Those who love experimentation may
try the following method of making
cheap barometer practiced in France
Take eight grams of %pulveriZcd cam
phor, four grams of pulverized nitrate
Of potassium. two grams of %pulvcrizec
nitrate of ammonia and dissolve in six
ty grams of alcohol. Put the whole II
a long, slender bottle closed at the tol
With a piece Of bladder containing
pinhole to admit the air. When raii
is coming the solid particles will tend
gradually to mount, little star crystals
forming in the liquid, which otherwise
remains clear. If high winds are ap
preaching the liquid will become thick
as if fermenting, while a film Of sole
particles forms on the surface. During
fair weather the liquid will remain
clear and the solid particles will res

A Stocking Novelty.

In wondering what to give a girl
friend for Christmas do not forget
that a pair of silk stockings always
proves acceptable. Black and white
are the most popular choices for a gift,
as in buying colored stockings 1t is
necessary to know the shade of the
gowns and shoes that are to be worn
with them. If, however, you want
something a little more elaborate, there
are black silk stockings with colored
tops and Insects on the instep to match
that are new and popular with young
women who are not conservative as to
the dressing of their feet.

Now is the time to make little nov
elites for Christmas.
One cannot begin too soon to make
these clever little gifts, for before one
knows it holiday time is upon us and
there is a general frantic rush at the
last moment, which means injudicious
buying and inappropriate gifts.
Articles which are handmade, if they
are we'll made and practical, are ap-
preciatcd more than any other small
gift. Among the newest ideas in fancy
work are shown innumerable lingerie
ribbon holders.
One of the most attractive is in the
form Of three little maids from school.
