For Our Boy and Girl Readers
THE WONDERFUL STARS.
Great Heavenly Bodies You See Move
With Clock-like Precision

Children who love TO look at the
liant display Of stars do mo- know, per
haps. that they are looking at great
heavenly bodies which are making
their way through space with the regu-
laIfty Of a perfect clock. Indeed,
should one of these immense bodies get
the least bit out of place. be II min
ute behind its scheduled time in its
orbit. 1t would throw al entire plan
etary system into wild confusion, per-
haps causing terrible collisions which
would wholly destroy whole worlds.
OF course this tragic result of n plan
cts going wrong is mere conjecture,
for none has ever got out of its orbit
or been a moment out of its scheduled
time as il rolls through space.
Sometimes we pick out a very bril-
liant star in the sky and say. THAT
must be n star of the first magnitude"
And in very truth we may not be look
ing ut a star Mt all. but the light from
one long since dead. That star was
perhaps 200 years sending its light TO
us through space and may have died
soon after we received it. But we are
still looking ut the light and will look
at it 200 years after the star has gone
out In blacknesS. for you know that all
planets have their birth. their life and
their death just as we do. poor tiny
specks of creatures that inhabit them.
And there are systems so much larger
than ours that we could be lost in II
little corner of them. Yet how large
seems our earth-how almost beyond
measure of the mind is u sun! And
this sun of ours could be lost inside
some of the mightier suns that hold to-
gether immense systems as q ball
would be lost If tossed into the ocean.

A CHECK ON EXTRAVAGANCE.
Trend Toward simple Clothes Once
Again Is Reported From Abroad.

There Is going to be something of m
upheayal in the dressmaking world.
says one of the English magazines.
English women. once upon a time. OF
the upper and middle classes. prided
themselves on dressing well. but by
no means so e-xtravagantly as Parish
and Americans. About ten years
ago came a revolution. The price Of
frocks went up tremendously. and
women who had hitherto only afforded
themselves five and ten guinea frocks
thought nothing Of paying 10 and 20
g%uineas for exactly the same sort OF
tailor made or afternoon attire. As
girls. these women had paid > guineas
for II hat. and now they paid 6 TO 10
guineas. Extravaganza became the
rule. and great was the %grumbling of
the husbands and fathers. Now we
are 10 change all that. Nay. the change
has been going on imperceptibly for
some time.
Dukes daughters. who could be quot
ed. with the help of their maids are
making their own pretty clothes. and
the wives of officers and merchants
and painters have awakened 10 the
fact that the extreme extravaganza
they INDUCED in was not only a pity
in other ways. but bad form. So Eng
lish women for the most part do not
mean To follow the lead of smart Par
isians and Americans any more in this
respect. and many are engaging little
dressmakers GU of the house or job
bling dressmakers by the day in their
homes TO carry out their own ideas.

The Best Thina In the World.

A vote of the Office of n Buffalo
newspaper was taken on the subject
of what is the best thing in the world.
Not a man or woman of them all had
the courage to say that money was.
But they all did the highbrow with
such definitions as these:
The unkind word which you left I'M

A road leading over a hill.
The absolute failure.
Indifference TO an unfair advantage.
The quiet forest.
A woman singing at her work.
A child falling asleep.

AN ELEPHANTS APPETITE.

Since the elephants digestive func-

MYSTERY OF THE ORCHID.
Grows Under Strange and often un-
csnny Circumstances.

~
The orchid is the flower of romance
and adventure. Ii might be called,
also. the universal flower.
Some of the most exciting expert
ences In foreign lands fall to the lot
Of orchid hunters. They push into I'M
~frequented parts in the hope of secur-
ing some new genus. and when they
do. no end of money is made in intro
ducing the flower which nobody out
side Of the discoverer and the intro
ducer has eve seen.
SOM years z o says the Brooklyn
Eagle. Il collector was sent by an Eng
fish house to New Guinea TO procure
n "dendrobium.' which was then very
rare. He went to the country, dwelt
among the natives for months. faring
as they Jared. often under very trying
conditions. and found Il magnificent
collection of orchids i'm n native bury
ing ground. The flowers were bloom
ing among the exposed bones and
skulls. After much hesitation the ma
tives allowed him to remove the
orchids, some of them still i'm the
skulls. The natives tent along with
the beautiful flowers n little idol to
watch owe the spirits of the departed
as represented by the skulls. which
We're also taken. The plants sold at
fabulous prices.
Sometimes the orchid hunter will
come across a tree completely covered
with orchids of a variety of colors.
These are what are known as terres-
trial orchids. They are carried through
the air by the wind and lodge on trees
and become parasites. They fasten
themselves where they lodge and grow
and blossom. Sometimes a number of
different varieties of differing colors
fasten on the same tree. and when they
blossom the sight is superb.

the cost.
"One dollar and ninety cents" re-
piled the barber.
Proceed" said Morse. settling

uI0tiOn of fie BozVeLs.

II woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics, every woman would be a
picture of loneliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that 1t lies In health. In
the majority Of cases the basis of
health, and the cause of sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con
duce to this trouble. They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served daintily
and they do not exercise enough But
1t is important that the condition
should be corrected.
An ideal remedy for women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
Quirements, ia DR.. Caldwelfs Syrup

dorse highly, among them Mrs, c. 8.
