How a Little Miss Turned Failure
Into q Glorious Success.

Presence of mind has turned defeat
into victory for generals on the battle
field, for statesmen in the senate cham
Der and for lawyers in the court room.
1t is rare gift, but a very young
woman who lives in the little town of
Hawthorne in the pine woods of Florida,
possesses it to an unusual degree, says
an exchange. The Sunday school to
which she belongs recently gave Sun
day school concert, and, although she
is hardly five years old, she showed
such willingness to contribute to the
success of the occasion that she was en-
trusted by the teacher with the recita.
ton of verse.
She applied herself to her task, and
at the preliminary rehearsal acquitted
herself to the delight of her teacher and
the envy of her classmates.
The Sunday afternoon came at last.
The church was crowded and the ex-
ercises began. The little girl was in a
flutter. At last the long waited mo-
ment arrived and the superintendent
announced her name. She toddled
bravely up thelaisle and, with the help
of his hand, mounted the steps and
stood on the platform facing the peo-
pie.
"Oh, what lot of folks are looking
at mel" she thought.
In fact, like many an older person in
similar situation, that was all she
could think of. The verse which she
knew so well that she had been saying
it in her sleep she could not think of al
all.
But she was not the child to give
way to defeat without struggle. II
she couldn't think of that verse, she
could of another, and so while the con
gregation was hushed to catch the first
syllable from her faltering lips, she
piped up in shrill treble:
Needles and pins
Needles and pins,
When you get married the trouble begins.
In one respect, at least, her recitation
was the success of the afternoon.

It's True Derivation.

II is truly surprising what erroneous
ideas are entertained by the general pub
lie concerning the true meaning of many
terms in general use A striking exam
pie of this is the word "terne" as applied
to tin plate. Usually it is understood
that this word is derived from the French
one, meaning "dull' This is totally in
correct. Terne plate is a sheet or plate
of iron and steel covered with an alloy
of tin and lead in the proportion of two
thirds lead and one-third tin. 1t is this
union of the three metals-iron, lead and
tin-that gave rise TO the word terne
plate, tene being an equivalent to the
English tern, meaning "threefold." The
origin of the erroneous definition of this
term was the fact that because of the
large percentage of lead used in coating
terne plates it is duller in hue than the
ordinary tin plate, which is frequently
designated "bright plate" in coptradis-
tlnctlOn 10 the former. House FurnISh-

MISCELLANY.
A Winter Thought.

The wind swaycd daisies that on every side
Throng the wide fields in whispering companies
Serene and gently smiling like the eyes
OF tender children long beati6cd;
The delicate thought wrapped buttercups that
glide
Like sparks of fire above the wavering grass
And swing and toss with all the airs that pass,
Yet seem so peaceful, so preoccupied
These are the emblems of pure pleasures flown
| scarce can think of pleasure without these.
Even to dream of them is to disown
The cold, forlorn midwintcr reveries
Lullod with the perfume of old hopes new
blown,
No longer dreams, but dear realities.
