banana or apple and sip n glass OF

would find It did much toward keeping
up her strength through the day. To

the morning IS all that is necessary.

WEARING APPAREL.

The TunIc, the ToEn and the Leather
Dress of the AncieRts.
Ancient wearing apparel was not cut
10 fit. rs is our modern clothing. Hav-
ing no definite shape OF its own, 1t did
not disguise the wearer's figure and
the grace and beauty OF Greek drapery
are dependent almost entirely on the
perfect proportions OF the figure be-
Meath The tUlnic worn by both Greeks
AMI Romans was little, If at all, fitted
to the wearer and when unglrded
hung IN folds all round, while the toga>
was little more than sheet and was
worn in all sorts OF ways, according to
the prevailing fashion The Jews OF
old seem to have worn brooches, but
the rest of their clothing seems to
have been simply wrapped round them
for it was difficult for them to run or
even walk fast without first ''Srding
up their Ioins'' The clothing of the
northern races was probably always
more of Il tit than that of the southern,
for they used leather, which does not
lend itself to simple drsiping. but our
ancestors probably wore an almost
shapeless tunic belted Mt the waist.
Another striking difference is found
in the gradual monopoly by women OF
the ornamental element in dress. Once
masculine dress was by far the most
splendid, and woman. holding an abso-
lutely subordinate social position, had
to content herself with humber attire.
As she has won her way to freedom
and equality she has annexed not only
the beautiful, but the extravaGHnt eEe-
ments of costume and left man to con-
tent himself with condition of color !

chile and andes.

Two ways, Chill and Chile. Is the
name OF our South American neighbor
written. Chile Is the Spanish and Chill
can form. The name Is commonly ex-
planned as an old Peruvian word for
snow, the allusion being to the Andes.
But Chill" has also been Identified as
native South American word, ''chlll,"
meaning cold. which would make 1t
really the chilly" country. As to the
meaning of Andes" there Is plenty OF
choice The word has been variously
interpreted as stgnIfyInG the haunt of
the tapir. the region OF copper, the
home of the Anti tribe and the site OF
the ''Andenes," Spanish gardens on the
mountain terraces.

Captains of fishing smacks in the
North sea have found that Goldfish at
certain times of the year take sand in
to their stomachs as ballast" This. 1t
would appear, Is done when the fish
are about to migrate from the shallow
water covering the southern banks of
the North sea to the deeper water far
Their north. It has been observed that
fish caught on the southern banks just
before the migration begins and those
caught in the northern waters after it
is completed have sand In their stom-
achs and that the sand Is discharged
after the arrival OF the fish at the
southern banks on the return mIgra-
ton. In proof of this 1t Is stated that
the sand found in the fish often differs
In color and quality from thar of the
bottom where they are caught.-Wash-

The furrier was taking his stock out
of the cold storage room. Il came
forth frozen stf and coated with glis-
tenInR white frost. But there was one
beautiful skin that though just as stin
as any of the others. had no frost on It.
IT want you to look at this skim he
said '.It Is the kind that the richest
Russians, grand dukes. and so on. have
their Overcoat collars made of. 1t ls a
sea offers skin, and It IL so expensive
that often one coat collar OF It will cost
$500. 1t is unquestiOnably the best
skin in the world to make coat collars
Of Why? Look at this one. and you'n
see All my other skins are covered
with frost, while on this fur no frost
whatever appears. And that's the rea-
son Why sea otter skins make the best
coat collars. The breath, for some un-
known reason, doesn't freeze on them"

fondness for drawing and painting in
boyhood and subsequently gained ce-

Once the proud Duke OF Somerset en-
pIoyed Seymour to paint a room at his
seat in Sussex, with the portraits of his
running horses Having admitted the
artist to his table. he one day drank to
him. saying:
cousin Seymour, your health.
The painter replied, MY lord, real.

This hurt the pride OF the duke 50
much that he rose from the table and
ordered his steward to pay Seymour
and dismiss him. Finding, however.
that no one In England could complete
the pictures begun, he condescended to
send for his cousin. The painter re-
sDonded to the message In these words:
