The difference may be and probably is
merely one OF size and velocity. Ac-
cording to this view the cometic me-
teors are small and more swift; while
the masses which reach the earth are
much larger aud moved independently
and less rapidly. The meteor, or shoot
ing star, is supposed to enter our atmos-
phere at an average rate of about twen-
ty-6ve miles second, appearing at an
elevation of about seventy-five miles and
traversing distance of forty or fifty
miles, becoming entirely consumed by
the great heat generated. Most meteor
ties are also entirely consumed before
they reach the earth, but they move only
a few miles second aud usually pene-
trate close to the crust of the earth.
The most remarkable which have fallen
in this country during the present CEN
tury and of which fragments have been
found are those which fell at the follow
ing places: Weston, Conn, 1907;
Bishopsville, 8. c., 1843; Cabarrus
County, N. c., 1919; New Concord,
Ohio, 1850; Amana, Iowa, 1875, and
Emmett County, Iowa, 1869. In sew
eral cases hundreds of fragments tell
ranging in size from half an ounce to
500 pounds. There is no record of any
one being killed or of any great damage
done by meteorite.-New York Tri-

Three Little Princes.

OF the daily life of the three eldest
Imperial Princes our Berlin correspond
ent writes: The princes, as is generally
known, are very simply an strictly
brought up. Every day, summer and
winter, they get up at seven in the morning
and have breakfast at quarter to eight,
consisting of tea and rolls. The meal
never lasts more than a quarter of an
hour. Punctually at eight their lessons
begin. The Grown Prince, as well as
the Princes Fritz and Adalbert, are each
taught separately, but for some hours the
Crown Prince and Prince Fritz are
taught together. The Crown Prince,
who is most jealous, and takes all his
lessons in earnest, is much further adj
vanced than his two brothers. The
play hours during the morning are filed
up with gymnastics, games of ball, dig
glng, ETC., in the playground. near the
right wing of the New Palace. At a
quarter to ten they take luncheon sand
witches, claret, aud natural mineral
water, which beverage is much drunk at
the Imperial table.
After lunch they again have lessons
for short time, and then take their
riding lessons, either in the riding school
in bad weather, or in fine weather out of
doors. The Crown Prince, who is an
excellent rider, with firm seat, has
lately begun to ride. His white horse,
stAbdul," which he received on his
birthday from the Emperor, is hand
some large Arabian, with long tail and
thick name, Of faultless build, proud
bearing and most graceful step. After
their riding lessons they sometimes take
ride in the neighborhood Of the New
Palace, accompanied by the Grown
Princes Military Governor, Major Won
Falkenhayn. The Princes Fritz and
Adalbert accompany the Grown Prince
on their ponies, and it is pretty sight
to see the younger ones trying to keep
up with their elder brother. They very
often take drive in their pony carriage.

basket carriage is drawn by white
pony, hung all over with silver bells,

Tn. Growth Of Berlin.

Berlin is enlarging its boundaries, and
suburban towns are to be taken into the
city within short time which will give
it q population of more than 5000, 600.
This will make it the second city Of the
world, for Paris has less then 2,501, 900
aud New York and Brooklyn together
counted up by the last census only
2,250. 900. Berlin has grown like q
green bay tree since the Franco -Prussian
war, and there is no city in the United
States which has increased so fast In
population. Ia 1850 she had less than
500, 900 people, and before she went to
war with France she had only 750. 900.
After the war the people docked In from
all parts of Germany, new houses were
built everywhere and, and, on the basis
of the 81, 900, 600, 900 which Germany
was to receive from France, the capital
had great boon. It had panic in
1873, but it recovered from this and it
has been growing steadily from that
time to this. It now covers the area of
twenty five 640-acre farms and the Spree
Valley, upon which it is built, is as fiat
a floor. It is built on a sort of sandy
plain and the Spree River runs through
it, and there are canals and arms OF
this which cut up the city and which
are covered with beautiful bridges.
There is NO place in the world where
you find such uniformity of good build
ings. The houses are of vast size, and
you can drive for miles through broad,
well-paved streets which are walled
with three, four and fve-story houses.
all looking clean and neat. The most of
these houses are Of brick, covered with
stucco, and it is only in the old parts OF
the city that you find any monstrosities
in architecture. Chicago Herald.

able an element in finishing as to create
an almost overwheling demand, it con-
tinues to hold its own place in the world
of personal adornment as well. To be
sure, neither the gowns nor the bonnets
of mature women are extensively trimmed
with ribbons as at other seasons they
have been, but that may well be regarded
as an evidence of good taste and dis
elimination. The ribbon is essentially
youthful trimming, and upon young
girls hats and in conjunction with lace
and flowers upon the evening gowns OF
the younger women, will always claim
the recognition it deserves. For the
present and the coming season there are
some very charming arrangements shown.
The large nats and jaunty hats that are
so well suited to girls in their teens are
trimmed with simply stupendous bows.
The bodices designed for home wear are
wonderfully tasteful with their multi
tude of narrow straps and graceful loops
and ends and the fillets of ribbon worn
upon the hair have quite classic effect.
Some OF the hats show combinations of
loops and ends that defy description,
some are held in place with handsome
buckles, and others again are simple, as
best suits the years of the gills for
whom they are designed. They must be
large and ample, they must run straight
up into the air and all the loops and ends
must be held in place by wires hidden
from mortal view, but beyond these four
laws individual taste is allowed full
sway.
The ribbon bodice, which is the very
latest yet devised, consists Of number
Of straps which start at intervals from
covered bone in the front and are drawn
down and up to one point Of the belt on
each side. A bow is sewed fast at every
point formed in the front on the belt, at
each side, and again in the back, SO that
the girls who wear them are all one fut-
ter Of loops and ends. They are very
pretty and youthful, however. and are
certain to find favor so long as the house
blouse effects continue to hold their
place.
For the hair ribbons are justnow high
in favor with all but the very sedate,
who believe that the hair alone Is the
best adornment for the head. They are
used in narrow bands to form fillets that
hold the hair in place, and they are made
into bows which finish a band of gems,
but somehow they are used by nearly all
the women who claim to keep pace with
fashion and her whims. Chicago News
Record.

NAPoLEoN's MOTHER.

Public attention does not seem to have
been directed towards Napoleon's mother
until her SON was proclaimed Emperor
in 1904. She then received the title OF
Nine. Mere and an income of 5000, 600
was settled lponher And that she
might have q position of political i'm
portance, she was made Protectrice
Generale of all the charitable institu-
sions of France. Such an Office admira.
bly, suited her. She frequently solicited
favors OF her son for others, and was
happy whenever her exertions met with
success.
On one occasion, upon learning of the
arrest of the Due d d'Enghien, she even
threw herself upon her knees before Ne
poleon, impioring mercy for the unfor-
tunate Prince. In her tender anxiety
she thus laid aside that habitual dignity
which the following incident illustrates: ]:
Soon alter Napoleon's assumption Of the
imperial purple he CHANGED 70 meet his
mother in the gardens of st. Cloud.
He was surrounded by courtiers, and
half playfully held out his hand for her
to kiss. ssNot so, my SON." she gravely
replied, at the same time presenting her
hand in return; lit is your duty to kiss
the hand OF her who gave you life."
After this, it seems pity that truth

great woman had one httleness, If we
may call it so, Of character. She

FASHION NOTES.

Winter ulsters appear in variety OF
attractive guises.
Bats wings are among the new fancies
for hat trimmings.
Princess gowns continue to be favored
by graceful women.
Bonnets remain small, with close sides
and small cup crowns.
Bonnets remain small, with close sides
and tiny old Dutch crowns.
Wide collars Of jet are coming in, and
will be seen on cloth dresses,
A bride should mark her linen with
the initials of her maiden name.
French merinos are no longer strictly
fashionable, but are much used for max
ing house gowns, tea jackets, lonnglng
robes, etc.
Marine fringe is new trimming from
Paris, and it is made of small, colored
shells, fastened on narrow bands of black
velvet ribbon.
Large, curve-brim Eats, tally-ho
brooches, patent-leather shoes and two
toned stockings are unique concessions
to existing style.
Half-trimmed skirts, very full at the
back, with broad ruches of pi pinked-out
silk, gauze, or tulle, will be fas hionably
worn for evening dress.
White brocaded satin petticoats,
trimmed with soft founces of white lace,
are worn with bridal and evening gowns.
White taffeta silk is also used.
Pale blue and black are much used in
combination. There are many charming
ways of remodelling an old black silk
with few yards Of background fancy
silk.
A bride may wear her wedding gown
at the first dinner party she attends after
the ceremony. Her veil and orange
blossoms, however, are never worn
again.
Corsages are now pretty generally
made with the back in one piece, slightly
gathered at the middle of the waist-line,
OF with a simple fiat fold down the
middle.
The Norfolk jacket, so long a favorite
for boys, has returned in checks and
plaids, and shows the top somewhat
long wasted, with matching knicker-
bockers.
Slippers to wear with party frocks are
OF satin Of the same color as tho gown,
and are ornamented with sandal straps
over the inftep. These straps are fire.
quently adorned with self-colored rhine
stone buckles.
The guimpe top for waists il generally

will be less seen in day dresses than In
street attire, it will still not be excluded
at once, nor Immediately relegated to
evening gowns only.
Immense Empire bows with buckles Of
sparkling Irish diamonds in the centre
are net upon large round hats Of 6ne
French felt or velvet. Other large Alsa-
tian bows Of ecru-tinted guipure lace have
an edge Of narrow dark fur along the

give the opinion on this subject of a
Partisan woman of the world who has
very decided views on all things relating
to dress. Her views on the short waist
are contained in the following fragment
of dialogue she had with the head OF
one of the firms of fashionable dress
makers in Paris:

world shall induce me to wear your EN-
pire dress!"
tsBut, Madame -"
ssYour waist line under the arlni Why,
it is preposterous. On trying on the
costume you sent me last month found
to my horror that looked like big
baby in it. You know I wrote to you at
once saying that should never make
such fright of myself; and now, as
soon as enter your place, you propose
to make another such gown for me. 1t
is madnessl"
ssBut, Madame"
ssNo, sir, no. You have had your
own way little too long, you dress
makers, and you have begun to think
that we shall fall in with all your
caprices. But let me tell you that We
will not -aucun prix submit to the EN-
pire dress. So do not say anything
more. I have said my last word. -"

The new color-for outdoor wear, al

~ the models in gowns, bonnets and
cloaks have come out in it, and an
elaborate visiting dress of French de-
sign, in deep shade of purple-faced
cloth, has three bands of dark brown
fur round the skirt, placed several inches
apart, and yoke and sleeves of black
velvet. Hitherto this color has not been
popular with anybody except few old
ladies who are devoted to it.-New York

SECRET OF CLEANING SUEDE GLOVES.
It is to be regretted that the processes
for cleaning suede gloves in this country
are still SO crude. There is a process for
cleaning these gloves in Germany, by
which they are actually improved. They
acquire by this method an exquisite
softness Of texture and retain all their
fine bloom Of color, while not one par
ticle of odor of the cleansing fluid re-
mains. Why cannot this process be in
troduced in this country2 It is trade
secret, known only to Berlin houses, that
American cleaners return gloves stiffened
in texture, and so spotted that they make
but sorry appearance, and proclaim by
their odor at once that they have been
cleaned2-New York Tribune.
