GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES
A Song of the Dying summer.


Summer, with her cleaning wings,
TO the coming autumn sings,
Chanting all her wrong.
Autumn, in her robes of gold,
Showering wealth from every fold,
Listens to her song.
"Sister, tell me, tell me why
Now has come my time to die?
Why must l sorrow?
Hidden in the darksOme grave
Is there nothing that can save?
Is there no morrow?
'Joy and beauty bestow,
Freely on the earth below,
Yet breathe my last"
Autumn, bending low, replied:
Il will hasten to thy side
When my time is past.
'Fleck'd with white the moaning sea
Weeps a requiem for thee,
Signing in sadness.
Flowers around thy tomb shall cling;
Rest thee, then, until the spring
Wakes thee in gladness."

CHAIN ARMOR IN USE.
British Officers Employ it in Many Move
Ways.


Ways.
Setting aside at once all talk about pro-
tections that are perfectly bullet-proof, /
give you my assurance that an immense
number of the officers of our army and
navy who go on foreign service, especial
ly when one of our "little wars is ex-
pected, provide themselves with certain
easily recognized projections.
These, mind you, are well-knOwn ar
ticles of trade to the service. The com
monest and most usual type of these
projections consists of fine but beauti-
fully tempered single chains, inclosed in
soft leather, which run along the shout
ders, down the outer side Of the arms,
and over certain parts of the body
These can either be sewn into partic-
ular tunic, or they can be adjusted sep
arately and put on like harness. Take
it absolutely that hundreds upon hun
dreds of sets are sold. The more valu-
able of all chains in connection with ac-
couterments are those which guard the
head; and in cases where the regulation
cap or helmet is not sufficiently protect
ed in this way. specially made chains
are sewn inside the same and covered by
the lining.
Only those who have been in actual
conflict know how valuable all the chains
mentioned are minimizing the effect of
sword cuts. AS regards protection. both
from sword and bullet, the general be-
lief of officers nowadays seems to be in
thoroughly tanned leather, and great
quantities of tight-ftting leather under
TUNES are made for officers. the favorite
pattern-said to be the invention of the
late Sir Richard Burton-being that
which forms not too prominent ridge
down the center of the chest. | have
heard innumerable stories from officers
of bullets which have been diverted in
some degree by these leather tunics, some
of which are lined with woven steel wire.
OF course, none of these things are sup
posed to be an absolute protection, but
only a sort of palliative.
A west end goldsmith who sells a

Why "a bakers dozen" should signify
thirteen instead of twelve puzzles many
people. The reason is that when a
heavy penalty was inflicted for short
weight bakers used to give a surplus
amount of loaves, called the "inbread,'
to avoid all risk of mourning the fine.
The thirteenth loaf given to the dozen
was called the vantage loaf" To give
a man a bakers dozen, in slang phrase
ology is to give him sound drubbing,
j. e., all he deserves and one stroke more.

 Owing to the larger eccentriclty of it's orbit, the extremes of temperature on
 Mars are greater than upon the earth, although the total amount of the solar heat received by the planet is less than half as much as we get. But more i'm portant than these differences is the rarity of Mars atmosphere, which has been so clearly demonstrated by the recent spectroscopic observations of Prof. Campbell. It may not be scien- tifc, but it is certainly human to ask whether it is probable that human be- ings resembling ourselves were includ- ed in the field of view of our telescopes last autumn, while we watched the southern snows of Mars sparkling to the sun and melting away at his ardent touch. If such beings are there they must exist in an atmosphere less than one-quarter as extensive as the earths.

LEARNING BY SIGHT.

The Marvellous Work of a Mode1er from
 Memory.
 Danton, the celebrated caricaturist, had wonderful power of mcdeling from memory. After one long look at his subject, he could go to his studio and make bust quite perfect in its re- semblance.
 One day a young man came to him, saying that his sister was ill and about to die, and that, although the family wished her bust modelled, they dared not excite her by mentioning it. Would he undertake to reproduce her features after seeing her once? Danton agreed, and next day the brother informed his sister that he intended to present her with some jewels. and that young man would bring some specimens for her approval.
 Danton brought in the jewels, and, going home, modelled bust of striking resem blance. Next year an old gentle mal., the father of the young woman, came to order a bust of the brother, who also had died. This, too, was a marvellous success.
 The result of such planning, however, was not always as satisfactory to his patrons as in these cases. A gentleman who could not persuade his wife to sit asked Danton to enter a certain omni- bus one day, and fix in his memory the features of the lady opposite him.
 He did so, modelled a beautiful bust, and sent it home. It proved, however, to be, not the mistress, but the maid, who had also taken the trip in the om- nibus.

Last evening the news flashed over
to the town that Charles Williams, n
we'll known and well-to-do farmer,

a-half cast of this village, had hung
himself. At first it was hardly credit
ed as he had been seen in town only
the day before i'll apparent good
health and spirits, but the report was
soon confirmed by his son Archie who
came so the village for assistance, and
gave an Exposltor representative the
following particulars. The boys, Ar
chic and Joe, had been engaged in
moving building in the village and
when they came home at evening they
could see nothing of their father.
No one on the place had seen
him since about three o'clock in
the afternoon. They looked through
the large barn near the house. but not
finding him they went over to the old
bsr4 some forty rods from the house:
There they found every door securely
fastened on the inside and after call
ing his name repeatedly they broke in
the door ard sight met their eyes
that turned them sick with horror.
Hanging by rope to beam above
the hay NOV was the lifeless body of
their beloved father. No reason is
known to exist for the rash act, as de-

should naturally tend to make man

A Damage Suit.

John Cough has commenced suit IN

OF Yale, for 81 900 damages. Cough is
peddler of cloth. He goes among
the farmers and takes orders for SOC
and S75 lots. lie claims that New
York firm recently shipped an assign
ment of cloth to b. X. Noble, the Yale
banker, with the instructions to deliver
the goods to Cough upon payment of
5000. Cough claims he paid the
money, after which Noble, out of per-
sonal spite, shipped the goods back tc
the New York dealers. Cough sues
for 81 900 damages, claiming that he
was out that much while waiting for
the return of the cloth. Cough
maintains that the reason Noble
shipped the goods back was because
he (Noble) has man at work in
the same territory selling the same
class of goods. Chadwick Il McIlwain
