The latter is filled with romantic notions concerning man which place the poor fellow in an entirely false position. In her intercourse with him he ia ail along painfully conscious of the fact that be ia not the ideal creature her fancy paints him, and his labored attempts to adapt himself to the style of conversation she loves to indulge in ars not calculated to enhance hia enjoyment of her society.

The widow, on the other hand, discovered soma time ago that man is a good bit lower than the aDgels. She realises to tho full that her power over man depends mainly upon two points Hi his character bis egotism and hia love of the good things of this world.

The skirt has vertical tucks to the knees, the lower part being made in tbe form of a graduated flounce with two ruffles.

It ta pretty well known That Andrew Carnegie ia a muaic lorer and ia intereated in the promotion of muaic culture. To gratify his taste, he has recently placed in hi handsome residence, at Fifth avenue anil Ninety-first street, Manhattan, one of the finest organa to be found anywhere. The OuUdera were instructed to make it a house Instrument, without in any way lessening Its volume of sound or minimising the many beautiful effects which the modern cbnrch organ can produce. No limitation a to cost was fixed and the application of the moat modern ideae of conatruction waa encouraged, and the result is a really magnificent instrument. The OTgan waa ordered two yara ago and has been completed at a cost olmore than $30,006.

Tt stands in a prominent and Imposing position st the eastern end of the large hall on the main Boor. Much of the mechanism and nearly all of the 8,000 pipes are concealed from sight, only a few for ornamental purposes being la view. There are three manuals and about 180 keys and electricity ia the motive power. The organ ia so constructed as to play automatically wben such use of it is desired. There are forty-three speaking stops and the voicing of the pipes ia so varied as to permit of an unusual number of combinations in imitation of instrumental and vocal effects.

A novel feature of this organ is the possibility of playing the solo and accompaniment upon the same manual. By this use of an ingenious contrivance any note of a can be made conspicuously prominent and sustained (rvben it is so desired) although the player uses but one manual, and this effect can be prodheed with the same quality of tone for the solo as for the accompaniment. There are many modern devices in the way of couplers and combination pistons. The large pipes descend to the cellar, where the bellows and electric motor also are concealed. From Musical Lite.

What subtle fascination is it that a widow manages to exercise over the mind of man marriageable man nud which tinman iod girls seefn to be entirely devoid yof? How is it that' the widow, be she ever so plain and unattractive, always contrives to draw a host of admirers around her? Why is It that the prettiest and most amiable girl in the room has bo play second fiddle to the most ordinary of widows so long as the latter be fairly young and tolerably agreeable? It has been waggishly remarked that the widow's-have the advantage over the girls who have never been married because they know oil about the men, and the only man who knows anything about them ia dead! Tbe widows know all about the men. The widow, being well up in tbe tricks and manners of the opposite sex, knows exactly how to take them. She has mastered tbe principles of man-ology and man-oso-phy in the school of experience, and knows how to turn her learning to good account.

One man ia very much like another, so far as hia attitude towards woman la concerned; and the widow, having had an opportunity of seeing through one man, finds tbe rest of the sex almost equally transparent. She can locate their vuinera- PROVIDENT WOODPECKERS. How They Make Grab Incubators ii Dead Treea a Source of Food Supply. Real, genuine forethought is a thing with which birds are bnt seldom charged. Nature teaches her feather childrea to build tbeir nests in anticipation of the nesting time.

But that a bird should think ont severs 1 teps of a natural phenomenon and deliberately plan several weeks ahead for banquets of bird delicacies it almost too much for the most ready believer. But tbe California woodpecker, at handsome a bird as ever lived on the side of a tree, must bo given the credit of being cally a thinker a planner. Ho is a college professor nay, a logician among hia kind. A Hava you ever seen acorns on sycamore trees? la a question often put to the tourist in California. No matter what he nnswera, he is driven Into the country, and there actually ahow-n the sight acorns on sycamores.

For in many parts of tbs South, trees, both sycamore and oak, may be seen with the bark drilled full of holes and with a lire oak acorn in every hole. These tree are. thus decorated by the woodpecker at infinite -cost of labor and truly with foresight. Finding a dead tree or one with bark to his taste, the woodpecker will commence the drilling of small holes, usually in rows Each hole is made of the diameter of ones second finger and the depth of about an inch. Treea may be seen that are literally pockmarked with these holes, tbe openingi being the work of stirecmive generations of industrious woodpeckers.

The hole drilled by setwa) work of a Mil, each opening has hammered Into it a lire oak acorn. Scientists have it-hed ORIENTAL DICTATIONS. Rare Fabrics and Fashions front India in Vogne Hera for Those Who Wear tbe Newest. Oiiental and particularly Eiet Indian fashions are in vogne both for dress snd bouse decorations to such sn extent that the displays of importers of ttaet-e goods are attracting much attention at this time. Mnndarin bands, to be laid under the fronts of Eton jailtets, re especially effective now, and in great demand.

Countless fancy waits are shown, fashioned differently to follow the character of the embroidery. Bulgarian trouser legs furnish bands for shirt waists, while Bokhara embroideries sre applied in many other ways. A striking noveity is the adaptation of the mandarin's coat for a womans open DINNER DRESS. cloak. These gorgeous garments, with tbeir unique embroideries, are lined with Japanese brocade, fpeed with mandarin bands and finished with full sleeves and high collar.

One in red covers the length of the gown. Another In black flowered with red is a three-quarter cut. Blue and green wraps are also shown. There sre only half a dozen in all in the whole United States, therefore, this new whim of womankind is likely to remain particularly exclusive.

With the beak tbe nnt is started into a hole just large enongh, and not a hair's breadth too large, to receive it. Again the hammering beak is used, snd the nut is driven tieht snd fast into its place. tight are the fits often of these scorn that it is almost impossible to get them out with ones fingers. The writer has seen many unsuccessful attempts to pick out these atored-up treasures But in this where is there anythipc so wonderful? Do not many birds and insects attempt to store food for dull times? Wherein lies the forethought of the woodpecker? The truth of the matter la that when the little thinker puts an scorn in its proper, and to him expensive, hole, it is not at all because bp baa an acorn tooth. He sees a step ahead, for he know-s that worms will form in each acorn, and these worms are the ultimate object of his toils.

Holes in trees are fun to build and will keep acorns off the ground, out of reach of pigs and other natural processes of destruction. Booner or later worm will form In acorns and what food can awoodrecker have better than worms? Surely the little fellow has sound sense when he sets hi table often weeks ahead of hia feast of grubs Hs looks well ahead.
