Among pretty lawn dresses are those ith pink or blue sprigs quite near to» | p tal ‘ pe | realized in the opposite tastes of peo- gether, so as to give sufficient color to the white ground, which has some thick white stripes in its thin sur- face. ‘The waist is made belted, with a white puff atthe neck and sleeves, and a belt of old-rose or navy blue rib- bon, and a wide sash of the same on the right side; this ribbon has heavy reps, with a flower pattern in mono- tone, and its long ends are cut out in two deep scallops instead of the sharp points lately used. The skirt is in wide kilt plaits, with a hem six in ches deep and three tucks an inch wide; this kilt is mounted on a white cam- bric foundation skirt. A short apron is made of a breadth of the lawn taken across the front and sides, and the back widths are in burnoose folds at the top. A charming dress of percale has three stripes, each a fourth of an inch wide, of plum-color, sage green, and cream white. The skirt has three wide flounces across its back breadths, with twenty small tucks in each flounce; the sides of the skirt are in lengthwise quarter-inch tucks, folded 80 that the reddish plum-colored stripe is always on top; down the middle of t the front are two rows of ecru em- broidered nainsook insertion, The round waist is tucked to forma yoke showing the plum stripe, and there is a@ belt of plum-colored uncut velvet ribbon, with loops of this ribbon fall- ing on the hips and tournure. A light bine percale dress, with red and orange stripes quite far apart and very nar- row, has five straight breadths in its skirt, hung over a foundation skirt of plain blue percale, which is finished with two pinked ruffles at the foot, that are placed there, not to be seen, but to support the outer skirt. This outer skirt has its fullness in the top of the front laid in tucks half its length, and is left plain below; these tucks each have the red stripes left conspicuous them. The back is made bouffant by four plaited points or wings of the material (th se in the middle being shortest) attxchod to the belt and falling over the tournure; two large bows of cactus red gros grain ribbon with corded edges are on the tournure. Still other skirts, with flonnces across the back and quarter- inch tucks down the sides, havo a long og apron front, with the fullness eld in plaits at the belt—not on the aides—and there are laddera or bridles of watered ribbon set acro-s the tucked side pieces. Swiss muslin with tiny embroidered specks all over it is prettily made up in this way, with rifle green, cactus red or plum-colored ribbons for the trimming.—Harper's Bazar. — we Syrup of Figs, Manufactured only bv the Cali- Fig Syrup Co., San Francis co, Cal., is nature’s Own True Lax ative.

Electric Motors in Operation. Many will be surprised by the state- ment that more than 3,500,000 pas- sengers are carried annually in this ® country on street cars moved by elec- 1} tric motors. In Montgomery, Ala, 4} electricity is used on eleven miles of Toad, and the cost is reported by the feneral manager to be only one-half the cost of horse-power. Roads on which electricity takes the place of horses are found in Baltimore, Los MH} Angeles, Port Huron, Detroit, Scran- ; ton, Appleton, Wis. and Denver. Bectric railways are either in course /of construction or under contract in twelve other cities, and in thirty-seven j Companies have been formed or other steps taken for the building of such roails, Upon none of the roads now in Operation in this country, fhowever, is fore supplied by storage batteries at- |} tached to the cars. In most cases ) power is communicated by an over- | head conductor. —Electric Review. | ; ——+- --Alligator hunting scems to be fine * Sport in Florida, A Jacksonville F aper remar “A party of alligator ey hunters returned last week from Lake §) Hancock with 162 hides and three ih}) pecks of teoth."* PRheumatism and Neuralgia Cured in i Two Days.

The French wiil eat frogs, snails and the diseased liver of geese, but draw the line at alliga- tors. Buckland declares the taste of the boa constrietor to be good, and much like veal. Quass, the fermented cabbage water of the Russians, is their popular tipple.

Ants are eaten by various nations. In Brazil they are served with a resinous sauce, and in Africa they are stewed with grease or butter. The Eist Indiins catch them in pits and carefully wash them in ha: dfuls like raisins in Siam a curry of ant eggs is a costly luxury’. The Cingalese eat the bees after robbing thei of their honey. Catterpillars and spiders are dainties to the African bushmen. After they have wound the silk from the co- coon the Chinese eat the chrysalis of the silkworm.

Shufeldt has recorded an interesting study of a case of the repair of the bill of a raven after it had been shot off. The ball had carried away the upper Dill just forward of the nostrils. The bone had grown again so as to cover the injury, and the horny covering, following suit, had encased the stump formed by the bone. The result of nature’s surgery in the case was that the injured part was lef: in | such condition that the danger of sub- sequent inflammation was avoided, while the farm of the resulting stump | was as useful a one as could possiby be expected to follow after a wound of such a character.—Boston Budget. -*Union silk,” a mixture of cotton and silk, has become popular on the Clyde, it is stated, for the manufacture | of a certain class of sails.

Who Can Not Trath. sl pps Called Ladies. j It is a strange thing. nevertheless it is true, that people who would not think of being rude toa friend or an acquaintance are very often the most discourteous ina public gathering of stranzers. More particularly is this true of a certain class of women, who appear to think s rangers have no claim whatever upon their courtesy. If they are in a crowd they jostle and push, no matter who it is that is in their way. until they get to where they wish to go. With them the weakest must goto the wall without any exe euse or apology. Where there isa crowd of any size some of these women are always found there. Even a litile child is. shoved out of their way as carelessly a3 a fold of their dresses, Some one may call their attention to the little one, thinking they did not notice it or surely they would not | crowd and jam it until it could scarce. ly breathe. They indignantly reply: “Why don’t its mother keep it at home; a crowd is no place for a child!’ They | never think of asking, has the child a mother? for if it has, to be sure it ought to be at home, for a crowd is no place for a child; yet, whether it has a mother or not, the child is there, and while it is alone, all women should be atsuch atime as its mother and see that itis protected. They are frequently found at the theater or other places of amusement, and here their politeness is of about the same stamp as in the crowd on the street. They are comfortably seated, taking a quiet survey of all around them, when an usher requests them ‘o rise so that a lady and gentleman mav get to the two seats beyond. Instead of rist g willingly with a pleas- ant smile or word, they rise slowly, turn up the seats, look in- dignantly at the intruders as though they had wilfully ad designedly bought thone seats to inconvenience them, bow stiffly, or do not notice when the gentleman apologizes for disturbing them, and reseat themselves with a look on their faces of resigned mar- tyrs. They certainly must be aware that the gentleman had no intention whatever of annoying them; he prob- ably had no idea, only in a general way, of just where his seats would be. He is perfectly guiltless of any thought of annoying them, yet their oehavior gives him an uncomfortable feeling, and if it does not spoil his en- joyment for the evening, it is some time before he is in as comfortable a state of mind as he was before meet- ing these women. They can be met almost any day, during some part of it, on the car. If ow the steam cars, they always want to occupy two seats at once, one to siton the other for bundles, though they may have but one or two of the latter, and very often none, and use the extra seat to hold their wrap or, perhaps, a small sachel. To be sure, if there are plenty of seats for the other passengers it does not mat- ter, but when the other seats are all occupied, it isn’t fair that any one should stand while bundles or wraps occupy a seat. Some one politely asks if the seat is engaged, and receives in reply a curt ‘‘No,’’ or in place of this only a quick jerk of the articles off the seat. It may be uncomfortable on a close, sultry day for them to be at all crowded, but it doesn’t make it a bit more comfortable to fuss over it, for there is every reason on a day such as this for them to keep cool. They enter a horse car and find the seats occupied, and a gentleman gen- erously gives them his seat. They sink into it with a haughty nod or without any acknowledgment whatever, witha look on their faces as though it wis only what he should do and they were entitled to it. A man has just as much right toa seat in acar, as long as he pays his fare, as a woman has, no more nor no less. There is no law to compel a man to give his seat to a woman but that which is recognized by all true gentlemen, the law of chivalry, and that the followers of this law are getting so rare is, in part, due to women such as these accepting aservice rendered them as a matter of ourse. Ifaseat is worth accepting it is certainly worth an “I thank you,” and women who refuse to acknowl- edge a courtesy such as this deserve to stand, even though the car be full of men all occupying seats. These women would be indignant should any one even hint that they were not ladies, yet by their own ac- tions they tend to give out this impres- sion. Atrue lady seldom forgets to acknowledge a courtesy in private, and never in public. Itis the ambi- tion of all women to be ladies, and to be acknowledged as such, but women who are discourteous in public can never lay claim to this title. — Boston Budget.
