TAPESTRIES IN NEW DESIGNS
Light Summer Hangings This Year
Are PrettIer Than Those Of
Recent Seasons.

Each year brings it's special fashions
in furnishings, and just now, when the
question of house cleaning Is promi-
nently to the fore, no little interest is
being taken in the new chintz and
tapestries which are now on show for
loose coverings of all kinds. Every
where one notices the effect of the
Jacobean influence which is reassert-
ing itself in matter appertaining to
household decorations.
In place of the bunch of roses tied
with bows of colored ribbon, which
have figured on all chintz Of late. one
finds the new furnishing fabrics are
printed in a variation of rich reds,
greens, browns or wine color on a
cream ground, or display bold conven-
tional designs somewhat closely pat
termed, which lend themselves admir-
ably to furnishing purposes and which
look far more handsome and imposing
than the simple floral designs of yes
terday?
This new Jacobean taffeta Is being
used for curtains, bedspreads and
cushion covers, as well as for cover
ing chairs and sofas.

Neckband Again.

The mode of the low-necked dress
and the eollarless frock has called
out the black velvet neckband once
more. This band Is about an inch in
width When last worn this was
merely band, fastening in back or
front under buckle or pretty pin.
Now, however, it is fastened in the
back in the manner of thirty or forty
years>ago, with the long ends hanging
down the back.

Electricity as Mun1inant

first incandescent lamps and the first

In a small way In 1873. The Brush

lighting, and Cleveland, O., the home
of Charles Francis Brush, the invent

Wearing one Color.

Where economy has to be consid-
cred in matters of dress it is an ex-
cellent idea to keep closely to one or
two colors all the year through. The
wearer looks much better dressed in
this way and is saved quite a little
money on accessories, as it Is not
necessary to provide a different hat,

Commercial Value Was Not Developed
In This Country Until After the
Centennial Exhibition OF 1876.

The first experimental philosopher
to discover that electric light could
be produced by a dry battery was Sir
Humphry Davy. who in 1910 exhibited
a light three inches long, between car
bon points, before the Royal Society OF
London. But no commercial value was
attached to the use of electricity as
an illumtnant until more than half a
generation later. The Centennial ex-
hibition, held in Philadelphia in 1875,
really marks the era of our present
form of electric light, though electric
lights had been In use abroad prior

els and practical demonstrations of

THE PUZZLE FOR BOTANISTs
California Has Pine With Cones SO
Hard the Seeds Can't Be
Released.

J1pper California is the home of a
tree that has puzzled botanists. 1t 1s
pine which will grow only near the
seacoast. It's growth is slow and it
does not attain to great size.
The strange thing about it is that
there are, to all appearances, 1nsur-
mountable difficulties in the way OF
the repetition of the species. Some
specimens of it exist in Kew Gardens,
England. They have been carefully ex-
amined by competent authorities and
all admit that the tree presents prob
lem unlike anything elsefhere met
with.
This pine produces at regular inter-
walls the usual cones containing seeds.
but, strange to say, the cones are so
thoroughly protected that the seeds
cannot be released. The cones are hard
and tightly closed and bave strong
overlapping scales.
More extraordinary still is the fact
that the pine, after producing its al
most invulnerable cones, keeps them
hanging on it's branches year after
year. Unless through some peculiar
accident, the seeds would apparent
ly remain attached to the parent tree
| forever. Many of the cones on the
trees in Kew Gardens have been there
for years, as is shown by the size Of
the branches and the formation OF the
bark.
1t has been found that the seed ves-
sells which this tree so powerfully re-
tains are so we'll protected that it re-
ouires a strong knife, with the assist
ance of a heavy hammer. to cut the
cone into sections No ordinary condi-
tons of temperature can make a cone
open.
The following is the only eXplana-
ton yet offered that seems to have
any degree of FEASIBILITY, The spe-
cies may be perpetuated by fire. One
who has studied the tree asserts moth
ing but the intense heat of forest
fire could compel the cones to release
their seeds. 1t has been found that

Why Friday 10 UnIucky.

The other day the writer had a
clue to the reason of Fridays ILL.,
name for being unlucky. He had a
task to fulfill that he had performed
with praiseworthy monotony every
day for-well, too many years to be
critically noted, and yesterday he for
got it. When he came to think of 1t
he had forgotten it on two former &C.
casions, and both days of omission
were Fridays. Why was it? He put
it down to what he registered in his
mind as Friday Fag-that is, the &C
cumulated tiredness of weeks in
dusty. Friday is always the day
when you forgot things-if you do
forget things. 1t is often the one
smirch on blameless week. That's
why it's unlucky.-London Chronicle.

But this is somewhat utopian view.
The prospects, SO far as present knowl-
edge goes, while not utopian, are at
least not discouraging. We cannot
abolish germs by law. We cannot es-

health measures. We breathe them
constantly and become their hosts in
various other ways. We never know
when we will be invaded by frightful
tetanus, or by pyogenes (the germ Of
so-called blood-poisoning). l would as
.soon take in few million bacilli of
tuberculosis as l would one. If were
not safe against million wouldn't be
safe against one: and one would do the
job as we'll as million. A few million
germs more or less in a cubic foot Of
air makes small difference one way or
the other. We cannot enforce the laws
proposed by some well-meaning If un-
Informed sociologists who would pro.
hibit marriage to all persons not i'm

BILE way by which we can prevent non
immune persons from propagating
