Toilet Novelties.

Unless you have bit of Bohemian
glass on your toilet table you have no
right to fatter yourself that you are
up to date.
There are any number of odd-shaped
Bohemian glass salve boxes, pin trays
and hair pin cases, but as yet the brush
with glass back has not been seen.
Ivory toilet articles decorated with
gold are much in favor with those who
can afford them. Upon highly pol
ished mahogany table they look very
beautiful.
The Bohemian glass puff boxes are
exquisite affairs, and much less ex-
pensive than gold or silver ones. The
puff looks very pretty, showing through
the glass box.
Toilet articles of this delicately col
ored glass are one of the present fads of
the society woman. 1t is not the plain
Bohemian glass that she favors but the
glass that is studded with imitation
jewels and wrought with gilt designs.

Will Oats Turn to BarIeyP.

The question of "transmutation of
species" in the vegetable world has been
discussed in all the scientific journals
of this and foreign countries since the
time when the mind of man began to in
quire into cause and effect, or at least
since such journals were first estab-
lished. 1t has been repeatedly asserted
that wheat will turn to cheat" also,
but less frequently and less positively
claimed, that oats will turn to barley,
and vice versa. This curious fact in ma
ture" has always been scoffed' at by the
scientists because it Is inconsistent
with preconceived theories. Now it ap-
pears that there is no doubt whatever
but that such transformation occasion
ally takes place. A gentleman whose
name and place of residence are given
in one of the leading London papers,
carefully planted some picked grains of
oats IN box Of sffted soil. When the
plants were a foot in height he cut them
down to an inch of the roots. This proc
ess was three times repeated that year,
and some of the roots died; but others
and the next year-wonder
of wonders-they yielded, not oats, but
barley! The yield was indeed perfect
barley, rather thin and unnatural in
grain, but by no means of a bad type

Green Apple Pie

Is made from the fruit thatdrops from
the early apple trees, which is boiled
until it is tender and then peeled and
cut up. a strip is then made of sugar
and some of the water the apples were
cooked in. When this boils add the
apples and cook them for few mo-
ments. The filling is then ready for the
pie, which should be baked in a shallow
pie plate. This pie can be finished
either with an upper crust or with
crossbars of pastry. When the crust is
light golden brown it should be taken
from the oven a Id fine sugar sifted over
the top.-Lz6is|s' Home Journal.

CONCERTS GIVEN BY cRIcKETs.
When the Weather Suits Them the Little
Insects Make Merry Music.

There is something remarkable in the
regularity, or perfect time, of the chirps
of tree crickets. Do you not find it a
ego as you please" concert-eyery
cricket for himself; but all the crickets
in given locality seem to be following
a leader, keeping perfect time with
each other. Another curious fact is
that the number of chirps seems to be
governed by the temperature of the at
mosphere. Take out your watch I'M
der an electric light near which you can
near tree cricket, and count the num-
Der of chirps in one minute; then, as
you stroll along, try it again, count the
chirps of another cricket, and you will
find he keeps time with the first one
the Same number of chirps in min
ute. If you are going out to Brookline,
where the tree cricket is greatly in evil
dence, take the time again, and you will
find the number of chirps the same, pro-
vided, however, that it is no cooler or
warmer in Brookline than it is in Bos-
ton. There can be no question that the
number of chirps increases when the
weather is warm, and decreases when 1t
is cool, and consequently you can tell
very near what the temperature is by
counting the chirps. Singular as itmay
seem, this is fact, as many persons can
testify who have tried it. Here is the
rule by which any person will be able
to test it. When the temperature is IS,
the number of chirps is 100 per minute.
Add or deduct, as the case may be, one
degree for every five chirps in excess
of, or under, 100, and you get the tenn
perature. For example, suppose it is
a very warm evening, and, having count
ed the chirps, you find the number to
be leo, which is 60 in excess of 100. In
60 there are twelve fves. Add
twelve to IS, and you get 70 as
the temperature. Look at your Their
mometer and see how much it will vary
from those figures; not very much,
am sure; and whatever variation there
is will undoubtedly be due to the fact
that it is warmer, or cooler, where the
Thermometer hangs than in the spot
where the cricket whose chirps you
have taken as your guide happens TO be.
