He insists thit in spite of all mod ern processes in photograpliy they remain the most correct likenesses ever produced. The f.iew union station being constructed at Beaten will be unique In that no stoim ocomc-tlves will come within a mile of It. Many roads will be accommodated at the nsw station , but all the locomotivea win sur render their cars at a point about a ir.'llo ' out nnd the remainder of the journey will be made toy electricity. Three weeks ago there was a country In Union Township , 'Madison County , Ind. Ono of the guests had the measles. Others were Inoculated wita the contagion , which lias spread until It has become necessary to ckao ithe schools of both Illchland and Union townships. The bhah of Persia has a great reverence tincats. . He has fifty of them , i-rad each ono iiaa an attendant ot 'Its ' own , with a special room for meals. When the shah travels the cats go along also , being carried by men on horseback. Gullible farmers of Allen county , Ohio , have > eea buokoed by a awindler who went through the country exhibiting an euormous car of corn from which he sold choice kernels at choice prices for eeed. The car was made from several smaller ears carefully cut up emit Ingeniously glued together In the natural form cf a big ear. There is a musical school district down In Rocknort , Me. There are only twenty-eight families , but they posbcss eleven violins , nine organ , six pianos , two banjos and one guluir. The supposed grave of Eve Is visited by over 40,000 pilgrims each year. It Is to bo Been at Jcddah , In a cemetery outside the city walls. The tomb Is fifty cubits long and twelve wide. The. Arabs entertain a belief that Eve waa the tallest woman that ever lived. A unique nnd Interesting gift Is being pre pared for Dr. Nansen by several Russian lady admirers. It consists of a carpet on which IB a map ot the north polar regions , handsomely embroidered In silk , the places visited by the explorer In his recent famous voyage of discovery being embroidered In gold and silver throid. Just as Mr. Pullman lay dead , a town bull ! exactly In the same way as the city ho named was being constructed In Sierra county , Cali fornia. It is called Overtoil , nftcr the super intendent ot a lumber company , which owns the virgin forest of 40,000 acres of plno In which it has been raised. U Is estimated that , cutting the wood at the rate of 20 000 , 000 feet a year , It will take sixty years to exhaust the forest. The town Is built on the most model principles. A southern writer asserts that the daisy woa never known In the south before the war , whllo now every section reached by the union armlet Is covered with them. Ho says that Sherman brought them first , and thai the march to the sea can now bo followet in the summer time by keeping where the daisies grow. The explanation of It Is , o course , that the seed wis brought In the hay for the horses. 1111(312 HKY-SCIl.lI'KIt. A Tuciitx-Mne .Story IIullilliiK Ui In' ' ' w Vorlf. The latent addition to the collection of tal office 'buildings ' on < the lower end of Man hattan Island Is the giant structure nowl In course of erection In Park How , with an eccentric L running through 4o Ann atreet The steel frame , although only half com' pletod , towers high above most of the sur rounding buildings , says the Now York Tribune , "When finished the structure wll stanJ ( twenty-seven stories above the strcc and' Us two towers will contain two addl tlonal storlca , and an observation tower ovoi these. From the sidewalk to the bottom o the flagpole will bo 290 feet. The fatructura stcclremployed In this building weighs 7,50 ( tons and the estimated load of the building it B4.000 tons , To give this great pile the proper support 8,000 tons of steel h vo been used The weight ! of all the material used In th construction will foot up about 25,000 tons. The first and Hecptid glories will bavo a granite front , and from ithat point to the sixth story the front will bo limestone Above the sixth story brick and terra cottu will be the material used. A unique feature of the building will bo the ground floor which will contain ten elevators for tbd AC commodatlon of the occupants ot the build leg , but will alao bo accessible to the general oral public.

The deal bedroom should liavo an open fire place , nn open bed , and a bowl and pitcher after the manner of our forefathers.

Un luckily , too , her scnso ot knowing all that Is J to bo known does not remain restricted to ! costumes , groupings and ctago business.

There will be a battle there will bo many battles and sooner or later It Is apt FRENCH QOV/N OP VIOLBT CLOTH AND VHUVBT PROM HARPER'S BAZAR Combining cloth nnd velvet Is not a pttt juKirly new style , but this season It Is mof cleverly done , and the color effects arc especally good. A gown made with the skirt of Panr.a violet clolto la most graceful in shape , the trimming consisting of binds of the velvet put high up on the skirt and fastened with steel buckles. The waist la entirely of velvet the same color as the loth In the skirt , and Is graceful and effcctlvo In design ; It Is trimmed with white satin nclngs , and on the satin Irf a line black silk braiding.

A thick material Is better for the purpose than a filmy fabric. It Is easily laundered and holds ita finish longer. Heavy linen , however , answers the same purpose , the quality known as butchers' linen being the best. Where economy ot space la desired a cheap sot of pine drawers Is conveniently put in the space beneath the table. In this case the valance la shirred on a rod or wire around the table , so that It may bo easily drawn together whcn the drawers are cot In use. Fancy bags of all shapes , sizes and kinds are among the most useful and acceptable of gifts to a woman. Bags may be made of cot ton , slllc , plush , or delicate lace , and whether square , louud , or long , a use will bo found for them. A simple but exceedingly at tractive bag may be made In the following manner : Take two pieces of handsomu ma terial fourteen Inches square and two pieces of the same nUo of aomo thin ner material for the lining , Lay the four pieces together , lining to lining and sew them together around the edge , using machine stitching , fcatlinr Blltoh- Ing or overhandlng them together. Put ft flno cord around them to cover the seam , Then In some pretty herringbone stitch In silks of contrasting color work n line across each of the four c.orners or the square. About three Inches from the corner , or at the deepest part , take these stitches through the four thicknesses of material. Upop the side of the square on which the stltchcfl are worked cut a clrclo In the center about five Inches across and BOW the edges to gether with an Inch wide bias strip of ttio lining material and hem It down upon the lining Bide ; then work two buttonholes upon opposite sides of this facing. Fasten a long silken tassel to the center of the other sldo of the square and a tassel upon each of the four corners. Run n double cord through the facing around the circle , bringing the cords out at each buttonhole. Finish earh cord with a small tassel end tlo the two ends to gether. Pull these cords and you have a graceful nnd pretty bag a dahity Christmas Gift.
