Smart k Silberbers STORES, C renter and greater grows lie popularity of Hi in Store. April Just pawed was the largest month of our history. The reason Is we li reet all our energy to giving our trade all that they are entitled to. ' Of Undoubted Merit Our silk business has grown to euoruiou proportions iu recent years, nod it is ruaiuly because wo pive such excellent values. Every yard of Silk we sell we stand back of. We reourameud it, so if it don't wear we'll make it good. At 39 eenls, several hundred yards of Chiffon Tatfotas in many of the choicest colorings, both plain and changeable. At tho same price, several hundred yards of Printed Foulards tn navy, brown, grceu and black ground with small, neat white figures. At 75 cents, a handsome new assortment of the choicest green shades io Satin Mesalaino, the most popular of all tho silk materials used for Shirt Waist Suits rud Gowns. The quality of this material is superb a rich, soft, lustrous, clingy weave, and the price at which they were made to sell is a quarter a yard more than we are asking for them. Shades of green are exceedingly scarce and popular, but by a lucky chauce we secured this lot and, let us add, we never saw any prettier. Handsome Silk Oraandies Aiiy, fairy, diaphanous and exquisite. Every one who sees them mar vels at their exceeding beauty, and the best part of it is they're only 23 cents u yard. It's surprising, but the secret is they're the product ol Yaukee int'cuuity and brains. If they were from the land of France (and you can't tell the difference) these same goods would cost you three times the price asked. 200 Ready-to-Wear Hats at $2.00 200 very pretty, stylish Hats, all ready trimmed, ready to put on and wear, many are worth more tjiaa double, this price.

Tliey believed the enrlh to be a square divided Into four purts imd suspended from the heavens by four cords one at each of tho four corners. All of their cities were quartered by four principal streets running from u square lu the center. Thoy held four annual feasts In honor of tho moon, the "silver sister of the sun." To them eternity was to be divided Into four periods of time, each com posed of four times 4,000 years, and at the end of each of these cycles the sun is to be blotted out of existence. They prayed to the four winds, or to "ye gods that dwell at the four corners of tho earth." To them the rains came from four enormous heavenly turtles that vomited dampness, anil the four winds from the Iiiiik of the four gi gantic caryatides which stand at the four cardinal points of pnradlso. The alovc are but u kiiiiiII portion of the fours alluded to In the legends of the I ik as. . An Aatrlnpo That Dwell la Hwnmpa.

These swamp antelopes are by no means small animals, but belong to the larger forms of tlielr species. A full grown male Is as big as the buck of the fallow deer lu Virginia. Fnulta In Conversation. Dean Swift once said: "There are two faults In conversation which tip pear very different, yet arise from the same root and nre equally bllinmble. I mean nu Impatience to Interrupt oth ers and the uneasiness of being In terrupted ourselves. The two chief ends of conversation nre to entertain and improve those we are among or to receive those benefits ourselves, which whoever will consider cannot possibly run Into either of those two errors, be cause when uny man speaketh In com pany It Is to be supposed he doth It for his hearers' sake anil not his own, so that common discretion will tench us not to force their attention If they nre not willing to lend It, nor, on the other side, to Interrupt him who Is In possession, because that Is lu the grossest manner to give the preference to our own good sense." Orlfrln of Vaudeville. The word "vaudeville," which now means n play In which songs are Intro duced, Is n corruption of A mix do ire, the names of two valleys in Normandy. A fuller In Vire, In the fifteenth cen tury, composed sonic humorous niid satirical drinking songs, which were very popular throughout Trance, under the name of their native place, uux de Vire." The terms seem to huve been corrupted Into volx de villi'. A collection of songs wns published at Lyons In l.'lil entitled "Chansons Volx de Vllle," and another at Tails In ir70 culled "Ileeuell des I'lns Holies Clinn sous en Forme des Volx do Vllle."
