LITTLE FEMININE FIx1NGs.
Pretty Odds and Ends That Give Dis
tinctiOn to Costume of the
Season.

Among the pretty odds and ends to
be worn with white shirt waists are
ties of half-inch black velvet ribbon
finished at each end with a gilt pen
dant. The ribbon is cut a yard and a
half long, and passes around the neck
once and ties in front with two even
loops and ends.
Narrow four-in-hand scarfs have
the ends slightly gathered and fin
ished with wide flat pendants, says
Ladies' Home Journal.
Ribbon collars have the ends gath
cred and thrust into the open top of
a gilt spike.
The newest thing in the way of a
belt fastener is buckle in the form
of brooch which pins the ribbon or
velvet belt in place in the front.
The rage for dangling ornaments
seems to be upon us, and belts of vel
vet, silk and ribbon are finished with
rosettes of narrow velvet ribbon with
from two to eight ends from IS to 25
inches long finished off with gilt
pendants.
Black velvet ribbon continues to be
popular, and where a quantity of it
is used even the most fashionable
dressmakers use the cotton backed.
The new and pretty trimming used
so much on evening gowns and silk
bodices cannot be purchased ready
made, but fortunately it is not diff
cult to make. It is used to finish col
lars, revers, yolzes, etc, and is really
a tucked ruche of Eousseliae.

Grey or Gray3

Do you write grey or gray? IF
you are wise you write both, giving
to each its special application. EX-
actly what that application should
be is not so easily expressed, but
who does not feel that some things
are grey and others gray? Mr.. Brad
ley tells us of an inquiry into the
question of usage made by DR.. Muir
ray in 1898. The replies showed that
Gin Great Britain the form grey is
the more frequent in use, notwith-
standing the authority of Johnson
and later English photographers, who
have all given the preference to gray.
In answer to questions as to their
practice, the printers of the Times
stated that they always used the
form gray; Messrs. Spottiswoode and
Messrs. Cloves always used grey;
other eminent printing firms had no
fixed rule. Many correspondents said
that they had used the two forms
with a difference of meaning on APP
plication, the distinction most gen
orally recognized being that grey de-
notes more delicate or a lighter
tint than gray. Others considered the
err color or that it has n mixture of
red or brown. There seems to be
nearly absolute unanimity as to the
spelling of the Scots Greys,' "a pair
of greys.'" Yet grey has more of
sentiment, gray more of color.-Acad-

FISHERIES OF CANADA.

The total number of fur seals taken
by Canadian sealers during the year
1900 was 35,523.
The lobster plant alone is estimated
to be worth $1,334,1sO. 1t comprises
SIS canneries, dispersed on the sea-
board of the maritime provinces.
The sealing fleet last year num-
bered 81 vessels, an increase of II
over the previous year, and represent
ing an aggregate of 2,641 tons regis

Fire Alarm for buildings.

4 new electric fire alarm is intend
ed to announce the appearance of
fire to passers-by outside the building
in which it is placed. 1t consists &c
metallic case containing a charge
of pyrotechnic compound similar to
Bengal light, and surmounted by a
small igniting fuse. The whole is
made water-tight, and is arranged to
be put in position on cornice or
other prominent part of the build
ing. The fuse is connected through
thermostats with a battery, so that
high temperature in the vicinity of
one of the thermostats closes the cir

which is sufficient to irrigate 500 acres
of trees or 200 acres of alfalfa. By the
use of the sun motor the item of fuel
is entirely done away with. Steam is
raised on sunshiny days by turning
the mirror frame until the proper
focus is obtained on the boiler. The
supply of water in the boiler and the
working of the machinery are ar
ranged automatically, so that little
human labor is needed in connection
with its use. The most immediate and
important use of the new motor is ex-
pected to be the furnishing of sup
ply of water for irrigating the sandy
deserts of the southwest, where the
sun shines brightly for more than 20
per cent. of the days and fuel is almost
impossible to obtain.

MONSTER SOLAR MOTOR.
Heat of the Sun Utilized to Run the
Engine of an Irrigation Plant
I'm California.

The first sun motor to be put to
practical everyday use is believed to
be that recently installed at Pasadena,
Cal. It's principle is as old as man. It's
application is new. By means of a
huge construction of mirrors, resem-
bling an inverted umbrella on large
scale, the heat of the suns rays is con-
centrated on a long cylindrical boiler,
which without the application of any
other heat furnishes sufficient steam
for the running of ten horsepower
engine. The engine is at work pump
ing water from well IL feet deep.

FUNERAL TROLLEY CAR.
Baltimore Street Railway Companies
Have Had One Built Mt COnsid-
erabIe ENDenae.

Baltimore has a number of fine
suburban cemeteries, all of which are
reached by some division of the street
railway lines, and the company found
by putting in few crossovers they
could take a car from any part of the
city to any one of the burying grounds.
1t was, therefore, decided to offer cars
for transportation of funeral parties,
says the Street Railway Review. The
company built special car well adapt
ed for the purpose. The car is di-
vided into two compartments, the
smaller of which has running its full
length another compartment or vault
in which the casket is carried. a
heavy plate glass door hinged to swing
downward gives access to the vault
from the outside. When casket is
to be placed in the car, the shelf is
drawn out, the casket lifted upon it,
and the shelf is then pushed back in
place. The larger compartment has
12 cross seats in the center aisle, Civ
ing a seating capacity of "a; the small
er compartment has four seats. Heavy
black curtains divide this section into
two private compartments for the i'm
mediate family of the deceased. Floral
contributions ara piled upon the top
of the vault. and can be seen from

and out with black enamel with nickel
plated fixtures. The car has been
named Dolores" meaning sorrow,
and it is rented at from $40 to S25 for

work THAT IS NEVER DONE,
Household Duties That Are Ever Re-
CURING in the Lives OF Wives
and Mothers.

eff things would only stay done-if
/ could look back over the day and see
one thing accomplished that will not
have to be done over again tomorrow,
l should not get so tired of it OF feel so
discouraged"
How many millions of wives and
mothers have made some such COM
ment as this on the monOtony of
household tasks! 1t is not alone the
deadly sameness, the constant repeti-
ton of little duties; it is even more
the feeling of futility, the apparent
failure to accomplish any enduring re-
suits. The bread that was baked this
morning will be gone tomorrow. The
dishes are washed and put away only
to be used and washed ag1rfn. The
linen fresh from the ironing-table will
be back in the laundry by the end of
the week. The rooms swept clean the
other day already need sweeping
| again. The children call for endless
sympathy and attention.
A mans work may be ever so hards
it is less often c1ouded by this sense
of unproductiveness. 1t usually
brings definite reward in the feeling
of something accomplished, some
tangible result achieved. The archi-
tect points to the finished building and
says: 81 designed it, The carpenter
and the mason who see the structure
| growing under their hands know that
it will stand for years, an unimpeach-
able witness to their industry and
faithfulness, says Youths Companion.
But the things which are tangible
are not always those which are most
real or most useful. There are other
noble works besides fine buildings.
The young man who goes out into the
world healthy and clean-minded,
strong in principles which he acquired
at home, and firm in the belief that
there is no other woman in the world
quite SO good as his mother-he is
nObler work even than a Parthenon
or a Tai Mahal. And the daughter who
has grown to womanhood with a pure
heart, and hands trained to perpetu-
ate in a new home the deeds of use

old-is she less to the world than

When Farmer Never-mind-it found
The winter had fulfilled Its span,
He hustled out, and hurried round,
AND hired his neighbours extra man;
And through the spring till almost May
He FILTERED half his time away.
He let his broken fences lie
just where the winds had thrown them
last;
As for the weeds, he wondered why
They got ahead of him so fast;
But. when a weed began to show
He let ii go, and let it grow.
When Farmer Perseverance sowed
His valley-gardens, rich and wide'
He mended fences, weeded, hoed,
With all sturdy toiler's pride;
And, all the growing season through
He said he found enough to do.
And when upon his well-kept farm
A blight would satisfy its greed,
He made amends for every harm,
And kept ahead of every weed;
And, If the weather fouled or cleared,
He persevered. and persevered.
