Parnell had some pet superstitions, according to his biographer, Barry O’Brien. “He would not pass another person on the stairs. He was horror- stricken to find himself sitting with three lighted candles; the fall of a Picture inthe room made him dejected for the entire afternoon, and he would have nothing to do with an important dill drawn up by a colleague because it happened to contain thirteen clau He also thought green a most unlucky eolor—a strange and inconvenient feel- ing for a Nationalist leader—and the sight of green banners at the political meetings he addressed often unnerved him.” es. Flowers and the Face. Women with faded complexions should go slow in putting hyacinthine | blue or corn flowers on their hats. This beautiful shade of blue seems to de- velop all the latent sallowness in the skin. “After 25,” as a great actress declares, “color is more becoming be- neath the face than above it.” Vivid- colored artificial flowers are extrem trying to ail but youthful cheeks. Flowers have not the softness of tulle, velvet or ribbon. Often the same tolor ean be worn with impunity in thes materials, where in stiff flowers i¢ would damage one’s good looks @ Lesson in Law.

( From the Builder: We recommena those who are interested in public art in this country to look at the account given of the decorative work carried out at the new Paris Opera Comique. The exterior sculpture is by the great- est French sculptors of the day; for the decorative paintings in the au- ditorium, the staircases and the foy- ers, a galaxy of the most gifted French painters has been employed; and all this paid for by the govern- ment, for the public good and for the encouragement of national art. When shall we see such a thing in England? It is as if we had a London theater decorated with sculpture by Mr. Gil- bert and Mr. Onslow Ford, and the halls and staircases painted by Mr. Watts, Mr. Tadema and Sir E. Poyn- ter. Instead of that, we have theaters with sculpture done by stone carvers and paintings by decorating ‘‘firms.” | Preserving Dead Rodies. | The success of preserving dead bod- | fes that has been achieved by a Na- | ples surgeon, Dr, E.

Pastear Was Absent Minded. The late M.

Doubtless the climatic influences will once more become favorable and for a few years resettlement will pro- ceed. But the truth is forcing itself upon the judgment of capitalists in- terested in squatting, that the climate of the central districts of Australia is too precarious to justify outlay, and a great extent of country is likely to be abandoned. But the wide coastal dis tricts of the continent of Australia will, as they are improved, more than make amends for the recession from an arid country that affords no en- couragement fcr permanent settlement Notwithstanding the losses of sheep in New South Wales, the total of the Australasian flocks shows a slight in- erease as compared. with ten years ago.

Speer’s winery and vineyards are the only Port grape vineyards in the United States; only vineyards that cultivate the real Port wine grape of Portugal ; while other wines or mixtures called port are made without a single Oporto gtapeinthem. Mr. Speer 1s the first and only one who imported the vines and acclimated the real Port wine grape vines of Portugal. He spent thousands of dollars as a hobby to see what he could do toward acclimating these Portugal vines here. It took eight years for them to become acclimated before Mr. Speer got a sinvle grape; during those years all died except abouteight hundred nes, when those began to grow vigorous and bear fruit ; from thes layers were made for new vines. The vineyards now cover ifty six acres. It has proven asuccess. The grapes are allowed to hang onthe vines until they begin to raisin, when they have parted with some cf the water and are rich in sugar; and the wine made from Port wine grapes is the only real genuine Port wine made in America.
