Ymmortelles.

The manufacture of immortelle wreaths in Paris occupies at least 1,500 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 to the markets in their natural condition, and the yellow blossoms are dyed green, red and white, and wovelt 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- teries are beset with crowds of dealers in immortelle wreaths, wire crosses and bead crowns. At Pere la Chaise alone more than 100000 persons are calculated to visit the cemetery, and the sale of immortelle wreaths varies from 20. 900 to %, 5,000.-Golden Penny.

Forgot tho Chimney.

A short time ago public cere- mony was to be carried out at Landshut, an important town in Lower Bavaria. A new public school was to be formally opened, and all Landshut quivered with pleasurable anticipation. Unfor. tunately the festivities had to be put off at the last moment. The school could not be opened. No scholar could take his seat upon the brand-new forms. The land was in the grip of winter, and the architect had forgotten to provide a single chimney throughout the building.

SHARK AS A MESSENGER.
Carried Newspaper to Sydney outdis. tancing Steamer Conveying Im-
 portant Item of News.

The story of the discovery of human bones and bangles in the interior of the crocodile captured at Fort Johnson, Rhodesia, brings to mind another story which may appositely be recalled at the present juncture. Every. body has heard of "Mrs. Macquar. rie's chair," as they call the east ern point of Farm Cove, in Sydney harbor. There, says the St James, Gazette, it was that a poor emigrant, in precable days, killed and lowed ashore shark, cut him up, and found London newspa. per in the internals. In the paper was the announcement of the war between France and Germany. The shark had outdistanced the steamer by which the mail was coming, and here the discoverer had the fact to himself. He gave his information to a wealthy wool dealer, who bought all the sea. sons clip at 9d. per pound, anu sold at 3s. after the news of the war had arrived by the ordinary channel. He cleared, it is said, four millions sterling by the deal. The man who killed the shark and extracted the news of price-well, he received a battered silk hat and a five shilling piece and unre. strained liberty as to tue disposal of the shark.

PHYSICAL CONSCIOUSNESS,
The Brain in Certain States of Activ. ity Can Act on tho 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 impress sions awakening or stimulating the sensibility, but it is completed by a certain obverse conscious. ness 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 a certain exaltation of well-being or distinct uneasiness is required. In the hypnotic state certain subjects have a more 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 tho 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 is also, perhaps, a contrary current from the organs to the brain. Dr. Cromer, Liebault, and others, maintain that some hypnotic sub. jects perceive their internal or. gans, and even those of other per. sons with whom they are in hyp
 notic relations. a

WHAT DROVE HIM TO DRINK,
She Was Happy and Yet There Was an Awful Possibility Op-
 pressing Hor.

Darling" he said, as he placed his arm around her waist and drew her ten- derly to his breast, relates the New York Times, why those pearly tears? Is the home that I have brought you to less magnificent than you expected?"
 "Oh. n-no." she sobbed. Tt is g-grand. er than dared to h-hope."
 Have you found since our marriage that am less exalted than you had sup posed me to be?"
 "Oh, Fired, you are th-thousand times more exalt-t-ted than thought you to b-be."
 Stopping down he kissed away two large tears that were trembling upon her long, graceful lashes, and asked:
 Has it grieved you to be taken from your parents and the scenes of your childhood, little one."
 "No, no, dear-dearest," she replied. "T would g-gladly go anywhere w-with you"
 Great heavens!" he cried. in wild alarm. Perhaps you are ill. Tell me. is 1t so, sweetheart?"
 "No," she said, through fresh burst of tears, "it is not that"
 A look of deep perplexity overspread his handsome visage, and, pushing her back SO that he could look down into her big. beautiful. tear-dimmed eyes. hs asked:
 "Then. what in the dickens is tho trouble?"
 T was j-just think-thinking." she re- turned, "how miserable should be if you were to die and w-were to marry s-some one who wouldn't appreciate all this magnifcence."

IDEAL IN HovsEKEEp1No.
dtttons Are Passing Entire. ly Away.

A generation ago to be an ideal house. Keeper was the chief ambition of alm ost every woman. No girl desired fairer fate than to be placed at the head of a household with good and loving hus- band to supply all her wants and make her the mistress and the queen of his neart and his home. In most cases, says the Peoria Herald Transcript, the girl who started housekeeping had more or iess s1per1sncsin the art under the tuition or her mother. She loved to decorate and beautify tho house which was to be her home during the rest of her earthly pil- grimage. She loved to create delicacies Tor her husband and her children, and. oasguise 1t as we may, much of the af- .sction she received was due entirely to her skill as a homemaker. When her children grew up around nes this kind and sympathetic mother and the pantry were the chief attractions in their world. Al they grew older the ties only grew the stronger. When they acquired families ee their owH the old homestead, with its abundance of good things, still had attractions fsr them. Tho kind old mother was still their best friend. She knew all the difficulties they had to en- counter in starting homes of their own, and her advice and sympathy were worth more to them than gold. The grandchildren came to venerate her as . sort of venerable goddess, and when she finally went away from the home circle she left a vacancy which could never be filled.
 But we are assured with every symp- tom of rejoicing that these conditions are passing: that women have been emancipated; that ir the future they are to be the rival. instead of the helpmate, of man, and that they must combine to enforce their just demands against tho hostility of the male sex. This Is non- sense pure and simple. It may be true that there are more mannish women in this generation than there were in the last It is unfortunately true that . larger proportion of the female popula- ton has been forced to be self-suppor.. ing, but it Is not true that women enjoy tho so-called liberty" which goes with toiling for living.
 The home instinct is too deeply planted in the heart of women to be re. moved by the effects of a generation oi club work. It will never be removed. A few women may go after strange gods. but the natural, wholesome girl will still ind her highest ideal of happiness in . good husband and cozy homo. The clubs may succeed in making such homes impossible to few men and women by making the young women feel that they have more important work in tho world than the prosaic duty of home making, but among the masses of tho American people the mother will con- tinue to be the bond which unites tho unities of that holy institution the fam- lily, and she will continue in this exalted role until the end of all things.

"sHoWERPRooF" CLOTH.
Germans Treat Ordinary Materials with Pstrolsum-CuriousA Aquatic
 Displays in Tailors' Windows.

It 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 oil. However, sshowerproof" cloth is known as that which repels water very largely and yet remains porous appearing in all respects like or. diary wetable cloth. The methods of treatment of such cloth are often trade secrets, and even the patent specifications do not di. vulge all that must be done to achieve a 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 its low melting point 1t is not fit for use alone. The com position used is 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. dows in Germany many aquatic displays have been arranged to show that cloth can mysteriously be made to 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.

From the story told by eyewltnesses
Of the accident the crew cannot be
blamed for the accident-Hunter simp-
ly took one Of the chances that switch
men do every day OF thier lives, and he
paid the penalty with his life.
The accident occurred on the switch
adjacent to the local agency OF Armour

fortunate man died at Sis. His groin
and right hand were frightfully crush
ed. AS the switch engine was picking
up a string OF cars II had occasion to
run into the yard of the big packing
company, Hunter In attempting TO
couple the car got caught between the
wall OF the building and the side Of a
big refrigerator car. Life was TO all
lntents and purposes squeezed out OF
him.
The young man, 30 years OF age, was
married, but had no children. He re-
sided at 1853 West North Temple and
was well thought OF by those who
worked with him, being Of a quiet dis
position, steady and sober. He had
been In the employ Of the Short Line
for two years having come 10 Utah
from Colorado,
Switchman Hunter was possibly the
talest man In the employ Of the Short
Line, being some feet inches In
height and well built in proportion.
