MAGIC WROUGHT BY RAIN.
Barren Aust 'alian Plains Suddenly Trans
formed Into Flower Gardens.

Barren Aust Ialian Plains Suddenly Trans
formed Into Flower Gardens.
The who'll of the interior of Australia Is
not, as some people appear to think, a des-
ert. 1t is tlaNersed by river courses, such
as those of the Finke Barcoe and War
burton, all draining southwark toward
Lake Eyre.
Nothing could be more striking than
the contrast between the dry and wet sea-
son, states Professor Baldwin Spencer,
who visited central Australia on q scien-
tlilo mission.
In the former one travels mile after
mile over bare, stony plains, with scarcely
sign of plant or animal life. The sun
beats down holly on shining fields of
brown and purple stones, crossed every
now and then by thin bands of dreary
looking mulga trees.
Such plants as there are are compare
lively few and far apart. As to the ami
mails, they have to survive as best they
can; ants, flies and grasshoppers exist in
countless numbers aEd afford food to liz
ards, and perhaps smaller marsupial rats
and mice.
In the rainy season, which may only &C.
cur once in IS months, everything is
changed From the highlands in the cen.
ter and from every range of hills the water
PUSHES down in torrents. Vast areas, pre-
viOusly impossible 10y reason of drought,
now become impossible from food With
in few hours the W hole scene is changed.
The water has loosened the hard ground
and countless animals have appeared
Clay pans and water holes are noisy with
the croaking of frogs; crustaceans hatch
out with wonderful rapidity from eggs
which have lain on the dry ground for, it
may be, many months; small mollusks
buried in clay are released, and every in,
habitant of land and WAFER sets to work to
make the best of it's short life
The ground within day or two is green
with the leaves of countless seedlings,
which grow rapidly; birds appear as if by
magic, and the once dry and silent coun-
try is now bright with flowers and foliage
and animals, all decked out in their live
lest Colors.
After perhaps a few days the rains cease
and the waters quickly become confined to
the river channels, securing out holes here
and there, where small supply will re-
main for time after the shallower parts
have all dried up
AS the water disappears everything re-
turns to its arid state, and it is only those
animals and plants that have succeeded in
reaching a sufficiently far advanced stage
of growth that have any chance of surviv-
ing. The weaklings among the plants are
quickly killed off.-Pall Mall Gazette.

LOST OPPORTUNITY.

They pain me and harass me sore;
But, an me! the things that | did not,

Are sorrowful wraiths, and they

comforting word
Only once that kind service to render

Alas! could the dead past" but bury
Forever its dead from our sight!

To meet us by day and by night;
And our lives move along to the
solemn refrain,

other than a church wedding-a
large one at that, according to the
New York Herald, from which the
further interesting facts are learned:
TO be very exact the swell hour
for wedding is IL o'clock, with a
breakfast to follow at the BRIDES
home. Next to that half past 3,
or half past o'clock are the pre-
ferred hours, with an evening re-
ceptiOn or "at home" Fashion still
frOwns on the evening wedding and
will have none of it.
Seven bridesmaids-the lucky
number again-is to be the most
fashionable quota this winter, be-
sides maid of honor. The seventh,
or head bridesmaid, as she is called,
ed by the other six walking in pairs,
the maid of honor coming next in
line and immedi ately in front of the
bride-a most charming grouping,
suggestive of anything rather than
thoughtful planning, deliberate and
hard work in arranging the bridal
procession.
A matron of honor-a very recent
ly married girl-in place of a maid
of honor is latter day development
of the fashionable wedding, which
is in high favor just now. 1t is said
that the brides took their cue from
the bridegrooms, who several years
ago started in selecting a best man
from the ranks of beuedicts.
A very important item of the fin
de steele wedding is the invitation,
and this tell-tale little bit of paper
often speaks most eloquently of the
sender's knowledge of fashions
changes In style and form.
For example, Gladys will be sure
to know very soon, if she has not al
ready found it out, that the latest
wrinkle this autumn in wedding
stationery shows the invitation
printed on gray white paper instead
of cream white or dead white, the
sheet a tritie more square than that
in vogue last season. the measure.
ments being about 81 by IA inches
Then again, not only the church
invitation, but the card of admis-
sion to the church and the invita-
ton card to the house, have blank
line, on which is to be written the
name of the guest. OF course this
means lots more work for those
sending out the invitations, out, af,
ter all, think how much more ele-
giant and personally gratifying such
an invitation is and what cOmpIi
ment is paid to each person who re-
ceives one.
A separate invitation should be
sent to each guest invited, even if
several are invited from one family,
except of course in the ease where IA
married couple are iAvIr4d, when
one card covers the Invitation to
| both.

The Princesse Gown.

That the princess dress is a fixed
favorite this season there is no gain
saying, and part of this popularity,
! think, is due to the fact that it is
so easily adapted to any require
ments. Beginning in the morning
the lady may have wrapper in
that shape or at least partly prin
cess. In the afternoon she may
wear lovely tea gown cut with the
same flowing curved lines, a thing
of grace and beauty in itself. A
visiting costume may be as elegant
and ornate as the wearer desires,
and the sweeping skirt is also a
proof of the princess shape. For
opera and for ball, for grand din
ner or other swell function, the prin
cess is also quite the proper gown,
only that each must be specially
adapted by material and by trim
ming to the purpose. Very slim
and very stout figures are
scarcely adapted for princess gowns,
yet such is the almost superhuman
cleverness of the nineteenth century
dressmaker these ladies are made to
look we'll after all in these gowns.
A little judiciOus padding across
shoulders and the understanding of
the values of special arrangements
of trimming give the slender wo-
man what she lacks and deceives
the eye which looks upon the stout
one.

There is nothing newer or more

The latest and most ingenious way
of getting rid of reaches aud waite +
bugs we have heard of is related of
citizen of Schenectady, whose
kitchen was infected with them.
A servant, hearing that toais were
an antidote, caught three ordinary
hop tOad5 and put them in the
kitchen. Not a roach or water bug,
it is stated, can now be found in thu
house. The tOads have become
domesticated, never wander about
the house, and are 80 clean y AMI in =
offensive that there is no objection
to their presence.
Another use for tOads is to employ
them for insect destrOyers in the
garden. They are determined
enemies of all kinds of snails and
slugs, which it is we'll known can in
single night destroy a vast quantity
of lettuce, carrots, asparagus, etc
TOads are also kept in vineyards
where they devour during the night
millions of insects that escape the
pursuit of nocturnal birds, and
might commit iucalculable havoc on
the buds and young shoots of the
vine. In Paris tOads are an article
of merchandise. They are kept in
tubs and sold at the rate of two
francs a dozen.-Hampshire Gazette

A most elegant costume this sea-
son is the white cloth princess gown,
but as matter Of fact this is very
trying. Only the woman with a
faultless figure and good complex
ion should attempt it. The white
cloth princess usually has deep yoke
and sleeves of handsome lace or EN-.
broidery appliqued, though one per-
feet dream of gown had long
sleeves run wiGh tiny white satin
puffings set between strips of the
cloth, and yoke to match, while col.
