is used, in the suspender form, minus
the bow. But I rather suepect Unit

there it is, fastened to the insertion at
the head of ths ruffles. The ribbon Is

-Almost any thin material could be
Used successfully for this dress, pro

oft, hanging lines. 'or an inexpensive
dress nothing better could be found, for
you will -see that only a few yards of
lace and ribbon are require Jn Its
trimming ani yet the originality of Its
design lifts It out of the commonplace.
Of lovely lingerie frocks for youthful
wearers of course there are no end.
Mulls, batistes and organdies are all
used In their construction, with fine
tucking, fagoting and laca inserting,
Valenolennes lace, German or French, is
tnost suitable for these dresses, al.
though cluny and baby Irish may be
need with discretion snd Mechlin Is deU

USES OF SEAWEED
1 From th New York Sun.
Seaweed has gene out of fashion a
good deal of. 1st years. This applies
to it not merely as an article, for dec
orating village parlors but as a can
didate for more' useful careers' '
, Seaweed asheS; wer Once used for
making alkali to be employed in soap
fif &! mak,n. nA ft was actually
the chief sou roe of the supply of io
dine. Other seaweeds were so mucilag
inous they were mads into artificial
horn and shell. .
Kelgrass, which Is, a variety of sea
weed, was used for stuffing mattresses,
snd even for -sheathing houses. Other
kinds were and to some extent still are
used as food for human beings as Well
ns for cattle. . Irish or carrageen moss
Is employed 1b making Jellies. ,
Dulse la by o nit-ana scorned as'ftit
article of diet y tho poor j)pnpl on
toe, eoasts of ' IrelaAdi aud footland. .
Bometlmea H. is eaten raw, sometimes
roasted or with vinegar.
It I a standby with the Icelanders,
who store it In casks and eat It with
fish. ; In : th winter when forage Is
scarce deer go down the rocks at low
tide and get a, meal off the seaweed.
Tangle la a variety with so wooly a
stem that when It Is dry some of th
country , folks abroad use It for knife
handles. .They stick, the blade In when
the seaweed is soft. As it dries and
shrinks it holds the metal fast.
But most .of these uses have ceased
to exist Other means of producing the
aJPl rult- have beep discovered
which do it cheaper end better. When
It took 89 tops of seaweed to produce
eight pounds of iodine, there certainly
was a chance to improve on the method "
Of late years the chief use to which"
seaweed has been put In this country
Is s a fertiliser, and In this direction
the department of agrlcqlture has made
some interesting ,,; Investigations. ' . As
seajveeft taken 1 1 recti y from the -rorka
contains about 80 pet; ent of water.
and as it is most valuable for fertilis
ing when It Is only partially dried. It is
clear that It is useful ,for that purpose
only along the coast. But It has been
carried night or ten miles Inland and
etui used ef f ectually, . ' .
It Is a particularly good fertiliser for
suoh crops aa potatoes and cloven which
require plenty of potash. It Is said that
there Is no place in New England where
red clover grows so well as near Rye
beach, where the soil has been fertilised
with seaweed aver . since the country
was settled. In that locality It per
petuates Itself and grows on the same
land year after year without reseedlng.

SELF-HELP AT COLLEGE.
About Half the Students Have to
Work Their Way Through. : .
- There are 76 students in the Uni
versity of North Carolina and the latest
report of the president. Francis P. Ven
able. says:
"It is probably a conservative esti
mate to say that one-half of the total
number of students either earn or bor
row in; part or in whole, the money
needed for their education."
It is. of course, not a particularly new
thing to Ind thai students In an Ameri
can university are working their way
through, but the figures of olf-he!p at
North Carolina are significant. If : for
nothing else than the variety of things
done by the students. A table In the
president's report shows that ti stu

President Venablo finds that the cost
Of living for the students has increased,
a change which, he says "Is simply in
keeping with the changed standards of
living of the times. "i ,; Seven year ago
the man at. North Carolina who had t;
scholarship had expenses of I1B0 a year,
for others the sum was 1100 greater.
