a Mistake and an Apoloay.

Chief Justice Fuller Of the Unit
ed States supreme court was mis-
taken for an itinerant German mu-
stefan at the Savoy hotel, London,
recently and given a poor room on
this account. Fuller, accompanied
by his daughter, arrived at the Sa-
vov, where the clerk, after booking
them, looked the justice over from
head TO foot and came to the con-
clusion that a man so diminutive in
size and with such long hair could
be but one thing-a German must
clan. So he gave the justice and his
daughter the poorest rooms he had
vacant. When later he learned who
the distinguished guest was he was
profuse in his attempts TO apologize.

Shrinking HeIaoland.

The efforts Of engineers to save
Helgoland from the sea are likely
to prove unavailing. Since the ces-
sion Of the island to Germany in
1890 Helgoland has lost much Of
its area, not only through the COL
lapse of its sandy cliffs, which offer
fragile resistance to the encroaching
sea, but also through a sinking Of
its south shore. Engineers have
been at work filing creyices with
rocks and building breakwaters, but
it has been found that the very sea
floor on which these have been con-
structed is unstable. In 1890 the
circumference Of the island was
three and three-quarter miles. 1t is
now three miles.

Magical Finger Rinas.

Finger rings have PLAYED a NOR
Important part in history than any
other ornaments. They were for
merly symbols Of authority, and
subordinates were often invested
with temporary power by the loan
of the masters RING. We have ex-
amples Of this in the case Of Pha-
raoh, Ahasuerus and many others in
both sacred and profane history.
Rings we're at one time supposed to
possess magical powers, and Plato
tells US that Gyges owned a ring
that would at his pleasure render
him invisible, while from another
source we learn Of the wonderful
ring with which Solomon sealed the
jars in which the disobedicnt jinne
were immured before being dropped
into the sea.

Evolution Of Elowernots.

When you buy a potted plant from
a fashionable florist nowadays he
does not send it home in the ord-
nary red clay pot such as has been
in use from time out Of mind, saws
New York paper. The plant is
delivered in a receptacle of the con-
yentional shape, but it is covered
with fine straw, bound around with
railia that is either painted a soft
green or dull shade Of red. These
bindings are fashioned in some
pleasing design and are vanished,
SO that the whole thing is ready to
stand as an ornament just as il is.
These plants may come high, but
there is one economy in buying
them-you do not have to purchase
jardiniere to put them in.
