Freaks in Animal World.

Unlike most animals horses have no
eyebrows and hares are minus eye
lids. Consequently the eyes Of the
latter cannot be shut and a thin men,
braneous substance covers them when
asleep. The eye of the owl is also
very peculiar, seeing that it is immov-
ably fixed in it's socket and cannot stir
in any direction. To compensate for
this seeming disadvantage it can turn
It's head almost completely around
without moving its body.
If you were TO keep a frogs mouth
open many minutes It would oon die,
as owing to It's peculiar construction
1t can only breathe with the mouth
closed. On the other hand, fishes are
compelled to keep opening and clos
ing their mouths in order to give their
respiratory organs full play.
A curious fact about the eel Is that
Il has less life in It's head than its
tail; consequently when killing an eel
the fis,ivrman smashes its tail. II
also has two hearts. Snakes usually
have their teeth in the head, but one
variety in Africa, whose principal food
is eggs. is provided with a substitute
for them in its stomach.

well be cneapened and the style Sc
cured for a very moderate outlay in
one of the new chiffon velveteens with
a silver or gold embroidered lace
bertha taking the place of the jet and
diamonds.
For the evening gowns 1t is notice
able that chiffon is dismissed from ia
vor, and soft satin. velvet, and vel
veteen have it all their own way.
Leather belts hav yielded some
measure of their popularity to belts
of silk elastic, which buckle at the
back and buckle at the front, and OBJ
tain in every conceivable tone.
The variety of blouses does not
abate, and a new and attractive n
made of lace has bretelles of soft silk,
edged with tiny killed frills.
The plainest of the shirt blouses has
broad tucks on either side of the CEN
ter box plat, edged with a little frill,
and it. is made of nuns yelling and
sal choose ii of the double width, best
quality, white crepe de chine. 1t lacks
novelty, perhaps, under any circum-
stances, but it is extremely comfort
able and useful to wear beneath the
tailor-made coat of our daily delight.
The stout would do well to
have her shirt blouse made to fasten
down the back, while the slender may
fasten it in the front, but it is more
possible under the former conditions
to regulate its lines to conceal the too
eXuberant curve.
Talking of exuberant curves re-
minds me of one of the latest styles
in hats; these are tightly covered with
black satin, with scrolls doing duty
as a brim cut into four equal sections.
1t is entirely picturesque, if somewhat
too peculiar for my personal taste,
which inclines rather to the small
folded toque or beaver, with a glace
crown and a bunch of cocks feathers
at on eside; but the most attractive
thing in feathers is the outspread os.
trich feather, this being extremely
broad with a waving tail, an article
of luxury and considerable grace.

In the ~Dinlng-Room.

When the plate rail around the din
ing-room is not sufficient to hold all
the plates and the ceiling is so high as
to leave an ugly blank space above the
doorway an excellent idea is to build
a narrow shelf over the Intel and
bank it with plates and perhaps a tall,
graceful vase filled with grasses or
autumn leaves. The shelf should, Of
course, be stained to match the wood
work in the room. but it is quite posi-
BILE for the home carpenter to put up
such a continuance.

Modelling for Children.

for small children, that of moulding
various articles from a composition
made of one pound of best cornstarch
and two quarts of common table salt
well mixed. Whenever any is to be
used moisten with water and form into
balls, cubes, and so forth. Place the
modelled articles on a pan with a par
ATTN paper under them, bake in a slow
oven or place in the window and leave
for several days until perfectly dry.
This will help many rainy days to pass
more quickly for little people. 1t can
be used for relief maps by older chill

renders it possible to insert a seam at

has the short belt idealized into a

be cut in enc with sleeves which

to show that the coming women of
the south will be equal to every de-
mand made upon them. and that when
they reach the period of responsibility
and maturity, they will be what their
mothers and ~grandmothers have been,
steadfast as the polar star, strong, Sc

Southern girls are coquettes. They
are not easily won. A bird on a
bough is not more elusive and capri
cious than a southern maid. But
once she has given her troth and sur.
rendered her whole being to the man
she loves, she lives for him alone.
The southern matron does not cease
to be charming and gracious, she
loses no jot of her bewitching person

condescends to vulgar arts of flirta-

ried girls. She leaves to those who

in her home, and the coronation of her
husbands life. She is a born house
keeper, Notwithstanding an impress
sion that she neve puts her hand
to anything in the way of work. Her
southern mother has early delegated
to her certain cares and responsible
ties. She has known since child
hood some secrets of delicate cook
ing, some peculiar traditional family
recipes and is mistress of the fine
art of catering and of presiding at a
table while yet she is in her teens.
When the babies come the southern
woman finds her chief Joy in her
nursery. She may have the help OF

guides the little ones, and her love
that enfolds them in the first years,
making sure for life the beginnings
of good habits. One often sees a
transformation that is almost a mira.
