Owing to its derivation the word
green was originally applied to the

Of the sea. No application Of green"
to the color Of the sea Is quoted before
Chaucer. but as early as the year zoe
il was used for vegetation. The word

The sun is nearer to the earth in

distance that determines the amount
Of heat that we got from the sun. but
the length Of time the sun is above
the horizon and the direction in which
his rays strike us. In summer, al
though much farther from us. the sun
is daily above the horizon much longer
than when he is nearest. at the winter
solstice. and this continued action pro-
duces the summer heat. In addition
to this is to be reckoned the fact that
in summer the force of the suns rays
Is more perpendicular to the earth's
surface. while in the winter they are
oblique. In the case Of the perpendic-
uIar ray the heat stays. while In that

TORONTO, Ont, Jan. 6.-The NJ.
Rumely company which recently &C

two million dollars. 1t is registered in

have been issued. Half the stock was
held by the Advance thresher COM

TO THE FJJRNI-
TURE MARKETS

The semi-annual exposition Of new
styles in furniture at Grand Rapids,
Michigan, will be opened January l.
There the scores of makers of fine
furniture will display the new crea-
lions of their various designers.
There has been much improvement
of late years in the standard of taste
in home furnishing and, possibly, no
one factor has so much contributed to
this great end as this same Grand
Rapids exhibit This is most notice
able of course, in the windows of the
dealers in such wares.
Mr. W. II. Rooney of The Rooney
Furniture Co., will leave Monday to
attend the Grand Rapids market for
the purpose of inspecting the latest
designs and tendencies in the fash
ioning of furniture. While there he
will have an eye to the best styles and
values suited to the residents of Rich
mond
Many of the French styles of the
different Louis are coming into vogue
and the principal English styles-such
as Sheratons. Chippendales and Hep
pelwhites-are being provided in fur
niture selling at extremely moderate
prices. This is true, also, of the Early
English Jacodean and Queen Anne
styles. The favored of fortune are not
| the only ones who may now have these
typical designs: The Grand Rapids
Exhibit has made these possible for
those of limited resources.

much stronger than that of man.
81 have always thought it was the
other way"
"No, sir. Suppose that the wealth
er is very cold-that the mercury ID
away down near zero. A man puts
on pair of stockings that are az
thin as the gauze which appears on
the grass on dewy morning. Then
he sticks his feet into pair of shoes
that barely cover the soles of his
feet, leaving his insteps and ankles
exposed. Let us suppose that his
trousers are SO short that they reach
only little more than half way
from his knees to his ankles. Do you
imagine that big, warm muff into
which he may thrust his hands will
save him from pneumonia or enable
him to be perfectly comfortable?

REQUIREMENT OF cooks.

The woman's demand for cook
who could stand the heat was per-
fectly reasonable, but it threw the
employment agent into an argumen-
tative mood.
'What difference does that make
now?" he said. Summer is over.
There won't be any heat for her to
stand"
ooh, yes, there will be over my
coal range" said the woman. "There
are a lot of dishes that girl who
is susceptible to heat never can cook
as we'll as one who is not. Hot
breads belong in that class. They
require hot oven, and the girl who
feels the heat doesn't get it hot
enough. She is at the roasting point
herself and imagines the oven is in
the same condition when it lacks
several degrees of the required tenn
perature. Using herself for a ther-
mometer, that same girl will begin
to bake griddle cakes before the fire
is hot enough and spoil half the
batch"

ARE GIRLS sELF-cENTERED7
Writer Comes to the Front With Rath-
Or Severe Criticism 81 the
Modern Young Woman.

The sclf-ccnteredness Of the mod
ern young woman is annoying and
unattractive to the older women who
have been trained to show interest in
the people with whom they come in
contact.
In other days it was not consid-
cred good manners for a young girl
to be uninterested and Indifferent to
what her elders said of her, but now
adays she does not even strive to dis
guise her lack Of interest and her
air Of absolute boredom is an affront
against good taste and breeding.
She frequently maintains an alb
sorbed silence when not with her in-
innate set of young friends, or else
answers in such a careless and in
different manner that older women
hesitate to draw her into CONVERSE
ton.
What has become of the young girl
who was always sweet and agreeable
to older persons, who used her pref
test manner and most charming
smile when talking to them? Surely
we have not seen the last of her, for
she was one of the most refreshing
things in life.
And the young person who has
taken her place, who half turns her
shoulder upon older women, proving
by her attitude and manner the un-
speakable ennui that she is suffer-
ing, is. to say the least, a bit trying.
Strive as one will to gain her in
terest, one has the sensation of fail
ing utterly. She manages to convey
without the slightest insolence. ex-
