New York and pay him magnificent
sum as salary. He then reiterated his
statement that he never will play in
organized baseball again. He now is
playing with Stockton, and says he will
go into business for himself at once.
1t therefore begins to look very much
like the eastern big leagues had seen
the last of him. His friends do not ap-
prove his actions, as he is too great a
player to remain out CT the big game

OUR CHILDREN'S CORNER
HOW ICEBERGS FORM.

a N iceberg Is nothing but a frag-
"a ment of a glacier, de ached by
the action of the water. Some
of them are Of immense size sand carry
with them grea5 masses of rock, earth
and some lines plants. Po,ar bears and
seals have also been seen on them.
Greenland is the pace from which most
Of the icebergs in the North Atlantic
come. The waters that wash the base
OF a glacier are somewhat warmer in
summer than they are IN winter. and
this has the effect Of ioosening and de
taching large parts OF it. The ocean
currents Their pear these fragments
toward the temperate zone, where they
are gradually melted. 1t is during the
latter part of the summer season that
icebergs are most seen, for 1t takes a
long time for them to become detached
from the glaciers, with only the moder-
ate degree Of heat that the warm
months give to northern waters. 1t Is
sale that only about one-eighth of the
iceberg is shown above the water. If,
therefore, one is seen that rises fifty
feet above the sea, the sailor knows
hat its lower end is about $50 feet be-
low.

1t is easier to get rid of fat almost
anywhere else than on the cheek bones
or under the chin.
Lots of women spend their lives in
dieting and facial exercise without
special effect on this too solid flesh.
Before they reconcile themselves to
their burden, however, let them try
what a study of becoming lines will do.
Sundry small details of dress will
often change a woman's looks COM
pletely. Thus, the fat-faced should
avoid neckwear that is not in a straight
line.
She would wear collars that are stiff.
rather high, and come close In front,
to continue the line of the nose. With
this should be worn a f~our-in-hand or
string tie to further extend 1t, and thus
apparently lengthen the face.
If she will wear bows, they must be
of the tiniest, --LATEST description and
placed as low on the collar as possible.
Another thing that is fatal to the fat
faced woman is sloppiness around the
neck. Her collars should always be
well boned; usually without ruching,
or the merest fiat line of It, If it Is
worn. The lace edged collar is fatal to
her looks, however much it is supposed
to soften the face.
For this reason, contrary to usual be-
liefs, strictly tailored effects and the
stiff linen collar are more becoming to
a fat woman than any other kind of
neckwear. Nor must 1t be too low, nor

The fault which perhaps causes more
deaths among palms and ferns. and, In
fact, all growing plants or flowers that
are kept In jardinieres, is that the
water which drains through the earth
and the hole in the e~arthenware lar
is allowed to remain In the Jardiniere
until often enough has accumulated for
the plant to be standing continually
soaking in the water from which 1t
has already derived all the nutriment 1t
required. After h plant has been
fed the water should be allowed to
drain through the earth, and at the end
of about fifteen minutes the jardiniere
should be carefully emptied and dried.
II this is attended to regularly there
will be little danger of the plant not
thriving.
A rubber plant or any palm with
leaves of sufficient size should be
washed off occasionally with lukewarm
water and just a little s%oapsuds to pre-

which the plant lives.
