NATURES WEATHER PROPHETS
Signs Of Flowers and Animals That
Were Followed Closely
Our Grandparents

Men have made some very wonder
full instruments which foretell what
the weather will be, but old Mother
Nature has given us messengers
which tell about the weather If we
watch the signs which they show. The
little daisies were watched by our
grandparents, who believed that
spring had not come until IL daisies
were blooming on foot of ground.
The chickweeds' starry flowers tell
when heavy winds or rains are COM
ing by closing their tiny blossoms.
The dandelions have the same habit.
Likely the golden flowers do not want
to uncover their curly heads unless
they can look up to the sun. If you
watch dandelions you will see that
they do not open on the mornings OF
the days when rain falls.
Marigolds are such particular little
blossoms that they will not even show
a ray of their splendor If storm Is
approaching Or thunder is heard in
the distance The morning glories may
wake early to beauty the garden, but
Wnen LnSy suddenly wrap tueI Shiny
scarfs about their faces you may be
sure that rain is in the air. Some
trees, such as the locust, close their
leaves when a storm is coming. If you
have a garden you might look to see
what prophets are near to warn you OF
changes in the weather. Our grand
mothers said that even peaceful old
tabby knew when to expect either rain
CT SHOW When the cat sat with her
back to tho fire our grandparents
looked to have use for their overshoes
and umbrellas.

not forbid effort Of any sort, and once
man becomes obsessed with an eXag

Is small chance of his ever duplicating
those attainments. 1t is just here,
however, that so many persons make
the mistake OF their lives by believing
that having once established a record

Her courage gradually stole back,
and something like self-disgust and
contempt filled her heart
Il am weak fool" she mused
sharply. If I go on like this, 1 shall

She swept to and fro and laughed
with triumph as she caught a glimpse
of herself, and saw that the color was
back in her cheeks and the firmness
to her bearing; then she took Off her
peignoir and removed the gown, ex-
amining it deliberately to see that no
stain of blood was on it, or on the
cloak either; this done, she threw the
dress down carelessly for her maid to
remove and brush and hung the cloak
away in a cupboard; then she drew
her peignoir round her again, pulled
up a chair to the fire and sunk into it
with sigh of fatigue.
"He swore by the child" she NUT
tered, gloomily; as she gazed into the
glowing red enbers, land this oath

She leaned her head back and her
eyelids dropped; the wine was MAX

CHAPTER Xxx.
Tho Ton+oin T,oaxrns

The evening dusk was creeping on,
for their walk had taken some time,
and Enid could see that the young
mans face was fixed and rather dis
agreable, and before she had time to
think more, he was pouring out VOWS
of love, and finished by asking her ta
be mis- wife
She stood very silent till he had
finished, and then coldly and politely
refused his cffe~.
But l don't understand you!" ex-
claimed Roger Leicester, angrily.
Could his ears have heard Alright?

"On what grounds, Miss Leslie?"
Surely you do not need me to go

Leicester; I dislike giving pain, but
I must refuse"
And I won't take your refusal!"

CHAPTER XXI,
The Dagger For George.

AS he spoke George Laxon lounged
carelessly forward; it was too dark to
see his face, but Dorothy guessed well
that there was a look of triumph on
it.
so this is how you keep your oath,
it it, George Laxon?" she began in a
whisper that was hoarse from fatigue
and agitation. This is your promise
to go to Australia and let the secret
of my past be buried? You wiring

shall submit; but you are mistaken" !"
bargain, and as you have broken your
share, so will I break mine!"
Laxon took the cigar from his lips,
and shook off the ash deliberately.

PHOTCGRAPHIkG ON APPLES
How Pictures or Words Are Printed
by Nature on tho Growing
Fruit.

Occasionally much interest is
aroused by the appearance in a fruit
store of few apples on which appear
perfect photographs, not pasted on
but apparently in tho skin of the fruit
Itself.
Though interesting, the method of
making picture apples is simple and
not at all difficult il the fruit is of
red variety. Just before the apple be-
gins to turn a Photographic film is
fastened about it in such manner
that it will not move and blur the pic
ture. The foliage is then removed so
that the apple is exposed to the direct
rays of the sun and nature does the
printing. The prints are clear, sharp
and perfect in every way, except that
depth of tone is lacking. If it is de-
sired to brand a name or words on the
fruit black paper should be used in
stead of the film, the desired letters
being cut out.
Probably some clever advertiser will
take advantage Of this method some
day, and we may be handed an apple
on which is attractively etched some
thing like 'If l Give You Pains Take
Pepper Pepsin Pills"

BUTTONS ARE OF ALL KINDS
Wide Selection Possible This Season
for Those Fond of This Kind
of Ornament.

Pearl buttons lead in favor as trim
mings and for practical use in the fall
styles. They are in white, black,
mother-of-pearl and dyed shades. Most
of these buttons are very large. nearly
all in 18 and 20 line sizes.
Demiglobe and cup shapes are seen,
with false eyes or black-rimmed eye
let's. Often the artificial ivory but
tons are dyed in two colors, or IN
black and a color.
Metal buttons, like metal passemen-
teries, are largely Byzantine in effect.
Dull brown, antique gold and silver
and hammered copper are some of the
effects shown, usually in shell pattern.
Glass and enamel buttons show ami
NAL figures-polar bears, wolves, dogs,
etc.-mounted in silver. These are es-
pecially designed for fur coats. A few
porcelain buttons are also shown,
painted in Egyptian patterns.
among novelties, pendants, in imita-
tions of jewels, and small black and
red glass buttons are offered.
