Goose Barnacle.

One of the oldest things they have at
the marine aquarium is goose var
nacle This particular specimen is
very small, very much alive, and has
been living in the aquarium for
months in spite of the fact that some of
it's normal barnacle necessities are sup
piled by most peculiar artificial means.
The goose barnacle differs from other
varieties in that it hangs from ships,
floating timber. or other substances
near the surface of the water, and has
only the power to attach once to any
object. This barnacle being taken from
it's means of support, an artificial one
had to be supplied. This was done by
means of a piece of common cotton
string. This is tied around the barnacle
and to a cork from which the barnacle
hangs near the surface Of the water in
a glass in the aquarium. The bar
nacle is SO small that the string is as
large as rope in comparison, and it
looks very comical hanging, the feath-
ery looking cirrus down and grasping
out into the water for food.-New York
Times.

duke Otto, passing over the latters

from consumption. Francis is appar-

from blighted affection. He has long
wished to marry the Archduchess

barred from doing SO while he re-

One effect of Ii Hung Chang's visit
to England and America is seen IN the
appointment by him of two Chinese
women as delegates from China to the
women's congress which will meet in
London in 1898 The delegates are Miss
Marguerite Whang and DR.. Huking
Eng, both of whom were educated in
the United States. This is a remarka-

in anything outside of home life. 1t is

here and in England.

he says, would not only almost put an

neither sails, oars nor other means of

to make protracted stay. The arks

In one end is small room containing

Here the food for the inhabitants of the
craft is prepared. Adjoining is larger

For Breakfast.

Sometimes even the most fastidiOuS
woman forgets that the keynote Of
daintiness is struck by the morning
toilet. A model of all that she should
be at other times, her breakfast ap-
parel gives every outward evidence Of
haste, and leaves much to be desired.
A woman who has made a hasty
morning toilet is by no means thing
of beauty. Therefore, she who is wise
valiantly foregoes the joy of the for
hidden nap. She rises betimes, sup
ported by the thought that of such stuff
martyrs are made, and after her matu-
final dip, as she arranges her hair as
becomingly as she would later in the
day for luncheon or a shopping ex-
petition, she finds herself at peace
with all the world, even including the
cook.
It's only a little thing in the days
doings, but it tells. The woman who
presides at the breakfast table, neat,
fresh and rosy, is fulfilling part Of her
mission in life.
Her husband is as much stimulated
by her presence as by the fragrant cup
of Mocha which she dispenses, and,
though seemingly absorbed in his news
paper as he sips his favorite beverage,
in reality he sees every detail Of the
dainty toilet, knowing that it was made
for his eyes alone, and, man-like, ap-
preciating it all the more for that very
reason.

Children's Ears.

If the infants ears show mulish
tendency to stand out from the head
something should be done about it, es-
pecially if the child be boy.
Caps can be purchased for the pur-
pose of combining too prominent ears
and keeping them close to the head
They are rather expensive, but one that
will answer the purpose can be made
at home. Take strip of muslin about
three inches wide, press it over the ears
and cut it right length to meet beneath
the chin; fasten the band to it across
the back of the head, another at the
nape of the neck and a third across
the forehead. Tie the cap with strings
under the chin. 1t should be worn at
night.

Modern football players believe in
protecting their heads. Twelve years
ago there were very few "long-haired"
experts, but the craze for letting ones
locks grow has become universal, so
that football man with short hair is
looked down upon. The rubber nose

and the leather helmet are devices that
seem almost Indispensable. The he'll
met that is in use now not only covers
the top of the head with a cap of hard
leather, but protects the ears with two
big muffs made of thick felt, through
which are small holes, so that the wear
er can hear the instructions of his CAP
tain. It is estimated that with all Of
his football togs on a player can tip the
scales at thirty pounds above his actual
weight. Somebody has suggested steel
masks and coats of mail, but fortunate

accessories.

nothing is thought of such an outlay.

To the spectator who watches the

many risks to be run as there were
twelve years ago. Who would have

but nobody is without them now. From
the light canvas or cloth trousers of
former years we have heavily padded
moleskins, with bullying knees foot
thick, solid paniers over the hips, and
leather protectors for the stomach and
kidneys. Canvas jackets are not so
popular now, but heavily padded jer-
seys are considered the right idea in
stead. Chadwick, of Yale, has, per-
haps, the most novel-looking jersey.
Around the wrists are leather bands,
