many impurities,
3-The manufacture Of artificial

lures ofSthe great exhibition. This
article will be claborately Illustrated
This February issue of Leslio's
Monthly is full of entertaining fca-
lures, and while the number has a
DECIDEDLY individual character, it
appeals by its variety to the most
| diverse tastes. For those who love
| tho water, thrro is an article on the
''Elshermen of tho Groat Lakcs," Il
raco trained to ono Of tho most fasci,
mating of trades. For tho lover Of
art thero is n ploasant paper of
"reminiscences Of Ridgway Knight,
filled with beautiful illustrations,
For those who prefer adventure, tho
Sand Hogs Of Caisson Sinking" will
provo absorbing, ard all who caro- for
tho study Of human nature will read
with keen interest tho truc history of
"Tho Last Of tho Fighting Eltors,"
class which has g;von to tb jour
nalism Of tho West and South its
piquant flavor.
The strong, fresh interest in his
tory which the crowding experiences
of tho last four years have given to
the men and womou Of the United
States, is abundantly rcconized The
best historian Of our Navy, Mr.. John
II. Spears, contributes paper upon
the "Muting on the Somcrs," that
extraordinary occasion when, to pro
serve the discipline Of the American
Navy, son of tho United States
Secretary of War was hung at the
yard arm. And we wish to call at
tention to Il charming romance of
history: "Grandsir's Charge" which
takes for its toxt tho dramatic
situation dopicated upon the maga-
zine, tho "Surrendrr Of General Bur
goyno."
Among great numbers Of tho
American people, n lovo for tho study
of genonlogy is steadily waxing, but
we doubt whether the Daughters of
the Revolution or thoColonial Danes
themselves could pass an examination
upon the general laws of decent. 1t
is interesting to know that all of us
Anglo-Saxons arc cousins Of Queen
Victoria, and equally 80 that we may
call any prisoner of the Tombs cousin,
and still bo we'll within our rights.
Tho subject is treated by Mr.. Duncan
Rose.

tains particularly high standard
Among all Mrs, McCuIloch Williams

But keeps right on proceeding
To regulate affairs.
And when her work is ended

Speed off in all directions
And thank their lucky stars
That they may still get thirsty

WOMEN AS BUILDERS.
Some Energetic Women Breaking Into
 Field of Carpentering.

Field of Carpentering.
 House building is one of the late in- dustries entered into by women in the United States. A year ago it was a German woman and her two daughters that built brick house in Chicago, now it is Mrs. George Lease in Ken tucNy, to be explicit, at Fountain Fer ry Park, near Louisville Mr and Mrs. Lease are young married people and anxious to have a house of their own, but unable to hire an architect and carpenters. Therefore the materials were bought and the house was beinA built in the end of August and very likely is done by this time for it was to be one-story house of four rooms, with a stone foundation. The story seems to be this: MT. Lease wished to build the house because he had work and it was necessary to do it. Tho stone was bought, the lumber bought and while the husband is gone during the day the wife tugs the tim bers and sets them in place when the husband comes home at night they work together, and to such purpose that when the story was written Mrs. Lease was shingling and expected to lathe and plaster as soon as that was finished. There Was pluck, strength and perseverance. Even more enter prising is Miss Sara l.. Cunning, who has this summer furnished her a home on Fourth Lake in the Adirondacks with the work of her own hands. ! Tables and chairs were made from branches of white birch with the bark left on, and being a woman she made the chairs serve a double pur- pose, boxing them with boards, mak- ing the seats With a cover so that each chair is a cupboard. Here bookcases and closets are made from her pack ing boxes, and one serves for corner stand. In another tent, which serves as kitchen Miss Cunning has made dresser cupboards and tables. On the edge of the lake she has built dock for her boating convenience and i'll the big hemlOck before her door she has built reading room, which she reach es by a flight of steps, also made by her. Most of her materials are fOt~ sam and jetsam found on the lake It is understesd that thl pride of her heart is the stairway to her dock, or rather it is it's handrail of which she is proud This is made of small birch tree trunks, nailed to the trees on either side, and their graceful curves and beautiful color add much beauty l to the original stairway.

HEBREW NEW YEAR.
Annual Holiday Generally Observed by
 the Jewish People.


 One of the two great Jewish annual holidays-the Jewish New Year-fell this year on Monday, Sept. 24. In &C., cordance with immemorial custom the day was celebrated m every part of the world where there is colony of Jews, large or small, with special re- ligious services appropriate to the day. The strictly orthodox Jews take two days to celebrate the New Years anni- versary. and their services continued during Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 24 and 25. In all synagogues, radical and orthodox alike, the New Years cele- bration began on the evening previous that is, sunday, Sept. 25. On Mon day morning all the synagogues held solemn religious services. The ritual in the liberal synagogues was espec- iany elaborate for the occasion, al- though many of the older literal ob- servations were omitted. The blow ing of the rams horn, for instance, which is feature of the orthodox celebration, was supplanted from the choir In the reformed synagogues there is usually special sermon ap- propriate to the occasion In the or thouox synagogues the New Years services are more or less constant dur ing the two days set apart Among the orthodox Jews it is customary to suspend business entirely during the two days of New Years services. The Jewish New Years festival marks the beginning of the month of Tishrl- corresponding to September October ill the Christian calendar. It is also the first of the civil year, corresponding to the seventh month of Mosaic or ecclesiastical year According to the Jewish reckoning, the recent festival ushered in the year 5661. The distin- gushing feature of the celebration in all orthodox synagogues is the blow ing of horns in accordance with the Levitical code, announcing the usher ing in of another year. Among the so- cial customs of the Jewish New Year is the sending of cards of remembrance to absent friends or relatives. The other great yearly holiday of the Jews, the Day of Atonement, comes ten days later, and fell this year on Oct. 5. The Day of Atonement is solemn occa- sion for fasting and prayer, and is universally observed by all classes of Jews

Platinum chains, on which sl.e hung jeweled pendants, are worn with a string Of pearls and arranged so that only the pendant shows below the pearls, the little chain being hidden underneath. Those platinum chains are not inexpensive and many people do not think them as attractive as the gold ones, but for the purpose for which they are worn they are much more fashionable. The setting in plat mum is also used for the jewels that form the pendant, and even pearls of value that have diamond casing have the diamonds set in platinum instead of gold

VEGETABLE LAMB.
Fern in China Resembles a Young Sheep
 Browsing.

Browsing.
 There is wonderful species of fern that grows in China called the tara rian lamb. Under this name 1t was first described by Sir Hans Sloane, who not unjustly claimed that it much re- sembled that four-feoted bit of gentle ness. In fact, the plant does illustrate a most peculiar form of vegetable growth. The underground root is thick and decumbent, while the great stem is pushed horizontally out of the ground by four inferior | inches or this root, which answer, of course, to the lambs four legs. Besides holding the same position as the body of the i lamb the stem IS covered densely With a soft and pale yellowish wool. Toward the end, which would answer to the neck of the lamb, tais stem is declined as though the creature Were browsing. 1 In China there is rather an uncanny sentiment associated with the tartarlan lamb, as it is there believed to destroy all other plants within it's vicinity, but in India, where for many years it has 1 been pldnled, It IS HeiQ very iliSHlN III esteem. Tf re it's thick down is called the golden moss, and native doc,, IFS travel miles that they may gather it to use incidentally for the stopping of hemorrhages In such dread do those who know it stand of it's b, coming Nx- tinct that more than ordinary in ducement and promise of good faith is necessary before they will reveal the spot where it grows.
