Oblong PLAQUES with a burnt wood de-
sign for the border and holding a coaching
or a hunting picture done in bright colors
are effective bits for the hall or den, and
cost but 80 cents.
A huge green frog made of one of the
effective potteries is ready to take his place
holder for the sum of $3.50. His spacious
wide-open mouth forms a very convenient
holder for dripping umbrellas.

Black silk stocks have taken a definite
place among the displays of neckwear, and
are a positive assurance that the summer
is over and gone. The stocks are of ~taffeta,
very neat and trim, most of them with
pointed tabs and finished off by crochet
buttons and much stitching.

One shop has an extensive display of the
short knitted petticoats which so many
women find absolute necessities in winter.
The petticoats come in all kinds of gay
color combinations with either horizontal
or vertical stripes, and their prices do not
range much above a dollar.
One of the Washington street shops has
a display of real old pewter things which
are a joy to the collector. The display in
cludes tankards, plates, mugs, candlesticks
and other things, and the pieces were
brought from Stuttgart. Pewter is not one
of the precious metals, but the quaintness
and authenticated antiquity of these pieces
give them a value which much fine gold
and silver Of modern manufacture could
not possess.
An exceedingly smart stock is made from
black taffeta with a tucked collar and two
wide square tabs, the lower one slightly
longer thai the other, with deep stitched
in colored ~taffetas, though the effect is not
so good, as the severity of the style is
especially suited to black. If one does
not care to go to the bother Of the turning
of hens, wide taffeta ribbon may be used
very satisfactorily.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

At a sanatorium near Melbourne,
massage with olive or cod-liver oil has
been found great aid in shortening
the time of treatment for consump-

A notable feature of Wyoming
scenery is the performance of shrubs.
Among 1874 species of woody plants less

1t is only within the last GO years
that coal has been mined on a large
scale in France. In 176O the output
was only 100000 tons. In 1s43 it was
barely 100000 tons. Last year it was
50 100000.
The French factory laws permit the
employment of children IL years of

The aggregate capitalization Of the
industries at Pittsburg, Pa, is more

dollars. The production of steel at
Pittsburg, in 1901, equaled half that of

DR.. Patrick Manson has recently
shown that Chinese tobacco often con-
tains appreciate quantities of arsenic,
introduced apparently mainly with the
idea of giving the weed garlic flavor.
The belief is gaining ground in English
medical circles that the presence OF
arsenic in tobacco and food products
is responsible for the great increase in
the number of cases of cancer.
The sky within the orbit of Mercury
was carefully photographed at the Lick
observatory during the 1901 eclipse,
in the hope that the hypothetical
planet of Leverr:er and others might
be discovered. Later examination of
the negatives has practically proven
that no such body exists. An object
of sufficient size to produce the OBJ
served disturbance of Mercury's orbit
would be too conspicuous to escape
detection, and the possibility is small
that it may have been hidden by the
sun or the bright corona, as the area
thus covered was only one two hun
dredth of that in which the search was
made. Prof. Perrine has suggested
the zodiacal light may be sufficient in
the aggregate to produce the perturba-
tons noted.

The Madd and the Title.

Once upon a time there was fair
young girl who had many suitors, but
she received them all with equal gra-
ciousness and waited for her affec.
tons to dictate which should be the
especially favored one.
Finally, she heard that rich uncle
of one of her wooers had died leaving
him clear and unencumbered title to
many acres of very valuable land.
When next she met the young man she
showed quite plainly that her affec-
tons had begun to dictate.
The result was that they were mar
ried when the next June came around.

in America.-N. Y. Herald.

II credit for so many deals of diff
ferent kinds that he had reached the
point where none would trust him
for penny. For an unmarried man
of the maturer twenties he was ex-
ceedingly unfortunate, for Outlines
his trade so languished that he could
barely exc out the most meager live
lihood. His blacksmith shop was his
only hope, and of that the contents
alone were his. The last-named fact
might have afforded him grain of
comfort had the rented building been
q substantial one, or his set of tools
and appliances of the patent list of
the last few decades; but it seemed
that Time had sent him all the worn
out, discarded things to be found,
with shelter which age had long
since marked as unworthy of the
name.
Hiram was progressive in his way;
but he was too slow-or, rather, too
fast-for the age in which he lived
Had he saved his money he could long
since have been independent, for his
business was largely cash and his list
of patrons of goodly length. In view
of these facts it was strange that no
surplus funds beyond the necessary
"change" ever jingled in his purse,
yet it was these very facts that
handicapped him at every turn. And
when a neighboring smith decided to
sell out his business-building, con-
tents and all-the chance of a life
time seemed to have come to Hiram's
very shop door. l.
Mr.. Patton exerted himself most
heroically to renew his long since
threadbare credit in order to pur.
chase the shop. The shrewd Mr..
Coler knew him too well to make the
trade on other than ironclad black
and.white terms, which harassed the
covetous Hiram most grievously. AS
last resort the young man deter
mined to lombard the bank account
of crusty old bachelor of the vi
entity, one Bartimeus Graves, whose
reputat alton for close deals and miser-
~ favors was unrivaled.
But Hiram was desperate. And,
resolving to secure the money on
whatever terms might seem neces-
sary, he approached the ill-tcmpered
Bart with the blandest smile he
could command. Bart, on the other
hand, was mistrustful of Hiram Pat
tor and his creditless reputation; but
an opportunity to loan money at
good interest was to him something
not to be despised. Hiram's straight,
forward manner of introducing the
subject impressed him favorably
while the youths confidence in the
success of the venture heightened his
own ambition pro rata.
His terms were rigid, yet to Hiram
his rasping tone seemed but the
voice of a guardian angel. Yes; h.
would loan the money, provided Pat
ton would give a first-class mortgage
on the lot, building, contents ant
