RECEPTION AND TEA GOWNS,
ger in that young man’s mind while he
is—well, somewhere -else, about his
business maybe, and perhaps gsearching
for some pleasure that.offers greater en
ticements than a cup «of tea. DBut the
wise virgin of the mineteenth century
does not let her lamp:ge out, nor - does
she go to sleep by the wayside. She
keeps the tea urn simmering beside a
bright open fire, and she wears such a
pretty gown. By and bythe young man
arises and goes back to.the pretty girl in
her soft gown, her floating ribbons, her
filmy laces, and he looksat her through
the vapor from his teacup and thinks
how restinl and homelike it all is and
how nice it would be to have her pour
out tea for him every day—and we will
leave the rest t@ the reader and tell of
some of the gowns whoss beauty has
bronght the lagging bridegroom to his
senses.
One was made of deep red crepon,
with hoavy crinkles. The front was laid
in one wide box plait, falling from the
bust to the feet. The back avas en prin
cesse and very full and ina demitrain.
The large puéfed sleeves reached only to
the elbows and were therefinished with
upright cuffs, made of vandyked accor
dion plaited pink silk muslin. There
was a deep pelerine collar, made of the
muslin, plaited and bordered with red
velvet ribbon, two rows of :if, and very
narrow. The plumparms were left bare,
and the whole gown formed a point of
brightness and cheer. No-wonder the
trensseau is in course of preparation.
~Another gown for a young lady, while
i not quite so andacious as the other, has
praved equally effective. It was of blue
and lemon colored crepon, twe toned in
Its weave. The skirt was ample, but
Plain: the waist a plain Speneer, with
a ribbon belt of maize grosgrain, with
aline of dark blue down each edge.
There was a lace figaro back. In frout
there was a cascade of laee to the knees,
and on cach side of that hung aleop and
éud of theribbon, a little lower thanthe
L"‘S?- Tke stock was of maize crepe lisse
fulled on. The sleeves were balloon puffs
of the .arepon, with two long loops on
€ach shoulder, with the ends caught in
With the Jower part of the puff. The
¥hole arrangement was highly mevel
@d very stylish while still being a
girl’s dress” in all its simple eleganee.
E ;l:ihere was another dainty tea gows,
: we of white cashmere, with swan’s
E n‘ cuffs amd collar, and a line of
h:? s down two inches wide down
mmr‘;“t on each side of a pale blue
R ¢l panel. Still another was of
96 china crape, trimmed with ro-
Peles, made of wexry narrow black velvet

_ OLIVE HARPER,
WHAT IS GRAVITATION?
Some Examples That Seem to Answer the
Weighty Question.
‘Two men at antipodes on the earth’s
surface are drawn directly toward each
other. Each is at the apex of a cone of
the other. These cones interlock at the
earth’s center and are there equal, but
the greater part of the mass of each
core and consequently the greater mass
i-of ‘gravity holding eaca to his place is
|.past the center of the earth and culmi
‘nates at the feet of the other.
Every point of the earth’s surface
pulls in a straight line through the
center of the earth, not stopping at it;
losing part of the pound in proportion
as it approaches the center; then, pass
ing, regaining it again in proportion as
‘it approaches the opposite surface. So
that half way past the center the pound
which at the center was nothing has
:BOoW become a half pound, and at the
-antipodal surface a pound again.
Make the center of theearth the com
\[:mon apex of an indefinite number of
-eones radiating to the surface. .Awccord
[fing to mass, gravity pulls from ths cen
ter, and the center is again the:peint of
lmugation. :
If gravity is an actirve essence pro
«fuced by molecular motion, if being a
diving essence, it is therefore a ‘perish
:able one, it follows that in a conglom
erate mass, as the earth, some substances
‘will probably exhaust sooner than oth
.ers by reason of expiration of molecular
-activity, if that be its producer, or from
«other or any cause. Being an active ex
pending force, it must have a producer,
and that producer must have supplies of
force producing matter. Thesesupplies,
however great, must exhaust. Differ
-ent qualities of matter may contain this
force producing quality in differing de
grees and qualities. If so, the minor
will sooner exhaust A feather, a leaden
ball and a dry stick will fall through
space to our atmosphere with equal
speed because their atoms and the atoms
of the earth mutunally attract each oth
er regardless of shape or size. Gravity
is atomic, and every atom is the equal
of every other atom, no matter how
diffuse or how concrete the mass of the
object of which they are parts. But
the:dry stick may have lost its active
principle—gravity. Its essence produc
ing principles may have been exhausted.
Nevertheless it would be grasped by the
overwhelming gravity of the earth and
brought down in company with its fel
lows.
Gravity pulls laterally as well as per
pendicularly. The weight of the earth
has beern calculated from the pull of a
mountain on a plumb line.
A person standing in a narrow can
yon, withk walls towering hundreds or
thousands of feet above him on either
gide, has much better footing than if
on the pinnacle of a monument. In one
case he is held up by lateral gravity.
In the other he is without support. —R.
W. Musser in Cincinnati Enquirer.

CONDOR A DISAPPOINTMENT,
Visitors Expect to See a Bird That Rivals
In Size the Fabled Roc.
If the visitor to the zoological gardens
will make his way to the vultures’
aviary, he will find a conder of the An
des.
When he sees the greatsomber plum
aged bird sitting on the tree stump in the
middle of a not too roomy cage, his first
feeling will probably be one of disap
pointment. Some of this disappointment
must be put down to the highly exag
gerated accounts of early writers. The
measurement of 18 feet has been given
as the wing spread of a bird actually
killed and taped. Darwin shot one in
1834 with a wing spread of 8 feet 6
inches, and it measured 4 feet from
beak to tail. The measurements of one
that fell to Humboldt’s gun tally pretty
closely with those of the bird that Dar
win killed. i
Part of the dirappointment is no doubt
due to the surroundings. One has form
‘ed vivid mental pictures of the bird
sailing at a great beight without an ef
j fort, soaring in gracefal circles, or glid
ing down like lightning-upon its prey.
‘ One sees it sitting with its head drawn
down between its wings, and its plum
age draggled, without sufficient space
over which to run to gather momentum
for a rise, or height enough to fly if it
could leave the ground. Sometimes,
from the top of its perch, it attempts to
use its wings, but its efforts result in
failure.
It was long supposed that condors
hunted by scent, but experiments have
proved that the sense of smell in these
birds is by no means keen. They proba
bly discover their food by sight, and the
descent of one bird serves as a signal to
others at a distance.
A young condor is a much prettier ob
ject than an old one. It is clothed en
tirely in white down, and when it set
tles itself to sleep, with its feet hidden
“and its head tucked away, it looks like
a fluffy white ball.
The plumage of the adult is black,
with a white ruff round the neck, and
the quills have a white edging, which
' becomes broader at each successive
molt.—London Sketch.
* Dropping Their G’s.
The best bred men in England have
the habit of habitually dropping their
“g’s’’ in words ending in ‘‘ing,’’ such
as going, running, walking, etc.
Some of the younger generation of
America are horrified when they hear
this thing done by older people and set
it down as a mark of ignorance.
Those of them who have heard the
eminent Dean Hole of England in his
lectures are now surprised to find that
he invariably drops his ‘‘g’s,’’ and they
are looking up his authority for it. His
authority is simply common usage
among the university bred men of Eng
land.
It would always be done by a dean of
Christchurch or a master of Trinity,
who must be pretty well educated, bet
ter educated even than young American
girls that guard their *‘g’s’”’ and frown
on the old folk for dropping them.
Now that Dean Hole is on record here
as a dropper of ‘‘g’s’’ perhaps these or
theepic champions will forgive native
vulgarians the same habit.—Town Top
ics. :
Mustache Versus Music.
Anton Rubinstein is quoted thus ia
reference to women artists:
I think ladies ought never to study
music as an art. At least, they ought
not to take up the time of teachers who
are able to teach and make true artists.
And I will tell you why. There is no
question but there are 20 musical ladies
' to one musical man, and my own expe
rience is that they learn more quickly,
have more poetry, and, in fact, are more
“diligent pupils than men. But what is
the invariable result? When a young
lady has become a perfect artist, some
handsome mustache comes along, and
she chooses the handsome mustache in
preference to art.”
Dreadful Possibility.
It was evident that they were man
and wife and were returning from as
sisting at the wedding of two of their
friends. ‘“Wouldn’t it be awful,’’ she
was heard to say to him, *‘if they were
to live together long enough to find out
that the silver we gave them was only
plated ?”’—lndianapolis Journal.
