"When I was a little girl,"
said a New York matron recent
ly, "women didn't drink wine in
a public place, and the possibili
ties of the soda fountain had not
been discovered. We kept our
bonnets on at the theater and
took them off at an afternoon re
ception. When we wore crino
line it was not in our sleeves.
We used to teach classes in the
Sunday schools, but we never
had any Chinamen among the
pupils. If the girl had musical
talent she learned to play the
piano or the violin. Burnt cork
men in the minstrels were the
only ones who plunked the
banjo in those days. There
were no fashionable shades of
hair and no changes in the
.colors. If a girl was born with
black hair she.never thought of
making it yellow."
A plug of tobacco is as good a
barometer as anyone needs. As
longas the weather is to be fine
the tobacco will be dry, and, if
thereus not too much sugar and
liquorice in it, will crumble like
bark But just before a rain the
tobacco will get damp and flexi
ble, and the moisture in the air
will make it almost clammy. No
one who chews tobacco need ever
be without information as to a
change in the weather if he will
only watch his plug.
Eating between meals, says a
wise doctor, is a bad habit for
one to acquire. It will certainly
injure the digestive process and
soon upsets a natural, healthy
appetite for regular meals. It
is a very easy habit to get into
and is rather difficult to break
up. If any eating is indulged in
between meals, perfectly ripe,
fresh fruit is the least harmful
kind of refreshment.
Arcturus is not less than 70
and is probably more than 100
light years distant from us. This
star certainly surpasses the sua
in volume many thousand times.
The Corsicana Oil Develop
ment company have let contracts
for the sinking of ten new wells,
work upon which is to begin at
once.
A Swede tried to commit
suicide at Temple last week by
beating his brains out with a.
rocu. The poor -fellow is de-
mented.
