Free Sculpture.

Very many years ago 1t was the fashion of England and on the con tinent to have great gardens of ever green trees trimmed and clipped into curious and fantastic shapes. To such an extent did the craze develop that these gardens were filled with crouch ing lions, pigs and even hens and chickens. all laboriously sculptured from living green and kept in trim by constant use of the knife and the shears.
 few of these gardens were estab- lished in this country and one still re- mains in perfect condition. It is lo- cated on the famous HunneweIl estate at Wellesley. Mass. and is visited by people from all over the world. The garden is on the side of terraced hill dropping away to a beautiful little lake.
 Evergreens of many kinds are to be found there and each summer a force of workmen with long ladders care fully prune and trim the branches in order to preserve the strange shapes which have been developed with the utmost patience.

CURRANS WIT SAVED HIDE
Eminent lrishman Probably Never Used His Tongue to Better Ad-
 vantage to Himself

During a trial in Tipperary. Cur ran made scathing attack on land agent. Two days later an enraged gentleman burst into his bedroom in Dublin. before the counselor was out of bed and. fiourishing a horse-whip sayagely said:
 sir, I'm the gentleman you insulted in the courthouse in Clonmel in the presence of the whole county. and I'm here to thrash you soundly"
 What" exclaimed Curran. indig- nantly. You call yourself a gentle man, and yet you mean to strike a man when he's lying down"
 "No. bedad. protested the agent. scorning to take a mean advantage of his enemy. and sitting down. I'll just walt till you get out of bed. an then I'll give It to you hot and heavy"
 "Troth. if that's the way of It." said Curran, .I'll lie here till you change your mind"
 And he turned over on his other side The agent laughed and the counselor laughed and he who came to whip stayed to dine, and the pair parted the best Of friends.

OOUBLET IS TO COME BACK
Fashion That Cannot Add to Feminins Beauty and Viii Not Be he-
 corded Welcome.

Fashion. that naughty rival of na- ture. 10 whose dictates both the graces and beauty are frequently sacrificed has revived the doublet from pre-Eliz- abethan times-the best specimen Of which is preserved in the lsham col lection fin the Victoria and Albert mu- scum. London.
 The revival has not brought im- proyement upon the original design the modern waist" is a shapeless. wrinkled affair. with row Of closely set buttons going down the front. If the influence were confined to a single garment, there would be less cause for protest but it has spread and the beauty-destroying lines have been in- corporated into some of the latest negligees and boudoir gowns. Fancy robbing these garments of all their feminine curves and friyolities, Dress ls to beauty what harmony is to mel ody: it ought to set it on 10 advan- tage. to enhance its luster. never 10 cover or disguise it. The straight up- and down lines Of a masculine doublet are certainly not appropriate. as the promoters of the fashion will doubt less learn from experience.

MAKING THE HUMBLE PENNY
By the Use Of ingenious Machinery the Coins Are Turned Out and
 Sorted Quickly.

We speak of copper coins as Cop pers" for short. In reality the penny is bronze, a mixture of copper, tin and zine. This metal arrives at the mint in long bars. It is put into closed crucibles fin a closed furnace, where the immense heat melts 1t un- 1T it runs like water The melting removes any impurities in the metal.
 The purified metal Is poured into long, thin molds and cooled, after which 1t Is pressed between powerful rollers Into sheets the exact size and thickness of a penny. These long, thin strips now go to another ma chine This one is called the "cut- ter" It cuts the metal into round disks the size of a penny. The scraps fall into a tray beneath and are melt ed again in the furnace, so that noth- ing Is wasted.
 The blank disks are now brought to a machine which raises the edges of the coins This protects the face of the penny from a great deal of wear. After this process they are baked for two and a half hours to strengthen them Then they are ready for the stamping machine.
 Into the machine they are dropped down a sloping tube At the bottom Of it they are struck between two dies and they come out stamped on both sides Every coin is tested before 1t leaves the mint The coins pass on a revolving belt before an expert, whose quick touch and glance discern those of imperfect make, bad color. etc.
 The last and most wonderful ma chine in the mint is the one that counts the pennies and bags them. putting the same number in each bag.

IDLE TO TALK OF EQUALITY
Writer Cites Two Typical Cases That Seem to Snatter the Beauti-
 ful Theory.

Two children are born on the same day-born with equal power of body mind and soul. one Is carefully fed, well clothed and housed taken to the mountains in summer. surrounded by cultured men and women, and by oongenial playmates. sent through school and college. and at the age of fwenty-two established in a law or flee with the best Of recommendations and prospects.
 The other child badly fed and housed, grows up in an atmosphere of neglect. His body is anemic, his mind is untrained. His father, who never earned more than a pittance falls sick, so at twelve the undeyel- oped. neglected boy is sent, without encouragement or outlook, to tie threads in cotton mill. At twenty two he Is earning nine dollars a week. At times the ambition to study Jaw has fitted across his mind, but who would support mother and the children while he was at his books2 Ue dismisses the thought and goes on with his work.
 If the first boy had been similarly Teared he would be in the cotton fac tory. The start was uneven; one boy had handicap of physique. mental training, soul expansion and ten years of freedom to play and grow. The oth- CT boy was damned in his eradle.- Boston Globe

FABRICS PROMISED FOR FALL
Many Beautiful Materials Win Be or. fered When the Cool Days Have
 Really Set In.

Satin-faced crepes and duchesse sat ins are prominent among silk mate rials. as are also ribbed weayes of all weights, and silk and wool poplins. The printed chiffon taffetas for eve ming wear are beautiful New sheer silk fabrics are ornamented with bor- ders. many times in black and white. Some new corded silks have a satir surface The new moires show variety of effects. such as satin stripes and cords Brocaded moires are in novel designs These new moire silks are slightly stiffer. this being the fin ish applied to all of the new dress materials.
 Silk velour in fine qualities. solid eolors and light weights appropriate for costumes and outer garments is a leading fabric Gahardines and chif- ion duEetynes will be popular autumn materials. The use of silk cashmere in heavy weight for dressy afternoon costumes is an indication of the large use of heavier materials for dressy toilets
 The new serges have stripes of silk in Scotch colorings Among materials for trimming suits and coats, as well as for entire coats, are the new diago- nal and striped fabrics in silk and wool The new material for sport coats is pure wool, having velour or plush finish In bright celors. Some interest. ine new patterns have widely scattered designs in embroidery. There are also new designs in stripes and plaids.

MADE IT ALL QUITE PLAIN
At Least Bill Probably Understood What His Prospects of Landing
 the Job Were.

Bill was looking for work. He had tramped round all day inquiring at the different places where there was any probability of casual laborer finding a job, but had not struck any luck.
 At last he came to the great gates of the factory owned and run by Messrs O'Connor & Murphy. Seeing the foreman standing looking down the street. he went up and asked him fl he could put job his way.
 Were full 10 burstin wid men now" said he, But if yez came along tomorrow bright and early. it's meseif that might be givin' of job to yez.
 "Right-6h," answered Bill. I'll be round all right Then shade Of sus- picion crossed his brow. You're not pulling my leg. are you? There really is chance Of a job?
 Bless the man. aint telling yez3 It's like this here; We've got man here now who isn't here, and, be gorra. if he Isn't here tomorrow I'll be after tellin' him he needn't stop and it's yourself can have the job.

THEATRICALS IN YEAR 1765
Hamlet Used His Sword to Drive tho Encroachlng Audience From
 tho Stage.

Before the curtain went up the audi lections on the harpsichord by the young Mozart as he appeared at the Haymarket Little theater in 1765, of whom it was written that "all the overtures were of the boys own composition. Next came the ar rival of royal parsonage" and down through the stalls, attended by his suite, and preceded by Kemble holding a candelabrum, came the august gentleman to be placed with many bowings in a seat near the stage. John Philip Kemble then recited a well-written prologue done for the oc- casion by Arthur Scott Craven, and to the cry of an orange weneh in the audience calling Sweet China oranges, the play began.
 For the most part the producer has treated his subjects in a spirit Of has gone to some of the most bizarre episodes in the history of the English stage.
 Thus we had that terrible precocity. the Infant Roscius, appearing as Nor val in an act of the tragedy Douglas; Roscius. better known as Master Bet ty. for whom Pitt once adjourned the house of commons so that members might go and see him perform, was honored by king and queen and made a large fortune before he retired from the stage.

Geneva Always a Refuge.

Religious refugees have always been made welcome at Geneva. and it was there John Knox wrote The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Mon strous Regiment of Women" His com panions in exile were his wife, his motherin-law. and Mrs. Locke. who had left her husband in order to be near him. To these women was vouchsafed the pleasure of hearing Knox read aloud the sentiment: ITO promote a woman to bear rule, su- periority, dominion or empire. above any realm. nation or city. is repugnant 10 Nature. eontumely to God, thing most eontrarious to his approved will, and approved ordinance: and finally 1t is the subversion of all equity and justice"

Heart Needs Care.

Acute heart strain is practically im- possible in the young. healthy and well-nourished adult but quite likely in all others. Once it occurs the heart is incapable of extra work and fails when called upon to do it. The doctor argues. therefore. that one cannot be too careful to economize in the work laid upon this organ.
 According to one physician. he who retlres to bed at ten instead of twelve saves the heart S76. .000 foot pounds a year. Lying down halfhour leesens its labors in the same period by 2l9.- 900 foot pounds. IL our Sundays were spent in bed the yearly relief to our hearts would amount to nearly one million foot pounds.
 He does not venture to even esti- mate the relief that would come were we ;o abstain from violent emotions. especially anger.

A most persuasive scheme has been worked out for travelling. which in- cludes a short Cavalier cape Initial. ly, the design Is destined for light weight navy serge or suiting, although, if any exceptional heat is likely to be encountered a heavyweight navy shantung might be substituted for the serge. As a model. athis is the very essence of praetieability, to which Is added a commendably smart ap- pearance: the lingerie touch intro dueed in the form of white pque col lar, vest and cuffs at once relieves the somberness, and any lining used with the cloak would likewise be white. Although slim in appearance, the underskirt allows perfect freedom, the fuller tunic making for contrast

The hannx Home.

Don't be afraid of a little fun at home Don't shut your house lest the sun should fade your carpets, and your hearts lest a hearty laugh shake down some of the musty old cobwebs there. If you want to ruin your children. let them think that all mirth and social enios ment must be left on the thresh. old without when they come home at night When once a house is regarded as only a place to eat, drink and sleep in, bad work is. indeed. begun.

NOTHING IS REALLY SUDDEN
State of Nerves and Relative Force Of Impact Upon the Senses Is the
 Explanation.

The mind is often said 10 be illumi- mated by a sudden idea, or the will to come to a sudden resolution. The sud denness is P 4t only apparent to the en- locker. 1t is felt by the subject himself. when light seems to flash into his mind, or his will to determine itself on an instant He may talk of inspira- ton, meaning the unrelated act Of some power outside himself Just as we talk of the suddenness of lightning, the suddenness of an earthquake. We imagine earthquakes and lightning flashes as unrelated. Independent hap penings. and forget that every earth quake and every flash Of lightning are manifestations Uf an immutable and slowly working law, and could. had men but knowledge enough, have been 1oretold from the ages.
 Things are sudden only because we do not furesee them. and their sudden ness is no inherent quality in them eelves. it is lent them by our ig- norauce. The striking Of a match may De as sudden as flash Of light ming. and the fall of pin as sudden as pistol shot, but in normal eondi- tioBs they do not make US jump be- cause the conditions are the state of our nerves and the relative force Of the impact upon our senses. A camel falls suddenly under the last straw, but 1t is Che previous slow piling of all the oh suaws that is the cause of his broken back Nothing ts. in reality. more sudden than anything else, it Is from ourselves, fom our lack Of compfa heHsien and preparation .ha. the lightning. the earthquake and .he pistol shot borrow their sudden saaa
