Overflow of Lava,

The overflow, Of lava from volcanoes
is tremendous in some instances, aHd
the amount that is deposited over the
sides of the mountains and poured into
the valleys is almost beyond compre-
hension. At first the lava spouts up
into the air to a considerable height.
and then pours slowly over the edge
of the crater in an apparently mex.
haustible stream. In the ercuptior
of Nlauna Loa in 1852 the lava which
burst out of the base Of the mountain
into the sea formed wave from 2OC
to 7G0 feet in height and 1000 feet
broad that overwhelmed everything in
it's way.

Ipnorance About the scaIlop.

Fishermen say they know less about

ketable shellfsh. No one seems tt
know just what they live on, although
all agree that they die in their second
year. They are not at all to be relied
on so far as staying in one place il
concerned. They move, like other b.
valves, by opening and closing their
shells, but they attempt much longer
voyages than the oyster OF clam. When
on the move they go forward about
three feet at a time, and the jumps
are taken with great rapidity. They
move about from harbor to harbor in
his way, and no locality is sure of
having second crop the following
year. The scaflop beds are usually dis
covered by accident or after long
search. The fishermen take them from

The GrowIs of Grizzled Bachelor.
Old bachelors know great deal
about women. If they did not, they
wouldn't be old bachelors.
Nobody knows why a woman when
she trips over rocking chair always
blames her husband for it as loon as
he comes home.
During courtship, he talks and she
listens. After marriage, the order
is reversed, or else they both talk, and
the neighbors listen.-July Smart Set.

Dress of the Filipino LUon1en

1t is the general belief that the wo-
men of the Orient are clothed in flow
ing robes of gorgeous colors. The
dress of the Filipino women does not
flow. Nowhere in the world, either
in the Orient or Occident, do women
array themselves more simply than in
the Philippines, and nowhere is there
less difference in dress between poor
and rich.
A light chemisette of maguey
cloth or pima, the sleeves of which are
but a few inches long, and a simple
skirt of cotton or silk, gracefully fold
ed about the waist almost like a tur-
ban, constitute the Filipino woman's
wardrobe. On going 10 mass she adds
to this a peculiar waterproof shawl,
black outside and royal purple inside,
one corner of which comes over the
head like monks cowl. All classes
alike wear heelless slippers without
backs, called chinelas, that give the
Filipino women's walk a peculiar
shuttle known in no other country

hopefully, because we are more tact
full and not less energetic. Ii has been
proved on the ordinary papers that a
woman can get news which no man
can get.
"A man is a laundering creature at
best, even though he may be an ex-
perienced reporter. Imagine the. sor-
rowful wife being called away from
her husbands sick bed by the ringing
of the telephone bell. She takes down
the receiver and hears:

That's a mans way. OF course,
Mrs. Jones slams the receiver on the

HOW Creole Girls Get
Their Pocket Money

.H EEAmerican tourist is a god
send to nearly all classes of
people in the West Indies,
from the negro, who sells
strings of gaily-colored native beads,
to the girl of good family who earns
her pocket money by making the
much-admired fern and lace-bark
work which all Americans who visit
the Caribbean islands take home with
them as souvenirs.
This fern work is pretty and effec-
tive. Such articles as table centers,
handkerchief sachets, glove sachets,
lamp shades and doylies are made of
it. All but the doylies are made of
white satin. with golden. silver and
dark green ferns pasted in pretty de-
signs on the material. A piece of
white lace bark is then stretched
across, and the article is complete
This lace bark is fibre that comes
off the inside of the bark of a West
Indian tree. 1t is very like a fine net,
and so pretty that the negroes some
times trim their hats with it,
These articles sell like wildhre when
an American tourist ship is in port.
Sometimes there are not enough, TO
satisfy the demand, and girls who are
anxious to get a new dress often
sit UP all night making more doylies
for the next day. They know that
they will get a good price for their
work, for the Americans are proven
bially free with their money. There
is saying among the West Indian
negroes that "Merican got money, but
hin. no mean"

once upon time, but are not always
quite satisfactory in this progressive
age.
A mans company may be forced
upon him by circumstances, not by
choice. The books with which a wo-
man surrounds herself and among
which she browses now and then may
be gift books, perused from sense of
duty to the donor, from desire to
keep up with the literature of the day,
or from the fear of being discovered
an ignoramus by the woman she
breads.
1t is the book a woman marks that

study of the sex.
A woman never marks book open

to institute search for it and, as like
as not, finds it in the crevice of her

her handkerchief box.

He never passed plugged quarter
on the minister.
His wife could never threaten him
with his mother-in-law.
He didn't have to tend the furnace.
Adam never rocked the boat
And he never squandered his weeks
wages on a ten TO one shot and then
lied out of it.
