Joined the scientific expedition sent out to
observe the eclipse in its totality from the
Grenadines, West Indies. The purpose is,
first, to ascertain the true constitution of
the suns atmosphere; second, to furnish
Lake that there is flat ring around the
suns eqnator; third, to confirm. important
observations by Tachini in 1888, in which he
believed he discovered the existence of car
bon in the suns constitution. The first and
last objects af course can only be attained
by the spectroscope, but photography is ex-
nected to solve the second problem.

An Ingenious California Woman

The San Franciscan tells story OF an
invention struck out by two California wo-
men, which may save the women of the
future much labor:
"A year or two ago an Oakland lady
was having a dress made of some nice
material which was disposed to fray at the
edge. and she deplored the necessity OF
working button holes upon it. Don't you
want button-hole set imp asked her
dressmaker. a woman of intelligence.
"'Set in? l never heard OF such
thing
'sNeither did L. returned the dress
maker. But am confident can arrange
it,
"She went to work and procured some
pieces of silk of the same shade but of a
different texture, and, laying them upon
pieces of strong fiat tape, cuts Sits through
both materials, and worked firm, neat but
ton-holes. Then she trimmed off the silk
until it formed small diamond, with
rounded corners. These she embroidered
with floss, in pretty but simple design,
50 that they formed tasteful ornaments for
the dress and dainty setting for the but
tons which we're to be placed upon it. Then
she cut slit of the required size in the
dress, over cast it, and drawing the tape
through, securely fastened it on the other
side.
This woman's ingenuity and tore
thought have resulted in an invention
known as patent holes, which have
been patented in France, England. and
America. This invention is particularly
attractive when applied to white cloth land
the dainty devises add greatly to the beau
ty of fine underclothing. The ladies have
not yet succeeded in accomplishing much
with their invention, for want of capital
But some day some practical business mar
will recognize the utility of their device
and will undertake the manufacture o.
| fine button.holes on an extensive scale, sc
that the woman of the future will be ena
bled to buy her button-holes along with
her buttons, and thereby be spared much
labor and worry.

used. Flat dishes filled with wet sand are
also useful for short-stalked or heavy
headed flowers; even partially withered
blooms will revive when placed on this
cool. moist substance. Moss, though far
prettier than sand. is to be avoided, as 1t
soon smells disagreeably, and always in
terteres with the scent of the flowers
placed in it for preservation.
In the case Of flowers that grow only in
a cool temperature, and suffer when they
get into warm and dry air, all that we can
do is to lessen evaporation as much as
possible, and when such flowers have
hairy stems and leaves, to submerge them
for minuse, so that by capillary attrac-
ton they may continue to keep themselves
moist and cool; but this is dangerous to
table-clothes or polished surfaces, unless
care be taken that the points of the leaves
do not hang down to prevent dripping.
Another means of preventing delicate
and sweet-scented flowers from tagging
is to cut them with several leaves on the
stem, and, when the flower head is placed
in water. to allow only this head to remain
above the water, while the leaves are en-
tirely submerged; by this means the
leaves seem to help to support the flower
which will then last for three days in
fairly cool room. Frequent cutting of the
stem is of great use; but with all flowers
by far the best plan is to put them outside,
exposed to dew or rain, during the night,
when they will regain strength enough to
last on for days. All New Holland plants.
particularly Towering acacias, are bene-
fitted wonderfully by this apparent cruelty,
and will even stand slight frost far bet
ter than hot room at night indoors

SOMETIMES.


Some lines, when life's lessons have been learned
And sun and stars forevermore have SER
The things which our weak Judgments here nave
The thines DER which we grieved with lashes wet
win lash before rs, out of life's dark night.
A stars shine most in deeper tints OF blue;
And we shall see how all Gods plans are right,
And how what seemed reproof was love most True
And we shall see how. while we frown and sign,
Gods plans 70 on - best for you and me;
How. when He called, He needed not our cry,
Becauee His wisdom to the end could see
And even a. wise parents disalow
Too much OF SWEET to craving babyhood,
So, God, perhaps, 10 keeping from us now.s
Life's sweetest things, because 1t seemefn gooo.
And IT, sometimes commingled with life's wine,
We find the NORWOOD, and rebel and SHRINK
Be sure wiser hand than yours or mine
rours out this potion tor our lips to drink.
And II some friend we love il lying low,
here human kisses cannot reach his face,
Oh, do not blame the loving Father so.
But wear your sorrow with obedient grace!
And you shall shortly know that heightened breath
Is not the sweetest gilt God sends His friend.
And that, sometimes, the sable pail OF death
Conc ais the fairest boon His love can seno.
II we could push ajar the gates OF life,
And stand within and all Gods workings see'
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each my stery could find q KEY
But not to-day. Then be content. poor heart
Gods D ans, like lilies pure and white, unfold.
We must not tear the close shut leaves apart,
Time will reveal rhe calyxe OF gold.
And, If through patient toll. we reach the land
" here tired feet with sandals lOosed may rest,
When we shall clearly and understand
