Story Of = Famous Ballad.

The famous ballad Of "Auld Robin
Gray" was written by Lady Anne Lind
ray, daughter Of the Earl Of Balcarres,
when she was twenty-one years old, but it
was not till fifty years later that she told
how she came to write it. Robin Gray
was . shepherd on her fathers farm and
for something he had done she wished to
immortalize him. So she began this bal
lad, but before she finished 1t she asked
her little sister for her advice about It.
She said she was making ballad about
distress in humble life; she was bringing
sorrows upon her heroine's head; she had
sent her jamie to sea, broken her fathers
arm, caused her mother to fall i'll and
given her auld Robin Gray for lover.
But / want to have fifth sorrow. Now
what shall dor" "Steal the COO, Annie, I"
was the little girls reply. And accordingly
Lady Anne completed the round Of Jea-
MES troubles by having ''the cow stolen
away"

Here are two sketches Of recently i'm.
ported Paris hats. The one with the tall
crown is made of velvet Of two shades
pink and green. The crown is pink, with
q band Of oriental embroidery round it,
and the lining of the brim is Of the same
shade. The rest Of the hat Is green. and
on the left side are large bow, twp orna-
mental gold pins and an ostrich feather.
Most of the new hats seen, by the bye, have
been of velvet or felt, or both, and lavishly
trimmed with feathers The second hat il
distinctly novel as regards the arrange
ment of the feathers at the side. It is felt
of lovely shade of brown, with black
band of velvet round the crown, covered
with bead embroidery and long black feath'
ers.
Feathers are tremendously fashionable

Of wearing them. Among close fitting

October the Wine Month.

October was the eighth month Of the so
called 'year Of Romulus,~ abut became the
tenth when (according to tradition) Numa
changed the commencement of the year to
the LIST Of January. October preserved its
ancient name, Notwithstanding the at
tempts made by the Roman senate and the
emperors CommodM and Domitian, who
substituted for q time the terms Faustinus,
1nvictus, Domitianus. Many Roman and
Greek festivals fell to be celebrated in this
month. the most remarkable Of which was
the sacrifice at Rome of horse (Which was
called October) to the god Mars. The
name is from the Latin octo, eight. Among
the Saxons it was styled Wyn-monath, or
the wine month.

THE STRAWBERRY.

Some Interesting Facts About Its Early
History.
The wild strawberry is very widely
diffused over the surface of the earth,
being found in the chill regions Of the
north, as well as in the sunny climes OF the
south. It is not a tropical plant. however,
and except on mountain sides is not found
south Of latitude 50 degs. north. On the
European continent it grows from Lapland
and the Shetland isles to Italy and Greece.
It is also found throughout western Asia,
but is unknown In China and Japan. It
has grown abundantly on the bleak hills
of Iceland for centuries. It IL found In
America from Labrador and British
Columbia to the pine woods Of the south
ern states and on the highlands Of Mexico
and the Andes. The hardy plant, with its
tiny scarlet berry, may be said to girdle
the earth on the line Of the polar circle,
and several hundred miles southwark, ex-
cent that it Is not found in the basin OF the
river AMOR. in Siberia
Though history and story are alike silent
as to the cultivation of the strawberry in
early times. we know that the fruit was
we'll known in England in the Fifteenth
century. Shakespeare has three illusions

of Ely, in illustration of the good qualities
which the young king possessed, In spite
Of his wild habits and Objectionable COM
panions, says:
The strawberry grows underneath the nettle.
And wholesome berries thrive and ripen best
Neighbored by fruit Of baser quality.
The reference here is obviously to the wild
berry. But in the play Of Richard LIZ
strawberries are spoken of as growing in
the Bishop Of Ely's garden at Holborn,
and this seems to show that the berry
was cultivated with considerable care as
early as the latter part Of the Fifteenth
century, though Haydn's Dictionary Of
Dates" asserts that the common straw.

ders in $780, It is curious to note that 10(
years after the crafty Richard begged some
of the bishops strawberries we find a de-
scription of garden at Holborn, the prop
erty Of the rich barber surgeon, Gerard,
wherein four kinds Of strawberries

allusion to this fruit is in reference to the
i'll fated handkerchief of Desdemona, which
was spotted with Strawberries"

Latest Styles in Lingerie.

The narrow tuckings appear on almost
everything and are q great addition to the
many pretty frills now introduced on
niRhtgowns. The newest make in these Is
the wide cape frill with sash at the waist
formed of narrow ribbon carried through
straps Some of these frillings are edged
with color which are hemstitched on to
the material. They mostly have frills at
the hem. The chemises have turned down
flaps, generally tucked and intermixed
with lace, which are intended to fall over
the stays-an excellent idea. White mus
lin petticoats for full dress are often
trimmed with deep hounces edged with
spotted net. which washes well.

The announcement in THE Sun that thers

New York Baseball Club caused considerable
talk among devotees Of the national game. It

thorough reorganization OF the club was alb
solutely necessary. and that the sooner 1t was
done the better for all concerned.
The heavy stock owners. who decided on the
shaking up. are now casting about for q

club and it's affairs. Some OF tho men inter-
ested favor tho election OF O now President
who will have complete charge OF tho club,
while others lean toward tho plan OF putting
matters In tho hands Of Manage Powers.
1t can be definitely stated that E b. Talcott
will not accept the Presidency. It is held by
many Of tho stockholders that Powers hardly
had Q fair chance last season and should have
. full and free opportunity. The report that
any OF the directors have expressed disap.
proyal OF Powerss course 10 unfounded.
The financial outlook OF the club Is much
brighter Stockholders are sending In assess-

that enough will be realized to put the organi-

There is every prospect that the clubs affairs
