THE REALM OF FASHION.
While no indication of the genuine

May Manton, there is a decided ten
dency toward producing the effect by
means of trimming carried from the

bodice to the skirt in one continuous
line. The costume shown in the illus
tration embodies the idea and is emi
nently well suited to such women as
aim to appear taller than their
actual measurement in fdet and inches.
The model is made from light-weight
wool material showing a simple plaid
design in shadesof bleuet and trimmed
with fancy black braid.
The bodice is simplicity itself and
-is made over a fitted lining, which
closes at the centre-front, while the
blouse proper is fitted with shoulder
and under-arm seams and doses in
visibly at the left side. The material
is so cut as to allow the fulness to droop
over the belt, and the left-front is
slashed to form the two squares in
each of which an ornamental button
is placed. At the edge is a full frill
of ribbon, which matches the color of
TASTEFUL AND STYLISH WRAP.
the gown, but both neck and waist
band are of black velvet. The sleeves
are close-fitting, except for the slight
pnffs at the shoulders, which support
the epaulettes. The outer seams are
left open for a short distance above
the wrists, where bands of trimming
and frills of ribbon make a graceful fin
ish.
The skirt is five-gored. The left
side of the front laps over onto the
side gore and is cut and finished to
harmonize with the blouse. Both
front and sides are fitted smoothly
and without darts, the back being laid
in deep plaits to give the fan effect.
The entire costume is eminently stylish
and graceful, while the line from the
shoulder to the edge of the skirt car
ries the eye upward and gives the ef
fect of height. Plain materials and
those showing stripes in place of plaid
aan be trusted to still further enhance
the effect; but even cross lines can be
worn without the disastrous effect com
mon when women of little stature don
horizontal decorations and ignore
esthetic law.
To make this bodice for a lady in
the medium size will require two and
one-half yards of forty-four-inch ma
terial.
tallies' Cape Wrap.
However much jackets may take
precedence as wraps, writes May Man
ton, something that partakes of the
nature of a cape is always needed. The
tasteful and stylish wrap shown in the
•illustration exemplifies the latest style
and is sufficiently*snug-fitting to avoid
chill at the same time that it allows of
wearing an elaborate bodice without
danger of rumpling. The backs are
seamed down the centre and tight-fit
ting to the waist line, below which
they are laid in plaits. The loose
fronts are laid in double box-plaits,
one at each side of the closing, and
the ample sleeves, of hell shape, are
seamed to the backs and shoulders,
isat are so constructed as to become
part of the fronts, there being no seam
below the shoulder joint. Attached
to the waist at the back are black silk
ribbons, which pass around and tie at
the front. As illustrated, the material
is silk velvet, with handsome jet passe
menterie as trimming. The collar is
Medici style, but out in squares, which
not only increases the flare, but is
universally becoming as well. At the
throat is worn an ample bow of chiffon
lace, edged, and a toque of velvet and
feathers completes the costume. The
wrap is lined throughout with taffeta
silk and has an interlining of split
wool wadding, which renders it amply
warm without being in the least
clumsy. Cloth, with rough or smooth
faced seal plush, and all familiar cloak
ings are suitable.
To make this wrap for a lady in the
medium size will require two and one
fourth yards of fifty-four-inch material.
The Vogue of Fanes’ Waists.
So many efforts have been made to
crush the fancy waist out of existence
that no better proof of its popularity
could be desired than the fact that al
most every day sees the cropping out
of new ideas in this convenient affair,
which affords such a variety in dress
to the woman whose purse admits of
no extravagance. The bolero effects,
which have been so much worn, are
still seen, and are always pretty,
though the blouse iu its many variations
is fast taking the place of this dainty
conceit, that has helped use up so
many odds and ends of “left-overs”
and bargain remnants. Even the
blouse waist has been condemned by
dressmakers, yet it continues to flour
ish. In its infancy it was merely and
strictly used for neglige costumes, but
now is made into a costly and ornate
confection, and can no longer be
recommended for its economy. It ap
pears at all fashionable evening func
tions made of the most expensive tex
tiles, and boasts of trimmings that
would adorn a handsome evening
gown. This all goes as potent evidence
that they are still at the height of
favor by women of fashion. —Woman’s

Child’s Empire Jacket In Y’nle Blue.
Among all tlie styles shown for lit
tle girls’ outer garments there is no
one that is at once more serviceable
and generally becoming than the Em
pire coat. The model shown in the
illustration is made of smooth-finishod
cloth in the popular Yale blue, the
trimming being a combination of rib
bon frills in the same color and black
mohair braid. While the whole efteot
is stylish in the extreme the pattern is
simplicity itself, as the fitting is
effected by shoulder and under-arm
seams only. Two box-plaits are laid
at the centre-back from the neck to
; the edge of the skirt and the front
i shows one at each side of the closing,
which is effected in the centre-front
with large pearl buttons and button
holes. The sleeves are two-seamed
with the fulness arranged either in
gathers or plaits at the shoulders.
Over each falls a simple oblong epaul
ette trimmed with ribbon and braid,
and a deep, seamless turn-over collar
finishes the neck. The entire coat is
lined with tafl'eta showing a bright
hued plaid and glimpses of the gay
coloring are caught beneath the collar
and epaulettes.

A MOVING FORTRESS.
Claimed to be the Mont Destructive Agent
Ever Used iu Warfare.
The German Emperor is having a
new fighting machine constructed for
army use in the field which, it is
claimed, will be the most destructive
agent' ever used in warfare. It is
known as the battle-line destroyer,
and it has been chiefly designed by
lumpp, the great gunmaker, at w'hose
works at Essen it is now building.
Many features of it, however, have
been suggested by the Emperor him
self, who will personally take posses
sion of the first one constructed.
The battle-line destroyer will have
the outward form and size of a Pull
man car, with the difference that the
wheels are not visible, the walls of
the car reaching to the ground.
These walls will be of the very
strongest steel and fortified on all four
sides and on top by many steel prongs
sticking out like the bristles of a por
cupine. The walls will be pierced by
numerous portholes, that open and
shut automatically.
Behind these portholes will be ma
chine guns to throw shot and explo
sives. Tli6 crew of each car will con
sist of only twelve men. The car will
run on very broad wheels resting on
immensely strong springs. It will
lie on its own rails and will be able to
do so in any desired direction.
The destroyers are to remain under
the eye of the Commanding General
until the battle is well under way.
/r _ *
.lit* '
THE NEW FIGHTING MACHINE.
Then, when great masses of the enemy
are engaged, the car will be sent
against them.
Herr Krupp is said to have demon
strated to the Emperor that the battle
line destroyer will make cavalry at
tacks unnecessary. In fact, the soldiers
will only engage in skirmishing after
the destroyers have been introduced.
It has been a question whether the
cars will be able to withstand heavy
artillery fire. Krupp says they will,
the prongs warding off shot and the
machine being too heavy to be over
thrown.
Animals in Groups*
The ingenuity of the sportsman is,
perhaps, no better illustrated than by
the use he puts the English language
to in designating .particular groups of
animals. The following is a list of
the terms which have been applied to
the various classes.
A covey of partridges. A flock of geese.
A aide of pheasants. A bevy of quails.
A wisp of snips. A cast of hawks.
A flight of doves or A trip of dottreil.
swallows. A swarm of bees.
A muster of peacocks. A school of whales.
A siege of herons. A shoal of herrings,
A building of rooks. A herd of swine. •
A brood of grouse. A skulk of foxes.
A plump of wild fowl. A pack of wolves.
A stand of plovers. A drove of oxen.
A watch of nightin- A sounder of hogs.

On Attaining long life.
Some philosopher, after reading the
contradictory reports of various health
regimens followed by persons who had
attained great age, says: “Nothing
matters, except your being provided
in the first instance with a sound, con
stitution (which is never your own
doing), and perhaps using all things
in moderation, which is another con
stitutional quality. Most people would
say that cleanliness was likely to con
duce to longevity, hut there is on
record the case of a Mrs. Jdewson, who
died in the early part of the century,
at the reputed age of 106, and who
never washed herself, but merely
rubbed her face at intervals with lard,
believing the people addioted to soap
and water were apt to catch cold.”
Steel Harder Than Slone.
It is easier to crush the hardest
stone known than steel. Corundum
was chosen for the stone in a recent
experiment. A weight of six tons
smashed the corundum, but forty-two
tons were required to crush the steel.
With a loud explosion the steel flew
into powder, and sparks are said
have bored minute holes in the crush-'

TROT, PACE AND RUN.
Description of the Various Motions of the
Hors*' When Extended.
When in full motion the runner
strides with both front feet at the
same time, following ‘with the hind,
and leaving the ground first with the
front. In ether words it is a “fore
and-aft” action.
The pacer moves by lifting both feet
of the same side simultaneously, and
' " -. _
TROTTING, PACING AND RUNNING.
is known as a “side-wheeler.” It is a
natural gait.
In the trot, when going slow, there is
always one foot on the ground, a part
of the time two and a part of the time
three. When fast, there are two in
tervals in each stride when all of the
feet are off the ground, the horse leav
ing the ground from the hind feet in
succession, while in the run lie leaves
the ground from a fore foot. The
limbs of the trotter move in pairs, di
agonally, but not quite simultaueously,
even in the “square trot.” The trot
is not a natural gait.
The fastest marks at the three ways
of going, and the number of feet that
the champion runner, pacer and trot
ter covered in a minute, are as fol
lows:
Runner, Salvator, 1.351.; 1 minute,
3315 feet.
Pacer, Star Pointer, 1.59 J; 1 minute,
2GGO feet.
Trotter, Alix, 2.03 J; 1 minute, 2559
feet.
Unpaid Scavengers.
The crustaceans are among the im
portant scavengers of the sea and are
also valuable as food for fishes. The
collection of crabs, shrimps, and lob
sters forms large industries all over
the world, contributing directly to the
support of man. In Delaware the
horseshoe crab is used as guano, while
the collection of fossil crabs, as trilo
bites, is a peculiar industry. The
fresh-water crayfish produces a concre
tion used as an antacid, well known to
chemists. We owe many of the beau
ties of our summer fields to insects,
all of which have their special func
tions and use. Even the persecuted
flea may render man a service by keep
ing the drowsy watch dog awake,
while the mosquito in tropical coun
tries may aid in preventing the human
inhabitants from living a continual
siesta.
The flies are among the most valua
ble insect scavengers. The spiders
prey upon Hies, holding them in check.
The silk of the spider is used as a
cross line in astronomical instruments,
and that of a Bermuda species as sew
ing silk. Bridge makers have ob
tained valuable suggestions from these
silent workers, from whose web one of
the Kings of France is said to have
made a coat. Grasshoppers and lo
custs are enemies of civilized man, but
are eaten by the Indians, while in the
Malay country the dragon fly is con
sidered a delicacy.—Appletons’ Popu

AVliy Olcl Clocks Have 1111.
Not every one who looks at the dial
of a clock knows that the four I’s
which are in place of the usual IV. to
designate the number I are there be
cause of the obstinacy of Charles V.
of France. When Henry Vick carried
to the King the first accurate clock
the King said to him that the IV. was
wrong and should be changed to 1111.
Vick said: “You are wrong, your Maj
esty.” Whereat the King thundered
out: “I am never wrong. Take it
away and correct the mistake.” From
that time to this day the four I’s have
stood as the mark of the fourth hour.

A Bee-Line.
The eyes of bees are made to see
great distances. When absent from
their hive they go up in the air till
they see their home, and then fly to

tween two places is sometimes cjjled a

Smallest Book in the World.
The smallest book in the world is
not much larger than a man’s thumb
nail. It was made in Italy by a firm
of Padua publishers, the Salmin
Brothers. It is four-tenths of an inch
high and about a quarter of an inch
wide. The volume contains 208 pages,
each having nine lines and from nine
ty-five to 100 letters. The text is an
unpublished letter written by the fa-
mous inventor of the pendulum clock
to Mme. Christine, of Lorraine, in the
year 1615. The next smallest book is
issued by the same firm. It is an edi
tion of Dante’s “Divine Comedy,” be
ing a little more than an inch high, a
little less than an inch wide, with type
so small that it takes a microscope to
read the letters.
A Gold Leaf Temple*
Not in America, not even in the
Klondike, but in the far-off East, at
i llangoon, the capital of Burmah, is
I situated the famous golden pagoda of
a Buddist temple, the whole of the
j exterior of which is one mass of shim
mering gold. This generous coating
i of the metal is the result of years and
J years of offerings to Buddha, for de
j votees from all parts of the world
I come to Rangoon and bring packets of
; gold leaf, which they plaoe on the
pagoda. Daring the last century the
King of Burmah gave his (litoral)
weight in gold to the walls of the
pagoda, an offering worth £9OOO sterl

The Blood Travels 168 Miles a Day.
The mileage of the blood circulation
reveals some astounding facts in our
personal history. Thus it has been
calculated that, assuming the heart to
beat sixty-nine times a minute at or
dinary heart pressure, the blood goes
at the rate of 207 yards in the minute,
or seven miles per hour, 168 miles per
day and 61,320 miles per year. If a
man eighty-four years of age could
have one single blood corpuscle float
ing in his blood all his life, it would
have traveled in that same time 5,150,-
800 miles.

It is a very unusual thing for the

chickens as her own offspring.

A STRANGE BIRtX
The Stately Bustard Is Gradually Becom
ing Extinct!
The bustard has become extinct In
Great Britain and cannot be found in
America. It is true there is a so-called
bustard in British America, but it is
really the Canadian goose. Spain and
Africa are the chief strongholds of the
family, many well marked species be
ing found in these countries. India,
too, has at least three distinct species.
Australia possesses at least one large
species.
It was thought at one time that the
bustard was nearly allied to the os
trich, but that is a mistaken view.
He would seem to be more nearly re
lated to the cranes In one direction and
the plovers in another.
A male bustard measures from the
tip of its bill to the end of its tail four
feet or thereabouts, and its wings
have an expanse of eight feet or more
—double the length. If put on the
scales, it would weigh from twenty
two to thirty-two pounds, according
to age. The female bird is smaller.
There is nothing ridiculous about the
appearance of the bustard, although
when compared with other birds fre
quenting open places its legs are very
short. Indeed, it is quite a stately
creature, and when on the wing almost
as majestic as the eagle.
The bustard’s bill appears longer
than it really is on account of the
flatness of the head. The neck of the
male is thick, particularly in certain
seasons, and at such times he earries
his tail in an upright position, turning
it frequently forward, twisting his
head and neck along his back in a
most curious maimer. It Is then, too,
he drops his wings and erects their
shorter feathers. The appearance is
most strange—for tail, head and neck
are almost buried amid the upstanding
feathers, and the breast is protruded
oddly.
The bustard is of a pale gray on
the neck and white beneath, but the
back is beautifully barred with russet
and black, and a band of deep tawny
brown or claret color descends from
either shoulder over the breast. No
tice the tuft of long, white, bristly
plumes springing up upon each side
of the head. These are only seen in
the male bird. The bustard loves the
open country and feeds on almost any
plant growing naturally in the country.
In winter, when natural or wild plants
are scarce, he readily feeds on those
which are grown by man. He is by no
means a strict vegetarian, but adds to
his vegetable diet a fat worm or a liv
ing mouse, or anything that lives and
moves and is small enough.
Smallest Train in the World.
A “Tom Thumb” train, so-called be
cause it is the smallest iu the world, is
to be exhibited at the Transmissis3ippi
Exposition at Omaha. The engine
weighs 450 pounds. The driving
wheels are eight inches in diameter,
and yet the locomotive hauls six ob
servation cars, in each of which two
children can be comfortably seated.
The entire train, consisting of engine,
tender, four observation cars, one box
car, and a caboose, is but twenty-nine
feet in length. Six gallons of water in
the tender tank and five in the boiler
will furnish steam to propel it for two
hours. Coal is hauled and shoveled
oat of the tender in the orthodox man
ner. In fact, the little engine is com
plete in miniature in every detail.
