She was most grateful and confided to
her betrothed, who was at a distance, her
desire that only "the dear DOCTOR" the
master of the college, should perform their
wedding ceremony. The student recovered
and was now to accompany his sister home,
there to be nursed into vigor again.
The doctor was present to say goodby
and the young lady was full of gratitude.

Tho Evolution OF the sword.

AS men in early times fought hand to
hand, the Oldest specimens of. the sword
are short; in fact, the sword is probably
but an evolution of the club, which at
frst made of hard wood was gradually
sharpened on one and then on both sides,
50 as to infiict more deadly wound.
Even today we find some savage races
employing wooden weapons. Wood
gave way to stone, which in turn was
displaced by bronze, iron and finally
steel.
The sword increased in length as men
became more civilized and showed a dis
position to fight farther away from each
other, which required more dexterity in
the use of the weapon. Some specimens
we have of swords of the Middle Ages are
almost if not quite as long as the war
riors who welded them During the
Fifteenth century the science of fencing
was invented, when the sword in the
form of a rapier reached the highest
point of deyelopment.-Kat Fields

The Amateur Actre...

We had rather throw aside this pen
forever than to write word to discour-
age any woman who is conscientiously
striving to earn position on the stage;
but there are other women-some in the
profession, some in the audience-to
whom it is grossly unfair to put forth an
inexperienced amateur as a star. Con-
slider, ladies and gentlemen, what a poor,
miserable art that OF acting would be If
anybody could acquire it in few les
sons, In year or SO, from a private box
across the footlights TO the center of the
stage. 1t takes longer time to learn to
be a carpenter or to play piano, to be
a dressmaker or to paint picture, to be
a typewriter or to cut hair properly,
than amateurs who are now willing to
bestow upon the art which includes, en-
ploys and dignifies all other arts from
statuesque posing to wig wearing. If
acting could be taught in day it would
