rA CURIOUS BOAT. friTeli on Land! Water. Ice. and Snow, bat Doesn't Fly. A curious boat, which goes equally well on land, water, ice. and snow, has been designed by Mr. Kasinus Anderson. The machine was originally invented for Arctic exploration, as a substitute for boats and sledges, but can also be built as a lifeboat and a yacht and ocean steamer. This boat, it is k said, cannot sink or capsize under any Condition, and it can be propelled by the hands or feet. As a lifeboat It would be very practical, as it could be launched from dry land, and also run up on any beach without injury. As a . : ~ T ' | A HAITDY BOAT. illeboftt on board ship it can be ran off [the d<ck with the smallest possible [trouble. The paddles can. of course, be taken off and easily retired. A Swiss farmer in Ohio, becoming disgusted at his failure to succeed in this country said to a friend that if he had $100 he would return to the Alps ami never come back. The friend, who coveted the other's wife, said that he would furnish the money if the wife was left in exchange. But the first was a shrewd man and he insisted that the friend include the whole family of children. This was agreed to and the Ideal was made there and then. The party of the second part has made the bargain with his eyes open, and not m as the illiterate man did who wanted to trade a cow for a half section of t Texas land.

The material is applied to the front at yoke depth, and :he full front is gathered at upper and lower edges and adjusted over the lining to fall in soft blouse effect over the narrow belt. The side-fronts of novslty show fulness at the upper and lower edges, and are also slightly blouse. The back fits smoothly across the shoulders with a scant fulness at the waist at each side of the centreback where the closing is effected with button and buttonholes. A wide sailor collar falls across the back, and is carried forward to the top of the yoke front. Revers that are widest at the top and gradually taper toward the lower edge finish the front1 edges of the side-fronts, forming an effective decoration; a plain standing band finishes the neck. The sleeves are two-seamed, and fit the arm comfortably close from the wrist to above the elbow, where they are met by 6hort puffs of the material. The skirt has a front gore, wide side gores and a straight back that is closely gathered at the upper edge and sewed to the belt, the placket finishing in the centre-back. All seasonable fabrics are suitable, plaid, 'striped, figured and novelty goods combining prettily with plain materials, such as cashmere, challies, etc., or with silk.

' Smooth under-arm gores separate the fronts fr5in the backs, which are smooth at the top, where they are cut, in low, rounding outlines, showing a gathered yoke of surah above.

The free edges may be trimmed with either gibbon, braid or passementerie. To make this dress for a miss of ' fourteen years will require two and one-quarter yards of forty-four-inch material. Fashions in Belt*. White leather belts with oxidized silver clasps are very popular with light summer frocks. Many of them are extravagant affairs, having, besides the clasps, handsome silver ornaments applied at intervals. The latest belts mentioned from abroad are said to show tortoises of turquoise; these are formed with links of oxidized silver. Very narrow belts of light-hued crocodile leathers are adorned with studs of colored enamels, but ribbons are used in preference to anything else by many, for they fit so much more snugly than leather and tie so gracefully. For the moment check ribbons are being extensively patronized. A Four-Piece Skirt. Figured dimity, showing violet and white, was the material chosen for this ill?/ stylish .iki :i, that is admirably adapted for present wear, as the back breadth is straight, making it easy to launder when fashioned in wash fabrics. The sides displt.y a slight lipple effect on each side of the gored front, the straight back breadth falling in graceful folds from gathers at the top. The placket finishes in centre-back and the top is completed with a narrow belt. The skirt is of moderate width, measuring only about four yards at the foot. The mode is adapted to all sea| sonable dross goods, including duck, pique, gra*s linen, maaras, cnevioi, lawn, gingham, and other cotton sum POUB-PIECE SKIRT. mer suitings. It can be decorated, as illustrated, with narrow lace-edged ! ruffles or bands of ribbon. To make this skirt for a woman of medium size will require four and onehalf yards of forty-four-inch material. Lace Overdresses. The fashion of wearing lace overdress or lace applique for trimmings is universal across the water. One extremely fetching gown is of black net with an applique ofcream lace all over it; it is mounted on white glace silk to ! bring out a delightful sheen. A linen ! I bodice has a bolero of cream lace. Using Loan Words. Doctors who are In the habit of askig kxng words when vIsKtog people may take a Hint #om the following little story: An old worn an whose husband was not very well sent for the doctor, who came and saw the old wife: "I will send him some medicine which must be taken In a recumbent position." After he had gone the old woman sat down gTeatly puzzled. "A recumbent position?a recumbent position!" she kept repeating. "I haven't got one." At last she thought, "I will go and see If Norse Lown has got one to lend me" Accordingly she went and said to the nurse: "Have you a recumbent position to lend me to take some medicine In?' The nurse, who was eaualLv as Lr norant as the old woman, replied: "I had one, but to tell you the truth, I have lost it" One on the Doctor. - ? A well-known known physician tells a good story on himself. He had just arrived in town, and not feeling well had left his grip at the hotel and started out for a stroll atout nine o'clock, wearing his travelling cap, and with his coat well buttoned up. In the shadow stood a ragged man. "Look here, mister," said he, "I haven't had anything to eat to -night. Can't you help a fellow?" "Strange," replied the doctor, clapping him on the shoulder. 'I haven't had a morsel either, and do not know where I will get my supper." Tihe tone of his voice had such a pathetic ring that the ragged man was touched. "Cheer up, old fellow," he said; "stick to me and I will attend to it that you get a good square meal." The physician waa now touched, and Invited bis new-made friend Into the best restaurant in town where the two sat down together and ate a fine wooer. Fighting Fires in Winter Weather. To stand upon the peak of a ladder at perhaps the third or fourth story of a building, directing the stream of water at the blaring interior, while the thermometer is at about Its lowest point, in not a comfortable task. Perhaps another stream Is playing over your head, and you stand in an Icy spray. Icicles hang from every point of your flre-hat, and the rubber coat Is frozen tc your back; and the water that is falling about you freezes as faM as it falls. Every movement upon the ladder is fraught with danger; for it Is so encrusted with ice that It is almost impossible to get a solid foothold, and a misstep would hurl you to the ground, forty feet below.?St. Nicholas.
