deep and 10 inches wide; the front is
25 inches deep, and 90 inches wide. The
front is arranged in two box plaits,
which form the pockets, the top of each
of which is embroidered with stripe in
crewels or fax thread; a shorter stripe
is worked between the pockets. The
edges are sewn together, and border
of leaves is worked entirely round. The
embroidery will look best worked with
one color or shades of one color. A
rosette of ribbon, with pointed strap
between them, is placed at each of the

OUEERNESS OF PEOPLE.

Natural.
The dread of being thought queer is
a most powerful motive of some minds
The fear of the comments or thoughts

and bring up their children, bury their
relatives, and conduct themselves in
each and every crisis exactly as they
suppose these people expect them to
do.

own individuality, instead of acting as
other people expect one to, comes easier
to some natures than to others. To
some the best road will always mean
the most direct, and the truthful and
open impulse will always seem the
most desirable. The hardest task OF
such natures is to dissemble, and not tc
speak out their real thought.
OF course it is often unwise to tel
ones Utmost thought or opinion; il

it might be unkind. Life becomes, as
we grow older, more and more com

Yet it remains fact that there arr

Immense Block of Coal.

The inventor claims also that the boil

Astronomy Hard on Eyesight.

The dangers of watching solar phe-
nonena, even with partial protection
of colored glasses, have been pointed
out by DR.. George Mackay, of Edin-
burgh. Calico lost his vision in this
manner; Sk Isaac Newton's retina was
permanently injured, and DIR. Mackay
has himself met with not less than sew
enteen cases of impaired sight as re-
suit of viewing with the unprotected

WOMAN AND HOME.
THE cHAPERoNs DOWNFALL

How the Bicycle Has Inaugurated an In
reresting Revolution.
The bicycle has a new function. It
Is RELOCATING the chaperon to her
proper sphere. 1t is not good-by nor a
long farewell to the dowagers on duty.
They will wag as long as society
swings But in the last year there has
been tightening of the letters that
fasten society girl to her chaperon's
side, and this, too, in the innermost
circles, the approval of which makes a
custom good form.
This is how the change was described
by one of the moving spirits in the po-
tential clique of New York's most de-
sirable society.

tent on keeping the pace the young
men set to get into mischief. They are
going to get to Claremont in the fifty
minutes time limit, and the girl who
keeps up best with the boys is the
favorite. They don't dismount except
for few moments before returning.
It is the athletic spirit again, and all
very favorable to the release of the
chaperon from many of her duties.
Such thing wouldn't have been heard
of five or six years ago, where we were
ultra English. Then chaperon was
Indispensable, and the proudest boast
of society mother was that her daugh-
