He Struck the Ex-President.
, Gns Butterworth, the popular boni*
face of the Iiidgeway House, is probAblv
the only living man who, literally
speaking, struck a President of the
jUnited States and received thanks in/Stead
of a term in jail for it. Mr. Butterworth
once gave it to Benjamin
'Harrison in the neck and he lives to
S+all the tale. It was while President
arrison was living in his Cape May
cottage. Mr. Butterworth was runping
a hotel not far from the Executive
residence. One day while enjoying
a ride on a trolley car Mr. Butterworth,
who happened to be sitting be
2nncl a 6hort, thicK-set man with gray
hair and beard, noticed a very large,
healthy mosquito getting its bloody
work in on the back of the thick-set
man's neck. Acting on a very natural J
impulse, Mr. Butterworth raised his 1
tight hand and brought the palm of it *
idown on the man's neck with a re- ?
pounding slap. The man turned '
quickly arojand and Mr. Butterworth i
paw that he was the President of the '
United States. <
"I beg your pardon," said Mr. But- c
terworth, "but there was a mosquito <
,on your neck."
"Thank you very much," remarked 1
jthe Chief Executive, cordially. "Judg- ]
ing from the force of your blow I 3
don't think the inseot will give me '
&ny more trouble. I don't use 6lang ]
.very often, bat this is the first time I i
?ver got it in the neck?at least in that
fashion."
Then Mr. Butterworth plucked the
dead mosquito from the President'? '
neck, and he and Mr. Harrison entered
into a pleasant chat on general .
topics. Mr. Butterworth has that
mosquito yet. ?Philadelphia Inquirer. ^
Biff Vessels lor the Lakes.
, Plans already formed settle the
question whether lake steamships 400
feet long or upward, with a capacity
of carrying 600 tons ot freight at a
load, will be common after the opening
of the channels twenty feet deep
through all the shallows between Duluth
and Chicago and the ports of
Lake Erie. There is no longer a
doubt that such monster vessels will
rapidly multiply within the next few
years, and they are certain to do a
great part of the carrying trade of the
lakes, perhaps most of it, before the |
end of the century. I
The steamships already contracted |
for and those which are certain to be l
fbmlt before next spring will undoubtedly
so far surpass all vessels now in
,use in ability to make money at low
rates for freight that other vessel
owners will be forced to follow the
pioneers of this latest step forward in
the conscruction of splendid lake car
riere. J&ven an over 6uppiy 01 tonnage,
such as is very likely to be the
resalt, will not prevent the work of
replacing small craft with steamers of
the largest size from going on steadily.
In one 6ense it will hasten the
change. Only the biggest vessels can
make money in snch seasons of general
over-competition for cargoes, and
in order to continue the business the
owners of old boats must let them go
out and put in commission steamships
equal to any on the great lakeB.?

The Birch Tree That Split a Rock.
Among the hills of old Berkshire ie
a noble birch tree, gigantic in trunk
and limb and abundant in foliage,
which towers above his neighboring
companions, but grows, apparently,
out of an immense granite boulder.
Here, one might think, it would have
paused, submitting to the adamantine
preseure, either crushed utterly to the
earth or dwarfed and deformed by its
unyielding environment. But it had
the irresistible evolutionary forces of
nature behind it. The suulight above
wooed it from its prison house; it
pushed upward toward the light.
Gradually the little crevice in the rock
was widened, the great boulder was
split asunder as by the hammer of
Thor?the noble tree was scarcely dis- j
torted by the struggle, protected 1
from destructive storms by its con- 1
quered enemy.?Boston Transcript.

taste, thought and occasionally money

The arrangement of the hair, a becoming
neok adornment, a stylish
veil?these three points of a toilet are
serious matters to be well pondered
over.
This season Dame Fashion has seen
fit to provide her followers with a
great variety of neckwear, so that
long throated and short throated,
3mail necl'^d and large necked women
may each a.ld all find something suitable.
While the skirts of the smartest
gowns are severely plain, trimming
galore is used upon the waist and
most wonderful effects and colors are
accounted fashionable. Embroidery
and lace, silk and satin and all sorts i
of contrasting colors, as well as fabrics,
are combined with a curiously
bewildering result, which if becoming,
calls forth only favorable criticism.
Capes and collars of every material j

that there would have been a great i
falling off in the receipts of the rail- |
roads for extra baggage were it not |
for the immense size of the sleeves.
For positively one gown, with half a
dozen different collars and trimmings,
would suffice in place of the same
number of gowns generally considered
absolutely necessary. Fancy embroidered
collars and fichus transform
plain gowns into most dressy affairs
and cover defects if cut and fit in a
delightful manner.
In all the shops are now sola these
fancy collars, the prices varying according
to the materials. It is possible
to make them at home if onca a
good pattern is secured, and, of
course, by so doing much finer embroidery
can be had for less money.
The plain ones, which have only a band
of insertion, are very effective, and as
they are sold for less than SI, are well
worth that amount, for the money
3aved would be very trifling, and they
are fussy things and take considerable
time and patience to make. The more
elaborate ones have the yoke of allover
embroidery and one or more full
embroidered ruffles. Some are of line
tucked muslin, with lace ruffles. An
extremely pretty stvle of collar, which
can be bought forS2.50, has the yoke
of narrow tucked organdie trimmed
with heavy lace two inches wide. This
is finished around the neck with a collar
of folded moire ribbon, deep purple,
and as this year purple is worn
with every other color, will do duty
on a pale blue, a yellow or even a
light pink gown.
The beauty of the batiste and muslin I
gowns lies in the collars, which form !
the principal trimmings on the wai6t.
Four or five narrow bias ruffles, edged
with narrow Valenciennes lace, are

one point can be left to lie or hang as

and colored pique or duck, and also
the striped galaten, are now worn by J
women as well as children, and quite | 5
irrespective of sailor dresses. They you
are invariably becoming, and look tied
