Conforming TO the Law

Rev. Mr.. Parkhurst, of New York.
has been writing of the decay of posi-
tive authority, whereat the Chicago
Tribune says it is the other way about;
that with all allowance for the rules
that are broken the average man of
to-day obeys more positive injunctions
than his ancestors were compelled to
observe IN the days of the heaviest
tyranny. 1t adds: "A man cannot
build house upon his own land with
out complying with the ordinances of
the city, and hardly without obeying
the dictation of number of trades
unions. He must adopt the sanitary
conveniences which seem best to the
city government. II the house is of
a certain height he must provide it
with hre-escapes. Arrangements for
air and light must be in accordance
with the rules. If he has a child he
cannot decide for himself whether the
child shall be taught or not. He
must provide medical attendance for
the members of his family. He cannot
put his child to work under the age
of IA. He cannot give his daughter in
marriage under the age of 16 He
cannot sell goods on the street with
out license, and there are many bust
Desses in which he cannot engage with
out license. His carts must have
tires OF a certain width. His carriage,
if an automobile, must bear a mber,
for which he is taxed. In a thou
sand petty ways his personal liberty
is restricted, in the name of the law.
The peril at the present day is not a
growing disregard for positive author
ity so much as belief in the efficacy
OF legislation to cure all ills. Almost
every possible relation of man to man
has been made the subject of a law,
but the flood still continues"

Once some years ago at a public func-
ton two school children were deputed
to present bouquet to her and were
told to kiss her hand This they did
and Immediately all their little com
panions eagerly pressed forward to do
the same. The queen on seeing this
laughingly held out both her hands
to her little admirers. King Humbert
stood patiently by for time and then
urged the queen TO turn to the ladies
and gentlemen awaiting them. But
the queen laughingly shook her head.

FOR THE BRIDES TABLE.
Wedding Feast-About Arrange
ment of the Tables.

Table and house decorations just
now are very much in the minds OF
the many prospective brides who will
have home weddings and receptions
within the next few months. Each
young woman considers this the great
est event of her life. and she is anx-
ious to have every detail of the func-
ton beautiful and effectively carried
out.
A pretty arrangement and adorn-
ment Of the tables have everything to
do with the rooms good appearance.
Small ones, set out in horseshoe shape
make an outline that some brides favor
for the good omen OF the arrangement
Some one with poetic understanding
or the truth that the wife is the
warmth and light OF household, as
well as Its center, simply grouped the
tables about the hearth, the brides
beip< nearest to 1t. Placing the ia
bles on circle, with the brides in
the center, looks well, especially when
hers is directly under the chandelier
and garlapds radiate from the latter
to each Of the other tables. This
decoration can be used, however, only
when there are not too many points Of
attachment in the circle and when the
garlands are fastened to the highest
part OF the chandelier. II there are
too many strands, or they are put too
low down. they will surely interfere
with the bridal party.
A glass vase completely wound with
white satin ribbon and filled with
white sweet peas, giant white sweet
alyssum and maidenhair ferns makes
a lovely and unusual centerpiece for
the table given up to the wedding
party. Unless the cloth is OF lace the
vase should be set on a lace dolly
and bit OF the fern laid about it's
base to distinguish il more clearly
from the dolly. The vase, slender and

Curling is always done By hand. Yak
Ing a small steel instrument like a
blunt knife. the operator carefully
takes each frond of the feather and
skilfully presses it with finger and
thumb against the instrument until
the rib curls out in n graceful bow.
Patience and care make, or otherwise
mar, the ostrich feather at this stage

Another branch of the business is
the manufacture" of ostrich feathers.
The best bits Of the smaller varie lies
are taken in hand by skilled female
operators, who cut and trim them I'D
carefully, and then fix the bits to-
gether upon a stock with needle and
thread until a perfect looking feather
is made. Ostrich feather boas are
made on this principle from the finest
small feathers.
In the early days of ostrich farming
great fortunes were made. Feathers
were then worth G100 per pound, the
plumes of a single bird often realizing
go to $50. For good pair of breed
ing birds it was no uncommon thing to
pay as much as $500. But none of
these prices could be got now. From
seven to eight guineas pound is the
usual price at the present time for fine
ostrich feathers. The mourning plumes
used by undertakers are of the largest
variety, and sometimes cost as much
as 6 300 set.

A Word with Investors.

There Is class Of investors who do
take close and intelligent account
OF the conditions Of a market and
whose fixed plan Is to watch for ad-
Vantageous moments in which to buy
or sell. 1t is impossible. says Alexan-
DER ID. Noyes. in Atlantic, to lay down
rules Tor policy in which success de-
pends so largely on possession Of a
sort OF financial instinct Neither
would 1t be useful or wise to suggest
what times should be chosen for SUCH
purposes by people engaged in specu-
iating on margin" with borrowed
money. With such adventures, the
accident Of an hour may Offset the
soundest reasoning adopted with a
view to basic conditions. The bona
noe investor. however, will do well
10 keep his eye always on the rate for
money in the Wall street market; be-
cause, while the rise or fall in rates
makes no difference to his own ca
pacity to invest, it may make all the
uiuerence in the world to the mass of
spectators on borrowed money If,
Tor instance, stocks are advancing rap
idly, and the rate for money stimuli
taneously rising TO high figures, it is
disadvantageous market in which to
buy. The action of the money rate
bears witness to the fact that reserves
or loanable capital have been strained
TO bring stocks to the high prevailing
hgures-which usually means that be-
fore long some of the spectators must
let go their hold through inability to
command further resources which
brings about readjustment of prices
This conclusion is so obvious that it
would hardly need to be repeated. but
Tor the fact that those are the very
occasions when conviction that prices
are going to far higher level usually
seizes on Wall street 1t is much to
the interest of professional specula-
tors to create such an impression. II
they allow the contrary view to pre-
vail, whom would they find to pay
high prices for the stocks which they
themselves are forced TO sell?
