In such occurrences strangers are not supposed to have any interest, therefore the evident superfluity of mourning so far as the public are concerned. It certainly can make very little difference in ones grief what the attire may be, and it is an unquestioned fact that too much time and money are spent on the preparation of moutning dresses for such occasions. Ttje only apology for this can be that it furnishes the bereaved ones with 4 much needed diversion. This, however, would be much better if taken in another way. But the fact remains that mourning dresses and crape are worn by many people, especially by the English, who to an extent seem to set the pace for the New Shoulder Cape. A pretty variation on the round shoulder cape is one that has ends crossing in front like a Marie Antoinette fichu. To the woman who has a pretty waist and handsomely curved figure, this fashion is less ungenerous than the round cape, which, no matter how stylish in itself, hides the figure entirely. A .

Let the bottle be of clear glass, not colored. In the lower end of x cork fix a bent C pin, and to the pin ' attach a piece of thread, not long enough to touch the bottom of the bottle. Tie a shoe button, or something of light weight, to the thread to make the latter hang straight. Now, having procured a sunglass, .which, you know, is nothing but a lens convex on both sides, and having selected a day when the sun is shining and a place where you may avail yourself of its rays, you are ready for the experiment. You may, if you are going to choose, pretend that-yoa perform little feat of magic; if so, tell the spectators that you intend to cut the thread in the bottle without touching the cork, or the bottle either. Then on the let some one put sealing-wa- x cork in such a vay that the seal could not be broken without detection. Having made these preparations, leave the room for a moment, aBd go to a window or door where the sun is shining. There, ' with your focus the rays the thread in the bottle, and you upon will soon burn it in two with the heat. Take the bottle back to the spectators, and let them guess how you performed the feat. Of course they must not know until you anything about the sun-glaare ready to give them an explanation. This experiment will also illustrate a phenomenon that we talked to you about a few weeks ago the passage of the suns heat through glass without heating; for you will find that while the focused rays burn the thread in two, they do not heat that part of the bottle through which they pass, or any other part. u , sun-glas- s, , . -fi- -O ss Express Company Uses Tricycles. Crosby of the United States Express company was abroad a few weeks ago he noticed in London that many tradesmen and shopkeepers were delivering parcels and small bundles by men on bicycles. The idea then struck him that the pneumatic-tired machine might be used to and with great saving by advantage the express company. As soon as he returned to this country he submitted his scheme to a prominent bicycle manufacturing concern and the result has been; a tricycle which seems to fill the bill perfectly. The machine is simple in construction. There is no chain, as tfm front wheel is made the driving wheel, and is worked with the pedals attached directly to it, as was the method with the discarded high wheels. The seat is a trifle to the rear of the front wheel, but not too far back to alter the pedaling motion from that used in propelling an ordinary safety. The two rear wheels are joined, by an axle, to which runs a stout bar from the fork of the front wheel. Fitted over tbe axle and between the rear wheels is a square wooden box to hold the packages Tor delivery. The receptacle for packages is thirty inches long, twenty-eigwide and twenty-on- e deep. It has a closed top and is opened by doors behind. The doors are supplied with a strong lock, and the whole box is coated When Vice-Preside- j tube of sufficient length to project What Put It Out. slightly above the cork at the top and said the old sea captain.

What should she do if he shows decided evidences of affection for her, then., upon leaving the place where she lives writes to her and other young ladies in precisely the same way? Answer: In a case of this kind there are several things to be considered. In the first place, it is rather hard to draw and the line between genuine good-wi- ll what young women call affection or love. A young man may find great pleasure in a young womans society, may really enjoy her company, comradeship and conversation, and may without plainly show that he does ofso,what peoevidence actual giving any differa is great ple call, love.

Its cost is about $175, considerably less than the horse, wagon and harness would cost, .although, of course, one horse and wagon can deliver an infinite greater number of pounds than the bicycle. But a horse and wagon is very clumsy and slow, and as the shipping of small parcels and boxes by express is constantly increasing, the advantage of the tricycles usage will easily be seen.
