COMMENTS ON MEN AND
 MATTERS OF THE TIMES

N N exchange says, "'Gee' and P flaw are now heard on all z . sides, as our farmers are now taking advantage of this pretty weather to prepare for their crops" You can almost hear the ploughman's cry come floating over the field as he wends his way down the long row. The country is bathed in sunshine all around and on the hills there is a suggestion of Nature, still dreaming away but drawing near to the day when she will awake to the call of spring and strew the earth with blos- sons; when the bluebirds will sing and the rivers run down through verdant and flower-fllled valleys; when old Mother Earth will bring forth generously and the golden harvest of next autumn will be aborning. It must be sweet to hear the ploughman urge his mule along and to revel in the calm beauty of a rural landscape on day so full of bright ness as yesterday. How much better for the city man 1t would be if he could hear Gee" and Flaw" instead of the cold Step lively. please"

THE FLUTED COLUMN.
why the Greeks Adopted This Form
In Their Architecture.

why the Greeks Adopted This Form
In Their Architecture.
The Greeks observed that smooth
column melted in the light and that its
lines We're vague and uncertain, writes
Jean Schoepfer in the Architectural
Record Magazine. In order to restore
its deflniteness they conceived the idea
Of futing It, The sharp ridges of the
flutings. catching the light, contrasted
with the dark hollows. thus giving
body to the column and emphasizing
the vertical outline Of the editice,
whence a double advantage. This dis
covery could never have been made on
paper.
Then, as the abacus Of the capital
casts a shadow upon the top Of the
column, the junction Of capital and col
umn becomes indistinct. To restore the
necessary effect the Greek cuts several
deep lines at the point Of junction. and
to emphasize them he paints them in a
dark tone. Even the curve Of the cir
cular torus carrying the abacus is so
designed that the bright light, striking
upon the relief. shall fade into a shaded
half tint toward the hollow. Thus, us
Violet le Due truly says, the Greek
preserves even in appearance the forms
which his reason tells him to adopt as
being the best and most enduring.

DICKENS "SlTUATIONS."
The similarity of His Methods In
Winding Up His Plots.

1t is curious what Il penchant DICK
ems had for certain melodramatc stu
ations, which seemed to his fancy so
telling that he repeated and reproduced
them many times over. That his WORKS
are all dramatic and conceived in The
true spirit of the stage is plain from
the vast list of adaptations, Each
story has been adapted again ana
again and will bear the process admi-
rably.
one method for winding up his plot,
to which he was excessively partial,
was the unmasking OF the villain ow-
ing to the betrayal of some confeder-
ate. The parties are generally brought
together in n room by the more yirtu-
Gus members. The confederate then
emerges from his concealment and tells
long story of villainy. We have this
denouement first in "Oliver Twist, ~
where Monks makes his revelations
In "Nickleby" Ralph is confronted with
'the man Snawley and SqueerS." In
1.-THE Old Curiosity Shop" Quilp is sim
ilarly exposed In 'Barnaby Rudge'
Haredale forces his hereditary enemy
to make revelations. In "Chuzzlewit
Jonas is confronted with another be-
trayer. In "Copperfield" Uriah Heep
is denounced and exposed by Mr.. Mi
cawber. In BLEAK House" Lady Ded-
lock is similarly tracked. In nearly all
the cases the guilty person goes off and
commits suicide.-London Spectator.

The Way an EsI<imo Belle Looks
When Dressed For a Dance.
When an Eskimo young lady goes to
q ball she is a gorgeous sight to gaze
upon. a traveller reports just how a
belle was dressed on such an occasion.
Her dress was made Of the intestines
of seal, split and sewed together.
This makes transparent garment and
the girl trimmed it with elaborate en-
broidery of coored worsteds and
fringed it with strings of beads. Her
trousers We're white and made of 81
berian reindeer skin embroidered with
strips of wolf skin. Her hair was
braided on each side with strips Of
wolf skin and strips of beads. Heavy
necklaces and pendants Of beads and
teeth of animals hung around her neck
and over her shoulders.
Snow white gloves made Of fawn
skin were ON her hands. These fitted
perfectly and We're ornamented with
strips of skin from some animal-per-
haps the seal. To complete this elab-
crate outfit this Eskimo belle carried
long eagle feathers, one in each hand,
which she waved as she danced

Get Outdoors.

Get outdoors and you won't need to
take sleep opiates. 1t is palpable fact
that we can't be out in the fresh air
and sunshine very long before feeling
an inclination to drowsiness. Isn't 1t
the easiest thing in the world to lie
down In sunny field, with handker-
chief over your face, and fall asleep?
And, If you have ever crossed the
ocean, you must have noticed how the
fresh breezes and the suns rays set
the passengers doing in their chairs.
Sunlight and air are natures own rem
edies for sleeplessness, and II insomnia
patients could take n good course of
this treatment they would need no pop
py juices.
