The astronomical clock which adorns
this cathedral is the most celebrated

a cock. At the stroke of every hour

That very graceful garment. the long
tunic. which appeared and took the
world of fashion by storm late last
summer. is with us again. Sometimes
1t is an overdress as long as the under
skirt, but often 1t hardly differs at all
from the tunic of last season. The
skirt under it has grown wider, al
though it is often considerably mar
rover than the tunic. But it may be
equally wide. and in either case is
good style.
One need only to examine the gown
Of embroidered voile shown here to
appreciate the charming outlines of
the tunic skirt and to realize that a
gown put together on such good lines
Is something more than merely fash
tonable. The style Is SO pleasing that
1t has lasting qualities. The bodice
Is cut on simple and graceful lines
also. This is model that might be
safely chosen for gown of handsome
lace, with the expectation that little
change need be made in it from season

manufactured In an endless variety Of
embroidered patterns.
The unde-skirt, in the dress pic
tured, Is fitted about the hips and cut
with a moderate fare. 1t Is finished
with three-inch hem. The tunic is
fitted to the figure by means Of tucks,
graduated in length and extending be-
low the hips. They are shorter at the

front, and this slight dip is repeated in
the bodice.
The bodice is cut like plain blouse,
with the fullness gathered In at. the
bottom and confined under a girdle

fits the figure vaguely like short
jacket. The neck is finished with
turnover collar of lace, and the same
lace Is used for the puffs and frills
about the sleeves.
A silk scarf tie finishes the dressing
Of the neck. This design Is one that
seems as well suited to the matron as
to the maid, and nothing prettier can
be found for graduation gowns or for
the useful white dress for midsummer.

intelligence Of the Beaver.

The life history Of the beaver dis
closes a succession of episodes in
each of which a reasoning faculty is
employed. Unlike other animals. the
beavers intelligence consists not oniv
in doing the same things over and
over again, but in the ability to deal
understandingly with novel situations
Certain Of It's actions probably arise
from the same instinct that governs
the rest of the lower animals, tut the
orderly sequence In which they are
performed leads many to believe that

Encouragement to an enemy.
An interesting feature OF Strassburg
is the great number of storks which
build their huge nests on the chimr
ney pots. Oddly enough, thess birds
never seem to establish themselves
for breeding purposes anywhere ex-
cept on human dwellings. Nobody
would ever think of disturbing them
In. any way. On the contrary. house
holder thinks it a great sign of good
luck if stork picks out his roof top
for a nest. 1t is very curious TO see
them teach their young to fly.
Toward the end of August all the
storks start OF the same day south
ward, bound for their winter quarters
in Africa. In March they return, pre-
ceded week or SO by a single stork
pioneer, and their arrival is always
hailed with joy. Apparently they In
variably take up the same nests year

Strassburg marks the locality where
the River Ill divides into Ave
branches. 1t has 125,00O inha bitants,
and the old part of the town is most
interesting to the sightseer, some ct
the houses in narrow streets (dat-
Ing back to the middle ages) being
embellished with wonderful wood carv-
ing. The city is connected with the
Rhine 1.-TWO miles to the east) by
canals. It is center of high roads
between Germany, France and Swftzer-
land and at the junction of other
canals which connect the Rhine with
the Marne, and the Rhone with the
Rhine. The place Is the seat Of the
imperial governor Of Alsace-Lorraine,
and the headquarters of the Fifteenth
corps.
Like Metz, Strassburg was In
former days governed by a prince
bishop. But in the thirteenth century
the then German emperor made 1t q
free city. II had at that time $4,000
inhabitants-a population deemed
huge-and, being very important
trade center, 1t was already rich and
prosperous. Then it was that the
principal facade of the great cathedral
was built.

tary signaling station in the immedi-
ate vicinity, which drew the shell fire
of the Prussians. AS result, the
magnificent splre was torn from top
to bottom. and one projectile, grazing
the cross on the top, bent it sidewise.
This happened on the Gath day of
August.
No sooner was the war at an
end. however. than the Germans set
about the business of repairing the
damage thus inflicted. The task oc-
cupied ten years, being not completed
until 1880.
