As soon as there comeg a suggestion of frostlness in the air there Is an ex cuse for the smartly gowned woman to swathe her throat in some one of the many pretty and becoming boas she is so fond of wearing. For some occult and feminine reason she does not consider her costume complete without this finishing conceit—a conceit which goes through slight changes with the coining of each season, but which in tlie etui is a mass of soft and Huffy chiffon or lace of a color that sets off to the best advantage a woman's fea tures. It is not so much on account of the warmth possessed by these airy ac cessories that they are so well liked, nor for tlie comfort of having some thing high at the back of the neck, though it is a fact that after once wearing a ruche or a boa a woman doesn't feel quite cldc if she appears on the street without one. The real reason they are so popular—if you could get a woman to explain her very evident fondness for boas and other reck creations—is because they add to the attractiveness of any face, be it young or old. Ynltip of Fresh Air. Sleeping in the open air has passed the life limit of a "fad" and assumed the proportions of a habit. It is, more over, a growing habit, the motto of which is "with nothing between you and the sky." Only in summer is it possible to push this habit to the ex treme, of course, and even then so meager are the sky sleeping accommo dations of the average home that few can enjoy the luxury indicated in the motto. The number of persons who take to tents and repose in hummocks swung in the open air in the summer, however, increases each year. This is particularly true of young children, hundreds of whom during the past summer were emancipated from stuffy nurseries and given their naps on piaz zas and balconies or upon tlie hand breadth of grass plot diguitied by the name of "dooryard" in city homes. Such children, in their plump beauty •and infantile good nature, are the best possible witnesses to tlie efficacy of the "open air sleeping cure," if cure it may be called, since, more properly speaking, it is a preventive instead.— Portland Oregouian. An Autumn Note. Autumn said to dying summer: "Sweet were your songs and softly went your winds above the blue hanks of violets and gardens where your lilies were like altars of sweet worship. But the beautiful dies and leaves us but tlie rose of memory, kissed of sad sunlight, and the rain that Love calls tears. Your birds have left their nests, laced in tlie sheltering trees; your llowers are but phantoms; your streams have sung you to sleep; your footprints are fading from the hills; your voice Is silent in the valleys, and, grieving for you, I have robed you not in ghostly shrouds, but raiment of scarlet and gold, and laid you down to dream beneath thy perfect skies of life to come, of love that lives forever!"— Atlanta Constitu tion. How Muaic Writing; I'uyn, John Philip Sousa says: "A publisher who died a short time ago gave me $33 for every piece 1 wrote. Among those $35 pieces was 'The Washington Post,' which I wrote in 18S8 for uiy deceased friend, Frank Hatton, who was editor of the Washington Post. 1 don't know what my publisher made out of this composition. 1 changed 'houses' be cause a firm offered me 15 per cent ou net sales, and out of the march 'Liberty Bell' 1 have received about $45,000. I advise every one to write music If he can sell It" Odd ClnMNlttcatlon. It is said that a consignment of "Wheeling stogies," which is the name of a brand of cigars, recently shipped to England was classified by tlie cus tom house officials as "leather manu factures" on the assumption that they were boots for bicycling. This is equal to the action of the Dutch patent office which classified au American machine for making ginger snaps under "disfiiling and brewing" yi the assumption that "glugersnaps" |as some sort of "schnapps" to Uriuk. TOYS FROM TIN CANS. How it ii ItifxenloiiH French mnn Got Hich Out of Sardine Tin*. Near the close of a long aud fierce war between France ami several other nations of Europe, when the ITussians were trying to get entrance to Paris, the French soldiers were in the city, and that tlicy might have enough to eat and drink the persons who owned shops and bakeries were forced to give them wine and bread. Many of the shopkeepers soon found their stores empty, and various ways were invent ed to keep their children from starv ing. At this time a wine seller named Drog was in sad distress. His wine shop was ruined and empty, and he knew not how he could secure bread for his family. In the yard at the back of ids shop was a large heap of empty sardine cans, which had been thrown out in the happier days. lie bad learn ed that solder, with which the cans had been sealed, was In great demand, and one day as lie ennie across the old cans the thought entered his mind that the solder might be sold; so, building a little furnace, the solder was melted off the cans, and for this he secured a neat sum of money, with which he bought food for the family. Not stopping at this, Mr. Drog hired a number of ragpickers to go around the city and gather lip all the sardine cans they could find. While experi menting another Idea came to him that the tin of the cans could also be used in making toys for children. Tin sol diers and other pretty playthings wore made and sold. In after years Mr. Drog built factories In other parts of France. Millions of children's toys are now sent out from these shops each year, and Mr. Drog has made a large fortune from the old sardine cans. Tiny Toy Automobile. The little son of Mr. George Billan of Middletown, Ind., Is happy in the pos session of what is perhaps the smallest automobile iu the world. It was made by Mr. Billan, who is a jeweler, ami it is only ten inches long and eight inches in height, weighing only two pounds JUST LIKE A DIG ONE. and two ounces. It has rubber tires, j is ball bearing and is furnished with a | side steering lever, which is controlled j by a little figure in the scat. It runs I hi a circle or a straight line over 2(H) feet at one winding of the spring mo tor and has a perfect starting and stop ping lever, just like the big machines. The Princes* Villa. The little Princess Victoria Louise, who is eight years old. Is the only girl ! in the Imperial family of Germany. Iler father, the emperor, has bought a I beautiful villa for her older brothers to live in while they are studying at I the university in the quaint old city of I Bonn, on the Rhine. The house stands j on the bank of the river and has large I grounds around it. There are conscrv ! atorles in the gardens and a fine ten- I ids court, which can be Hooded in win ter and turned into a skating pond. The crown prince Is fond of riding and driving, and tlie stables are well filled with horses. Tlie prince's suit of rooms are on the ground floor, while his youn ger brother. Prince Kitol Frederick, has his apartments up stairs. Every- I tiling lias been done to make tlie house a pleasant home for these two princes through their college days. llird* Tlint Walk. Does it not seem strange that, al though we cannot fly like the birds, no matter how much we try, some birds can walk like human beings? Watch your pigeons or a quail, lark, blackbird or snipe walk or run proudly | and quickly along the ground. Don't you suppose they think us very stupid i not to be able to do both? And how ! sorry they must be for their cousins, the woodpecker, thrushes, sparrows I and warblers, who can only hop! Of all the awkward walkers among l birds the graceful swallow Is the | worst. Perhaps he realizes it himself, I for he very seldom uses his feet at all. The Hill of tlie Cellar Door. I know a hill not far away W here children always love to play; The hill is straight and smooth and low; For little folks 'Lis better so. Tin- roasting there is very nice, Without the cold of snow and ice; You slide in summer, fall or spring. But need nut bother sleds to bring. It is the safest hill I've found; Sometimes you tumble to the ground. But 'tis not far you huvc to fall And would not hurt u child at aIL It's very near your home, and so Your inother'U always let you go, For then she knows you're right near by. And she can hear you if you cry> 1 So up you scramble, down you slide, '} And, oh, you have a Jolly ridel n You always want to play aome more , -4 ■ Upon the hill of Cellar Door. / 1 | - Annie Willis McCullough. , WINDMILLS IN THE WEST. Important Part They Play on the Great PnrniM of the Plain*. "A thing that strikes an eastern man strangely," said the man Just back from a western trip, "Is the prevalence of the windmill in the west. This is supposed to be the age of steam and electricity, of new ideas in every line of human activity, but you would be inclined ,to change your mind if you ever saw the forests of primitive wind mills that dot the western plains. They first come into view when the traveler crosses the Mississippi into lowa, and by the time be gets to Nebraska and Kansas they seem to be staring In the car windows at every revolution of the wheels. "And they are the most useful ad junct the western farmer possesses. Usually a man associates the windmill with Holland, but the western variety Is a different brand and used for ex actly the opposite purpose that Hol landers employ them for. In that coun try the mill Is used to get rid of the water. In the west It is employed to produce it. The enterprising manu facturers make them in all styles, some tall and graceful, others low, with a half circle of fans at the top. The big ones are useful in grinding corn, but most of tliem are engaged In pumping up water for irrigation and to slake tlie thirst of the cattle, horses and hogs. For the latter a sys tem of pipes conveys the water to various parts of the ranch. "The wells reach way down Into the earth, where an exhaustless supply is found, and, while few furnish tlie source of any extended irrigation sys tems, nearly all have connections with the garden and yard. The small streums which abound in the west gen erally become stagnant during the sum mer; but, with the sand point and the wind puinp, the great reservoir of na ture is tapped, and great streams of water are furnished. Many ranchmen have built inilkhouses around the wind pump, and the fresh, cool water is kept running through large tanks made for milk cans, enabling them to furnish their own tables witli choice cream and butter and an overplus that In many ?ases pays for the family groceries. "Only a western farmer can appre ?iate the value of a windmill as a fac tor in the development of the country. It means an abundance of water for stock and Irrigating purposes, and this means greater productiveness, bigger crops and better prices, more business in the towns and increased earnings for the railroads. The windmill Is a primitive method of obtaining power, but it is doing a splendid work in the west."—New York Sun. How CLL ten Bury Tliemnolve*. A well lias recently been driven in the Place de I'Hotel do Ville in Paris for the purpose of ascertaining the na ture of the subsoil of the French cap ital. The revelations throw light on the manner in which great cities in the course of centuries bury the relics of their past. First conies a layer of rubbish, nearly four and a half feet thick, dating from the sixteenth cen tury to the nineteenth. A second lay er, a little over two and a half feet thick, consists of rubbish recognizable by the character of its fragments as belonging to the period from the four teenth to the sixteenth century. This is separated from the first layer by a thin deposit of sand, and a second sandy deposit covers the third layer, which plainly shows relics of the elev enth and twelfth centuries. At the bot tom is a clayey deposit tilled with frag ments of pottery and bits of oak tim ber belonging to the Gallic and Gallo- Kouiau periods. A Straddle.

Snxe, the poet wit, attended a Hag raising at Greenbush, a little | place across the river from Albany, (luring the civil war and made an elo quent speech In which he praised the young men of Greenbush for showing ; their patriotism by exerting themselves to procure the star spangled banner. Tills did not altogether please the chairman, who whispered to him that the young ladies of Greenbush had j also been Instrumental in raising funds for the purchase of tlie flag. Thereupon Saxe, addressing the young ladies, made them a graceful and gallant apology for not including them in his praise. "I don't know how I came to make such a mistake," he explained, "save as I may have been laboring under the impression that the young men of Greenbush embraced the young ladies of Greenbush." Wonderful IlrltiMli Dog*. A delightful story is told of a sports man who was boasting of the intelli gence of his dog. "Would you believe It," he said, "when I was walking in to the city he suddenly stopped and pointed at a man by a bookstall, and nothing I could do would induce the dog to move. So I went up to the man and said, 'Would you oblige me with your name?' 'Certainly,' said the stran ger. 'My name is Partridge/" Another dog's "tail:" A suburban gentleman who was In the habit of giving ids dog some small delicacy on leaving for the city each morning for got to do so 011 one occasion. As he was going out of ids house the dog caught his master's coattails in his teeth and, leading Idm into the garden, stopped at a flower bed. The flowers growing there were forgetiuenots.— London Globe. A. Oswald lias the agency for the cele brated Elysian's extracts and perfumery. The finest goods made. Try them.
