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. PERFECT skirt ami sblrt waist supporter has at last been invented. Ever since shirt «^alsts have been worn women have constantly annoyed by the waist slipping up and putting in the back, and by the skirt burnt sagging and slip­ ping from under the belt. Various con­ trivances have been devised to remedy these difficulties, but none were to be depended upon under all circum­ stances.

There are also two eyelets in the lower corners of the center piece, through which the corset string is passed, securing this part at the lower eml, while alx>ve the hooks fasten into the eyelets of the corset. This is fast­ ened so that tlie Isittom comes just a little above the waLst line. The other part of this arrangement is made to sew into tlie skirt band and loop over the button in the same maimer as tlie 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 tlie skirt or waists cannot move up or down. A Trnth* Told in a Few Words. A child's respeec for its parent is not secured by over-leniency any more than by over-severity. A daughter should never seek nor be allowed to “outdress” her mother. In every family the mother should be the best-dressed member. The discarded flnery of a daughter should never constitute a mother’s wardrobe. No one feels especially dig­ nified in tlie presence of one whose old clothes she is wearing, and a mother should at all times preserve her dignity before her children. The mother wlio never loses her queenliness 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 one. 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 generally. 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 spect for one’s belongings engenders a resiiect for their possessor.—Ladles’ Home Journal. Passengers are to have an opportunity to board and leave trains which are in motion at tlie Paris exposition of 1900 bv means of a new system devised by a French civil engineer The idea was suggested by the moving sidewalk at the world’s fair. The outer circumfer­ ence of a circular platform is to travel at the same rate as the passing train. There will be no danger upon entering the platform from a staircase in the center, where the speeri is compara­ tively low. In advanc ng toward the edge the increase is gradual, and antici­ pated. The station attendant over­ looks the entire platform from a tower in the center, ami should there be a heavy crowd he causes the train, by means of switches, to run around the station, allowing ample time to dis­ charge and take on all passengers. It is proposed to work trains and plat­ forms at a speed of 71a miles an hour. For Weighing Hay. To weigh bay on barn scales, place scales, a. on the scaffold, b. over the barn floor.

A well-known writer, while visiting in the Rives home In Virginia, speaks of the fondness for horses always exh'bited 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.

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.

Sometimes the cause of the sudden cry may be traced from the little cold feet 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 his month thor­ oughly with a little cold water and borax. If the gums are inflamed over the coming teetli 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.

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 jxiint la<-e. and a frill in har­ mony flares out at the back of the crush collar. The crush lx-lt 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.
