Making Typewriter Fit.
Time was when the sewing machine
placed through the strictures of limit
ed space In tbe sitting room presented
a problem of reconciling oe with
beauty, says the New York Sun and
Globe. Today in the small apartment
the typewriter presents the same
problem. In one small apartment tn
tower Manhattan the problem was dealt
with by the substitution of the uaual
typewriter cover by a square of rose-
colored velvet In flowing drapes. The
looseness of the cover conceals ths na
ture of the hidden object and permits
the dwellers to delude themselves that
It adds a touch of oriental mystery to
the room. If the lost cover could be
found no doubt the seductive velvet
draping would be discarded.
**Ralnlng Cats and DogV*
Old myths from Norway contain
weird tales of the influence of cats an I
dogs on the weather. As the cat rep
resented the rain, the dog was sup
posed to be the wind that accompanied
the rain. Therefore, to “rain cats and
dogs” means to rain and blow, says the
Detroit New« Tbe dog and wolf were
attendants upon Odin, the storm god.
In old German prints wind to repre
sented by the head of a dog or a wolf
from which issue great blasts. English
sailors still ssy that « rain comes when
the ship's cat to unusually frisky.
Witches were believed to assume the
form of cats and ride upon the storm.
Saracens Produced Sarcenet.
The survivors of the Spanish Sara
cen» were beaten back across tbe Medi
terranean by Ferdinand and Isabella,
but they left the sarcenet industry be
hind them. Their racial designation
remained firmly fixed as a trademark
to the cloth. The Saracen rule was s
wondrous civilization, says the Detroit
News. Among the articles of luxury
they produced was the kind of thin
silk cloth which the French manufac
turers quickly adopted, from France
the Huguenot weavers took the proc
ess of sarcenet making
England.
