.JHRX New York City.?The close fitting little cap of the Dutch sort is one of the best liked head coverings for the mailer children and is always bejoming, while it can be made from a wiety of materials. Ilere are two that allow of almost every possible fariation. The two-piece cap can bo made of taffeta, of velvet, of cloth or <ilk, while the one-piece cap is adapted to the thinner materials and is peculiarly desirable for La\Nyi and ^ther washable fabrics. When made from this or from thin silk it can be Ined throughout and consequently be Sade as warm and snug as need be. is' illustrated the two-piece cap is JJJII ' iftiade of white silk with the revers, in true Dutch style, daintily embroidered by hand while its points are held by rosettes of ribbon and there is a httle frill of ribbon finishing the edge of the cap; the one-piece model is made of lawn with the revers of embroidery and the trimming of lawn rosettes and strings. The two-piece cap consists of the bead portion and the crown, which ire joined one to the other and can be finished with the revers or without la may be liked. The one-piece cap fa shirred to form the crown and these shirrings can be drawn up by means of ribbons inserted in casings ir simply formed by gathers as liked. There is a seam at the centre back of pe head portion which can be joined ir tied together at the edges, this lat:er plan being by far the better one tthen washable material is used, as lie cap can then be laid open quite ;mooth and flat and laundered with jerfect ease. It also allows a choice |>f a plain finish or the revers and the evers for either cape can be cut on he outlines illustrated. The quantity of material required 'or the medium size (one year) is, or either cap one-half yard of mateial twenty-one or three-eighth yard hlrty-six inches wide with one and a lalf yards or ruffling. ^ Royal Blue Hats. For fine hats, royal blue, verdigris ind Bordeaux ?\re the very newest olors. The first Is made up a good leal in velvet, with a sweeping brim, tigh crown, and floating ostrich ilumes or marabout of the same olpr, fastened by a butterfly bow of ilver ribbon. Verdigris is succerasully mixed with a rich red purple, 'or instance, a verdigris felt with an nderbrim of rich purple velvet and andsome feathers of the same coloi "awing from the crown. Bordeaux is est used alone or toned with othei eds, generally of lighter shades. Bead Embroidery. An original trimming is made ol Iny round beads of all colors. These eads stitched close together?jusl s in the bead tapestry bags and iurses?are used, not only as an em Iroidery on collars and coat fronts ut also in separate motifs.

Again, it requires only a small amount of ; material where the gores can be cut " in and out, and even where material must all be cut one way, leaves suffl- ) ciently large pieces to allow of cut- [ ting the suit or the gown fiom a com- ' paratively small pattern. In this in- ' stance the material is a novelty goods of wool with threads of silk and the 1 trimming is bands of taffeta, but [ braid can be similarly c<;)p'led. Bands of broadcloth are well liked on rough ' material or on velvet or velveteen 1 and again the skirt can be finished with a stitchcd hem only. -All seasonable materials that are used foi walking skirts are appropriate. The skirt is cut in nine gores, these j gores all being cut with extension? below the stitchings that are laid in ' 1 inverted pleats and pressed nat ; ^ ^ j ^ ^ j There also are inverted pleats at the centre back beneath which the closing is made invisibly. The quantity of material required i for the medium size is thirteen and a quarter yards twenty-seven, six and a 1 quarter yards forty-four or five and three-quarter yards fifty-two iuches wide if material has figure or nap; seven and three-quarter yards twenty-seven, five and three-eighth yards forty-four or four yards fifty-two inches wide if it has not, with nine yards of banding to trim as illustrated. * The Short Waist.

The mining of mica has grown to )e an important industry, especially lince it has been found to be an intulator of great value in electrical apjaratus; but little is popularly cnown of its sources. Some inter>sting information is given in an aricle on "The Uses of Mica," contribited to Cosmos (Paris) by Mr. Fourlues. Mica has been used for cenuries, he notes, but its uses have jreatly multiplied in recent yeaTs. )nce its only value was as a glazing or lanterns or as a decoration, but t is now applied in many new ways, lue especially to the development of he electrical industries. The term 'mica" embraces a group of complex iilicates. Its most remarkable charicteristic, common to all these vanities, i9 the ease with which they iplit into thin, flexible and often ransparent leaves. In thick plates t appears opaque with a black or olored reflection. This is due to the nnumerable surfaces of cleavage rom which the light is reflected suc:essively, finally being entirely abiorbed. Transparent sheets of pale solor are often utilized for glazing, 'specially in stoves and lamps, and iuch use absorbs about a third of the vorlcrs supply, me writer commies: "The most important use, however, s now as an insulator in electrical vork. Mica is infusible or nearly so, mpermeable to moisture, elastic, legible and cleavable; these quali,ies are not possessed all together jy any other known substance. It s thus employed for the Insulation )f the wires and bars of the arma;ures in dynamos, that is to say, be;ween the conductors and the iron jore. For this a very flexible mica s required?not white mica, but amjer colored. Armatures with micansulated conductors are incombusti)le. 'It serves also for the manufac;ure of the resonating diaphragms of ;elephones and phonographs. "In leaves in natural mica there ire often holes, striae, or small in:luded quartz crystals, which greatly imit its use. The inclusions, in par:icular, facilitate the establishment >f short circuits. Thus the electrical ndnstry has recourse to the use of plates of reconstructed mica. "To obtain these, sheets of paper is large as required are spread with ? nri/i nnnrilarofl miM 1C ? Uill lat, auu jyvTTuwtvu *m?w? , sprinkled over them in as uniform a layer as possible. After drying, a second layer of gum Is applied, then more mica, and so on, until the desired thickness is reached. The plate s subjected to a pressure of about L900 pounds to the square inch and it the same time heated by steam.The product thus obtained is homogeneous, free from cracks, of uniform ;hickness, and does not absorb mois:ure if the heating has been properly ione. It may be sawed, cut and ?ierced with ease. Finally, it is cheaper than natural mica. Conseluently, it has taken the place of :he latter for work of great size and 5ven for that of ordinary size. "In small establishments the manifacture of this 'micanite' is carried jn by hand; but on the large scale t is performed'mechanically, so that >ne woman may make about seven ;ubic feet in a day, which would rejuire the work of twenty women jsing their hands only. The manufacture of tubes, rings, etc., is carried on in a similar way. "Mica powder is used for the decoration of wall-paper, as in the production of snow effects; it is also largely employed in compositions that are non-conducting to heat. "Veins of mica are found in all countries, out lae muuauiat mui&ci is supplied chiefly by India, Canada ind the United States."?Translation made for The Literary Digest. Winter in Afghanistan. The cold is intense, the snow lies deep in the streets and the winds are freezing. Winter, beginning early in October and continuing until March, renders life in Kabul difficult and uncomfortable. Charcoal is the chief fuel, and as the houses, owing to numerous doors and windows, are very draughty, the supply of wood very limited, and coal unobtainable, it is necessary to wear, even in the house, treble thicknesses of clothing, and the longest, warmest and thickest of fur coats outside the doors. Meal times under such rigorous conditions are a distinct misfortune. All foodstuffs freeze solid, bread has to be chopped with an axe, and drink ing water DroKen witn a. iiamiuei. Pickles, sauces, jams and ink are better put away until the spring. Joints must be served piping hoi from the fire end lying over a pan of glowing charcoal?even then tne centre will probably be unthawed, while the matutinal cup of tea and the nocturnal cup of cocoa must be gulped rapidly if it is not to freeze before it is swallowed. There are but few compensations, even in Kabul, for the severity of the climate If one ventures out it is most necessary to keep out of the cold winds.? Angus Hamilton, in the Lady's Realm. Stuttering is Contagious. According to Dr. Gulzmann, whosf report Has Deen adopted and punlished by the German Government, involuntary mimicry plays a great part in stuttering. Like yawning, it is catching. The quicker a child is and the more imitative, the more apt it is to imbibe any defects of speech on the part of those by whom it is surrounded. Conclusive evidence ol the contagious nature of stuttering is to be found in the fact that the number of stutterers in a school increases steadily as the children pass upward from class to class. In the public schools of Berlin, for example, the number of stutterers among the children in the lower class was over five per cent, of the total strength of the class. This proportion rose from year to year as the children passed upward in the educational scale until in the higher class the percentage WHO riisrnvered to be .161. or more than three times the number found Wheii the same children were in the lowest grade.?J'idger. , A Penman's Reward, On a time a pale student from Ga: Was pinched for being a fa.

Daily Life in Amcrica. At a recent dinner in London the conversation turned to the subject of lynching in the United States. It was the general opinion that a large percentage of Americans met death at the end of a rope. Finally the hostess turned to an American who had taken no part in the conversation, and said: "You, sir, must have often seen these affairs?" "Yes," he replied, "we take a kind of municipal pride in seeing which city can show the greatest number of lynchings yearly." "Oh, do tell us about a lynching you have seen yourself," broke in half a dozen voices at once. "The night before I Bailed for England," said the American, "1 was giving a dinner at a hotel to a party of intimate friends when a colored waiter spilled a plate of soup over the gown of a lady at an adjoining table. The gown was utterly ruined, and the gentlemen of her party at once seized the waiter, tied a rope around his neck, and at a signal from the injured lady swung him into the air." "Horrible!" said the hostess with a shudder. "And did you actually see this yourself?" "Well, no," admitted the American anoloeeticallv.

I paltered with my appetite, and of course yielded to the temptation to drink more. At last I got so bad that I made up my mind I must either quit the use of coffee or die. "Everything I ato distressed me, and I suffered severely almost all the time with palpitation of the heart.

My breath grew short and the least exertion set me to panting, i slept but little and suffered from rheumatism.
