AS you see the fashionable fall woman
approaching. you wonder If she is wear
ing crown upon her head. Her hat is
of q material that looks like FURNISHED
gold or polished brass. It sets closely to
the head in front, and extends upward
as If 1t were going to end, or rather
peak of, = into the regulation top for a
crown. But she isn't wearing any such
mark Of power. She has simply put on
her fall bonnet and Is wearing it, not for
the purpose Of astonishing the natives,
but simply because it is fashionable. If
she is very fashionable woman she has
had piece of her dress material let into
the top Of her FURNISHED gold hat, and
at the very back of the whole affair she
has caused whole field Of brass daisies
to be fastened upright, SO that they nod
upon their why stems and wave to and
fro as their wearer walks or talks, bows
or mods. New York Letter.

A plaln Trutb.

No man has right to marry till, in
every human probability, assured that
he can support a family in His own sta
tion- Mere loveor improvident matches
seldom turn out we'll; poverty comes,
and there is SO much self reproach on
either side that gall is added to its bit
terness; their tempers are soured, and
they soon wish themselves unmarried
But when trials assail an attached, a
reasonable pair, sorrow unites them
closer; the man, feeling how much de-
ponds on him, never flags in his exertion,
and often RECEIVERS the lost step; If not,
there is still consolation in his wife's I'M
varying love-in her sweet, noiseless
sacrifices. In these uncertain times
there are few commercial men who
have not met with reverses, and they
will often say:
Had it not been for those at home
should have blown my brains out; I
could not have stood it."
Wife and children! They are beacon
to us in our troubled sea; we renew the
struggle when ready to sink beneath the
wave, and at last are saved. At the
worst, when all is black-when friends
are cool or reproachful-when the cruel
est doubts assail us--there is still one
who respects and loves us; at home we
are still dear.--New York Ledger.

We A.. Not ! pituitary People.

We Americans are not a military peo-
pie. In view Of our having carved our
way into the wilderness with sword as
well as with ak, Of our having won our
independence by arms. Of our having
come with abundant credit out Of all
our wars, Of having carried through one
Of the most gigantic struggles Of modern
days, In which were fought battles al
most unequaled In tenacity, this may
appear to be an unwarranted statement,
But It is true. 1t requires more than
courage. more than ability to raise, to
equip, to ration. to move and to COM
mand armies to make a military people.
The most splendid conduct in war for
an all absorbing cause does not suffice.
Having many Of the essential qualities,
we yet fall short Of what the Romans
were, the Germans are. Some sections
of the country approach nearer to the
military standard; but taken as whole
our lack Of interest in army and navy.
onr thoroughly unbusinesslike way OF
handling our national problems Of attack
and defense, stamp us as the least mill
tary In our instincts Of all the great peo-
pies Of the earth. Colonel 7. A. Dodge

Among the courageous small birds may
be counted the family Of swallows. The
writer has often seen barn swallows fly
downward and peck at the cat and dog.
and more than once sharp twitter, a
whir Of wings and a peck on the hat has
reminded her, when standing in the barn
door, that she was intruding on swal-
lows precincts.
About half mile from the house Is a
high bank which Is the home Of colony
Of bank swallows. The earth for some
distance is thickly perforated with the
roundish holes leading into their nests
Not far from this bank quantity Of

After running horses. jumping ath-

lightning and the shifting spectral lines
II revolving double stars have been sue
cessfully photographed, the airy soap
bubble has furnished stumbling block
that the scientific photographer has had
great difficulty In surrounding. Lord
Rayleigh. in lecture before the Royal
Institution Of London, said that for
some time it had been his ambition to
photograph soap bubble in the act Of
breaking.
He anticipated great difficulty because
he knew the time occupied in the disap-
pearance Of breaking bubble must be
but small fraction of a second
Whoever has watched brilliant soap
bubble burst knows how instantaneously
it vanishes. Lord Rayleigh thought 1t
might take one-twentieth Of second,
but by repeated experiments he found
that the time occupied in the disappear
ance Of the iridescent film was not more
than one hree-hundredth OF o second.
To catch and picture vanishing film
between the instant Of It's breaking and
that Of its complete extinction proved a
most difficult undertaking. but 1t was
accomplished
Some persons may think that 1t would
be equally difficult to photograph a
lightning flash, but itmust be recollected
that lightning makes an intensely vivid
impression, while the soft reflection Of a
soan bubble Ia evanescent. even Ia the
bright glare Of an electric spark.
