greatly to be wondered at that the

Then the poor ventilation of the
church was another cause. The sing

The Attractions The Fair Are the Little Prices
December is Logically the Busiest
Month in the Year.
e the Little Prices

We expect, however, this December
will be by far the busiest in the his
tory of The Fair. Naturally the
thoughts of nearly everyone are now
frequently directed toward Christ
mas time, which always seems to
come so quickly when once the 1st
of December has passed, and the Sc
lection of Christmas gifts is the hap
py prelude to the still happier mo-
ment of giving gifts. Indications are
that Christmas will be celebrated
more intensely this season than ever
before, and for this reason The Fair
has made broader and much more
extensive holiday purchases for their
patrons. Nevertheless we recon-
mend very early selections, and the
first two weeks of December as a
better time to buy than just before
Christmas.

Considerable interest attaches to the
cement filling in the trunks Of the great
oaks near st. Charles avenue and many
questions have been asked about this
method Of arresting the decay Of trees,
says the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Horticulturists have found that they
have been able to prevent limbs from
decaying by wrapping them in cloth
This helps to exclude dampness. Car
rying their experiments one pint fur
Their, it was found that cement would
preserve the trunks of trees from rot
ting. just as filling in tooth prevents
further decay.
The question arose last year as to
what could be done to preserve the
great oaks at Audubon park, which
were losing their growth and verdure
by reason of big holes in their trunks.
and it was accordingly decided to fill
the aperture with cement. Several
carloads of sand, mortar and brick
were used in the operation, which has
been attended with great success. Old
oaks regained their strength. new
branches began to grow, and altogeth-
err they put on signs of renewed life
The art of "arboreal dentistry has
since then been perfected to such an
extent that even new bark can be
given to tree. 1t Is proposed at some
future date to cover the filling with a
laye- of cement the color of the oaks
bark, which can be so worked as to re-
semble a natural covering. 1t Is said
that this will preserve the tree even
better than with ordinary cement,
while at the same time 1t viii add to
its beauty by hiding the mortar.

precautionary treatment,

The Dutch peasant lives with canali
all about him, and reaches his cottags
by way Of drawbridge. Perhaps it i.
in the blood Of the Dutch child, says q
writer in NJ. A. p, not to fall into 8
canal. At all events, the Dutch mother
never appears to anticipate such pos
sibillty.
One can imagine the average English
or American mother trying to bring UT
family in a house surrounded BIZ
canals. She would never have mo
ment's peace until the children were
in bed. But then the mere sight of &
canal to the English child suggests ths
delights of sudden and unexpected
bath
An Englishman inquired of a Dutch
woman, Does Dutch child ever by
any chance fall into a canal?"
yes she replied, leases have beer
known"
Don't you do anything for it,, con
tinued the questioner.
'Oh, yes" she answered. "we hau,
them out again."

Englishman, don't you do anything
to prevent their falling in? To save
them from falling In again.?

One hundred and thirty-one miles Il
the height of the atmosphere. as meas
ured by Prof. L. ]. j. See, who de
termines the thickness of the air en-.
velope by noting the difference between
the time of sunset and the complete
disappearance Of blue from the sky.
The moment at which the blue
changes into black can be observed
quite easily with approximate certain
ty by the naked eye when the air Is
clear, and by trigonometry may be as
certained the distance below the hor.
lion of the sun at the moment OF
change. BY this means may be calcu-
lated the height of the smallest IL.
Illuminated particles of oxygen and nj
trogen, which give to the sky its blu-st
tint by the reflection of the smallest
wave lengths of the suns light.
The instant Of change from blue to
black is possibly little difficult of
exact observation, but the method is
not more doubtful than that based On
the observation Of shooting stars The
shooting star method gives a result
not greatly differing from the vanish
ing blue method. The former gives the
height of the atmosphere at 100 miles.

necessary for his wife to use diplomacy
to get 60 cents from him to pay the ice

The husband who dolorously doles out
dollars, under protest, on the Install

viewing home in wrong perspective.
Many men who pride themselves on
the care they take of their families feel
that in permitting their wives TO run
bills at certain stores they have done
all that is necessary. But store ac-
count is not cash; it Is not negotiable I;
you cannot buy tickets for a concert

or put an extra trolley ride with the
children on dry goods store account.
Some women. rather than submit to
the humiliation of asking for money"
from their husbands, do without little
things that would add greatly TO their
happiness, says the Delineator. Others,
after studying their husbands mood,
as a mariner watches the weather, by
policy, iattery, wheedling. or other arti-
fee, secure as concession what should
be given them as a right. Others stint
on the housekeeping money, save at the
expense of their own energy. health or

of their own.

Mrs. Osborn, who conducts the fash
ion department of the American-Jour-

marks on the senselessness with which
women take up every new fad In dress.
There should be limit to the fol-
lowing of fashion" she says. mo wom-
an should be foolish enough to wear a
garment which makes her look absurd.
When one sees woman with an arm
like a blacksmith, or with fat red
arm, or with one like tim stick. In
elbow sleeves. one realizes TO what
lengths foolish women will go in follow
ing of fashion. One also realizes that
feminine vanity entirely blinds such
women to the fact that their arms are
not presentable.
IF woman has not decently pre-
sentable arm she should wear long
:ieeves. 1t is also silly looking for a
business girl TO work In an Office all

Girls and Beauty Foods,

Much of the muddy" coarse, or 9TH
err complexion blemishes are produced
by the lnordinate craze many girls have
for acid fiavorings g. G., vinegar, etc. +.
and the strengthening sweets which
contain sugar-substitutes that directly
produce impurities in the blood. Prob
ably few girls know that their craving
for sweets and acids can be satisfied In
quite natural and beneficial way. Re
Gently, the Kings physician urged the
public to make a more plentiful use of
dried currants, which, he states, pro.
vide nutriment for brain and body
much in excess Of any other foods. As
currants contain very delicate and
agreeable acid. and are almost entire
ly composed of the nourishing grape
sugar, intelligent girls should take the
hint and see that their food contains
this important little fruit as often as
possible. There is no doubt that cur
rants so enrich the blood as to produce
the beautifully smooth skins and
healthy tints so noticeable in the maid
