Here are few samples Of the nb-
surdities arising out OF the extreme
simplicity OF some Irish folk
A young man came to confess 70 an
Irish priest In London whose expert
ences of the humors OF his fellow coun-
trymen would fill a book. We'll my

earn your livingT I'm an acrowbat.

plused. "Tll show ye what | mean In
a brace OF shakes" said the penltent.
and In moment was turning himself
inside out in the most approved zero
batic fashion in and out of the pews.
An old woman who had followed him
10 confession looked on horrifed.
she gasped, "for the love Of God don't
put penance on me like that. Ii 'ud
be the death of me"
think 1t was the same good father
who, observing the regular attendance
at a Lent mission had done nothing TO
reform one of his paris uioners, told him
so and asked him the reason OF It,
"Ah. father" he replied, 81 can man
age the faith right enough, but the NOR

on another occasion this priest was
called upon TO marry a man OF whom
he knew nothing TO u girl OF his congre-
gntion. on investigation he found the
would be bridegrooms knowledge OF
the Catholic faith very limited.

asked. "Well, father, l can't trust me

sity.
The expedition was commissioned by
the Geographic society to proceed to
Martinique and elsewhere in the vicin-
lty to investigate the effect on land or
sea of the recent eruption of Mont Pc
lee, with it's attendant seismic and
other phenomena in the West Indian
Islands.
Professor Robert T. Hill is the head
Of the expedition of scientists. He ex-
poets to gather some valuable informa-
ton regarding the phenomena attend
ing volcanoes and hopes to solve some
of the problems connected with the
causes of tidal waves, gales, typhoons,
storms and other disturbances of the
elements that precede and follow VIC
lent volcanic eruptions.
Professor Hill is singularly well
| equipped for this work. He is an ac-
| knowledged authority on geology and
has made a special study of the geo.
| logic formation and the volcanic his
tory of the West Indian islands. He
returned last year from an extended
visit to that region and was to pub
| fish a book entitled "Cuba and Porto
Rico, With Other Islands Of the West
Indies" in which he predicted the
doom of the islands of the Lesser An
| TILES.
DR.. Thomas A. Jaggar of Harvard
university though the youngest of the
party, has already made name fol

EASEMENT CURTAINS.
A Quaint Summer style For Cottages
and Low Pitched Rooms.

A Quaint summer style For Cottages
and Low Pitched Rooms.
First impressions go far in houses,
as in faces. AS the first impression Of
a face is given by the eyes, so is that
of house, TO a great extent, by its
windows. Therefore little study to
secure a pleasing aspect in them is
worth while. The subject of window
blinds and draperies is, however, a big
one, and the best a writer can do is to
give few hints which may be of as
siStance in deciding the question, so
momentous at this season, of tasteful
window draperies and which may read
lily be turned to account to suit the
idiosyncrasies Of any particular room.
On the familiar and probably peren-
NAL roller blind there is not much to
be said except that as to material and
coloring a considerably widened scope
now exists for making this an orna-
mental accessory. A picturesque old
house, however, or the modern resi-
dence built after it's pattern, calls for
something less commonplace to fulfill
the same purpose, and here the case
ment blinds, which are steadily gain
ing favor, step in in a manner that is
at once artistic and practical. With
them has come the introduction Of a
class of fabrics possessed of strDng at
fractions from a decorative point of
view as well as from that of utility.
Easement cloths, when of light all
wool texture, are admirable for hang
ing in soft folds; when, however, more
light is necessary, there are others,
rather more transparent, with a silky
finish.
Besides these there are linens and
other materials in natural shades and
an extensive range of good colorings,
sometimes plain, sometimes printed,
with which extremely pleasing effects
are obtainable. Easement blinds pos
sess the advantage of being very easy
to make and to fit to the window, while
by their means it is possible to regulate
the admittance or exclusion of the light
to nicely, each blind being run upon
small rod, so that it can be drawn
just as far across it's own section of the
window as may be wished There is
yet to be added the by no means minor

md is we'll equipped for the work in
hand He is native of Philadelphia
and thirty-one years old.
Professor Russell is prominent in the
scientific world for his explorations in
Alaska and among the high sierras of
the western United States. He has
written a work on the volcanoes of
North America. which, like that of Pro-
fessor Hill, is employed by the govern
ment and used as a standard textbook
in all universities.
Probably the most experienced ex-
plorer of the party is Professor Borch-
grevink, who has achieved distinction
rs having been nearer the antarctic
pole than any other man. His intrepid
ity and courage are well known. Dur
ing one of his two journeys to the ant
arctic regions he passed q winter in the
antarctic continent. During that stay
he made special study of the volca-
noes of the region.
1t will be seen that the party is well
qualified to obtain valuable and salts
factory data regarding the terrible dis
hster that occurred through the erup-
ton of Mont Pelee. These results will
be carefully written out upon their re-
turn and given in full to the members

The prettiest way of making them up

The sketch shows how an ordinary
prosaic sash window can be redeemed
from the level of the commonplace by

The draperies are left to hang per
fectly straight, as should always be
the case with soft materials. thus Civ
ing full value to the folds in which
they naturally fall.
Simplicity is the first characteristic
of all easement curtains, which are
therefore as fitting window draperies
as could be for the country cottage
| type of house with small, low pitched
rooms. They suit with the quaint and
picturesque rather than the elaborate
and elegant in furnishing.
