THE CHICKEN" BOA.

II dote on feather boas but refuse to make
myself look like chicken said Mrs. B.
the other day TO her modiste. who was trying to
persuade her to purchase a neckpiece Of gray
and white feathers.
But, Mme."-
NO. it's use talking, quite believe it's
the latest thing. but let me have marabout or
anything else but these long, striped plunes. for
they look exactly like feathers of Barred Plym-
Outh Rocks
Mrs. D. an Audubon enthusiast. carries
out her ideas to such an extent that she refuses
even to wear feathers that originally came from
the barnyard. She has a charming new toque
made OF soft brown chiffon felt. twisted into all
sorts of becoming curves and adorned with q
ribbon feather This is fashioned like quill
and is made up of overlapping bits of brown rib
bon shading to fawn. The quill is made of thick
cable cord. covered with brown satin, and the
fues are long and narrow. shaped like coque
plumes. The effect is really extremely pretty.

LIFE IN PENANG.
The Misery and the DiscOmfOrts Of

the Rainy Season.
A resident of Penang thus describes
the rainy season there: Our rains have
set in with all their attendant comforts
and discomfocts. and they make one
feel something like Robinson CrusOe
when he made w the list of his bless
ings and evils The planters are all re-
jOicing and are putting out their seed
lings and cuttings and generally doing
all they should do. The bullOcks are
beginning to fill out those ugly hollows
between their ribs and about their
TANKS. for the grass on their limited
pastures is growing rich and rank. and
these patient, half starved beasts profit
by it. Our trees have all put on new
coats of brilliant green, and the whole
place wears newly washed appear
ance, very comforting after the dusty.
dry season in which our soup tastes
seems to have had bit of sandpaper
glued on the butter side. But even our
rains have their disadvantages.
"When l come home, thoroughly wet
and Disguised with everything. and go
to bed Immediately after dinner, the
roof commences to leak, and have to
get out and shift the bed. I interview
the landlord in the morning. and he
tells me roofs can't be repaired in the
rain and that in all probability as soon
as the tiles swell the roof will become
water tight of its own accord. That
doesn't cure either my lumbago or
rheumatism, and when l take my bath
discover we are on the Adler Itam wa
ter service and have to battle in pea
soup.
II mention the fact to the municipal
president over stengah at the club,
and he says, My dear boy, I'm ON the
same service and have been combing
mud out of my hair for week. This
doesn't make me feel any cleaner. The
lizards on the ceiling are waxing fat
from the insects which are driven into
the house by the rain. and notice that
the soup at dinner seems to have more
body in it from the same cause. This
does not improve my temper" Chicago

Black Hair Strongest.

Black hair is stronger than golden
resses and will sustain almost double
the weight. Recently German scien-
fist has been experimenting and has
found that it is possible to suspend u
weight Of four ounces by q single hair,
provided the hair be black. Blond hair
will give wny at varying weights, de-
pendent upon the exact tint. A yellow
hair will scarce support two ounces, q
brown will hold up three without
breaking, while very dark brown will
sustain an additional half ounce.
The greater vitality of the black hair
is declared to be the reason for the pre-.
ponderance of blond bald heads, and,
according to this eXperimenter, per
sou with jet black hair will still enjoy
a full growth while the blond will have
been bald for seven and IL half years.

"Piano-organ" seems to have got into
the language unfortunately. since the
contrivance so designated is neither
piano nor All organ. Organ" in mu-
steal language, means an arrangement
Of pipes or reeds. with bellows, key
board, pedals and draw stops. The
''piano- organ" has none Of these. "Pi-
ano" is short for 'pianoforte" and in
dicates a keyed wire instrument which
can be played both softly Diano) and
loudly forte. Now, nobody ever heard
''piano-organ" play piano pos
sible explanation Is that the first user
Of the bad word ''piano-organ' was
trying to combine 'pianoforte" and
barrel organ" and, Of course, he
couldn't call the thing "barrelforte."
