NEEDLE and THREAD

Select a box-coat pattern for the little
girls coat and make it one inch shorter
than her knee-length dress. II should
be lined throughout with padded satin
or silk and the double-breasted front
should be finished with six medium-size
bone buttons. Make the coat of dark
velvet and do not trim it with orna-
ments. The little bonnet should match
the coat material.

time Sadie saw comparatively lit
tie of Eva. The brother and sister were
inseparahle; and as the weather was
fine, Eva joined him in his rides and
boating. Dorrison being generally one
of the party.
This gave Sadie time to grow accus-

master its duties. and left her ample
margin to think over all thai she
learned.
OF the servants she saw little, with
the exception of the maid. Mary Wat
son who was told of to wait upon her.
She took great pains to attach this
girl to her. and as she had been at the
Towers for some years, and had a
genius for picking up gossip and volu-
BILE delight in retailing it, Sadie learnt
many things.

with desperate case makes use of it..
In one case the judge instructed the
jury that it was to judge of the law
as well as the facts, but added that it
was not to judge of the law unless it
was fully satisfied that it knew more
law than the judge. An outrageous
verdict was brought in. contrary to all
instructions of the court, who felt call
ed upon to rebuke the jury. At last
one old farmer arose. 'Jedge," said
he, weren't we to jedge the law as

An lmpromptu Rule of Poker.

had been going on for about fort
night in the Red Light saloon. The
same group or men. five or six old
friends, made up the game every day.
ALI had varying success but one. who
lost every day. And, come to think Of
it, his luck varied, too, for some days
he lost more than on others. While he
did not say much about his losings, it
was observed that his temper was not
improving.
This sort of thing went on for thir-
teen days. The thirteenth day the loser
happened to come in little late, after
the game was started. 1t also happen
ed that on this particular day one OF
the players had brought in friend a
stranger in the town, to join the game.
When the loser came in, therefore, he
was introduced to the stranger and sat
down. A hand was dealt him. He
started to play it, stopped, raped on
the table for attention and said:
"BOyS, l want to make personal
explanation to this yere stranger.

Cockney Talk.

An Englishman who had grown tired
of his tight little isle came to this coun-
try to teach school. One day while
rehearsing a class of boys in spelling
the word saloon was given out. The
first boy missed it. likewise the second
and the third. The fourth boy. spell
ing it correctly. was asked to go to
the blackboard and write it, so that
all could see how it was spelled Point
ing to the word. the, teacher said:
This is the way you spell it. Easy.
isn'tit? Just hess, hay. hell, two
hoes and hem
In writing the word the boy had
placed the letters conspicuously far
apart. This popularity did not escape
the observing eye of the master, and
he asked:
"Why did you write it that way?
Why didn't you place the hay nearer
the hell?"
"Coz rs afraid it would burn up"
blurted out the irrepressible young
ster as he Dug his hands into his
pockets.
The next word missed was "Venice."
It was spelled with two MS.
''What would you say if ] told you
there were but one hen in Venicer'
asked the pedagogue as. he surveyed
the class critically above the rim of
his glasses.
'T should say the price of eggs would
be pretty high" came the answer from

class.-Housekeeper

THE DARK OF THE MOON.
A Result That Is Produced by the Light
Srom the Earth.

A Result That is Produced by the Light
crom the Earth.
Many people have wondered why the
part of the moon that receives no sun
light is often visible to us, the term
being the '.old moon in the young
poems ar'lS" The dark part is easily
seen Il, il copper colored globe repos-
ing in the bright crescent. This that
we see is nothing more or less than
the earth shine on the moon. We APP
pear the same way to the moon when
we are in that phase. and our dark
part is where the moonshine appears
and the bright part of the sunshine.
The reason the copper color appears
is because light has to traverse the
atmosphere of the earth three times
once on coming from the sun to the
earth. once when reflected to the
moon and again on being reflected
back to us. Our atmosphere possesses
the peculiar property of absorbing the
blue rays of this white light and al
lowing only the red and orange to go
through, thus causing the appearance
Of copper color by the triple absorb
ton.
An odd thing connected with this
phenomenon. though having nothing
to do with it, is this: That part of the
moon which appears dark to us is the
same part of the earth that appears
light to the moon at any specified time.
and that part of the moon which APP
pears bright to us corresponds to the
portion of the earth appearing dark to
the moon.
OF course it is well known that the
moon gives out no light whatever
itself, the moonshine being merely the
light of the sun on the moon reflected
to us. The same applies with the
earth in its shine on the moon. save
that we do give out CLOVIS, no doubt,
around great cities at night. on ac-
count of the enormous number of
lights. One thing. however. in which
moonshine excels the earth shine is it's
constant character. Where the earth
possesses varying clouds the old moon
never has any at all.-St. Louis Re-
public
