WH^JLTIvE^ Sc ANSLEY, The Leaders and Controllers of the Fine Dress Goods and Dry Goods Trade. Making Light of , llurd.n. The period of putting on spectacles is often long deferred by middle aged peo ple, who “hate to seem old,’ 1 or dislike confessing to themselves that they have reached one of the significant turning points of life. People have, however, different ways of accepting the inevit able. One charming woman, who has passed this visual limit, declares that her comfort ia thereby daily increased. “I was always so lazy!” she Bays. “Nevertheless, I had to do a thousand things I hated. Now when I go oat for an afternoon I can leave my glasses at home, and so, when I am asked to look at photographs, try a new crochet stitch, or read ’dear Mary Ann’s last letter,’ I can refuse with a clear conscience. And it is such a rest of mind and saving of Another woman, and a very pretty one, owns to a bit of tacit deception in wearing her cross. “1 try to put my glasses on with the afar of having always worn them,” she confesses. “I can’t help hoping that people will think me near sighted from childhood." Bat a dear old gentleman, who can’t see withoat glasses, actually goes to the length of declaring that he doesn't need them at all. He proves the cose by standing at a distance from print and reading it without difficulty. “There's nothing the mutter with my eyes,” he then explains humorously. “The only trouble is, my arms aren't long enough.—Youth's Companion. Men Like Aprons. It is a funny thing, but all men like •peons. There is a something house wifely about them that suggests good dinners and sweet, considerate care.

An (1^ Is the Farmer's Friend. Of all birds, from the farmers' stand point, owls are the most useful. They hunt silently and in the night, and are nothing short of lynx eyed cats with .wings. The benefit they confer upon agriculturists is most incalculable, and Is susceptible of proof. It is woll known that owls bunt by night; but it may he less a matter of common knowledge that, like other birds of prey, they return by the mouth hard indigestible parts of the food in the form of elongated pellets. These are found in considerable qnanti- tits abont the birds’ haants, and on ex amination of them reveals the fact that owls prey upon a number of predaceous creatures, the destruction of which Is directly beneficial to man. Of course the evidence gained in this way is infallible, and to show to what extent owls assist in preserving the bal ance of nature it may be mentioned that 700 pellets examined yielded the remains of 0 bats, 13 rats, 337 mice, 003 voles, 1,S90 shrews and S3 birds. Tbeso truly remarkable results were obtained from the common barn owl, and tho remains of the 33 birds were those of 10 sparrows, 1 greenfinch and 3 swifts. Tho towny and long eared owls of our woodlands are also mighty tranters, and nn exam ination of their pellets shows equally in teresting evidence.—Cornhill Magazine. Bargain Counter Hrimrtrr. An early morning customer in a big retail dry goods shop is apt to hear sorno quaint talk among the clerks, who amuse themselves by chaffing one another while waiting for the active trade of tlie day to begin. In an up town shop the other morniug a customer beard tho follow ing dialogue: “Say, fanny?" from tho ribbon counter. "What is it, ribbons?" from tho fun counter. “Why is it that y ou are 60 unpopular with the ladies?” “Clive it up.” “Because in cold weather they don’t fan—see, you?" "Say. ribbons, why to your trade like that of a granger?" “Why to it?” “Because so much of it to gros gtolh." —New York Times. An Incorrigible Child.

It sat in the mid dle of the room, and as the resulting smoke was of the slightest no opening in the roof or elsewhere was necessary. The same implement, still called by its old Greek nomo ot brazier, is still em ployed in many portions of continental Europe, where it is utilized for heating aa well as cooking. But the progressive Romans improved on that and mode a hypocaust It was the germ of the present furnoco. It was madennder the house in a little cellar prepared for it, and the heat was con ducted to the rooms and baths through crevices left in the floor and lower por tions of the wall.

A llenmrkuble Phenomenon. On Thursday, March ID, 1710, there appeared at London, about 8 o'clock at night, a “sudden great light moving ut ter the manner but more slowly than a falling star. It started from a point be low Orion’s belt, then lying in the south west, and went upward instead of down ward like a falling star. Its size, ac cording to the testimony of numerous observers in Spain, France, Ireland, Hol land and some parts of Germany, as well as those who saw it in London and all over England, was about that of the full moon. It was of whitish color, with an eye in the center ns blue as tho most azure portion of a June sky after a thun der storm. It went straight upward in its course until out of sight, leaving a track of fiery red sparks in its wake."— St. Louis Republic, For Over Fifty Year.
