, PERFECT SKIRT SUPPORTER. A PERFECT skirt and shirt waist supporter haa at lust . been Invented. Ever since shirt walBls have been worn women liav beep constantly, annoyed by the waist slipping up and putting In the back, and by the skirt ham! sagging and slip ping from under the belt. .Various con trivances have boon devised to remedy these difficulties, but none were to be depended upon under all circum stances. This new holder aud sup porter Is a Jewel In-every respect, over comes all difficulties, aud relieves the strain from the belt, which last has been the cause of much discomfort, be skies disfiguring the belt by bunches and Ineffective hooks. The new article SK1HT AND WAIST SUPPORTKII. Is composed of two parts, the founda tion part being a square of nickeled steel with a button In the center, aud two hooks on the upper end, the arms of which are about an Inch long. The hooks on the upper an i lower ends are fastened to the center piece by eyelets. These arms swing easily, so as to ad Just the hooks to the spread of the cor sets. There are also two eyelets In the lower corners of the center piece, through which the corset string Is passed, securing this part nt the lower end, while above the books fasten Into the eyelets of the corset. This Is fast ened so that the bottom comes Just a little above the wais.t line. The other part of this arrangement Is made to sew Into the skirt bund and loop over the button In the snmo manner as the hose supporters fasten, the shirt waist and corset cover coming between the two parts of the fastener and support er. These parts are thus so firmly fast ened together that the skirt or waists cannot move up or down. Truths Told In Few Words. . A child's respect for Its parent is not secured by over-leniency any more than by over-severity. A daughter should never seek nor be allowed to "ouKjregs" herv mother. In every family the mother should be the best-dressed member. The discarded finery of a daughter should never constitute a mother's wardrobe. No one feels especially dig nified In the presence of one whose old clothes she Is wearing, and a motlier should at all times preserve her dignity before her children. The mother who never loses her queenllness will never lose her crown. ' Preventable misfortunes consist, chiefly, of manifold things, little to do, but Immense things to have done. The man who earns one dollar and spends two, and the man who earns two and spends ope, stands on either side of the hair-line between heedless ness and discretion, between ruin and safety. ' Parents generally receive that meas ure of filial respect they deserve not always, perhaps, but very geuerally. - When a mother allows her daughter to appropriate her wraps, gloves, veils, or other articles of personal attire, she begins a policy of familiarity which, sooner or later breeds contempt. A re Bpect for one's belongings engenders a respect for their possessor. Ladles' Home Journal. Beautiful Costume for a Pride. A beautiful wedding costume for a bride, veil and all, Is described In the Ladles' Home Journal by Isabel A. Mallon: "The gown Is of white satin that beautiful cream white that you admire so much and It Is made with a full but plain skirt. The tulle veil, not worn over the face, is fastened to the high coiffure (the hair must always be arranged high when a veil is worn) under a cluster of orange blossoms. The long, pointed sleeves, prettily full at the shoulders, are finished with frills of real point lace, and a frill In har mony flares out at the back of the crush collar. The crush belt Is laid In soft folds, and does not show Its fasten ing, which is at the side. You will be wise In having no orange blossoms on your gown. They would have to be removed Immediately after iV wed ding." Fool that Nonrlahen the Sctph. Any good wholesome diet will build up the nerves. The food that nour ishes the end of the little finger nour ishes also the brain and the entire body. Each part Is but a portion of a perfect whole, and we cannot select food to build especially one part of the human structure. Fatty foods are sup posed to be beneficial to the nerves, as they cushion them and counteract the irritating conditions. Starchy foods, fatty meats and over-eating tend to the accumulation of fat Ladies' Home Journal. Baya They Can't Dance. And now It is stated by the all-wise medical man so often quoted that per sons who cycle a lot find It Impossible to perform the graceful movements re quired by waltzing. The muscles that re brought Into play by dancing are deadened by riding a wheel The light ness of toe so necessary in a waits be comes Impossible to the man or woman who Is continually pedaling, as the one set action contracts the muscles, aud the whlrUug, twirling motion of a dance can only Ih performed in a clumsy fashion. The Joints should be free for dancing. After a spin on a bicycle they are stiff and clogged. The continual bending over the bandies, too, ninkes the upright posture used In dancing painful. A cyclist who uses the wheel in moderation would be very little affected; it Is those persons who cycle from morning till night that are the sufferers. Iton'ts for Lady Cyclists. Don't ride too fast if the sun Is hot. Don't get Into crowded, thorough fares. Don't ride In smart clothes on a dirty bicycle. Don't ride on a wet road without a mudguard. Don't try to ride cleverly among a lol of vehicles. Don't ride all over the road; keep lu the middle.' Don't wear tight clothing If you want r'de In comfort. Don't look to see If people are admir ing and have a collision. Don't start off at too quick a pace If you are going a long way. Don't get an Idea that every male cyclist Is following you. Don't forget that you can ride farther by riding slowly than by scorchlng. The Humbler. Miss Liin Jon Rives. Miss Landon Hives Is the favorite chum and sister of the clever Amelle Elves. Her success In Washington both as a belle and lovable girl has been quite pronounced. She Is unlike her sister, quiet and equable in man ner, lovely of fnce and figure, and with if MISS LAN DON RIVK8 AND PAT81JY. considerable artistic temperament. "Patsey" Is a dog of high degree and some tendency to fight when away from bis doting mistress. The two are great friends, and make an Interesting due In real life. A well-known writer, while visiting in the Rives home In Virginia, speaks of the fondness for horses always exhibited by Miss Rives. She could draw In an exceedingly clev er way this animal, but was entirely unable to sketch any other and most of her friends own a design or two of the horses she likes best. No Superstition. "I cannot give you anything!" snap ped the lady to the tramp. "You're the thirteenth tramp that has called here to-day." "Well, mum." sold the tramp, after a little consideration, "you look a clever, sensible lady that don't believe In any nonsense; and Jlst to show that there ain't any truth In that silly su persitltion about thirteen beln' an un lucky number I 'ope you will give me a trifle, mum." Tit-Bits. .Bsurmir- , baby. H-'-V Sometimes the caugj of the sudden cry may be traced from the little cold fef I upward. The safety of the baby during the hot weather depends ' largely upon the watchfulness of the ones who have the precious charge In their keeping. It Is easier to prevent sore mouth than to cure It. When the baby has finished eating wash bis mouth thor oughly with a little cold water and borax. If the gums are inflamed over the coming teeth a pinch of bicarbonate of soda may be added to the borax water. Accustom the baby to a moderate light, but shade his eyes from a direct glare of full sunlight,- whether he Is asleep or awake. There are many faults of vision that may be avoided by a lit tle care, and sometimes quite grave de fects may be remedied without the aid of the oculist. At the first sign of hoarseness In the child's voice a little warm olive oil should be rubbed on the throat and chest and a piece of thin flannel laid over to protect the clothing and to keep out the air. The little bootees that have been removed to give greater comfort and freedom to the restless feet must be replaced; and no matter bow at tractive the veranda seems In the sweet, briar scented air, when tie esrly dews have fallen, the baby should go -r-r - . For Weieblna- Har. To weigh hay on barn scales, place scales, a, on the scaffold, b, over the barn floor. Across them lay a plank, c, several Inches longer than the width of the scales, to which suspend a rope or ohnln like a swing, d. under the scales. Spread the ropes under them so they will not touch their frame. In this swing hang an Iron bent like the letter S, e.

To pile the hay on, make a frame, h, six feet square, light and strong enough to support 700 pounds of hay. On two sides of this frame are ropes esch 14 feet long with the ends passed down through holes bored In the corners of the frame and knotted. Pile the hay on the frame, bring the ropes together over Jt and at tach them to the pulley-by another 8 shaped Iron. Wind up until you can bang it on the rope attached to scales, letting the weight bang on them. A ton of hay can be weighed at three draughts on 800-pound scales. 1 have found the above very convenient for that purpose In a barn. Deduct weight of frame. American Agriculturist.

Hence, instead of wasting the straw by build ing flat-topped stacks and allowing cat tle and other stock to have free access to them, a yard Is built around the stacks, and the straw fed out as regu larly as bay or grain. A tog pen has been made, as Illustrated, that serves the purpose admirably. The logs rest upon a foundation of stone or wood, the lower log being 1 foot from ths ground, and three logs on each side, the extreme height of fence being not less than 4 feet, On tlie leeward side of the stack pen a permanent and durable manger can be, easily made from small poles. This may extend the entire length of the pen, and be built upon one or more sides. The straw is thrown Into it directly from the stack, and, If a ration of hay or straw be fed at noon.

Passengers are to have an Opportunity to board and leave' trains which are in motion at the Purls exposition of 1000 by means of a new (ystem devised by a French civil engineer The idea was luggented by the moving sidewalk at ths world's fair. The buter olrcumfer ende of a circular platform is to travel at the tame rate as the pausing train. There will be no danger upon entering the platform from a stairouso in the center, where the speed is compara tively low. In advancing toward the edge the increase is gradual, and antici pated. The station attendant over looks the entire platform from a tower in the center, and should there be a heavy crowd he cuuses the, train, by means of switches, to ran aroand the station, allowing ample lime to dis charge and take on all passengers. It is proposed to work trains and plat forms at a speed of miles an hour. AN ABOMINABLE LEGACY. A tendency to rheumatism ti undoubtedly Inherited.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local application, as they cannot reach the diseased portion ot the ear. There la only one way to cure deafnesa, and that la by constitu tional remedies. Deafness la caused by an In- riamen condition or tne mucous lining 01 tne Eustachian tube. When this tube gets Inflam. ed you hare a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is entirely closed deafnesa la the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which la nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucoua surfaces.

Ow'.ng to modern methods of living, not one woman in a thousand ap proaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing1 a train of very annoying and sometimes painful syrhp toms. Those dreadful bot flashes, sending the blood surging to the heart until it seems ready to burst, and the faint feeling that follows, sometimes with chills, aa if the bcart were going to stop for good, are symptoms of a dan- a J gcroua nervous trouble.

When Mr. Wanamaker was postmaster-general he put on the market throe sizes of postal cards. Under the rule of succeeding officials lees solicitous to meet the public taste, two of those sizes have become obsolete, and only the biggest survives. The little blue postal card, the best-looking of the lot, was favored by many patrons of the post office, who have lamented its disappear ance. They will be glad to know, says Harper's Weekly, that the department, in ordering a new lot of cards, lias con tracted once more for two sizes, and that if the smaller size proves popular it will continue to be kept in Btock.
