a GREAT SHAKE.
An Earthquake That Upset Things Eighty
Years Ago.


One af the most violent earthquake
OF this century was that which de-
stroycd the town of New Madrid. No.
in ISL The first shock occurred De
ceulb Der I5 and was followed 10y others
Of constantly increasing violence until
February. The town stood on a bluff
fifteen or twenty feet above the sum
mcr floods. and sunk 50 low that the
next rise covered il To the depth OF five
feet The most marked phenomena,
SAYS the -. Louis Globc-Democrat. Oc-
.urrcd in the Mississippi river. the bed
# which rose. carrying great waves
which swampcd many boats and
drowned the crews. Other boats were
wrecked on Snags thrown mp from the
bottom Of the river where thcv had lain
buried for ages. The sulphurgted gases
discharged during the shocks tainted
the air and rendered the water of the
river poisonous for many days. In II.
Louis county fowls fell from the trees
- though dead; crocllrcy feU from
shelves and was broken. and the inhab-
itauts Of the pioneer settlements left
their homes in fear of being crushed.
For several years the earthquake of
1911 was known a. the great shake q"
The center Of its violence seemed 10 be
II Little Prairie. twenty-five or thirty
miles below New Madrid, although the
vibrations We're felt all over the valley
OF the Ohio and As far up as Pittsburgh.
Sand bars and projecting points OF land
Were swallowed up in the flood. with
great cottonwood trees. which were en-
tirely submerged.

woman, fashionably dressed, was a

a thoughtful air as if weighing vast pos

THE HOMElY GIRL


Whist the Term Means Here and Across
tho Water.
When we say q girl is homely wo
mean that she is the reverse of beauti-
full, Enthusiastically plain and sometimes
painfully so. Everyone understands
that when one says: Miss A Ia
very homely," shat we mean that Miss
A. would never do to pose in the pro-
fessional capacity of Mrs. Langtry or
. Lady Brooke.
In England, however, the term is in
a measure complimentary, says cor
respondent. The homely girl is the ono
endowed with all domestic virtues. She
is one that a man would desire for a
wife A quiet little creature, delighting
in the control Of servants, the intrica-
cies of household marketing, and tho
mild designations belonging to quiet
neighborhood. She is a home body in
every sense of the word; one of those
coy little women with soft, plump
cheeks, smooth hair, and rounded out
lines that a man always imagines as sit
ting opposite him at the table or bend
ing over bit Of sewing in the mellow
lamplight.
If we want to tell Britisher that q
girl is not good-loolxing we must not
say that she is hoinely, but plain or
ugly. The English language means
very different things in different places,
and homely is only one of the terms
that our cousins across the Atlantic do
not understand when they issue from
American lips =
