It affects, however, only those of the fair sex who thirst lor the higher education. At a certain young women’s college it was noticed that the delicate electrical instruments un derwent sudden and extraordinarr changes. Every once in a while, when a girl came up to explain what she had learned about volts, ohm?, and the like, galvanometers would gyrate wildly and the needles in the various dials would swerve in a most unaccountable manner. Finally the professor discovered where the trouble lay. It was the steel in the girl’s corsets, and the faculty there upon passed a law debarring all cor- feted girls from the electrical depart ment. At first the girls tried to evade the rule by the utterance of mild tarradiddles. But the inexora ble professor circumvented them by making the class, as it entered, pass in single file beside a delicate galvano meter. The instructor stood beside it in apparent unconcern, but the in strument “spotted” every steel-cor seted girl with unerring skill. One lecture under the conditions was enough, and the girls have all gone in for hygienic waists or dress reform.— Argonaut.

The grass cloths, linens, Russian crash and kitchen toweling are all very much the rage for morning gowns. The grass cloths are made elaborate enough to be worn at garden parties, and arc extremely pretty gowns. They also look best made up over silk ; that is, with the silk lining; but more than one has been turned out lately with the under petticoat of fine saUen. Those gowns are not cheap. The material itself does not cost much, but again it is the accessories wlpch make the expenses mount up. One gown of grass linen, sent home the other day from one of the leading oressmakers, had a tiny polka dot of heliotrope. The skirt, which was very full, had a ruche headed with quilled heliotrope satin ribbon. The waist, which was cut round, had a deep yoke collar of open work batiste, lined with white satin, from which, front and back, went three narrow strips of open work embroidery, also lined with tne white satin, which extended a distance below the belt, ^he bait, however, was passed over them and kept them down in place. The belt was of fancy Dresden ribbon of helio trope and white, and inside the high standing collar was a ruche of helio trope chiffon. The skirt was lined throughout with a transparent lawn, the exact shade of the grass cloth, and there was a dainty petticoat of helio trope silk made with many pinked ruf- ties. The Russian crash and kitchen tow eling are ns yet not used for any other pnrpo?e than the jackets and skirts. These can be had ready made, and the swell tailors are taming them out by the dozens. The tailor’s prices are about live times in excess of the prices asked in the shops, and for once it can truthfully be said that the difference is not worth paying. The little, short jacket with the wide, much gored skirt, is the only pattern. —Harper’s Bazar.'' - ■ CTCLING FOR WOMEN.

There are many reasons why women should not overtax this group. Already thousands of women qualifying for general invalidism have been rescued by cycling. Women are very subject to varicose veins in the legs. Cycling often rids them of this trouble. A girl who has to atand 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 aches and pains which would have shortly made an old woman of her have gone and a sense of exhilaration and relief has taken their place.’’ A QUEEN S BATH. Persons who pride themselves upon what they call their sturdy common sense affect to despise elaborate civili- ar ® l°Rg a ud movable so as to be got- rm Peep Sea Kish Known as th6 “Black Swallower.*’ TbeehiRsmodon is one of the rarest ereatices known to science. Only three pecimens of it have ever been seen, 0 far as naturalists have any reco*^ And of these none was taken alive. The chiasmodou is generally know: as the “black swallower.” It is not understood that he has any mis sion in earth except to swallow, and the o:ly reason he ever comes to die is that le does his work too well. This “blaoc swallower” is a deep sea fish, dwelling, when he is at home, in about 1500 fathoms of water. The only speciuens that have been obtained have sli been picked up in the North Atlantic, not fur from the Newfound land coast. They are built for their business. In color they are inky black, as the name indicates, save on the stomach. The bo ly is long and of almost uniform thickness. The taper of the tail is very abrupt. They are devoid of scales. The skin is per fectly smooth. A scaly coat would interfere with perfect elasticity, and that is the “black swallower’s” neces sarily strong point He must stretch or hia job is gone. Of course, this tish, swallowing the monsters that he does, must have a mouth constructed especially for the purpose. His head is subconic in shape, narrowing forward, and this egregious, all swallowing mouth is deeply cleft. It runs away back of his eyes and is filled with teeth, which ties under the expressive term of “starch.” None the less do such sac rifices to exacting graces flourish, and certainly not less than in countries nearer home among the Hovas of Madagascar, who were, even before their annexation, nothing if not Par isian. Starch is, however, at the court of Antananarivo no mere matter of form ; rather, if ono may say so, a form of matter, for it is the starch so indispensable in our laundries that, like Shakespeare’s divinity, doth hedge around the Queen Ranavalo. She, like Marie Antoinette, is accustomed to receivo state visitors in her morn ing tub, and qnite seeing the disad vantages of having her bath water, like her state policy, too clear, the starch is thrown into it to dissolve as a white veil aronnd the Queen. Among dig nitaries thus received by her was, ac cording to the Paris correspondent of the Times, a French Ambassador, M. Le Myre de Vilcrs, who, after a plen tiful use of diplomatic “soft soap,” rotund highly confident. An old HoR, however, more experienced in Madagascan etiquette, took a different view of the results of M. de Vilors* mission. “Oh, ha will not obtain anything,” he said, “there was too much starch.” Excessive starch would seem to make Queeus and collars alike “stack up.”—London Graphic. ten out of the way if need be.

Wo men arG^ca^aV.o of great physical im provement where the opportunity ex ists. Dress even now heavily handi caps them. How fatiguing and dan gerous were heavy petticoats and flowing skirts in cycling even a few vears ago the plucky pioneers alone can tell us. “Inappropriate dress has a certain number of chills to account 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 and close-fitting sleeves meet this diffi- sulty. Snmmer or winter, it is far safer to wear warm, absorbent under clothing and avoid cotton. “The diseases of women take a front place in our social life; but, if looked into, ninety per cent, of them are functional ailments, begotten of enni snd lack of opportunity of some means of working off their superfious muscular, nervous and organio en- srgy. The effect of cycling within the physical capacity of a woman acts tike a charm for goat, rheamatism and indigestion. Sleeplessness, so-called ‘nerves’ and all those petty miseries for which the liver is so often made the scapegoat, disappear in the most extraordinary way with the fresh air inhaled, and with the tissue destruc tion and reconstruction effected by exercise and exhilaration. FASHION NOTES. It is quite Uiiial to line a crash gown with silk. Butter-colored straw hati with black plumes are very stylish. ^Overskirts in long pointed effects are^among the leading features of autnmn fashion >. The cinnamon brown Alpina hat would seem to be in high favor for headgear with girls, and even women of mature years, who ride the wheel. While many of the new dress skirts show a strong tendency for trimming, the bodice is still the portion of the gown where decorations continue to flourish without limit. "A black and white model has a crown of white silk poppies and a ruche of black and white striped chiffon, form ing the brim. The trimming is a single black and white tip fastened in with an old paste and jet buckle. It is probable that veils will be worn all summer bv Flora McFlinsey,*who always has a method in her fashiona ble madness. Some of the new Bros- sels veiling material is beantifnl, and is sajd to give a soft, pleasing effect to the face". ~ Bamboo and teak wood enters into the furnishing and equipment of the modern country house beantifnl more extensively than ever before. Solid, upholstered furniture is almost un- khown. Everything, the edict is, must bo light and airy. There wa* 3 euic little cap, beretta* shaped, made of the plaid goods, with a_twist of brown velvet and a quill, that goes with a golf costume. It must bo more comfortable* than the regulation alpine, that looks so per fectly absurd when tilted back irom the forehead. The most popular bathing costume this season is made of black or white serge or mohair, with full skirt and knickerbookera, a fitted belt round waist with a deeply pointed yoke, fall sleeves that barely reach the elbows, black stockings, and an oilskin cap covered with black or Tartan snrah. 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, canght up ou one side with a big rosette and three nodding black plumes. On the other side is a knot of lilies and a big bunch of the same rest upon the hair, underneath the brim, at the back. Just in front are two large crashed pink roses that look as if they had fallen into place. Never was lace so profusely used or so varied in] design. From narrow guipure insertions to wide flonneings in cream, ecru and batter color is it to be seen on every article of fashion able dress. It is now made in grass cloth, to trim the grass cloth gowns and blouses that are to be in the acme of popnlarity in the hot days. It oan be had in insertions, edgings and pieoe lengths, and has a color beneath. This is not strictly lace, bat it goes in the same category. ing seized the tail of another fish he can never let go. He must go the whole figure, engorge hie victim or fail and trailed along open-moused uiftil be die” Wbfh dinner time comes and the chiasmodon is very hungry he selects a fish about twice his own length and of almost any bulk. He approaches his prey cautiously from behind and seizes him firmly in that giant mouth. After the first brief flight and struggle are over the real job of swallowing be gins. The jaws are nnhinged and steadily the swallower climbs over his victim. This is the time when the elastic skin is called into play. Up to this stage of the proceeding the nbias- modon has been a long, lean fish, bnt as the prey disappears inch by inch within those horrid jaws it is crowded down into the stomach, which distends to accommodate it. —• ~a^ The Red Mon and the Bicycle. • “The noble red man may yet be civi lised by means of bicycles,” said A. L. Bartlett, of Beatrice, Neb., at the Regent. “The Otoe tribe have steadily resisted all efforts to induce them to become citizens, and their numbers have dwindled until but few of them remain. In fact, there are few more [Indians in Nebraska now than in New [York and Indiana. A few days ago jone of the chiefs of the Otoe tribe vis- jited Beatrice and became much inter- ested in bicycles. The owner thought lit would be fun to let the old Indian learn to ride, and it was not lung be fore the chief had mastered the art. Then he must have a wheel of bis own, anil'not having a'ny money he traded fear ponies for one. He rode it to the reservation and next day half a dozen Indians came to town, bringing Bit 9 % (<£ bicvcles. ‘Kjdj aster.

V" ■V 7 Pistols and Pestles. The duelling pistol now occupies its proper place, in the museum of the collector of relics of barbarism. The pistol ought to have besido it tho pestle that turned out pills like bullets, to be shot like bullets at the target of tho liver. But the pestle is still in evidence, and will be, probably, until everybody has tested tho virtue of Ayer’s sugar coated pills. They treat the liver as a friend, not ns an enemy. Instead of driving it, they coax it. They are compounded on the theory that tho liver does its work thoroughly and faithfully under obstructing conditions, and if the obstructions are removed, the liver will do its daily duty.
