blouse or the cape collar that is extended at the
back and does away with. the over broad effect
that SO often is found. The model is made of
royal blue cheviot, stitched with Corticelli silk
and trimmed with fancy braid, but it
is adapted to All aseasonab1e suitins.s and the
finish can be anything the wearer may prefer.
The pointed belt il peculiarly becoming, as 1t
gives far more slender effect than can be OBJ

eminently desirable over the fashionable waists.
The blouse is made with fronts and back and
is fitted by means of shoulder and Sunder-arn
seams. The lower edge is gathered at the back,
planted at the front and finished by means of
the belt. The cape collar is entirely separate
and is arranged over the whole. the edges being

Sparks are formed by the expansion,
under the action of heat, of air con
tanned in the minute cells of wood, coal
or other burning substance and also
by the evolution of gas in the same
cells. When the elastic force of the
imprisoned gas or air is greater than
the tenacity of the material can hold
in check, then the small cells or cayi-
ties burst, and the flying splinters rise
as sparks. A sharp crack commonly
accompanies the explosion and con
tinues as hundreds of these cells burst
in rapid succession. The quick fight
Of these burning particles acts as a
fan to increase the flame, and when
the substance burns so far that no
more fame is formed the remaining
carbon ash is kept in state Of in
candescence by the draft of air. When
all the carbon has been consumed the
spark dies out, as is evident if we
watch a falling spark on a dark night

TO Save ones Bacon.

Some think that the phrase ito save
ones bacon" arose at tile time Of the
civil wars in England, when house.
wives in the country had to take ex-
traordinary precautions to save bacon,
their principal provision, from the
greedy appetite Of soldiers.
In slang sense bacon stands for the
human body, and ito save ones ba-
con" is just to escape, so that when 1t
is said that man has saved his bacon
1t refers to himself, as do the cognate
expressions, Spare my bacon and
''Sell ones bacon" Thus in Carlyle's
Schiller we read, ITO the kaiser |
sold my bacon, and by him good
charge of the whole is taken"
Others have less probably connected
the phrase with the times when heresy
was expiated at the stake, and man
was said to have Saved his bacon
who had narrowly escaped being burn
ed alive.
The French have very similar
phrase, "Sauver son Iardn

In Cheshire, England, there are leg
ends Of a prophet, one Robert Nixon,
who is supposed to have lived in the
days Of King James I. His fame
spread, and the king sent for him, ac
cording to the story. Nixon was great
" distressed. He wept and mourned,
saying that If he went 70 London he
should be starved. when he arrived at
court the king, having hidden a ring,
asked him to find it. Nixon replied,
'sHe who hideth can find" This great
" struck the monarch, who ordered
him to be kept in the kitchen so that
there might be no fear Of his ueine

he could manage d leg Of mutton at .
sitting and he became such nuisance
that one day the cooks locked him in 3
closet. Here he was forgotten, and
his prophecy came true-he was starved

veracity of the tale, that portion of the
building was not built till the reign OF

The laurel crown used to decorate
the brow of the victor in the old
Olympian games or the head Of some
triumphant general was composed of
bay leaves. The bay is Taurus nobilis,
and thus the wreath or crown has
been called laurel or bay, according
to the within of the writer. The bay
was considered by the ancients to be
an antidote against poison and Sc
curity against lightning. Its leaves
were used to provide a pleasing in
eense, and a spray of bay was carried
in the garments of all superstitious
persons as guard against all dangers.
1t is interesting to note how the
laurel or bay has passed down to these
more prosaic times. The heads on
medals, coins, ETC., are almost always
crowned with laurel. Then we have
a poet laureate, or the poet crowned
with laurel that Is to say, the chief
poet Of the times. Again, the title of
bachelor, won by exceptional skill in
connection with art or science, takes
US back to the middle ages, when
young doctors were crowned with
laurel and received the title of bacca
laurel. Gardeners Magazine.

"Mr. Blaine," says the Washington
correspondent OF The Chicago Record,
FUSED to tell story Of an eccentric in
dividual in Maine who was never
known to express an opinion on any
subject. Being called as witness In
a lawsuit to testify concerning the rep
utation of the defendant, the lawyers
on both sides failed to obtain direct
answer to any Of their questions and
finally appealed to the court.
Regarding the man sternly, the judge
said in his most impressive tones:
