THE COMET.
Where 1t May Now be Looked For.

At the Sayre Observatory, Beth.
lehem, Pennsylvania, the new comet
which is probably that of 1912, has
been pretty closely observed, and the
Philadelphia Times publishes COM
putation of its parabolic elements.
These seem to show that it is the comet
of 1912. The comet, according to
the published computations, has
crossed the northern part of the con-
stellatlon of Hercules 1t is approach
ing the earth at the rate of 100000
miles per day. 1t should now be seen
with good opera glass, or small tel
Escape. 1t is in the Milky Way, hav-
ing just crossed the constellation Lyr;e,
and is still somewhat nebulous in an.
pearance, but with good glass it may
he detected in the northwestern heav.
ems, on straight line between Alpha
Lyre and Alpha Sygni, and about
half way from either. 1t will soon
grow bright, and will not be hard to
find early in the evening, i'll the north
west. On the Goth instant it will pass
out of the Milky Way, and will be
seen entering the constellation Cyg-
nus. Three days later it will pass
close to Epsilon, star of the third
magnitude. BY this time it will be
quite bright. December 80 it enters Pc
gasus, passes west and south of the
square. On the night of January "a
occurs its perihelion passage, when it
is nearest the sun, and will be 49,
100000 miles from that great lumi.

The TINES is requested to call the
attention Of non-subscrbers to the tel
ephone exchange to the fact that,
every time they use the instruments,
they lay the persons whose instru-
ments they use liable for the cost OF
the connection. If that connection is
for HALEY it is X! cents; if for Belle

Ketchum, 50 cents. These are the

Persons who are not subscribers OF
the Exchange should therefore call a,
the Central or public Offices, when
they wish to use the telephone, pay
the tariff rate, and go ahead. This is
what all fair-minded persons should
do. Those who try to ''bum" the use

was active, and about the same time a
volcano sprung out Of the sea off the
coast of Norway.
The co-existence of dry fogs with
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
was observed as early as A. d. 545,
when there was an earthquake which,
as is recorded, ''was felt by nearly the
whole world" In November, 1918,
when there occurred in England the
greatest earthquake ever known in
that country; i'll l126, when Palermo
was nearly DESTROYED and 5000 lives
lost; IN 1929, wi en- Mercia and num-
erous villages in Spain were destroyed
with great loss of life; and again, in
1884, when on February IA, in the
Duchy of Parma, there were terrible
earthquakes. At Borgotaro no less
than forty shocks were experienced,
and at Pontremolt many houses were
thrown down and not a chimney left
standing.
Hecker, in his ''Epidemics of the
Middle Ages" has collected notices
of various phenomena of this kind
which have preceded the great CONT
mental plaques, and which have often
been characterized by offensive odors.

bling the great one Of 1883, preceded

brilliant red velvet. There are also
rich bonnets made of very fine white
camel 's-hair and of India cashmere en-
broidered with gold and silver threads,
or wrought with large dots done in fine
Jet beads, or else the fine wool fabric is
plain, and is laid in many folds on the
crown, with brim of plated chenille
or OF pulled velvet or of feathers. Black

rich and gay embroideries for crowns,
and these are laid over transparent

AT st. Thomas, Canada, a traveller
entered the dining-room and sat down
with his hat on. AS he was about to
attack the viands the head waiter asked
him to take off his hat, and as he de-
clined to do it the landlord was sum-
moned. That parsonage seized the hat
and threw it out of doors. Thereat the
guest arose just as waiter was passing
with a tray freighted with somebody's
dinner. He gave the tray kick that
sent the dishes flying toward the ceiling.
The waiter seized the guest by The collar,
and the guest seized the waiter by the
throat, and the landlord and the waiter
knocked the guest over on the dinner
table. The table was upset, and there
was crash. and the guest ran out to
the nearest lawyers office and entered a
suit for the value of his hat.-N Y. Sun

Made-up BOnnets.

Cloths, velyets -plain, brocaded, and
embroidered-with lace and large jets,
are used on the made-up bonnets Chat
is, when fabrics are laid on frames),
and these are usually made of the ma
terial of the dress with which they are
worn. Tailors save pieces of bias cloth
for making the entire bonnet, or to be
laid in folded scarf around the crown
of velvet, felt, oY sOutache bonnet, and
the dressmaker gives bits of the rich
embroidered velvet tabliers for the
crown of dressy bonnets, and of the
plain velvet of the other parts of the
costume to make the brim or for trim
ming. There is no set way of putting
cloth or velvet on the frame; the only
rule is that the frame must be small,
and otherwise no two bOnnets are alike,
as the milliner seems to follow her
caprice in the arrangement of the
fabrics, or perhaps she cuts according
to her cloth For instance, there are
smooth crowns with stiff lining, and
there are full soft cap crowns; there are
box-plaited crowns in lengthwise plat
mgs, and there are festoOned pieces
across the crown made of velvet edged
with beads or of cloth finished with
chenille; and brims are equally diversi-
fed by being full OF plain, pulled or
box-plaited, in smooth folds, or with
slight coronet smoothly covered with
velvet or dotted with large moulded
beads or with jets cut in many facets.
One pretty fancy is that of covering the
bonnet with velvet pointed bits in leaf
shape an inch and half long, begin
ming in the center of the crown and ex-
tending to the edge of the brim, where
there are tiny ostrich tips falling for
ward on the hair Another novel ar
rangement has rows of fine knife-plait>
ing of doubled velvet, each row an inch
wide, starting in the center of the crown
and covering the whole frame This is
pretty in three shades of a color, thus
cream velvet in three rows forming the
crown, with golden brown plaitings
next, and darker chestnut brown plat
ings in the front. The fashion of dark
velvet Innings and facings for the front
of bonnets still continues, and some of
the most costly bonnets for day recep-
tons have the crown of ivory white vel
vet nearly covered with embroidery of
colored pearl beads, chenille, and silk
while the front is made of puffs of dark
moss green, golden brown, or the new

THE Bo0K-KEEpER.

1t was an ancient book-keeper.
And he was tall and slim;
I1ongh his face was mild he rarely smiled,
ms clothes were dark and prim,
ana everything about his desk
he Kept exceeding trim.
he always hung his hat and coat
Upon the self-same hooks,
ana laid his ruler, pen and ink
In their respective hooks,
And the only exercise he had
Was footing up his books.
Each day upon the self-same hour
He took his lofty seat,
And bent his body and his mind
His labors to complete;
ana blots were neither on his fame
Nor on his ledger sheet
The music of his pen was heard
From morn till eyentide:
Up columns vast his eyes were cast,
Then down again with pride;
Quite pleased was he though he saw his WORE
increased and multiplied.
The cash that DER his fingers came
Each day was something grand,
And yet no schemes to bear it off
by him were ever planned
Although you saw with half an'eye
That he wrote sloping hand.
He had no wife, he made no friends.
His Joys and cares were few,
And his dearest hope from day to day
Was 10 keep his balance true
good world this if every man
The latter thing would do.
He never sighed when little ills
His way of life would cross;
And Ger the errors of his youth
He showed no vain remorse;
But set down all that came along
To profit or TO loss.
One day the creditor of all
Dropped in for his amount;
He found the old man at his post,
Though low ran natures fount;
The books were closed and he was borne
Up to his last account.

BAH interrupted Dr. SIENNA, I'VE show ten
dency to human charity and common sense. The
fences are all down. Why, within the past week
I've had letter from my old friend, DIR. W. V.

using, with great success, PARKER s TONIC in
his practice, and finds it the best thing for Coughs

Rheumatism, and so on. he ever struck; and an
other friend of mine DR. j. j. Oatman, OF Carroll

knows what he is talking about every time

If disease has entered the system the
only way to drive it out is to purify and
enrich the blood. To this end, as is
acknowledged by aflmedical men, nothing
is better adapted than iron. The fault
hitherto has been that iron could not be
so prepared as to be absolutely harmless
to the teeth. This difficulty has been
overcome by the known Chemical Com
pany of Baltimore, Md, who offer their
Browns Iron Bitters as a faultless iron
preparation positive cure for dyspepsia,
Indigestion. kidney troubles, etc.
