Ancestor. Of Present Foxes.

X. Toldt OF Vienna. has produced
what he and others regard as virtually
conclusive evidence that foxes are de-
scended from ancestors whose bodies
were clothed with horny scales, like
those of the pangolins. or scaly ant
eaters. This evidence is based upon
the examination of the skins OF young
foxes. and depends not only upon the
arrangement Of the hairs. but upon the
fact that the skin itself exhibits a
structure such as would be shown by
that of pangolin after the removal
of the scales.

A Party for Labor Day.

Are you renewing your youth. my
dear?" said Nine. Merri to a hostess
noted for novel entertainments" who
was discovered in the toy department
buying all sorts of diminutive house
hold articles.
NO, l am only prepa ring for my
luncheon to be given on Labor day.
You know it is not far off,"
Then l understood the selection of
tiny brooms, dust pans, wash tubs,
coffee pots, etc. l was so interested
in the clever scheme that begged it
for the department, so here it is in
detail for others to go and do like
wise.
The hostess being gifted in drawing
decorated each invitation with young
woman in some act of household la
Dor. Besides this there was nothing
else but the day and date, with the
quotation: Learn to labor and to
watt" also the request to wear
wash gown. When the guests arrive
they are given aprons all finished ex-
cept the strings, which are to be of
ribbon. This sewing done, the first
labor is accomplished. Bows to match
the apron strings are to be worn in
the hair, long hairpin being thrust
through each to keep it in place. The
table center piece is to be dolls
wash tub filled with asters; the place
cards are dust pans lettered in gold
tied to the cutest of brooms. Before
the dessert each guest Is to brush her
own crumbs with her broom and dust
pan. And the dessert-it is to be the
best of all. There will be eight guests,
and four wee ice cream freezers are to
be brought to the table. Four will
freeze and four concoct the cream, put
in the ice, salt, etc. If all goes well,
the cream will be ready to eat in less
than is minutes and ten for the coffee.
1t is to be ground and made at the
table, poured into the little individual
pots, and each guest will serve her
self in a demi-tasse at her place.
An interesting article prepared by
the hostess on the revival of House
hold Arts" is to be feature of the
after-luncheon entertainment. There
are to be some fine specimens of be
fore-the-war" needle work on display,
which have been collected by the hos
less on her many trips to the south
land. Each guest is also to be asked
to tell her fayorite occupation and
the best way Of doing it. Taken all
in all Nine. Merri wishes there would
be a whole lot of these Labor day par
ties. The idea seems to be practical
and unique.

DEVOTION THAT WAS SUBLIME.
Great Cook True to His Art to the
Very End.

Escofier, the great French cook,
said at a dinner in New York tAat a
good cook had the spirit Of cookery
born in him
81, IS born in him." said M. Escof-
fer. "and in him it never dies. His
first lisped baby word is of food; and
a sauce or a navarin is the subject of
his last dying breath
did you ever hear of poor CASTOR
Laurent, the distinguished cook of
Paillard's?
Castor went on voyage to the
South Seas in '95; his ship was
wrecked, and he and his pa. ty were
captured by cannibals.
Being plump, CASTOR, alas, was the
first of the ill-fated party to be con.
signed to the great iron casserole.
And the survivors say that moth.
ing could have been more touching
and more sublime than 7Gaston's last
cry from the great pot, as the water
began to smoke and bubble and he
began to cook-Gaston's last calm cry
of a great artist:
Come, come! 1t is already past
the time for the pepper and salt!'"

And lifes vicissitudes must know:
But lay an Opal on her breast.
And hope will lull those woes to rest.

With drear November's fog and snow,
Should prize the Topaz, amber hue

A naturalist, who has been studying
the constructive instinct in birds and
animals, finds them almost as ingen-
ious as man. The beaver not only
burrows, but also builds hut of sticks
and plasters the structure with mud
by means of its fiat tail. The tail also
serves as store for fat to tide the
animal over the winter. The famingo
builds nest of mud. Harvest mice
make a spherical nest of grass.
