Well. that's a woman whom ! lovediu times

I used 70 visit her each night and W rite her
every day,
And words Of burning, eager love to her I'd

I'd take her out TO parties and to man.. mat

Would send her every week or so a costly big
bouquet.
Large sums out Of my salary | cheerfuIly
would pay
For buggy rides and such like things TO make
our courtship gay.
Well, after all I'd done for her, this same
young maid. Miss May,
Although her parents stern had said to such a
marriage nay.
Packed up her clothes together and skipped
lightly out one day
And welded a young fellow down at Nara

Well. goodby. Jack. she's coming and with her
| must stray.
You say that you're astonished that word to
her I'd say;
That should coldly snub and scorn such de-

But. don't you seer am the man with whom
she ran away.

Dingbats.

The Boston Journal gives various
theories as to the meaning Of the word
"dingbats. " One writer who spent his
boyhood in Maine thinks it means to
spank, because his mother when getting
ready to use the slipper threatened to
put the "dingbats' on him. From Will
barham academy comes the explanation
that it means the breakfast biscuit,
which the students dispose of by stick
ing it to the under side of the table,
throwing it at the heads of other stu
dents or eating it, A Connecticut pupil
states that to receive punishment at the
hands Of the teacher is known as get
ting the dingbats. Two Philadel-
phians agreed that it means money, as
in the sentence, i've got the dingbats
for it." But New Hampshire agrees
with Maine that it means spanking.
and so the majority appears to side with
the maternal slipper. 1t is from such
little acorns" that the tall tree of our
almost cosmopolitan language has
grown. We got blizzard" from the
west, 'kuklux' from the south. boom"
from the ambitious cities. crank"
from the eccentric minds in every part
of the country, "pantata'' from Italy,
"chalitza" from Russia Dingbats is
going to be a great convenie1ce.

full view of the Potomac. Nine, Yang
is rarely visible except when the Chi
nese minister entertains or attends some
ball or dinner, and she is even deprived
of the great joy of going shopping and
buying things that have just been mark
ed down. All her shopping is done by
servants. who select samples. from
which she gives her orders. The ladies
of the upper class Of Chinese. to which
she belongs, never enter store or shop
Of any kind.
Nine. Yang processes to be very fond
Of America, but she says the average
American seems to know very little
about China She is charmed, she says,
with Washington society, and she and
her husband are very gay members Of
the diplomatic circle. They attend nu-
merous balls, dinners and teas and seem
to be amused by their futile efforts to
make themselves understood when an
interpreter is not at hand. Very recent
ly the Chinese minister gave ball that
was considered one of the great events
of the Washington season. About th
only fly in the social ointment in Wash
ington, so far as they are concerned, is
the fact they now and then get uncom-
fortably near the Japanese minister. A
meeting is usually avoided. however,
owing to the Chinese minister's prac-
tice of going early and leaving early,
while the japanese minister goes late
and remains until the affair is over.
Nine. Yang does not think that Chris
tianity is obtaining any hold in China.

PROTECTION OF IRON COLUMNS.
Bricks In Portland Cement Successfully
Withstand Fire.

Bricks In Portland Cement Successfully
Withstand Fire.
Some experiments were recently made
by the building inspection department,
Vienna, on the protection of iron from
fire by casing it with brick. A wrought
iron column IL feet long and built of
two channels connected by lattice bars
was used. This was set up in a small
chamber constructed of brick, and the
column was loaded by levers. This
done. it was surrounded by 4 q inch
brick wall laid in fire clay mortar. The
wall did not fit closely around the col
umn, and advantage was taken of this
to fix there samples of fusible metals,
which should serve as gauge of the
temperature attained.
Various samples of stone concrete and
other materials were also placed in the
chamber within the column. This cham
Der was then filled with split frewood,
which was lighted, and the doors IN.
mediately walled up with slabs of plas-
ter of paris After the fire had broken
out the doors were broken in and a
stream of water turned into the room
from IA horsepower fire engine. An
examination of the room next showed
that the walls of brick, laid in portland
cement, retained their strength. while
most of the material stone left in the
chamber had been destroyed. The cell
ing had been lined partly with plaster
of paris and partly with terra Gotta
tiles. Both were damaged. The inclo-
sure around the iron pillars was still
standing firm. though corners of the
brickwork were clipped one inch or so,
and the fire clay mortar was largely
washed out Of the joints. On removing
the casing. however, the pillar was
found to be uninjured, even the paint
being unscorched, and the fusible plugs
only showed a temperature of l49 de-
grees f. Engineering
