SIR HENRY THoMPsoN's "oc-

! x1 I.ko
 Few parts of Thompson's history twere of more interest than the famous I'Octaves." From first starting in practice he had pursued the comon pro- lfessional custom of giving dinners limited to his medical friends or ac- Iquaintances, commonly to twelve or fourteen men at time. He came to Isee that these meetings were defective lin regard to variety of topics, breadth lin treatment of current events and in- ltelligent conversation on subjects out Iconjunction with Gerome, the French painter, he began to organze dinners of ieight in order to bring together men of different professions and varied ex- Iperiences, men engaged in art, litera- ture and politics, with foreigners and
 occasional strangers visiting London
 The main idea was not to exceed g.
 number which, seated at round or
 oval table. could unite to the dis. cussion ofsa single topic whenever one
 might arise of sufficient interest, so that every one present might contribute
 either information or comment in a. IWdy lllc1I WO0ld OO llllpOoSlUiG at tt ul1l~ lner of fourteen or eighteen persons, among whom each one would have small power of communication except with his immediate neighbors. Tn place
 of the heavy banquet then customary, a
 menu, a fewer and smaller dishes, each to be the best of it's kind, became rapid ]; Fly popular, and after some experience, Thompson arranged dinners of the indi- Icated description on definite plan, and adopted for them the destinctive title
 of "Octaves.' The word had a dou- ble meaning implying the presence of eight guests and a menu of eight dishes. At first the number eight in- cluded the host; but after a time he re- tgarded the guests as the series of eight musical notes, forming the scale of c major, and himself as the staff which retain them. Thereafter each menus was headed. Above appears the direc- tion Allegro vivace.'' the time is "C,' meaning the common of eight o'clock. Over the last note is the sign e.

Alcohol For Automobiles.

Within recent years the production
Of alcohol in Germany has been stimu,
lated by beneficial legislation, whereby
for industrial purposes it is free Ct
revenue duty and the result has been
that in addition to an extensive use in
chemical and manufacturing processes
it is being increasingly employed for
small internal combustion motors. Al.
cohoI has been found particularly use
full for automobiles, and as the COM
bustion under full load is practically
complete, there are no offensive doors
as in the case of gasoline and naphtha.
Since gasoline has a higher heat 81
combustion than alcohol in the ratio OF
two to one, to perform the same work
greater weight Of the latter is re
CURED, but this Is diminished by the
fact that with alcohol a greater amount
of heat is obtained in the form OF
work. Consequently, it takes four
parts of alcohol by weight to accom-.
plish the same amount Of work as three
parts Of petroleum, and the question
resolves itself into one Of cost, in Ger.
many this being in favor OF alcohol
Furthermore, the question has to be
considered In European countries such
as Germany, that petroleum is for
eign product, while alcohol is produced
from the extensive fields OF potatoes
which are universally cultivated
throughout the empire. = Harper's

From the upper deck of the lighter
Terminal, of the Old Dominion Line,
lying at Pier 26. North River, George
and Oscar Gunderson, aged twelve and
nine years, respectively, were thrown
into the water by a collision with the
lighter November, which was being
warped to the pier. Oscars life was
saved by his sister, Elizabeth, TWEEN
ty-one years old, but George was
drowned. His body was recovered.
1t was sad blow to Captain John
Gunderson. Three weeks ago he was
at the head of a family of eleven
nine children and wife. Then his
little son Frank became Ill and died.
In order to give the boy, proper bu-
rial the family voluntarily gave up
their home in the city and went to
live on the lighter. They moved there
two days ago.
Elizabeth. after hard days work
was sitting on the upper deck of the
lighter last night watching her broth
ers, George and Oscar. running bare
foot about the deck. She heard Watch
man Thomas Slice on the dock warn
ing them to be careful, and heard
George reply:
ooh, can SWIM"
Then tug whistle blew shriIl warn
ing blasts and Elizabeth turned and
saw it warping the November into the
pier. Her brothers had returned to-
the lighter and stood near the stern
watching the work. The November
suddenly banged against the Terminal.
Both boys pitched forward. and strik-
ing heavily against the November,
dropped into the water as the lighter
recoiled.
Elizabeth knew that Oscar could not
swim. With q bound she sprang to
the stern Of the lighter and seized the
top round Of the ladder that ran down
into the water. She could see little
Oscar struggling between the two
boats. The captain of the tug evil
IDENTIFY did not know Of the accident,
FOR he began pushing the November
In again. 1t took but second for the
young woman to make mp her mind.
Then, holding her skirts high, she
climbed down the ladder backwards
until the wafer about her ankles told
her she had gone as far as she could.
Then she turned around. six feet
away was the November. advancing
slowly, while half way between the
two was little Oscar. Clinging tight |

Color. if employed at all in the de
sign, should go with the dark and me
dunn toned waists, and Of these, both
as to shade and texture, there are SAM
pies galore from which to make selec-
ton. Possibly the pale tans and bis
cult .colors are most enticing, and with
these you may consistently work in
monochrome effects. There are some
very fetching Lavender tints and blues
that will stand color; in fact, the more
pronounced the color of the waist, the
more bold your design may be. Coarse
linens are exceedingly stunning when

Now arrives the musical German

There is nothing about the exterior OF
the musical jug to indicate that it is
of other than the ordinary variety, nm

sounds.
