Prof Alfred Binet Of the Sorbonne
has been making some experiments in
grapEology which reveal that science

the handwriting OF Renan was circu-
lated. A famous graphologue gave
the following analysis of the great
skeptic philosopher: "A mind original

tie reflection. On the other hand, the
credulity and loquaciousness Of the
subject are noteworthy" With an
other expert Renan came off little
better. as "a clear and fine mind, but
hardly reaching talent" Graphology
suffered most when 1t fell foul Of the
manuscript Of the brutal assassin vi
dal who had slain many women. One
authority declared the writing to be
that Of a young girl who must be
classed among the gentler charac
ters." Another doctor in the scieuce
observed although we have never
seen the handwriting Of Taine, we
imagine 1t like this. Ia any case he
who wrote these lines was a thinker"

as a Fine Art" should be rewritten
with view to proving it an exact sci

criticism. The total result of Prof.
Binet's experiments is to suggest that

Partisan Manufacturers Responsible
for Some Beautiful Artificial Trim
mings-"Poke" Bonnets of
Improved Design.

That headgear is to be an allimpor.
tant item Of dress this coming season
there can be no reasonable doubt
Also, to judge from the number and
variety of models on exhibition, there
would seem TO be no reasonable ex-
cuse for the appearance of an unbe-
coming hat. However, that is largely
a matter of taste and viewpoint. but,
at any rate, each of us ought to be
able to please herself in the matter.
The newest thing is the Madame" !"
an elongated turban with single
long and very heavy plume over either
side. The plumes, If they do not
match exactly at least must blend
harmoniously with the color Of the
hat. Few striking contrasts are noted
in exclusive millinery, even the metal
buckles, of which great number will
be used, being toned to correspond
The Partisan manufacturers have
given us some beautiful artificial trim
mings in the way of aigrettes, wings,
breasts, etc, which really show a del
icacy or richness of coloring and com
binations quite impossible with the
real ones. These are made up of tur-
key wings, hens feathers, wild duck,
and goose quilts and the plumage of
the various other domestic birds, often
Ave or six being utilized in the make
up of a single ornament.
The perfectly round turban has re-
turned, this time with the trimming,
usually plume or some velvet ribbon
loops, starting from the front under
ing in arched fashion over the top
and side, dropping down over the hair
at the back.
The Louis Seize shape, a species of
exaggerated French sailor, is in vogue
as a dress hat. The brim curves up
ward ever so slightly at the sides and
wound with an ostrich feather the tip
of which falls over the brim at the
side back, is extremely fetching worn
by the tall young woman.
Then there are the scooped hats,
which strongly suggest the Salvation
Army bonnets, except that they are
not quite as fiaring. One model of
this sort noticed recently had crown
of smoke-gray French felt, the trim
mings consisting of folds of velvet
shading from one tone to another,
while underneath the brim was fac
Ing of plated chiffon of the lightest
possible gray tint and a La France
rose perched just at one side. These
pokes. which have never proved popu-
lar since the season of their introduc-
tion some years ago, fortunately have
narrow upturned brims at the back,
which preserves them from the usual
ugliness.

larity with the New.

While perhaps bracelets have ex-
perienced to a greater extent than any
other article of jewelry the fullness of
this revival, anything that savors of
the antique is considered quite as
smart and lends a touch of quaint
charm to an otherwise commonplace
costume.
The broader the bracelet the better
and one of the quaintest styles seen
is that made like the old-fashioned
book" chains, each link fitted into
the other and overlapping so that the
method of joining them is not at once
apparent, the bracelet resembling fish
scales when laid fiat. 1t is, however,
pliable and easily adjusted In spite of
its intricate workmanship.
From many an antique collection of
the family jewel box comes necklaces
of one sort or another to grace the
charms of the maiden of to-day and
of all there is none which is more eff
fective than one of rose gold which
savors somewhat of Syrian manufac-
ture.
While the old-fashioned brooches are
not worn to such an extent as other
articles of jewelry. they are made over
into pendants and make really beauti
full neck charms. which lend a pretty
finish to white lingerie waist OF

One of the styles of old-fashioned
brooches most often seen is that set
with carbuncle or coral with gold OF

rings are worked into a pretty design
in connection with the brooch. With
canoes, where there are number
of them, the most fascinating dog col.

simply set and linked together with
chains of gold either plain or ornate,
according to the fancy of the wearer

"TARTANs" TO BE WORN.
Scotch Plaid Feature of Dress and
Trimmings.

The coming winter is expected to
be n distinctly tartan" one, for the
Scotch plaid is seen not only in dress
materials and trimmings, but is intro
duced into wings and quilts and even
roses. Plain broadcloth costumes
have been fashioned by the leading
costumiers in Paris and London with
short sack coats and skirts trimmed
with narrow bands of pipings of tar
tan, and a distinct novelty is the little
green and blue tartan hip" coat
trimmed with collar and facings of
black silk poplin and finished with
old-silver buttons, Silk poplin, one of
the fashionable materials for the COM
ing season, is being used for making
these little coats, with a judiclous
trimming tartan, for wearing with a
blue cloth skirt, and in juxtaposition
is the skirt of brown and blue paid,
with orange stripe running through it
to accompany a plain brown cloth
sack coat, trimmed with military braid
ing, having on some models, narrow
nat piping of orange cloth or velvet
introduced on either side of the braid.

MARKETING LIVE POULTRY.
Some Points to Consider to Secure the
Best Returns.

In all large cities there is a constant
demand throughout the year for all
kinds of live poultry. A large proper
ton Of this live stock is absorbed by
the Jewish trade as orthodox Jews
will not use meat of any kind unless
it is killed by certain method under
the direction of q rabbi. Each large
market has slaughter house, where
animals and birds are slaughtered ac-
cording to these prescribed rites. The
best prices for live poultry are secured
at the time of the Jewish holidays. the
dates of which vary from year to year.
They can be ascertained through any
commission house or dealer.
Occasionally the price Of live poultry
is as high as for dressed stock, and
under these conditions it is a waste
of time to dress the birds before ship
ment. This is particularly true if the
market is near at hand, as the birds
will not shrink much when being
shipped but g short distance.
For shipping live poultry to market
wellconstructed crates are perticular
ly desirable, says the Montreal Herald.
They should be of sufficient size to
avoid causing discomfort to the birds,
yet small enough to permit easy hand
ling by expressmen and others. Long
crates should be equipped with solid
cross partitions to prevent the birds
being thrown together at one end
when the crate is tipped in handling
Failure to observe this simple precau-
ton often results in the loss Of num-
ber of birds in each shipment. All
crates should be thoroughly ventilated,
as in crowded express cars they are
frequently piled one above another,
and many birds are smothered in this
way.

AVOID MEDICINES.
Poor Practice to Dope Fowls to Keep
Away Disease.

Some people follow the practice of
putting medicine in the drinking
water of the fowls They imagine that
1t is keeping away disease. AS well
think of putting medicine in the drink

that the way to keep any creature
healthy is to give that creature good

sunlight and exercise. If that will
not induce a body to remain healthy
nothing else will.

Women Sacrificing the birds.

modes continue their slaughter. Cer4
tain species OF the rarest and most

determination at no distant date. In

geous southern birds OF different
kinds, as well as doves and even spar
rows. France receives every year from
America. Tonkin and India millions

lions of dollars. The number of small
birds annually imported into England
and France may be computed at 1,500,-
600. Germany exports nearly 20,000,-
900 feathers which are worked up in
England into hat trimmings. In Lon

Mistake to Allow Children to Hurry

In the history of every home
period is reached when the mothers
stop training the children and the
children begin training the mothers.
The process of training always in
wolves a disagreeable side to the per-
sons trained. Children, for instance,
see when grown up that the truest
kindness to them was shown when
they were not allowed to have their
own way, but in the early years they
often enough felt rebellious when re-
strained or denied. The moulding
touch may be so gently given and edu-
cation may be conducted with SO much
tact that pleasure predominates. AS a
rule, there is some friction during
training whether colts or children or
parents are the subjects.
Mothers arrive by imperceptible
stages at the point where they cease
to take the initiative and the children
take it for them. Occasionally they
feel mild surprise when grown up
daughter calmly advises them to do
this or not to do the other; when
there is interference with their dress,
their comings and goings, and when
innovations are introduced in the
household management A strong
willed mother does not easily yield
her precedence and in her case the
children have to wait until fit of ill
ness, a long visit or an absence of
some sort gives them their oppor-
tunity. Once she yields an inch, they
take an ell. The maternal sceptre
laid down temporarily is seldom re-
sumed with its previous vigor. Often
the training of the middle aged mother
is so tenderly and sweetly undertaken
and accomplished that she slips into
the background without being aware
that she has practically abdicated her
position as queen.
Yet it happens every day that wom.
en- by no means old, not at all weak
ened in mind or body, and as thor
oughly conversant with affairs as ever
they were, simply through granting
concessions to their adoring children
lose the rank of reigning sovereign to
which they are entitled.
Beware of letting your children
persuade you that you must take care
Of yourself, that you must not go here
or go there, or get too tired" said
wise man to a friend.
Going down hill needs no exertion;
1t is just the lightest push here at the
top of the hill and off you speed never
climbing back again. Children often
hurry mothers out of middle age where
they belong into old age where they
do not belong"
