Do Women or Fashions Changer

In an apothecary's window in New
York is heap of the vinaigrettes that
were in use four or more years ago. They
are of cut glass, from twelve to fourteen
inches long, an inch thick, and of the
weight of policeman's night stick.
They are eloquent of the eccentricities OF
fashion, for whereas women paid many
dollars to get one only the other day, so
to speak, no lady would carry one the
length of an avenue block today for five
times as much money. The same moral
is pointed by picture that was famous
sixteen years ago. 1t is Arthur Lumley's
sketch of two rival schools meeting on
Fifth avenue. The beauty of the school
girls in that, picture gave the picture
great eclat. Today the girls look like
dreadful guys. Their queer hats, their
waterfalls and their balloon skirts con-
denim the work as picture of something
preposterous. -San Francisco Argonaut

A lady who is known to be an ex-
tremist in many of her views gravely
told the following dream over the coffee
the other morning to the great amuse-
ment of her husband and some friends,
who declared it essentially feminine and
characteristic of her sex.
She dreamed that she had died, and
in the interval before the freed spirit
made its way heavenward she was an
unseen observer and listener to all that
took place in the room in which the
poor clay she had so recently inhabited
lay. She was touched with the devotion
of her mother, who, like Mary of old
was always first and last beside the body
soon to find sepulture, also intensely in
terested in the arguments for or against
cremation this having been her OWL
pet theory, which her friends held forth
in the presence of her disembodied spirit,
and longing to depart with the celestial
throng awaiting her, yet mortified and
thrilled ON the threshold of heaven by
the fact that, craven on her casket plate,
her age was given as forty-nine instead
of thirty-two.-U tica Herald.

like powder and the windows which had
been left open on all sides of the cupola
acted as fues, the flames shooting from

And why on some still lakes it begins

enigmas this wise: Ice is specifically
lighter than water just about TO freeze
and, therefore. floats in it This Il
one reason why the formation OF ice
usually begins at the surface An

The general law is that cold induces
expansion; this law holds good With
water only to a certain point When
water has cooled down TO within "a

tract as before with increase of cold
and begins 70 expand till it freezes
This expansion causes the colder

times called. Is the only exception to
the rule given above The whole body
