Some Odd Sweaters.

A SNOWFALL set" is the latest In
sweater fancies. It consists in cap,
scarf and sweater Of brushed angOra
wool, trimmed on cap, cuffs and scarf
ends with huge balls of white wool.
The scarf is not separate, but is a con-
tinuatiOn of the sweater collar. A
sweater which might with perfect truth
be called a blouse sweater is made of
green wool, with a belt and peplum and
a full blouse sleeve. The collar is
high and a turnover, and buttons on
one side.

Motor Stockings.

Motor stockings of wool, in such col.
ors as blue, gray, green and tan, are
shown for the motor enthusiast who
will not allow even blizzard to keep,
her at home. They pull on over the
shoes, in which hole admits the high
heel Of the shoe to be thrust. When
provided with rosettes in the front, as
they often are, they have the appear
ance of a neat slipper.

FALL PLANTING

Try autumn planting of nursery
stock, including hardy roses, and COM
pare results with stock planted in the

autumn is sure to be stock that is dug
from the fields and not taken from
storage sheds, quite an important ad,

Why a Ship Floats.

No ship should stay on top Of the
water unless that, part of it beneath
the surface displaced as much water
as the ship weighed. If the volume Of
water SO displaced was lighter than
the ship, the latter would sink. 1t is
a principle of nature that lighter things
pass above those of greater weight.

Treatment of House Plants.

Earth for window boxes or potted
plants should be heated in the oven
before using and will save much worry
regarding little bugs and worms.
Spraying plants with a syringe and a
suds of naphtha soap will destroy
plant lice and spiders.

NOT A MATTER OF INTELLECT
Though Not Generally Understood,
Couture" Really Appertains to
the Spirit.

We talk much of culture and get
it mixed up with learning and schol-
arship. 1t may be these things, but
never unless it has another quality,
and that is gentility. Culture is a
matter of the spirit, rather than the
intellect 1t is not as John Galsworthy
says, scientific learning, social method,
and iron discipline, nor the power of
approaching and producing works of
art. Culture belongs to the soul; it
feels more than it thinks. Think of
a mean, grabbed, short-spoken man be-
ing cultured, He is the very opposite
of it. We have seen tall scholars who
could read Greek, solve the calculus
and discuss Spinoza, who were not
as much cultured as a rabbit.
1t is the bad idea of what culture
is that has done lots of harm in the
world Boys are taught that if they
are shrewd and know a lot, they are
cultured. Parents are apt to be proud
of their smart boys, while the gentle
and kindly boys are passed by. There
is more hope for the latter in a life
of strife than for the former, and
the world is better off for their having

MOST DIFFICULT HINDU FEAT
Dancing Girl Balances Eggs on
Threads That Are Stretched From
Rim of Wheel.

OF the many wonderful feats per-
formed by Hindu jugglers, one of the
most remarkable is the egg dance.
Usually it is executed by a girl, fam
tastically dressed She makes use of
willow wheel around which at equal
distances are threads, and at the end
of each thread there is moose, held
open by a bead.
This wheel the girl places on her
head, while she carries a basket of
eggs on her arm When the music
strikes up she begins to dance, and
the wheel begins to spin around. She
then takes an egg from the basket,
places it in one of the thread nooses,
and throws it from her with sufficient
force to draw the knot tight. The
spinning of the wheel keeps the thread
stretched, with the egg at the end of
it.
She then takes another egg from
the basket, places it in another moose,
and repeats this until there is an egg
in every moose. Her fantastic costume,
her perfect motion, and all the eggs
swinging on stretched threads at once
present curious sight.
1t requires much art to execute the
dance, for one false step would cause
the eggs to be dashed together and
the dancer to be disgraced.
After dancing for some time with
all the eggs swinging around her head,
she takes them out of the moose one
by one, all the time keeping the wheel
balanced and in motion, and again
places them in the basket on her arm.
After the performance the specta-
tors are allowed to examine the eggs
to see that they are real-Ideas.

The Arms of GLASGOW.

The explanation of the coat of arms
of Glasgow is curious. On it an oak
tree with a bell hanging on one of its
branches, a bird at the top af the
tree, and a salmon, with a ring in its
mouth, at the base ST. Kentigern, in
the seventh century, took up his
abode on the site of the present city
of Glasgow. Upon an oak in the clear
ing he hung a bell to summon the saw
ages to worship, hence the oak and
bell. A queen, having formed an at
tachment to a soldier, gave him a
precious ring, which the king had
given her. The king, aware of the
fact, stole upon the soldier In sleep,
distracted the ring, threw it into the
Clyde, and then asked the queen for
it The queen, in alarm, applied to
st. Kentigern, who went to the Clyde,
caught a salmon with the ring in its
mouth, handed it to the queen, and
was thus the means of restoring peace
to the royal couple

Value of Cheeriness-

Who can estimate the medicinal
power of one cheerful life in the home
of one serene, balanced soul?
The workman who rejoices in his
work and laughs away his discomfort
is the man who is sure to rise, for it
is what we do easily and what we like
to do that we do we'll
The most of US make our backs
ache carrying useless, foolish burdens.
We carry luggage and rubbish that
are of no earthly use but which sap
our strength and keep us jaded and
tired to no purpose. If we could only
learn to hold on to the things worth
while, and drop the rubbish-letting
go the useless, the foolish, the silly,
the hamperers, and the things that
hinder-we should not only make
progress, but we should also keep
happy and harmonious

Where tn e instrument S
made payable at bank it is
equivalent to an order to the
bank to pay the same for the
account of the principal debtor
thereon.
That is, if a person signs a
note in favor of another person
(or firm or organization and
makes it payable at the bank
where he keeps his account, the
holder of the note may present
it at the bank named on due
date and if the person who sign
ed the note has sufficient funds
and has not given a stop pay
ment order the bank must pay
the note and charge it to his (the
signer's account), and it is not
required to obtain his consent
before doing so.
Where the instrument con-
tains or the person adds to his
signature words indicating that
he signs for or on behalf of a
principal, or in a representative
capacity, he is not liable on the
instrument if he was duly
authorized, but the more addi-
tions of words describing him as
agent, or as filling representa-
tive character, without disclosing
his principal, does not exempt
him from personal liability"
A bona fide agent or represen-
tative is not personally liable on
an instrument he signs, but if a
person signs as agent in an at
tempt to evade personal liability
and can not prove that he signed
for a principal ind er due
authority, he is personally liable.
Where an instrument con-
tanning the words I promise to
pay is signed by two or more
persons, they are deemed to be
jointly and severally liable there
on.
AN accommodation party is
one who has signed the instru-
ment as maker, drawer, acceptor
or endorser, without receiving
value therefor, and for the pur-
pose of lending his name to some
other person. Such person is
liable on the instrument to a |
holder for value, notwithstand-
ing such holder at the time of
taking the instrument knew him
to be only an accommodation |
party"
Where there is a conflict be-
tween the written and printed
provisions of the instrument the
written provision prevail. "
Where the sum payable is ex-
pressed in words and also in
figures and there is a discrepancy
between the two the sum denoted
by the words is the sum payable,
but if the words are ambiguous
or uncertain reference may be
had to the figures to fix the
amount. "-Yazoo Sentinel.
