by women in the very smart set this
fall and winter. It will be exhibited
at the opening of the milliners con-

the prophecy is that it will become the

Will it become popular because of
It's name?" was a question asked Of
Madame Perfer, New York milliner
and maker of fashions
No; in spite of it," she replied.
There is story back of the Harry

creations and they pay enormous
prices for them but they do not know

For Peace Only.

1t is well known that the Friends
have always been devoted to the prin-
ciples of peace. AS they had Il con-
trolling influence in the public affairs
of Nantucket, there was no military
organization ON that island for several
generations. How the matter was man
aged is told by the author of "Septem-
Der Days on Nantucket"
Whenever military companies came
to the island for Il holiday young wom-
en- thronged the windows and waved
handkerchiefs, but there was no rise of
military ambition in the town. Once a
coterie of young men formed a train
ing company and sent to Boston for
equipments, but their elders compelled
them to make the first article of their
constitution read: This company shall
be disbanded Immediately in ase of
war"

SarlineS.

Genuine sardines are the young of
the pilchard. Their name comes from
the fact that they are most numerous
off the coast of Sardinia. They swim
In the spring in shoals containing mil
lions-ish shaped shoals ten miles long
and a half mile wide. The sardines are
Melted and taken at once to the shore.
There they are washed, scraped and
sprinkled with salt. The salt is soon
removed, the heads and gills cut off
and there is another washing. Then,
on beds of green brush, the fish are
dried in the sun. Next they are boiled
in olive oil till cooked thoroughly.
The packers-women always-take
them now and pack them in the tin
boxes we all know, filling up each box
with boiling oil, fitting on the lid and
making the box air tight by soldering
the joints together with a jet of hot
steam. Sardines are more or less per-
feet according as they are prepared
more or less Immediately after their
capture and according as the oil they
are packed in is more or less pure.

from the sea, that The resolved it for
his own possession in the partage of the

ORIGIN OF THE TOMATO
There Is No Record of "a Time When
II crew Wild.


Tie tomato is Il native of South
America and more particularly of Peru
and the Andean resiOn. The Indian
name for it is ''tumatl' and the Spanish
name tomato When the Spaniards
arrived in the sixteenth century they
considered nothing of much Importance
except silver. But in 1888 they took
some toIeatoes home with them as a
matter of curiosity. little dreaming
that there would some day be more
silver in them than there was in all
the Peruvian mines. There is a gen.
eral impression that until sixty or
seventy years ago the tomato plant
was universally regarded as Il poisonous
weed and that its handsome fruit was
called the love apple" and never cul-
tivated except as something pleasant
to ook upon. But his story is incon-
sistent with itself. The tomato was
called the love apple" for the reason
that it was believed to be an aphrodis-
lac, or eXcitant of amorous feelings.
But it could not even be suspected Of
such a property unless it had been
h%abitually eaten. The truth is that
there is no record of Il time when in
south America the tomato was not
an article of food. There is indeed no
facofd of Il time when it grew wild.
When the Spaniards reached Peru they
found nothing but the cultivated to-
mato, which was cultivated for food.
They took Il fancy to it and took it to
Spain. from which place it found its
way in 1906 to England.

To and fro march the sentries in
front of Buckingham palace, meeting
face to face for a moment and then
separating without a word, as if their
feud were too deep for speech. This
spectacle is watched with sympathetic
interest by American visitors, who oc-
c~asionally intervene. The sentries were
glaring at each other one morning when
a stranger standing close by remarked,
Come, boys, make it up Another
American proposed to heal the breach
with a little friendly conversation.
"Say, does your king live here?' he
opened genially. The two sentries
stared impassively and then resumed
their tramp. Up came a policeman.
Can tell you anything, sir?' said he.
Eyes" answered the American. Tell
me why these young hearts are silent
and sore. Anyhow, why can't they
whistle, We never speak when we pass
