why She Smiled Upon Him.
[Chicago Times.1


Ernestine Wegner, the "queen of soubrets,"
and darling of Berlin and the Fatherland,"
is dead. Her most famous role was that of
the young huzzar in "Our Youngest Lieuten,
anti and with it characteristic little story
is connected When she first went to Berlin
her theatre was crowded every night by the
Young men of the Royal huzzars, then quart
cred there to see her in this play And Of
course many of them sought her acquaint-
ance but in vain. She would not allow one
of them even to be introduced to her. But
after a few weeks she suddenly accepted the
attentions of one--the youngest and vainest
coxcomb of them all For a fortnight she
permitted him to be almost constantly by her
side, and Of course with each day he grew
more vain of his own charms, which had, as
he fondly fancied, achieved for him q signal
triumph where so many of his comrades had
failed.
But he was in fools paradise. One day
she bade him go to the theatre that evening
to see her in a new role, which she had been
studying ever since she had the extreme fe-
licity of making his acquaintance. He went;
he saw, and he collapsed For in the pitiless
glare of the footlights he saw-himself! His
pet attitudes, grimaces, intonations, manners,
style, conceited airs, were caricatured with
torturing fidelity, while his one-time envious
rivals screamed with unhallowed glee at his
discontinue, and Ernestine Wegner's bright
ewes cleaned with the maddest mischief that
ever had illumined the Berlin stage.

How to Make q Bed.
rPhiladelnhia Press


Let every bed maker, as soon as all the
covers are spread, turn down the upper
sheet, and all above it, leaving a generous
margin below the bolster Some people,
you know, put all the covers straight up to
the top and lay the bolster upon them, so
that when bedtime comes the bed must be
rearranged at the head. Boys don't like this
way, and perhaps some other folks don't,
either. 1t is the custom to pile two big,
square pillows on the top Of the bolster, and
then put on two pillow-shams, and then,
sometimes, or perhaps before the
pillow-shams a sheet-sham This is
setting trap for the unwary.
Only remarkably careful woman is equal
to the task Of getting off all the 'fnery' prop
erly Why not almost, if not altogether,
abolish shams of all kinds? Why not hon.
estly take off the big square pillows and
supply every bed with comfortable bolster
to take the place of pillowss If you Like

and sheets themselves without any make-be
ieve. Silk, lace and the like seem out o.

self into the midst of a fairy creation OF pinl
satin and torchonl Let the beds be what
they look like, and let them look like
what they are-real resting-places.

Such, in the rough, is "solar myth" and
this Smith myth illustrates the proper scien-
tific method of its construction. 1t is very
pretty, and, when applied to Mother Goose,
Robin Hood, and the manifold marvels of
Hebrew literature, it's results are simply
astonishing. The "solar myth" is an invalu-
able instrument in the apparatus of modern
biblical criticism.

THE "SOLAR MYTH"
A Rough but Suggestive ILLUSTRATION
Of Its Scientific Construction.
rHartford Co11rant


To call something "solar myth" is to in
vest it with good deal of dignity and OBJ
scurity 1t affords nearly as satisfactory an
explanation of remarkable passages in the
bible as the phrase "cosmic dust" does of the
glowing western skies which our eyes have
wonderingly admired Of late.
1t is our duty and privilege to dispense in
formation. Concerning "cosmic dust" we
are not prepared just now to speak, but,
having discovered what "solar myth" is, we
cheerfully proceed to enlighten the public
A solar myth is q story. Mrs, Harris was
one The recipe is simple. Take an impor-
tant or unimportant historical parsonage Of
more than a century ago, and find other ones
like him in different lands. Mix well to-
gether, find discreditable details about them,
and serve up hot For instance: John Smith
loved Jessie Brown. So did Tommy Black
These things being thus, the latter punched
the formers head, and fractured the base Of
his skull, so that he died. Jessie went to the
funeral in red petticoat, and drove back
from it with Tommy sBlack, fainting in his
arms in a jaunting-car. Very well. Now
comes in the Max Muller mythical element.
In the Danish legend the female character
wears her red kirtle and comes home in a

she walks over the sea in the evening, shod
with golden sandals. The Chinese romance
of 'Je-se-bro-ne,' is in twelve quarto vol
umes written long-ways down six columns on
each page Of thin rice paper, but it all comes
to the same thing. The explanation Of the
parable is SO perfectly obvious lit always is,
you know, that the meanest intellect though
he be hide-bound Christian believer, can
not fail to perceive it; especially when COM
manded to do SO, on pain of being pro-
nounced an utter idiot by some peremptory
solar mythologist,
Jessie Brown--Jasya Brasua-Je-se-bron ne
poor girl, is the evening red, or the dawn,

is, naturally, the night, and in some varieties
the Smith myth takes the female form. The

Through from 11exlcn CITY,

CHICAGO, March 29.-The first train from
the City of Mexico pulle into Chicago, the
journey having consumed five days and SIX
teen hours. Thirty young Mexicans, in
charge of Father Zahni, left at once for
Notre Dame, most of the other passengers,
departing by early trains. Senior Velasco,
chief of the railway bureau Of Mexico,
states that he is well satisfied with the mar
ner in which the Central road has been con-
structed. Regular traffic will commence
next Wednesday, an accommodation train
leaving the capital each morning and a
through train at night, the latter making the
run in about fifty-two hours. The death OF
Director Guzman caused the plan for grand
national celebration to be abandoned.

The DisaGreeabie Woman.
lillian WHITING

AS a general thing it is the woman who has
been in one way or another disappointed in
life, who becomes failure in the way of
friendship. From the wreck of personal am
bition she has saved only unfulfilled hopes.
She feels herself largely the victim of circum-
stances She is conscious of the powers that
with a very little different combination
would have wrought out a wholly different
life, and she holds all her social circle respon-
sible for it. She feels herself to be the peer
of reigning social powers, and very likely she
is, and is even their superior in many things.
Yet the perpetual centripetal force of her ma
ture has limited her to a narrow sphere, and
she vainly blames society for that note OF
failure which is Inherent in herself.
1t is this type of woman who comes to de-
velop capacity for saying disagreeable
things. They are nothing to relate, mere
pin-pricks; but, like those, they make you
correspondingly uncomfortable. For direct
insult there is always direct redress; for the
person who merely says occasional disagree
able things there is only one of two ways;
either to be so generous and magnanimous
as TO utterly neutralize and ignore it, or else
to drop the outward form of intercourse and
relieve yourself from the annoyance. The
former way is the better. Nine times out of
ten the woman who is disagreeable is merely
disappointed and unhappy and needs tender
ness rather than recrimination Sweetness
and light will neutralize acid and shadow,
and thus helping you shall yourself be helped,
and rise to q higher plane of life forevermore.

[E. Clarence Stedman in The Independent.
Look on this cast, and know the hand
That bore nation in its hold;
From this mute witness understand
What Lincoln was-how large of mold
The man who sped the woodman's team,
And deepest sunk the plowman's share,
And pushed the laden raft astream,
Of fate before him unaware.

The ax-since thus would Freedom train

And drove the wedge, and toiled amaln.

A conscious leaders, will obeyed,
And, when men sought his word and look,
With steadfast might the gathering sWayed

Nor minstrels laid across a lutte;
A chiefs, uplifted to the Lord,
When all the kings on earth were mute!

The fingers that on greatness clutch,
Yet, 10! the marks their lines along

Forsomething of formless grace
This nodded outline plays about;
A plying flame beyond our trace,
Breathes like spirit, in and OUT

Round one who, longer to endure,
Called mirth to ease his ceaseless dole,
Yet kept his nobler purpose sure.
Lo, as gaze, the statured man,
Built up from yon large hand, appears:

But once in all a peoples years.

What Women are Doing.

Other things being equal, an industrious
woman can find profitable work to do as
easily as an industrious man. In fact, no
change of recent years is more noticeable
than the enlargement of what used to be
called "woman's sphere" The Sphere" is no
longer merely the nursery and the school
room, but the whole globe, bless you. This
increase is strikingly shown by comparison
of the last three censuses. In 1860 only 27O,-
S97 women and girls were employed by man.

number had become 1913, no, and in 1880

The manufacture of artificial feathers gives
employment to more than 5000 women; 600
are engaged in bookbinding, at which only
5000 men are employed; $4,000 do work in
shoe factories; $4,000 manufacture mems
clothes professionally, in addition to the mill
ions who do this kind of work at their own
homes. 1t is somewhat surprising that more
women are engaged in making mems clothes
for the market than in making women's
clothes, the latter being only $4,000 in the
