SCENE AT ANNAPOLIS NAVAL ACADEMY. • •• -* ’ | „ r "" . i ENTRANCE —FACING CHESAPEAKE BAY—TO BANCROFT HALL, UNITED STATE NAVAL ACADEMY. A Unique Umbrella. Owing to the fact that the handle rod or stick of the ordinary umbrella is centrally disposed, a single person can. occupy only one-half of the space beneath the umbrella, with the re sult that his outer shoulder is usually exposed to the drip and rain. To remedy this defect, two inventors of Bridgewater, Va., have designed umbrella which when raised will have the handle located to one side of the centre, leaving the central portion of the sheltered space unobstructed. This umbrella when closed has sub- stantially the appearance of the or dinary article. The umbrella stick is provided with the usual runner, but the stretchers instead of being connected to the runner as in the or- A Unique Umbrella. dinary umbrella, are attached to a carrier which is connected to the run ner by means of a pair of links. Hence, when the umbrella is closed, *the ribs fold closely against the um brella handle, but when the umbrella is raised they are tilted with respect to the handle, as illustrated in the engraving.—Scientific American. r Don’t Expect Enough. Mcst people do not expect enough of themselves. They do not realize tiuat things they see other people do, and envy them the power of doing, they could do themselves if they only tried. So much of what seems to “come natural” to other people is only the result of long continued ef fort. We may not be able to do as well as they have done, but some measure of success in the same direc tion is within our power. Home Chat. Sprayer For Hose Nozzles. A simple attachment for hose noz zles has recently been invented, which will permit the operator to control the form of stream issuing from the nozzle. Thus the water may be per mitted to flow either in a solid stream or it may be sprayed to any esnemt desired. The device consists of a pan-shaped blade, which is hinged Sprayer For Hose Nozzle. to the nozzle in such manner that it may be rocked toward or from the stream. The blade is formed with a handle which by means of a leaf spring bearing on the nozzle is nor mally pressed upward to keep the blade or deflector clear of the stream. When the operator so desires he may press on the handle, bringing the de flector into engagement with the stream, and thereby spraying the water. —Scientific American. Not One to Deride.

One of the most popular forms of entertaining guests in the South is to hold a barbecue, as it is called. The host generally employs a skilled white or colored barbecue cook. A trench is dug in the ground and the bottom filled in with kindling and hard wood which will burn to coal. After Roasting Carcasses Who:a For Bar* becue. the fire has been made, carcasses of sheep, fowls, sometimes steers are fastened above the bed of coals and thus roasted to be cut up and served on long tables with vegetables and other viands. One of the features of the barbecue is the roasting of the carcasses in the presence *of the guests. This picture' shows one of the roasting trenches with cattle be ing cooked over the live coals. Reversible Type Cabinet. A sectional type cabinet of interest to printers has been devised and pat ented by a Wisconsin man. With the ordinary printers’ type cabinet but one man can work at the cabinet at the same time. Three or four com positors may be waiting to use the cabinet to get at some of the forty or jr-T t— fir- Jpj7 LI LIU fifty different cases of type. These objections are overcome in the im proved cabinet shown here. Instead of all the type cases opening on one side, they are arranged to open on all four sides of the cabinet. —Wash- ington Star. + Crusade Against Cocaine. Baltimore, following the lead of New York State, has started a vigor ous crusade against the cocaine evil, which is said to be particularly prev alent among the negroes of that city. An ordinance prohibiting the easy sale of the drug and making persons found with it in their possession sub ject to arrest has passed the City Council and Mayor Mahool has prom ised to sign it. | 1 (it •■37' // if. ft Not the Heavenly Maid. “And have you music at the church?” 7 asked the rural squire. “Wall, no.” said lie; “can’t say we hcv; Jest singin’ by the choir.” —The News.

Philadelphia Bulletin. OMKffE^STHtfWOMEa New York City.—Guimpes make Guch an important feature of present dress that no girl can have too many. Here are two attractive styles which can be utilized both for lingerie ma terials and for the wash silks that are so much used. The tucked guimpe is a very pretty but simple one that is trimmed with embroidery between the groups of tucks. The plain one can be made with a fancy yoke on either a round or square outline, and can be made as an entire guimpe or cut off and finished to form a chemi sette, as liked. Both allow a choice of three sleeves, the long ones with deep cuffs, the long ones with straight bands, and those of elbow length. The guimpes are made with front and backs, and are drawn up at the waist line by means of tapes inserted in a casing. The straight collar fin ishes the neck, and whatever the length of the sleeves they are gath ered at their upper and lower edges and- joined either to bands or cuffs. The quantity of material required for the medium size (twelve years) is, for either guimpe, two and three eighth yards twenty-four or thirty two, or one and five-eighth yards for ty-four inches wide, with five and three-eighth yards of insertion, to make the tucked guimpe as illus trated. Popular Waists. The white blouse, with rose colored dots embroidered throughout, is one of the popular waists, and equally well liked is the waist in white, with bands of colored embroidery reaching from the collar to the belt. Many of the new waists show no yoke at all, nor is the genuine feature prominent. The Sheath Skirt. As for the exaggerated sheath skirt, it is entirely out of place on the street, and those who persist in wear ing it will entail se'rious consequences on themselves from public opinion, active in its consideration of the style. The New Top Coat. Among the smart models shown for a service coat is one of thin tweed in a stripe of gendarme blue. Girl’s Bertha Collars. Bertha collars suit the girls so per fectly that they are always worn, and here are some charming models that are novel, yet simple, and which can be utilized over any dress. No. 1 is made in handkerchief style with points at the shoulder, front and back, and can be finished with straight banding, as illustrated, or be scalloped on its edges or inset with lace or embroidery, as liked. No. 2 can be cut on the pointed line, as il lustrated, and made with medallions and lace and with French knots worked in the points to make an ex tremely elaborate collar, or can be cut round and finished simply by banding and frills, as shown in the smaller view. No. 3 is cut on a square outline, and is especially well adapted to banding and medallions. In this case these last are hand embroidered, while lace banding outlines them and frills of lawn finish the edges. Lace medallions or ready made ones of em broidery can be used, however, and embroidered banding can be made to take the place of lace, or the ma terial can be outlined by the banding and the squares filled with some little bit of embroidery, if better liked. Each bertha is made in one piece. No. 1 is quite plain, but Nos. 2 and 3 are perforated for the medallions and for the banding, which make such ef fective trimming. The quantity of material required for the fourteen year size is three- fourth yard thirty-two inches wide for any bertha; three and one-fourth yards of banding for No. 1; nine me dallions, five yards of insertion, three and three-fourth yards of edging, or three yards ot edging and three and one-half yards of insertion for No. 2; ten medallions, four and one-half yards of insertion, three and one fourth yards of edging for No. 3. Gray is Worn. Gray is much worn, though net a heralded color. The paler shades, such as pearl and silver, are the fav ored tones, and, as a rule, gowns of this dainty color show a relief by way of contrasting trimming. Arrival of Cretonne Ribbon.
