A Woman's Best Compliment.
The finest compliment we' have ever
heard told 11. 1 woman 141411 by lief
111111lanrl, w• In, sapid in speaking orf Ser.
"We always think of her AN 11 111(111)
ing glory, herons,. she looks no brig-•
and cherry and pretty at the break-
fast table." Ilow many breakfast
talipes are presided over by women
who make no eff.'rt to be dainty, and
there are a great notuh'r who are at
once untidy and even uncler-nly to
look at.
The claim that. hou(ehold duties
keep woruen flora loltking wolf in. the
morning T. e -is l( disproved; Tor in
many a household where the lady
gives a helping hand in the kitchen a
big apron will thoroughly protect her
dress., and then, too, cooking, unless
one. makes it so, is never dirty work.
That Wo'inan commits an error who
looks uncured for and badly dresser) in
the horning.
The other woman. who wear•.
any oh1 t.htng to the breakfast
table, is also snaking a mistake, for
that is the time when the men of the
household aught to eco a woman at
her hist, and not eerier:jelly rely on
her appearance in the evening, when
the soft end ehariteble light of the gas

THE FREAKISH WINO.
Pranks It Has Played With Smoker
Dust and Grain.
During a volcanic eruption in the
Hawaiian Islands the smoke rose to
a height of between five and six miles
and then drifted away W the north-
east. At a distance of 800 miles it
sealed -on the surface of the sea and
was then carried back by the north-
east wind to it. placeof origin, where
it arrived u fortnight atter its or,g-
inal departure and covered the entire
group of islands with its heavy pall.
Not long ago a steamer was on her
way along the north African coast
from Asia to England and had enter-
ed the Galita channel between the
island of that name and the coast of
Tunis when a fine dust began to dark-
en the air and soon afterward to fall
on deck. Some of this dust was col-
lected and subjected to chemical ana-
lysis in Europe. Ise constituents
proved that it had been carried high
in the air from the Sahara desert and
had finally dropped into the Mediter-
ranean.
More extraordinary still was a dust
shower that tell in Hungary some
Years ago. Analysis showed that this
dust was identical with the sediment
of the Nile. The dust was believed to
have been brought by the wind all
the way from . Egarpt a pretty long
journey for a shower of that descrip-
tion -to seeemplish.
it must have been a ,high wind in-
deed that brought 'r shower of wheat
011 one mica/don to the villagers in a
place on the southern coast of Span.
The wheat tell like rain. .There were
so many witnesses of the occurrence
that it was tmpoeatole to doubt that
it had appeared. But for some months
it could not be accounted for.
Then came the other side of the
story. 1t was learned that shortly
before -this fall of wheat some farmers
near the northern coact of Morocco
hail been threshing wheat with flails
when rum,. ..ly a tornado swept over
the ground and carried all the wheat
and chaff on the thrashing cloth in-
to the air. The cloth was swept away
by the )term, and the farmere fell to
the ground, but were not injured
When the storm had passed they were
horrified at discovering that .the re-
sult of their labors had totally dia..
appeared. There seemed hale doubt
that the wheat that fell in Spain was
that which belonged to the Moroccan
farmers. It had been blown clear
across the Mediterranean.
Knew What He Was Doing.
For once the American had .11
covered something British that w.
better than anything they could pr..
duce "across the pond." Hfs dt •
covery was a fine collie dog, and he t
ons' teed to induce it8 owner, au o J
sbepherd, to sell it.
"Wad ye be takln' him to lawn -
ca?"' inquired the old Scot.
"Yee, I gym; so," said the Yan-
kee_.
1 await as moekle," said the
shepherd. "1 oouldna pairt wi'
.Jock."
But while they sat and chatted an
English tourist came up, and to hist
the shepherd sold the collie fur mush
lea. than the American had offered.
".You sold me you wuuidn't sett
hien," said the Yankee when the
purchaser had departed.
"Na." replied the Scot; "I said 1
oouldna pairs wi' him. Jock '11 be
back in a day or so, but he oouldna
Swint the Atlantic."
When Spectacles Were New.
In the days when spectacles were
introduced the world was not all
wise. Glasses became so fashionable
that people did not wait until neces-
sity compelled them to adopt the
new custom. Whether their eyesight
was bad or good, those who would
be stylish wore spectacles. In Spain
they formed part of the costume ef
every well dressed person. The et,
ject of the wearer in putting ou
glasses was to increase the gravity of
his appearance and render himself
more directly imposing. The glas.es
of spectacles were proportioned in
size not to the eyes, but to the rank
of the wearer, those worn by the
Spanish nobles being as large its one's
hand. The Marquis of .Astorga�-,vicc-
roy of Naples, after having Inad\hie
bust sculptured in marble parti0u-
larly enjoined the artist not to forget
his beautiful spectacles.
Water as • Headache Cure.
