Reversible fringes in two colors are
shown for polonaises.
Princesse morning dresses have the
Vatican pleat at the back.
Hats of muslin shirred on fine wire,
are worn with muslin dresses.
Tha ball and chain hairpins become
more and more fashionable.
Serge is the best material for bath
ing suit. 1t will dry in hslf an hour.
Shoes with the sandal top and i'm

room. ..-,- A. & 49,.
Overskirts figure largely in the world
of dress-those made of grenadine and

Cork,

The barking of the cork tree---a species
of oak growing in Spain, Portugal and
Italy-is commenced when the tree is
fifteen years old, and may be repeated
every eight or ten years afterward with
no injury to the oak, which, in spite of
this periodical faying, lives to the age
of hundred and fifty years. In July
and August incisions are made around
the tree and down to the root; the pieces
which detach easily are soaked. in water,
placed under heavy weights, dried be-
fore fire, and stacked in bales for ex-
portation. The cork-cutters cut the
sheets into narrow strips, and round
them into shape with the aid Of thin,
sharp knife.

Items OF Interest.
Maid of money-A young heiress.

Milu OF money-A young nelrebs'
Is he thief, who steals a march?
The phonograph speaks all languages
iluently.
A grain of platinum can be drawn out

Have the elements a right TO brew

The Chinese say that they knew about
the telephone 900 years ago, and called
it shumsien.
Painful question by the Sultan: Is
this Turkey, or is it merely portions of
England, Russia, Austria and the other
countries ?'
In the mode of indulging in the use Of
tobacco, there is the greatest diversity,
and nowhere is this more stlikingly
manifested than in the Philippine Is,
lands. 1t is not till evening that the
inhabitants of the higher class begin to
stir; till that time they are occupied in
eating, sleeping and smoking tobacco,
which is nowhere more general than on
the island of Luzon; for children, before
they can walk, begin to smoke cigars.
The women carry their fondness for it
to greater height than the men; for,
not content with the usual small cigars,
they have others made for them, which
are foot long and proportionably thick.
These are here called the women's cigars,
and it is O most ludicrous sight to see
elegant ladies taking their evening walk
with these burning brands in their
mouths.
1t is interesting to note the number of
important inventions due to the inge-
nuity of persons whose occupation lay en-
tirely out of the line of mechanical pur-
suits. Whitney, who invented the cot
ton gin, was d school teacher, and Full
ton of steamboat fame was an artist
painter, as was also Samuel F. B.
Morse, discoverer of the telegraph.
Brindley, the greatest civil engineer in
England before the present century
was totally deficient in scientific train.
ing. Arkwright, the inventor of the
spinning machine, was a barber; and
Cartwright, the inventor of the power
loom, was clergyman, who had never
even seen q weaver at work. Roebuck,
the originator of the modern iron manu-
facture of England, was a physician at
Birmingham-ands so the list might be
much extended.
During the middle ages superstition
was SO prevalent that many charters be-
gan with these words: GAS the world is
now drawing near to close" And an
army marching under the Emperor Otho
l. was so terrified by an eclipse of the
sun, which they conceived announced
this consummation, that they dispersed
hastily on all sides. The ignorance of
the middle ages sometimes burst out in
ebullitions of epidemical enthusiasm
still more remarkable. In 1911 null
titude, amounting, as some say, to 9O,-
600, chiefly composed of children and
commanded by q child, set out for the
purpose of recovering the Holy Land.
They came, for the most part, from Ger
many, and reached Genoa without harm.
But finding there the sea, an obstacle
which their imperfect knowledge of
geography had not anticipated, they
soon dispersed in various directions.
Thirty thousand arrived at Marseilles,
where part were murdered, many starved
and the rest sold to the Saracens. l9
