TrDINGs FROM HEAVEN

Sometimes when the shadows are creeping
Over the heart and brain,
And when, as the twilight grows deeper,
We long for rest from our pain,
A question steals out from our spirit
And pierces the cloud-darkened way
"Oh, what are the tidings from Heayen2
Who sings with the angels today?"
Oh, could we bring back from its portals
Tidings to sooth and to bless! 49,
oh, could we but see for moment
Our dead in their heavenly dress
But mists as OF tears gather round them
No answer comes over the way;
We question in vain for the tidings,
Whosings with the angels today2
Methinks, could we see thro' the shadows,
Knowing how sweet is their rest,
How sunshine and JOY is their portion,
Afar mid the fields of the blessed,
Our souls would be tempted to murmur,
That even though shertly we stay,
Our prayers would be infinite longing
To sing with the angels today.
-Lura Bell.

How to Wear Linen Collars, Ruches, Rib

The merest edge of linen showing
beyond the collar and cuffs Of the dress
waist is all that fashion allows to the
white collars and cuffs. Some of the
collars have tiny. downward turning
points-not broken over, but added 10
the upper edge of the collar. The pref
erence, however, is for the fiat folds of
white, cream or colored silk canvas,
which are worn with all street cos
tunes.
Ruches of white lisse are very little
used; but colored Grape and lisse
double folds, alone or intersperscd with
loops of narrow ribbon, or single strips
of Grown or ''looped" edge ribbon
laid between the folds, or interviewer
with threads of gilt, are selected rs a
finish for dresses of black silk and
other dark materials, for which a little
Frightening up is required.
For the neck and sleeves of dark
velvet bodiccs, q fold of inch-wide,
looped-edge silk or MORE ribbon is
liked. White, cream, pearl, old gold,
India red, blue, heliotrope, pink or pale
mode-color are used. according to the
color Of the gown, or to suit the COM
plexion of the wearer. A small bow of
the same ribbon is often set on at the
inside Of each sleeve, and at the throat
on the left side, or at the back Of the
neck.
In dressy silk or satin bodices for
dinner or evening wear, real lace, in
deep trimming widths, is arranged in a
slightly gathered ruffle falling away
from the neck all around, and tapering
down to point at the waist in front.
Wide lace is also worn arranged as a
collarette or tichu, on dresses cut with
a V-Shaped opening in the neck.
Fichus Of real point Duchesse, Honi.

fichu-scarf is also picturesque. and is
made with large collar of guipure or

Notes and Comments on the Subject by 4
De Quatrefages.


Notes and Comments on the Subject by A.
De Quatrefages.
A. De Quatrefages has recently pub
lished an historical review of the an
cient and modern reports on dwarfsh
tribes While formerly the description
of ancient geographers were considered
not trustworthy, many of them have
been confirmed by recent explorations.
Among these are the tales of the pyg-
mics. Aristotle and Pliny state that
dwarfish people lived near the swamps
of the upper part Of the Nile. De Quat-
refages considers this tribe identical
with Schweinfurth's Aka, who at the
present time live little further south.
Pomponius Mela mentions dwarfs who
inhabited the neighborhood of the Red
Sea. This report was confirmed by
Leon des Avancher's discovery of the
dwarfsh Wa Berikomo, who are said
to be only four and one-half feet high,
and by D'Abbadie's visit to the Maze
Mollea, who live little further to the
north.
Herodotus tells of dwWfsh black
people on the banks of the Niger. His
description of the land still holds good;
but, instead of negroes, Berbers and
Tuareg inhabit those regions. At the
present time the most northern place
in West Africa which is inhabited by
dwarfs is Tenda Maize, where they were
met with by Molten in 1918.
Pliny mentions, besides the dwarfs on
the sources of the Nile, others living in
what is now southeastern Belutchistan,
where the Brahui, people of Dravida
lineage, are found, Ktesias speaks Of
pygmies who inhabited Central India.
Mr.. Rousselet found in that region the
dwarfsh Bandra Lok, who live in the
Vindhias Mountains.
De Quatrefages considers all Asiastc
dwarfish tribes as one group, which he
calls Negrito, while the African ones
are called Negrillo. His researches lead
him to the conclusion that the traces of
this race are found from India to the
eastern extremity of New Guinea, and
from Ceylon throughout India, Farther
Inia, the Philippines, to Japan. In most
regions they are mixed with other races.
He considers the Dravida one of the
most characteristic results of this mix
ture. 1t is only on the Andaman
Islands and few other isolated points
that the pure race is still in existence.
The author shows that individuals Of
Negrito type occur among the Pariahs
of India, and that isolated communitie;
in many parts of southeastern Asia
have retained the anthropological char
acter of this dwariish race.
De Quatrefages considers the Negritc
, of all these widely separated region!
one race, which originated i'll southern
Asia. When the yellow race migrated
southwark and the white race eastward
they were compelled to take refuge OIL
the islands and to migrate to NOR
southcrly countries. Thus they popu
lated the Eastern Archipelago ant
crossed to Africa. Science.

Make Her Happy.

Praise your wife, man; for PHYS
sake give her a little encouragement;
it won't hurt her. She doesn't ex-
pect it it will make her eyes open
wider than they have for the last ten
years ; but it will do her good for all
that, and you, too. There are many
women to-day thirsting for a word of
praise and encouragement. You
know that if the floor is clean, labor
has been performed to make it so.
You know that if you can take from
Your drawer a clean shirt whenever
YOU want it, somebody's fingers have
toiled.
Why don't YOU come out with il

make thing llok, wife" or 81 am
