Nothing New Under the ssn.

That there il nothing new under the
sun must surely have been the refiec-
ton OF those who read the strange story
Of robbery at Portsmouth, which il de-
scribed in this morning. paper. Some
thousands of years ago King Rameses
of Egypt-as described by Herodotus-
got a builder TO build him secret
freasure-house to which the king alone
could find an entrance; but the astute
builder left a loose stone, and helped
himself at the treasury when he liked.
About ten years ago. it appears, a gen.
tleman named Milligan, residing near
Portsmouth, being of primitive ideas,
thought that .ssecret drawer would
be safer than a bank. and instructed
workman to make him a receptacle of
this nature. Into this drawer, when
constructed, Mr.. Milligan poured some
hundred sovereigns. and never after
ward inspected the store until last year.
In the early part of this year Mr. Mili-
gan put 200 more soTereigns into the
drawer. The builder of the drawer
seems, however, to have been struck
with the same idea as the Egyptian
architect of the rreasure-house, and
went and helped himself as he liked.
and to such an extent that he has dur
ing the year purchased some houses in
the neighborhood. Unfortunately the
tales end differently; for, while the son
Of the Egyptian builder eventually So
cured fhe princess and half the king

found lis way into the hands Of the po-

Sweet sixteen out of style.

The reign of very young girls over
the heart of man IS ended. .sSweet
sixteen is insipid, fascinating eight
cen" tame. At twenty-five the young
lady of the present day may be said to
be interesting. at thirty she is charm
ing, and at thirty-three fascinating.
But it is not until the woman gets well
into the forties that she reaches the an
gelic period where temper no longer
yields the mastery and mature thought
smooths out the rugged outlines of her
mental life. III she understands the art
of se!f-preservation she may also retain
at this age the better part of her physi-
cal charms, and be pretty in spite of
her years. Ninon de l. Enclos was re-
garded as q belle and beauty at sixty,
and care and discretion are only necec
sary to carry the beauty of youth far
into mature life
Another custom is coming into vogue
which must lend hope to many spin
ster and widow of uncertain age. and
that is the fashion of women marrying
men younger than themselves Per-
haps this can hardly be called q novel
innovation, however. for it has been
practiced in the older countries for
many years, and IN Ireland has long
been the custom. DIR. johnson married
woman old enough to be his mother;
Disraeli was many years his wife's jun
ior, and Aaron Burr married a widow
several years older than himself. The
| famous Nine. de Stael was ferty-four
when she picked up young officer of
twenty or so. and Rachel married Vern-
hagen Won Ense when she was over for
| ty and he in the twenties. All of these
were happy marriages. and Miss
Thackeray, Mrs. Craik and Margaret
Fuller seemed to believe in such unions,
for they each chose comparative young
sters for matrimonial mates. Modern
and ancient unions of this kind have
proved lucky unions, and, rs some of
the latter have given a sort of tone and
fashion to the custom, we may look
for tide in that direction. If it be-
comes the fashion for women to choose
husbands younger than themselves old
fashioned folks may preach against it
in vain. London Echo.

THE SCENT OF AFLowER

The scent of flower is a wonderful thing,
Ii plays round the heart like the zephyrs
OF spring;
80 subtle, 80 soft, so resistless its power,
no monarchy rules like the scent Of flower.
Some odOrs so blend with past happier
years
They move us like melodies breathing
through tears;
For they bring back the faces and forms
that are cold,
And walks in the wild woods mid sunsets
Of gold.
A fragrance e1hale5 from flower that

dear pldege Of love in the sweet

When the Tastes we're more simple, and purer

All About Handkerchiefs.

Coquettish aprons are made of large
sized silk handkerchiefs in gay colors.
The ornamental handkerchiefs and
the new scarfs make the trimming of a
round hat for summer very easy mat
ter.
Squares of softsmull painted in Mad
ras plaids or stripes are imported for
neckerchiefs, to be worn when the sum
mer days arrive.
Lovely handkerchiefs are.of deep blue
or pink null, embroidered in one corner
with daises, forget-me-nots and other
pretty flowers. e
Plain white handkerchiefs of sheer
grass cloth have a large monogram Of the
crest embroidered in several celors in
the corner.
In silk pocket-handkerchiefs for
gentlemen, salmon, pink, delicate
shade of terra-eotta. ecru, lavender and
sky-biue are the colors most fashionable.
Ladies use these same handkerchiefs
edged with frill of lace for neglige

Why Birds Sing.

The majority of ornithologists agree
in. ascribing an erotic character to the
songs of birds; not only the melting
melodies. but also those of their tones
that are discordant to the human ear,
regarded as love notes. Darwin finally,
saving some reserves, came to accept
this view. To be able to speak crit
icallv of the lOye-song, one should pay
especial regard to the loye-life OF birds.
1t would be to throw water into the
sea to add what ornithological writers
have advanced concerning the exceed
ing vital worth and cosmical signiti-
canoe of love. Nevertheless, | venture
the opinion that the origin of the song
habit is TO be found in other sources as
well as in this important factor. among
which is the JOY of life, manifested in
an irresistible determination to an
nounce itself in melody; and that the
song is more perfectly brought out in
proportion as this feeling is more high
" developed in the organization.
Birds in freedom begin to sing long be-
fore pairing, and continue 1t, subject
to interruptions, long afterward, though
all passion has been extinguished; and
domesticated birds sing through the
whole year without regard to breeding
time, though no female or companion
ever be in sight. Such birds, born in
captivity, never feel the loss of free
dom, and. if they are well taken care
of, are always heartya nd in good spir-
its. The bird sings, to a large extent,
for his own pleasure; for he frequently
let's himself out Justify when he knows
he is all alone In the spring-time OF
love, when all life is inyigorated, and
the effort to win mate by ardent WOO
Ting is crowned with the JOY of triumph,
the Toy reaches its highest perfection.
But the male bird also sings to enter
tain his mate during the arduous nest
building and Matching, to cheer the
young, and, if he be a domesticated
bird, to give pleasure to his lord and
the providence that takes care of him,
and in doing So to please himself.
Lastly, the bird sings,-by habit, as
we call it-because the tendency is In
nate in the organs of song to exercise
themselves DR.. Pacze6, IN Popular

SPRING FASHION NOTES.

The blouse, or Russian redingote, is to /
be worn good deal this spring.
Full sleeves will certainly obtain much /
success for next summers dresses.
Walking-dresses very generally have
plain skirts or skirts plated in the cir

Dresses are made up quite simply, but
this simplicity is compensated by the
beauty of the materials employed.
The simplest of combinations for trlm-

is put on in straight rows, braid or vel
vet
Spring mantles are becoming more and
more part and parcel Of the toilet, being,
matched to the dress both in material
and color.
Capotes are very small; they are worn
quite on the top of the head, with the
brim pinched up into deep peak over
the brow, and trimmed very high IN
front with feathers or flowers.
For the demi-5aison, velvet jacket
bodices are fashionable; they are worn
with skirts Of fancy woOllen material,
and no extra mantle is required out o.
doors when the weather Is fine.
| Dresses of printed muslin are coming
into fashion again. They are TO be made
quite simply. Plated skirts, very full
| at the back, smaller at the sides and
almost plain in front; wide sashes tired
