She Injured Her Pride.

young woman who had just fallen down

she brushed off her gown and got out of

fall that she will hurt herself rather than
to have all the ignominy for nothing.

The car has been frequently accused
of cowardice-an indictment to which,

sometimes organize the crime which they
discover, have contributed to impart con-

TIE GIRL OE lie PERIOD.
She Has Fortitude UnbOunded, Yet Now
IncIines to Pensive Ways.

IncllneS To PenSlVe ways.
There seems to be a mode in maladies
as we'll as in mantles, styles in suffering
as novelties in dress. just at the present
time it ism t fashionable to have any phys
zeal ailment unless it is something vague
and peculiar under the general name of
NERVES" and the odd thing about it is
only the more robust and vigorous wom-
en-, so far as looks are an indication of
0irility, that have this nervous prostra-
ton perpetually on hand. If woman
looks pale and delicate, she never will ad-
NIT that she is not strong.
The fin de steele girl glOries in bearing
physical pain without complaint. She
will seat herself in the dentists or ocu-
lists chair as unconcernedly as if posing
for the photographer and submit to the
most painful operations without a groan;
in fact, assuring the operator that it
really was less painful than she expect
ed" A car driver would cry like baby
if subjected to half as much suffering.
But we are returning to the days of
sloping shoulders. of parted pensiye
tresses, of fullness and frivolity in dress.
The up to date girl is sweetly submissive,
not smart and self reliant. She wears
flowers in her hair and occasionally even
ventures in what the girl in the old nov
els is always doing, putting rose in her
bosom, your rose that you have given
her. And she does it with such a shy
and modest little blush. Now the ques-
ton is, Will the ''vapors'' and 'swoons"
and "sobbings" of that period come in

lines of that day were always in dead
faint over something. They tainted for
Joy and tainted for sorrow. A girl of
that time swooned off when her lover
proposed. and when she came to she was
always lying i'll his arms, and of course
it was all over AMI no use trying to tell
a fellow about being sister to him after
that
There was another feature about this
swooning fit of the old time heroine, and
that was that her dearest friend was al
ways within call with the scissors to cut
her corset laces. How is any one in this
time of hidden hooks ever to loosen a
bodice before the heroine passes over the
border line in her faint? 1t will be rather
difficult for the modern girl, who has
trained herself to smile when her heart
breaks, to die rather than reveal her heart
to conceal her joy and preserve her Sc
renity alike through death or divorce, to
learn this graceful art of collapsing at
just the proper time to bring IA wary
sutton to his knees.
There's something dangerous to a
chivalrous mans theories against mar
rage to find himself suddenly with his
arms full of limp, signing, pale faced girl
hood. He is more apt to call her pretty
names than he would be if she stood radi-
ant and defiant before him, apparently
ready to laugh at his endearments.-New

Cannot Catch Gladstone.

One hears various stories of the clever
ness displayed by Mr.. Gladstone in elud-
ing inconvenient questioners, but the
following, which is perfectly authentic,
strikes London correspondent as being
quite the best of the bunch. The other
evening some earnest young Radicals
were invited to meet the prime minister
They naturally longed to discuss the po-
litical situation with him and to receive
some advice for their guidance. Mr..
Gladstone, however, descanted with great
eloquence on the proper place in the
church for the organ.
Then there was short lull, and the
boldest of them pulled himself together
and propounded a somewhat hesitating
question on home rule, or about it. The
old parliamentary hand either did not
hear or affected a convent at deafness.
Before the sentence could be repeated
Mr.. Gladstone was deep in learned az
gument with n clergyman present upon
hymns, ancient and modern. The re-
mainder of the company sat in silence,
with feelings that can be easier imagined
than descriDed.-Philadelph Press.

Are the Andes Sinking?

The startling announcement is
made that the whole range of the
Andes is slowly sinking into the
earth's crust. AS proof of this La
Gazette Geographique says that Quito
was $3.50 feet above the level of the
sea in the year 1745; in 1900 it was
only 8, $50; in 1881, 1867, having sunk
70 feet in the So years following 1745,
and but 3 feet during the 81 years
which interviewed between 1900 and
1881.
In 1868 the city's level had been re-
duced to $3.50 feet above the level of
the Pacific ocean. To sum up the
total, we find that Ecuador's capital
has sunk rs feet in 122 years. Anti
rana's farm, the highest inhabited
spot on the Andes $4,000 feet higher
than Quito itself, which is the highest
real city on the globe, is said by the
same authority to be 219 feet lower
than it was in 1745.

in voice disguised Soon he looked
toward the house, making with his

His wife ran out at once and fed

She just stood there, her blue dress
bathed i'll sunshine, and threw from
her white apron the nandfuls of corn

The Potent Hawaiian Pick-me-up.

Poi is made from the root of the tago
plant. The tago grows in the water, and
its broad leaves float upon the surface.
1t has a root very similar to the turnip,
but of more elongated form. 1t is pre-
pared by grating it upon slightly hol-
lowed volcanic stone upon which water
is poured from time to time. The whole
eventually forms a paste, which under
goes a slight fermentation and is pleas
ant to the taste. There is a drink on the
islands known as poi cocktail" 1t is
made by stirring the paste into glass Of
milk. Its virtues were discerned many
years ago by Europeans. For the head
which follows nights debauch there is
nothing like it.
When the stomach absolutely refuses
anything known to civilization; when
the throat is dry and burning. the voice
husky, the temple throbbing and the
hands shaking. the poi cocktail is swal-
lowed. 1t is almost instantly assimilated.
A delicious feeling of calm and rest
steals over the patient. The paste COW
ers the inhamed walls of the stomach
and protects them. The throat becomes
once more of flesh, not fire. and the head
ceases to ache in 10 minutes. Pittsburg

Science as a Factor In Agriculture.


You all know the importance of
hygiene in society for securing the
health of men and then of animals,
and even of plants. Its function. long
misconceived, is conspicuous now in
all eyes, and it is one of the triumphs
of science that it has been able TO
prolong the duration of human life,
to secure immunity of our domestic
animals against epidemics and to ex
tend its protection against the dis
eases which are destroying our field
products and are threatening the an
initiation of agricultural crops.
But the preservation of the products
is not all. We need also to learn how
to multiply productive beings, and in
this field, too, science has, by the ap
plication of methods of selection,
realized most marvellous progress in
agriculture.--P. E. NJ. Berthelot in
