The manufacture of immortslle wreaths in Paris occupies at least l,50O persons. The immortelles are gathered about the beginning of October, and come chiefly from the arid hills in the middle and south of France. They are brought ts the markets in their natural condition, and the yellow blossoms are dyed green, red and white, aad woven into wreaths by special workmen in readiness for All Saints and All Souls' days. when all good Parisians visit their relatives graves. On these "fetes des morts" the gates of the ceme- teriss are beset with crowds of dealers in immortelle wreaths, wire crosses and bead crowns. At Pore Ia Chaise alone more thas 100000 persons are calculated tc visit the cemetery, and the sale of Immortelle wreaths varies from 10000 to 25,000.-Golden Penny.

A "ShoWERPRoOF" CLOTH.
Germans Treat Ordinary Materials with Petroleun-CuriousA Aquatic
 Displays in Tailors' Windows.

1t has usually been thought that rubber was about the only substance which would render cloth waterproof, although oil silk is coated with another one, prep aration of linseed ol. However, "showerproof" cloth is known as that which repels water very largely and yet remains porous, appearing in all respects like or diary wctable cloth. The methods of treatment of such cloth are often trade secrets, and even the patent specifications do not di- yulge all that must be done to sshieve satisfactory result.
 "Petroleum," a German period ical, says that the oil to which that paper owes its name Is one of the most successful showerproof preparations. It says that the only reliable shower proof is ob. tained by impregnating the cloth outside and in with a fine film of waxes. Paraffin wax is the staple, but owing to it's low melting point it is not fit for use alone. The com position used fs~ so alloyed with other waxes and chemicals thatat the boiling point of water the wax stands firm. A rather elaborate preparatory form must be gone through, and after the wax has been applied finishing process is required. The interesting fact re- mains that it is petroleum that keeps out the wet. In tailors' win. aows in Germany many aquatic displays have been arranged to show that cloth can nnysteriously be made te exhibit the power of the ducks back. Wool, cotton. silk, linen, velvets, braids, and even sails, awnings and tent cloths are thus wrapped in an in visible film of rock oil.

ENTERTAINMENT COURSE
 r PROMISES TREATS.

The Cause Chapter U. D. C., has been successful in bringing to Newport a course of high class attractions, the first number of which will be the Royal Hun garian Court Orchestra, whose repertoire consists of compo- sitions of such masters as Ross ini, Wagner, Apt, and others no less renowned.
 That the people of our commu- nifty have presented to them the opportunity of hearing such mu- sic, much credit is due the work of the local chapter and their in- terest in introducing such talent to Newport music-lovers, should prove not only a financial suc- cess to the chapter, but a benefit to the patrons as we'll.
 The Hungarian Orchestra will be heard at the Newport opera house October 27th, and will, no doubt, be greeted with a crowded house.
 The noted actor, MT. Frederick Warde, will also appear later, delivering one of his well known lectures.

ADVICE TO THE sHIFTLEss
Hard Sense, If Persisted In, will ovsr~ come Hard Luck-Don't Tell
 Your Troubles.

A very keen politician going abroad for an extended tour ad. vertised for a man to relieve him of the smaller worries of travel ing, says the London Post. He re. duced the applicants to one, and was about to complete the nego. tiations when the fortunate per. son began to tell him of his ca. reer, his ambitions, opportunities and misfortunes-ag genuine hard luck story. The politicianlistened for awhile,and then suddenly in. terposed: "I find that do not want you," and when pressed for his reason, added: T never hire bad-luck people, especially the kind who talk about it."
 There seems to be an injustice in this, and there doubtless is. At the same time this politician was a judge of men, or he would not have been a successful politi. elan. Most persons who have achieved success are obliged to lis ten to bad-luck stories, despite their efforts to avoid them. The main reason the modern merchant or manager protects himself with a guard of doorkeepers and ante rooms is to escape callers who want to take up his time by mar. ratives of their misfortunes.
 Every large center of popula. tion has it's army of bad-luck suf- ferers, and among them are men of education, men who are almost, but not quite, strong enough to reach success. Their point of view is out of compass, their bear. ings are wrong; their attitude is that some one who has succeeded must make amends for their own shortcomings. These unfortun, ates are probably the most hope less persons in the world-hope' less not so much in their own ideas as in the possibilities of their reformation. When a man places his own inadequacy on ill luck he is not worth anything to anybody-not even to himself.
 Luck is the tide, nothing more. The strong man rows with it if it makes toward his port. He rows against it if it flows the other way. Fair or foul, flood or ebb, he rows. And the world has very lit. tie time to waste on the man who complains that the tide did not turn at every bend to suit his course.

NO TIPS FOR HIS WATERS.
New York Restaurant Man Makes . Discovery-Then Game Change
 in His System.

'My walters get very few tips," said a downtown restaurant man, "and l don't have to print notices to my customers that they are not expected to tip the waiter. It is really very simple and within the power of restaurant manager to stop the custom if he wants to do so," says the New York Times.
 "You see, when a customer tips a waiter regularly he expects to get extra service or to have his check scaled down, and the res. taurant is beaten by the game. In other words, the tipping of wait. CTS took money out of my pocket.
 q said nothing, but kept my eyes open for a few days, and l saw that it was in handing the check to the customer that the walters got their tips. When they were doubtful of a man they actually made him ask for his check. That observation made it simple.
 "Without a word about tips ] made . rule that when a GUS. toner was served the waiter should immediately lay down by his plate the check for the amount ordered and change it subsequent ly if he ordered more. That left no opportunity for the waiter ts dumbly suggest that his hand wae open, and it made it easy for the customer to get away without giv ing a coin to the man who had served him. ..v
 "In a week tipping had practic ally ceased in my restaurant and the checks began to increase to the right size. All paid for what they got and others increased their orders as soon as they were relieved of paying tribute to the waiter. It worked admirably and helped my business. Restaurant men are foolish not to stop the tipping imposition. They can do 1t if they want to-"

PHYSICAL CONSCIOUSNESS
The Brain in Certain States sf Activ
 ity Can Act on the Organic Functions.

"Cenesthesia" is the name given to the general feeling we have of the existence of our own bodies, says the London Globe. This sense of existence is chiefly owing to accidental and local impres. sions awakening or stimulating the sensibhity, but it is completed by certain obvense conscious. aess of the exercise of the organic functions, for example, respira. tion. It is by this sensation that the spiritual Ego perceives itself existing locally in the limited ex. tent of the organism. In perfect health this feeling is continuous, uniform, and equal, and therefore, not special or local. In order to be remarked . certain exaltatien of well-being or distinct uneasiness is required. In the hypnotic state certain subjects have . moro or less distinct perception of their internal organs and can exert cer. tain action over them. In fact, they can modify at will all the functions of the "vegetative" life. for instance, the beating of ths heart. The fact shows that the brain in certain states of activity can act on the organic functions. If there is a nervous current from the brain to the organs there s also, perhaps, contrary current from the organs to the brain. pr. Cromer, Liebault, and others. maintain that some hypnotic sub. jects perceive their internal or gans, and even those of other peD- sons with whom they are in hyP notic relations.

AN ODD OLD CHARACTER.
Kate, the Dunboat Woman, Who Has Haunted Washington's Navy
 yard for Forty Years.

Kate, the bumboat woman, Is the title applied to an odd oreA- ture who has been haunting the Washington navy yard for the past 10 years, says the Washing- ton Post. Her name is Kate Royal, and as far back and further than the oldest man connected with the yard can remember, Kate has been making her daily trips with her basket of candy, fruit and notisas to sell to the sailors who visit Washington on Uncle Sam's boats. Kate has . speaking acquaintance with all the great men of the army and navy. She has letters and presents from most of thsn, including Amigals Dewey, Sampson and Schley. V
 Kate made her first visit to the yard during tho civil war. She was young woman in those days, and her bright Irish ways made her a great favorite. In later years, when age began to creep upon her, she began te form an opinion that shs was an active and indispensable part of the navy. She considered herself an enlisted person and became as de- voted to tke cause as the most loyal man. It is just 40 years since Kate began to consider herself | sailor.
 She has had ten rcd enlistment stripes, representing four years each, placed upon . field Of blue cloth, and this sAe wore to cele. brate the anniversary.
 Kate is . picturesque cAarac. ter. Her fern is bowed beneath the weight of 70 years, and her face is scanned with the marks of time. Only her eyes stih~ retain the brillianey of youth, and they sparkle with the sane Irish hu- nor and good nature that gleamed from them 40 years ago.
 Kate has no regular hours of business. She is on hand with the rising sun, ard the late hours of the evening fnd her still on duty. She gatheW her little stock of trade around her under the fore. castle of one of tho United States boats lying up at the yard, and with the sai1er boys lying around her on the floor she will tell them tales of her youth or crone Irish melodies for them until the signal for lights out is passed around, and the sailors seek their swing ing hammocks, and Kate shoul ders her basket of goods and wan. ders home.
