HERPICIDE That many of the fashions which bo came famous ia their day and have come dDwo to our -own were due to chunce or, accident is now a matter of history. Interesting c're the stories told f the odd oripia of certain styles wb i an unsuspecting world probably thui.ht were intentionally chosen for their beauty or comfort. The courts of Europe hare been es pecially noted for their sheeplike fol lowing of an iaea introduced' by the reigning monarch, when frequently thiit idea was evolved to conceal, one of the ruler's physical defects. One of the kings of 'France came to the throne a child of ten. He wore bis hair in Ions ringlets ail about the bend. Immediately men and women coiffed themselves likewise. The same mon arch was bald at thirty, and, being n lover of all that was beautiful and feminine, he ordered the elaborate wis which was taken np and reveled in during many relsns. As for the hair being caught in the back and held with a small bow of ribbon, the style beloved of men sev ercl hundred years ago, little girls are sa'1 to hava originated the idea, and vMntnltt- Hna dor n rrt lonrinr i happened to be visiting, and his uos- j tess was late In arriving in the salon. The young man fell asleep, and the two children of the noble lady, creeping In. saw the guest and to play a trick tied his hair all together. The little girls, fearing to be caught, ran away, and the young man never knew of the curious picture the back of his wis presented. Other visitors discovered the garnish. laughed at the ribbon, and the young count declared barefacedly that he had so fastened his hair and meant to keep it always so from his neck and shoulders. Within a few days the entire nobility found the scheme so good they adopted the idea. The pannier was introduced by a queen to cover n misplaced hip bone. It wns an actress who Dnally threw the pannier aside after it had been fash ionable half a century. One evening just before she wns to appear cn the stage the actress discovered that one pannier was entirely drenched in oil. The dress, it was thought, was spoiled by a rival. The actress and her maid quickly thought the matter over, and both to gether quickly tore off the offending member of the costume. The actress donned the dress, but of course it pre sented a ridiculous appearance. So the other pannier was removed, and the slim young woman appeared on the stage more supple and graceful than ever. The audience at first gasp ed, then admired, and the utst day all of London (the scene took place t!'.ere decided to imitate the actress and her severe skirt. The origin of the beauty spot is no less interesting. The Duchess de Montmorilion suffered with a boil on the cheek and put on a bit of black mixture overnight said to be healing. In the morning she either forgot to wash her face or did not use enough care, so the story goes, and the inat tentive or malicious servant allowed her mistress to :ippear "before the world" with ber face spotted. Powder ed and perfumed. Montmorilion receiv ed her callers, who found the black spot charming, so much so that before night they had anointed their face with the black ointment.

In U'.e moment an apprentice in a feather establishment sewed the discarded bit.-: and ends of poor plumes together and strung them about her neck. The other girls laughed at the trimmius. the head of the department to.ind it pretty, and the order was given tlnst no custaways in the form of plumes be thrown in the wn.stebast.et. All parts of the plumes were kept, sewed on to a ribbon, the entire thing curled and long ribbon loops put at each eud. and the feather boa was the success of the season. The uncurled plume was purely the result of an accident. The bluest race of the year, the Grand Prix d'Au teuil. was on. and women were there dressed within an inch of their lives. A fearful rainstorm came up. and reo ple were drenched Plumes that bad left home finely curled were wet, 'nr.d each spiral stood apart. It was not pretty, the effect, but it was original, aud one of the milliners, not wUhiur to take the trouble to have the piuiuc: of ail his customers recuried. advised them to allow the garnish to remain a a it was. That week following the Grand Prh C'Auteuil saw nothing but straight spi ml plumes, and women liked them so much that before the following Sun day, when the Grand Frlx de Long champ was to be. women who had curled plumes had the wave taken out so that they might appear like the oth er fashionables. For more than a year the defrlssee plume was sought. As a whole fashion is. like in this instance, only the result of an accident.

The imagination of man has always been impressed by floating islands. Id ancient times such islands were re garded with superstitious reverence, and the romantic stofs' of Delos the natal isle of Apollo and Artemis ia but one of the many cases recorded in classical literature of vagrant tslanda in the sea. Pliny says that in the lake of Vadi- monis there is a dark wood which ia never seen in the same place" for a day ! and a night together, and he describes the islands calli.nl Calamlnae (1. e.. "made of reeds"). In Lydia, which were not only driven by the wind, but could be pushed about from placa to place with poles. Floating gardens some natural and some artificial -have nourished, in many parts of the world from early times. They are particularly advantageous in regions eiposed to floods, where a gar den planted on terra firma would be ruined by these occurrences, while the floating garden is undisturbed by the rise of this water. The famous float ing gardens of Kashmir are a case in point The lake of Xochimllco. near the city of Mexico, ia nearly covered with floating gardens, called chinamp-., on which are raised vegetables and flow ers for the city markets. They are formed of. floating masses of water plan's, covered with soil and scuretf by poplar Makes. The latter take root and surround the islands with llfinf hed-Da. Philadelphia Ledger.
