HATS IN THE THEATRES.

If women only knew how pleasant 1t

not add one iota to the wearcr's COM

GIRLS AND SLANG.

A writer states that glrle use more
slang-especially if they are grown
up-than boys do. Girls, it is afiirmed,
talk much more than boys. 90 that
their stock of uncouth words is in more
frequent use. 1t IL also larger. II q
boy were q mine of slang his tacitur-
nifty would keep 1t concealed from all
but q few of his chums. His mven-
tons are confined to small circle. and
his opportunities Of borrowing are cor
respondinglv diminished. Not 90 with
the girl. The loquacity of her asso-
ciates, aided by her own, spreads and
multipiies slang with the greatest rap
idity. She 10 more sociable.
At school she is "thick" with q
dozen, and gathers in all the dozen
know. And, besides, says the same
authority, girls are 90 reckless IN the
use of their language that they give
slangy character to good English.
With the girl at the period OF giggle-
hood, every good thing is perfectly"
so. She s'never" does this and she
"always' does that. She sometimes
feels "hateful," but it 10 oftener some
one else who 10 always perfectly hor-
nd" Nearly everything is "awful."
Such are some of the charges this
abominab,e person brings against the
sweet young creatures.
Another authority fatty contradicts
them all and Gays the boy is the sum OF
villainies. The words he prefers, 1t is
asserted, are 90 tinged with profanity
that he cannot use them at home and
it is thus only that he gets his reputa-
ton for freedom from slang. Who
can settle the dispute? We are Of opin-
ion that injustice ia done to the girls.
We are confident also that few boys
are 40 bad as represented. 1t Is posi-
bic that the so-called authority" has
been judging the whole world from his
few unfortunate associates.

THIS EARTH OF OURS.

GeoloRists have ascertained that the
rate at which erosion takes place can
be measured; by applying their scale to
the sedimentary rocks they have formed
a hypothesis as to the time which has
elapsed since erosion began.
The stratified rocks attain an average
thickness of 100, 900 feet. The material
of which they consist was all washed
down from high planes, deposited and
left to stratify. By the inspection OF
river banks it IS found that in places
the surface of the land which has been
carried down as sediment in rivers has
been reduced at the rate of a foot in
$50 years, while In other places. where
the land was more stubborn or less
flexible, it had taken $500 years to
lower the surface one foot. The de-
post must be equal to the denudation.
We find that while some of the sedi-
mentary rocks have grown foot in $50
years others have taken $500 years to
rise that height Thus the period of
time that was required to build up 100,-
900 feet of sedirnentary rock has varied
according to locality from $4,000, 900
to CSC, O00, 900 years. 1t follows that the
active work Of creation lasted for a
cycle intermediate between these two
figures. The cycle varied with endless
succession of periods of disturbance by
volcanic force and glacial action. and
the frequent submersion OF dry land,
alternating with the emerging of conti-
nents out of the seas. These may have
retarded the growth of sedimentary
rocks, but they cannot have accelerated
it.
A study Of fossils teaches the steady
uniformity with which the work of Gre
alton proceeded. Since man began to
observe there has been no change in the
forms of animal and vegetablelife. Anew
species have disappeared--not one new
| species has been evolved. Not only do
we find the fauna and flora Of ancient
Egypt as depicted on monuments which
| are probably 5000 or 10000 years old
| identical with these which are found in
that country to-day, but shells which
inhabited our seas before the ice age
| and grew In an ocean whose bed overlap
the Rocky mountains are precisely the
same species that are found in the bay
of Monterey and the waters Of the
| Chesapeake. II IL evident that there
has been no essential change in the con
ditions of lie since these animals and
these vegetables we've first created. yet
1 how vast the shortest period which we
can assign 10 the gap that divides IN
| from that remote epoch.

Soldiers of the Salvation Army Have a
Halle1ujah Wedding.

Axel Ludwig Levin and Cassie Dora
Killam were married last evening. Both
are soldiers of the Salvation Army and
theirs was hallelujah wedding, cele-
brated at the Army hall to the great
satisfaction of all who were present. The
hall was full. Many of the people pres
ent were not accustomed to attend Saliva
ton services. Adjutant Brengle. just
from Beulah camp, though suffering, as
he said, from toothache, took hold of the
meeting with vigor, and the interest
continued to the end. Captain Roberts
led a number of choruses, and several
testimonies were given by soldiers and
friends, before the marriage was sol
emnized.
The bride and groom were dressed in
plain and simple Salvation Army uni
forms. They declared their intention not
only to love and cherish each other,
but to do this in the Salvation Army,
seeking to promote its interests and as
far as possible to secure it's object, name
ly, the salvation Of the lost.
The audience smiled audibly when the
adjutant called attention to the BRIDES
difficulty in pronouncing the Swedish
name of the groom.
