The rsral,l Work of Fashion.

Fashion makers. like poets, are born,
not made. 1t is not the great artists or
the leading society ladies, not even the
famous beauties, any more, that make
the mode. They introduce it, indorse
it, realize its possibilities, and all the
world follows. But the real inventor Of
modes, like the inventors of other mar
vols, live unhonored and die unsung.
while the other fellow gets the benefit.
They are quiet women or men, unknown
to the fashionable clientele, employed by
leading business houses to puzzle out
week after week something new and
startling, to evolve from their inner con-
sciousness effective novelties to catch
the fancy Of rich and capricious women
animated by q desire to outshine their
kind.
And these quiet women are playing a
great part in the cultivation of the beau
tifnl and the encouragement of art.
Why should it be accounted as less an
art to minister unto the taste for the
beautiful in the dress of women than in
the elevation of the ideal in fine build
ings or exquisite hangings and decora-
tions, save only that the art of dress has
no perpetuity, no fixed and unalterable
standard of excellence?-New York Sun.

ON LlFE,s BANQUET STAIRS.

We pass each other on life's banquet stairs;
Now guests are mounting to the festal light,
Whilo we descend together to the night,
Close muiiled 'gainst the outside wintry airs. I
They tread upon our shadows as they climb
With quick. strong steps TO Join the crowd
and crush.
We see in sparkling eyes and speaking blush
How expectation gilds the coming time.
Young forms go by us, tossing rosy sprays,
In brave apparel, tiEts of flower and bird,
OF blossom patches By the summer stirr'd,
With sheen of silk and gems that scatter rays,
Knew we such zest, true heart. when mount
Ng up?
Sucn haste t. lift the chslice to our lips,
10 learn il pleasure sweeter is in sips
Or when, with manhood's thirst, we drain the
cup?
Shall VIC stand by and carp at these and say:
"Go, giddy ones and mothlike fire your
wings.
Pleasure is pain, and laughter sorrow
brings?"
Shall we speak thus who once were young as
they?
FAREWELL We've supp'd. Life's wine was keen
and bright
Old friends move by and gain the outer door:
The wind blows butfets with northern roar,
And past the shadows CLEANS the distant light

Eat bananas and Turn Brunette.

Those who eat heartily of bananas may
run some risk of becoming tawny or
copper colored. This may be inferred
possibly from the peculiarities of plum
age in the turacos of Africa. As long
as the weather is dry these birds are gay,
the primary and secondary feathers be-
ing gorgeously crimson, but when rain
comes the color is washed out, and the
birds seem to be humiliated and ashamed
at the transformation. But the color
returns in dry weather The cause of
the coloration has been traced to copper
in very pure state. A single feather
burned gives the characteristic indica-
tion. The source of the turacin has now
been traced to bananas, on which the
turacos feed chiefly. All the aborigines
who make bananas diet are very deep
ly tinted, but the color is sooty rather
than red. The North American Indian
cannot owe his coppery hue to bananas.
He has only known of this fruit on reser-
vations and chiefly by the peelings.-

Making Marble Out of Chalk.

In nature marble is made out of chalk
by water, which percolates through the
chalky deposits, dissolves the chalk par
ticle by particle and crystallizes it. noun
tain pressure solidifying it. 1t has been
found that similar results may be ac-
comphshed by chemical means. First,
slices of chalk are dipped in a color
bath, staining them with tints that will
initiate any kind of marble known. For
this purpose the same mineral stains are
used as are employed in nature. For
example, to produce counterfeit ''verde
antique oxide of copper is utilized. In
like manner green, pink, black and other
colorings are obtained. Next, the chalk
slices go into another bath, by which
they are hardened and crystalized, COM
ing out to all intents and purposes real
marble.--London Science Siftings.

THE LITTLE ARMCHAIR.
,bodY nits In the little armchair,


Nobody sits in the little armchair;
1t stands In a corner dim,
But white haired mother gazing there
And yearningly thinking of him
Sees through the dusk of the long ago
The bloom of her boys sweet face
As he rocks SO merrily to and fro
With a laugh that cheers the place. =
Sometimes he holds book in his hand.
Sometimes pencil and slate,
And the lesson is hard to understand,
And the figures hard to mate,
But she sees the nod of his fathers head,
So proud of the little son,
And she hears the word so often said,
mo fear for our little one"
They were wonderful days, the dear, sweet
days,
Wien child with sunny hair
Was hers to scold, to kiss aud to praise
At her knee in the little chair.
She lost him back in the busy years
When tho great world caught the man,
And he strobe away past hopes and fears
To his place in tho battles van.
But now and then in a wistful dream,
Like a picture out of date,
She sees q head with a golden gleam
Bent over pencil and slate.
And she lives again the happy day,
The day of her young life's spring,
When the small armchair stood just in tho
way,
The center of everything.

Breeding ruo.tailad Goldfish.

1t is the general belief of many leading
ichthologists that the goldfish really be-
longs to no genera or specle-in fact, they
believe it to be monster brought about
through breeding. This belief has been
strengthened by the fact that it is now
well known that the ingenious Celestial
has actually bred whole colony of gold
fish, each having two well developed tails
and two sets of anal fins. Biologists of
national reputation in this country say
that it would be equally as easy a task
to breed quadrupeds with eight legs
