The steeple-jack's Ability to keep his head and his feet, while working on a "top" which is aTledge, three feet wide, between abysses 500 feet deep, is a gift. Like the poet, tlu« steeple-jack is born, not made. Clmrles Waterton. the naturalist, had the gift, and would have adorned the profession--the only one into which men do not drift.

It Is a very good scheme, this. There is. not enough change in the silhouette of evening gowns to cast the ones of last year into outer darkness. Satin is stilt-. profusely used, also silk^ net The1 ulira-fashionable line is a straight one from bust to ankles, but a normal waistline, slightly loosened, with a careless girdle at or below It, remains In fashion. •Skirts are "agp4« short In front for the evening; and the striking differ- SS-JNS :-vv>S^X N»SA»V MM mm WFM. v/////A'///.\ rifi /A/ . t /S/; T i p 8 m a l l ^ V e l v c t Hat of Red Velvet, the Feathers at the Back Alio of Red. already eeiapJalHed- that womoti aee ^5 insisting j^pon one-piece frocks and top r?* v coats instead of coat suits, but as X J* there has rarely been sucli a demand % » for fur coats, furriers are delighted.

As all the new models show this in a detached form,, the solution of putting an-old gown into new shape is made easy.

"V * The woman who has exotic notiona does not choose a velvet that matches the rest of the gown in color. She puts a.' train of king's blue velvet against a slim frock of, yellow tulle or she makes a train of Burgundy red edged with ermine agajnst a gown of black tulle and jet. There are black velvet trains lined With #hife and edged with ermine, caught with ropes of jet over bare shoulders, that himg away from slim frocks of white'satin girdled with'gold. .' ' | There is no attempt to get away/ from the velvet tnlin, be it shorf or long, and It is quite ^Hdent from Us wholesale^ appearance that it Istf ar­ ranged as often at home as in Jliie dressmakers' palons. If any one color predominates, in *v»lyet It may be red; whatever the shade, a piece of it is inserted in al- most every costume. There are few. ; pe^ajie who can stand the gorgeous^ ; uesi? of Japanese red, but even it is found in velvet trainees well as suede girdles on afternoon frocks. You can see for yourself how qjilck- ly an?unimportant gown is turned into an important one* by" the uddition of a velvet train. Remember that it should not be long, that it should not. ho snakelike and that its lining should lie important. The problem of fasten­ ing It to the gown is not- easy,- and j whk utte gets to thdt^jart'of its># is best to be Imitative rather than ori­ ginal. «^ . ,1 - » (Gopyriahtxby McClure Newspaper ftyadl- of the castle of St. Angelo, io illum­ inate their summits on the feast of St;*f claims from the housetops how he did Peter. Eighty men used to climb the dome on two successive nights, and the boldest completed the spectacle by crowning the cross with a waving torch >-Pf fire. Each night's show was said, „©a the average, to cost a man's life. Waterton scaled the dome by daylight, and left his glove upon the vane. ' .A steeple-jack, employed entirely alone to mend a tall chimney-top in Pennsylvania, used to, asoend leisurely ' every cmorning about ten o'clock, at an hour when "merchants most do rongre- gate;" and when up, after surveying the gathered spectators, would further gratify them by standing on his head on the bare top -of the 250 foot shaft. The coolness and resources of these men were never better shown than in a case which happened, in upper New York state a few years ago. A steeple­ jack had flown his kite over a chimney, and subsequently drawn himself Qp to £he top. He was just beginning his inspection of the work, when by some {ntohap he dropi>ed his rope, and was left, like St. Simeon Stylites, alone on his pillar. Attempts were iiiuue io uy another kite over him, but the wind had dropped. There were iron ladders lu- side the chimney, but the fires would have to be ^irawn, and the chimney let cool for hours. The steeple-jack was then seen to unlace one of his shoes, take off the long blue stocking worn by workmen, and set to work carefully to unravel It, knottiug the pieces ox yarn together when necessary. t He then fastened a stone to the end, plumbed the depths p!c!i*'d otlses* stocking to pieces, and added it to the first length of yarn, ,and let it down far enough to meet u tall ladder, from which he drew up, first a piece of strong string, next a rope, and then, after completing his inspection of the ehluiney-top, lowered himself to ttie ground. There Really Is No Cause for Worry Because Young Son Does Things That Seem Uncivilized. There comes a time when nearly every mother suddenly becomes great­ ly alarmed over her young son. On® Say he is quiet, well-behaved, manner­ ly ahd, apparently, quite civilized. And all at once--the first thing she knows, he Is climbing rickety old trees to their very tops or he is walking miles, If need be, to find a woods where he may play "Indian," or highwayman, or pirates, with other boys who have spontaneously become as barbarous at heart as their cave-dwelling ancestors. So he comes home covered with mud, leaving great wads of it upon the stairs, and with streaks of it be­ hind his ears. His shoes are likely to be soaked through and through, so that his mother forces him to take ilf- tastlng gargles and medicines, poor chap! And his manners have depart­ ed. He no longer talks, he shouts. Perched .on the fence he? carries on personal conversation witk a boy a block away. He tears his clothes with appalling frequency, and does not seem alarmed about it. He gets into flglits, and comes home with a black eye, :md instead of feeling ashamed, he pro D06S BURIED A WEEK | TO PREVENT OLD AGE .*DIG T8 FREEDOM Two Pets Afe Entoittbed While Pursuing a Rabbit jptQ ^ Enlbanknferit. ^ Kansas Citf, Mo.--Entombed 15 feet lb the earth for 188 hoursv and with­ out food - or water the entire seven days, two dogs belonging to"two boys of Rosedale dug themselves ont and have returned to their home after be­ ing given up for "(lend.

The aggregate export for jPve years, most of which was taken by the United States, was 8,085,000 pounds of sugar and 20,000 gal ions </f sirup., How much more was con- sumed by the producers Cannot be learned from Canadian records"!

Since that time the drift has been practically uninterrupt­ ed. In 1790 cities were extremely rare In this country. Only one had a population of more than 30.000. This was New York city, which had at that time 33,131 inhabitants. Next came Philadelphia, with 28,500, and then Boston, with 18,320. In the entire coeetry there feo* pie.--Literary Digest.

Attracted by the noise. Best and his son, Merrill, hastened from a nearby field. The bull attacked young Best and tossed him over the barnyard fence.

The people of the worid must be fed and wheat near $2 a bushel offers great profits to the farmer. Canada's invitation Is therefore especially attractive.
