in most elaborate design. with guam

a summer ball gown. excepting that the
waist was high necked. There are, to
be sure, any number of such gowns in

summer, but at the same time, these
are not the only gowns required. There
must be as well gowns of rather heavy

deemed necessary, but such materials

all in favor for just such use.

THE SPIDER TREE.

A Curious Product of the Cape Negro
Country of Africa.
Travellers who visited or passed the
Cape Negro country of Africa often
heard from the natives of a plant that
was part spider and that, growing,
threw Its legs about In continual strug-
giles to escape. ii was the good fortune
OF DR.. Welwitsch TO discover the origin
of the legend. Strolling along through
a wind swept tableand country, he
came upon a plant that rested low
upon the ground, but had two enormous
leaves that blew and twisted about in
the wind like serpents--in fact, 1t look
ed, as the natives had said like n gi.
gantic spider.
Its stem was four feet across and
but foot high. 1t had but two leaves
In reality, that were six or eight feet
long and split up by the wind SO that
they resembled ribbons This is prob
ably the most extraordinary tree
known. 1t grows for nearly, IL not
quite, a century, but never upward be-
yOnd about foot, simply expanding
until 1t reaches the diameter given,
looking in its adult state like singu-
lar stool on the plain from ten to eight
cen inches In circumference
When the wind came rushing In from
the sen, lifting the curious ribbon-like
leaves and tossing them about, 1t al
most seemed to the dlscoverer that the
strange plant had suddenly become Inn
bued with life and was struggling to
escape. When description and pie
ture Of the plant were sent to England
II was, like many other discoveries, dis
credited, but soon the plant itself was
received, and now Welwitschia mira
bills Is known TO botanists.

THE ABuse OF SOCIETY.
A Titled Lady Makes n Few PERTH
nent RcmnPks on the Subject.

The abuse of society Is favorite oc-
cupation with most people who cannot
force an entrance into it. 1t is not
even new. Cynics and satirists, preach
ers and writer's have waged war on So
cial amenities all down the ages. We
know how Daniel denounced the Bah
ylonian court and how Horace revealed
the proiiigacy of Augustan Rome. Ev-
cry leader of Il regenerating move
ment, whether it be St Bernard ex-
horting to crusades, st. Francis teach
Ing Utopian poverty or John Knox
preaching reformation, has denounced
the easy morals and the easier stand
ard of the liberation of current socie-
ty. The reformcrs of every age de-
nouncc their own contemporaries in ac-
cents Of varying degrees of violence.
Rousseau and Noltaire poured out dia
tribes from different points of view
against the frivolous society which
was cut OFF SO abruptly by the guillo-
tine, but their denunciations fell on
deaf ears Nobody" said Talleyrand,
could have any conception of how
pleasant society could be who had not
lived before the French revolution"
To reform those who Will not be re-
formed is difficult. The grandmother

handkerchief to her nose TO keep off
the odor OF the crowd as she tripped

Scots, yawning in the face of Knox, ex-

ward the Jeremiahs hammering at the

The little screech owl, well known in

gable IN its work of destroying mice
and insects Ii may often be seen nt
dusk hoverlng about barns and out
buildings, watching for mice or skim

the cities, having learned to feed upon
that most destructive nuisance the
English sparrow. In winter rural resi-
dents often notice the tracks of mice,
which form networks In the snow,

Musk In the raw looks a good deal

popular notion that the musk of COM

rat but most of the supply comes from

In the manufacture of the liquid per-
fume sold as musk, but also in very
small quantities to give strength and

from the essential oils of flowers.
Curiously enough, the blossoms OF
two native plants have a noticeably
musky odor. One is the small yellow
blossom Of a creeping vine known as

and Is countcrfelted in the commercial
