last autumn when took the top apartment

casual friends and then they dropped me,
or rather they dropped and left me up here
among the clouds. My intimates still find
me out at times when they know can see
them, but for the most part I live up here
unmolested, like Hilda among her doves.
The advantages Of these top apartments
have never half been sung. Better air,
better light, less noise, and no one over you
are big weights against simply the effort Of
climbing two or three extra flights. Every
body almost makes the mistake to give the
airiest rooms to the servants, often them
selves sleeping on the ground floor. Not
long ago saw a statement that undoubt-
edly the good health Of servants, in tho
face of severe work, careless eating an

Improvement on Chronometers,

A recent English invention of great i'm
portance to navigators is hermetically
sealed chronometer to prevent the detri-
mental effects of the atmosphere and mois-
ture on the mechanism. The invention con-
sists in hermeticaily closing the casing of
the chronometer, doing away with the key
hole through which the air and the mois-
ture gained access to the works and affect
ing the winding up of the chronometer by
providing flexible or elastic diaphragm.

want of cleanliness often, is due to the fact
that at night their sleeping rooms, usually
at the top of the house, get pure air. And
if one can have ones lungs absorbing good
oxygen during the hours spent in sleep an
enormous handicap in the battle for exist
ence il removed.
The approach of the grape season makes
the suggestion again pertinent to avoid
swallowing the seeds of this luscious fruit.
At first, if one is not accustomed to the
practice, it will seem a little Troublesome,
but very soon no difficulty will be expert
enced. It is significant that in wine coun-
tries, France, Spain and Italy, the peasants
who live among the wines almost univer-
sally avoid swallowing the seeds, and teach
their children at o tender age the same
habit of omission.
Following the suspenders Of her brother,
in which the summer girl has freely in-
duIged, she is now making further inroads
upon his wardrobe. At recent garden
party young woman wore q white silk
tailor-made coat basque, which was per-
feet imitation of the conventional Swallow
taiI' of mans evening dresa In the for
are late novelty, so it may be assumed
that the young woman in question, who had
Just returned from abroad, was forestalling
the coming fashion. The bodice was worn
over a vest buttoned to the throat of rose
bud brocade, and finished with white lace
cravat bow. The skirt was of white lace
net, with some long scarf effects of the bro
cade, and the hat was essentially feminine,
a wide-brimmed leghorn loaded with pink
and white feathers
Stout women are making the same
blunder with the present plain clinging
skirts that they did with the tailor made
gowns. One of the painful sights during
their reign was the large feshy woman who
poured her avoirdupois into glove-6tting
mould which conspicuouslT brought out
every padded contour of her figure; she
resting meanwhile in the comfortable idea
that no extra fullness of cloth meant min
imum of addition to her size. A stout
woman's garments should be fashioned to
conceal the excess of flesh, not lessen 1t.
One OF OscarWilde's ediets in this important
matter is "Drapery is the only refuge of
the fat, and the DeIsarte priestess, Mrs
Russell, says in addition, "Loose folds do
not enlarge, but hide too much flesh"

Automatic Memorandum Clock,

A novelty in clocks is that which is con-
structed to deliver messages or appoint
ments at any desired time. The device
differs in appearance from the ordinary
clock only in that under it's cover is found a
drum divided into sections, and below its
dial is a small receptacle. The messages
are written on tablets and then placed in
the drum on the top of the clock. When
the appointed time arrives the tablet falls
through to the receptacle, and bell is
started which rings until the tablet is re-
moved,

An Ancient Town discovered.

The remains of an ancient town can be
seen q mile west of Atchison, Kan. The
city was inhabited BY a race much more in
telligent than the Indian of the present
time, as pieces of broken pottery containing
figures can be picked up in many places on
the old site. The pottery resembles that
which was made by the Maya race of New
Mexico. The site of the ancient city is on
level tract OF land which is considerably
higher than the other ground in the

Perfumed PekOe Tea.

The tea that is always drunk in nov.
els, orange pekoe, is tea perfumed by
laying orange flowers among the tender
young leaf buds, but not produced in
near sufficient quantities for the de-
mands made upon it by the lady novel;
lists. A new perfumed tea, however, is
being introduced. 1t is called Fayham
tea, and is expected to soon have the
vogue in literature of orange pekoe.
1t is even mere valuable in life, because
it is described as agreeable cold as hot,
and can be used to flavor custards, ices,
while In punch its own aroma is even
more fragrantly distilled by the other in
gradients. Fayhom tea, it seems, is made
of the fiat-dried leaves of white or
child that grows as a parasite in the
forests of Mauritius. 1t botanical name
is Angrecum fragrans. The plant has
long been known, but only recently or
child tea has been introduced in Paris,
where it has since become an article of
commerce. But it is not only as tea
that this parasite is making itself re-
putation, Cigars have also been made
of the leaves, and the vanilla-like odor
they emit is described as worthy the end
of the century. The orchid of all plants
has been hitherto regarded as the most
purely ornamental, as it not feven sup
ports itself. The discovery of variety
that rivals both tea and tobacco on their
own grounds is regarded of economic
importance, and the probability is that
the orchid which belongs TO the very
highest botanical circles, will yet be cul-
tivated and numbered with the crops.

Dust Storms Here and Abroad.

regions in hot weather. They may be
anywhere from rod to several rods in
diameter and from twenty to a thousand
feet high. They are sometimes COM
pound, score or more small whirls
forming whirling ciIcle around a COM
mon centre. They are very common in
India. They sometimes carry up so much
saI d in the Sahara and Arabia that those
on whom the sand fails are overwhelmed.
They occur also in the arid regions of the
United States. In the Magdalena Valley,
across the mountains westward from
Socorro, in New Mexico, during a hot
day in summer they form at the head of
the valley in long, slender, vertical
column, perhaps six hundred feet high,
and then travel down the valley toward
the village of Magdalena, over which
they burst sometimes, bringing little
puffs of contrary winds and shower of
fine dust. In some places group of
stationary whirls of the same general
character as the preceding are tied dowa
to one point. Such are the whirls which
form sometimes over volcanoes. Chicago
