Pretty Wedding Custom.

"A pretty custom at English royal
weddings has been in vogue since the
marriage of Queen Victoria. A sprig
of myrtle from her bridal wreath
was planted. When the princess roy
al, the late Empress Frederick of
Germany, became a bride, the little
branch had grown to be a tree, and
in turn contributed to her chaplet.
She followed her mothers example,
and when the present emperor of Ger.
many was mayied his bride wore
sprigs cut from his mothers tree.
The practice was observed in the mar
rage of the prince of Wales, and has
been adopted by all of Queen Vic
toria's children and grandchildren
who have married.-N. Y. World.

HAND LOSES ITS cUNN ING.
According to This Authority Dex>
terity of Most Human Beings
Ends at the Age of Forty.

The brain of a great man remains
in fine working order long after his
hands, directed by that brain, have
lost their dizziness. That is one of the
curious things of life. There are
plenty of instances of men who have
reached the allotted age of life oon-
tinuing in the activities of the world
as long as those activities are of the
brain and not of the hand. But the
mechanics highest skill is shown
when he is between the ages of 80
and 40. After the latter age his hand
loses its cunning, but if his brain has
been taught to work he can continue
to labor and may even surpass the
earning power of his hand. After 40
the muscles do not respond nearly
as certainly and readily to the orders
and the willingness of the brain, and
a mans handiwork begins to fall off
in it's earning capacity. Yet in the
case of the brain it is only after 40
that it really begins its best work
the work that endures and is called
famous long after the man has ceased
to be, says the New York Press.
A good instance of the early death
of manual activity is seen in the butt
ton trade. A skillful button maker
in his prime. between 80 and 40 years
of age, can make $11 or SIP week,
being in ivory an output each day on
his lathe of 6,240 buttons. When he
gets to be As years old if he can make
six or seven dollars week he is
lucky, while 20 years later, even if he.
still enjoys sound health and faeuI--
ties, all he can make is five dollars a.
week. In this trade. of course, one
hand is used principally. In farming
or seafaring, or in some other yoca-
tons in which the energy of the mus
cles is distributed equally over the
body, the physical activity does not
dwindle as soon, and sometimes in
these cases of equal development and
use of the muscles the physical being
outlasts the mental, but these excep-
tional cases are not those of mechan-
les in these days of division of labor.

FRILLS OF FASHION.
Pretty Notions That Are Being
Adopted by the Smart
Dresscfs.

Fobs for the watch are in fashion
again for women, and they are worn
tucked through the belt. All the old
devices which the jeweler can invent
are wrought out in these little fancies,
every sort of fancy stone, as we'll as
valuable gems, being used in the varied
designs, while for riding there is a
leather fob with a fancy monogram
for ornament, says the New York Sun.
Brown and green, green and black,
brown and gray, gray with green and
silver are some of the new combina-
lions of colors.
Gold gird.es set with jewels are one
of the novelties of the hour. Whether
they are in rope design or links, the
workmanship is exquisite. They are
Worn fastened low in front with dang
ling ENDS to which purse or some use
full ornament is suspended.
Rather short sash ends with loops,
or soft rosette finish at the waist
line, are one feature of the new dressy
gowns. They are usually made of soft
silk drawn in with tasseled finish at
the end, and attached either at one
side of the front or directly in the
back.
So many shades of re d are to be worn
this season that many women seem to
be laboring under the impression that
plum shades are back again, too. But
that is hardly the case, as the new reds
range from the bright red wine shades

prevailing tint.
A reform is contemplated in mourn
ing apparel for children. which will do
away with black gowns and substitute
all white in their place, a large bow on
the child's hat being the only touch of
black.
Six embroidered buttons are one of
the novel features of the new shirt
waists and they come in all colors to
match the material.
The new stocks are prettier and
more dainty than ever, and are made
with some reference to the waist with
which they are to be worn. For ex-
ample, if YOU have blue Tanned shirt
waist the stock is of white taffeta with
blue taffeta silk edging the turn over
band, which has three small blue EN-
broidered rings sewn in each corner.
And then there are all sorts and kinds
of neck scarfs of silk and crepe de
chine with lace applique and embroid-
cred ends. Scarfs of chiffon with Gre
tonne flowers on the end cost SIS, but
very pretty embroidered ones can be
bought for three dollars.
