we read of yoke?, bnt the yokes of to
day are quite different to those of past
seasons. They are either qnite nar
row-merely a band across the npper
portion of the neck, attached to a
rounded drapery drooping over the
.rm-cr they are wide enough to cover
entirely the top of the bodice to the
bust, the newest being a close-set
white cord, braided in an important
pattern. As the sea?ons grow the
ornamentations of dresses are more
garish. Gold spider net is covered
with floral sprays in pearls, garnets
and emeralds, and muslin is encrnsted
with diamonds or rhinestones, as well
aa with jet and pearls, . sapphire?,
opals and opalescent shells.

flat glass dish, pour the syrup over
them and serve with rich oream.

^"\?AA^ of Miss Windram so
GT"**-? A j?) soon as I succeeded
in elbowing my way through the dead
wall of Mrs. Bennett Wyse's guests
who stood between us. The result ot
a brief calculation, entered on the
next morning, was to convince me
that, during the six minutes it took
me playing the part of a pick, in or
der to reach Miss Windram, I made as
many enemies as I had made during
the thirty years of my life preceding
Mrs. Bennett Wyse's "At Home."
'..Have I avoided you, Mr. Glyn !"
she asked, opening her eyes very wide
and (bul this was doubtful) very in
nocently.
'The question is not if you have
done it, but why you have done it," I
said with som--) measure of severity.
"Supposa I deny that that is the
question?" abe suggested quite pleas
antly, though without quite such a
show of innocence as had been asso
ciated with her previous inquiry. It
is quite possible to speak pleasantly
without any particular exuberance of
innocence.
"Supposa you deny it? Well, in
that case you will hare-hive deniu.l
it," said I. "But it so happens that
yon won't deny it, Miss Wiudram."
"I'm not so sure of that. If any
one would make it worth my whilo ?
might."
"Xo one will make it worth your
while. There is nothing left tor yon
but to speak the truth."
"Great hoavens! It is come to
that?"
"Why have you avoided me? We
wero good friends up to that day-I
have put a bine mark opposite that
day in my diary."
"Yes, wo were good friends; good'
friends are those who have a soand
quarrel every time they meet, I sup
pose?"
"Precisely; friends whose friend
ship is strong enough to eurvive a
quarrel."
"Did we quarrel that day?"
"We ceitn'nly did not. Where
would societv aa if a in au and a young
woman quarrelled because, whrn he
asked her-"
"Is there any need for you to tell
every ona in this stifling room what ?
one problematical I j foolish young mau
asked a certainly idiotic young wo
man?"
I felt that there was something in
her question. I had not, however,
been speaking louder than usual ; it
only seemed so because of a sudden
.momentary diminution in the volume
of soand proceeding from tho 20.1
guests of Mrs.. Bennett Wyee, who had
all been speaking at the same moment.
I tried to explain this to her; and
then she asked me what I thought of
the Signora Duse as an interpreter of
emotion as compare! with Mme. Sarah
Bernhardt, and ii I held, that an
actress who was an admirable expo
nent of tho strongest emotions might
be depended on to interpret the most
powerful passions.
"It is a nice question," I felt bound
to say. "Let us clear ont from thia
ruck and I think I'll be able to tell
you all that I know regarding
the higher emotions. These people
are not to bo depended on ; ono min
ute they are talking fortissimo; tho
next they are pianissimo."
"Would von have them rehearsed,
Mr. Glyn?" i
"Welt, a good deal mighi be done
by judicious stage management."
"And a conductor with an ivory -j
baton? There's something in that, I
admit. Your idea is that they should
become forte when you are speaking,
so as to afford a eort of background
for your wisdom."
"Wisdom? What man with thc
least pretence to wisdom would come
into a crowd like this for the sake of
talking to a girl who has persistently
avoided him for tho past year and a
month?"
"What man indeed?"
"And this tringa us back to the
original question. Why have you so
persistently avoided me !"
? could see that she was a trifle put
oat by my persistence in returning to
tho topio which ha 1 originated with
me. She had apparently found some
imperfection in the feather tips of ber
fan, and thought that it would be un
wise to neglect the opportunity of
ding off all the uneven, fluffs.
Some of them settled upon my waist

undisturbed, a few made a beeline for
the caverous nostrils of our neighbor.
General Firebrace. He sneezed with
considerable force of character.
"Well, you see, so many things have
happened since May the third last i
year, Mr. Glvn," said Miss Windram,
when ehe had satisfied herself by tho
repeated opening and closing of her
zan that she had remedied tho defect
in its construction.
"What things-in addition to ^our
avoidance of me?" I asked.
"Well, you have published a book
to begin with. Isn't that something?" ?
she said.
"If wc avoid all the people who
have published a book our circle of
acquaintance would become appreci
ably narrowed, Miss Windram. Any
thing else?" i
'"Hasn't it gone into six editious?" I
she cried in a tone of accusation.
"I don't deserve the blame for j
that," taid I, in a way that was meant j
to 6how her that I felt the injustice o? |
her accusation. "Blame the public,
if ven wish. Tho public are invari-1
ably idiotic, the editor of the Universe
announced in connection with that
book of mine. Ho was right, though
the fact that the public steadily re
fused to buy tho Universe points in
the other direction."
"Oh, it's ail very well to try and
throw tho blame on the public," said
Miss Windram with a shrug, "but is
that quite generous of von, Mr.
Glyn?"
'Terhaps it isn't. Was it on ac
count of the book vou avoided me so
carefully?"
"Oh, there were other things. Th-;
Geographical Society gave you a gold
medal, didn't thoy?"
"They were right there. The.
couldn't get out of it."
"I dare say. That may be all very
well, but people who get gold medals
conferred on them can't expect to be
treated as ordinary people?"
"I suppose yon are right. But do
they expect to be treated as ordinary
people?"
'That's qnite a side issue. I de
cline to dieeuss it."
"And that's all?"
"All? all? Heavens 1 what did you
expect?"
"Sense-that is, a moderate amount
of sense; reason-that is, a modicum
of reason ; frankness, that is, a soup
con of frankness. Supper? Oh, let
them go to-to supper."
And she let them.
We were left practically alone.
"Are you engaged to any man for
6upper?" I asked of M?SB Windram.
"Xes,"ehe replied. I believed that
I detected a monrnfel tone. If I had
not detected that note I would have
left her side.
I did not leave her side.
"And I am engaged to somo wo
man. Lot us go to some plaoa togeth
er," said I.
The reasonableness of the sugges
tion-that is, the modicum of reason
ableness-seemed to strike her.

Thal; was how it commenoed. I saw
that she was very pale; and I had felt
her hand trembling as it rested on ni;
sleeve a minute before. I perceived
that ehe fancied I had led her hither
to tell her something, and I was anx
ious to reassure her. It was I who
wanted to be told something.
"All?" said she.
"Ad," said I.
"It was mamma," Bhe said quito
meekly.
"I guessed as mn?h. And that is
all?"
"Isn't it enough? You're a man.
You know her."
"Ah-now."
"Now. ] Baitl now. But a year
ago-"
"And a month?"
"And a month. If you hadu't re
mombered the exact date I should
probably be at supper now. A year
and a month ugo Bhe was my one en

Miss Windram got up from- beside
me and took a few steps to tho side of
the conseivatory. up which a splendid
rose wa3 clambering. She had her
eyes fixed on a spray. It would-have
been out of the reach of most girls,
but she was very tall, and she man
aged to break it off the parent stem.
She returned to her seat.
"Well?" she said.
"Then my poor uncle--"
"Poor?" She gave a laugh.
"My poor rich uncle died, leaving
his money to me, and your mother
told you that you were to draw me on.
I could swear that those were her ex
act words. Did you pluck those rosei
only to tear off their petals?"
One rose lay wrcoked at her feet.
The other dropped from her hand and

failed in your aim, Rosamund; you
did not make rae believe in your sin

I am certain she gave a sob ; but she
did not take her bands down from her
face.
"Look at your feet," I said sudden
ly. She was startled, and glanced
down quickly. (Her gloves, I per
ceived, were ruined). "Look at your
feet. Which is to be my future-our
future-our future, Rosamund:
Which? The wrecked rose or the

She picked up the completo rose

MICHIGAN'S AMBITIOUS WOMBS.
In Michigan, two towns, Deoatui

tora is a woman. Two women conduct
the principal restaurant. The pro

BEASON FOlt ABANDONING COSSET?.
Science has found still another rea
?on why women should abandon cor
sets. It affects, however, only those
of the fair sex who thirst for the
higher education. At a certain young
women's college it wa3 noticed that
the delicate electrical instruments un
derwent sudden and extraordinary
changes. Every once in a while,
when a girl came up to explain
what she had learned about volts,
ohm?, and tho like, galvanometers
would gyrate wildly and the needles in
the various dials would swerve in a
most unaccountable manner. Finally
the profe sor discovered where the
trouble lay. It was tho steel in the
gin's corsets, and the faculty there
upon passed a law debarring.all cor
seted girls from the electrical depart
ment. At first the girls tried to
evade Ihe iule by tho utterance of
mild tarradiddles. But the inexora
ble professor circumvented them by
making the o\ssi>, as it entered, pass in
single file beside a delicate galvano
meter. Thc instructor stood beside
it in apparent unconcern, but the itf
strument "spotted" every steel-cor
seted girl with unerring Skill. Ono
lecturo under the conditions* was
enough, and the girls have nil gone in

CTCTJXO FOB WOMEN.
In an artiole in the Nineteenth Cen*
toy entitled "A Medical View of Cy
cling for Ladies," the author, Dr. W.
H. Fenton, indorses the exercise, as
serting that it has done more to im
prove the health of women than almost
anything that.has ever been invented.
"Let it at once ho said, an organi
cally sound woman can cycle with as
much impunity as a man. Thank
heaven, wo know now that this is not
one more of the sexual problems of.tho
day. Sex has nothing'to do with it,
beyond the adaptation of machino to
dress and dress to tho machine. Wo*
men are capable of great physical im
provement where thu opportunity ex
ists. Dress t ven now heavily handi
caps them. How fatiguing and dan
gerous were heavy ' petticoats and

number of chills to account for. When
fair practice has been made, and the
'hot stage,' so to speak, is over, tho
feet, ankles, neck and arms get very
cold when working up against wind.
Gaiters or spats, high collars and
close-fitting sleeves meet this diffi
culty. Summer or winter, it is far
safer to ~ear warm, absorbent under
clothing and avoid cotton.
"The diseases of women take a front
placo in our social life ; bert, if looked
into, ninety per cent, of them are
functional ailments, begotten of enui
and lack of opportunity of , some
means of working off their superflous
muscular, nervous and organic en
ergy. The effect of cycling within
the physical capacity of a woman acts
like u charm for gout, rheumatism and
indigestion. Sleeplessness, eo-called
'nerves' and all those petty miseries
for which the liver is BO often made
the scapegoat, disappear in the most
extraordinary way with tho fresh air
inhaled, and with the tissue destruc
tion and reconstruction effectci by
exercise and exhilaration.
.The large abdominal muscles do
little iu riding down hill or on level
ground, but in hill climbing great
strain is thrown upon them. There
are many reasons why women should
not overtax this group. Already
thousands of women qualifying for
generf.l invalidism have been rescued
by cycling. Women aro very subject
to varicose veins in the logs. Cycling
often rids them of this trouble. A
girl who has to stand for hours and
hours serving behind a counter gets
relief untold from an evening spin on
her'bike.' Her circulation has been
improved, and the a"hes and pains
which would have ebort ly made an old
woman of her have gone und a sense of
exhilaration and relief has taken their
place."

Tho most popular bathing costume
this season is made of black or white
serge or mohair, with full skirt and
knickerbockers, a fitted belt round
waist with a deeply pointed yoke, full
sleeves that barely reach tho elbows,
black stockings, and an oilskin cap
covered with black or Tartan surah.
For visiting and similar occasions
pale green straw is made into a high,
narrow crown with very wide brim,
which is veiled in white tulle, oaught
ap on one side with a big rosette and
three nodding black plumes. On thc
other side ia a knot of lilies and a big
bunch of the same rest upon the hair,
underneath the brim, at tho back.
Just in front aro two large crushed
pink roses that look as if they had
fallen into place.
Never was lace so profusely used or
so varied in] design. From narrow

Tho Wonderful Bell-Shaped Mountain.
When the Alaska steamers are get
ting tow?rd Sitka they go through t
passageway known as Finlanson's
Cana), and if they happen to pass a
certain point ia the daytime a most
aaasiial-looking monntaia caa be seen,
lt has been named tho "Bell-shaped
Mountain," and a moro appropriate
cognomen could not be found.
This peak, which has always been
one of the sights for tourists, occupies
a most unusual position. It is direct
ly in the centre of tho channel, aud
when' tho steamer is geing northward
reems to block further progress. For
several miles before tho mountain is
reached thc passageway is not any too
wide, and tho steep mountains como
close to tho water's edge on both sides.
They seem to joia the. lower portion
of tho bell-shaped mountains and form
ah impassable barrier across the road
way.
Aa the Bteamcr-via-holding -dircoily
for the mountain it shows to the best
advantage. Rising abiuptly'from the
minor liko surface of tho water, it
rears its head about 1000 feqt toward
the sky aud reveals the most perfect
symmetry ia its outlia?s. Tho sides
slope inward, nul oa the top there is
a little kooli, tho whole combination
forming- a perfect bell.
If the mountain is seen in the early
morning, when tho steamer is about
five miles away, it will appear sil
houetted against the sky. The edges
look clean and sharp cut, and it is
hard to believe that it is not tho work
of human hinds. It really looks like

Marr?is te thc Natives.
Dr. Gregory, ia exploriag the lofty
ranges of Mount Kenya in Africa, was
accompanied by native followers from
the coast, to whom the frost and snow
met with at great altitudes were inex
plicable wonders, that could be attri
buted only to magical agencies.
"They came to tell me," writes the
traveler, "that the water they had left
in their cooking-pots was all bo
witched. They said it was white, aud

Fundi had even hit it with a stick,
which would not go in. They begged
me to look at it, and I told them to
bring it to me. They declined, bow
er- r, to touch it, and implored me to
go to it. The water, of course, had
frozen solid. I handled tho ice and
told the men they were silly to be
afraid of. it, for this change always
came over water on the tops ol high
mountains. I put ono of the p *v on
the fire, and predicted it would soon
turn again into water. Tho men Eat
around and anxiously watched it;
wheo it had melted they joyfully told
me that the demon was expelled, and
I told them they could now use the
water; but as soon as my back was
turned they poured it away, and re
rilled their pots from an udjoininr>

Hot Water as a Motive I'OTTPT.
Tho New York Central Comps ay is
experimenting with a new motor. Its
motive power is neither steam nor
electricity nor compressed air, but
hot water under enormous pressure.
This io stored in supply boilers aud
then charged under the same pressure
in tho battery cylinders of the motor.
Its great merit is said to be its cheap
ness. Extensive plants are not; re
quired, and the cars can be operated
on any track. All that is necessary
are a number of boiler-houses (dong
the road.
Tho New York Central has had au
experimental motor constructed, r.nd
a freight car has been fitted up as a
boiler-house to supply it with power.
In thc freight car aro two vertical
boilers, the latter being eight feet in
height and six feet in diameter. In
the middle of the large boiler is a
great copper coil. Two iron pipes
project from the aide of the freight
car and are connected with socket
couplings to pipes in the motor car
alongside. The hot water is run
through these pipes into the motor
car'u battery cylinders, and then thc
motor is ready to start.
Tho motor car has been put on the
main track of the company a number
of times, has been run for five to ten
minutes each time, and, it is said, a
high speed has been attained.
Chauncey Depcw, the President ol
the New York Central, soys tho new
motor will bo used in the euburban
service of tho Grand Central if it
proves to be the success predicted for
it. The series of experiments started
with it have not yet been finished, and
the motor is therefore still an object
of study and uncertainty, but soma
engineers believe that it will r?volu.
tionize railroad locomotion.
Aut nnatic Hshiug EoJ.
A Chicago genius was recently
granted a patent on an automatic fish
ing rod. This great labor saving de
vice consists of - rod and bolder
cocked and poised upon a strong
spring. In this position it moy be left
upon tho shore by itself, aflor the
owner has baited tho hook and cast it
into the water. When the fish seizes
tho bait, the tug it gives the line
opens the trigger, and the fish is
jerked ashore and landed high and
dry by the uncoiling of the spring.
This invention at once removes fish
ing from the list of laborious occupa
tions and makes it nothing but pas
time. _
Largest Clock in Gcrmnuy.
Ihe largest clock in Germany is in

of the tallest landmarks in thc city,
and can be eeen far out at sea. Tnt
four dials of the clock each measure
twenty-six feet in diameter. Th(

Importance of Noonday Appetite.
Persons who keep close watch upon
themselves are of the opinion that the
hour of noon is the most critical period
of life. At that time the human frame
undergoes ferions changes. The stom
ach has dispatched the morning meal
and sends sconting parties out in
search of another. The eyes and
brain are on the alert, and there is a
sort of ail-goneness pervading the an
atomy that sharpers tho faculties and
puts a new edge on the teeth. It is
nature's dining time, and everything
about the healthy man or woman is at
tuned to the domination of enjoyment
of what is called a "good square
meal." Thoso who pey heed to the
prompting of nature at this divine
hour have their reward in good appe
tite, good temper and excellent diges
tion,which is conducive to all the good
that flesh is heir to. But those who,
following the imperious dictates of
fashion, defer the hour of dining until
all natural longings are dead,and have
to be resurrected by adventurous aids,
lay a train of evils and discomforts
which sooner or later become the
plague of tbeir lives. It is a well
known fact that the noon diners are
healthier and stronger and have better
chances for long life than olh.'re.

Animals la H?t Weather.
The dreadful hot wave that has hung
over the country recently provea once
more that, after all, man is the tough
est creature in the animal kingdom.
Hundreds of men have worked with
horses recently to see the latter drop
prostrated. Dogs, too, have suffered
dreadfully and o:'ten needlessly.
Water, shale and rest are the
three saving conditions for animal?.
Through some wrong-headed policy
in oar larger cities it wonld sometimes
look as if thero were a conspiracy to
make these conditions as difficult as
possible.
New York has been within a year
nearly denuded of shale trees. The
old-time watering tronzos hive been
largely removed. Teamsters who do
not carry buckets on tu cir carts often
compel their horses to wait for water
uutil they aro nearly choked. There
are no shady resting places on the
streeis, the barns aro i!r ventilated
oven?, and so upon occasions of exces
uive heat the poor animals drop by
ttcores. A veterinary surgeon esti
m?tes that the mortality among work
iug horses in New York during one
week has been fully 80 per cont.
