Lasting happiness results from building ideals into concrete structures that minister to human happiness. The material things of the world have their worth, but even that depends upon the uses they are put to. Many a log valuable for furniture building has been used to fill swampy places over which cord-wood was hauled.

A fligltSess parrot, living on the island when it was discovered in 1810, has been exterminated by cats turned loose and allowed to run wild. Appreciated Lover's Tribute. When Jenny Llnd was In Vienna, years ago, a lover learned millinery and florlstry so that he might sew In her hat dally three red roses as a tribute to her art.

He might have sent huge baskets to her over the footlights. But his method was more delicate and Jenny Llnd was pleased. Princess Metternich, too, used to wear flowers in her hat, according to a prominent florist, who trimmed exotic millinery for her daily. Ancients Used Wire Rope. In Egypt thick beaten wire was made Into -chains as far back as the second dynasty, 5200 B.

and links doubled and looped through one another appeared In the sixth dyuasty, 4200 B. C. Yet chains were not commonly used until much later. The Oauls excelled in such work, as they used chain cables and rigging in place of rope to resist the Atlantic gales. Childish Reasoning.

Elizabeth's mother died three years ago. Recently her father also passed away, leaving ten-year-old Elizabeth the eldest of three little girls. She was placed In a girls' school, wher' she was telling the sister of her mis fortune. "God needed them," was the sister's only consolation. To which Lizzie exclaimed: "May he he did, but I think we kids needed them worse." Amazons in Uganda.

jw as Ja Aa jia Aa Let Us Quote fca. jkjtlfc jjjji Jfc Ayfc a Afc Shimmering Material Promises to Replace Popular Taffeta. Designers Have Changed Favor Fabric Quantities of Ribbon Now Being Used. In In preparing their models for autumn designers have turned to satin. In fashions we are constantly witnessing the rise and fall of favorites.

The reign of taffeta was a comparatively long one for any fabric. Now It must relinquish its place in the sjiotlight to soft, shimmering satin. Taffeta really ran too swift a pace. If so much of it had not been used we might have bad It with ns for a still longer time. Even Its practicability could not save it.

Very few taffetas are shown for early autumn. Quantities of ribbon, especially moires, are used on the satin dresses- Dressmakers appear to- have suddenly turned their attention to nioire ribbon as a trimming. In most of these satin frocks the Egyptian influence seen In the more elaborate creations of early spring is apparent. Now it is modified, taking the form of loose hanging panels and ribbon sashes placed about the Mps In perfectly straight lines; the sash is not crumpled at all. Belts consisting of "two lengths of moire ribbon finely plaited and joined to either side of a narrow ribbon belt frequently are placed altout the waistline, as such a belt would be too bulky to tie about the hips.

The preference however, is for the hip swathing glr die. Many of the black satin dresses have'girdles of the material lined with white. Brocaded crepe de chines are much in evidence. Crepe de chine, which was so popular In Paris earlier in the season, is only now being taken up to any great extent by American women. There are some perfectly charming crepe de chine dresses, dark brown in color, with large floral patterns brocaded In a shade even darker than the background itself.

These are made with low waistline bodices crumpling' about the figure and hanging very loosely, almost in blouse form, and plain skirt gathered at the bottom in harem effects. Itibhon panels falling from the neckline and caught under at the waist frequently are used. Ever so many of the black sntin dresses of trie more dressy type have these Egyptian panels made of wide ribbon and ornamented at low waistlines with jet ornaments. Long jet necklaces are sold as part of the dress to complete the costume. NAVY GEORGETTE FOR FALL Among the fashions displayed at tne recent Chicago style revue was this one of navy georgette elaborately beaded In crystal, with green, black and sliver satin girdle.

NO RADICAL STYLE CHANGES Fashion Authority Asserts General Silhouette Remains. Much the Same as in Past. Next season apparel Is now occupying the center of the stage, summer being ended as far as the designer and manufacturer are concerned. Interesting as many of the new features are, It Is but stating the facts In the case to emphasize that up. to the present no radical style changes have taken place and that the general silhouette remains much the same as during the past two or three seasons, according to a fashion authority.

The tendency Is to straight lines. continue to give the Impression if narrowness, but they actually are a (rifle wider, the extra width being let lu usually In the form of an inverted plait or two somewhere. The plait, generally in the center back, Is scarcely visible, but It' certainly gives the wearer of the frock or suit greater freedom In walking. The use of nallheads as trimming Is a feature of many fall frocks, both for street and afternoon wear. Railheads of course, are not new.

Xew meiiilicrs are chosen by the iihii-j mil tee, which inquires into the status 1 sod financial responsibility of every person nominated as a candidate for election. Every iiienilier is legally liable to the full extent of his means in other words, his liability Is unlimited. The following st a lenient describes the financial resMiiisibility of members, as given out by one of the officials of Lloyds: "All candidates for admission to underwriting membership have to deposit with the committee such security for their underwriting liabilities as the committee, in its discretion, may think fit to require.

The security, which is always in the custody of tlte committee, consists of approved first-class Investments. These Investments amount, at the present time, to upward of 4,000.000 (approximately $20,000,000) ami are supplemented by guaranties in accordance with the requirements of the (government) board of trade. The investments are held by trustees, of whom the society itself Is one. and are subjectto trust deeds which make them exclusively available for the discharge of underwriting liabilities contracted at Lloyd's. "In addition to a member's own means ami to the security which he has furnished, holders of Lloyd's policies are further protected by the fact that every member of Lloyd's must furnish annually to the committee a certificate by a public accountant approved by the committee (In a form approved by the board of trade) that his underwriting assets and security are sufficient to meet bis liabilities, and that his premiums are placed In.

trust, in accordance, with the provisions of a trust deed approved by the board of trade. Since 15)10 these obligations have ben imposed by the assurance companies net. upon all members who transact any tire-or accident insurance business, but they were In force at Lloyd's before the passing of that act. The form of audit certijj-cate is set out in the rules made by the hoard of trade under the assurance companies' act. 15)00.

July 1, 1010, when the as surance companies act came Into force, the legislature had imposed no statutory restrictions or conditions to the carrying on of fire or accident insurance business. Life assurance and employers' liability insurance business had been subject to such restrictions and conditions, the former since 1870 and the latter since 15)o7; the require ments being briefly the furnishing oi security in the form of an invested deposit, the publications of accounts and the like. What Assurance Companies Act Did. "The assurance companies act of repealed the previous acts ami consolidated all the regulations in one act. It provided that underwriters engaged in Are, accident and other non-marine business should furnish the following securities In respect to each separate year's business: "1., Unlimited personal liability of the underwriter.

"2. A sum of money secured by a trust deed and certified by Independent auditors at the end of each year, sufficient, in the light of experience, to satisfy the liabilities undertaken by the underwriter In that year. A separate guaranty or cash deposit for an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the premiums received In that year on tire and other non-marine business to be. available for the payment claims thereon should the above trust funds and all other assets of the underwriters become exhausted. This guaranty Is not a running guaranty for each year.

The guarantors are Llortl's underwriters, who are jointly and severally lialde up to the full amount of their subscriptions, the amount of each guarantor's subscriptions being limited by regulations of the committee." RATTLESNAKES KILLED In Part of Pennsylvania Thau Annas. to Be Mere Numerous 1 Rattlesnakes seem to be more numerous this year through the northeastern part of Pennsylvania. Bolnnd Neyer of Hazleton, while Ashing along the Lehigh river, killed one that had. nine rattles and a button, making the second he has dispatched so far during the summer.

s. coasin. tells iskit it ActuaiOrganization Is Understood by Few People Outside Its Membership, Even in Britain Simply an Association Which Governs fe Affairs of Its Members Lloyd's Coffee Houee, Wnere Captains Met, Gave It Birth. Something nf the origin and history of Lloyd, one the most famous British institutions, the actual organization of wnieh is uuders'wxl by few pep its membership, even in Great Hritntii. is contained in a report ly Leslie K.

Kcetl, the American consul in London, England, the New York Times observes. Lloyd's is associated in the minds of most iteople with theinsuranco of ships and cargoes and with occasional freak policies which are in the form almost of bets or wagers. The institution com prises a comprehensive system of re port ins; the movements of vessels all over the world so that the position of any particular vessel at any time can 1h with comparative ac-uracy j'roni Lloyd's. It is at the present time a corporation in form, having been Incorporated in 171 by a special act of parliament. The corporation as such does not.

however, resemble American insurance companies and it does not undertake 'nsuraiiM business. It Is Interested In he insurance business carried on nn-U Its auspices only to the same that a stock exchange Is Intereat-'d In the business carried on by Its members that is, the making of regulation to safeguard the interests of the members and of the public-Birth of Lloyd's in 17th Century. came into being In the latter part of the seventeenth century. A Distil group of people In Loudon in- eresteil in shipping were the habit of meeting at the coffee house kept by I'dnjml Lloyd, first in Tower street, after 1001. at the corner of Abchurch lane and Lombard stroot.

London. Ship cn.tains and all presons interest ed in shipping met in thin coffee house ind Lloyd, who appears to have beea a man of enterprise took advantage of the opportunity and i 1B9 started newspaper In which he gave a list of the vessels of whose arrivals and sailings he had heard. The newspaper wa called Lloyd's List, and with the exectdion of oup 3f-year interval. Lloyd's List appeariMl ever since and is still idely cin Minted in shipping circles. In 17i'0 parliament allowed two marine insurance coinpunles'to be established in London.

These were the Iioyal Kxchange Assurance corporation and the London Assarance corporation, which are nt the present time perhaps the two largest competitors of Lloyd's in marine Insurance. In 1770 the frequenters of Lloyd's coffee house, whose particular business was marine insurance, formed themselves Into ti more alliance and moved to Tope's Head alley taking with them Lloyd's List. In 1714 they removed once more, to the building known as the Royal Exchange. This building was destroyed by fire in Jan uary, 18.18, and many of the Important records of Lloyd' were lost. The building was reconsttact.d and the present Royal Exchange was opened by Queen Victoria in 144.

Lloyd's has been there continuously since that time. In 1880 parliament considered the question of marine insurance, which, until that time, hud been entirely in ti hands of Lloyd's and the two marine insurance fompunies mentioned above. A parliamentary committee ree-oimmnded that the monopoly be abolished, but the house of commons de-cldwl that Lloyd's had rendered a creat service to the country during the, Napoleonic wars by supplying the government with Information In regard to maritime matters and, with the two other companies, tf' insuring the arrival in Thai country of merchant ships and their valuable cargoes. The house commons subsequently resolved hat no alteration should he made in the situation, buMn 1820 nn act yas passed permitting marine Insurance to be effected any one, under certain regulations. Since that time many other nvtrine insurance companies have Incorporated In 1871.

Lloyd wt's Incorporated In 1871, having -ii since 1811 an association. In 15)11 mi act of parliament extended the cf the corporation and defined objects as follows: "The cunying on by members of the socict of Hie business nf Insurance of every description, Including gnnranly business, lie advancement and protection Of the Interests of members of the society In connection with the business carried on by them ns members of the society and in respect of shipping and express nd freight and other Insur-abb- property or Insurable Interests or otherwise.
