The fall bonnet-Therc is no truth in the

BREAKFAST TABLE GOSSIP.

Cremation has become so frequent at Milan
that it has been decided to build by the side
of the cremation furnace in the cemetery a
cinerary temple or ash house, in which the
remains of the dead may be deposited and
labelled off in jars made like the old Latin
urns. The Milan press is in favor of the
new temple. The architects have handed
in their plans, and they have been approved
by the city authorities.
Texas has a cash balance of nearly 81 ,OOO-
600 in her State Treasury, and it is given
out that Governor Roberts will advise the
next Legislature to spend that and millions
more in establishing State University and
building Penitentiaries and State House at
Austin. The Governor hopes to counteract
the disposition to split the State in twain by
this means, but the measure will be opposed
by those determined to make two States out
of Texas anyhow.
If definition were needed, writes re-
cent essayist, boy might properly be de-
scribed as essentially a stone-throwing crea-
ture. To take up and fling missiles at any
animal or weaker person, or even inanimate
thing, which is within the range of his aim
or strength, or even outside of it, appears
to be an impulse beyond his power of re-
sstance Whether it is a habit which he in

Darwin traces our descent, and who is said
in some countries to reply with cocoanuts

Gus of possessing those articles of exchanged

need not enter. The fact remains, whatever
the explanation of it.
Ocean soundings made with what is known
as Sir William ThOmpSon's steel wire show
that along the entire coast of California a
depth of 1900 fathoms or more is reached
as within a distance of from twenty to seven
ty miles westward from the shore, the greater
part of this sudden fall occurring in the last
ten or fifty miles. At 100 miles west from
San Francisco the bottom is found to be
over $500 fathoms deep. The bed of the
ocean continues of uniform depth greater
than / 500 fathoms until the Sandwich Is
lands are reached, the greatest depth being
5000 fathOms, at a distance of about 400
miles east of Honolulu, which great depth
is maintained until within ninety miles of
Honolulu: at fifty miles from that place the
depth is 1900 fathoms.

In 1850 there were twenty-five florists in
New York. To-day there are 500 not
to mention tho street stalls, and it is
estimated that their sales reach 100000
year. About 1910, if a wealthy citizen
gave dinner party, one large bouquet on
the center of the table was considered quite
enough, and on such holiday as New
Years the hostess was satisfied with a couple
of nosegsys on her mantlepiece. For the
New Years celebration of 1910 the great
florists of the day sold 5000 worth of flowers,
and the sales Of the whole city
did not amount to $1,000. 1t is
estimated that on the last celebration
100000 worth were used, and Mrs Paran
Stevens alone had blossoms to the amount OF
$1,000 in her reception and dining rooms.

A Girls Postscript.

There is nothing fresher and more dewv
and more delightfully."- emphatic than a
young girls letter TO her-well her brother.
Every third word is underscored, and then
there's the postscript. The postscript to a
girls letter is as indispensable as tail to a
dog. The letter is nothing-the postscript
everything. Persons experienced in receiv-
ing girls letters have informed US that when
they are particularly anxious to know
something the letter contains they always
skip the letter and read the postscript first
1t is like the peroration of the orator. 1t is
great misfortune for young man not to
receive letters from his fair young neices and
cousins. If he is not blessed with such
relatives let him go down into the old trunk
and dig up letters written by his wife when
she was his sweetheart. He will get more
sweetness and light out of them than he
would out of Arnold or Tennyson
