among the audience, one or more or
the luminous marbles being concealed
in the hand. The exhibitor then takes
a marble from some one in the au-

have the lights turned down. AS this
is done he substitutes the luminous

pnsslbrltles of Language.

New York Tribune: A number of
commercial travellers were telling
stories in an uptown restaurant last
night, and this was youched for by one
who used to be a railroad conductor in
eastern Pennsylvania: MY train had
always reached Lebanon just after an
express train, but the schedule was
changed so as TO bring my train into
the station first. A voluble Pennsylva-
MIA Dutch woman was a regular pas
senger on market days, as my train
stopped at her station, while the ex-
press whizzed by. The first evening
that I ran my train in ahead OF the ex-
press she was much astonished and de-
lighted. She rushed up to me and ex-
claimed, in the high key and peculiar
dialect of that region: Wy, you're
early of late; you're first at last; you
used to be behind before!'"

wv Absorbs Moisture.

There is a current opinion that ivy
has a tendency to rot the thing to
which il elings. This is true of a large
number of other climbing plants, but
not of ivy, for it renders the walls of
almost every house to which it clings
entirely free from damp, extracting ev-
cry particle Of moisture from wood,
brick or stone for its own su%sterance.
This it does by neal Of its tiny roots,
which can work their way even into
the hardest stone. When the walls
are well covered with ivy the overlap
ping leaves will conduct water falling
upon them from point to point until
the ground Is reached without allow
ing the walls to receive any moisture
whatever from the beating rain. II
there should be an exceptional case Of
UNCOVERED walls showing signs of
dampness. that will be found to arise
from their having been erected on a
wet and improperly drained site.

HER IRRATIONAL DRESS,
Lady Harberton a Good Deal Disguised
at Lord Salisbury.

Lady Harberton a Good Deal Disguised
at Lord Salisbury.
One reads Lord Salisbury's remarks
at the Royal Academy banquet on the
subject OF women's dress with some
amazement," said Lady Harberton to a
representative of the London Daily
News. Evidently the outline present
ed by some cycling skirts and ration
ais are not what his lordship happens
to consider graceful, and that such
forms as do not come up to a certain
ideal standard are to be relegated to a
place at once low and warm, But let
the members of the Rational Dress
league and Others take heart, for when
we consider the popular pictures of the
noble lord himself, smothered in great
coats, and in outline otherwise unlike
representations of Apollo Belvidere, we
may be sure that wherever we are there
also will he be. The place to which he
would consign us may be warm, but at
least it will not be dull, for our witty
premier will be present to cheer us
with some of his delightful comments
on passing events. In the meantime
let us look with calm collectedness at
the position women's dress is begin
ming to in the public mind. III
skirted dress with its attendant dis
gushing nakedness for evening dress Is
really so charming and desirable, 1t
seems strange hat ii should require 20
much bolstering up on all sides to pre-
vent a revolution. But the fact Is that
education and knowledge OF hygiene
are slowly beginning to bear fruit, and
the exceeding folly and discomfort of
women's dress are becoming a little
too glazing for them to be quite sure
a change would not be desirable. That
the dresses worn for cycling are not
necessarily indecent, because made on
a new principle, is now admitted on all
hands. Rude remarks and things of
that sort become, therefore. a distinct
interference with individual liberty.
and signs are not wanting on the part
Of the public that the day OF quiescent
liberation of insults to women because
they prefer to cycle in a dress which
enables them to do so in comfort and
safety is nearly over. So, perhaps, Lord
Salisbury may find himself frequently
in the company of cycling skirts and
knickerbockers, without going to such
a far-off place as he limited IT in his
speech"
