TwinISIing of the Stars.

A discovery of much interest to as
tronomers has been made by DIR. L..
l.. j. See, who is in charge of Lowell
Observatory at Flagstaff, Arizona. The
cause of the twinkling of the stars
has always been q mystery, none of
the theories advanced having stood
the test of thorough investigation. DR..
See has found the cause to be tho
presence in the atmosphere of innu-
merable little air currents or waves,
which dart through the air and cause
break in the light from the star. The
result is that to beholder on the
earth the star has the familiar appear
ance of twinkling. These little air
currents can be distinguished through
the twenty-four-inch telescope very
plainly on nights when this twinkling
is observed most by removing the eye
piece of the instrument. This dis.
covery has been called to the attention
of the Royal Astronomical Society of
London.

She Conquered the Wheel.

1t is nothing new to hear of man
taking bicycle and going off by him
self and working with it until he has
mastered it, but few women do such a
thing. There is one, however, who
has tried it successfully. However,
she had an original idea which is
worth making public. An ordinary
womans wheel is high, and a fall for a
novice more or less serious. This the
wise beginner realized, so she took q
child's wheel and went off by herself,
and for two hours she struggled with
it. When she came back to civiliza-
ton, somewhat bedraggled and very
tired, she was mistress of her wheel,
and has never taken a lesson. But
there might be difficulty for many
people. The words of the old-fash-
ioned receipt come back as a warning:
FIRST catch your wheel; every one has
not a small one at command.

A ROYAL Love Story.

The marriage Of the Prince of Wales
and Princess Alexandra of Denmark
IS generally believed to have been o
love match, and this is the way it is
said to have begun:
The Prince was travelling in Ger
many with his tutor, and went, among
other places, to the old cathedral city
Of Worms-a city which every good
Wagnerian makes a point of visiting
for the sake of its cathedral, for was
not the space in front of the building
known as the scene of the quarrel be-
tween Brunnhilde and Chriemhilde re-
corded in the "Niebelungen Lied?n
As the Prince and his tutor walked up
the aisle of the cathedral they heard
sounds of steps behind them. Turn.
ing, tho Prince saw young girl enter,
beautiful as the princess of any fairy
tale, with q, delicate rosepink COM
pleXion, and brown hair tinted with
gold. When she spoke the voice was
hushed and gentle. Alexandra,
Princess of Denmark" murmured the
tutor. This was, indeed, the first
meeting of the Prince and Princess of
Wales. And it is told that the i'm
preston made upon the Prince was an
immediate one, and that the Princess,
on her side, came to associate the
English stranger with the Lohengrin
of her girlish dreams.

In England postal savings banks
have been iu existence more than a

Flowers Nice to Eat.

The use of flowers, such as rose
leaves and violets, for making confec-
tions is we'll known. Now the nastur-
tium is treated in like manner, and
the products are received with much
favor. This flower and its pugnant
leaves are said to possess valuable
dietetic properties and are classed
among the most approved additions
for salads and sandwiches to vary the
menu.
The latest accession to the dietary
list is that favored fall flower, the
chrysanthemum. Those that have
tried this flower food proclaim it to be
MS pleasant to taste as it is to look upon.
Uhrysanthemums are served as a salad
with French dressing or chopped
fine with a nicely seasoned cream
sauce poured over them. The flowers
have flavor somewhat similar - the
caulifower, but more delicate.
A flower salad that the French con-
slider great delicacy is made from the
young pink and white clover blossoms.

The New York Observer believes
''it will be satisfaction to Christian
people to note that the famous strike
of the laborers employed by Lord
Penrhyn in his large slate-quarries
has now at last been settled, and that
his lordship has admitted the right OF
the employees as local body to adopt
as their own the grievances of an in
dividual workman or class of workmen,
This last point is not, we rejoice to
feel, longer an open question in
America. Lord Penrhyn has yielded
his old world ideas very reluctantly
on this issue; nor is it clear, indeed,
that he has yet gone so far as to deal
directly with outside trades union
officials. This unfortunate Penrhyn
controversy, which has been carried
on for nearly a year, has inflicted
severe loss on his lordship and great
privation and suffering on his men.
The latter have all along received
much moral and financial support
from outsiders. OF the whole body OF
the House of Commons, only two
members have ventured to defend
Lord Penrhyn in his arbitrary course,

Under this total come all the hats
that can be worn in bad weather as
well as on pleasant days. Ostrich
feathers, of course, cannot be used as
trimming on these hats, nor can any
kind of material be used in their con-
struction that will be injured by ex-
posure to the elements.
Felt is not, in reality, much more
durable than velvet, unless it is of the
best quality; but it is greatly used,
and the Alpine shape so popular for
golf, but differently trimmed, is very
smart. The brim is straighter than
last season, with scarcely any curve,
although some styles turn up at one
side. A ribbon band around the
crown, the brim bound with ribbon,
and at the left side bird with long
tail feathers is the favorite trimming.
Gray hats in this shape are considered
newer than the black or brown ones,
and the binding and band can either
be gray or black, as desired. A smart
turban shape in black felt is bound
with velvet, has q band of velvet
around the crown and stiff wings at
the left side. An OWLS head with two
wide stiff wing feathers behind it is
often used instead of the black wings
This using of birds heads is one of
the seasons fads, and the poor owl has
been chosen as the victim of this win
ter's cruelty. Pigeons and doves are
also greatly admired for hat trimmings,
but, fortunately in their case, the sup
ply is equal to the demand, and there
need not be the same wholesale
slaughter as with the owls. Combin-
ing an owls head with pheasants' tail
feathers is another new style-Rot a
pretty one. On the turban, toque and
q sort Of sailor shape these trimmings
are greatly used; and the pheasants'
breasts, with their soft and beautiful
coloring, show to great advantage on a
dark brown felt.
A toque of braided felt trimmed
with velvet is one of the sYnartest
among the n~w styles. 1t is larger
than the toques worn during the sum.

What "Ocean Springs" Is.

Ocean Springs, the scene of the fever
epidemic, is the Oldest French settle
ment ON the Gulf Coast. In 1852 La
Sale and Tonty, after having explored
the Northwestern country, padded
down the Mississippi River to its
mouth and claimed all the sourround-
ing country in the name of the French
King. Several years later France sent
out colonists who settled at Ocean
Springs, which, however, they called
Fort Biloxi, the name having been
changed in recent years. The plague
which visited these early colonists
from time to time was probably moth
ing more nor less than yellow fever

FORECAST.

Take back, take back the harsh word nowl
Consider it unspoken;
Break, break, though late, the angry vow
That better far were broken.
Tho stream of death will bear away
The object of thy passion;
Oh. then obliterate to-day
The thought of his transgression.
Forget the little i'll, re-ealed
AS though by hates intention;
Remember all the good, concealed
As though by loves invention.
The hour may come when thou wilt stand
Unsheltered, and unshriven
Forgiveness price is thy hand,
To-day let it be given.
With hatred in the heart at last
Bethink thee of his terror
whose alfenated gaze were cast
On loves eternal mirror.
Thou might'st endure the sight of woe
The scofflng-the derision-
But where thou dost expect to go
How couldst thou bear the vision?

Fashion Notes.

Moire poplins and moire velours are
to be worn again this season.
Silk fringes, especially in the mar
row widths, are used for dress trim
ming.
Little capes of cream colored cloth
are useful for throwing over shoulders
in the evening.
Jackets of pink cloth, embroidered
with jet and steel, are very fascinating
on some people.
Tea jackets are made of soft white
or pale silk, trimmed with lace and
gold embroidery.
Skirts are no longer stiffened all the
way up. The best dressmakers use
hair cloth for the depth of eight
inches.
Linen collars and cuffs are some-
times worn with silk shirt waists, but
a later style calls for the collar only,
and cuffs of the silk.
One of the latest novelties of gold
trinkets is little fan chain, fastened
at the side of the belt, from which q
very small fan is suspended.
The noticeable feature of dress trim.
ming is floral applique, made of silk
guipure and braid. Jet, too, is very
conspicuously mixed with embroidery.
Light colors in cloth are the correct
thing for afternoon and reception
gowns, and all sorts of jeweled EN-.
broidery on bright velyets are used as
trimming.
Lace is universally used this season
on both light and dark gowns. We
nave lace vests, lace cravats, lace bows
in ouf hats, and lace everywhere that
it can be arranged with good effect.
Plaid hosiery is attractively dis.
played in the shop windows, and every
conceivable mixture of colors is repre-.
sented in this article of dress. There
are silk and wool, silk and isle, al
wool, silk, and cotton to suit every
shade of temperature.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Every farm has place for sheep
that no other stock can fill.
Food wisely fed will always come
back doubled if fed to good animal
1t is poor economy to keep young
stock unless it is kept growing every
day.
Make it a rule to sell as little feed
as possible and to buy as little as pos,
sible.
Teach the young horses to walk well
and good foundation is laid for the
faster gaits.
For want of sufficient moisture a
tree may starve with its roots in the
midst of plenty.
Thorough grubbing is the surest
way of getting rid OF elder, sassafras
and persimmon.
A light daily feed OF oats can nearly
always be given to the weanling colts
at this time with benefit.
One advantage in using the drill or
seed sower is that the seed will be
distributed more evenly
Always keep the plow sharp; it
makes better work and is easier for
both the team and plowman.
When the tools and implements are
stored away be sure that they are
properly cleaned and painted.
The best systems of cropping are in
variably those which call for the most
thorough preparation of the soil.
Feeding, watering and grooming
regularly will aid materially in keep
ing the horses in good, thrifty con-
dition.
The best covering for roses during
the winter is we'll rotted manure For
Iceland poppies use branches and
leaves.
Plant crocus mammoth yellow on
the lawn. 1t blooms early, and makes
a fine show, its deep golden blossoms
appearing in clusters of six or dozen.
To keep the cannas over the winter,
cut off the tops and place them in
boxes of sand, in warm, dry cellar.
If exposed to damp they will rot and
decay.
Nothing is prettier in the way of an
autumn bouquet than mass of scarlet
SALIVA set off by few dahlia sunhow-
ers. But use the yellow sparingly.
Keep it subordinate to the stronger
color, remembering that it is used
only as foil.
An excellent covering for the holly
hook is nail keg with both ends
knocked out. Place one over each
plant, and fill in about it with leaves.
Then put something over the top to
keep out the rain. When snow comes
bank up well about the keg.
Single roses make beautiful hedges.
They may be planted now or in the
spring. They will completely cover a
fence with their clean green foliage,
and give their large single flowers and
later their brilliant scarlet ''hips" or
seed vessels in great abundance. To
clothe trellis or wall, or to hide un-
slightly buildings they are most ex-
cellent.

A hungry white horse, with the ap-
pearance of having gone unfed for many
day, after having browsed among the
banana skins in the gutter at Clark and
Washington streets this afternoon,
yielded to the temptation offered by
the new hat of matinee girl as she
was about to enter the Chicago Opera
House, and, after knocking it off her
head, munched it until it was ruined.
The hat was probably worth $35.
The horse was wandering unbridled
about the Chicago Opera House block,
and had made several reaches for straw
hats before he got one. The girl
screamed in terror, and crowd quick
ly gathered, but the efforts of the gal
liant were too late to save the hat

There is a frse-and-easy assumption
that modern journalism, so called, is
responsible for the rush to the Klon-
dixie. Those who make this curious
blunder seem to be quite unaware of
the fact that there was a rush to the
gold fields of California nearly fifty
years ago, by the side of which that
to Alaska sinks into insignifcance.
Nor must it be forgotten that in 1919
and 1880 California was as much an
unknown land as Alaska is to-day,
and that every argonGut of those days
understood that he was going forth
to encounter great dangers. The new
journalism had not yet made its ap-
pearance, but the stampede occurred
all the same, just as it would have
done in 1897 if the newspapers had
been content to print short items de.
failing the facts.

The new fancy combs have teeth
that are coarser than last season. The
ornamentatiou of these combs is quite
simple. The palmer ones, when orna-
mented with narrow bands of silver or
gold, have only simple designs cut
into these bands. Except on those
pieces to be worn above the knot there
is no tiligree work. Jewels, when
used, are sunk in the band, not raised
above, as for the last few seasons.
Amethysts, it is said, will be the pop
ular stones, and only few diamonds
are shown, to be worn in very black
hair. Amethysts come in settings of
silver and gold, in polished and French
gray finish and in polished and rose
finished silver gilt.
The new side combs come in sets of
three and four. The most stylish are
hinged together. In sets of four one
comb goes above the knot, one below
the knot and one on either side. In
sets of three, as a rule, the middle
comb is to be used above the knot,
and is the least bit higher and more
ornate than the other two. Where
the four are hinged together the ten
dency seems to be to have them all
alike, differing only in length and
curve. One favorite design for these
combs is the zigzag, with narrow
beaded border of gold. All four
combs are alike and hinged together.
The effect when worn with hair coiled
just above the middle of the head is
very pretty and generally becoming.
Gilt, silver and shell hairpins will not
be worn. Indeed the tendency seems
to be to hide those necessary articles,
hairpins.
