The dot above the only changes with your
character"
Here are some conclusions which the
authority quoted says the ladies may draw
from the telltale dot:
If you often forget to dot your You viii
also forget other things which seem unim-
portant to you, but which for the comfort
Of everyday life are as necessary as the dot
is to the i. If you have often to look in vain
for the dot you will also look often in vain
for other things, because you have not put
them in their proper place. For instance.
you put the fifth knitting needle into your
book because you were suddenly called
away and no better book mark WAS at
hand. You were anxious to finish your
sock-where is the fifth needles The serv-
ant girl must have mislaid it while dust

needle breaches silent sermon to you.

from the letter to which it belongs, your
hopes, thoughts, wishes and aspirations are
apt to fly about in far off regions, and in
stead of making practical use of the pres

future. II this 'high flown" dot is of al

it, the loops of your |, h, 6, +, etc, are loose

Oliver Goldsmith as II Married Man.
Pail Mall Budget tells that while rum
maging among the parochial archives o
| Islington Mr. Edward Davey, clerk of tn,
| guardians, has found an old book which
| gives some interesting facts about the ia
| nous metropolitan district as it existed a
| the beginning of the present century
| Among other things it contains the censu
return for Islington in 1901. The parish il
| described as "a merry village adjacent t,
| London, and favorite resort for its citi
| Zens," and the population is given as 10,
121. Now its inhabitants number 35S, 600
| Another entry in the curious volume ha
raised startling controversy among loca
| antiquaries. The genial Oliver Goldsmith
is generally supposed to have lived ant
died bachelor. In Islington another ira
dition exists. 1t is to the effect that no
only had Oliver little habitatiou there
where he spent good deal of his time, bu
by his neighbors he was regarded as re
| spectacle married citizen. In the recent,
| found book occurs the name of Mary Oil
via Goldsmith, and it is stated that thi
was none other than the poets daughter.
Insect Products.
| While insect products are not numerous
in comparison with the number of insects
of which there are nearly 100000 specie
known, there are several of great CONNER
cial value. The silkworm is the most use
| full of insects, furnishing the world an an
nuai pr luct of immense value. TIL,
| yearly value of the cochineal produce rum
| to millions, while many of the gum
brought from the east are produced by tn,
insects piercing the banks of certain trees
and thus causing the emulation. Tn,
quantity of honey annually stored up b,
bees. amounts to many millions of pounds
and the wax is almost equally valuable
Gallnuts, from which valuable kind o
ink is made, are caused by insects, Will
more than one kind is used in medicine
IN some parts of Asia and Africa IA larg
share of the peoples food is supplied b,
the swarms of locusts, SO that the insec
world really contributes largely both to tn
| comfort and luxury of mankind.
