About the Telephone.

Many suppose that the telephone is
a United States, or Yankee, invention.
The Toronto Globe, the leading Liberal
daily of the Dominion, has been point
ing. out that this is a mistake. DR..
Graham Bell, the inventor Of the tele-
phone, was a Scotsman, who emigrat-
ed to Canada and settled at Brantford,
in the province of Ontario. There he
began his experiments with a view to
carrying the human voice by electric
currents for long distances over wires
After he had succeeded in evolving the
telephone he crossed the border into
the United States, but-the telephone
was born in Canada.-London Chroni-

November Jewels

The topaz is the Jewel for November,
the month dedicated by the Romans 10
the goddess Diana. The name Of the
stone is taken from the Greek word ito
pazios," and It is probably the same as
the ancient classic gem called IN Hebrew
''pittdoh." There are three kinds OF to-
paz. namely, true topaz, Oriental topaz
yellow sapphire, or corundun, and Oc-
cidental topaz, which is a form Of
quartz The true topaz runs through a
! beautiful gamut OF color tones, varying
from clear white to light blue, light
green, rose pink. straw yellow. orange.
The best topazes come from Brazil,
but these precious stones are also found
ia the Ural mountains. Saxony, Bo-
hemia7 Siberia, the British Isles, Egypt,
New South Wales. and this country;
they occur IN granite. and often IN con-
nection with tin ore. The gem possesses
the powUr OF double refraction, and also
Of duplex magnetism. It is both positive

Hot Hints

There are new ways of making one

a wide hat with brim faced with vel
vet The crown is covered with a soft
fun black net. At one side there stands
an immense bow Of violet velvet with
at least ten wide. well-wired loops. The
feature OF the bow is that it is adjust
able. so that IL can be taken OF and an
other bow put on. Thus the hat may
be made to match all gowns.
In big box, well protected from
crushing, q certain well-gowned woman
keeps her hat bows. Each bow is Of
immense proportions with the edges Of

all white and all red. In the twinkling
of an eye the old bow can be taken of
and the new one adjusted 10 the hat so
that the gown is matched with a hat Of
precisely che same tone. Nothing now
Is needed except a neck ruffie OF silk
muslin, ostrich feathers, chiffon, and
marabou-
It is the part OF economy for the
woman who dresses q great deal 70
have half a dozen hats OF velvet and
silk all ready to be trimmed with their
respective bows or feathers. There is a
woman who has a broad-brimmed blue
velvet hat. Around the crown there is
band of Persian embroidery. To the
side Of this hat she adjusts an ostrich
feather as occasion may require. Or
she pins on a wide bow Of blue silk and
the hat is complete. It is a makeshift,
but 8 very effective one.
The wide-brimmed velvet hat is the

COOKING Dried Fruit

Instead OF steWing on the stove, as Is
the custom. put the fruit IN clear cold
water and allow 1t TO soak from twenty
four to tnirty-six hours IN a cool place,
then gently simmer FOR a few minutes
in the water in which It has been
soaked. Try this with California
pruues. and you will be surprised at
their sweetness, requiring no sugar for
the ordinary taste. The golden rule IS
never TO throw away any water IN
which the fruit mas been soaked, for IN
1t lies half the virtue Of Your sauce.
Simply rinse the fruit thoroughly be-
fore putting Il 10 soak.
