A Pass From Almost a Stranger.

The man about town who is always
nodding to people and making himself
agreeable even to comparative strangers
had a little experience the other day
which goes to prove that politeness and
civility sometimes pay in financial
as we'll as a social sense. He was stand
ing in the railroad station in Baltimore,
waiting for the train to New York,
when he noticed a man who kept glanc-
ing at him. Every time he looked in
the direction of the stranger he noticed
that his eyes were turned toward him.
Strolling over that way, he bowed to
the stranger.
81 beg your pardon" he said, s'but ]
thought you recognized me. y
IT beg yours, said the stranger. 81
thought I recognized you, but I am not
sure now.
"My name,'' said the man about
town, sis L."
''Oh, then, was right!'' said the
other. my name is H. We met
only once, about 15 years ago. Are you
going through to New York;" added
H.
'Right through on this train, /" an
swered the man about town. 81 hope
you are too"
eyes," said the other; IT am sorry
to see that you bought your ticket. I
have pass for myself and one. "
'Ob, haven't bought my ticket, "
answered il, with chuckle, "and
am just your man. "
So his nodding was his passport

Human Labor at Great Attitudes.

Investigation among the workmen on
the Peruvian Central railroad has
brought some curious facts to light con-
corning the capabilities of men to labor
in rarefed atmosphere. The line starts
at Lima, in latitude - degrees, and the
highest point reached by the road is at
the tunnel of Galeria, which is Is, 645
feet above sea level. From deductions
made by the investigators, it appears
that the men We're able to perform a
fair ''sea level'' days work at any place
along the route where the altitude was
not greater than 5000 Or $1,000 feet
providing they had gradually worked up
to that height from lower levels. At
attitudes above 10, feet and under
10, 900 the amount Of work perfnfmed
by each man showed a sudden falling
off of from one-fourth to one third, and
at from IS, 900 to 1900 feet 100 men
could do no more work than so would
at sea level.-St. Louis Republic.

A Texas congressman is thinking OF

is IT TO LOVE OR TO BE LOVED?


Who cares for love if one may lover
In that the rapture lies.
What recks heart that it be won
If it may win the prize?
There is no heart which stays at home,
Contented to be sought.
But, ever restless. seeks to win
The heart where love is fought.
Yet hearts are not all conquerors.
Sometimes doubling one
Is overcome, and as slave
Its Intercourse is run.
The heart thus conquered may submit
And seldom will rebel.
But dreams of triumph come to it
Contentment to dispel.
How oft in story and in song
We read of those who die
For those they Lowell They take no thought
OF other reason why.
But is there in the crown OF love
Great sacrifice, this gem
OF martyrdom-thata any die
For those who most love them?

HOW GREEK LADIES DRESSED.
1t Is Surprising to learn That They Lace
aud X5Lnre Elnnnned SISiris.

1t Is Surprising to learn That They Laced
and Wore FIounced Skirts.
Women in Homer embroider gar
ments, and many Of these are brought
from Sidon. They wear wells, but Oh
the whole their dress, long smock and
girdle, was apparently much like that
of later Greece. This is odd, for on a
gold ring from Mycena, very old, we
see women with exuberant busts, tight
waists and petticoats heavily behounced.
The same costume appears On q Myce-
nean ring picked up by Furtwangler
in a curiosity shop. Two ladies are Ca
rousing out Of champagne glasses. They
are very tightly laced. A lady on Ny
cenaan gem from Vapheio is laced to ex-
tinction and has seven founces. The
British museum owns a lentoid gem,
where Leto wears only a crinoline, with
no petticoat over it. Dipylon vases dis
play both men and women with tiny
waists Men, in Mycenman art, wear
little but very short drawers and shields.
In Homer the chiefs, summoned Oh a
night alarm, come out in dressing
gowns, some Of them in skins.
The historical dress for ladies was a
large piece of cloth a foot longer than
the wearer was tall and as wide as her
arms could stretch. When put Oh by a
fair Briton, it usually falls off again. A
belt partly kept it up, and safety pins
were used i'll very early times. By tax
ing bath towel-a good, big one-and
trying what she can make Of it as her
full costume, modern nymph may
partly understand the toilet Of her an
Gent sisters. When once she has got it
on, she stands with extended arms, and
another lady fastens a girdle round her
waist; then she pulls up the superfiuous
length through the girdle and lets it
hang over, and there she is. But how
long she will remain thus is an extreme
ly delicate question. Straps, like braces,
were sometimes worn and crossed over
the breast, being fastened to the girdle.
Ladies had no bonnets-they muffled
their heads in a fold Of their cloaks OF
wore fiat hats. They were all very beau
tiful and charming, as we see in the
Tanagra terra Gotta. 1t must have been
delightful to live in Tanagra. It ap-
pears, on the whole, that we cannot hope
to revive Greek dress. The dress was de-
signed for a warm climate and for a
beautiful, shapely grace. It had its adj
vantages in the matter Of health, as
there was no tight lacing after the My
cenaan age. The style was not extrava-
CANT Or costly, but it is impossible. rs
theticism cannot bring it back. An es,
thete in chiffon and sandals on cold
and rainy day would be an unlovely OBJ
ject. He would be wrapped i'll a blanket,
thrust into four wheeler and sent to a
hospital. Not for all the glory that was
Greece's would rational men barter Il
pair of stockings and a pair of trousers.
