THE SEASON OF INCONSISTENCY
Here Is a modish outing gown of white ratine, a fabric whose modishness
rone can gainsay. The low armhole gives the shoulders a graceful sloping
line, and the rather odd arrangement of buttons Is also pleasing. Turn back
cuffs and an embroidered collar adorn the blouse. The little susli of ribbon
with Its short ends finished with a ball fringe Is distinctly smart With this
gown is worn a neat Panama lint finished with a ribbon cockade.
A PRESENT OF FLOWERS.
How They Should Be Gathered and
Packed to Keep Freah.
Flowers should be gathered the night
before they are sent and placed in
tepid water In a cool room. Disc re
tion should be used lu choosing the
blooms, for wide open blossoms will
nulurnlly drop soon. Half open buds
are the best for sending by |s»st, nsv
they will then open when they nre
placed iu water at their destination.
Cut them with a sharp knife, for If
the stems nre severed by scissors the
sides of the stalk are pressed together,
thus stopping the flow of the sap and
consequently curtailing the flower’s
existence. All superfluous leaves
should bo taken ofT, ns fresh foliage
must be Inclosed with the blossoms.
The box In which the flowers are to
be packed should be a light, strong,
wooden afTalr, Its size varying to suit
the length of the flowers that are be-
ing packed. Small blossoms will keep
In a better condition if tied In bunches
than packed separately. It Is a mis-
take to think thnt flowers travel bet-
ter If packed loosely. They should be
placed close together.
Line the box with puper and then put
In n layer of foliage. Place the heav-
iest blooms at the bottom so that they
will not crush the more delicate flow-
ers. Tissue paper should be used In
preference to damp moss, for this Is
apt to become heated and nbsorb the
moisture of the flowers. Flowers will
generally travel quite safely without
the aid of either of these, the dump
foliage keeping them cool.
Unpack the flowers at once when
they arrive and cut the ends of the
stalks. Then place them In warm
water in a cool place. Hard stalked
blossoms, such ns roses, should have
the ends split so thnt they can absorb
the water more easily. Should the
flowers be faded hold them In stenm
for a few minutes or place the ends
of the stalks in boiling water. This
revives them wonderfully.
Care should b-' taken when vnrlous
species of flowers are being packed
together thnt they nre suitable, for
very heavy blooms spoil the fragile
ones.

DISASTERS BREED PATENTS.
Great Calamitiaa Causa New Inven-
tions to Be Worked Out.
It Is auuounced that a mun has pat-
ented uu unatukahle ship with a chain
of air tight compartments surrounding
the hull above the water line, says
Pearson's Weekly. Experiments with
a model showed that the tanks kept It
afloat even when the whole hull wns
tilled with water.
It Is a well known fact at the patent
office that everj great disaster, such as
the Titanic wreck, causes a sharp In-
crease In the number of new Inventions.
During the past few weeks several
new bullet proof shields have been juit-
ented, and the French police authori-
ties have actually purchased a number
of devices of tills kind for use In such
a case as- the siege of the nnurchlst
Helmut.
Some time ngo there were no fewer
limn three successive eases of people
falling out of moving trains. The re-
sult was tbut a young “clothe looker"
of Colne received the sum of $12,!500
from the (treat Central railway for nn
Ingenious safety lock for carriage
doors.
Kvery one will remember the dread-
ful submurine disaster of July, 1U01>,
when C 11 was struck by the steamer
Kddystone and sunk with u 11 bunds ex-
cept a few who maunged to spring out
and were picked up by U 12.
The result wns the invention and
adoption of the life saving helmet
which is now provided for the nse of
all submarine crews. The apparatus,
which weighs sixteen pounds, consists
of an atr tight helmet, within which Is
a metal box containing oxyleath, which
when moistened gives off pure oxygen.
The arrangement cun be put on with-
out assistance tn thirty seconds and
enables the wearer to breathe comfort-
ably for an hour.

USE ODD PIECES OF LACE.
Available as Trimming For Under-
clothes and For Othor Purposes.
Leftover pieces of lnce aud odd
lengths cun be used to trim under-
clothes and to elaborate yokes, collar
and cuffs sets, etc.
Mark oue-hulf inch blocks with a
pencil on the goods you wish to trim,
then cut every other one of the blocks
from the center to tlie corners and
turn back the points so that they form
an open square. Haste the pieces of
lace back of the squares and sew with
tine stitches.
One. two or three rows of these blocks
may be used, according to the width
you wish the trimming to be. The
blocks may also be arranged in medal-
lion forms.
This arrangement would make n love-
ly trimming for a little girl's dress.
The pieces of lace need not match, hut
if laces of different mesh are used al-
ternate them so that the pattern will
be kept uniform.
Charming negligees may also be made
by combining bits of embroidery, lace
and lawn.

Sermons In Little Paragraph*.
You cuuuot do right till you are
right.
Morally spenklng, every man la his
own ancestor.
An ounee of helping's worth a pound
of preaching.
True recompense lies In loving, not
In love returned.
A permanent peace follows only the
victory over self.
Be merciless toward sin but very
merciful toward the sinner.
Virtue grows strong under the tute-
lage of temptutlon overcome.
No religion helps you that doesn’t
help you help your neighbor.
It's not enough to deuounce the
false—proclaim the true.
Giving doesu't rneun only gold and
sliver—give the best of yourself.
A retentive memory Is excellent, but
the power to forget some tbtugs Is
better.

No Public Docks In Hongkong.
It is a rather peculiar fact thnt while
Hongkong Is one of the great ports of
Uie world In tonnage and activity, In
no harbor with anything like equal
shipping is lliere less artificial nii^ to
navigation. There are no public docks
or warehouses, the only wharfs being
owned by a private company I11 con-
nection with privately owned ware-
houses and furnlshiug berths for four
vessels.

the station, stolidly chewing gum.
“Any of yotite White?" he Inquired.
“White! Of course we're white,"
snapped Norali. “Do l look like a mu-
latto?”
“Whnt’s your name?” queried the
boy ns he began to fumble In bis pock-
et for a letter.
"My name Is McCue," said Noruh,
somewhat curtly.
The boy began - hum. Norab could
not recall the air, but Ita Illusive famll-
iurlty aunoyed her. »
• “What is It you want, boy?” she de-
manded.
''I’m lookin' for n gent named White.
That's what I want. Does he live here
or don’t he?”
"Certainly he does not." Norah as-
sured him. “My name Is McCue, and I
live here with my mother—no one else.
Do you understand, you stupid little”—
She stopped abruptly. The boy had
begun to sing the same air with words;
"Huge McCue, you mlck, you;
You mlck, you."
This was too much! Norah slammed
the door with great force. It was uae-
le ; to even attempt to practice now.
Her brain was In a whirl of emotions.
Elver since last night, when ahe had
quarreled with Josh, things had gone
wrong. She would go out and sit In
the old apple tree and fight it out with
herself. She would climb to her favor-
ite branch and write out that musical
exercise for the professor.
She was comfortably seated on one
of the upper branches when she again
caught distinctly those familiar strains
of "Huge McCue," this time whistled.
“If thnt Impudent boy has come back
again I’U”— But Norali got no fur-
ther In her one sided conversation. In-
stead of a messenger boy appeared a
tall, strapping youth, pipe la mouth, a
stiff walking stick In hand, followed
by a sprightly little Irish terrier. He
had stopped and was talking to his
companion.
“Mick, you old boy,” said the man,
“you see tbat ladder over there. Well,
I’m going to smash it In forty pieces.
If there is anything I hate it Is a silent
reminder of things that might have
been and happy days gone by.”
Mlck gave assent by a sharp bark
ns the man strode up and gave the
ladder a vigorous kick.
“How dare you?” came from behind
the screen of soft green leaves.
The dog pricked up his ears, and the
man simulated amazement.
"Mick," he proceeded, “you and I
have discovered a wonderful

SINGULAR SURNAMES.
Directories In Cities Show Many Queer
Ones and Odd Combinations.
An examination of any city directo-
ry will disclose tlie fact that many per-
sons have very peculiar surnames. Of-
ten the combination of Christian names
and surnames will have a distinct
meaning in English, it is not uncom-
mon for citizens to ask permission of
(lie courts to change or shorten their
names for tills very reason. Charles
Dickens and many other authors de-
lighted in giving their characters
names which wore suggestive of the
type of man or woman represented.
Many of these peculiar surnames
come from the English, where the oddi-
ties In names are quite marked. I.it-
tlepago, I’etterknight, Tiplady, Sweet-
apple, Thickpenny. Shortgrave, Best-
pitch, Wnlklate, are suggestive of many
others which may bo culled from a
very long list of names. Klrrn nnmes
made up of two numes having just the
opposite mentdngs are also striking. In
New York there Is a firm of the name
of Henrup A Gnrryher, while Late A
Early and Day A Evening have also
conducted business together.
What Are Cork Legs?
One often meets with a description,
especially In some of the older novels,
of men with cork legs, and upon read-
ing the graphic' accounts of some of
these old sea dogs, for most of them
were sailors, one would naturally
tliluk they had artificial legs made of
cork.
Rut nrtlfleinl legs nre never made of
cork. They do not get their name
from the material of which, but from
the place at which they were mode.
This was not the city of Cork In Ire-
land. but Cork street, off I’ircndlllv. I11
London, which wns the headquarters
for the artificial liuib trade In the old
days.

The toes must be kept pointed or they
