IN THE ORIOLES NEST.

Mrs. John Holcomb of Douglass was sewing on her machine a few days ago and had just threaded the needle from a new spool, when she was called from the house. Upon returning she found the thread all gone, and for the life of her could not tell what had become of it. A little later in the yard she found the strand reaching up into the trees, where an oriole was weaving it into its nest. The bird had flown into the window, unthreaded the ma- chine, unwound the 200 yards of thread and it used it all in its nest weaving-Kansas City Star.

When a foreign-born domestic maid was recently engaged by Mrs. Smith of Lexington avenue, the servant ex- plained that her former mistress had frequently paid her premium money for holding Der peace in the matter of reporting to the matron's hubby certain goings on in the home during his absence.
 A short time afterward Mrs. Smiths brother chanced to be his sisters guest on certain afternoon. After he had gone the maid asked Mrs. Smith: How much will you give me not to tell your husband about that man calling?"
 Milady replied: Katie, I'll give you your walking papers right now. and no reference"
 When MT. Smith came home for dinner Kate was packing her trunk He scared the girl out of years growth by threatening to have her ar rested for attempted biackmaii.

Paris Pattern No. 26O6, All Seams Allowed.-Persian lawn, nainsook, jaconet, thin camb1ic or batiste may all be used in the development of this pretty little corset-cover. The full ness around the neck and waist is reg. ulated by r1bbon-run beading, and the waist Is trimmed with wide insertion and narrow edging of lace or em. broidery, according to taste. If de- sired, the garment may be made from wide flouncing, the armholes trimmed with edging to match, worked button holes being used for the ribbon, in- stead of the beading. The pattern is In seven sizes-32 to A inches, bust measure. For 36 bust the corset cover, as in front view, requires one yard of material 36 or more inches wide, 1A yard of beading, 1% yard of rib bon, 39s yards of insertion and 3% yards of edging; or of founcing, 1t needs two yards F inches wide.
 To procure this pattern send 10 cents to Pattern Department" of this paper. Write name and address plainly. and be sure to give size and number of pattern.

JUST A MATTER OF INQUIRY.
Why Should People Entertain or Bs Entertained When It GIves
 Them No Pleasure?

"In periodical the other day." says the amateur philosopher of the Provi. dence Tribune, T ran across 2 picture of what had evidently been 8 musical entertainment or musicale-I took 1t to have been . musicale for choice.
 The flddlers had gone and so had the soloist or soloists and guests There remained in the foreground the deserted room and a waste of empty chairs, along with the open grand piano.
 The hosts head was resting on hia arms on table; the hostess had re. moved her shoes and was on the verge Of collapse. In the background but, Ter was looking on commiseratingly.
 Now, there's good deal of that sort of thing first and last the country over. It was true to life, but I never could understand it. That is, nobody has ever explained to me why people who don't enjoy entertaining or being entertained persist in making martyrs of themselves; why anybody does something for pleasure that invari- ably gives pain?
 A person who puts himself out and wears himself out in the line of duty is comprehensible, but why you should sacrifice yourself when you're pretending to be looking for fun is beyond me.
 The woman who said that her idea or perfect life from the social point Of view would be to be asked every. where and to go nowhere doubt. less expressed the sentiment of thou. sands, but why go anywhere if you feel that way?"

VARIETIES OF CORN FLOWER.
Three Hundred and Fifty Different Specimens in Existence, Accord
 ing to Botanists.

Germany adopted the corn flower as national institution many years ago. the adoption coming about mere- ly by way of popular choice. It is common flower all over Europe, but rather more prolific in Germany than in any other of the countries graced by it.
 Botanists tell us that there are no less than $50 varieties of the corn flower to be found, but the plant that Is found in profusion in the realms of the kaiser is said to be the most beautiful of all. The Germans admire 1t for the richness of its wreath-like circle of outer fiorets and the splen- dors of its deep azure tints as it opens to the sun.
 At one time German scientists at- tributed certain medicinal properties to the corn flower, and its blue blos- homs were used also to some extent In domestic dyeing. but latterly these properties are not so mulch credited to it.
 Although Germany lays claim to the finest of the species, America may boast also of some beautiful speci- mems of the corn flower. It is said to have been brought to this country first in the ballast of ships in the days antedating the modern ocean flyer, which carries only water bal last. In this country 1t Is variously known as the Bachelors Button, Corn Bottle, Witches Bellies or Thin. bles, Blue Bonnet, and Blue Poppy.

WOMEN LOSE THEIR YOUTH.

An observing woman at an annual picnic in England noticed that the women of the working classes in attendance were old at 35, and few of these women who had reached that age had their own teeth. With out teeth the health cannot be good, and this may have something to do with the old look on the faces of the women, which makes it a good argu- ment in favor of compulsory dentis- try in the schools.
