date of Easter Sunday was adopted
by the Council of Nice about 100
years ago-long before western Kan

of. The moon was not a member OF

The poetical name for the moon Is

effect on the human mind. Thus, we
have the words looney and 1unatic.

Effects of Constipation

Constipation causes a stoppage of
the sewerage system of the body The
poisonous refuse matter that should
be carried away is retained in the
system and often poisons the blood
and causes numerous disorders. No
one can afford to neglect his bowels.
A dose of Chamber1ain's Tablets will
afford relief Avoid drastic cathartics
as they take too much water out of
the system and their use is likely to
be followed by constipation.

DEMAND FOR HIPPO TEETH
Buyers Flock to Antwerp Four Times Year to Attend Auction Where
 They Are Sold.

The chief ivory market of the world is in Antwerp, where buyers from everywhere assemble four times year to attend an auction of this material.
 Most of it consists of the tusks of African elephants, but considerable quantities of hippopotamus teeth also figure in the sales. The latter, at an auction a few weeks ago, brought prices all the way from thirty-hve cents to $5 pound, according to quail ty.
 A century ago hippopotamus ivory was much more valuable than 1t Is to- day, because it was the preferred ma terial for artificial human teeth, being very dense and hard. George Wash ington had a set of teeth made of 1t. But nowadays much better ones are manufactured nf porcelain by the mill lion.
 At the recent auction above men, tioned rhinoceros horns brought SIS pound. They are ingeniously carved. mostly for curios. The horn of the rhinoceros, by the way, is one of the oddities of nature, being composed pf closely competed hair.

IT ABOR with what zeal they may, A something still remains for moth- CTS to make for their little ones. but the work Is not much of a task when the matter of material and style are decided on. In materials we find plain chambray, small plaid and checked ginghams, light and dark sateens, dot ted swisses, vOiles, organdies and taf- fetas, all in pretty, live colors (with a spice of black and navy blue) make up the color story as told by the shops; chambrays, ginghams and sa- teens for utility clothes; organdies, swisses and taffetas for special oc- easionS.
 For the small fry, from two to six years old, rompers divide favor with dresses and the latter are provided with bloomers or short pants to match. Nothing is in greater favor than anus ing little peg-top bloomers of plain chambray, in blue, green, light brown or other colors, made with round neck and elbow sleeves. Very simple stitch cry is the usual finish for them. Dresses with bloomers to match are cut either in the smock pattern with small yoke, or with a short bodice and knee-length skirt.

''Stop that I'm no dear child I'm a woman; an this place is mine, even if it is a shack. You get right out O here, the whole kit an caboodle of you"
 Shelby was the first to slide forth through the half-open door, glad enough to escape into the cool night air, his face burning as though on fire, his mind in tumult of emotion. He had no sense of humor left, just an ill-defined feeling of modification and regret. She had been justly indig- nant and he felt profoundly sorry for the part he had played. By heavens ! She was some girl; no mere wishy- washy creature to be laughed at and ignored. He'd like to tell her so. Per haps he would; there would be reac- tion after awhile, when those fellows were all gone. Her burst of anger would die away and she would shed tears of modification. It would be a nice thing then if he could go back there all alone and comfort her; ex- plain how it happened and show her how impossible it was for him to marry.
 He could see the men plainly enough, outlined in the light, as they descended the steps one by one and then faded away in the darkness. They were a disconsolate, discomfited bunch, with downcast faces and silent lips. The preacher and Mccarthy came last. the former still talking, his voice

tT HOSE who have postponed the ac-
 ! Quirement of a spring coat until now, may congratulate themselves that the styles are crystalized and that therefore it is easy to make a choice. Coat styles have gone from good to better and 1t will take captious and hypercritical person to journey far in the displays without growing enthusi- astic over the last offerings of the designers. There are several good, distinct styles to choose from, with those showing the influence of the cape, dominating the season.
 This feature is given prominence in the handsome coat shown at the left of the two illustrated here. The body of the coat is full and hangs straight with ripple at the bottom, in the man. ner of long cape, the sleeves simu- late a shorter cape and the embroi- dery. used for establishment, follows the lines of still shorter cape, or deep cape collar. By these means the de- signer affirms his approval of cape styles in coats and accomplishes a graceful garment. It is of tan-colored

MOST FAMOUS PARIS SQUARE
Place de Ia concorde Enriched by Works of Art of country's Great
 est ScuIptors.

The dreams of many men of genius have gone into the making of the Place de la Concorde, in Paris Ga briel, the architect, constructed the pavilions and balustrades. The eques- trian statue of Louis XV, which stood in the square until the Revolution, was the work of Bouchardon. Pigalle, one of his contemporaries, surround ed this statue with figures emblematic of Strength, Wisdom, Justice and Peace. The square received its pres ent form in 1854 from designs by Hittorf The great statues of the cities were made by four famous French sculptors, each of whom did two figures.
 At the entrance to the Champs Elysees, which forms the western boundary of the place, are the famous "Horses of Marly," by Guillaume Coustou, and at the eastern side at the entrance to the Garden of the Tuileries, are the "Renommees" of Coyzevoz- and Fame be- stride horses.
 In the center rises the obelisk of Rameses II, towering 76 feet, and weighing 24O tons. It is single block of reddish granite, more than 5000 years old, and it once stood before the temple of Amenhotep, near Thebes. It was brought to Paris in 1886.
