That Fashion Authorities Approve Of.
In fashionable equipment our Neck Furs, Muffs and Fur
Sets are equal to all demands. Judging from the many ex
pressions of delight heard daily from store visitors, and from the
rapidly increasing volume of sales, it is obvious that the views
of well informed women are quite in accord with those that
governed the selection of the stock. When you view the sur
passing new varieties you will require no words from us to em
phasize the wisdom of an early choice here either for personal
use or for Christmas gift purposes.

Superb Selection of Holiday Hand
kerchiefs. A chain without weak link is our line of Holiday Hand
kerchiefs at 10c, 12c, 15c and 25c. We have over 500 styles
and what is more to the point the quality of each is pure linen.
Not a cotton handkerchief will be given room in our assortment.
We realize that nothing is more unsatisfactory than a cotton
"kerchief," therefore we have tabooed them. No matter what
price you pay for a Handkerchief make up your mind it is linen
pure linen.

Montaigne Hnna on Anything.
V1kmi I read Montaigne or Wonls-f.-ortU
or Luudor I am ulways remlnd
id of the ndvlce which the Imscbnir
oonrlier on the side linos so often re
pents to the men on buses, "Hun on
iiiiythlUK!" Kacli one of these worthies,
to continue the parlance of the ball
Held, aeoet.its all his chances. If Words
worth never piTt to the world "Lines
pujrj-osted by Seeing a Favorite Cat
Crossing the Komi" It was simply be
cause that spectacle never chanced to
arrest his "inward eye." If Montuigne
never meditated, as did another cele
brated author, on producing a chapter
ii bout "Kuttonholes" such reticence was
lot In any degree owing to barrenness
i s concerned that or any other known
topic. And had lie attempted It he
would perchance have begun with shoe
strings, wandered on to darning nee
dles and pruning books, ipioted u doz
en or so of Latin authors in regard to
plowshares, related anecdotes concern
ing dealings of the Cyiubrlans, Scyth
ians, Lacedaemonians, Romans and the
like with knots and fastenings, men
tioned Ills own personal experience In
the matter of hooks and eyes and end
ed by nu exposition of the practical,
lucckiiiical and ethical relations be
tween a buttonhole and a button, and
every qtinlut and divaricating line
would have endeared him to his affec
tionate reader. Martha Baker Dunn In

V writer in the Loudon Outlook
points out that no birds cross deep,
even If narrow, seas. The narrow Mad
agascar strait is impassable .to birds,
though the north seas are a highway
for them. (Sod wits p'iss from the Nile
to the shores of Norfolk, though neigh
boring Islands in an archipelago may
show no common Rtook. All birds, with
the possible exception of the sparrow,
are stirred to movement by different
causes wind, weather, food, the bully-
ng of parent and other birds. l'lrds
of prey drive off their young. Martins
love familiar eaves. Successive raveus
have built on the same ledge for a cen
tury. The longer passages are only
made over shallow seas that once were
land, and when once a journey Is made
the memory is strong enou,ili to urge
a repetition. The change of home then
becomes not a fashion, but an Inherit
ed habit.
Girl Slurps) In China.
A native writer in a Chinese publica
tion remarks: "Wheu a girl is sold in
China she becomes the slave of her
owner nud u part of his property. She
no lou.wr retains her freedom rights,
but surrenders them all to the will of
those who own her. She twelves no
compensation for her labor, but is
obliged to accept such raiment nud
food us her owner may be pleased to
give her. In cases of tyranny or gross
cruelty she cauuot appeal for redress.
She may le resold, given away or cast
off in the streets at the arbitrary will
of her master. All freedom Is denied
her, and she remains a tool and chat
tel in the hands of her owner until she
Is sold again or until death releases
her from her unwilling fate."
The Black Miirla.
'T.lack Maria" is a familiar term,
with an origin more or less mysterious.
It has been suggested that "Maria"
really represents the old word "mari
nated," whhji meant transported or
"married," a slang expression formerly
applied to persons chained or hand
cuffed together on the way to Jail. But
more attractive is the story that In
the old colonial days n gigantic and
brawny negress kept a sailors' board
ing house at Boston and frequently lent
her strength to the cause of law and
order. Ouce she took three sailors to
the lockup uuassisted. "Scud for Black
Maria," It Is said, became n regular
way of hinting tbnt a man ought to be
Jailed.
One Fng-linli Sent.
The parish council of Uudgwick, Sus
sex, England, possesses an official seal
in which the occupations of all the
members are indicated. Thus the vicar
is represented by an open Bible, the
farmer by some trees, the coal denier
by a sack, the miller by a mill, the inn
keeper by n bottle and jug, the boot
maker by a boot, the auctioneer by a
hammer, the doctor by a medicine bot
tle, the carpenter by a plane and the
baker by a loaf.
The Violin.
Each instrument excels In some par
ticular passage, tbe plauo in scale pas
sages, the harp In arpeggio, the man
dolin in the rapid repetition of one
note, the banjo in the rapid playing of
broken chords, and so with other In
struments; but the violin can beat them
nil on their own ground, while there
is much violin music that can be played
In no other instrument.
An Optimist.
"Blank started out to be a rose spe

How Emery la Qnnrrled.
Emery comes from the Island of
Nazos, In the eastern Mediterranean,
whence It has beeu exported for the
last two centuries or more. The beds
are In the northeast of the island, the
deposit descending Into some of the
neighboring islands, the emery being
fouud in lenticular uinsses, resting ou
layers of schist in limestone, almost
Identical with Parian marble, the 11 li
es t marble known, which conies from
the island of Faros, close by. There
are about 300 men engaged in . the
trade, all of whom have to lie married
before they are admitted to the fra
ternity. The material Is much too hard
lo be dug out or oven blasted. Great
tires are lighted round the blocks till
the uaturnl cracks expand with the
hent, and levers are then Inserted to
pry them apart.
This system Is continued until the
blocks nre reduced In si:;e to masses of
a cubic foot or less, and they are. then
shipped us If they were coals. There
are said to be 20.000.1MK) tons yet avail
able at Nnxos. It is one of the hard
est substances yet known, coming ner.t
to the diamond, and among Its crystal
line forms known to the Jewelers nre
the ruby ond the sapphire.
Mchtlnir a ripe.
A smoker who started to light his
pipe on the street turned to his com
panion and said: "A mau told me the
other day how to light an ordinary
mutch In a high wind. Let me show
you."
There was n stiff breeze blowing.
The demonstrator took from his pocket
an envelope, struck a parlor match on
a rail and shielded It Inside of the en
velope, facing the wind ns he did ro.
The match burned with hardly u flick
er, nud the mnn who held It puffed oil
his pipe with great satisfaction.
"That's a trick worth knowing." he
remarked. "Here's another. Some
times you get n spark on top of your
pipe which the most vigorous pulling
falls to spread over the surface of the
tobneco. In that case tnke a piece of
paper of almost any kind and hold It
down iu the spark. This will spread
the fire and give you the sort of light
a pipe smoker wants." Providence
Journal.
Raklnar Gnu After Mowing-.
Some persons advise raking nfter
each mowing. I do not, because the
clippings drop down Into the grass nud
form a mulch, which I consider of
great benellt. They also help to fer
tilize the soil. The lawn that is uot
mowed often enough will not look well
after you have been over It with the
mower, because there was growth
enough to partially hide the sward up
on which It falls. Tills will wither and
turu brown iu a day or two and great
ly detract from the beauty of the lawn.
But if you keep your lawn well mowed
and that means going over It at lenst
three times a week iu ordinary sea
sous the amount clipped off at each
mowing will be so slight that there
will not be enough of it to show. Let
the knife hhules be set high enough to
leave at least two inches of the foll
ngo. Outing Magazine.
The Coyote.
One of the most Interesting wild ani
mals is the prairie wolf, known in
Mexico as the coyote nud in the old
world ns the Jackal. It Is thirty-six to
forty Inches long, with u tall measur
ing sixteen to eighteen Inches Iu length.
The color Is usually a dull, yellowish
gray on the back aud sides, with Mack
cloudings. The underpart and inside
of the limbs nre of a dirty white tint.
The voice Is n sort of snapping bark,
and for this reason the animal is
known as the "barking wolf." It Is
found on the western plains, extend
ing from Mexico to latitude 55 degrees
north. It hunts In packs and is very
fleet.
A Good Color.
Negroes use the same phrases they
hear whites use, often with amusing
application. This conversation, over
heard in the streets of a southern city,
is related in Lippincott's Magazine:
"Howdy, Mis' Mandy? How Is you?"
called one dusky nunty to another.
"Oh, I Jes' tollable. Mis' Johnson. How
you feellu'?" was the response. "Why,
I's n-feelln' mighty peart, I Is." con
fided Mrs. Johnson. "I suttcnly does
feel flue." "Welluni, yo' sho' Is look
In' well," agreed her friend. "Yo' col

Proxy Ilnnlmnda In Turkey.
Divorces nre easy to obtain iu Tur

marry a fourth-time, the woman must
go through the formality of marrying

a curious profession that of proxy
husbands. Such men are generally
blind and have no hesitancy in relin
quishing their brides for a money con
