Tho Fircplacc In Summer.

Tho aching void of black and empty
fireplace in summer time has proved
source of annoyance to many generations
of sensitive housekeepers, and various
ingenious contrivances have been evolved
to render its yawning blackness less OPP
nrcssiye. 1t may be that practical un-
imaginative minds can scarcely appreci-
ate the possibility of fire ready laid III
A prosaic CRATE being made to look pic
turesouc or artistic. Yet an English
writer enthusiastically describes such a
cold fire apparently waiting the applica-
ton of the match. Slightly protrudlng
between the lower bars was crumpled
piece of greenish- tinted paper; over this
Law small faggot, with its binding
loosed, of dry twigs; upon this was JUDI
ciously placed a lot of clean, knobby
coal. tho whole surface mounted by
magnificent yule log, carefully selected
for its shape and the picturesque dis
tribution in its upper surface OF sop!t
moss-covered broken bark. Esthetl'
housekeepers, who are puzzled to knov
how to fiji up their empty fireplaces IL

this admirable device, worthy, ACCORDING

The Chameleon.

The chameleon has been IN object OF
curiosity the world over on account ol
its power to change its color, but Its
mower TO change ito form is not less re-

cu,yed and tail erect, it resembles II

Thu Sp;der as A 1}alioOnist.

In speaking Of the intelligence dis
played by birds and beasts, Seth Green
argued strongly in favor of the reasoning
power of insects especially, and related
from his own experience the manner III
which a spider constructs balloon. IL
you anchor pole in n body OF water
leaving the pole above the surface, and
put spider upon it, he will exhibit tiiar'
yelous Intelligence by his plans to escape
At first, he will spin web several inches
long and hang to one end while he allows
the other to float off i'll the wind, Ill the
hope that it will strike some object. Or
course this plan proves n failure, but INC
spider is not discouraged. He waits
until the wind changes, and then SENDS
another silken bridge floating oil III an
other direction. Another failure is ioi-
lowed by several other similar attempts,
until all the points of the compass have
been tried. But neither the resources
nor the reasoning power OF the SPIDER II
exhausted. He climbs TO the top OF inc

The Latest Follies.

Two new wrinkles are charged upon
the fashionable women of New York by
correspondent of the Cincinnati En-
quirer. The first is fddling. "It is not
rare now to meet finely-dressed girl
with boy carrying one of those black,
coffin-shaped boxes which formerly
were lugged by professional musicians
only. She is on her way to or from her
violin lesson. Pretty soon she will
stand up before the guests in her pa
pas parlor, tuck one end of fiddle un-
der her chin, and torture the company's 8
ears while delighting their eyes. How
ever horrible may be the noise produced,
she will look well during the pro~ess ~
making it." The second .ro.k - fasb
Ioo is represented to be to pray on gem
uins prayer rugs from the east, such as
Mohammedan uses. They are usual
ly about three by four feet in size, and
can be distinguished by the design,
which always represents some large fig-
ure at one end and pointed at the other.
Places are indicated for the hands and
knees. Devout women procure the real
things from an importer, and, without
facing Mecca, humping their heads on
the floor, or removing their shoes and
stockings, like the sons of the prophet,
still actually do use them to kneel on
while praying. They are said to be q
great comfort"

A new use has been discovered for
potatoes. They can be converted into
a substance resembling celluloid by
peeling them and after soaking in wa
ter, impregnated with eight parts of
sulphuric acid, drying and pressing be-
tween sheets of blotting paper. In
France pipes are made of this substance,
scarcely distinguishable from meer-
schaum. By subjecting the mass to
great pressure billiard balls can be
made of it rivalling ivory in hardness.
There is on exhibition at Concord, N.
H.. needle-book, the materials of
which it is made being from dresses
worn by the Countess Of Rumford while
with her father at the court of Bavaria
in 1926. 1t is of yellow satin which
trimmed white Grape dress worn by
the countess at ball which she gave
at the baths of Tivoli, in Paris, in 1882,
and drab silk from dress worn by the
mother of DR.. Ezra Carter, in 1902. The
yellow gimp was from hat-band worn
by the countess footman. The needle
book was sewed and furnished with
needles purchased by Count Rumford
in 1895, and the covers were made from
an arithmetic published in 1902.
