Gracious Act of Many Women.

It was bold move for man to make
in woman's meeting to ask for the re-
moval of all hats and allow the few men
in the rear to see the four talented
actresses VINO occupied the platform at
the woman's congress, but it succeeded.
The spring hats were beautiful as flower
gardens, and they added to tire attract
iveness Of those who wore them, but wo-
men were here in the majority, aid they
listened to the appeals of meek minor
ity present only by sufferance. Nine.
Modjeska declared that women must
not only be taught independence, but
responsibility, and the ladies felt that
they were responsible for the spread of
their gospel to the outer circle of chairs
IN the hall, where few men were spec
tators. 1t was good beginning and in
dicates that when the women are in the
majority at the theaters they will be as
gracious to the men as the men are to
them now and remove their hats to let
every one see the stage. =

rastes of aenius In Ynutl,.

1t is probable that the great men of the
past developed themselves as their tastes
and inclinations led. They did not learn
all they learned because some one else
had learned it, even if certain branches
were foregone conclusion, and that
which they did learn they learned be-
cause they felt the impulse and the need.
It is not the man who is just like every
other man who helps the world along the
most, but the man whose different train
ing and growth makes him individual
and gives him coign of vantage that
he would miss If he went slipping along
just like overy one else.
Give the backward boy" his chance,
then, at that which suits him best and

An rrishmaa.s Excuse.


During o season of exceedingly cold
weather in q frontier army post the
commanding officer issued an order to
have limited rations Of whisky issued to
his men.
All went we1l until one day soldier,
an hish-American, was arrested and
placed in the guardhouse for intoxicn-
ton. The quantity of whisky allotted
TO each man WINS insufficient to produce
such result, and brief investigation
which followed developed the fnct that
The soldier had stolen the rations Of O
comrade.
In course of time the matter was
brought to the attention of the COM
manding officer, and the private was or
dered before him for trial upon the hei-
nous charge of stealing.
Pat was very much downcast when he
appeared before the officer, but was still
In possession of his faculties and native
wit. He denied having stolen the whis-
ky, but frankly admitted drinking the
double allowance and his subsequent
drunkenness.
"No, sur he said, when asked to ex-
plain further, "shure I'm not afther
stealth tho drink. It was this way, sur
You see, he asked me to get his rations
and had me own requisition an only
wan bottle. Both rations were poured
in the wan bottle.
"Now, sur, lave 1t to yer honor,
what was / to do2 Me own whisky was
in the bottom of the bottle, an couldn't
get at it but by drinking what was on
the top, but shure didn't steal it."

Bauxite Ores In the south.

Information has come to the two i'm
portant scientific bureaus in Washing
ton, the geological survey and the Smith
sonian institution, of absolutely mex
haustible deposits of bauxite ores in Ala
bama and Georgia, which give promise
of solving the chief difficulty heretofore
encountered in the cheap production of
aluminium for commercial purposes.
Specimen Jumps of these ores analysed
at the Smithsonian institution show 48
per cent Of pure aluminium in the light
tints and 40 per cent in the brown
shades, whereas ordinary clay contains
on an average only SO per cent. Bauxite
derives its name from the fact that it
was discovered first near Baux, or Beaus,
near Aries, France. Bezides France it
is found to limited extent in Austria
and elsewhere in Europe and in worka-
BILE quantities in Arkansas and other
states and territories of the Union.-

An Eskimo Trick.

The short, chunky, wooden looking
Eskimo men wheedle silver out of the
populace by playing a game requir-
ing considerable skill. This consists
in lifting donated nickel or dime out
of the ground by the crack of whip.
The whips these chaps use are like an
ordinary bull goad, with number Of
leather lashes added to the total length
of "a feet. They shoot these long lashes
along the ground like snakes straight at
coin set edge up in the dirt, and as
each tip reaches the spot it curls with q
snap like pistol shot and likely as not
lifts the coin high in the air. 1t goes to

Iced Tea and CoTse.

The secret of delicious summer bever-
ages is their iciness. They may be un-
wholesome in their frigidity, but in this
way only their true virtue lies" Iced
tea and coffee are probably the least in
furious Of summer drinks. To prepare
the former pour cup Of freshly boiled
and boiling water over three teaspoon
fuls Of tea, set to steep, when add one
quart of freshly boiled water. Five
minutes later strain into an earthen jug,
and when cold-not lukewarm- add one
or two large pieces Of ice. Serve with a
large quantity of finely chopped ice,
granulated sugar and thin slices Of
lemon. II iced coffee be desired, make a
fresh pot Of very strong coffee and when
cold serve with large quantities Of ice

Ceeducation In Chicago.

Coeducation ON the broadest basis has
been weighed in the balance for six
months at the University of Chicago.
Opportunities for study, for honors and
for degrees, with their financial value,
have been thrown wide open to women.
In come studies the college women are
better than the men ALI in all, pro-
fessors make a graceful acknowledge
ment to the women of the new univer-
sity that her rank entities her to remain.
"Those who have come from other CO.
educational institutions where differ
ent spirit prevails" says woman stu
dent, "are especially able to appreciate
it. Some have come from universities
or colleges originally intended for men,
to which women were only admitted
after protest, and where the protest still
fingers in the air; where many privi-
leges given to men were absolutely de-
MED to women; where one was always
spoken of as coed and where in gen.
eral she was made to feel that she was
an intruder. To whatever motive the
courtesy is due, whether 1t is an &C
knowledgment Of woman's equal right
with man to higher education, or
whether it is the consideration shown
by the strong to the weak, the kindly
courtesy of the professors and men stu
dents of the University of Chicago is
gratefully appreciated by the young
women"
When the new school said it would
keep open all the year round, good
many people held their breath to won
der who would go in the summer time.
Although the university will omit the
courses and go to the fair this summer,
tho number of applications coming in
for admission to the summer courses is
appalling. There are hundreds Of them.
Now the university officers think the
number of students in summer time will
be greater than during any other quar-
ter of the year.-Chicago Herald.

fewer old maids in the league than in

money. Out of it she is expected to pay

eorganizations- Colonial DANES
Of America and Daughters OF American
Revolution-are 30 much alike that many

socially, the former rather more exclu-
siye probably than the latter. The one
was organized in May, 1890, by Mrs.
Martha j. Lamb; the other followed in
June. There has been SO much clashing
In one way and another, chiefly between

izations are distinct and separate.

MISUNDERSTANDING have sprung up con-
cerning whether the ancestors of those
applying for adfnittance were sufficient
ly distinguished to answer the require

Mrs. John X. Van Rensselaer,, took 1t
upon herself to sit in Judgment upon the
social and ancestral claims of those
wishing to be members, which. added to
the sneering remarks of the Virginia
women about Dutch merchants, have
kept the society stirred up much of the
time.
The Daughters Of the American Revo-
luton must be lineal descendants of Rev
olutionary patriots, no service after the
close of the war being considered. They
seem to have a well defined object in
view, too. that Of acquiring possession
Of certain historical sites. They number
something like 1900 and hold an annual
congress in Washington, In which every
state in the Union is represented. Mrs.
Harrison was the first president. Mrs.
Adlai Stevenson is the president at pres
ent. Whether they have been content
to be considered less exclusive, whatever
the reason, the Daughters have enjoyed
more peaceful existence than the
Danes, whose last cause of vexation was
the fact that their president chose to
have her badge made of diamonds, the
rest having been content with simple
gold ones. Brooklyn Eagle.

A GOOD Use For Last seasons dresses.

The enormously increased price Of

dressmakers, is due to the portentous

is reported as the allowance made for

the gown in Paris, which accounts per-
haps for the fashion of using different
