and Benjamin Franklin speaks Of him
in letter to friend thus:
'sYou have doubtless heard the sweet

He collected a number of glasses Of
different sizes. fixed them. near each

putting into them water, more or less
as each note required The tones were
brought out by passing his fingers
round the brim."
There is story of Pockrich, who
was making occasional tours to Eng
land after the invention Of the musical
glasses, that illustrates the surprising
effect Of his own performance on them.
1t is told by his friend Brockhill New
burgh, gentleman Of wealth and Do
sition, who lived in Dublin at the time:
"Mr Pockrich in his brewery near
Islandbridge, happening to be one day
seized by bailiffs, thus addressed them:

Sight Acquaintance.

Dear Miss Poynter.
am a young girl 16 years old and
know only by sight a young man whom
] sec every day. Now this young man
always says How do?' and I
answer by saying the same. Then l
meet him at another street and he
waves his hand at me. Shall ! wave
back at him or not? Awaiting our
answer. HOUSE GIRL
It Is always q woman's privilege to
recognize the men of her acquaintance,
and they should never make any sign
of greeting until she has shown by a
bow or by passing the time of day that
it is her pleasure to recognize them.
They should respond by lifting the hat.
You should never have returned this
mans first greeting, as he was decid-
eddy familiar to address you. The fact
that he now greets you by waving
shows that he either lacks training or
proper respect for you. By no means
wave back at him. Ono should no.
greet anyone by waving. 1t is undigni-
fed and is apt to make the person CON-
s%picuous. Let this be q lesson to you
not TO speak to a man to whom You
have not been properly introduced. Men
arc sure to lose respect for a woman
who makes herself a second party to a
street filtration.

THE SNOW-WHITE HAT.


A young face can always wear a
white hat to advantage, n in these
days of the preservation of good looks
the white hat is almost generally be
coming. In London and Paris there is
a decided rage for the snow-white hat.
1t is so cool, and then there is the
practical recommendation Of matching
any color of the dress worn with 1t.
The large fat shape is very popular.
1t is of hemp, supple chip or fine
straw and has very little trimming on
it,, White wings crossed, or used to
encircle the crow are the type OF
decoration most favored.
If, however. you object to the use
of plumage, the white hat is still yours
1t can have a scarf of white silk, with
perhaps just a line Of color, suggested
by Misunderstanding in silk, or tiny dots
or squares embroidered on the ends.
A net bow of white is another trim
ming that carries out the light, airy
idea. This is either large, perched at
the back, or a small, butterfly form AT
one side.
Even white velvet is used; If you
prefer the flower trimming bleaehed
wheat and barley are at your service
the flowers, of course. On many of tn /.
expensive white hats scarfs of white
are held at one side by white canoes
There's an idea for you.

DIAMONDS EXPLODE.
-

Diamonds often explode. That is the
assertion of DIR. A. e. Tuition. the
worlds leading expert on crystallogra-
ply, who recently gave a lecture on
diamonds before the Royal Society of
Arts in london and told many things
that startled society ome He ex-
plains diamonds may explode at almost
any time, and that thousands of dol
lars put into the gems may disappear
in a flash. He cited many instances
where diamonds explode on being takell
out of the earth, and says that such an
explosion may occur months or even
years after they are released from the
mines. He says diamonds in all prob
ability were formed through the flu
sion of carbon at great temperature
under such pressure as could exist only
at great depths below ground. He
points out that by the time the gems
had worked their way ear the surface
through volcanic disturbances and
earthquakes and were within reach of
the miner the great pressure was gone.
1t is a frequent occurrence, he says, for
diamonds to explode in the hands of
miners after being dug out,

ODD SUPERSTITIONS
CONCERNING MATRIMONY.

There is a certain superstition in
India, which many matrlmonially-in-
clined young women believe, which
a that to secure a husband n need
only look upon a bridegroom at a mar
rage ceremony, turn away from him
and go directly home. If the girl so
much as glimpses him again that day
the charm is lost and she is doomed to
maidenhood for life.
Another quaint belief of the Hindus
is that anyone killing q frog will never
be married. In Bengal there is a pic
turesque tradition to the effect that il
a butterfly enters the room n fits
about the house there will be a mar
riage in the family soon, and that a
butterfly lowering persistently about
any particular person presages mar
rage for that person within a few
months,
Before smiling at these foolish little
traditions 1T is is well to remember our
own. The hesitancy about accepting
the last piece of food on the plate is
due to the belief that it dooms the re-
cipient to a single existence. When
the bride losses her bouquet it is be-
HeVed DY many Una thc Bhi wiz 5SN'
it will be the next to wear the wedding
veil. and the lucky recipient of the ring
in the brides cake will be the next one
for whom wedding bells will chime.
Another odd superstition largely be-
lieved in has to do with wedding cake.
1t is thought that If eleven slips upon
which are written the names of eleven
masculine admirers are placed under
the pillow with the bit of cake, and
one slip is drawn out each morning, the
last one will contain the name OF the
girls future husband.
OF course. no n is superstitious.
These queer little ideas are carried out
just for the fun there is in them, but
down in their heart of hearts there are
a good many girls who think they
might come true.

LINEN


The woman who had been spending a
weekend at a beautiful country house
came back with bitter complaints about
the liner sheets in which she had been
compelled to sleep.
'There can be no reason for usinB
them she asserted GROSSLY, "but se-
spect for tradition. The housekeeper
may enjoy seeing them on the shelves
of the linen press. n may take
pleasure in the thought of handing
them down to posterity, but. they afford
cold comfort to the sleeper and they are
so rumpled after a single nights use
that they are anything but 'autifull
to look at. A good quality of cotton
is fl pleasanter TO live with, and ply
sicians say it is more healthful. too.
With pillow cases it is different. for the
smooth c~oolness of linen appeals to
most faces, and besides it lends itself
to decoration If one is fond of needle
work."

s~UFFRAGBrTE BIRDS.


There are suffragettes among birds.
So says Mary r. A. Tench, who has
passed years In studying birds in every
part of the world. She says there are
many hen birds who rule the nest and
compel their feathered husbands to
obey in the slightest detail. "The hen
phalarope,' says Miss Tench, (which is
graceful and delicate of form and is
found in Alaska, does all the real love
making, for the male as a rule in the
first instance rejects her advances He
marries her to get rid of her, and then
probably regrets it, for he at once
sinks into a 'henpecked' husband,
taking charge of the nest while his wife
fiutters about amusing herself to her
hearts content" Miss Tench adds h a
among birds of prey the female ire
ouently is the one who must be obeyed.
The bird, she explains, can enforce her
orders, because she is stronger and
larger than her mate. The fighting
quail OF the East is insignificant and
dowdy in comparison with he hen
bird, who is larger, finer and often
distinguished by a red ruff OF which
she seems very proud.

Facts About Baby;s Health

wOMAN'S CLUB is COSMOPOLITAN


Many American women in CONSTANT
nople are members of the Constantine
pie Woman's Club. The organization
is cosmopolitan, n has American,
English. French. German, Russian, Bull
garian. Greek and Armenian women on
its membership roll. The members
meet at least once a month, enjoying
musicales, lectures, essays on litera-
ture, travel and history. The club Of
fers an unusual opportunity to those
members who understand several Ian
guages. because the subjects discussed
deal with many countries, and are so
varied as to give the members a per-
spective of many nations. American
women tell of their own country, and
their talks are so intimate they afford
a much broader view than any discus
sion in a book. The membership fee
is eighty cents a year.

ROOF VEGETABLE GARDEN.


one of New York's very wealthy men
saws that he expects before long to
raise all his winter vegetables on the
roof of his big town house. thus saw
ing himself the worry Of getting things
in from his country place in stormy
weather. Greenhouses will be built
and quite an extensive truck garden
will be laid out, a plot for potatoes in
Guided. If his enthusiasm proves con-
~tagious other men of means will prob
ably follow his example. for there are
many extensive roofs in New York
absolutely without a vocation. Occa-
sionally one is fitted up as a sun par
lor. a palm garden or a tennis court
and in one case a small ZOO was
lodged on the roof. but these things
are exceptional. and it is not to be
expected that they should have the ap-
peal of fresh vegetables.

Heart-broken

Dear Miss Poynter:
! am a young girl of Il years old.
My parents object to my going put
with young men. They do not want me
to go away nights. There arc a few
young men I are for n whole lot. One
of them has been a married man. but
was divorced some time ago. | like him
best of all. but my parents hate him.
They do not know that he has beou
married, so l must always meet him
away from the house. Please advise
me what to do. Thanks.
HEARTBRokEN.
You are a very foolish girl. and your
parents are perfectly right i'll their at
titude toward YOU. You arc far too
young to think Of men.
/ would advise you to have nothing
to do with the divorced man. or with
any man you have TO meet away from
home. It is perfectly proper for a girl
II to have a few boy friends her own
age, but 1t is very wrong for her to
have these friends without the o n
sent of her parents. Make more girl
friends and forget the men for two or
three years. Even at that time, re-
member that your parents are better
Judges than you are, and that they al
ways have your best interest at heart.
