SEVEN TIM ES.

Seven has been called the perfect number, and distinguished writer says: "Of all numbers, there is no one which has exercised in this way wid- CT Influence, no one which has com manded in higher degree the esteem and reverence of mankind than the number seven." But when there have been seven attempts to have yacht race and seven failures the esteem and reverence of mankind for the number seven receive a shock. Perhaps, how ever, seven is the perfect number in this case, and the limit. Let us hope so, even though the indications that it is so are not very encouraging this morning. The weather has been so perfect for almost everything but yacht racing that perhaps we ought to be satisfied, but when we want yacht race we want it, and all the other blessings don't seem as large and as golden as they are Such is queer hu- man nature. But cheer up. comrades. the wind will come, when it listeth.

FASHION NOTES.
Necks Stimy Framed

In many of the newest collars the highest point is at the back, and the height there is so great as to make the collar a genuine help in disposing of the neck clocks. Sometimes instead of a point the collar is squared off we'll above the level of the ears. In front the chin is allowed a little comfort. Either the collar slopes down from its back loftiness to comfortable narrow ness under the chin, or if cut up high in front in a point, the point is slit down far enough to permit the chin to rest where it wants to. The points then rise at either side against the cheeks and save very pretty look.
 Such collar should be very stiff1y

SOME HTSTORV

How history is made is well il1us- trated In paper read before the Mas sachusetts Historical Society by Presi- dent Charles Francis Adams MT. T., E. Chittenden was register of the
 united States treasury during the war of the rebellion. MT. Chittenden states that he was then called upon to sion treasury obligations to the extent of $l0,O0O,0OO, to be sent to England in haste for an emergency there. This emergency was caused by the need to meet the case of an unknown American residing in England who had advanced from his private fortune $5,0O0, GOO in gold to prevent the departure of war cruisers which were being fitted out by the Lairds to operate against our gov ernment. MT. Chittenden thought he even knew the name of this patriotic citizen of our country Mir. Adams, on examining his fathers diary as minis ter to England at the time, found no reference to the subject, and was fully convinced that no such incident oc- cured or individual existed. It was an entire mistake on MT Chittendens part. The explanation of it he found later, when the Life of the Late John M. Forbes" was published. That sum was intrusted to MT Forbes, who was sent to England, with Mr William l.. Aspinwall, to purchase these cruisers, if practicable, which it was found not to be. MT. Chittenden did sign the ob- legations, but he was altogether de- ceived in the rest of his circumstantial story
 This is interesting. Now if MT. Adams and the man who wrote the Life of the Late John M. Forbes have not also been deceived there is some his~ tory which is history.

 Love, he said. was rot; Love might do for silly women,

 His big, bony wrists; There was power in his movements,

HAPPY POLL ES.

Russia isn't treating the Poles as harshly as she is the Films. An inn portant concession to the Poles in Rus sian Poland has just been announced, the Russian imperial authorities having consented to the petition of leading Poles in educational circles at Warsaw, which was supported by the Governor- General of Poland, Prince Imeretinsky, for a radical change in the law relating to the instruction of Polish youth in their native language and history. So far as the middle-class educational es- tablishments in Russian Poland are concerned the teaching in all classes will be carried on hereafter in the Po- fish tongue, while the Polish language will constitute one of the main subjects in the educational curriculum of the higher-class institutions, and will be taught in all classes of these establish ments. The curriculum in the four low CT forms will include grammatical course, while the history of Polish liter ature will be included in the higher forms, and the extent of the programme will correspond generally with that of the course marked out for the teaching of the Russian language and literature This concession, as might be supposed, has caused profound satisfaction in all Polish circles throughout the empire, ested in the education of their youth who have been deeply concerned at the already has almost died out in Prussian Poland.

Ostrich farming has been demon- strated to be success in Florida, The industry was begun near Jacksonville about year ago by some men from the North, and the results have been so encouraging that the projectors have formed plans for the immediate enlargement and improvement of the farm. The big birds stood the unusual cold of last winter very well, and the heat of Florida suits them. In fact, the promoters of the industry believe that the Florida climate presents some advantages over that of California success, and from which State they brought the birds to Jacksonville. The Florida sand seems to suit them better than the clay soils of the Pacific Coast. About the only handicap to their we'll doing in Florida is the absence of al- falfa grass, which they eat with avidty, and on which they thrive so we'll in California. An effort will be made t 0 prow alfalfa in Florida, so that every aid to ostrich culture may be given, with view of it's ultimate expansion into a profitable business in many To- calities

A New Zealander named Gibson has patented and is marketing an inven- tion for branding stock without injur- ing the hide. The new process uses a chemical depilatory which permanently destroys the hair. The destruction of part of the hide was one of the bad features of the old method the brand appearing on the best part of the skin Gibson's patent will add value of s or cents at least to every hide to which it is applied, and it is needless to add that in countries like Australia and New Zealand, where millions of cattle are raised every year, such an advance in the price of hides exactly meets the desire of stock owners. The right for Australia alone has just been disposed of for $650,0O0.

the kindly medium of Mrs. Carrington's

these tender hearts worked and prayed
over the dolls. Such dolls as could be
bought would be easily broken, and so
it was decided TO make the whole

bodies stuffed with cork crumbs. The

THE SORROWFUL TREE.
1t Grows In Persia, and Blooms Only
at Night.


There is a tree in Persia TO which the
name The Sorrowful Tree" is given.
Perhaps because it blossoms only in
the evening"
When the first star appears in the
heavens. the first bud of the sorrowful
tree opens. and as the shades of night
advance and the stars thicllly stud the
sky. the buds continue gradually open
ing until the whole tree looks like one
immense white flower. On the APP
proach of dawn, when toe brilliancy OF
the stars gradually fades in the light or
day, the sorrowful tree closes its how-
ers, and ere the sun is fully risen, not
a single blossom is visible. A sheet or
fiower-duSt, as white as snow, covers
the ground around the foot of the tree,
which seems blighted and withered
during the day. while, however. 1t IS
actively preparing for the next noe
turnal festival The fragrance of the
blossoms is like that of the evening
primrose.
If the tree is cut down close to the
roots. a new plant shoots up and at
tains maturity in an incredibly short
time.
In the vicinity of this singular tree
there usually grows another, which is
almost an exact counterpart of the
sorrowful tree, but less beautiful, and
strange to say, it blooms only in the
day time

the glove tyranny by turning back the
wrist of the glove as cuff upon the
