' ~ '1 he Yoke__< In nearly all tho accounts of fash ionable dressing in Paris and London rte read of yoke*, but the yokes of to day are quite different to those of past eeasons. They are either quite nar row-merely a band across the upper portion of the neck, attached to a rounded drapery drooping over the arm-or they are wide erjough to cover entirely the top of the bodice to tho bust, the newest being a close-set white cord, braided in an important pattern. As the seasons grow the ornementations of dresses are more gar'sh.

It is one of women's chief charms. No one cares for one who really lacks this essential to womanliness. Women have suffered fearfully because of over-sensitive ness in this direc tion. They could n't say to the phy sician what they ought to say to someone. Mrs. Pinkham has re ceived ! the con fidence of thou sands. Women open 'theirhearts to her. She understands their suffering, and has the power to relieve and cure. In nearly all cases the source of women's suffering is in the womb. In many cases the .-.?.ale physician does not understand the case and treats the patient for consumption-indigestion -anything but thc right thing. It is under such circumstances that thousands of women have turned tc Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., and opened their heart and lives-woman to woman-and received lier help. You ask how she can tell if the doctor cannot ? Because no man living ever treated so many cases and possesses such vast expe: ience. Displacement, inflammation, torpid action, stagnation, sends to all parts of the body the pains that crush you. Lydia E. Pinkham's "Vegetable Compound" is the sure cure for this trouble. For twenty years it has done its grand work and cured thousands. JP BOM a slight chafe TO.. the worst old 20-years' case of Eczema. CURES THEM ALL TETTERINE. 1 box bv mail for 50c in cash or stamps.

SMITH, President THE TIME HY have you so per sistently avoided me ever since-since well, since Lady Barkston's garden party?" I inquired of Miss Windram so Eoon as I succeeded in elbowing my way through the dead wall of Mrs. Bennett Wyae's guests who stood between us. The result ol 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 ma .le dnnug the thirty years of my life precediug Mrs. Bennett Wyee's "At Home.'' .*r we I avoided you, Mr. Glyu !" she asked, opening her eyes very wide and (but this was doubtful) very in nocently. "The question ?3 not if you have done it, but why you have done it," I 6aid with sonn measure of severity. "Suppose I deny that that is the question?" she suggested quite pleas antly, though without quite such a show of innocence as hud been asso ciated with her previous inquiry. It is quite possible to speak pleasantly without any particular exuberance of innocence. "Suppose you deny it? Well, in that case you will have-have denied it," said I. "But it so happens that yon won't deny it, Miss Wiudram." "I'm not so Eure of that. If any one would make it worth civ wkilo ? might." "Xo one will mako it worth your while. There is nothing left tor yon but to speak the truth. " "Great hoavens! It is como to that?" "Why have yon avoided me? We were good friends up to that day-I have put a blue mark opposite that day in my diary." "Yes, we were good friends; good' friends are those who have a sound quarrel every time they meet, I sup pose?" "Precisely; friends whose friend ship is strong eno:igh to survive a quarrel." "Did we quarrel that day?" "We ceitu'nly did uot. Where would society if a mau and a young woman quarrelled because, when he asked her-" "Is there any need for yon to teil every OUJ m this stilling room what ; one problematically foolish young mau ? i asked a certainly idiotic young wo- ' < man?" ; I felt that there was something in ; her question. I had not, however, i been speaking louder than usual ; it : july see- ?ed so because of a sudden i momentary diminution in the volume of sound proceeding from tho 20.1 ? guests of Mrs. Bennett Wy?e, who had < iii been speaking at tho samo moment. - [ tried to explain this to her; and < then she asked me what I thought of ] the Signora Duse as au interpreter of i .?morion as compare! with Mme. Sarah Bernhardt, and if I held, that an i actress who was an admirablo expo- I cent of tho strongest emotions might j be depended on to interpret the most < powerful passions. "It is a nice question," I feltbouud to say. "Let us clear ont from this i ruck and I think I'll be able tc tell you all that I know regarding the higher emotions. These people are not to be depended on ; ono m?n ate they are talking fortissimo ; tho next they are pianissimo." "Would von have them rehcarsoJ, ' i Mr. Glyn?" i "Weil, a good deal might be done i by judicious stage management." ! i "And a conductor with an ivory j baton? There's something in that, I ' admit. Your idea is thai they should I become forte when you are speaking, | 30 as to afford a sort of background | for your wisdom." "Wisdom? What man with the i least pretence to wisdom would come i into a crowd like this for tho sake of , talking io a girl who has persistently i avoided him for tho pa3t year and a Ljonth?1' . : "What man indeed?" "And thia brings us back to the | original question. Why have you so . persistently avoided me !" I I could see that fhe was u trifle put j out by my persistence in returning to i tho topic which hal originated with i me. She had apparently found some imperfection in the feather tips of her fau, and thought that it would be un wise to neglect the opportunity of pulling off all the uneven fluffs. Some of them settled upon my waist coat, where I allowed them co repose undisturbed, a few made a bee line for the caverous nostrLs of our neighbor, General Firebrace. He sneezed with considerable force of character. "Well, you see, so many things have happeued since Mny ths third last year, Mr. Glyn," said Miss Windram, I when she had satisfied herself by the repeated opening and closing of her fan that she had remedied tho defect in its construction. * "What things-in addition to your avoidance of me?" I asked. "Well, you have published a book to begin with. Isn't that something?'' j she said. "ff we avoid all the peopio 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 B?X editions?" I Bbc cried in a tone of accusation. "I don't deserve the blume for that," taid I, in a way th?t was meant : to show her that I felt the injustice ol | her accusation. "Blame the public, i if ven wish. Tho publie are invari-1 ably idiotic, the editor of the Universe i announced in connection with that j book of mine. Ho was right, though ; the fact that the public steadily re- ! fused to buy tho Universe points in ? the other direction." "Ob, it's ail very well to try and j throw tho blame on the public," said ; Miss Windram with a shrug, "but is ; that quite generous of von, Mr. Glyn?" "i'erhups it isn't. Was it on ac count of the book you avoided me uo carefully?" "Oh, there were other things. The Geographical Society gave you a goid medal, didn't they?" '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 you are right. But do they expect to be treated as ordinary people?" "That's quite a side issue. I de cline to discuss it." "And that's all?" "All? all? Heavens ! what did you expect?" "?ense-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 Miss Windram. "Tes," she replied. I believed that I detected a mournful 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. Let us go to somo place togeth er," said I. The reasonableness of the sugges tion-that is, the modicum of reason ableness-seemed to strike her. Wo reached one o; the conserva tories without haviug to tell a single lie. bnt that was probably because we met no one eu route ; every one was at supper. 1 steered her to a beat nu der a palm. The light was very dim. A fountain dished uuder^tho electric lamp in the distance. "Tell me all," I said. That was how it commenoed. I saw that shs was very pale ; and I had felt her hand trembling as it rested on m y sleeve a minute before. I perceived that she fancied I bad led her hither to tell her something, and I was anx ious to reassure her. It was I whe wauted to be told something. "All?" said she. "A,]," said! "It was ?namnn," she said quite meekly. "I guessed as miub. And that is all?" "Isn't it enough? You're a mau. Iou know her." "Ah-now." "Now. J said now. But a year ago-" "And a month?" "And a mouth. If you hadu't re membered the exact date I should probably be at supper now. A year nod month ago she was my one en emy. She knew that I loved you rcs, a year and u month ago I loved vou m a sort of way -not the way I do now ; and she knew that you loved me-in a sort of way. She com manded you to keep me at a distance, four mother is not a woman of gen ius, but upon occasions she can bo juite as disagreeable as though she ?vere. She prefers, however, being disagreeable by deputy. You were her deputy, a year ago-and a" month." Miss Windram got up from- beside me and took a few steps to tho side of the conservatory, up which a splendid rose wa.s clambering. She had her eyes risod on a spray. It would- havo been out of tue reach of most girls, but she was very tall, and she man aged to break it off tho 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 bis money to me, and your mother told you that you were to draw me on. [ could swear that those were her ex *ct words. Did you pluck those roses only to tear off their petals?" One rose lay wrcoked at her feet. Ihe other dropped from her hand and lay complete among the crimson Hakes. She put her hi:nds beforo hei face. "But instead of drawing me on you persistently avoided me, and, in fact, did everything that was in your pow er to make mo believe that you were sincero when you told me, at the com mand of your mother, that you had never heard unything more ridiculous thau ray suggestion that wo should love each other ; and that you hoped I would not thiuk it necessary to re peat anything so absurd. Yon havo failed in your aim, Rosamund ; you did not make mo believe in your sin cerity. Was I right?" I am certain she gave a sob ; but she did not take her hands down from her fece. "Look nt your feet," I said eudden ly. She was startled, und glanced down quickly. (Her gloves, I per ceived, were ruined). "Look at your feet. Which is to be my future-our future-our futur?'., Bosamund: Which? Tho wrecked roso or the oth'r':" She picked up the cempleto rose and handed it to me. I kissed it. and then * * * Then a man came up and said that we would do well to hurry into the supper room if we wauted a bite of auything. -Black and White. Exteruiluat'n; thc Alligator.". "Next to the disappearance of the buffalo for remarkably rapid exterm ination comes tho killing of the alli gators," said A. L. Stepaens, of Jack sonville, I'la., at the Eobitt. "Thero are a good many of the sanriaus left'in a very few localiti.-s, but they are be coming scarcer every day, and in ten year.", possibly in half that time,there will uot bo a wild alligator l&?t i? tho United States, except iu impassable swamps liko tho EvergiadesT* Ten years ago every stream in Florida and many of tho.se in Lon : si an i were tilled with the reptiles, amt a common rec reation for tourists was shooting al ligators. Now tho St. Johns Bivcr, that formerly teemed with them, has not an alligator in it, unless he has happened to come from ono of the creeks. I have not heard of an alli gator having been seen in Louisiana during the past three years, and it is vpry rare that the tourist through Florida obtains a glimpse of a saurian. They are still being industriously hunted, their hides being valuable, and it cannot take a great while for them to be entirely exterminated." Washington Star.

Of all the stones for fair women the opal is, perhaps, the most beautiful. For a generation at least superstition declared it to be unlucky, but nowa days such beliefs are little regarded, and this lovely and lustrous gem, with its milky whiteness and flashes of colored fire, takes its due rank. MICHIGAN'S AMBITIOUS WOMEN. In Michigan, two towns, Decatui and Marcellus, seem to be under fem inine control. In tho former town, with a population of 1500, all the town officers are said to be women. The leading phjsician of tho town is a woman ; ono of tho most popular pas tors is a woman. Two women conduct tba principal restaurant. The pro prietor of the largest dry goods store is a woman ; ono of tho best shoemak ers is a woman, and there are women painters, harnessmaiiers, florists and brokers. Tho postmaster of the town is aUo a woman. Tbo women have shat up the saloons of the town. REASON FOK ABANDONING CORSET?. Science has found still another rea ;on why women sbould abandon cor sets. It affects, however, only those of the fair sex who thirst ior the higher education. At n certain yonug women's college it wa3 noticed that tho delicate electrical instruments un derwent sudden and extraordinary chauges. Every onco in a while, when a girl came r.p to explain what 6be had learned about volts, ohm?, aud tho like, galvanometers would gyrate wildly and the needles in the various dials would swerve in n most unaccountable manner. Finally tbe profe sor discovered where the tronblo lay. It was tho steel in tho gir.'s corsets, and the faculty there upon passed a law debarring.all cor seted girls from tho electrical deport ment. At first the giris tried to evade the rule by the utterance of mild torradiddles. 13ut the inexora ble processor circumvented them by making the class, as it entered, pass in single file beside a delicate galvano meter. Th?, instructor stood beside it in apparent unconcern, bat the in strument "spotted" every* steel-cor seted girl with unerring ?kill. Ono lecture under the conditions* was enough, and tho girls have all gone in for hygienic waists or djress reform, Argonaut. CYCLING FOR WOMEN. In an article in thc Nineteenth Cou* tny entitled "A Medical View o' Cy cling for Ladies," the author, Dr. W. H. Fenton, indorses tho exercise, as serting that it has done more to im prove the health of women than almost anything that has ever been invested. "Let it ot once bo said, an organi cally sound woman can 'cyclo with os much impunity as a mon. Thank heaven, we know now that this is not one more of the sexual problems of tho day. Sex has nothing to do with it, bevond the adaptation of machino to dress and dre?s to the mochiue. Wo men are capable of gr?a1; physical im provement where thy opportunity, ex ists.

"rnappropriate dross boa u-cerioia- ? number of chills to occount for. When fair practice has been made, and the 'hot stage,' so to speak, is over, the feet, ankles, neck and arms get very cold when working up against wind. Gaiters or spats, high collars aud close-fitting sleeves meet this diffi culty. Summer or winter, it is far safer to '.rear warm, absorbent under clothing and avoid cotton. "The diseases of women take a front placo in our social life; but, if looked into, ninety per cent, of thom ore functional ailments, begotten of enui and lack of opportunity of romo means of working off their snperflons muscular, nervous and organic en ergy. The effect of cycling within the physical capacity of a woman acts like a charm for gout, rheumatism and indigestion. Sleeplessness, Eo-culled 'nerves' and all those petty miseries for which the liver is so often modo the scapegoat, disappear iu the most extraordinary way with tho fresh air inhaled, and with the tissue destruc tion and reconstruction effectel by exercise and exhilaration. .The large abdominal muscles do little iu riding down hill or on level ground, but in hill climbing groat strain is thrown upon them. There are many reasons why women should not overtax this group. Already thousands of women qualifying for general invalidism have been rescued by cycling. Womcu aro very subject to varicose veins in the logs. Cycling often rids them of this trouble. A girl who has to stand for hours anti hours serving behind a counter gete relief untold from an evening spiu on her 'bike.' Her circulation has been improved, and tho o'hes and poins which would htwe eb ort ly made on old woman of her have gone and a sense of exhilaration and relief has taken their place." FASHION NOTES. The belt slightly pointed front fl" ! back gives a very much better figu-c than tbeperfcct'y round one. There was o chic little cap, beretto shaped, made of tho plaid goods, with n twist of brown velvet and a quill, that goes with a golf costume. It must be more comfortable than the regulation oipine, that looks so per fectly absurd when tilted back, irom thc forehead. The most popular bathing costume this season is made of black or whito serge or mohair, with full skirt and knickerbockers, a fitted belt round waist with a deeply pointed yoke, fall sleeves that barely reach tho elbows, black stockings, and an oilskin cop 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, caught up on one side with a big rosette and three nodding black plumes. On thc other side is o knot of lilies and o big bunch of the same rest upon the hair, underneath the brim, e.t tho back, lust in front aro two large crneke.l pink roses that look os :if they had fallen into place.

The Wonderful Bell-Shaped Mountain. When the Alaska steamers are get ting toward Sitka they go through i passageway known ns Finlanson's Canul, and if they happen to paso o certain point in the daytime a mosl unusual-looking mountain can be seen, lt has hceu named tho "Bell-shaped Mountain," and a more 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 tho centre of tho channel, aud when tho steamer is going northward i cetus to block further progress. For several miles before the 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 eeem to join tho lower portion of thc bell-shaped mountains and form ah impassable barrier across the road way. As the steamer i? beading -directly for the mountain it shows to the best advantage. Hising abruptly from thc mirror like surface of the water, it refir3 its head about 1000 feet toward the sky and reveals the most perfect symmetry in its outlines. Tho sides slope inward, nul on tho top thero is a little knoll, tho whole combination forming a perfect bell. It the mountain is seen in thc early morning, when tho steamer is about five miles away, it will appear sil houetted against tho sky. The edges look clean and sharp cut, and it is hard to believe that it is not tho work of bnruan bands. It really looks liko a monster boll placed in the channel, Tho sides nf this mountain are cov ered with a thick ?rowth of pine trees, aud as tho steamer draws nearer it loses some of its peculiar appearance. The vessel keeps head on ns if to run it down, but when quite close makes a sharp tufa to port and passes through a channel so narrow that it is possible fo thrown stono on tho mountain from tho deck. The mountain is much longer than wide, and does not look tho least like a boll as soon as tho 3teamer has passed EO Ihit it can be ?een over the steru.-San Francisco Sun. .Marvels to thc Satires. Dr. Gregory, in exploring (ho lofty rac.ges of Mount Kenya in Africa, was accompanied by native followers from the coast, to whom the frost and snow met with at groat 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 be witched. They said it was white, and would not shake; the adventurous Fundi had even hit it with n stick, which would not go iu. They begged me to look at it, and I told them to bring it to rae. They declined, how CVt r, to touch it, and implored me to go to it. The water, of course, ha 1 frozen solid. I handled tho ice and told tho men they wero silly to be afraid of. it, for this change always cacae over watar on tho tops ol high mountains. I put ono of the pjyi on Ihc fire, and predicted it would soon turn again into water. Tho men sat around and anxiously watched it; when it had melted they joyfully told me that tho demou was expelled, and I told them they could now use thc waler; but ns soon as my back was turned they poured it away, and re rilled their pots from an adjoining brook."

Its motive power is neither steam nor electricity nor compressed air, but hot water under enormous pressure. This in stored iu supply bollera .iud 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, aud thc cars can be qperatod on any track. All that is necessary are a number of boiler-houses along the road. Tho New York Central has had au experimental motor constructed, and a freight car has been fitted up as a boiler-house to supply it with power. In thc freight car aro two vertical boiler?, the latter being eight feet in height and six feet in diameter. In the raiddlo of tho large boiler is a great copper coil. Two iron pipe3 project from the side of the freight car and aro connected with socket couplings to pipes in the motor car alongside. The hot water is ruo through these pipes into the motor car's battery cylinders, and then the motor is ready to start. The motor car has been put on the main traok 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 of the New York Central, says tho new motor will bo used in the suburban servico of the Grand Central if it proves to be the success predicted for it. The scries of experiments started with it hive not yet been finished, and the motor is therefore still an object of study and uncertainty, but soma engineers believe that it will revolu tionize railroad locomotion. Aut unalta Hshiug Fol. A Chicago genius was recentlj granted a patent on on automatic fish ing rod. This great labor saving de vice consists of a rod and bolder cocked and poised upon a strong spring. In this position it moy be left upon tho shore by itself, after thc owner has baited tho hook and cast it into tho water. Whou the fish seizes thc bait, the lug it gives tho line opens the trigger, and the tish is jerked ashore and landed high and dry hy the uncoiling of the spring. This invontio? at once removes fish ing from the list of laborious occupa tions and makes it nothing but pas time. Largest Clock in Germany. The largest clock in Germauy is in the tower of St. Michael's Church, it Hr.tnburg. This church spire is one of the tallest landmarks in thc city, and can he eeen far out at sea. Tuc four diais of the clock each measure twenty-six feet in diameter. Th* minute hands aro twelve feet and thc hour hands ten feet iu length. Th? chimes eau be heard for two or Ihre, miles in every direction. Importance of Noonday Appetite. Persons who keep close watch upon themselves are of the opinion ?hat the hour of noon is the most critical period of life. At that timo the human frame undergoes serious changes. The stom ach has dispatched the morning meal and 6ends scouting parties out in search of another. The eyes and brain aro on the alert, and there, is a sart of all-gonencKH pervading the an atomy that sharpens the faculties and puts a now edgo ou the teeth. It is nature's dining time, and everything about tho healthy man or woman is at tuned to the domination of enjoyment of what is called a "good square meal." Thoso who pay heed to the prompting of nature at this divine hour have their reward iu good appe tite, good temper and excellent diges tion,which is conducive to ali the good that fk'sh is heir ip. But tlioBe who, following the imperious dictates of fashion, defer the hour of dining until all na'.ural longings are dead,and have to be resurrected by adventurous aids, lay a train of evils and discumfortB which sooner or later become the plague of tbeir lives. It is a well j knowe fact that the noon diners are ! healthier and stronger and have botter chances for long life than others. - ? Chicago Chronicle. Help \\ niiin:.
