All white should be used until a child is a year or two old, and even then it is a mistake to use anything but light colors. Cloth coats, ribbed silk, bengaiine and poplin are all fashionable, and the style is the same for one and ail. No coat or other garment that a baby wears should be made in a way that will not allow of its being cleaned frequently. Harpers Bazar.

New York Press. tne- Llllenthals Gliding Machine, dat surface, entirely apart from the question of propulsion, was a German engineer, Herr Otto Lilienthal. A series of experiments and observayears, were tions, covering twenty-fivdiscussed in a book which appeared in 1899. Subsequently Lilienthal made short flights through the air by Jumping from a roof or cliff and gilding forward and downward at the same time. At first be used only one pair of stationary wings, or aeroplanes, to hold himself up, but later he made a double decker. His apparatus was supplied with a double rudder for steeling sideways and up and down. Gravitation was his motive power, although toward the end of his career he meditated using a small engine. Pilcher, a young Englishman, and Octave Chanute, an American engineer, have done a great deal of good work along this line. The two most prominent investigators of the possibility of combining the aeroplane for sustaining the ship in air with powerful propelling mechanism of the screw type have been Sir Hiram Maxim and Prof. S. P. Langley. Maxims machine was a colossal affair. For experimental purposes, in order to ascertain how fast it would go ahead, it was mounted on a railway. It had three flecks, or sets of aeroplanes, and, with three men on board and plenty of naphtha for fuel, weighed 8,000 pounds. There were two enormous screws astern. The engines were marvels of lightness. They developed 360 horsepower wih a weight of about six pounds per horsepower. While he was experimenting, in 1895, Maxims airship the track, rose pulled loose from llttlo and then -- came down abruptly enough to be considerably injured Since that time Sir Hiram has given little attention to this subject.

Old Imp, one of the grandest j one-hal- horses on the American turf, is out of the racing game for good. She was recently bought by A. E. Tipton for $4,100. Imp will be sent to Hamburg place, Kentucky, the breeding farm of John E. Madden, where she will be bred to the young and promising stallion Mirthful. Tbe small figure she brought may be accounted for by the fact that it is doubtful if she will prove a great success in tbe stud. Imp was retired to the stud over a year ago, but the death of her owner, D. R. Harness, of Chillicothe, O., sent Her last her again to the races. active racing career was brief, how-- 1 ever, and to settle up the Harness estate she was brought east to be sold. Imps splendid record as a race mare is well known, but even the expert student of racing will be surprised at the facts set forth in these figures. Imp started la 170 races and won sixty-twtimes second, of these, was thirty-fivtimes third, and forty-fou- r twenty-nin- e times unplaced. Her total earnings were $71,014. She rarely got in under less than 120 pounds in her 3 year-olform, and wa3 the first of her sex to win the Suburban handicap. Sturdy Esquimau Pigskin Artist The Carlisle Indian School this season has a much stronger football team than it had last year. One of the most aggressive players of the eleven is tbe Esquimau, Nekifer Schouchuck, the only member of his race in the United States who is a football player. Schouchuck had never seen a pigskin nor spoken a word of English, until 14 months ago.

Another idea seen in skirts that flash with a flounce is that of having a plain front or tablier that is cut with very slanting sides, so that it makes . the skirt natrow at the waist.

Prof. Langley, who has probably gone deeper in to the philosophy of aerial navigation than any other living man, improved on Maxim in two or three ways. He made a model too small to carry a passenger, but big enough to test the, merits of the design. Its length was 16 feet, and the distance from tip to tip of wing about 12 feet His steam engine weighed ounces and developed only twenty-sione or one and cne-hahorsepower. Finally he launched the ship from the roof of a houseboat on tbe water, so that when It descended the craft would not be Injured. The trial flight lasted a minute and a half, and devel or thirty oped a speed of twenty-fivmiles an hour. The type of airship to which that s of belongs employs a balloon for sustaining purposes. This is shaped like a cigar or sweet potato, in order to minimize the resistance of the air in moving horizontally. Commandant Renard, of the French army, was one of the first to utilize this system. He drove his propelling screws with an electric motor, and carried along a storage bat- - lore variety he case, so How to Effect a Full Skirt One of the ways in which a fuller e if eft is obtained in skirts Is by introducing a border of bands of velvet that begin broad at the base and narrow Machine. Santos-Dumont- The first gown is of wood-browcloth. The skirt is made with stitched plaits over the hips and has a group of plaits in the middle of the front extending to the bottom and forming sort of panel. The rest of the skirt simulates a tunic, long in front, shorter in the back and falling over a plaited flounce of tne cloth. This tunic is bordered with two wide bands of the material trimmed with an applique of the same. These bands trim the shoulder collar, the revers. the outside of the sleeves and the cuffs. The bloase and sleeves are plaited all over, and the former opens over a vest of green silk fastened with a single row of buttons. The draped girdle is also of green silk.
