I dreamt 'twns but a dream thou wort
, my bride, love I
I dreamt that we were wand'rlng sldo by
dido, lovol
I, earth's happiest pom, nml thou, her
loveliest daughter,
Whllo fairy bells camo tinkling o'er tho
water:
Merrily It fell,
Tho echo of that fulry bell.
That vision pass'd away, and thou hast
left me.
To mourn tho hopes thy falsehood hath
bereft me,
No moro I claim thy promised hnnd,
No moro In dreams I sco tho stand,
Whllo soft, sweet, soft, and low,
Soft, sweet, nnd low It fell,
Tho echo of that fairy bell.
Now, when I'm musing sad and lonely.
With but my harp and thy remembrance
only,
In vain as o'er thoso chords I bend,
One Joyful noto I try to pond,
For sad, sad, and changed they seem,
Tho fairy bells of that denr dream.

Tho Shirt WiiUt.
Very Inviting arc the displays of Ox
fords, cheviots, zephyrs and madras
cloths for tho shirt waist, and thv
made-up raodols have already pushed
out of place their winter representa
tives in cloth, velvet and One llannels.
Wo shall wear tho comfoftablo wools,
nye, and oven buy them for some time
to come, but already wo are casting
speculative eyes-upon tho thinner suc
cessors. A pretty fcaturo in tho wash
waist for next summer Is their sim
plicity. Tho human form dlvlno Is to
have n chanco to brcatho onco more,
for tho voluminous starchy fronts nro
no more. Even thoso professing to be
looso have no surplus material, and
tho greater number aro unquestionably
perfectly plain, fitted over shoulders
and bust and buttoned simply down tho
back. Hod dotted swlss has tho entire
front crossed In diamonds of whlto val
insertion, tho undarted front Just puck
ered a littlo at tho belt, tho plain
back closed with bullet-shaped peail
buttons. Tho closo sleeves have a
tight cuff, and tho simple, unllned col
lar has littlo oblong turnovers of Swiss
and Valenciennes lace. Another -stylo
for theso button-up-the-back waists Is
to havo tho front entirely of tucking
nnd inserting. This is of tho style
which Is purchased ready tucked and
joined, and saves infinite labor, besides
being nicer than the most careful homo
seamstress could make It. Madras
waists, also so fastened, havo a Blonder
vest of tucking, running down to a
point at tho waist, and havo littlo ro
vers from tho neck to tho bust on each
Hide. Theso aro also of tucking and
simply finished with a frill of narrow
lace. Largo collars and full, fussy re
vers arc not shown at all. There Is
every evidence that the 1900 summer
girl proposes, abovo all, to be sweetly
cleanly. Her waists say plainly enough
that it will he a slmplo matter to wash
nnd Iron them, and there need bo no
lack In their number for that reason.
Ono featuro which marks thorn as' new
and far prettier than tho old shirt
waists Is tho cntiro absenco of yokes
of any kind, even In the back. The
only semblauco of a yoke is tho ono
illicit is trimmed and applied to tho
shoulders, forming a little epaulet over
iha sleeves. Tho backs of tho semi
full front waists aro tucked aud plaited
to correspond with tho front. There
aro stiff linen cuffs, with rounded cor
ners and detachablo collars, which can
ho discarded altogether for tho moro
becoming stocks, and long silk scarfs
tied twice around tho neck.
The UruUhful lloilroom.
A lady noted for her good taste and
her unusual ability as a housekeeper
cays that everything about a sleeping
room should be slmplo, immaculate and
easily kept so. Bedrooms may be
either carpeted with matting or the
flooi'3 oiled and rugs placed beside tho
beds. If tho walls aro papered the col
ors should bo modest and tho pattern
subdued. Tho windows should bo cur
talned so as to be uniform with tho
rest of tho houso, but too much drap
ery Is an abomination and It should bo
entirely dispensed with In a sick room
The bedroom Is what Its name Implies,
n place of repose, and ovoryUilng about
it should bo conducive to tho one pur
pose of sleeping. Pictures and garish
furniture, or nrtlcles not actually nec
essary to tho comfort of the occupant,
should bo entirely Ignored. Abovo all
things,- a sleeping apartment should bo
flooded for at least ono hour during
tho day with sunlight and hao in at
night an abundance of fresh air, taking
caro the whllo that tho sleeper Is not
exposed to a draft.
Itreathlng-Ilathlng-Kestlnr.
A few breathing exercises evory day,
taken In the open air, if possible, will
accomplish wonders In warding off tils
ease, particularly colds. Stand erect,
with the nrms at the sides of tho body,
or tho hands laid loosely on tho hips
Expand the cavity of tho chest to Its
full extent by raising tho ribs, thereby
allowing air in abundanco to stream
Into the lungs. When at tho height of
tho inspiration, tho greatest expansion
of the chest Is reached, and It should
bo maintained for a moment. Then tha
ribs should bo allowed to recede slo'vly
but completely, so that tho cavltj of
tho chest becomes narrowed and tho
air Is expelled. In this way lnsplra
tion nnd oxpiuJon should alternate
tMculM'Jjr. Tho Inspiration should tako
Race chiefly through the nose, with tho
mouth shut.
BNOL19H MOURNING COSTUM1
Mourning gown of peau-de-sole, with
with jet aud folds of crepe.
A cold plunge can bo borne only by
the robust, and a cold plungo before
breakfast should bo taken by none but
the very vigorous. Cold baths should
never bo taken when tho body Is ex
hausted. Elderly people should not
tako a bath below 70 degrees Fahren
heit. The best time for a warm bath
Is Just beforo retiring, since It increases
the flow of blood In tho skin and opens
tho pores. If a woman Is strong
enough, after taking a warm bath she
may turn on cold water, thus gradually
reducing tho temperature of tho water
until It Is cold, or Bhe may follow the
hot bath with a cold shower bath.
The woman who want3 to accomplish
tho most and best work posslblo will
find that ono hour's rest at n fixed hour
every afternoon will do far moro for
her than stimulants. In order to ob
tain the greatest good from this hour's
rest alio must disrobe, as if it were
night, and then He down in a darkened
room and sleep for a half hour or oven
less. She will arise refreshed and in
vigorated. Ono wholo day out of ten
spent In absolute rest Is a great re
storer of strength and beauty as well
as cheerfulness.
French Model for Hummer Dress.

Comfort for Invalid.
It is often tho caso that Invalids and
persons Infirm from ago or other causo
suffer serious discomfort from tho ill
adaptation of their clothing. One fco
blo gentleman has by experiment suc
ceeded In contriving and having fash
ioned for him a dress which Is quite
satisfactory. Though long averse to
having any woolen fabrics touch his
skin, ho Is now clad In wool from neck
to toes. First Is a sort of waistcoat
or sack reaching to and covering tho
hips, buttoned down In front and hav
ing a row of six large, flat buttons
about tho walst-llne for supporting tho
easy-fitting drawers. Both garments
aro mado of very soft, llght-wolght
flannel. Tho two pieces aro preferred
to tho "combination suit" waist and
drawers mado In one as tho wearer
perspires profusely and changes tho
waistcoat several times a day, with no
need of errant of drawers. Besides,
he likes tho added covering over tho
hips and lower part of the spine. This
flour:;? of crepe de chine. It Is trimmer!
suit, with soft socks and n short flan
nel outer sack, constitutes the night
dress as well as tho day underwear.
Ilnvo You it liny Window?
Nothing affords so great an oppx
tunlty for decofhtion as a window in
a recess. A low seat running around
it, tho cushions upholstered with some
artistic tapestry, Is suggested at once.
After that growing plants should bo
hung from nbovo and curtains ar
ranged to make of the window a veri
table cozy corner. Of course, this Is
simple if tho recessed window Is built
in tho house. But tho nppearanco of
a recess may bo given to any window,
and it is advisable often in tho case of
cno In a large bare room. Placo i
couple of brass arms so thoy will jut
out from either sldo of tho window
and connect thcin In tho front with n
brass pole, over which somo curtalnn
aro draped. Curtains may also bo hung
from tho sldo arms, and tho Inner sldo
of them partially concealed by tall
palms. The decorations should bo Mu
lshed, of course, with n window seat.

Modern Shoe I'otUher.
With the popularity of tho up-to-date
enamel, patont and russet loathor
and kid shoes, tho uso of patented
preparations for cleaning nnd polish
ing them, the function of tho old tlmo
blacking brush Is becoming less im
portant In the boot polishing outfit,
its placo being largely usurped by n
plcco of cloth. Lamb's wool polishers
arc excellent for this purpose, but un
fortunately thoy nro rather cxpenslv?,
nnd when n man has to do his own
polishing It requires considerable dex
terity on his part to manipulate a long
strip of cloth In tho artistic manner
of the professional. Tho Bhoo-pollsh-Ing
device here shown, tho Invention
of an inventor of Cedar Hnplds,' Iowa,
is offered as an aid to this mighty
army of unfortunates. Perhaps Its
most essential feature Is tho cheapness
nnd simplicity of its construction, be
ing made out of u Blnglo pleco of wire
bent nnd looped as shown, with pro
vision at ono end to tuke a fold In th
polishing cloth, and at tho other with
two "tangs" that hold tho other end.
This arrangement forms n convenient
and easily manipulated holder for tho
cloth, permitting of that elasticity of
the latter so necessary forlts success
ful operation by allowing tho polishing
cloth to conform to the outline of tho
shoe.
Tho Moon nnd tho Weather.
A belief that the moon has u. potent
Influenco on wenther changes Is well
nigh universal. Tho moon's nppear
anco goes through such marked
changes each month that it would bo
very natural to attrlbuto weather
changes to these. In this wny un
doubtedly such snylngs as theso havo
nrlsen: "Tho weather won't chp.ngs
till the moon changes." "If tho moon
lies so that tho water cannot run out
wo shall havo u drought." "A wot
moon Is ono upon which a huntsman
can hang his horn," etc. Diligent In
quiry, at ono time, ns to tho popular
belief regarding this question, brought
out tho view more persistent than nny
other, that moro rain will occur nt tho
new moon than at the full moon. Sin
gulnrly enough, In Connectlcut.on Lon.j
Island Sound, there docs seem to bn
such n law, but It does not hold In
tho Interior of tho country, and a test
on tho Pacific coast showed, It any
thing, exactly the opposite. At Lon
don, whero observations hnvo been
mado for more than a century, n care
ful computation for tho wholo period
has shown no effect. If wo reflect
that tho moon Is dead nnd does not
have any air, even, up on it, that It
always shows tho same faco to tho
earth, that its changes aro simply due
to changes In Its position ns respects
tho earth and sun, and that Its vary
ing appearances aro all borrowed, wo
see how absurd tho notion is that tho
moon does Influence our wenther.
There Is, however, another nrgumont,
Hint appears qulto valid at first
sight. If tho moon can ralso a tldo of
sixty feet in tho ocean, why may It
not ralso tremendous tldo In tho
OKtremely tenuous air, 800 times light
er than water, or n tldo of about 48,
000 feet, and If so, It F.eems easy to see
that such n commotion would nffoot
our weather enormously, Tho tldo of
sixty feet, (tho highest In tho world)
Ib experienced only In tho Bay of Fun
dy, and Is duo to tho configuration of
the Atlantic coast. In tho open Pa
cific the tide Is only a littlo over ono
foot. Most careful observations of a
lunar atmospheric tldo havo been made
at St. Helena In mid-ocean and havo
shown a tide a littlo moro than .001
Inch. Since ordinary weather changos
arfect tho pressure a thousand times as
much", wo boo how extremely Insignifi
cant tho moon's totnl effect must bo.
There is a common saying, "Tho full
moon hns power to drlvo awny clouds,"
and somo computations seem to bear
out this idea. If any ono will look to
tho cast as tho rising full moon shines
through the clouds, ho will often neo
tho clouds disappear. Thero is n nat
ural explanation for this, however,
and In no wiso dependent upon tho
moon. A long scries of observations
havo shown n diurnal range of cloudi
ness with a minimum point, or tlmo
of least clouds, from C to 0 p. m., hence
wo seo that ns tho full moon rises and
advances In tho sky during this period,
there will often appear a diminution of
clouds. Lord Rosso turned hla big
reflecting telcscopo (so big thnt a tall
man walking erect In It could carry n
spread umbrella) toward the moon and
found thnt If anything, tho earth re
ceived a littlo chilling from tho full
moon. Moro recently tho bolometer,
an Instrument which can measure less
than ono-mllllonth of n degrco of torn
peraturo change, has shown that tho
nrth receives n tiny bit of heat from
the full moon. Tho evidence Is cumu
lative ami overwhelming, that no
weather changes can bo ascribed to tho
moon. Prof. H. A. Hazcn, In Popular
Science.

Mr. J. S. S. Brnmo, F. S. C, gavo a
lecture ut tho London Institution,
Dundee, tho other day, on "Modern Ex
plosives." Ho began by showing, says
tho Courier of that city, that nn ox
plosion was simply rapid combustion,
caused by tho combination of oxygen
with some Inflammnblo material, nnd
the application of n light. A stop on
ward led him to gunpowder charcoal,
brlmstono and nitre tho nltro supply
ing tho oxygen. Theso thrco things
mado up tho powder of tho ancient
Chinese, ns well ns that used In tho
tudo cannon of tho hattlo of Crcssy,
In 134G. But during tho Inst fow years
artillery has been co developed that
gunpowder could not properly llro tho
huge shot fired by tho 110-ton gun.
What was wanted was something that
would burn slowly nt first, apply its
power as tho shot moved up tho gnu,,
and havo expended Itself by tho tlmo
tho muzzle was reached. So that wo
got gun-cotton, and later cordite. The
making of cordite was explained fully.
Its constituents nro nltro-glyccrlno
nnd gun-cotton dissolved In n mutual
solvent, nnd vasollno added as n lubri
cant. Ljddlle, be explained, was carbolto
acid in combination with sulphuric
aud nitric nclds, forming picric ncld,
Tho only way of exploding it was by
means of n powerful detonator. When
tho shell haB been filled with tho melt
ed yellow lyddite, n "picric detona
tor" Is placed at tho top; and nbovo
this a fulmluato of mercury detonator.
When tho shell strikes nn object the
fulminate explodes, flashing tho second
detonator, which In Its turn explodes
tho lyddite. Tho only dlsadvnntago
of lyddite wb thnt thoro was less cer
tainty of detonating picric acid than
of llrlng powder. Mcllnlto was sup
posed to bo a gelatinised compound of
picric acid. Among several Interesting
experiments wns ono in which n littlo

processes of manufacturo shall be dis

raw material, much machinery will be
distributed throughout tho Champ do

will bo electrical. About G.OOO horse

besides 1(5,000 horso-power for light

Of caurso In each case tho generators

World's MtMt Iletnarknbla Whirlpool.
Tho Mnclstrom, which means literal
ly, "grinding stream," Is situated on
tho Norwegian coast, southwest ot tho
Loffodcn Islos, and Is tho most ro
markablo whirlpool in tho world. It
runs, between tho Island of Moskcnea
nnd a largo solitary rock in tho middle
of tho straits. Tho strong curronts
rushing betweon tho Great West
Fjord nnd the outer ocean through tho
channols of tho Loffodcn Isles produco
n number of whirlpools, ot which tho
mnclstrom Is by far tho most danger
ous. During severe storms from tho
west, for Instance, the current runs
continually to tho cast at tho rateofolx
knots an hour, without changing Us
direction for rising or falling tldo;
nnd tho stream will boil and eddy In
such mighty whirls that tho 'largest
Bteamcr could hardly contend success
fully with tho waters. Tho depth ot
tho whirlpool Is only twenty .fathoms,
but just outside tho straits soundings
reach from 100 to 200 fathoms. Tho
great danger to vessels Is of course not
of suction into tho heart of tho whirl
pool, ns legends havo supposed, but ot
being dashed to pieces against tho
rocks.
