Bt Valentine's duy will l observed
this year as never before. A combina-
tion of leap year, Cupid and new wom-
an could not be resisted, ami the girls
ore arranging parties for St. Valentine's
ere which will clearly demonstrate the
superiority of woman's executive ubll-
ity.
The general programme of ono of
these parties is uh follows:
On St. Valentine's eve the girls will

tion."
not be shocked. The gentlemen will
lie assisted from the curringtw by the
ladies; will lie presented by them to the
host (tor a brother of tho hostess has
ogTi od to welcome the guests), and will
receive ull the attention hitherto given
to the fair Bex.
The girls understand fully the Im-
portance of details, und therefore the
house will be arranged beforehand
with cozy little nooks behind towering
palms, and in the deep recesses of win-
dows. On that evening the girls Intend
to show the boys the perfected art '.f
making love, and you may be sure that
all will be carefully considered. A
lover should not be awkward, even in
the most momentous period of hi.s, I
mean her, life.

1,-irls choosing their partners and lead-

dance. This particularly pleases tho
girls, who are going to get even with
some of tin* isiys—the |ioor duncerft, of
course. Between dnnces, the girls will

tle nothings to their blushing swains,
and no man shall escape.
Exactly at 12 the music will eea.se
nnd each maiden will escort her tie-
loved to the dining-room, where the
supper will lie laid on heart-shaped
tables, SO arranged that thev form an
immense heart. There w ill ! ■ la tables,
and a couple w ill sit nt each table. For-
get-me-nots and jmnslos will lie the

The floral decoration is gauged to

slcs nnd forget-me-nots are tho usual
(lowers, but roses and carnations are
also seen.
JIund-puintcd celluloid is a novelty
in valentine goods, and is made up in •

Funny valentines with funny (not
coarse) jokes are numerous for tho
amusement of boj's and glrla.

I'll long the novelties.
But the plans for dances nnd dinner
parties are the most interesting as well
n.s the most unique, nnd the girls are
going to make the most of this, their
last opportunity. For she who is any
approach to an old maid now will be a
hopeless case eight years hence.

each cover, with a center piece of la

w ith rosebuds for feathers.
This is not so pretty, however, as the
rrangement of anumberof small heart-
shaped tables into one immense, hol-
low heart, such as is planned for that
\ alentlne's eve jmrtv mentioned above.
It is suggestive of Valentine seclusion
to have a separate table for each couple,
and yet tlicy nre really close enough to
admit of the jolliest kind of general
conversation.

prevail for a time, but the daneei-s w ill

Who Itecognlze the Authority of Turk'j's
Mullnn.
The seriousnetiH of a religious <vur
in ease Turkey dews not coneedc to the
powers a]>]>ears to have been over-
looked, although it would l>e more
disastrous to Great 1'ritain than to oji.v
other nation. The sultan of Turkey
is the recognized head of all the Mos-
lem world, except the Persians and tho
jieople of Morocco, who are dissenters
nnd followers of All, the son-in-law of
Mohammed. There is a wide differ-
ence of opinion as to the numbers in
lh« Moslem church. Estimates vary
all the way from 175,000,000 to 400,-
( 00,000. There ure 2." ,000,000 in China
who ore now in rebellion against tho
cmi>eror, und are overunning the west
em provinces. In India there is a Mo-
liamniedun j.opulntion exceeding -RV
000,000, more than in Turkey, whete
the total is 32,000,000. There are 30,-
000,000 in the Malay peninsula, 15,*
0*>0,000 in Central Asia, 18,000,000 in
Northern Africa, 11,000,000 in Centra!
Africa, 5,<X)0,000 in Egypt, 11,000,000 in
Arabia and 3,000,000 or 4,000,000 in
Afghanistan. In southern liussia, in
the iialkau peninsula and in Uulguria
the believers in this faith are very nu-
merous, and there are large colonies in
southeastern Austria. At least CO,-
000,000 Mohammedans are found in
liritish colonies alone, and probably the
true total would reach 90,000,000.
The sultan is recognized by all these
people. as a sncrcd person, the suc-
cessor of Mohammed, just as the pope
is recognized as the successor of St.
l'eter. They do not deny Christ, but
consider Him a Moliammcdan prophet,
and give IIis pedigree in the Koran.
The Moslem will swear by Moses, I)}*
Christ or by Mohammed with equul
readiness, but Mohammed is the lose
and the greatest of their prophets and
the founder of their religion.
In one of the mosques at Constanti-
r.ople the green mantle of the prophet
is preserved. If that is taken out and
a holy war proclaimed, the Islam popu-
lation of the entire world, except Per-
sia and Morocco, would promptly re-
f-pond, and the sultan irf the only man
who can issue such a proclamation.
If he is pressed too hard he will bo
apt to do it, and the English, with the
British colonies, would be the first to
s-ilTer. The French would be placed
in the attitude of self-defense in Al-
giers and Tunis, there would be out-
breaks throughout all southern IIus-
sia and eastern Austria, and near y
cm ry country in Europe would be en-
goged more or less, except Germany,
which alone is free from Turkish com-
plications. Germany has cultivated
commercial relations, and nearly all

The original otobarsk has for long re •
malned sutlicicnt for Canadian toliog-
giiners, probably because the pastime
with then is hardly more than the
original menus of locomotion it pro-
vided for the Indians, and competition
in speed was never u siiccepi ful |swsi-
blllty. The primitive Swiss coaster was
destined to a far shorter tiuproroocy.
when put to the keen teste of the racing
that developed. Men soon got all that
was possible, in the way of speed, out
of sitting on a wooden framework bal-
anced ujwn Hat iron bars. And Mr. L.
P. Child, of New York, supplied tho
want by producing In the winter of
1887 an Aniericnn "clipper sled," which
beat every rider In Davos out of sight,
whether native or lm|iorted. He rodo
it lying headfirst on his side, steering
with ono moecasincd foot swinglngout
behind, after the method fnmlllQr on
the chutes of Montreal.
Owing to local prejudice and habit,
this headllrst jiosltiou had not pene-
trated to Switzerland till long after It
had been well-known elsewhere. Put
even tho Introduction of tho new posi-
tion was not. so essential and ailvanco
as was the long spring runner of Mr.
Child's machine, by means of which
steering was made far more accuratot
nnd easy than with the old flat runner
of the schllttu. Mr. K. Cohen, another
American, by winning the best race at
St Moritz, sluing on ono of the
new clipper sleds, proved conclusively
the merits of the right machine, even*
when it was ridden in the wrong way,
mid showed that on hnrd Ice, us well as
on snow of the post roads, the new ma-
chine and methods were n great ail
vance.
The pace has been increasing steadily
each year, as the building of tho run
itself improved and as new methods of
riding have developed. In the crack
race of February, 1805, two riders, one
after the other (Messrs. Hird and Gib-
son) did what ut the time of writing is
n record for the run, 71 seconds for tho
measured three-quarters of a mile. Al-
though this means an average speed
over the whole course, that on a straight
run would lie by no means extraordi-
nary, yet when such difficult turns as
Iiottledorc or the cihtirch leap are taken
into consideration, it becomes nn as-
tonishing performance. Down certain
straight parts of the course men have
lxvn timed to lie traveling at the rate
of a mile in one and one-fifth minutes;
nnd n little nearer to the finish the pace
is certainly well over 00 milts un hour.
These lust 400 or 500 yards are purpose-
ly built to give that variety of riding
which is necessitated by great speed
without hard •■'orncrs as a contract
to the steering difficulties on the curves
above; a variety in which body balance
nnd great delicacy of touch pre the un-
important factors of success.—Scribs

USEFUL GOWNS.
Worm and rirnsunt Garment, for III.
Wlntop Mmnon.
Woolens of wide diagouols so light-
ly woven that they are not heavy, vet
are of pure, soft ivool that makes'them
warm and pleasant to the touch, nro
chosen for useful winter gowns. There
ure so many ways of brightening up
black gowns this seiuson thut almost
everyone chooses these wool gowns in
black. When made for a woman of
40 or 30 years they ire very well set- up
by a vest of gathered taffeta, the ground
of the silk black, tile floivers purplish-
red clover, or roses, or petunias blurred
und softened in tho weaving. The waist
is a short titt.il coat In the back nud on
the sides, with slight fulness phiiu d in
each seam at the licit, line, and the open
fronts an- pointed, then turned back in
revers of the wool stltchcd only onco
along the edge. There are two stocks,
one matching the vest, one of black
satin riltlsiu with a large bow In tlct
bat k. The si ■eves droop from the top
to the ellsnv, nnd have narrow cults
turned back and facet] w ith the taITetu
or sutIn, us one chooses. The full shirt
Is untrlnmicd.
Shinies of yllow seen m the nastur-
tium nre much used In flaring collar*
ami vests ot hi ick wool frocks, not only
by brunettes, but by blondes. Sumc-
times a yoke of ecru luce over yellow
satiu Is preferred to a test for more
youthful irowan, anil the round waist
is miulc t i hook Invisibly on the left
title or In the buck. Still another fancy
even for tery young women Is whit*
wit In ribbon for a stock with black
dresses, the only color l ing a bnsieH
of nmethyst, unils-r, tojwi* orturiiuolse.
Ill this case the front of the wivlst form*
two large box-plalts separated by it
lengthwise band nf white satin ribbon,
which may is> crmsil nt Intervals by
Insertions of creamy guipure lace, or
by three or four rows of gilt ribbon an
