Origin of a Famous Verse

From Taber.
 Bishop Fell. chaplain to Charles II, was one of the best and most liberal prelates by whom the see of Oxford has been filled. While dean of Christ church he expelled a youth from col lege, but offered to reinstate him if he could translate the 33d epigram of Martial. Which the scapegrace, Tom Brown, rendered thus:
 I do not love thee, Doctor Fell,
 The reason why, l cannot tell.
 But this I know, and know full well,
 I do not love thee, Doctor Fell.

URGENT NEED FOR A NAME

nine Appellation.

1t is thought by some in Germany
that the name "harem skirt" or more
horrible still "trouser skirt" Is the
only thing that prevents the spread
and general use of this much talked Of
article of wearing apparel. So these
same people have offered a prize for
the best names and have hit up Anna

and hope by keeping these more allur-
ing titles before the feminine public to
popularize the garment. Not that 1t

say. The leading German shops ad-
vertise it in bewildering variety, and
privately claim that orders are pour

like other extreme modes gone be-

the end. But II the more timid fol-
lower of fashion buys one. and keeps

The Power of Etna.

The eruption of Mount Etna In
March has led to a study OF the oper-
atoms of the great Sicilian volcano
which presents an imposing picture
of it's gigantic power. When the
strain produced by the accommodating
lava in the interior becomes too great
to be borne, the mountain often splits
open on one side, and there the molten
rock pours out and flows for miles
down the slope and across the ada.
cent country. In the eruption Of 1883
the southern slope of the mountain
was split, and the immense fissure has
served as an outlet for the lava dur
ing several subsequent eruptions. A
curious fact Is that. owing to the grad.
ual filling up of the assure, each erup-
ton has occurred at greater eleva.

Detachable Flower.

1t must have been the girl of small
allowance who invented the detach-
able flower for her hat. Trimmin.;
the winters chapeaux is so simple
that 1t is an easy matter to whisk
of one flower and put on another to
match the next costume worn.
Velvet poinsettias are a favorite
flower on winter hats for those who
can stand the vivid red so close to the
face
Another popular flower is huge vel
vet roses in rich dull tones. A new
idea is to outline the edges OF these
roses with tiny beads to correspond
to the color of the costume worn
Instead of sewing on the detach-
able roses each time, they are pro-
vided with tiny safety pins on the
under side. which are quickly adjusted
to the trimming.

MAKING a pillow Cover Fir

The cover of sofa pillow can be
made to fit well by the following little
trick: After sewing up three sides
but before turning the cover right side
out. tack the two finished corners of
the case securely to two corners of
the pillow. Turn the case over the
pillow. Sew up the fourth side for an
inch or two at each end. Tack these
two corners to the corresponding cor
ners Of the cushion. Finish as usual
This keeps the pillow from pulling
and sagging away from the cover
