to have been shattered as badly as his

Pure white linen is the rule on al
occasions for table linen
In England the tea gown is of bril-
liant red, whatever the fabric may be.
Russia linen of a heavy quality
makes durable and serviceable dish
towels.
Hemstitched linen sheets are used
by those who can afford luxuries, with
pillow cases and bolster cases finished
with hemstitching to match.
Quite new and very effective is tor
toise shell jewelry set with diamonds.
Brooches, cuff-buttons and earrings
are all represented in designs that
follow more or less closely the patterns
seen in gold and silver iewelry.
Middle-aged ladies have their full
drees toilets of black velvet or MORE
cut with half high eorsage, inside of
which is gathered a guimpe of black
net or tulle which comes up close about
the throat, where it is completed by a
high collar of MORE or velvet.
As yet both the earrings and ear
knobs incline to be rather small in
size. Often they are merely a small
stone set in simple frame work of gold,
again, they are cluster of fine gems,
and yet again they are little gold
knot or a gold flower, fly or other di-
minutive object.
Cheese straws are a new wrinkle at
dinner parties The cheese comes in
long sticks like macaroni and one end
is tied with a narrow strip of ribbon.
These cheese straws were first intro

Water Chaprcd 10 I,leol.

There IS an animalcule, sometimes
called the englena sanguinea. OI the
blood red englena, which multiplics so
rapidly in some places that the surface
Of the pool soon resembles a great clot Of
blood, to the wonder Of those who see it
for the first time, and do not suspect the
cause. The little creature seems to be
abundant all over the known world, aud
Ehenberg, d German naturalist. who
dis, overcd and named it. suggested that
the first plague of Egypt. when the water
was apparently changed into blood, as
narrated in the Bible, may have been
caused by prodigious and miraculous
increase OF this little blood red infuso-
rian.
Within very recent times an apparent
change of water into blood has come to
the writer's notice in the White mount
aims, in northern New York, and in sew
eral places in New Jersey. The phe-
nOmenon is not very rare. The creature
that causes this change has itself pecu-
liar color habit according to its age, In
early youth and middle life its color is 0
vivid green; in matuity and old age it
assumes the crimson hue referred to, and
often the same individual may be both
green and red as either color reaches the
surface during the body's movement,
each coming and going in wave that
flows across the little creature, or a
minute spot may be rosy red in the gem

pear in this miniature sea Of crimson

A Festival Amona AIasl,ans,

The tribes Of North Sound hold a festival
every year in October or November in MEM
ory of deceased kinsmen, and Petron thus
describes the performances: AT sunset the
men assemble in the kashga, and, after a
hurried bath, ornament each other by trac-
ing various figures on the naked back with IA
mixture of oil and charcoal. Two BOYS who
for this occasion are respectively named the
raven and the hawk, are in attendance, mix
ing the paint, etc. Finally, the faces also
are thickly slneared; and then the females
are summoned into the kashga. After a
brief lapse Of time a noise is heard, shrieks
and yells snorting and roaring; and the
disguised men, emerging from the firehOle,
show their heads above the floor, blowing
and putting like seals. It is impossible to
distinguish any complete human figure, as
some are crawling with their feet foremost,
others running ON their hands and feet while
the head of another is seen protruding be-
tween the legs Of a companion. They all
cling together and move in concert like one
immense snake.
A number Of men wear masks represent
ing the heads of animals, and the unsightly
beings advance upon the spectators, but
chiefly endeavOring to frighten the women,
who have no means Of escaping molestation
except by buying of the actors with pres
ents Knowing what was before them, they
have brought the lSantags or wooden bowls
full Of delicious morsels-belpga bluhbor,
walrus meat, whale oiled berries and other
dainties. When each Of the maskers has
eaten and filled a bowl or two with delicacics
to take home, they indulge in pantomme
and gesture play Of highly grotesque char
acter. After completing the ceremony in
the keshga. the niasbers frequently visit
some of the dwellings, and receive gifts in
each, the whole performance ending with
singing, dancing and feasting in the kashga :"

cause of pecar IN stsel.

II has recently been discovered BY a
boardof naval experts at the United States
navy yard, Mares Island, Cal, that the
cause Of the sudden deterioration in tho
steel used in building the new cruisers
for the government is not due to the
ravages Of a worm, as was supposed,
but is caused by the fungus peronOsporus
infestans, SO well known as the cause of
potato rot.
With the delicate apparatus procured
by the government for testing the quali-
ties and detecting fraud in metals IN
tended for government uses, it has been
ascertained that the minute spons or suds,
which float in the air, arc introduced into
the metallic body while in the molten
state during the process of carbopization.
They also find shat this form of steel rot
is alarmingly epidemic in much of the
government material.
A large and profitable field is open to
inventors and scientific men who will de-
wise means to arrest the spores Of thia
fungus as they are drawn into tho car
bombing furnaces, or who can prevent
their growth and spread either in the
ingot or manufactured forms of STEEL
