Squaring the Circle.

There is record of an attempted quad rature in Egypt 500 years before the exo- dus of tho Jews, and if we arc to take Hone as an authority the problem was solved by Hippocrates, the geometrician of Chios, nearly 800 years B. c. By some it is claimed that the efforts of Hipprocrates were in the direction of convertinga a circle into a crescent, because he had found that tho area of q figure produced by drawing two perpendicular radii is exactly equal to the triangle formed by the line of conjunc tion. This last is the famous theorem of the "lunes of Hippocrates. The Papyrus Rhind, the oldest mathematical book in the world-written by one Ahmes about 5000 B. C.-gives Q rule for "squaring the circle" The rule given requires that the diameter of circle shall be shortened by one ninth and the square erected upon this shortened line. The early Babylonians also worked at this old mathematical prob lem, as is attested by several references in the Ta1mud.-St. Louis Republic,

Fashion Echoes,

After the tea gown the blouse is the most picturesque garment worn by wom- en.
 It is said that a red parasol destroys i'll great measure the actinic power of the sun, and must therefore keep the skin from freckles.
 Taste seems to be against drapcries. Some of the newest gowns, however, are set ill broad box plaits at the side
 The new blazer is short, falling only about 10 inches below the waist ill the back and pointing longer ill the front
 To wear with blazer suits are shirt waists of cotton cheviot, plain or ill stripes, made precisely as they were last year, but more often finished by very stylish standing collar, which is to be broken over slightly below the throat. The turned over collars are still shown for those who prefer them.
 Fine wool crepons have come to stay and will continue to rival all other thin fabrics for spring and summer gowns.
 The French manufacturers show de- cided preference for lightly woven stuffs, and indeed for very thin fabrics.

A Japanese Room.

Huge Japanese umbrellas are service able for many things, but one seen re- oently is so peculiarly striking as to de- serve especial comment. AS described in The Decorator and Furnisher, it hangs from hook ill the ceiling of a small room ill an artists home and forms the entire ceiling. Beneath it is the tea ta- ble and all its paraphernalia, together with bamboo settee and five chairs, all set upon a Japanese rug. The tea service is of fine Japanese ware, and the tea it. self comes from Japan. The entire room is complete, and one feels on entering that it is 8 veritable bit of the land of chrysanthemums.

Names.

A Troy Times gossipcr tells of Ken lucky man named Youmans whose front" name is k. Pluribus. He is known as Bus ~Youmans. Tho incident recalls the story of MT. Rose, who named his daughter Wild. That was very pret- ty conceit, but when she grew to maturity she married Il gentleman of tho name of Bull, producing a combination less satis- factory to the parent. There is a family named Haslins in Tompkins county who named the eldest son Socrates, pronounc ing the word with the accent on the second syllable, so that it rhymed excellently with saleratus The gentleman still lives and is known as Scrate, instead of Sock, as he ought to be. A recent poet succeeded in making the name Pericles rhyme with pickles.

WHAT terrors the anarchists have been unable to infiict upon society with their secret plottings and dynamite explosives have been invented for them in the mor- bid imaginings of the sensation n-mongers. The latest effort of internal conjecture is the story that comes from Paris that the promoters of anarchy have enlisted the pestilent microbe in their warfare upon existing conditions of society, and that they nrs busily engaged in the work of in- tee'inH NAN water supply of that city with germs ot disease. Il -arious outbreak of typhoid fever in Paris gives cUlv- to these newspaper reports.
 THAT Lord Rosebery's government is in imminent peril is a fact that nobody in England any longer attempts to conceal from himself or from other people. It must be agreed that this peril has been in- cured solely through the action of the prime minister himself. If he had ad- hered to his first declaration on assuming office, there Is no reason why he should not have maintained Mir Gladstones ma jority. His next declaration, in the house of lords, k thought by many persons to have been "magnii ent, but certainly it WAS not politics. To understand the pig- nlfcance of the present situation, 1t must be borne in mind thAt tnere is not single member of the house of commons who does not regard a dissolution and a new election ss a nuisance, even though he may consider his own reelection assured Since all this has been brought about by Lord Rosebery's indiscretion. the one pre- diction that seems quite safe is that he is serving bis only term of office as liberal prime minister.
