cossipina In Public.


One of the most common habits that
is reprehensible is that of discussing
personal affairs In public. They may
be your own affairs or they may be
matters that concern others. At any
rate, they should not be discussed In
the hearing of strangers.
The Withholding Of names is no ex-
cuse. Very frequently a listener has
been able to follow a conversation and
to know perfectly the ones under dis
cussion. Women who have the habit
of. talking in this way in public seem
to think that no one knows anything
but themselves.
Street cars. railroad trains, elevators,
restaurants and the promenade where
there are crowds are places where the
conversation should be restrained.
Keep your gossip if you must indulge
In this evil practice for your own
home.
Even then it will probably be repeat
ed with a different accent and given
a different Interpretation. Generally
speaking, gossip brings a punishment
on the one who is responsible for 1t
as well as working incalculable harm.

Bohemian Supper.

The invitations to a Bohemian supper
are supposed to go to only ones most
intimate friends and those who are
talented, for people who can do
things to entertain others are always
in demand.
For the true Bohemian supper one
must be the possessor of enough indi-
vidual chatting dishes. silver, copper or
aluminium to go around. for each guest
may choose and prepare his or her own
special dainty undisturbed when the
spirit moves and while the entertain
ment progresses. If n has not a
large stock they can always be rented
for the occasion.
The lights are all yellow shaded, the
flowers are yellow and those in season
that are most decorative. Each chatting
dish outfit is ON its tray. The hostess
presides over one large dish, which
contains usually her favorite lobster
a la Newburg, and many guests prefer
1t to making a dish for themselves.
On the sideboard should be ingre-
dents for a number of dishes. These
may include mushrooms, sweetbreads,
minced chicken. oysters, CLAIMS, lob
sters and other well known founda-
tons, with sauce accomplishments
known to international cookery. In
the center of the table is the revolving
relish dish, surrounded by crackers,
cheeses and various breads.
National drinks that go with the edi-
bles are in evidence. The final thing
to be served is the Turkish coffee with
its spiced and burning brandy, and 1t
is accompanied by Turkish candy,
which is generally partaken Of by all
present.

WOOD AND METAL AND MUSIC.
A Theory Born of the Patter of the
Raindrops on the Root.

- Theory Born OF the Patter OF the
Raindrops on the Roof.
Since Mittelburger. the German mu.
sician, while sleeping under a roof of
cedar shingles in Philadelphia. in 1854.
was entranced with the pro
duced by raindrops falling on the shin
giles, until the present time, wood has
held an indisputable place In the man
ufacture of musical instruments. Nit
telburger's first work under his theory
that wood was more musical than
metal was when he built a pipe organ
the first in America-with the pipes
of southern white cedar, the same
wood which had charmed his ear while
he listened to the rain or the roof.
The superlative quality of spruce as
material for sounding boards is due to
the long, straight, regular fibers of
which the wood is composed. The mi
croscope reveals what the unaided eye
cannot see The minute cells forming
the wood are extremely long-full one
hundred times as long as their diam
eter measurement-and each cell or
fiber is stretched like a taut string
Although these cells. all lying length
wise of the wood. are packed and
stretched closely. side by side. there
is room for vibration when they are
struck.
All woods possess this quality or
resonance. but In vastly different de-
grees. Some are dull and nearly dead,
others emit tones quick and sharp.
and still others give out sounds that
continue a long time and gradually die
away as IL vanishing In the distance.
Spruce is Of the latter kind.
Wood possesses resonance. metal has
ring. That may not wholly conform
to dictionary definitions, but 1t classi-
f1es the two materials pretty accurate
ly. The singing of a tightly stretched
telephone wire across an open field in
the autumn wind Is a most pleasing
melody to one who has an ear for the
delicacy OF the simpler sounds. But
how much softer and melodious that
singing wire becomes If the ear is
pressed against the telephone pole so
hal the vibrations come through the
wood to reach the ear, instead of d.
rectly from the wire.-Hardwood Rec

" With the advent of cool weather many churches are
planning a revival of the GO TO CHURCH movement
which got such an suspicious start in the spring. During the heat

ministers of the gospel all over the country are seeking to re-
awaken the public to a sense of their spiritual obligations.

Now that the clergymen have the people GOING TO

make the services attractive. They should make their sermons

THERE is NO DENYING THE FACT THAT A MAN WHO GOES

MIND. IF HE Is A BUSINESS MAN HIS NEIoHBoRs WILL PAT

He IS AN EMPLOYEE HIS EMPLOYERS HAVE FAITH IN HIM

APPARENT REASONS WHY GOING TO CHURCH IS BENEFICIAL
THAT IT SEEMS suPERFLuous TO ENuMERATE THEM.

EXPLAINS GROWTH OF SEEDS
English Scientist Has Discovered
That carbonic Acid Gas Keeps
Them From Sproutlne.

Why seeds should not sprout while
maturing. and why they should lie
dormant long periods Of time. are
questions that occur to few who &C.
cept natures ways as a matter Of
course.
But there must be some restraining
cause to prevent growth in seeds, and
Franklin Kidd, Fellow of St. John
college, Cambridge reports in the pro-
ceedinss of the Royal society that it
is carbonic acid gas.

which tha gas generates. 1t will
sprout before 1t is ripe; 1t will sprout
il the high partial pressure Of carbon
dioxide In the atmosphere be removed.
High temperatures remove these pres
sures. hence seeds terminate best
in warm weather.
The arrested development, Mr.. Kidd
finds. is not due to lack of moisture.
but solely to the narcotic effect of the
carbon dioxide.
Planters who would hasten the
sprouting process should increase the
temperature of seeds and submit them
to the pressures Of oxygen.

NtCKWEAR OF THE MOMENT
Styles Are as Pretty az Those OF the
Summer, Though Materials
Are Different.

Just as last summer the lovely
touch Of white neckwear was organdie
and lawn. so now 1t is of cream net
and lace in the finer costumes, and of
pique in those dresses that smack Of
the tabernacle.
There Is less wiring of the collars
to make them stand up, as the necks
are higher as far as decollete Is con-
cerned; they can, however, be lightly
wired If they are more becoming.
Fine venise. applique and point laces
are noted in the collars Of the new
dress models, and there is always
enough net added to the neck decora-
ton to keep the lace from looking too
hard against the skin.
Some Of the lace guimpes are Of
embroidered net Of the applique type
Of lace. and they finish at the top
with q round neck that does not come
quite up to the base Of the throat.

A PRECIOUS CARGO
BY GEORGE HUNSoN.

There she is, sir" exclaimed
Lieutenant Bingham, pointing into the
distance.
Lieutenant Adams, his senior, com.
handing the torpedoboat Spitfire,
looked through his glasses toward
the horizon. where a tiny wisp Of
curling smoke denoted the presence
Of the Kronprinz.
The Kronprinz had sailed from
New York four days before. carrying
q few passengers who we're resolved
to risk capture at the hands OF the
British fleet. cargo, mostly contra
band. two million dollars in gold, and
Miss Frances Lowell of Bangor
This last item was confirmed news.
Lieutenant Adams had written to his
American sweetheart, warning her
not to attempt the journey owing to
the imminent outbreak of war: but
she had not received the letter, and
had considered the newspaper prog
nostications ridiculous. She was bent
on completing her art course in Eng.
land. When it was completed she was
to become Adams bride.
There was no reason why Miss
Lowell should study art in order to
become the wife of lieutenant with
nothing but his pay; still, Lieutenant
Adams never thought OF opposing his
sweetheart's wishes He learned that
she was to sail on the Kronprinz a
day before his squadron put to sea.
with orders to clear the Atlantic.
The kronprinz, as a treasure ship,
was especially desired by the British
admiralty. Adams orders were strict;

been looking forward to their reunion,
and had urged her to take a British
ship. And she had sailed on a Ger
man.
The battle was over. With a firm
expression upon his face Adams took
up the speaking tube. He knew that
Bingham was waiting at the other
end, that the first word would send
the torpedo hurting upon her deadly
passage of destruction.
But before his hand was on the tube
he heard a singing in his ears. a
roaring over the sea which caused
him momentarily to postpone giving
the order. Something unexpected
had occurred Next instant he knew
what 1t was. He heard the screech
of the shell from the converted liner,
the following boom Of the cannon:
and then everything was fire and
smoke and splinters.
The next thing Of which he became
aware was water around and about
him. Stunned by the conclusion. he

amidships. rending her and sending
her to the bottom.
With groan Adams closed his eyes
and resigned himself to the embrace
of the icy waters. And that was his
last remembrance until a long time
after.
He awakened in the Plymouth hos
pital. The first face to meet his eyes
was that of bingham, seated at his
bedside
The sub-lieutenant stretched out his
hand and clasped Adams's firmly.

PLAIN LINEN FOR THE TABLE
Admittedly II Has Some Real
Disadvantages.

Plain heavy linen makes very attrac-
tive table cloths and napkins. 1t is
used in a restaurant where the fur
nishings are all interesting, and it is
used by some fastidious housewives.
In the restaurant it is quite satisfac-
tory. for every diner But in the or
binary household it has this one dis
advantage. 1t does show wrinkles and
spots more quickly than a heavy fig
ured damask does. So IL there is not a
fresh cloth for every meal, damask
may be better choice.
But the linen is beautiful, and In any
household it might DO used for Q spe-
cial dinner set. The napkins and
table cloth may be finished with fine
embroidery stitch, or like the ordinary
napkin hem, finely done by hand. or
else they are hemstitched In an inch
