il Deer Shed Their Boms. H>eer shed their horns annually in early summer. The horns of a deer I solid, and not hollow like those of Pow; they sprout from the skull, the ose at the bottom of the horn being vhe part of union and separation. The horns are frequently found in the woods, where they are dropped at the foot of a tree, at which the animal has rubbed them to get them loose from the head. The young horns grow quickly, and at first are covered with a Boft down, called the velvet.?New York Times.

Machine stitching simulates cuffs and finishes all edges in regular tailor style, smoked pearl buttons in groups of three decorating the fronts, lapels and wrists of sleeves. A single strap buttoned on underneath, juBt below the revers, can be used to hold the fronts together if so desired. All light-weight coatings, covert and and ladies' cloth, tweed, cheviot and mohair, serge or other firmly woven woolen dress fabrics will develop satisfactorily by the mode. A new and rather "swell" fancy is to have a skirt of small checked woolen in navy blue and white, with jacket of blue broadcloth in this style, lapels and collar being faced with the check. The same idea is carried out in brown, black, green, gray and tan. The quantity of material 44 inches wide required to make this jacket for a miss fourteen years of age is 3 yards. THE POPULAR SHIRT WAIST. # Another style of the popular shirt waist, as seen in the second large illustration, is made of fancy striped bastiste, and worn with a satin stock necktie. Turnover and standing col lars are provided in the pattern, either style of which can be joined permanently or both made separately and buttoned onto the shaped band that finishes the neck. The shirt waist c'o e ia front with studs or buttons throng a a box plait formed on the right iroat edge,gathers at the neck,causing pretty fullness over the bust. The full back is gathered at the top and joined to the yoke lining that has a straight lower edge, thf> double-pointed yoke being laid over, stitched on its lower edges, thus insuring a neat and durable finish. Gathers or a casing and draw string can be used to adjust the fullness at the waist line. Bishop Bhirt sleeves are gathered top and bottom into straight cuffs that close with cuff buttons or links, pointed laps finishing the openings at the back of sleeves. The lower edge of waist is worn under the skirt, and a belt of the material or a fancy belt of leather, gilt or ribbon LADIES' SHI encircles the -waist. Lawn, percale, sateen, cambric, (limit}', Oxford or ' Madras shirting in checks, strips, Persian or lancv designs all make up stylishly by the mode. The quantity of material 3G inches ( wide required to make this shirt waist for a lady having a 36-inch bust measure is 4} yards.?May Manton. SUMMER MILLINERY. Summer millinery is already practically decided for the seat-on, and fancy rough straws in a great variety of colors are to be worn. These are mixed with shot eflect, in decided contrast or plain, and the shapes are 3 as varied as the colors. The brims 1 | are gracefully Anted and the crowni are poicted, with plaits at top, lo* and 6quare, bell shape, or sugar loaf, as you wish, and the tricorn hat it commended as especially suited to the new mode of trimming. A new style of bonnet is shaped like a heart, with the two points over the face and trimmed with upright bow? of chine ribbon and aigrettes, which are to flourish during the summer ae they have this winter. Flowers are tc be worn in great profusion, roses especially, and the new varieties are oi velvet, with silk centers in the peculiar colors of the petunia. Wallflower, gray, mauve, and even shot effects are produced in this flower show, while violets are to be as popnlar ae ever. Rhinestones and pearl buckles, cabochons and steel ornaments of all sorts will be used, and some of the untrimmed straw hats have coronets of sequins. Glace chine ribbons oi different widths will be a specialty oi summer millinery, and both hats and NCY FIGURED MOHAIR. bonnets will be trimmed with bows oi blue lace which has a white design on it. Chine ribbons on shot straws wit)] a touch of this lace make a very effective combination, and black chiffon, with cream lace applique, will be extensively used. ladies' night or lounging gown. Fine white cambrio is here daintily trimmed with embroidered edging and insertion to match. The full fronts and back are joined by under-arm seams, the tops being gathered and joined to slightly rounded yoke portions that join in shoulder seams. The fashionable arrangement of the right front is made to close invisibly at the left side, the yoke of tucking, insertion and embroidery being handsomely revealed between the lapels of round collar. Full bishop sleeves are gathered, top and bottom, the wrists ladies' night or lounging gown. being completed with a frill of embroidery gathered into a band of insertion.

At the beginning of the season some one prophesied that the separate waist would soon be a thing of the past. But no such state of affairs is indicated in the showrooms at the shops.

"Sundown Doctors"?Improvidence the Rule. /^^LERKINQ for the Government I / is a fixed habit of wbioh few y j men are able to break themthemselves. Once a Governi ment clerk, always a Government clerk, is a maxim woll recognized i everywhere. Several clerks and messengers in [ the public service are more than i ninety years old. Fully twenty-fiva i per cent, of the 18,000 men and wo [ men m office registered more than I fifty years of age when the last census of the departments was taken. In the hietory of the Government service disability has never been considered a valid reason for removing a clerk. 1 All the Government clerks are well paid. Their salaries range from $900 to $1800 a year. The statement of the employes in the oustom service in New York recently that the Government employes receive "meagre pay" is answered by this statement: The clerks at Washington work only six and onehalf hours a day, and the law protects them from any demand for work out of the regular hours. They are entitled to thirty days' leave of absence, with pay, every year, and to thirty days' sick leave, with pay, in addition .to this, and, 1 may add, most of the clerks are sick nearly, if not all of the thirty days each year. The inadequacy of the service rendered for the pay they receive was illustrated by the statement of the Chairman of the T> oe :n.?? JL UBlUliiUC VjUUJUiitlCC U1 LUO nuuau ID" cently that if the postal service was in the hands of a business man he would make $20,000,000 a year out of it, instead of showing a -deficit each year, for a part of the deficit is due to the short hoars and good pay of the olerks of the department. Working from 9 o'clock in the morn* ing nntil 4 o'clook in the afternoon, this great army of clerks (it is nearly three-quarters the size of the standing army of the United States) has amaz. ing opportunities for gratifying am. bition. An inventor employed in one c of the departments could devote four or five hours a day to developing me1 chanical ideas without undue exertion. A man of literary tasteB could spend as many hours writfasr, and the best literary work is done in as 6hort a space of time by well known writers. A student could gives almost as much time to his books as though the Government had no claim on him. And, in fact, the medical and law schools of 1 Washington draw a great part oftheir pupils from the departments. But the doctors who graduate while they are in the department service do not resign their clerkships. They remain in the department, doing clerical work, and if they practice medicine at all they do it after offioe hours. "Night doctors" they are called, and "sundown doctors," and so seriously have they interfered with the practice of regular physicians that under this 1 Administration the heads of departments have issued an order forbidding them to serve two masters. As to the lawyers who graduate while working in the departments, they stick close to their desks, and if they make any use of their professional knowledge, it is to obtain promotion to a better salaried positionperhaps as law olerk. When Mr. Wanamaker was Post-v master-General he said that if Congress would only pension the old employes in the department he could get at lpAnt. r?fir mora work out of the department's force. At intervals the olerks Agitate a proposition to have a precentage deducted from all salaries, to be applied to the establishment of a fund to be kept in the Treasury and used for pensioning superannuated or disabled department employes. Such a plan was put before Congress in a shape of a petition from some of the Government employes. They want two per cent, of their salaries withheld to form a fund for disabled or superannuated clerks. Of course there are exceptions to the rule of improvidence among department clerks. The chief oi a division in the Treasury who was considered one of the department fixtures was removed three or four years ago. Inquries among his friends by those who were disposed to sympathize with him showed that he hand fully $50,000 invested in real estate. A colored clerk resigned from the Treasury Department a few years ago because he had not time enough after department hours to attend to .his business interests. He had entered the Department of Justice as a clerk, and out of his i a.i ? ,1 *V*,-v nn.AvnTk? Biliary mure uuu iu mu xicunuijr uepartment be bad saved enough to make some fortunate investment in real estate. He was worth 375,000 when he left the Government service. Some clerks own the houses in which they live. But most of the clerks live in rented houses or have rooms in the boarding houses which are common to every part of this city. Some ofjthem have houses in common; otherB keep boarding houses and rent rooms to Congressmen and J to other clerks. Many of the bachelors live at small hotels. Comparatively few have homes, and those who have keep them not in ' a spirit of economy, but to indulge a rather expensive taste for society. Many of the clerks in the depart- 1 ments belong to distinguished fami- i lies. Senators and members and even \ cabinet officers find the departments ' nnd excellent dumping ground for poor relations, and many representa < i-i?3 / "L:~u uvea or lmpoveriBueu itimmca wun-u have a place in the history of America enter the department service because they lack other means of making a livelihood.?New York Press, , .

A Saco (Me.) girl has ^ pet pig which she leads about the streets of pai the town as other girls sometimes lead a poodle. The pig is young, and pretty as pigs go, and wears a broad bow of Ecarlet ribbon about its neck. T It ambles along contentedly as a ,a8< poodle would, except when its mis- nPc tress's walks take it past an inviting Bt01 puddle, when there is usually a sharp ?al and noisy struggle for a minute or two before the porker can be persuad- tbe ed to pursue its promenade.?New Pa!
