story Of canymede,s nlrth.

A professor in a Western college.
while giving an examination in myth.
ology in country school. called upon
a bright looking girl and asked the
following question: Who was Gany-
mede?"
Promptly came the answer: "Gany-
mede was the son of Olympus and an
eagle"
The class teacher blushed for her
pupil and exclaimed, why, Elizabeth!
Where did you learn that?"
Indeed, it says so in the book" re-
piled the girl.
The professor then asked the girl to
find the place and read the paragraph
aloud, whereupon the class was both
astonished and delighted to learn that
Ganymede was borne to Olympus ~
an eagle.-Lippincott's Magazine.

Bows and Buttons.

Bows and buttons decorate so many
modish frocks that they play an i'm
portant part in the trimming scheme
Of the season. There are little short,
perky. COLBY bows, and long. thin,
serious, straight bows-bows with
dangling tails depending. bows minus
tails. They are of black velvet, of
ribbon. of silk; they are of gold or
silver gauze. but of whatever shape or
material they are distinctly conspicu-
Gus. There are loops of velvet COW
cred cord and velvet buttons; there
are leaf shaped tabs of applied velvet,
with center of rhinestone and there
are charming enamel or diamante but
tons and even old silver, not to men
ton gilt and gun metal, comes into
the button field. Few of these fancy
buttons serve as real fasteners. their
charm and their interest centering in
their decorative value, which, in most
instances. is sufficient to warrant the
attention that the button is receiving
Just now. Concerning the bow opin-
ions differ as to its decorative infiu-
ence, but it can safely be said that one
tires more quickly of the bow than the
button.

Less Hunting in ENGLAND.

From every quarter one hears of IL >
decreased interest in hunting this sea-
son. The general want of money is
only partial explanation, for hunting
can be done very inexpensively. To
the disgust of enthusiastic masters of
hounds, motoring, golf and other
sports have arisen in the last few
wears. and set up dangerous compe-
tition, for football has for some time
descended in the social scale. and al
most ceased to exist. Until lately there
has been hardly any other winter
sport for the country gentleman ex-
rept shooting and hunting.-Londop
