no eats and no rats on Tory Island.
Nor arc there any iioihem.m or pawn¬

According to tradition, the island was
nnee inhabited by a race of giants.
One of the giants creeled it tower on

of undressed bowlders, with walls foil!'

Tourists seldom visit Tory Island ow¬

natives. The latter resent intrusion
from the outside word. A favorite
tiick of tin* fishermen is to run along¬
side a steamer «*r sailing vessel and
ask tin* lookout to heave them a rope.
Wh n a rope is thrown tin* fisherman
hauls in as much of it as lie can and
thru (tits tin* line, itt this way the
fishing Heel is kept supplied with rope
at a minimum cost. The Tory Island¬
ers ar*> evidently a healthy race, for
there is no doctor on the island.

The adoption oi* search-lights in the line of blockhouses which Lord Kitch
cr is gradually establishing as a means of offensive and defensive warfare
against the Boers is found to be of considerable advantage. Night surprises
are jfievented, and the enemy’s movements can be learned with some cer¬
tainly. The upper light is used for long distances; the lower for the imme¬
diate vicinity.—From Harper's Weekly.

i’ARTY OF GERMAN STUDENTS TAKING PART IN A BOUT WITH
SABRES.
Proficiency with the sword is often desired by the German youth studying
in one of the big universities far more than knowledge of tlie sciences or
arts, it is with the sabre that the German student defends himself, instead
of with his lists, and the student whose face bears the scars of many duels
is held iu higher estimation by liis fellows that one whose chief claim to die
tmotion is his familiarity with tbe classics. For pleasure the students,
engage frequently in bouts together, as shown iu the above photograph.
SWORD AND PISTOL.
Two Weapons Combined For tlie Use of
Officer*.
While the place for an officer is at.
the bead of his column when going into
battle, he is severely handicapped in
tiring at the enemy with his revolver
by the necessity of carrying his sword

in one hand, and it has occurred to Do
rneuic A. RLcco iiuu a weapon like the
one illustrated in tbe picture might ha
useful at a critical moment. The gun
in this combination is so mounted that
while the officer is waving his sword
to his men he can at the same time
busy himself firing at the enemy in
front. picking off men ready to tire at
either himself or some of his men. The
entire actuating mechanism for oper¬
ating tlie revolver is located in the
handle of the sword, and does not dif¬
fer materially from that of the ordi¬
nary repeating firearm. The barrel and
cylinder arc pivoted cn the usual
handgunrd of the sword, and can lie
tilted downward to expjse the interior
for ejecting the eiuptj shells and re
loading. The inventor makes provis
ion for attaching this weapon to the
sabre, rapier and cutlass as well, and
states that any cue of these blades can
be used iu conjunction with the gun.

forming a narrow vest, are strips of

is finished with a regulation stock of

full at the shoulders, and are laid in
horizontal tucks above the cuffs that
fall free and form puffs at the outer
portiou. Tlie cuffs are deep and point¬

To cut this waist in the medium size
three and three-quarters yards of ma

Misses* Blouse Eton Jacket.
Blouse Etons are always becoming
to young girls, and are in the height of
both present and coming styles. The
excellent May Manton model illus
'rated in the large drawing shows
the latest designs executed in tau
colored broadcloth, but all suiting ma
terials are equally appropriate, and
clotla cheviot and taffeta are suitable
for separate wraps. In tlie case of tlie
original tlie collar and belt arc of vel¬
vet and all edges are stitched with self
colored cortlcelli silk, but the collar
can be of tho material if preferred.
The blou>c i smooth aiul without ful
ncs.s at the back, bur is arranged in
gathers at the front, where it blouses
slightly over the belt. Joining tlie
trouts and backs are uuder-arm gores
that insure a satisfactory tit. The
fronts arc faced and turned back to
form lapels and a regulation collar
that meets them and rolls over with
them is attached to the neck. The
sleeves arc in coat stylo, slightly bcll
shaped, and left open for a short dis
tance at the outer seams. When dc
sired the circular basque extension can
be joined to the lower edge, the seam
L-,ing concealed by the belt.
To out this blouse for a girl of four*
teen years of ago four yards of mate*
rial twenty-one inches wide, one and a
half yards forty-four inches wide, or
one and three-eighth yards fifty inches
wide will lie required.
Xoii It’* 1 I\« Jtccl:.
Last summer nearly every girl who
boasted .arms anything short of verit¬
able horrors wore her sleeves at half
mast. This year, if she accepts the
most swagger advance models from
Paris, she will expose her neck as well.
The new afternoon gowns of batiste,
and other lace-trimmed fabrics, will
reach just to the base of tbe neck.
This leaves the neck delightfully free,
making those of us who have always
enjoyed this top finish to house dresses
wonder how we cvoi consented
to swathe or.r unoffending throats cut
cf-doors.
Culian CoriTs.
dome of these body hats have a color
woven in, and some have a email cord,
called Cuban for some reason or other.
A pearly braid, sheer and exquisite,
forms the greater part of these softly
pretty hate. For children the wire
frame is unnecessary, also for young
girls, in which case the droopy affair
is in reality a shepherdess shape.
Hody Itats.
Soft r.ncl willowy in the extreme are
the new body bats. Why “body bats'’
there’s no learning; perhaps because
they’ve no body at all. So pliable are
they that they may be turned inside
out without exertion or damage, and
they have to be strengthened by a wire
frame in order to be at all manageable.
Knickerbocker Suit in Norfolk Style.
Little boys are always charming
dressed in knickerbockers and rather
long Russian coats. Their own manly
ambition is gratified by the trousers
and the absolutely short legs are bid¬
den from view. This pretty little suit
is shown in cream serge banded with
cream braid and worn with a white
leathci belt, but blue and brown serge,
velvet, velveteen, corduroy, cloth and
all the heavier washable fabrics,pique,
duck linen and the like are equally
propriate.
The knickerbockers fit smoothly
about the waist and hips, but arc full
at the knees below which they are
drawn up by means of elastic inserted
in the hems. The coat is laid in two
box pleats at the back, two at the front
and laps over to close in double-breast¬
ed style, with handsome pearl buttons
and buttonholes. At the open neck is
a big square sailor collar, and tilling
the opening is tlie smooth shield.. The
sleeves are in regulation style, the ful¬
ness at the wrists laid in stitched
tucks.
To make this suit for a boy of throe
years of age foui and three-eighth
yards of material twenty-seven inches
