Female costume in the tenth century was classical in its simplicity. The women wore long, loose, flowing skirts reaching to the feet and a draped "cote," or upper garment. Chaucer, who died in 1400, when Henry IV. was king. frequently uses the word cote.

In the "Canterbury Tales" he depicts the sergeant-at-law as wearing a "medley cote," which no doubt means a coat of many colors, while the miller he describes as wearing "a whyte cote." It was in the fourteenth century that the word "gown" first came into use. An anonymous author in no mild words finds fault with the fashion of his days. He writes that "the commons were besotted in excess of apparel, in wide surcoats reaching to their loyns, some in a garment reachIng to their heels, close before and strowting out on the side, so that on the back they make men seem women, and these they call by a ridiculous name- gown." As early as the twelfth century women's cotes were made with trains, and to the first quarter of the thirteenth century a bishop moralizes early on their vanity for wearing trained cotes, some of which contained seven ells and a Westminster Gazette. TIBURON ISLAND. Its Waters Are Literally Swarming With Ferocious Sharks.

Less than three thousand miles from the city of New York and about a third of that distance from San cisco there is situated, in the upper reaches of the gulf of California, a small island, worthless even for SO mean a purpose as the raising of goats, but nevertheless a center of attraction for the ethnologists and archaeologists of the old and new worlds for many generations. This rocky peak, rising from the quiet waters of the gulf, is known as Tiburon island. Tiburon is a Spanish word which, translated into English, means shark." The waters around the islet are literally swarming with these tigers of the sea, and the inhabitants of the island are said to be no less 1 te rocious than the sharks. Tiburon 1s peopled with a handful of Indians, 1 the only aborigines of their kind in the world, known as Seris. They are reputed to be cannibals, to be so fierce that none of the mainland tribes of Mexican redskins ever dare invade their shores and to possess the secret of manufacture of a peculiarly deadly poison with which they prepare their arrows before World Magazine.

Victoria de Bunsen in "The Soul of a Turk" relates a legend concerning Abraham which will be new to many readers. She learned of it while at Edessa, the traditional Ur of the Chaldees. She was shown there a large oblong tank of water so filled with fishes resting just below the surface of the water that their fins and backs seemed almost wedged together so as to form "an almost solid layer of silvery life." "The guardian of the mosque throws some meal into the water, and the fish jump high to catch it, a great living pyramid, of which those which jump the highest form the pinnacle. The tradition is that Abraham as a child fished in the tank; hence the fish were considered sacred. No single one has been caught or killed to this day.

Indeed, death would overtake the man who transgressed this law." Protection From Lightning. Sir Oliver Lodge stated that the problem of securing protection from lightning consisted in finding the best method of dissipating the enormous energy of the flash, but that it was not wise to get rid of the energy too quickly. A thin iron wire is considered the best lightning conductor from the electrical point of view, but it is almost impossible to protect a building from lightning unless it is completely enveloped in a metal cage. It is by no means true that a building is safe when provided with a conductor reaching up to the highest part of the building. The Origin of Grocer.

Grocer appears in Holinshed's Chron1cle, 1580, as "grosser," and in other medieval records it is sometimes written "engrosser" and was applied to the spicers and pepperers who were wholesale dealers in various spicesthat is, who dealt en gros- large quantities, as distinguished from "regrators," who were retail dealers. The Grocers' company first adopted the word grocer in 1373, when the spicers and pepperers allied themselves into a single -London Express. Agreed With Her. Tramp (at the door) If you please, lady- Mrs. Muggs (sternly) -There, that will do.

I am tired of this everlasting whine of "Lady, lady." I am just a plain woman, and- TrampYou are, madam, one of the plainest women I've ever seen an' one of the honestest to own up to it. Mrs. Benham -Every time I sing to the baby be cries. Benham-He gets his ability as a musical critic from my side of the house. -New York Press.

Mrs. Mark Hardin's gracious hospitality was enjoyed by members of the Corona Club and invited guests on Wednesday. An excellent opportunity was afforded for town people to become acquainted with their neighbors out of town.

Friendly intercourse prevailed and there was no lull in the conversation. In due time a local lady read a poem characteristic of some club women, in some places, but not in Petaluma, and the poem elicited applause.

A mammoth pumpkin shell decorated with an artistic wreath was placed in the hall and every lady tested her skill by tossing, or endeavoring to toss, rosy apples therein. Two local ladies succeeded in depositing three each, thus making a tie. In the last analythe beautiful prize was awarded to Mrs. George Gill for her skill. When the ladies were comfortably seated around the tables crab salad, pumpkin pie, delicious cakes with baby biscuits and coffee regaled their appetites.
