Ihere are no novelties in table dec
orations just now, as no large dinner
parties are being given during the war
time. An deliberately decorated table
would not be considered in good taste.
and when friends are invited to din
ner a few choice flowers in glass vases
answer all practical purposes. But a
number of flowers and foliage plants
are to be seen in drawing-rooms and
entrance halls, and wall decorations
have never been more popular than
at present. Invisible bamboo stands
are used for the corners OF rooms or
halls, and the correct thing is to fill
them with alternate branches of mi

Tho sult..,s wi,e. and wealth.

It is said that If the sultan of Turkey
were allowed to consult his own tastes
he would only have n wife, instead
of the 80 he now maintains in his
harem. He dare not abolish the insti-
tuition, for he knows that the day he
saw the last of his royal harem would
also see the last OF his reign. Each oc-
cupant of the harem receives the title
Of princess, hence 1t is the ambition Of
every Turkish officer to get his daugh-
ter into 1t. She is given a large dover.
a staff Of ten servants and a coach and
four. The maintenance Of the harem
costs the country about $15,000,0 900
yearly. The sultan is probably the
richest man in Europe. He receives
100000 yearly from the country and
$4,000 70 from his private estates. HI
has $a,0o0.0 900 invested in America.

superstitlous Concerninr Errs.

There are many superstitions about
the egg. In Scotland and Ireland chill
dren are taught by their nurses to
crush the shell after eating an egg, or
to push the spoon through the bottom
in the form of a cross, showing a In
gering relic of the once general SUPER
stitious belief that witches lived in egg
shells and made boats of them, cast
ing spells upon the household. In
Italy it is believed that an egg laid by
a white hen in a new nest on Easter
day would cure pains in the head or
stomach; thai broken in a vineyard it
would prevent it's suffering from hail;
or similarly would save a field from
frost; and it's possession gave n the
power to see witches. 1t was also be-
lieved that an egg laid on Good Fri
day, thrown on the fire, would .extin-
guish it, while the devil would be kill
ed If shot with an egg laid on Christ

The drouth which resulted in.
stripping the Pacific coast ranges
OF cattle and sheep two or three
years ago is now creating a consid-
cradle demand for stockers with
which to re-stock those ranges,
which have since been restored by
copious rains, and southern stockmen
seem to be figuring on dis posing of
stock cattle in sufficient numbers
there to Offset the shortage in sales
to northwestern range men, which
is bound to prevail as long as south
ern stockers are held at their pres
ent prices. Whether the present
coast demand is sufficient to enable
the southern cattlemen to realize
this ford hope or not remains to be

Ed Reed of the Flato commission
company has just returned from a
trip down through the Texas cattle
country and reports that southern
stock cattle are being held at about
last years figures, with a decidedly
bullish feeling among the wners.
There are more cattle for sale this
year than ever before, he says, but
there is also a good demand. The
Pacific coast is needing lots of cat
tie and most Of the southern owners
seem to think that the talk of the
northern men to keep out unless
stocker prices come down is pure
bluff. No contracts have been
made yet and it is not likely that
any will be made before March.

Cot Her at Last.

President F. d. Underwood Of
the Erie railroad tells of an engineer
of fast freight train who called on
him one day and asked him to pre-
vent a deaf old woman from walk
ing on the tracks along one section
of that division. Several times the
engineer had barely missed running
over her, and he was terrified lest a
fatal accident should happen to her.
"'The only way to prevent deaf
person from walking on the track, I"
said Mr.. Underwood, would be to
cut his legs of"
"That is just what l will do for
my deaf old woman if you cannot
stop her." replied the engineer.
Investigation showed that she was
accustomed to go to summer hotel
to sell baskets and embroidery fand
that the railroad afforded her a
short cut to her destination. She
was demonstrated with, but it did
no good. "And do you know" said
Mr.. Underwood, "she was finally
run over. That very engineer call

his cheeks, one day and reported,

Horse With an Umbrella.

There is a grocer in Roxborough
who has bay horse with strange
white mark on its forehead. The
mark Is some ten inches long; it
runs from between the ears down
nearly to the nostrils, and it is a per-
feet picture of a closed umbrella.
The handle of the umbrella is
straight and slim, like the ferrule,
and to the fact that handle and fer
rule are precisely alike an extraor-
binary thing about the mark is due.
In rainy weather the white hairs of
the mark, becoming wet, part in the
middle and spread out. This causes
the umbrella to seem to be opened,
to be raised, and what had been the
ferrule in dry weather is the handle
now that it is wet, The grocer says
proudly of his horse, "Where is
there an animal with a stranger
mark than that-a mark that is a
closed umbrella when the sun shines
and an open one when it rains T-
