Flowers in the Hair.

One long discarded custom is be-
ing brought into favor-that of wear
ing a flower in the hair. Had woman
realized to what extent the pretty
custom was admired and even loved
by the majority of the opposite sex 1t
never would have fraternized with
the spinning wheel, the blue dishes
and the lace mits in the dim and cob
webbed garret of things past.
To man. and that man sweet
heart, this little art, for such it is,
of putting a flower in the hair is a
signal to all the sensitive sentiment
within him. If you doubt this, look
to the voicings of the poets. There
you will find holding sway and run
ming riot as roses on an old wall,
such phrases as "a blossom In her
tresses," "a flower to bewitch me
in her hair" and that rose above her
ear was my undoing."
Whether the hair be black or
brown, red or gold, the charm of
primeval femininity remains the
same.

The strongest enemy of liberal

ton of Drocurator general of the holy

held since 1880. On more than one
occasion he has successfully prevent.
ed the carrying out of plans which
would have made the imperial gov
ernment less of a despotism than it
is. The great rsactionary statesman
has been described as a thin. dry,
bloodless. emotionless ascetic. His
dress is clerical. his habits are
methodical and it is said that he
never jokes. His. retirement will
mean the removal from public affairs
or the strongest man in the empire
and the greatest enemy of anything
approaching representative govern
ment.

New Propeller Blades.

An Australian inventor has devised
means of manufacturing propeller
blades of very serviceable nature
at comparatively small cost. The
most durable blades are those OF
bronze, and their cost Is considerable.
and cast iron is more generally used.
The latter are, however, more liable
to damage by breaking and corrosion.
The inventor above referred to has
noticed with others that the most vul-
nerable part of the blade was the tip.
and his process provides for the burn
ing OF bronze or cast-iron tips on
blades OF cast metal. A damaged
blade is taken of and the defective
part replaced in very short time.
