NODES IN BRIEF.

Scotch mixtures are strongly fav.
ored for tailored suits.
Very wide taffeta ribbons are in
great demand for millinery.
Among the newest designs in trim
mings. as we'll as laces and embroid-
eaies, are the long pointed effects.
Velvet is one of the most important
fabrics for this fall and winter mil
linery and it is used in the plain col
ors as well as in the two tone effects.
The use of the narrower hounces
OF shadow lace on fancy dinner and
evening costumes is a new style note
that is expected to become as strong
on this side as it is abroad.
The side drapery effect on both
corsage and skirt of evening gowns
is immensely favored, and lends a
certain originality which would be
difficult otherwise to achieve.

STRANGE LAKE BAIKAL.
Varied and Peculiar Animal Life Found
In Its Waters.

varied and Peculiar Animal Life Found
In Its Waters.
The riddle of Lake Baikal, In CEN
trail Asia. is similar to that Of Lake
Tanganyika. In central Africa. In
both cases, says the Japan Advertiser,
a large body of fresh water remote
from the ocean contains organisms ap-
parently marine. Both lakes. again,
contain very large number of species
not found elsewhere Lake Baikal
contains numerous salmon and seals
as well as three species Of herring. 1t
also contains a few mollusca Of appaI-
emily marine forms.
One of the most remarkable features
Of the lake perhaps IS that, although 1t
Is frozen over for about FIVE months in
the year. the animal life is extremely
abundant and varied. This may be
partly accounted for perhaps by the ex-
istence of hot springs.
One Of the latest attempts to answer
the riddle Of Lake Baikal is that Of the
Russian Investigator NJ. Berg or the
thirty-three species Of fish found In the
lake he finds that fourteen are peculiar
to 1t. while nineteen have a wide dis
tributiOn in Siberia and Europe. Many
Of these peculiar species are without
near relations anywhere. OF the mol
lusca 90 per cent are peculiar.
NJ. Berg does not think the facts de-
mand the hypothesis that the lake was
once marine. He believes that 1t has
always been fresh and that the fauna
peculiar to It has had twofold origin.
A part has originated in the lake It.
self during the long ages Of Its exist
ence. and the rest is portion Of the
prehistoric fresh water fauna Of g.
IBERIA, which It has preserved.

ANTEDATEs BABYLON.

Arizona Relics Indicate Very An.
eisnt Civilization.
Still another oldest city In the
world has been discovered. When T.
Hewitt Myring found vases in Peru In
ruins which were said to be 1000 years
old It was imagined that the remains
Of early civilizations had been pushed
rs far into antiquity as they would
ever 60. But A. Lafave, a mining en-
gineer, has found the relics Of q town
In an Arizona tableland near Phoenix,
which he insists are ut least 10000
years old. The buildings are on lev
el stretch Of country where neither silt
nor wash was possible and yet the
ruins were covered with ten feet Of
prairie dust which the discoverer
claims required ages to accumulate.
Tho buildings OF sandstone show
great architectural skill and in the
walls were found box Of cotton bolls
and a sealed jar Of corn, both well
preserved. The Arizona climate does
not permit the growth Of cotton In the
present age, SO Mr.. Lafave assumes
that sufficient time must have elapsed
since the cotton which he found was
grown to have wrought complete
change In the character Of the country.
This period he also gauges as some
thing like 10000 years.
He is satisfied that the ruins are old
er than those of Nineveh or Babylon.
He believes that the race which built
this town was possessed Of a high
civilization from the abundance Of ar
tistically wrought pottery and that 1t
subsequently was broken up by inter-
nal dissentions and possibly degenerat-
cd into the cliff dwelling peoplc.-Chi-

His Punishment.

A homely. hard featured. elderly tenn
perance speaker Of the feminine per-
suasion, In the course of a lecture be-
fore a somewhat mixed audience,
found occasion to say:
Friends. as passed along the street
at an early hour this morning 1 saw
lying in drunken stupor, amid the
ooze and slime of the gutter, a poor.
fallen. besotted fellow being. No good
Samaritan came his way; the passers-
by hurried on with merely a curious
glance and then left him to his shame.
But as | paused beside him as he lay
the thought came to me that. fallen as
he was. that man had perhaps a wife.
q mother. a sister, who loved him. So.
kneeling, brushed aside the stains
from his face and smoothed the matted
hair back from his brow and. dear
friends, kissed him."
: Thereupon from the rear Of the audi-
torium came the sympathetic comment
of an interested hearer. "And you
served him jus rightr'-Harper.s.

SAME OLD STORY.
By Lue F. Vernon.

At the Grand Opera House,
The dry comedian trolled,
\ song concerning chestnuts
And how all new things are old,
Twas good because it told the truth
In simple, tuneful strain,
The lines were bright and breezy
And this was its refrain:
Same old story, told again,
Same old pleasure, same old pain;
Same old troubles we've all been
thro'.
Same old story, nothing new.
The song was bright and pithy,
But was fatal to the show,
For hints set people thinking,
AS all observers know.
1t made spectators notice,
With reminiscent tears
How like the present opera was
To all they'd seen for years.
Same old story, gray and hOar.
Same old music sung once more,
Same old menu, Lyric stew
Same old opera, nothing new.
The solos and ensembles were
Those of "The New York Belle"
The situations similar
To those in La Tourtelle;"
The actors might have figured
In " A Stranger in New York,
The clown of the performance was
A titled Turk from Cork.
Same old opera we've seen before.
Same old sameness, only more,
Same old gaglets, all mildew-
Same old opera, nothing new.
The hero has patient wife.
Who is, however, green,
While he is smitten with the charms
OF a famous ballet queen,
His am 'rous intrigue learning
she plots to win
Husband back to wiley
All extremely thin.
Same old opera. same bad tone,
Same contempt of virtue cleanly
shown
Same applause of living, loose all
thro'.
Same old opera, nothing new.
She finds him with his Thea,"
His lost regard renews
BY being a little tougher
Than other gay dapseuse.
Moral of the story
Brought out quite strong,
Being good and modest
All are quite wrong.
Same old Paris, moral stencil,
Same old walters talk bad French,
Same old "pomme de terre and pdrles
rOus''-
Same old jargon, nothing new.
Some old serenade, same old Ger
man band,
Same old senile swell, always on
hand,
Same old chorus girls Our fathers
knew
Same old opera nothing new.
