They Cost Less Than Willow Plumes and Are Fashionable. The woman whose purse is slim and whose desires are great will welcome the fact that feathers made of fringe are fashionable. A few years ago women were sans' tied to bedeck themselves in curly os- trich feathers that measured twelve or fourteen inches, sometimes less, and were quite happy with them, but now long \willow\ plumes measure from eighteen to thirty-six inches and cost many times the amount of the small ' natural feather. These long, costly plumes beIng'out Of reach of many, a beautiful substi- tute has come to us from Paris, and these are quite easy to make at home, if you can wield a needle. For an eighteen inch plume you will require one yard and a half a wide fringe, six or eight inches deep, a piece of round silk covered milliner's wire eighteen inches long, heavy and strong, and half a yard of inch wide satin ribbon the color of the fringe. First of all, cover the wire with the ribbon, sewing it very securely and keeping the seam straight. Now to the ribbon covered wire three rows of fringe are sewed, covering the seam in the ribbon and leaving a narrow strip of ribbon to show, that will correspond to the rib on the natural feather. Having the fringe attached to the wire, one end—the top of the feather— must be bent over in a curve to re- semble the natural curve in the real feathers; then, with a heated curling Iron. the ends of the fringe are curled inward just a little way and then shaken out. until they are fluffy and as near like the real feather as it Is possible to make them appear. GOOD THINGS TO KNOW. I A mustard plaster made with th • white of an egg will not blister, whil the result will be as goad. A teaspoonful of sugar added to a can of peas, corn or string beans will greatly improve the flavor of these vegetables. Sweet oil will remove water marks from japanned trays.

The memory in savage or unculti- vated peoples is often trained to a de- gree very surprising to those civilized men and women who have grown used to depending on the written much more than on the remembered word. The transmission of whole epics, like the - Iliad,\ by word of mouth no longer seems 80 incredible when you read of the feats of memory of which present day Zulus are capable. These people have no writing and are accustomed to transmit messages and record events by memory alone. This they can do because their mental im- pressions are made especially distinct by reason of their acquired or inherited habit of giving undivided attention to the subject in hand. communications between the British authorities and the Zulu kings were al- most invariably conducted by means of verbal messages carried by natives. A certaiu ultimatum addressed by the British to Cetawayo was conveyed to him—not upon paper, but in the brain cells of the messengers whom he had sent eighty miles to receive it from the British commissioners. Although the document contained some 4.000 words and was accompanied by much comment on the state of things it was desired to remedy, the wh , 31e Was reported to Cetywayo with perfect accuracy. ---Mr. Gibson in \The Story of the Zulus.\ +++++++++++4•++++++++++++++ • t.

A COMMON ERROR. One That Is Frequently Made For Which There le No Excuse. An error which is frequently made anal for which there should be no ex- cuse save that of Ignorance is often said to be the reshlt of hurried compo- sition, but you will admit that that is less than no excuse at all. It is the use of the objective case instead of the possessive before a gerund or verbal noun ending In lug.
