Woman,r Power.

Many Of the more desirable social
changes that have taken place have been
brought about by women. They are nat
urally more deeply interested in home sf-
fairs than men. These being at the bot
tom of all social advancement and re-
forms, it Is quite clear that 10 the women
Is due a large share Of credit for the So
cial advancement of any nation. Her
exalted position in this country accounts
for the improved social condition Of
which we are inclined to boast when
where she is still regarded as being great

Orange RIossom..

A Spanish legend would seem TO claim
for that romantic land of hidalgOs and
senoritas the origin of the bridal orange
blossoms. "One of the Spanish kings"
so runs the legend. had an imported
orange tree, of which he was very proud,
and of which the French ambassador
was extremely anxious to obtain a slip.
The gardeners daughter was poor, and
requiring dowry in order to marry her
lover she obtained cutting of the orange
tree and sold it to the diplomat for a
high price, afterward wearing a wreath
of the blossoms at her wedding in rec
ognition of the plant to which she owed
her happiness"

How Victoria Eats.

Queen Victoria has evidently pondered
well on the saying that man must eat
TO live. AT Balmoral, where she lives
in the simplest possible way, she begins
ner day at o'clock with tea, chocolate
or coffee and dry toast. At $3.50 she has
breakfast, small trout freshly caught
from the River Dee being an invariable
dish. AT 1890, after her morning outing,
she has little soup and a little refresh
ment-an egg beaten up in milk, some
soup and a little fruit. She lunches at 2.
Later in the afternoon there is the in
variable afternoon tea, and between
and dinner is served. Thus on six
meals a day does her majesty manage
to sustain NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

HELIOCHROMOSCOP - INVENTOR.
ever been done in this respect, and 1t is
very wonderful, is the so-called "compo-
site helichromy'' of Mr.. Frederic Ives of
Philadelphia.
In this process three pictures are taken
simultaneously on one plate. thror gh col
ored screens of special construction, by
means of which each image is made to
represent one of the three fundamental
color sensations produced on the eye.
These three images are superimpoSed one
on another by a triple optical lantern, or
construction called the ''heliochromO-
scope" of Mr.. Ives's own invention, by
means of which the original object is
shown not only in apparent relief, as in
the familiar steroscope, but also in the
exact colors and shades of nature.
These pictures. speaking vulgarly, are
not colored photographs. The three act
Ual images on each plate are black and
white as usual, with a difference merely
as regards the distribution of light and
shade in each; it is only when they are
combined and when the proper cOndi-
tions are restored that the illusory eff
fects of color are given.
The heliochromoscope is a small square
box with an eyepiece, somewhat resem-
bling a camera. In exhibiting specimens,
after turning the instrument toward the
light, Mr.. Ives slipped in front of it what
appeared to be an ordinary Photographic
negative with three pictures on it ar
ranged in trefoil. This, however, was
not a negative, but a simple positive
taken on glass instead of paper. The
images were not colored. but merely diff
fered from one another in regard to the
arrangement of light and shade.
On putting ones eye to the eyepieCe
there appeared in full relief an absolute
ly perfect representation of a dish Of
fruit: glossy red apples. notified yellow
bananas and a lucious bunch Of green
grapes covered with a tempting bloom
that made ones mouth water more than
all the efforts of Dutch genre painters
could ever do. Several similar objects
followed; then came photographs of col
ored pictures, of oil paintings, Of Swiss
scenery, in all the living colors Of ma
ture.

Conspicuous Garments.

It is such mistake for a person who
is limited as to wardrobe TO buy any
garment that is very conspicuous. The
novelty soon gets worn off, and one is
so identified with it,
! remember a pretty little acquaint-
ance of mine without much money who
purchased long, bright blue cloak that
was to last her two winters
oh, how sick she got of that cloak.
One could sight her three blocks up
Broadway, where she stood OUT as
much as black cat would in a snow
drift
She had to get 1T dyed for her second
winter. but even then she never liked TO
wear it, We seldom have any respect
for dyed garments. We know them and
fear that every one else does too.-N. Y.

Woman Guards Herself Nowadays.
