The word "verdigrls" is commonly ey-
planned in English dictionaries as meaning
literally either green of gray (French
vert de gris-"so called from its color be-
tween green and gray" Richardson), or
"green of brass" Low Latin viride aeris).
The latter term Skeat Concise Etymolog-
ical Dictionary, 1892 states to have been
1.-The usual name in alchemy" for verdigris.
Littre, who quotes Is. V. vert de gris) the
ancient forms verte gree (thirteenth CEN
tury) and vert de grice fourteenth century,,
says, La forme Ia plus ancienne est verte
gree, qui pue-etre dot Sc decomposer en-
vert aigret, lie verd produit par raigre,
racide." Skeat says doc. Cit }, Vert gree
is literally green grit a substitution, as 1
think, for old French verderts, verdigrease,
Cot, (he correct form)."
NJ. Paul Meyer has now no doubt about
the identity of vert de girls" with vert de
Greece" In a note on the foregoing pas
sage, he speaks of the vert there mentioned
as being sans doute lie vert de girls on YER
Diet, substance colorante que Pon faisail
originairement venir de Greece Vert de
girls signifie proprement vert de Grece.' ,"

HOW TO REACH A RIPE OLD AGE.
Travel Constantly on Railways and Wait
For Death In an Accident.


II man take a ride of the average
length, which is almost "a miles, in a rail
way train in this country, what is his
chance of getting killed. According to the
interesting report of the interstate COM
merce commission just out, it is one chance
in ,491 ,910. If n young man of 20, Tilted by
his sweetheart, should determine to COM
NIT suicide without sin by getting acct
dentally killed in a railway accident he
might do it. Certainly he might do it.
If he were to get on a train as passen-
ger and ride, ride, ride at the rate of 3516
miles an hour, day and night, every hour
of every day and every day in the year, if
he had average luck, he would eventually
get surcease from the gnawing pain at his
heart somewhere in the course of passing
over 81, 542, 2S2 miles, for, according to these
official figures, one passenger Is killed for
every 35, $40 ,2S2 miles that passenger is
carried.
According to the same, he would be in
jured in some way 81 times or eight times
and bad scare 1t is a little better than
one chance in three that he would come to
an untimely grave in consequence of col
lision, but if he preferred to have the train
run off the track to kill him he would have
only one chance in nine to be satisfied.
His possible journey would have taken
him around this weary world and past the
place where she went to housekeeping with
the other fellow ,42l times, and would
have cost him, at the rate of 3 cents mile
and $3.50 night for sleeping berth,
81 ,0S7, 016.4S. In this melancholy state of
mind he wouldn't care how his shoes
looked, and the porter needn't disturb his
grief for daily quarter.
And when, after all his journeying to his
death, and glowering out of the window at
every unsympathetic rock that might have
fallen before the engine, and cursing every
vagrant browsing COW that might have
trespassed on the track and didn't, he finds
at length ''the golden key that opens the
palace of eternity" it is n bigger chance
than there are figures for that he will not
be ready to 90.
For the scenery of this world becomes in
teresting after awhile, even to one smitten
with disappointment and angry with all
creation. There are many pretty acquaint-
ances to be picked up in the course Of
long journey also, and time is great healer
of lovesickness, even though a slow one.
He would be in his one hundred and thirty
fifth year by the time his desperate purpose
was achieved, and he would have more
sense than he started with.
He would have had leisure to reflect from
time to time on how his false sweetheart's
false teeth became hernow How her rheu-
matism was, whether gray hair and spec
tacles changed her much, and how she
managed with those grcat-grandchildren of
hers.-Pittsburg Times.

Women Who Smoke Cigarettes.

Women will smoke cigarettes If they
wish to, and no argument against the lit
tie vice will stop them. Only one reason
for it's REIMBURSEMENT can move them, and
that appeals to their vanity. A cigarette
smoking woman eventually loses her COM
plexion, and the color Of her teeth changes.
In this age, when beauty and health are
considered cardinal possessions, it is queer
that young girl is willing to run the risk
of running both by silly freak. A num-
Der of Boston women are known to smoke,
but they do so under the rose and hope
perhaps the effects will not be observed.
Don't flatter yourselves, mesdames. A to-
bacco expert has only to sit opposite you
in street car to know what you can do
in the cigarette line. Piquant' Very,
and also offensive to men who believe in
the sweet personality of woman.-Boston

Candle Power Of Searchlights.

Mr.. G. p. Steinmetz of the General Elec-
trio company, in The Electrical World,
states that the method of computing the
candle power of searchlight, by which
it is made to reach q high figure Of sew
eral hundred millions, is upon strictly
scientific basis and entirely correct. AS
Stunning that the parabolic reflector sub
tends an angle of approximately 100 de-
grees, the whole column of light given
out by the crater within this angle is re-
Elected within the narrow angle Of diver
gence Of the reflected beam of, say, de-
grees; that means that the light is concen-
trated in the proportion of the squares Of
the angles 100 degrees and 2 degrees-that
is, 5000 times-consequently, neglecting
the losses, the intensity Of a beam Of a
searchlight compared with the simple arc
light is 5000 fold. Assuming that the
candle power of direct arc averages Co.
600 in the angle subtended by the reflect
ors, the candle power of the reflected beam
would be 10000 multiplied by 5000,
equaling 216, 900, 900. Such are the inten-
sites of our modern searchlights.

LOVE IS NOT BLIND.

Love is not blind Loves eyes are
keen to see that which is worth seeing
in the object OF love; And if, indeed,
any habit or defect which can be cor
rected, loves eyes can see that also,
and loves heart will be prompt to
such counsel or action as is wise for
the safety and gain of the one loved.
Love does, however, look at the best,
and not at the worst, in its object of
devotion; and it is right that this
should be SO. While love is not blind
to the faults or failures of Il loved one,
loves eyes are not fixed ON those de
fects or errors, to the ignoring of that
which is lovely and admirable. And
here is where human love shows it's
likeness to Divine love.

TnROTGH ETEE.

We slight the gifts that every season bears,
And let them tall unheeded from our
grasp,
In our great eagerness to reach and clasp
The promised treasure of the coming years !;
Or else we mourn some great good passed
away,
And, in the shadow of our grief shut in,
Refuse the lesser good we yet might win,
The offered peace and gladness of to-day.
So through the chambers of our life we
pass,
And leave them one by one, and never
stay,
Not knowing how much pleasantness there
In each, until the closing of the door
Has sounded through the house, and died
away,
And in our hearts we sigh, "Forevermore."

ACCIDENT AT ROSS THEATRE.
Miss Wardell Falls Upon the Stage and
Injuries Her Shoulder.

Miss Warden Falls Upon the Stage and
Injuries Her Shoulder.
Miss Etelka Wardeil, the star Of 1.-THE
diamond Breaker" playing at Ross
Hoboken Theatre, met with an accident
last night that luckily was not as serious
as at first thought. Miss War
dell, by her earnest efforts, had
worked the audience into high
state OF excitement. In the third act
there is a realistic scene. Her lover is
about to be crushed in the diamond
breaker when she rescues him.
Last night the car on the track was
moved passed its usual place. 1t was
above the stage some ten feet. AS 1t
passed over the track. all the stage hands
saw the danger. Miss Wardell was in the
car. One OF the stage hands tried TO stop 1t,
but she saw the danger, and jumping out,
made grab for pole on which she IS
supposed to slide sdown. She missed 1t,
and fell the full distance, landing on her
shoulder. She was picked up uncon-
scious and DR.. Pindar hastily summoned.
He found that there were no bones
broken, but that the lady was suffering
more from shock than from anything
else.
There was the greatest excitement in
the audience until they were assured
that Miss Wardell's injuries were not
serious. The play continued, but Miss
Wardell was unable to resume her part.
This morning Miss Wardell was feeling
very much better Her shoulder Is some-
what stiff, but otherwise she Is all right.
She will play tonight.
