Strikinu a Comet,

If we ask the effect of a comets striking the earth we will readily see that if the head of the comet were com- posed of powders a collision would have disastrous consequences. A rain of millions of great meteoric stones would. of course, bring catastrophe. If. however. it were merely a rain or small particles or dust we might never become conscious of it. for the parti- cles would never reach us. They would be fused into gas through friction with our atmosphere many miles before reaching the surface. If the gases lib- eratcd by friction were in excessive vollllue we might suffer discomfort or even disaster It is estimated that hundreds of millions of meteoric parti cles strike our atmosphere every day. This would be a serious matter if we were not protected by our great shel- terins envelope of air. Occasionally a meteoric powder is large enough to resist the heat generated by this fric- tion and reaches the surface. This we call d meteorite The now established connection between comets and me- teors is matter of great interest," Ralph B. Larkin in North American Review.

Cockaces and Buttone.

The cockade originated simply iu ths Knot of ribbons or strings by which the broad flaps of the seventeenth een- tury round hat were cooked" oe GfaWn up to the brim in fine weather, and thus originated the three corncred nat aS well as the cooked hat of later times. There was nothing specially military about the usage as the is- norant assert. The same strings sur vive in the loops of the hats of bishops and other ecclcSiastical dignitaries in Great Britain. in the strings of the that's worn by French cures and Span ish aud Italian padres and in the cords which are still seen on the hats of some livery servants.
 It naturally became the custom for military men to cock" their hats with the livery color of the prince they served, and as the Hanoverian color was the convenient one of black the black cockade" hecam me associated in the minds of the people with military uniform. In an old Scotch song of Shirramuir, citing "Woodword's Her. aldry." we read of "the red coat lads with black cockades.' and knot of white ribbons was naturally chosen as the badge of their opponents. When the old use of the strings was forgot ten the knot, in the form of rosette of ribbon. survived, just as did the buttons on (he backs of our coats. which were intended to fasten back the flaps in riding or marching.-"Jus- tice of the Peace'

Turquoises are the favorite stones Of
all the Mongol races and are generally
worn in their original state except by
the Chinese women, who have them
roughly cut and wear them mixed with
pearls and coral. Both the Tibetan
men and women ornament themselves
with lump turquoises, the men wear
ing them attached to their single gold
earrings, which are worn In the right
ear only.
The women Of Ladakh carry their
fortunes on their heads in the shape
Of broad strip Of red cloth studded
with huge turquoises, which, starting
from the forehead, is carried over the
head and hangs nearly to the waist.
By the Ladakhis those turquoises are
preferred that have little black specks
on them, which show their genuine
ness, for even in the wilds Of central
Asia the spotless blue composition
emanating from Europe is offered for
sale, the bazaar at Darjeeling being
flooded with it.

Men, Women and Bundles.

Wrap them up separately" said the
woman at the counter, "and not In one
big package"
And then, still speaking to the clerk,
though obviously for the benefit of
others within hearing, she went on:
ut looks better to carry lot of little
bundles than one big one, and it's
easier too. You can pack them in
handily between one arm and the body
and leave the other arm free. Now,
If all these things were in one big
package I would have to use both
hands to it or run the risk of drop
ping it,"
So saying she slowed her purchases
deity along her left side, keeping
them in place with her arm, and de-
parted. A man who had heard her
looked incredulous and when his turn
at the counter came had all his pack
ages made into one big bundle and
tied securely. As he slipped his fin
gers under the ccrd and lifted the bun
die OF the counter he remarked:
This is my way. If all these things
were In separate packages I'd lose half
Of them before going block."-New
