I think I could see better on the right
side. There! Will that do? Oh, but
If I sit in the middle I can't see any
thing! "Ought T to pull both strings very
hard like?' "Why, they won't move at
till. Hut if I pull the left string we go
to the left and I'm sure that's wrong,
ljccauso I've always heard that you
ought to pull the other string.
"Well, never mind; we're getting
nlong very nicely nnd catching tip with
the other boat. Oh, oh, there's a boat
coming the other wny which side
ought we to go? They're rowing right
into us. Oh. do stop!
"There! I knew the silly man would

"Why didn't he look around and

"What? It makes rowing so uncom

don't think it was my fnult we ran into

was It? Of course. I forgot.
"Now, let me see. What ought you

BEAUTIFUL SILK CORSETS.
KkiiiIhUo In Color nnd Trimmed wltU
fancy Jtlhltotm.
White corsets are out of date. Fancy
designs In till possible colors represent
the very newest styles, and arc appeal
ing strongly to those who like to have
their underwear as varied in hue us it
Is elaborate in finish. A line lady attired
In her new set of French underwear,
the full silk petticoat exactly matching
the corset, and both equally bedecked
and berlbboned, has quite the appear
ance of being ready for the ball or opera.
If we except the absence of sleeves there
Is no suggestion of undress about her
costume. Kvery fashionable corset Is
made -jf satin or silk, Is profusely
trimmed with ribbon and lace, and tits
superbly. Its variations of shape and
style are indicated in the illustration.
The black- corset is always a favorite.
One is exqu'sitcly combined with pink,
the black satin covered with pink bios
f oms, narrow pink ribbon used as garni
ture, and this supplemented by the lav
ish use of black lace. This is rather
a long corset, and Is designed for street
wear. It Ic n very pretty accompani
ment for a black silk skirt.
Then there is the iilack corset worn in
half mourning. It is of dull bluek silk,
and is trimmed with a heavy applique of
white loce. It is p'ulner than the ordi
nary black cors'ct, but Is made only in
tho finest materials, and like all the
other new patterns Is not to be had for
n song.
The fnshlonable peacock brilliancy
produced by a combination of greens
and blues is imitated even in the corset.
An especially dainty specimen is of silk
shot with vivid blue and lavender. At
the little V-shaped point in the front
a puff of lavender chiffon is let in, and
n soft, airy rucho of the same chiffon
forms a border for the top of the corset,
while the bottom is outlined by a band
of bine plush. Tn justice to this corset
it should be said that it looks better
than it sounds.
A new corset which slender women
muy safly ndopt is oddly blocked
nbovc the bottom, a device which af
fords the opportunity for so much more
trimming. It is ndnpled for wear with
shirt waists, or any partly negligee
bodice which does not have to fit tight
ly below the waist.
A very recent invention is the olnstic
corset, which should be especially pleas
'ng to hygienic fnddists. The length
wise strips are of steel, the horizontal
of heavy silk clastic. A corset of this
sort should fit any figure. It expands
nnd contracts with the breathing, a
duty which the ordinary corset hos al
ways been loudly blamed for not ful
filling, nnd the apertures between th
straps afford nn abundance of room for
ventilation. The elastic corset deserves
to be hulled with delight. N. Y. World.

CATS AND WILDCATS.
Ferocious Felines That Muter Havoc Among
Weaker AnliualH.
It has taken about 20 years to pro
duce the wild cuts of Goat Island, the
degenerating process commencing
soon nfter the lighthouse was estab
lished there in 1875. It seems that tho
first keepers brought a number of cats
with them, but with unrestrained lib
erty the animals gradually forsook the
comforts of civilization. Goat Island is
the home of thousands of birds nnd
squirrels, nnd to this is probnbly due
the temptation of the cats toforsnketlH
keepers' fireside. At first the cats would
absent themselves for days nt n time,
but the kittens were born nthomc. lit
time, however, they got over this, nnd
lived altogether in the underbrush.
After n few years the descendants of
the first cuts were so wild thnt they
were afraid of human beings nnd made
their dens in the crevices of the rocks.
From thnt time the cats became
wilder, uiftil now they are as ferocious
ns the terrible creatures of the moun
tains. They have increased in size nnd
changed altogether In disposition. They
nre always seen in pnirs nnd nppear to
mate, as all species of the cat tribe do
in the wild stnte. The cnts live on squir
rels, quail and sparrows, ns well ns such
other small animals as thev enn enteh.
They are supplied with water from a
dozen .springs in different parts of the
inland.
In addition to other changes the wild
cats have become hostile to suclrtnme
cats as are brought to the island from
time to time. They will attack them
on sight nnd never stop till they have
killed their victims.
The chief destruction wrought by
thenvild cats is on the quail that inhabft
the island. The "artful drummers"
used to he there in abundance, but nre
now pretty well thinned out. The cnts
nrc constantly on the alert, nnd not
only kill every quail they can catch, but
often destroy whole nests full of young.
To preumt this the lightkeepe'rs arc
always on the lookout for wild cats nnd
shoot every one thnt comes anywhere
near the house. As n consequence the
cats keep some distnnce away, nnd the
quail seem to think they nre siifc in thnt
locality, for there nre more nests there
than in any other part of the island.
Many plans huve been tried within
the last few years to rid the island of
the hungry, carnivorous pests, but tho
more they nre persecuted with shot
trap nnd poison, the more rapidly they
fceeiu to multiply. San Francisco Call.

THE LOVELY GREEK.
1'nys n Much Attention to Her Toilet bs
Docs n rrofcsxlonul Untidy.
If t'no Grecian women wero beauti
ful, it wns not wonderful, considering
the care they gave themselves. The
fashionable Grecian woman was of
free customs, but she was not depraved.
She resembled a professional beauty
more than any other class of modern
women, but bIio wa3 far superior in
learning and accomplishments. She
could bo a politician and write elo
quent spccclics for tlvo head of tho
republic to deliver. She was versed in
sciences, and taught thom in public,
and alio was also a poetess, winning
her laurels over male competitors.
Her toilet was not her only and solo
occupation, though it did take a great
part of tho morning.
It begins by her slaves frictioning
her from head to foot, then placing her
in n bath of perfumed water, after
which she was again frictloncd, this
time whh ivory brushes, called
srigillcs. This done, sho is annointed
with perfumed oils and' aromatic fumi
gations, and then, being wrapped in n
sheot, sho is laid on a couch, where sho
partakes of refreshment beforo tho
dressing process begins.
Tho hair is first attended to. It Is
brushed, combed nnd rubbed with per
fumes, then it is waved or curled with
hot irons previously to being dressed
in tho latest fashion. Gold bands,
jeweled pins, pearls and silken nets
are in turn worn to complete the 'head
dress, which in itself is an artistic
study, as every statue of Venus tells
us. Tito hair being dressed, tho ej'c
brows and eyelids are touched with
incense, nnd tho teeth aro brushed
with perfumed powders. A perfumed
water is also kept for some time iu tho
mouth to perfume tho breath.
The whole person Is finally sponged
with an astringent lotion to prevent
wrinkles, nnd, finally, tho face and
neck aro gently touched with a white
wash. The hands nnd feet ore also
scrupulously attended to. They arc
rubbed with softening pastes, and the
hands nre dyed pink, and polished un
til they shine like glass. Philadelphia

A MEDICAL SCANDAL.
English Doctors Who Aro Actually In Ilo
celpt of CommlftfdotiH from Undertakers.
"Some English doctors aro in tho
habit of receiving commissions from
undertakers on f uncials procured
through their efforts." This startling
charge is malo by Sir Edward Fry,
until recently a lord justice of the
court of appeal in England, in an ar
ticle on the evils of secret commissions
in trade.
"A poor governess," ho says, "died
in a school, and as soon as sho wns
dead the medical man pulled from his
pocket a sheaf of the cards of an un
dertaker, and, giving ono of them to
tho person concerned, suggested tho
employment of the undertaker. Tho
undertaker was employed, but the
medical man has not since been called
in, for the real nature of the transac
tion gradually became apparent to the
head of tho bchool.
"What a psychological study (to use
a current phrase) is presented by the
doctor standing by the bedside of a
patient hovering between life and
death with a pack of undertaker's
cards in his pocket! Imagine sutdi a
doctor, perhaps pressed for his last
quarter's rent or his butcher's bill,
computing tho possible fees to Le
earned if tho patient live, and setting
theso against tho commission which
will bo paid if the patient bo success
fully buried; contrasting the, speedy
payment of tho prosperous undertaker
with the probable delay and trouble
of getting tho fees from the slowly
convalescing patient, nnd tho con
flict between theso degrading thoughts
and tho sonbe of duty not vet extinct
in tho doctor's breast." N. Y. Journal.

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of tho
transient nature of tho many phys
ical ills, which vanish beforo proper ef
forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness aro not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of tho system, which tho pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andi
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who valuo good health. Its beneficial
effects aro due to tho fact, that it is th&
ono remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is thercforo
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur

all reputable druggists.
If in tho enjoyment of good health,
and tho system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may bo commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
