However, a coat in pale cream cloth may be lined and trimmed with black satin, for Paris models set the stamp of possibility on such freaks of fancy. But other French coats will show the garment and lining in one color, though a flowered figure in the lining may deepen the tone. j rected to smaller creatures, and it is MAKING OVER WINTER FROCKS Bslts of All Kinda Are Used to l Give Requisite Touch to Bodice. Wbat will we do with oar last win­ ter's frocks? There is hardly an evening or after­ noon gown made last winter thst haa not a short waist. Of coarse, if we have plenty of material it la easy enough to fashion a new bodice. If we have not, the problem is to find some way of lengthening it without making the gown look patchy. Deep belts are being used for this purpose, made peasant bodice fashion. Fortunately the sash is in the' hey­ day of its popularity, and it covers a multitude of difficulties. On evening frocks, a wide girdle, studded with semi-precious stones, or. jet, or tiny sparkling beads may often be used, not only to lengthen the waist line, but to give character and variety to the frock. Black sashes with draped ends are seen on all sorts and descriptions of smart gowns. On one the girdle was made entirely of supple Jet with ends hanging down in front, on which were long tassels. X Mohair Will Wash. A* mohair skirt is a mighty prac­ tical Investment for the reason that it can be laundered with perfect success and does not have to be sent to a professional cleaner's when it needs to be cleaned. The home .laundress who undertakes to wash a mohair skirt must remember two things. One, that white soap of good quality must bu used with a little borax which is not only cleansing, but gives a certain stiffness to woolen materials. Another thing to remember is that the ubc of a very hot iron is fatal to woolen goods. It may not apparently scorch it, but it will rot the threads so th*t the goods will crack on the first or second wearing. considered very unlucky to have a small animal run in front of an en­ gine while it is going, unless the en­ gineer succeeds in running it down and killing it, when the hoodoo de­ parts One night an engineer on a western road left a division point with a spe­ cial train running on time to a station up the line, there to meet and wait for a through passenger train. As he pulled out of the yard and struck the open track in the country he observed a small animal running and leaping along the track ahead of the engine. It ran and leaped like a squirrel, and it stuck to the track with such persistency that a cold chill coursed down the engineer's back. It ! meant disaster if he could not chase j it from the track, and he let out ! spasmodic blaBts of the whistle in the i hope that it would be frightened and j leap off. • But it stuck to the track, leaping | from tie to tie, keeping the same dls- I tance from the engine, never letting | up its stride. The engineer, now thor- 1 oughly exasperated and somewhat | frightened, let out a notch or two in ; the throttle, and the engine increased its speed. But so did the "squirrel." Soon the engine was making 50 miles an hour, and in front of it, in the path of light made by the head- TWO IDEAS OF REAL VALUE ! light, the "squirrel" bounded, neTer losing or gaining an inch. Faster and faster went the engine, in its endeavor to catch up with and run down the bothersome little ani­ mal, which Increased its speed ahead of the engine with remarkable ac­ curacy and with a tirelessnesa that was remarkable. The engineer was so intent in try­ ing to run down the little animal that he was not paying much attention to where he was, and thundered past the station at which he was to stop at the rate of 60 miles an hour. He looked back and saw the station agent wa­ ving his red lantern like mad. But he had becomes so obsessed with the idea of running down his "squirrel" that he paid no attention to it. When he looked at the track again the "squirrel" was gone. It had leaped the track or had tired and gone un­ der the wheels. In front of him up the track the engineer heard the en­ gine of the approaching passenger train screech a warning from its whis­ tle, and he shut off the steam and ap­ plied the brakes and sand. He had just time to run back to the siding at the station when the passen­ ger thundered past. When he climbed down from the cab to look at the front of the engine to learn what had happened to the little animal that had outrun him he chanced to glance up at the headlight On it was the wet shape of a maple leaf that had blown against the glass as he left town, and it was the sha­ dow of it that had danced along the track ahead of him. The suction of wind as the engine flew past the sta­ tion had dislodged it, and probably prevented a terrible disaster by di­ recting the engineer's attention from the chase.---Hallway and Locomotive Engineering. My son made four very useful book- racks from one soap box 16 inches deep, says a writer in the Boston Globe. He detached the bottom and cover, sawed the frame that was left according to the diagram (1). There were then four frames like this (2). He whittled the ends into shape (2), then sandpapered the surfaces so they were free of ujarks and very smooth. He next cut and flattened out tin cocoa cans, heating them in the stove till they had the appearance of iron. He cut them in strips about an inch wide, nearly pointing or rounding the' ends, and fastened them on the frames with tacks or screws thus (4), The clamp goes on the end and also underneath. He finally gouged a de­ vice on the outside of each end, and stained and oiled or varnished the whole frame. We find these articles neat, durable and very useful.

IS CARRIED mm W Br the Use of the Block Card Acci-denta Are Reduced and FaclU»' <; ties Increased. Jti view of the annual toll of life collected by the railroads'of the Unit­ ed States, the problem of dispatching, trains is an absorbing concern of all railroad IZIBS O mat for nf no little interest to the layman. Frequently announcement is made that a to«jw method of dispatching trains has bein devised that is a great improvement over old methods. However, no BALLOON WITH BOY DANGLINj T© * HEAD DOWN, SAILS GREAT HEIGHT. Syracuse, Ind. -- When his foot caught in tbe ropes of & balloon just as it shot upward here the other day, Quinter Neff, 12 years old, was carried Into the air until the balloon became a mere.speck in the sky, while thou­ sands of persons, attracted to the NOT WORKING THIS SEASON.

I A train's rights consist solely of pos- ! session of the ri^ht-of-way over a single block. This right is conferred ' by a block card filled out and deliv- j ered by the operator. No train can ; pass a station without a block card, i no matter what the semaphore signal j, may indicate. The block card can j only be issued through the co-opera; ! tlon of the train dispatcher with the , operator at the end of each block, so < tjteit there are always three men par- j ticipating in the authorization of each 1- single movement on a block, thereby ] reducing the possibility of error to, > the minimum. i With a clear signal anil a blo<& dard a train has the absolute rlght-of- j way to the next Btation. There, if the j Signal is to go ahead, the engineer proceeds without slackening speed, ' catching his copy of the block card by a device similar to a mail bag j catcher. Another copy is delivered to .j PAINT FAULTS. It is a common occurrence nowa­ days to hear a man remark with dis­ gust: "It is impossible to have good painting done these days; either tl paint is not good or there are no gooi painters." This, however, is not tru There is good paint, and there are good painters. But the question is, 5 bringing them together. ; One cannot expect a satisfactory i painting job without pure white lead. There is a yay to make sure you are getting pure white lead without test­ ing it. See that the keg bears Na­ tional Lead Company's famous Dutch 1 Boy Painter trademark, which is a positive guarantee of purity. However, anyoD« can test white lead.

It is claimed for this system that while it provides safety to the greatest degree possible it also increases the capacity of the tracks on which it la used nearly 25 per cent. • BORDER TRACK WITH BLOOM English Railroad L!n«« Mads Beauts flit by the Elaborate Use of Hollyhocks. That supreme cottage flower, hollyhock, which has won a score local and poetic names in the last 400 years, is now the chief glory of the biggest as of the smallest gardens. The zeal for the rough border has brought back the hollyhock, which comes to perfection when the gush of color is over. Even florists have recently been taking it in hand with great success, and one can have hol­ lyhocks of lemon yellow, of every shade of red and pink and of many variations. It can be had single or as thick with petals as a cabbage rose. Some years ago the flower was al­ most extinguished by a peculiar dis­ ease which always threatens it, but this year has been favorable and some gardeners say they have kept the disease at bay by getting rid of the mallow, which is said to be the host of the disease spores. For some reason the hollyhock grows supremely well by railways. Fine, six-foot plants grow in little headlands between the metals just outside Victoria station, London. But the paradise of the flower is the em­ bankment along the midland railway jvst before it escapes into the coun­ try. Just when the incoming traveler ex­ pects the banks to be particularly grim and barren they are crowned for nearly a mile on end with hollyhocks . ,N uCiniJftnR<t' RflYIFQ of every conceivable color, standing , otIUr 111 ntlUnDUnv BUAC& straight and tall like uniformed senti­ nels.

When the' bag reached a height of about 20 feet the Spectators beheld young Neff Whisked off the ground and carried- upward, head downward. * There was a concerted yell of con­ sternation from the crowd below, which caused Simmons to peer over the edge of the basket. ' When he saw the dangling' lad he made instant preparations to cut loose the parachute. It was the work of seconds to adjust the parachute, and in it Simmons leaped from the bal­ loon, believing the boy would have a better chance for his life alone. Simmons descended safely, but the balloon, relieved of the weight of the man, shot upward at increased speed, until it became a speck and the boy appeared but a slight, dark object, scarcely discernible. Each moment the onlookers -ex­ pected to behoid the lad come plung­ ing to his death. The great crowd stood transfixed, the gaze of all fas­ tened upon the balloon and its dang­ ling boy. Young Neff, however, bad bad the presence of mind to cling to the ropes, which had entangled his feet, and. In sheer terror, continued to hang on as the balloon sailed away. The bag had been inflated with or­ dinary coal gas and was not vary large, and Simmons had planned not to go high. The balloon, within a half hour, descended in a field not fair away, wither a large part of the crowd rushed, expected to find Neff dead. The lad was found to be somewhat bruised and so thoroughly frightened as to be incapable of speech for fully half an hour and then he merely said he "was so scared he just had to hang to the rope." Mustn't Work Like Roebottom. F. W. Ayer, the advertising agent, at the dinner in "Philadelphia in honor of the-firm's fortieth anniversary, said that to succeed in advertising re­ quired hard work. "The successes in this business are stupendous," he said, "but some folks think that working as Roebottom of Camden worked, a man can build up a fereat advertising fortune. "Roebottom was a roofer. He was en­ gaged on a Mickle street house. One day, as he was lunching, he was heard to give a yell of pain. '"What's the matter, Roebottom?' a carpenter asked. " 'I got a nail in my foot,' the roofer answered. ** 'Well, Why don't you pull it out?' said the carpenter. " 'What! In my dinner hour?* yelled Roebottom, reproachfully."--Philadel- pbtia Record. "filthy Lucre.* The expression "filthy lucre" is .of Biblical origin, and is to be found in tbe third chapter of the first book of Timothy, where tbe qualifications nec­ essary for the office of a bishop are thus set forth: "This is a true saying.
