Aitering furs pensive business, and queer or pe- culiar shapes remain in fashion only a short time, while an ordinary type of muff and a searf or boa remain good style season after season. There is nothing in apparel that makes better return for good care than furs, and it is not difficult to see that they are well protected during the summer time. The pieces should be put away in bags containing a few moth-balls, or in cold storage. When taken out they are to be bumg in the open air and beaten until fuffy. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Posy Muffs and Ruffs. The newest craze is for the flowered ruffs. They are easy to make at.home. Use velvet ribbon an inch and a half wide and once around your neck in length allowing for a hem at each end. Sew to the ribbon flat flowers about half an inch apart until the velvet is covered. Double a strip of tulle, gather, and sew to the top of ribbon and the same at the bottom. The tulle should be very full. Sew flowers on the tulle to match those on the band and fasten with & bunch of flowers at the side. A muff to match can be made out of s‘rips of the velvet ribbon put to- gether with strips of flowers and cdged with a ruffle of flowercovered tulle.

The real reason, however, seems to be an entirely different one. Dr Gus- tav Fisher of Jena invites attention to, the fact that the world’s greatest thinkers, with few exceptions, were poor or indifferent pupils in their school days, says the New York Amer- ican. The reason for this is that great thinkers usually have poor memories. It is extremely difficult for them to memorize.

The old woman grabbed it, and then fell on her knees in the middle of the road and started praying for all she wag worth, regardless of mud or mo- tors. “And people say the lower orders are irreligious and ungrateful,” solilo- quized her ladyship, who was quite touched by the exhibition. At last the supplications became more and more vehement, and curios- ity prompted the domor to -inquire what special blessings were being in- voked. “What are you praying for?” ! horse-sense that made the natives stare—Pearson included. !

I expect a visit soon from a showman and may close with him, it it would lead to getting that two thou- | sand dollars.” | Then Tempest and his master wers away like the wind. Five miles, ten miles, daszling dash and turning across a treeless waste, Dan suddenly halted Tempest and fixed his éyes on the far western harison with a pro-, longed: | “Hello!” ¥ Across the sky suddenly and with- out warning there had spread a broad black ribbon. Rising above this, a second seething strata of clouds botled, bubbled, tumbled, approaching with appalling swiftness. For the skilled plainsman a practiced eye read these menaces of a coming storm. He calculated to a second when it might cross his trail. As he touched up his horse, the intelligent animal saiffed and threw up its head as If sceating excitement and danger. { Haltf way across the desolate ! stretch of moorlard Dan brought Tempest to an abrupt halt. It was where he observed the daintiest little lady he had ever seen. The rain had | started, the wind nearly blew her off her feet. He noticed her rich attire, | her fair patrician face, but had she | been a scrub-woman the chlulrou” sentiments of Dan would have even equally aroused. ! “Quick!” he spoke rapidly, with a | superb sweep reaching directly the ! side of the young lady. “There is not | & moment to lose. Get into the saddle | and then—a dash for our lives. We're | a-goner if that storm overtakes us!” Miss Nina Grant drew back and re- garded this unceremonious stranger with disturbed dignity, despite her environment.
