The White Hearse.

''lsn't it pretty2" said little old man
as he wheeled a baby carriage to a
place where u reporter was sitting in
the park.
'ltmust be pretty" said the report
er, looking into the carriage and seeing
tiny creature, snugly nesting in
downy nest, with its face covered with
delicate lace veil.
The little old man was delighted, his
little old chin went twit-a-twit-a-twec.
and he chirped like a bird.
'"They keep its face covered, ," lie said
with sigh, "since the little white
hearse drove away from the house the
other day. But !"
The little old man stopped and looked
all around with his little twinkling
eyes.

80 very. very pretty"
And the little old mans chin apai,,
went twit-; twit-a-twee
They will DC angry" he continued,
''but Pm SO proud of its pretty face

Suddenly the little old man took the
lace that covered the baby's face in hs
trembling fingers, and the reporter pre-
pared to burst into exclamations of de-
light, even If the face should prove to be
the iloIneliest face in the world.
"Musn't," a little child said, coming
from behind the bushes and Selling the
coat'tail OF the little man. "Dalpa

''rhe flies will annoy Rose" gentle
girl OF II said, joining the group and
carefully replacing the lace.
Close observation showed a tear
trembling in the girls eye as the little
old man wheeled away the carriage with
the little child dancing by his side.
"Oh, it's such deception!' she ex-
claimed, burying her face in her hand.

tinucd, "and we are afraid to tell grand

Just then the little old man paused

and came back to where the girl was
seated.

whispered:
"What was it," he asked "that they

The poor girl turned away her face
"FloWcrs, she said; ''only flowers,

81 wonder," tho little old man
mused, 'why they all turn their faces
away when they tell me what they car

Then he went to the carriage again
and chirped like the merry little old
man that he was.
FLOWERS, only flowers" the reporter
heard him murmur, as he wheeled the
doll away.

a very pretty amusement, espec-

the study Of botany is the taking of
leaf photographs. One very simple pro.

this into pint bottle of water. When
the solution becomes ssaturated-that is.

pieces the same siZe) and with spring

that the rays will fall upon it as nearly

it requires from half an hour to sever

When it has become dark enough, take

Tho ISiiio Match,

The defeat Of the American Rifle
Team by the British volunteers was
expected, and the slight lead they OBJ
tanned i'll the first days shooting did
not awaken hopes of Il different result,
among rillemcn, at least. They were
believed to be stronger than the British
rlilcmen at the shorter ranges, but
were known to be weaker at the long
ranges. The result of tho match was,
indeed, rather gratifying than other
wise. The Americans did much bet
ter than year ago, Notwithstanding
the bad weather. The most difficult
range that was shot over is the 200
yard, whore the rilemen are required
to shoot from standing position at an
eight inch bulbs eye. At the longer
ranges the BULBS eye is much larger,
and lying down positions may be as
sumed which give greater steadinesA
at the 200 yard range, the Americans
led and beat their score of last year,
the British team just holding its own
AT the 5O0-yard range the Americans
fell off three points and the British two
points, as compared with last year. At
500 yards the Americans gained six and
the British one over last year. The
weather Of the second day was evident
ly very bad, the scores Of both teams
falling off at all but the 800-yard range,
where the Americans gained 50 largely
as to beat the Volunteers. The net
result Of the match was that the Amer
leans gained 101 points over last year..
while the British lost "a points. AS
suming that the latter's loss may be
ascribed to the bad shooting weather,
the American gain is relatively greater
than that shown by the figures. From
this point Of view they can be said to
have done very well, although they
wore beaten. The match was with
military rifles, under military rules,
and probably the chief reason for the
superiority of the British marksmen
is that they have been praeticing for
several years with the weapons they
used, while the Americans are armed
with new guns, made for the match,
with which they have had less than ono

And drops from the toiling band,
If fear and doubt put his soul to rout,
Then lend him q holping hand.
Cheer up his heart with words of hope,
Nor season the speech with gall;
In the great highway, on the busiest day,
There's room enough for all.
If a man with the tread Of pioneer
Stops out on your track ahead,
Don't grudge his start with an envious

For the mightiest once were led.
But grid your loins for the coming day
Let nothing your heart appall-
Catch up If you can with the forward man,
There Is room enough for all.
And If, by doing your duty we'll,
You should get to lead the van.

But come ont an honest man.

Quick as Lightning.

This is a phrase chosen to illustrate
an lnconceivable rapidlty, but Of those
who use the expression probably very
few appreciate it's full meaning, for Sir
Charles Wheatstone has shown that a
flash Of lightning lasts less than mil
lionth part Of q second. This is vastly
more rapid than our conception Of the
flash, and ut least one-tenth Of a second
must lapse-according to Professor
Swan--before our sluggish sight can
take in the full effect Of the light. On
account Of the slowness Of our percep-
tion, we never SEQ the light at its real
intensity. Professor TAFT has suggested
that the full brilliancy must be in somo
degree comparable with the sun, as
Wheatstone's and Swans data prove
that it's apparent brightness Of the land
scape as lit up by lightning flash is
less than -thousandth part
Of what it would be were the lightning
permanent. The apparent brightness,
1t should be mentioned, was shown by
Swan to diminish in about the ratio
borne by the length Of time the flash
lasts to the timo required for us to per-
ceive 1T.

"A Real Nice Girl.

/ saw a girl come into a street car
the other day, though, who had, was
ready to bet, made her own dress, and
how nice she did look, She was one of
those clean, trim girls you see now and
then. She was about 18 years old, and
to begin with, looked well-fed, healthy
and strong. She looked as though she
had a good sensible mother at home.
Her face and neck and ears and her
hair were clean absolutely clean.
How seldom You see that. There was
no powder, no paint on the smooth,
rounded cheek or firm dimpled chin;
none on the moist red lips; none on the
shell-tinted, but not too small ears;
none on the handsomely set neck
rather broad behind, perhaps, but run
ming mighty prettily up into the tightly
corded hair. And the harl 1t was of
IL light chestnut brown and glistened
with specks of gold rs the sun shone on
1t, and there was not smear of oil or
not spear astray about it, and not a
pin to be seen in it. AS the girl came
in and took her seat, she cast an easy,
unembawassed glance around the car,
from a we'll opened gray eye, bright
with the inimitable light of good con-
dition," such as you see in some hand
some young athletes who are ''in train
ing" There were no tags and ends,
fringes, furbelows or 1luttering ribbons
about her closely fitting but easy suit
OF tweed, and, as she drew Off one
glove to look in her purse for small
coin for fare, noticed that the gloves
were not new, but neither were they
old; they were simply well kept, like
the owner and their owners hand
which was a solid hand, with plenty Of
muscles between the tendons and with
strong but supple fingers. 1t would
have looked equally pretty fashioning a
pie in home kitchen or folding a band
age in hospitable. 1t was q hand
that suggested at the same time wo
manljness and work, and / was sorry
when it found a iive-cent piece and had
been regloved. One foot was thrust
out q little upon the Stats Of the car
tloor-a foot in good walking boot
that might have FLASHED through rain
storm without fear of damp stockings
and an eminently sensible boot on q
two and One-half foot with high in
step, q small round heel, and a pretty
broad tread. The girl was a picture
from head to foot as she sat erect, dis
daining the support Of the back Of the
seat, but devoid Of all appearance of
stiffness. Perhaps the whole outfit to
be seen, from hat to boots, did not cost
$40; but / have seen plenty of outfits
costing more than ten times or even
twenty times that, which did not look
one-tenth or even one-twentieth as
well. If our girls only knew the beauty
: OF mere simplicity, cleanliness and
health, and their fascination
