An lnaeni0us PRIMER.

A story is told of Prague printer
who got himself out of a very disa-
greeabIc dilemma by the use of his in
genious mind. He was once called
upon to print report of tho Board of
Trade Of his native city in the two
languages of the country, German and
Czech, and the representatives of
either nationality strenuously desired
that their tongue should occupy the
first of the parallel columns on each
page. The wary printer got out of his
dilemma by turning one column up
side down throughout the book and
arranging the titles accordingly, SO
that each language had front solumn
on every page. -.Harper's Young Peo-
pie.

ON zEPHYR-LIKE HATS.

Sword grass makes up into smart
bows for the adorning of plant,
zephyr-like summer hats, and being so
good an imitation OF the natural va.
riety, is in excellent taste. One rarely
or never sees now the straw plait
medo In such very poor imitation Of
ribbon. 1t did not merit popularity,
and quickly lost the little favor which
as a novelty 1t temporarily enjoyed.
Few really stylish milliners nova.
days use artificial flowers which do not
correspond to those in season. Glover,
therefore, replaces lilac and roses,
heliotrope, honey-suckle, and pink
and white sweet pea blossoms are sub
stituted for ionquils, tulips, violcts,
and other spring blossoms. New York

A BOON To ELDERLY LADIES.

Elderly ladies who prefer black to
colors will hail the return of tho
duchesse gown. It is such q bright.
handsome fabric, and adjusts itself SO
well to the figure, and is none too fine
for every day service. Indeed. ne the
old settlers say, you can wear it to
mill or to market. 1t is just the thing
to wear in this electrical age, and if
you happen to spill cup of ten or
coffee over the front breadths. Won
uIr unu the saEfh VIII
never show q crease. Formerly when
this goods was used it had II stiff effect
but probably that was on account of n
lack of trimming. But we gild the
rose and paint the lily in our day, and
wide lace bretelles will add beauty to
q handsome satin gown. One reason
why this fabric is again popular is
that the coming outside garment will
be jacket, and satin is the only ma.
terial that will slip easily into the
jacket sleeves. Free Press.

To Help Farmers Move Their Crops

To Help Farmers Move Their Crops
New ORLEANS, LA. The New Orleans
clearing house association met and took
action on the proposition to issue clearing
house certificates for spall sums to TAX,
the place of currency. The recent action
of the banks left the planters, who have
no money to have their crops moved, in
the lurch. A plan to overcome this state
of fairs was rendered advisable. After
discussion the following plan was adopt.
ed:
Issue certificates nf a~r..is w pcIaons
having money on deposit, payable to
themselves or bearer in sums OF IS, $40,
$50 or more; mixing the certificates pay
able through the Clearing house.
The members were unanimous ia tn,
belief that this plan would give the re
quired relief, not only to planters but to
business men as we'll. The certificates
will be just as good as money, and can be
as widely circulated.

Hung at the Gird,e.

In the Middle Ages at the girdlc
were hung the tbousand-and-one odds
and ends needed and utilized in every
day affairs. The scrivener had his
inkhorn and pen attached to it, the
scholar his book or books, the monk
his crucifx and rosary, the innkcepcr
his tallies and everybody his knife.
SO many and so various were the ar
ticles attached to it that the flippant
began to poke fun.
In an old play there is mention of
merchant who had hanging at his gir-
die pouch, spectacle case, "pun-
niard," pen and inkhorn and "a
handkerchief, with many other trink-
cts besides, which merry companion
seeing, said it was like n haberdashcr'
shop of small wares" In another
early play lady says to her maid:
"Give me my girdle, and see that all
the furniture be at it; look that
cizers, pincers, the penknife, the knife
to close letters with, the bodkin, the
earpicker, and the scale be in the
case"
Girdles were in somo respects like
the chatelaines not long ago so much
the rage among ladies; but they diff
fered therefrom n-being more. useful,
more comprehensive in regard both to
sex and to articles worn, and, wher
completely furnished, more costly. II
is partly for this last reason that we
find girdles bequeathed as precious
heirlooms and as valuable presents to
keep the giver's memory green after
death. They we're not infrequently
of great intrinsic value.
One of King Johns girdles was
wrought with gold and adorned with
gems; /; and that of the widow of Si,
Thomas Hungerford, bequeathed in
1904 to the mother church of Wor-
cester, was of green color, harnesset
with silver and richly jeweled. Cham

with them, thus ta<i9 It out of circula-
tion, and they propole toilet the farmer
