Student Was Getting Gay.

It was at Chicago medical college
and a ''quiz' was being held. Among
the students was funny man who was
suspected of trying to play to the gal
leries' by always twisting his answers
so as to raise laugh. One of his hits,
although not strictly original, was his
description of a very remarkable red
bat he had seen. The professor and the
class were very much interested. The
professor was skeptica1 and intimated
that he would be more satisfied were
he to see it. Give brought it with me, -
said the student. And taking the pa

bat. The other day he was asked about

FASHIONS PARASOLS.

Some of the Latest Fancies In Seasons
i.%5- Sunshades..
- IF the woman VINO uses parasol
would be particularly far in advance
Of her feminine rivals this summer
she will buy herself the very latest
creation in parasol ingenuity, the sun
shade with square edges. 1t is not a
thing of beauty, perhaps, but at least
it is strikingly odd and to be odd is
at least to be noticed. The square
parasol is covered with a bandana
handkerchief in the gaudiest pattern
obtainable and the effect is certainly
bizarre !. and unusual. The newest
handles for the seasons parasols are
club shaped, and some Of them are
adorned with punches of flowers and
fruit. Among the elaborate handles
wooden ones are seen mounted in gold
and silver. and set with real or imlta-:
ton jewels. Ivory coral, and lapis,
*lazllli are also cut up into the parasoI.
handles. Parasols for morning SER.
vice are. always of plain design and
material. Silk is. of course the rule
For carriage use a white satin sun
shade is always a desirable requisi zion
and it may be beautifed by lace but
terflies and flowers appliqued upon the
satin. One Of the fancy shades shows
a parasol formed of stitched bands of
white taffeta put together with strips
of insertion and hemstitching.- Ch:ca

t The cypress in ancient times was
considered sacred tree and idols
were made of cypress wood. The Pa
office coast Indians used it as an en-
lblem OF publication. The Dakotan In
d1ans had superstition concerning
the cedar tree. They imagined that
thunder was manifestation of the
storm god Wa-Kan-Da, thunder birds,
as his messengers, producing the noise
designated as thunder. These birds
lived in cedar trees. and hence the
cedar tree became an object of worship
and the cedar pole an emblem of the
