FROCKS AND FRILLS
FOR SMART DRESSERS

notwithstanding the millinery prepar-
atoms II Is open to doubt whether the
long pendant veil as a veil will have
any appreciation among the really fash
Unable people. The chances are that
Il will not. but many Of the pendant
additions worn by the followers of this
mode are made In lace and descend
from the head to well below the knees,
recalling "a Spanish mantilla. This is
not likely to attain any great follow
ms in the modes for daily wear.
This inkling Of fashion has. however,
been the cause of any number Of new
patterns in veilings Graduated chenille

bordored with lace. and gauze of va
riUus kinds with large tufts upon them,

Fiscalitis is disease that flourish

fourteenth century, only the tax that
was then imposed on foreign goods
was broken head to the maker of

When Wat Tyler's people entered
Southwark in 1871 their anger was
so great against the Flemish weavers
and other workers that they made the
pronunciation of dread and cheese"
a test of the honest home worker, and
whoever failed to pass it was deemed
a Fleming and put to death. A cen

one of their cries THE foreigners fore

A Half Solved Mystery.

Detroit has a suburban grocer who
is something of a joker, and, having
bought a crock of butter of Uncle
Reuben few days ago, he slipped a
five pound stone in the empty crock
and exhibited it to the farmer and
said:
Uncle Reub, I've known you for
the last five years, and I'd have
sworn that you were an honest man
I'm sorry to see this"
WAL, that half solves the mys-
terry" replied the old man as he pick
ed up the stone, hefted it and looked
it over in a puzzled way.
What mystery?" queried the gro
Ger.
Three or four days ago a strange
dog came along by our place, and my
son Bill heaved this rock at him. The
dog and the stone disappeared like a
flash, and, though Bill hunted around
for half an hour, he couldn't find
either. l can't say where the dog
got to, but the rock must have come
down on this crock of butter and sunk
to the bottom out of sight. Detroit

ORIGIN OF THE BAGPIPE.

Musical Instruments Said to Have
Come Originally from England.
The conference of the INCORPORATED
Society Of Musicians was held recently
in the, Athenaeum Hall, Glasgow. says
the London Telegraph. DR.. Daniel
Ferguson Wilson, of Glasgow, the
chairman for the day, in an address
OF Folk Music of Scotland" said 1t
was on record that in the twelfth Gems
fury the people sang songs and used
for their delight the harp, the tabor
and the choro. There was some differ
ence of opinion regarding the identity
of the choro. Some thought it was the
bagpipe, while others argued that it
could not be, for they maintained that
this instrument was not imported from
England till at least a century after
this date. Judging by appearance. he
was disposed to think that the choro
was the bagpipe, for it would have
been a sorry sight for a historian to
witness a highlander wandering in his
native straths and glens with a harp
III ulo udnu. LNtu IL WAS
conceded that the English introduced
the bagpipes to these isles, it must be
admitted that whenever the highland
ers gained the acquaintance of the in
strument they made the most of it,
Dealing with the question why Scot
land had not taken her place among
the musical nations of the world, re-
cent writer had given it as his opinion
that the bagpipe was the cause of her
undoing, but it was more probable
that the cause lay in the lack of en-
vironment. Scottish music, however,
had at length obtained an entree to
the best society, chiefly German, and
great hopes were entertained for it.
DIR. Cummings, of London, said he
was sorry to hear that the Scots had
got the bagpipe in its present state Of
perfection from England. For the sake
of the sins for which they would be
punished hereafter, he hoped that the
English did not invent the bagpipe.

Where Ships, Sails sinn.

Some curious facts have been noted
with regard to the sound conducting
qualities of ships sails When render
ed concaye by a gentle breeze the
widespread sails of a Ship are said
to be excellent conductors of sound
A ship was once sailing along the
coast of Brazil, far out of sight of
land. Suddenly several of the crew,
while walking along the deck, noticed
that when passing and repaSsing a
certain spot they always heard with
great dfstinctness the sound of bells
Ginning sweet music, as though being
rung but short distance away.
Dumbfounded by this phenomenon,
they quickly communicated the dis
covery to their shipmates, but none
Of them were able to solve the enigma
as to the origin of these seemingly
mysterious sounds which came to
them across the water.
Months afterwards, upon returning
to Brazil the crew determined to
satisfy their curiosity. Accordingly
they mentioned the circumstance to
their friends, and were informed that
at the time when the sounds were
heard the bells in the Cathedral of
San Salvador, on the coast, had been
ringing to celebrate a feast held in
honor of one of the saints.
Their sound, wonderful to relate,
favored by a gentle, steady breeze
had Travelled distance of upwards
of one hundred miles over the smooth.
water, and had been brought to a
focus by the sails. at the particular To-
cality in which the sweet sounds
were first heard.
This is but one of several instances
of a similar kind, trustworthy authori-
ties claiming that this same music is
often heard under somewhat identical
circumstances, and especially in a
moisture laden atmosphere.
