"HE world in general has taken
to rolling SO rapidly of late that
one has to rush and scurry in a
wild effort to keep up with it. And,
as for the world of fashions-every-
one knows that it speeds along with
such a rapid succession of styles and
materials as to be trifle. breath
taking. Those of us who daily visit
the shops sometimes wonder how
the designers can keep on evolving
so many new and clever. garments.
That question was uppermost in my
mind to-day as gazed at an

A N interior decorator. famed
~ throughout the entire coun-
try for her skillful and artistic
work. was a recent guest at an Oak
Lane home. Her host, a lover of
the antique, had many beautiful,
specimens of genuine old furniture
scattered throughout the house.
One piece, a Hepplewhite table. ex-
cited the admiration of the talented
guest, who said she had never seen
a loyelier example of the period.
Now, 1t so happens that that partic-
ular table was purchased at Saltz-
giver's Art and Antique Store, 223
North Second street, when the own
er resided in this city, some years
ago. And to-day. just as at that
time, Mi. Saltzgiver carries nurner-
GUS solid mahogany Hepplewhite,
Sheraton and Empire tables, all
genuine antiques.

WELL EQUIPPED BY NATURE
Simple Explanation of Remarkable
Sense of Hearing That 10 Pos
sessed by the Owl.

1t is held by naturalists that TN
order to capture it's prey the owl
must depend even more upon it's sense
of hearing than upon its sense OF
sight The tufts of feathers that diE-
tinguish the short-eared and the long
cared owls are, of course, no more
ears than they are horns. The true
ear of the owl Is a most remarkable
organ.
The facial disk Of feathers that
gives the owl it's characteristic ap-
pearance serves as a kind of sound
ing-board or ear-trumpet to concen-
trate the slightest sounds and to trans
NIT them to the Orifice of the true
ear, concealed in the small feathers
behind the eye. Even in the barn
owl which possesses the least COM
plicated arrangement Of this kind, the
orifice of the ear is covered by re
markable flap of the skin, while in the
other species there are striking DIFF
ferences in the size and shape of this
orifice and it's covering flap on the two
sides of the head.
The exact way in which owls utilize
this deliberately specialized apparatus
has still to be discovered.

Water In Wood.

All wood contains more or less Wa
ter; even the driest wood known con-
tains two or three pounds Of water to
every 100 pounds Of weight. Absolute
ly dry wood is unknown, for the heat
needed to obtain it would dissolve the
wood and convert 1t into gas and
charcoal.
A Swiss authority on the character
istics of wood believes that a suffl-
GENTLY powerful and perfect micro
scope would show that the ultimate
wood cell is composed Of crystals like
grains of sugar or salt and that thin
films of water hold the crystals apart.
yet bind them into mass.
A good microscope shows the wood
cell and reveals it's spiral bandageS
and it's openings and cavities, but NO
instrument yet made reveals the ult-
mate crystals that, as many believe.
do exist and that would explain why
water cannot be expelled from wood
without destroying the wood ITSELF

ColIouuiaiisms.

The dictionary will tell you that
"Ain't itY' is a barbarism and that
"ain't" is solely a colloquialism for
"am not" and "are not" and quite
illiterate in its indication of the speak
er's status. But the Latin language,
which though dead is not yet buried,
has the phrase "Anne," which means
as it not?' and the French, which
roughly writing is monkish Latin, had
in the days of Francois Villon, the &C
knowledged founder of modern French
literature, the verbalism "Enne""
which is the precise equivalent Of
"Ain't it?" Now, this delicious scape-
grace of the times of Joan Of Arc, i'm
his unique and celebrated Greater
Testament" characterizes "Isabeau,"
one of his numerous flames, as distin-
guishabe for constantly using this
query "Enne?" SO all these cOllOquial-
isms which the pedagogues and the
photographers so profoundly reject
have fair foundations in usage. 1t
ought to be remembered that Villon's
works at the very dawn of printing
ran through seven editions, "donyou-
chno?"

Justice TO Franklin.

Philadelphians love to set forth the
fact that there were written two OF
the most notable literary achievements
of the world, the Declaration of hide
pendence and the Constitution of the
United States, both of them remark
able for fine literary quality, for pre-
cision of statement, for lucid presenta~
ton of facts, for logical arrangement.
But it is possible, SO it has been
unkindly suggested, that they do NOT
always remember that neither of these
important productions was written by
a Philadelphia. But to anyone who
may make a suggestion it may with
justice be said that the "Aufo-
biography of Franklin, one of the
few great autobiographies of tia
world, was written by a Philadelphtan-
and also his poor Richard" and Other
world-famous works.

Peanuts for Wedding Breakfast.

little of interest would occur in the
small place in which she lived. But
the first night was far from dull.
Her father is a minister, and at 2
O'Clock a. M. he was aroused and
asked to perform a marriage service.
NV friend and | were called as wit
nesses. Although the electric power
had been shut off at midnight, candles
threw sufficient light on the situation
so that we knew it was an elopement.
The license had been procured in an
adjoining county.
