The sun went down in blood-red cloud
And the wind breathed a low. harsh
sigh;
And d strange. weird veil. like sombre
shroud
Hung down from the murky sky
The fox-hounds bayed at the angry moon
That flckered dim. sad light,
And the crickets chirped a doleful tuna
To the ghosts abroad that night
It was such night as brave men hate.
When the darkness seems to hide
But dimly shapes that congregate
And through the shadows glide.
No start to point the traveller hons,
No light on land or sea,
A night when ghost and witch ans
gnome
Hold hendish revelry.
Through Dead Mans Gulch, by ths
haunted mill.
That stands like a specter white,
With its broken arms SO gaunt and still
A footman passed that night.
He trudged along TIL from without
The shadows stood a man,
But the footman did not faint nor shout
He neither turned nor ran.
He stood his ground, brave to defend
His every act and deed,
Till the shadow spoke and said, MY
friend
Can you give me a chew of the weed?'
The chew was given, each went his way
There was neither death nor din,
Bur ! We often thought, aiackaday!
How sad 1T night have been"

Proner Dance Erocks.


Very finely accordion-plaited frocks
are de rigueur for dances; and the
hchu and wide berthe of lace and in
deed of ribbon, are both popular. A
delightful vieux rose crystalline frock
for young girl had both bodice and
skirt finely plated. Round the hem
were medallions of cream Brussels
applique, outlined with black velvet
leaves. The accordion-plaited bodice
was inserted with struggling applique
leaves on the lace and a deep berthe
of the same fell over the shoulders
The arm was bare at the top, while

the elbow and held in place by black
velvet leaves, which looked particu

cAUsTIc HuMoR OF CALLED.
Used in Demolishing Argument Made
by Brother Scientist.

In recently published biography OF
Calico some stories are told of the
caustic humor of that bold investigat.
or. Lotario Sarsi, writer on science,
having said that the Babylonians used
to cook eggs by whirling them in a
sling, Calico replied: The cause OF
such an effect is very remote from
that to which 1t is attributed and to
find the true cause | shall reason
thus: "If an effect does not follow
with us which followed with others at
another time ii is because in our eX-
periments something is wanting which
was the cause of the former success;
and If only one thing is wanting to
us that one thing is the true cause.
Now we have eggs and sings and
strong men to whirl them, and yet
they will not become cooked; nay, ii
they were hot at first they more quick.
ly become cold; and since nothing is
wanting to us but to be Babylonian it
follows that being Babylonians is the
true cause why the eggs became
cooked and not to the friction of the
air, which is what | wish to prove"

Petticoats of Paris.

The flannel petticoat is seen once
more at the leading lingerie shops in
Paris. 1t is beautifully shaped and
trimmed with frills of silk, often in
serted with medallions of coarse silk
embroidery. In most cases these are
lined with thin silk. AS matter OF
fact, flannel is a lovely fabric If it is
only treated properly, and nowadays
the manufacturers produce it in the
most beautiful colorings. Such gar
ments entirely upset all our old ideas

Fashions Of the Hour.

All reception frocks will be cut
very full, lying on the ground all
round and showing any amount Of
stitchery. The intricacies of dress
making are greater than ever and,
despite the attempt at apparent sim
plicity, the enormous amount. of de-
tail in every frock worthy of note is
such that only experts can undertake
it with any hope of success. The
woman who can afford two or three
superior frocks has a good invest
ment because there is so much work
in them and the materials are SO
sumptuous that they really ought to
last a longer time than usual. Fash
ions of the hour are costly, and it is
useless to pretend they are not.

Childish IDEAS Of Beauty.

The idea of beauty in children is
strangely varied. A teacher at Ger.
tain school gave thirty children five
minutes to think over the most beau
tiful thing they ever saw. Five chose
the moon and stars, two the sun and
one the setting sun. One of the five
who chose tho moon stipulated that
he meant only the full moon. Two
children chose flowers. two scenery
and two birds. Not one chose a hui
man face! The snow, the rain, a but
terfly, tigers skin, salt silver and
gold, a brooch and pink silk all had
one vote each.

RINGS TELL RAMS AGE.
Horns Cease to Grow at Regular Sea.
sons of the Year.

When rams constitution has been
undermined by the rutting season, the
horns cease to grow, nor do they be-
gin again until the spring of the year,
when its green vegetation brings nour-
ishing food, and this is the cause of
the rings, which, therefore, indicate
the number of winters old a sheep is.
This was my head mans theory and
is, believe, a correct one, for in the
smaller heads which | have examined
these rings conceded with the age of
the sheep, as told by the teeth. UP
to five years the age of a sheep can
always be determined by the teeth;
a yearling has but two teeth, a two
year-old four teeth, three-year-old
six teeth and a fouryear-old or over,
eight teeth, or full set.-Exchange.
