7' ' • and Fallacies Vol. VII. Brushtqn, N. Y., Saturday, November 18, 1905. No. 46. ON DUTCH WATERS. f fc.e \ A Jtrnxxuey Along: & Canal Soeiwsry It Presents. I can think of no more reposeful >\ says a writer, \than to step on board of one of those barges wedged together in a Rotterdam canal and, never lifting a finger to after the natural course of events—to accelerate or divert—be carried by it to, say, Harlingen, in Friesland, between the meadows, under the noses of great black and white cows, past herons fish- ing- In the rushes, through little villages with dazzling milk cans being scoured on the banks and the good wives wash- ing and the saturnine smokers in black velvet slippers passing the time of day, through big towns, by rows of somber nouses seen through a delicate screen of leaves, under low bridges crowded with children, through narrow locks, ever moving, moving,, slowly and sure^ ly t r sometimes sailing, sometimes being towed, with the wide Ihiteh sky over- head and the plovers crying In it, and the clean west wind driving the wind- mills, and everything just as it was in Kembrandt*s day and just as it will be 500 years hence.\ Tl*e Paris \To stroll about the London streets,\ says Harper's Weekly, \3s a pastime* in Paris it is also an education. I hard- ly understand how an Englishman after a walk down the Avenue de TOpera or the Boulevard des Italiens can bear to even glance at a Bond street jeweler's. To see what \the French are doing in jewel work of ev- ery kind is to make one feel that Lon- don is not merely a generation- behind, but could not in a hundred centuries catch up.\ -Not a Question of Seasons. • \How should we get married if there were no London reason?\ asked the debutante. \Some of you would get married if you were bricked up in an ogre's cas- tle and had to be rescued/* said the American millionaire. \And ten sea- sons wouldn't marry the rest.\—-Lon- don-Boudoir. Gi?e&t Scfeeine. \He makes love to summer girls in the winter time andr to winter girls in the summer.\ \Whafs the idea?\ \Thinks they come a little cheaper when they're out of season.\—Cleve- land Leader. Read a Cento Boole? \TMs volume,\ said tlto MbliopMIe, \is a cento. It is composed of detach- ed sentences taken from the works of Thackeray. It makes a novel, sensible, but short, and it was composed lit sev- en years by a bedridden baroness. The best known cento is probably the Em- press Eudoxia's life of Christ,' made entirely of lines from Homer. There is a similar life, composed by Boss, that consists wholly of detached lines from Virgil., Centos are often very valuable. One compiled by Alexander Hamilton from Milton's 'Paradise I*osf sold not long since for $o00. The book was a history of America.\ c. k.L$ vSJSfiiAix yiSS WhzX snesaorlc* it ttffejgs «p, I*» UJJ idd fricad s o§ roa ? psrfcsSs* aa eauraryr anc svsUss e>:oa of \\swefcag djiags* bs. yowr Vhi fIdR ck u s 5 a ctm feU? £&& is a csa s £» x&rlety&o f Co * ^n aE the &d&gs that aw A? to tsss- with t&em— i cfefos e ?« <« oi2&ci*ilve*, C3f«fo«y £*\•#»$« sj) fee lamp Ss fwurti«dar!y goodf g^^S: a sites* and steady fferoe* sasfiy -**£«- laico* As a means of helping Mtlc social gatlseisssgs to fee a success, a dialing as&^tme$tialk& Have one in rout toom aid teite 3ft-V 0 *?

STARS FOR VOYAGERS. n,, i Nine tXaed by Nfevigratora to Place m- SWp's I^oca-tionu { There are nine eminent nautical stars considered by navigators. • They are important as determining the po- sition of the ship at the time? the ob- servation is taken, calculated by* their distance from the moon. The stiirs are Alpha, Arietis, the principal sitar of Aries, but of the second grade; Alde- baran, first magnitude, in the rjch as- terisibn of Taurue, easily distinguished by its red color; Pollux, 'second magni- tude*, in\ Gemini, readily known | by its companionship with the brighter Cas- tor; Regulus, a~ first class star,in the breast of Leo (hence often called Cor Leonis, the Lion's Heart); Spica Vir- gtnisj' a first class star in Virgo, re- markably conspicuous from being in- sulated in a dark surrounding field; Alpha Aquilae, generally 'known as Altaijr, first magnitude; Alpha jPegasi, second class, usually termed Narkabr Antajres, first magnitude, in Scorpio, distinguished by its fiery sedj. color; Fomalhaut, first class, in Piscjs Aus- tralis. These stars are conveniently situated with, reference to the jmoon's path and are used for taking tables of lunar distances by makers of nautical almanacs in order to enable vessel masters-to deduct their longitude. The distances of th^ center of the moon from some of the nine conspicuous starsj near the ecliptic -are computed with the utmost care for every three hour^ during the year at <3-reenwich» When on the broad ocean the najvigator finds) his position by marking when such' a lunar distance, set down ac- curately in the almanac for tjhe day and hour, occurs, as $een from his own vessel, and deduces thereby his where- abouts on the watery waste.—Milwau- kee Free Press. MADE TO ORDElR BEAUTY. Artificial JVoses, Mouth Formers and I Dimple Dentcrs. « ' The best artificial noses nowadays are made of papier mache^ enameled. Such a nose is fastened, to a spectacle frame sometimes for the sake 'of con- venience and thus may be put on or re-j moved at brief notice. * l There is - a patented contrivance, somewhat resembling a clothespin, for attachment to the nose to give? to the organ a proper taper, Another device is supposed to improve the lines of the mouth. Not a few people have no roofs to their! mouths f having been born with- out any, or in other cases having lost them by disease. For such unfortu- nates artificial mouth roofs made of galvanized rubber are furnished. There is a patented device for clean- ing the tongue, consisting of a knife with a concave edge to which a ( sort of sponge brush is attached. Whten one is not well one's tongue is liable to be disagreeably coated, but the' annoy- ance may be removed by means of the instrument described/ If you desire dimples you may wear a certain kind of wire mask at night to which are attached blunt wooden, points that'may be caused by the help of screws to press upoii the points where the dimples are wanted. Thus after awhile the dimples are made to appear. •-' , • An Old English Law. ] An act of parliament, passecjL in the reign of George III. and whicn is still in force, exempts members of the yeo- manry from the ballot for thei militia, allows them to ride through a toil bar whea in uniform without paying and also relieves them from ,-fche tax on powder for the ,hair. Such privileges were highly valued in 1804, when the act was passed; but? as yeotjxea are not now liable for tae militia ballot, as toll bars have been abolished and as hair powder is no longer ^ these favors hare ceased to nave practical value.
