A MATTER OF COMPULSION, No Soup, No Dinner, the Rule Laid Down by Barney. Six years ago, when the king visited Dublin, some amusing incidents were recorded due to the grotesqueness of some hotel waiters apparently just fresh from rural life. One hotelkeeper told such a newly imported “server” that he must al ways serve every one with soup at dinner and be quite certain that he had it. Thereupon ensued the following 6cene between a visitor and the new waiter: “Soup, sir?" said Barney. “N'o soup for me,” said the visitor. “But you must have it," said Bar ney; “it's the rules of the house." “Hang the houseV exclaimed the visitor, highly exasperated. “When 1 don’t want soup I won't eat it. Get along with you!" "Well,” said Barney, with solemnity, “all I can say is just this—it’s the rules of the house and sorra a drop else ye'll get till ye finish the soup!” —London Telegraph.

BIG GLACIAL RIVERS ntiLW " TORRENTS FROM MELTING ICE DRAINED THROUGH GREAT LAKES TO THE STREAMS. OLD BOUNDARIES ARE TRACED Expert Wright Tells Where the Work of the Prehistoric Period Orig inated and Ended—Bodies of Water Enlarged. BY G. FREDERICK WRIGHT, A. M., LL. D. (Author of “The Ice Age in North Amer ica." “Man and the Glacial Pe riod,” Etc.) (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) Ice is a rock. At any rate, so long as it lasts it performs all the functions of rock. As one steams up the Yukon river he will often see ahead of him a forest growing upon a high bank with precipitous face which at first sight would seem to be the enduring rock of the region. But upon near ap proach it will turn out to be an ice cliff covered with a few feet of soil which has been washed out upon it in sufficient quantity to support vegeta tion. Large forests are growing upon the Malaspina glacier in Alaska, sev eral miles back from its front, and where the ice is 1,000 feet thick under it. In numerous places in the vicinity of existing glaciers large streams of w ater may be found running both upon the surface of the ice and along a high elevation between the ice and the adjoining highland or mountain chain wffiich hems it in. Large lakes of water are also found at high eleva tions where they are held in by ice barriers. Where these barriers sud denly burst through, as they some times do, tremendous floods of water devastate the valley below. The Matt mark See. in Switzerland, and other bodies of water held up behind alpine glaciers have been a menace. But great as are the direct effects upon the drainage, of ice of existing glaciers, those brought to light by study of the glacial period in North America surpass them all in wonder ful measure. Naturally the accumula tion of ice during the glacial period began at the north, and early clogged up the great lines of drainage which lead in that direction, while, after the tral New York the drainage of the great lakes was held up to the level of the passes from Lake Erie and Lake Michigan leading over into the valley of the Mississippi. At first, before the ice had melted ofT from northern Mich igan, where the lakes are united, there were several independent outlets. These can be easily traced from Lake Chautauqua down Conewango creek into the valley of the Allegheny, and down French creek to a similar desti nation, and from Grand river in Ohio into the Mahoning at Warm, reaching the Ohio, through Beaver creek. 25 miles below Pittsburg. The Ohio river all the way down is lined with gravel terraces, frequently rising more than 100 feet above the river, which furnish building sites for the most of the cities along its course. Fourth street in Cin cinnati is on one of these terraces, 120 feet above the river. As the ice was slowly retreating over the area occupied by Lake Erie back to the Niagara escarpment, the main outlet for the ever-increasing glacial lake was through an opening at Fort Wayne, Ind., leading into the Wabash river and thence into the Ohio. This outlet is 200 feet above the present level of the lake. Conse quently the water submerged all the land on the south and west sides of the lake below that level. The shore line of this great body of water, to which the name Lake Warren has been given, can be easily traced for hundreds of miles, and, like that south of Lake Ontario, was early chosen lor a highway and for building sites. Ap proaching each other from Ohio and Michigan, two gravel ridges come nearly together at Fort Wayne, leav ing there an opening from the Mau mee into the Wabash river about a mile wide, revealing an abandoned ! river channel, which is still almost as distinct as when the mighty current : of Niagara, made its exit to the sea. I A similar abandoned channel exists southwest of Chicago, leading from Lake Michigan into the Illinois river. This too is about a mile in width, with : level bottom and sharply outlined sides, through which the glacial drain age poured in even greater torrents than at Fort Wayne. For a while, however, it was merely the outlet of a \ limited lake at the south end of Lake ; Michigan. But as the ice retreated Outlets for Glacial Torrents—Dotted ice had reached its farthest limit nnd | began to meit back, the northerly di i rection of the drainage could not be resumed until the ice had all melted away. Thus for long periods the drain age of the great lakes, which now : passes down the St. Lawrence river, j was turned over to swell the volume I of the Susquehanna and the Ohio | rivers, while all the drainage that now j enters Hudson bay was turned over ! into the valley of the Missouri and the I Mississippi. This, anyone can see from a slight study of the map, must have been the case. It has been a most interesting work to geologists to find these actual outlets of glacial drainage, and to trace the effects of this great addition of volume to the i south-flowing streams of the north. In general the effects of this great increase of the volume of the water I poured into the valleys of the con | necticut. Hudson, Susquehanna. Alle | gheny, Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri j rivers are evident in the extensive ! gravel terraces which, line the banks | of all these streams and of their northern tributaries. The terraces of the Connecticut river have long been famous, consist | ing of deposits of gravel and sand ris | ing upon either bank of the river from 1 50 to 100 feet or more above present high water mark, in the Hudson val 1 ley they exist as brick clays, extensive j :y worked in various places above New York city, but spreading out into | extensive gravel deposits where the Hudson river comes out from the i Adirondack mountains. The sandy ' plains of Saratoga were spread out I during that stage of the glacial period, ! while immense streams of water were turned over into the Hudson valley through Lake Champlain and Lake George. The Champlain canal has ap | propriated a portion of this glacial channel, and passes from the lake to I the Hudson river with a lockage of I less than 50 feet. Before the ic° had melted" from * the Mohawk valley there was an enor ■ mous amount of glacial drainage car red off through the Finger lakes and over the higher passes leading into the Susquehanna valley. The stream passing through Seueca lake over the site of IVatkins and entering the Sus quehanna at Horseheads was specially noteworthy; while the marks of the glacial hoods in the Susquehanna val ley are clearly seen at Harrisburg and other places farther down. Before the ice had melted from cen Lines Show Present Lake Boundaries. t from the lower penisula of Michigan it uncovered a channel from Saginaw bay into Lake Michigan 100 feet lower than that at Fort Wayne. Whereupon the water was diverted from that channel and all carried away by the Saginaw bay. Lake Michigan and Chi cago river outlet. The shore line of the glacial lake formed at this stage of glacial recession can be traced as distinctly as a railroad embankment the entire distance from the vicinity of Buffalo around the south and west shores of Lake Erie to the head wa ters of Saginaw bay, where it opens by a perfectly distinct channel into Grand river. Euclid avenue, in the city of Cleveland, is built upon this shore line. The great drainage canal from Chicago into the Illinois has availed itself of this old outlet, the bottom of which was only about 15 feet higher than the level of Lake Michigan. Earlier glacial outlets farther west are clearly traceable from Green Bay into the Fox river and from the west ern end of Lake Superior at Duluth through the Chippewa river into the Mississippi, a little way below St. Paul. The remarkable level gravel terraces high above the lake at Du luth, so convenient for streets and drives, are the shore lines of this tem porary lake at the west end of Lake Superior. Pity and Friendship. Pity and friendship are passions in compatible with each other, and it is impossible that both can reside in any breast for the smallest space without impairing each other. Friendship is made up of esteem and pleasure; pity is composed of sorrow and contempt; the mind may for some time fluctuate between them, but it can never enter tain both together.—Goldsmith. America Their Market. Solingen is the center of the cutlery industry in the German empire. There are firms in Solingen who do not sell a pound of product in Germany. Every item produced is for American orders. For the most part the goods are for large department stores in the United States, and comprise soi-sors, knives, manicure sets and 'he like. The Frigate Bird. Wonderful powers of flight are pos sessed by the frigate bird of the trop ics. It has a spread of wing of ten feet to 12 feet, can travel 100 miles an hear and is said to be able to remain on the wing for a week at a time. LATEST STYLES Walking Costume.—Tins is a suitable style in which to make up any wool en material of not too heavy texture. Our model is in the ever useful navy serge; the seven-gored skirt has wrapped seams, stitched on the outside, pointed straps being placed inside the foot of each seam.

All kinds of fruit have a revival, peaches, plums and cherries in natural aDd fancy hues, branches of blackber ries and currants, strawberries and the small wild cherries are carelessly fastened on hat brims and crowns in a most tempting way Masses of small tieht rosebuds, placed on the sharply turned-up brims of small hats, or set closely around the beret crowns, produce an extreme ly good effect. Velvet and silk geraniums in their natural tones, set tip high conforming to ihe aigrette idea, or in garlands around the crown, are used in great quantities. Very lc ng and narrow pheasant quills and those made of lophophore plumage, slightly curving and having as a finish a head of the same or in a contrasting color, with jeweled eyes, are frequently the sole trimming of the very large sailors worn this sea son. Fuchsia is a vivid shade of great beauty, shewing the same purplish un dertone as the flower.—Vogue. POPULAR COIFFURE. The popularity of the Grecian idea in evening dress as well as in street and house costumes suggests the Grecian form of hair dressing. The large, pointed knot at the hack of the head, with the hair drawn back softly from the face, is an eminently fitting cciffiwo for the prevailing hats. Easily Made Trimmings. One of the most eff etive and the cheapest sort of trim..ting may be made hy using bias ba .ds of Arabian satin sewed up on th< machine over thick white cord. It i then twisted in different shapes, for t is very sup ple, so that it forms bow knots and cir cular designs on the ev ling or after noon gown. Of course, ire satin is too dressy to wear on a suit or morning dress, but with a coat of f.iet net a more attractive trimming could not be found. The same idea is carried cut in footing, which is shirred very full over a cord. This will sometimes take the place of braid. Another inexpensive trimming is to embroider cotton canvas in a cross stitch, which takes a very short time to do. When finished it may be ap plied in many attractive ways to sum mer gowns. Avoid Cutting Material. Where lace or embroidery insertion is used for trimming, place a flat steel or case knife between the inser tion and material, run the scissors along the steel. You will find it will be easier to cut the maternal and pre i yent all possibility of cutt.mg the lace KEEP DUST FROM PICTURES. Fine Paintings Ruined for Lack of a Little Care. Almost all pictures that hang from the walls in the rooms of our houses have their fronts protected by pane of glass, while their backs are cleaned once a week, perhaps, of the dust that daily accumulates there. In some homes it falls to the lot of framed and hanging pictures to have their backs; cleaned of an uncommon ly thick coat of dust but once every house-cleaning time. M here the dust gets through the thin crevices loft between the thin boards placed on the back of framed pictures it is sure to play havoc. In time it will spoii the picture by discol oring the cardboard mounting as well as the picture itself to such an extent as to make the photograph almost un presentable. A good picture framer will always paste a paper of good thickness and durability over the backs of frames, after the picture has been placed in it. in order to avert having the dust get in to do its destructive work. Many old and valued pictures, hand ed down through generations, which the families would not have parted with at any cost, have gone slowly to destruction through dust. The attempts to restore them came too late, as the likenesses were so far despoiled as to be unrecoverable. In many homes this work of the household demons, dust and dampness, is going on while the very persons’ who within a decade or two from to day will be lamenting the loss of their favorite pictures are looking on and even remarking at. the discoloring process. Not only is the paper pasted over the back of the frame a necessary pro tection for the picture, but it pre sents a far neater appearance. It will not eliminate the necessity of having the thin boards to hold the picture in place. These are used in order that the picture may be held flattened against the glass which pro tects the front of it. Were these boards taken off it would not be long until the picture would draw away from the glass in spots, according to the weak spots of the cardboard, making the whole present an awkward appearance. Feathers and Birds. Fine feathers do not always make fine birds; sometimes they make a little goose.—Dallas News. Tulle Ruffs. Any really good seamstress should find it possible to make one of the new tulle ruffs, which are so popular this season. It is necessary, of course, to plait the material so that it may be tacked in the middle to form the pier rot fullness. To do this plaiting it is not necessary to baste it. The best method is to fold it in the proper way and pin it in place, then, when fin ished. lay it under a heavy book until the foundation is ready. This founda tion is usually a piece of ribbon, two inches bread, and the double-plaited tulle is fastened on this in a straight line of stitching. The bow, which hangs down the back or on the side, should be attached separately, for if the end of the foundation is used, it will spoil the effect of the ruff. The best way to make a ruff is to borrow a store-made one from a friend and follow the plaiting and the way it is sewn. With net, one might use a warm iron to form the creases, but with j tulle, the iron will spoil the dressing j and take all the life from the material, so that it would be best to use a weight for creasing. Standard for Beauty. Women who are in doubt as to their claims to beauty should consult the following figures, that have been de clared correct proportions for both the tall and short woman: Short woman— Height, 5 feet 4 inches: neck, 1214 inches; bust, 36 inches; waist, 21 inches; hips. 37 inches; around the largest part of I he forearm below the elbow, 11 inches, which should gradu ally taper to 6 inches around the wrist. Tall woman—Height, 5 feet 8*4 inch es: weight. 137 pounds; bust. 36 inch es; w'aist, 25 inches; hips, 42 inches; top of arm. 14 inches; wrist, 6 inches With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt waist just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to the Iron. Business Amounts to Something. Last year Brazil needed over 20,000, 000 jute bags to hold the year's coffee production. Each bag costs the ship pers a trifle over 18 cents. The busi ness of making coffee bags thus amounted last year to nearly $4,000, 000. Try Murine Eye Remedy For Red, Weak, Weary, Watery Eves. Murine Doesn't Smart—Soothes Eye Pain.
