Caution as to Fur.

Now that fur and maribou are so
popular for trimming evening gowns
it may be well to give Il word of eau
ton as to its arrangement
For instance. the cuff of fur finishing
the short sleeves is exceedingly .fasci-
mating when seen on the display figure.
but unless woman has an especially
good figure it is seldom becoming, be-
cause the bands cut the figure and in
cidentally shorten it. When one is
in doubt the better plan will be to take
narrow fur and trim the sleeve in
snake fashion, starting at the lower
edge, midway between the inner seam
Of the sleeve and the outward edge of
the arm, passing under the latter and
appearing again in the front, an inch
or more above the lower edge.
The upper band stops about two
inches from the inner seam of the
sleeve
Tiny rOsettes or fancy jeweled but
tons may finish the ends of the fur.

The Public Libraries Of Berlin.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.


The statistics just published by the mu-
nicipal authorities of Berlin Of the public
libraries and reading rooms are Of inter-
est. for they reveal that the public made
less use Of them during the past mu-
nicipal year than in the year previous.
During the year 1910-11 the number
of persons who used the public libraries
was 141 .1O7. of whom 131 ,O53 were men
and 1O,054 were women, being about 1000
persons less than in the previous year.
This is accounted for by the authorities
by the fact that one Of the reading rooms
was closed. and the number OF persons
who visited fourteen reading rooms was
less. whereas the twenty-eigfn public Ii
braries showed an increase In the num-
Der who made use of them. The num-
Der of books lent in the reading rooms
amounted to 55,24O, against 71,59S in the
previous year. but the magazines used
amounted to 1913. nearly double that or
19(s9-10
From the twenty-eight public libraries
were issued 1,544,560 volumes. being an
increase of 10000 on the previous year.
The classification of the books lent
showed that 63S 646 were of good German
literature: 256,076 journals and collective
works: 2S1,777 journals for boys: 1O4,T1S
volumes Of good foreign literature; 1890
volumes of geographical works and books
of travel, and 44,S54 books history.
Novels, apparently, are included under
the headings of good German" and for
eign' literature.

BALTIMORE, Nd. October 2O.-Half

Laurel is over. and for a new venture II

without opposition, and it is believed that
profit will be realized.
That the enterprise cut into the re-

Pimlico that the layers OF odds are COM

Is also a bit scarce at both tracks, ana
this does not brighten the prospects OF an
af1uent season for the professional ODDS
layer At Laurel things have been a tribe
different, as the. fields have been larger
and the uncertainty of the results has
been very pronounced.
This encouraged the bOokmaking ele-
ment to operate, but the shortage or
money and the running expenses make
it a hard grind for the majority to break
even, and it will not be surprising to see
q falling off in the ranks in the next few
days at Laurel, although there will be

as PimIico closes.
The stakes to be given at Norfolk have
filed admirably-better than at any track
this year-as the Virginia institution will
have an accumulation of horses from all
over the country. In fact, accommoda-
tons will be at a premium.

Gray Matter in Fingers.
From Nautilus.


Once 1t was believed that the gray mat

skull Now ply sicans and other students
of physiology tell us that this same
gray" matter is found in other parts
Of the body; for instance in the tips
of the fingers Of the blind where the
thinking has been consciously much ex-
ercised. One physician tells us there is
little brain in the throat and it often
seems to be an independent thinking or

become a friend and confidant of that
little brain or his operation will not be

the throat and in the fingertips will yet
be discovered throughout the whole body,
because We will consciously think in
every part. At present much of the

there is harmony and unity in all the

Dust the Friend Of the Housewife.
From Popular Mechanics.


The kingdom OF dust is made up Of
little folk. and some of them are eager
to help the housewife in her manifold
duties. Indeed, she could not get along
without them, as they make her bread
spongy and light. furnish her with good.
sour vinegar, and manufacture all the
alcohol that is made in the world.
These little folks. and they are really
very small, as $500 can find plenty of
room on a thread one inch long, are the
chemists of the kingdom of dust, and
they are the most efficient chemists in
the world. They do not charge enormous
fees for consultation, and are always at
hand, ready for work. In fact. we can
buy a whole university of them for five
cents at the nearest grocery. They come
in very small cakes wrapped in tinfOil
and every cake contains millions of these
erudite chemists, known to us as yeast.
These compressed tablets are what
might be termed the aristocrats of the
yeast family. to distinguish them from
the wanderers and tramps known as
wild yeast, which are scattered every
where in the atmosphere, and have no
regularity of lineage or habits of life.
Compressed yeast is literally the ''cul-
tured' variety of the yeast tribe, and
is made up of strong, healthy plants that
are known to do the very best work, and
to produce no unpleasant results in the
way of making sour bread, or causing
other mischief, as their wild brethren Of
the atmosphere are SO prone to do.

"Soul Photography"
From the Philadelphia Press.

lne fnliaOelpnid PrcsS.
The short, sharp and decisive declara-
ton of DR.. Arthur w. Goodspeed that
soul photography is rot will be echoed
by every sensible person. Perhaps there
is one man or woman in thousand who
as theosophist or spiritualist, believes
that the camera may record pictures Of
spirit emanations from the human body
First in London and then in Chicago GER
tain scientific gentlemen who are es-
teemed as X-ray experts claim to have
photographed the pale blue aura"
which represented the vital spark as
IT left the forsaken body at the moment
of death. DR.. Goodspeed, who occupies
the chair of physics at the University OF
Pennsylvania, says this alleged vital
spark is nothing more than an optical
illusion. Like a true scientist he re-
Trained from so declaring until he had
duplicated the identical experiments of
the London and Chicago X-ray experts
with Identical apparatus.
There is nothing new about this pale
blue aura" Theosophists aver that such
an emanation surrounds every human
body, but that the color varies through
all the shades of the rainbow, according
TO the disposition and spiritual character
of the individual. Their published books
contain many plates of such "auras''
which enlightened adopts" and white
Mahatmas'' assert that they can see as
of the earth. 1t must be very uncom-
Portable kind of diseased vision which
reveals one man surrounded by a crimson
cloud and another In green haze. Prob

Mesmer and his disciples claimed that
they could see these phantoms. In the
absence of photography they drew pic
lures of the emanations surrounding the
living or lowering over the graves of the
dead. Half a century ago began the
fraud of ''SDirit nhnfnQra nhy unlo ar

rope and America. Spirit photography
was outrageous fraud; "soul photography

Some hot-headed Athletic rooters were
