The Back of a Glove. The meaning of the three marks on the back of a glove and the clocks on a stocking wore two of the little mys teries of dress explained at a lecture on clothes in London. The lecturer said that the three marks 011 the back of a glove correspond to the foorchette pieces between the lingers, and in old en days these pieces wero continued along the back of the hand, braid he- I ing used to conceal the seams. A j somewhat similar origin was asslgn | ed to the ornamental clock on the stocking. In the days when stockings were made of cloth the seams came where the clocks do now, the orna mentation then being used to hide the j seams. The useless little bow in the I leather band lining a man's hat is a I survival of the time when it hat was j made bv taking a piece of leather, bor ing two holes through it and drawing I it up with a piece of string. Fashions In Borneo. According to the rules of IJorneoan fashion it is deemed necessary to mold one's limbs into a more shapely form I than that bestowed by nature. This is done really effectively by winding strong brass wire round the ankles, the I wrists, under the knees and above the | elbows of children. Growth at these points is, in consequence, greatly ham pered. with the result that the limbs come to be deformed or, according to Dyak ideas, brought into proper shape, j The headdress consists of a curious j head work cap, and around his neck a j bridegroom to be wears bangles of ! plaited fiber and strings of cowrie shells. These shells, by the way, its in other parts of the world, are used as currency. A yard of fiber or twenty to thirty cowrie shells represent the value of a penny. The white armlets are made of another species of shells. —Wide World Magazine. What a Toad Enjoys.

In (he northern hemisphere Argelander has registered .'KM .000 stars down to the nine and a half magnitude, and with !ii • aid of t!n> liest photometric data Agnes M. ClerU's "System of the Stars" gives the stun of tiie light, of these northern stars as equivalent to • 1-440 of full moonlight, while the total light nf all stars similarly enumerated in both hemispheres, to the number of about 900,000, is roughly placed at 1-180 of the lunar brightness. The scattered light of still fainter celestial bodies is difficult to compute. By a photographic method Sir William Ab : bey rated the total starlight of both hemispheres at 1-100 of full moonlight, and Proi'essor \ew« >mib from visual observations of al! stars at just 7~S times that of Cai • i. or 1-S!) of tile light of the full 111001 It is not certain, however, that the sky would be totally dark if all stars were blotted out. Certain processes make tho upper atmosphere strongly luminous at times, and we cannot lie sure that this light would be totally absent.— Harper's Weekly. A Dutch Fishing Fleet. I If the traveler wants to get a re;.! glimpse of picturesque Holland, a glimpse which shall long be a happy memory, let him journey to the old lisliing village of Selieveningen, not far from The Hague. Its fishing fleet is an imposing one and is best seen tit night, when the boats are drawn up on the beach. Each lias a number, and these are painted on the sides in such large figures that they can be read at a considerable distance. At night when the fishermen begin to come to land the women of the village walk down to the beach with their knitting in their hands to meet them. They I wear tlielr wooden shoos, some of 1 which are made to look especially i clean by an application of whiting, and j they make a merry clatter as they go. Industry is characteristic of the wom -1 en of Holland in all walks of life, j They must always be at work of some j kind, and it would seem as if more I knitting needles must be used in ilol i land than in any other country in the j j world.—E.

"The talkativeness of barbers long lias beeu the subject for puns and jokes," said a barber. "I bad always fancied the matter one of recent origin until the other day. You kuow in my profession we have a great deal of spare time. Well, the other day 1 was sitting on the bench waiting for the shaves and hair cuts to come in and to while away the time was glancing through a copy of Plutarch's 'Arehe laus.' Imagine tuy consternation when I happened on a line reading: "'A prating barber asked Arehelaus how he would be trimmed. He an swered, "In silence."' "Well, that got me. I never knew I they even had barbers that long ago. | I always supposed the ancients let ; their whiskers grow and that they | wore curly locks as long as their to ! gas, but it seems that the barber is ! an ancient relic and that liis talking proclivities are a matter of history.

That there is anything genial, cheer ing or therapeutically valuable about superstition may seem a tall state ment. The adjective generally associ- I ated with it is "dark." On the" 1 con trary, there is something very bright ening about a four leaf clover. Who is not a little more of an optimist for picking up a horseshoe? What lone ly farmer's wife, stormbound on a , winter afternoon, with unwelcome lei sure on her hands, but feels a little quickening of the pulse as she drops her scissors and beholds them sticking up in the carpet or discovers that she has laid an extra place at the table? i Company signs are the commonest and i welcomed of all superstitions. The scissors, the needle, the dishcloth, the fork, the Saturday sneeze, all inculcate hospitality and reward it by an unex pected visitor. If the needle slants as it stands up in the crack of the floor I it foretells a gentleman. Uuu, young | daughters of the house, aud put a j blue bow iu your hair! Atlantic ! Monthly. Working It Out.
