To War on Ancestors.

A Brooklyn girl says that she is goingtn
start q new society," She does not intend
doing this because she thinks there is
dearth of womens societies. But she has
discovered an entirely new field, quite un.
occupied by women's societies or any other
kind. The name of the new organization
is to be the Parvenu society, and the badge
q mushroom; the motto, "She cometh up
as flower"
The members of this society will be al
lowed to mention their fathers and moth
ers and may speak occasionally of a grand
father or grandmother but a mention OF
great-grandfather or great-grandmoth-
er will be punished by fines. No ancestors
of any degree of nearness may be described
to other members unless said ancestors
have been engaged in manual labor or have
been the objects Of public charity or public
punishment. Family records, relics, genoa
logical trees and other Indications of fam
lily antiquity will be burned at the month
ly meetings. People who have proof of tha
antiquity of their stock will not be really
acceptable as members, but they will be
received on condition that they use every
effort to obliterate the knowledge that they
have had ancestors.
The Brooklyn girl is not animated by
spirit of envy. No sour grapes have set her
teeth on edge. She Is eligible to the
Daughters of the Revolution, the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution, the New
England Women, even to the Colonial
Damesl The members of these various So
cieties cannot imagine, SO they say, "why
she talks as she does" And then, again,
there are other women who say they can.

Ancient and Modern Clothing.

Ancient wearing apparel was not cut
to fit, as is our modern clothing. Hav-
ing no definite shape Of its own, it did
not disguise the wearer's figure, and the
grace and beauty of Greek drapery are
dependent almost entirely on the perfect
proportions Of the figure beneath. The
tunic worn by both Greeks and Romans
was little, if at all, fitted to the wearer,
and, when ungirded, hung in folds all
round, while the toga was little more
than sheet and was worn in all sorts
of ways according to the prevailing fash
ion. The Jews of old seem to have worn
breeches, but the rest of their clothing
seems to have been simply wrapped
round them, for it was difficult for
them to run sor even walk fast without
first "girding up their loins. " The
clothing of the northern races was prob
ably always more Of a fit than that of
the southern, for they used leather,
which does not lend itself to simple
draping, but our ancestors probably wore
an almost shapeless tunic belted at the
waist. Another striking difference is
found in the gradual monopoly by wom-
en- Of the ornamental element in dress.
Once masculine dress was by far the
most splendid, and woman, holding an
absolutely subordinate social position,
had to content herself with humber at
tire. AS she has won her way to free
dom and equality she has annexed, not
only the beautiful, but the extravagant
elements Of costume and left man to
content himself with condition of col
orless utility.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Gibbons Letters, +" now first published,
are most pleasant reading, and they throw
new light on the character of the historian
and his age. The "flerce light that beats
upon" great name now reveals to us the
historian as one Of the most genial, affec-
tionate, sane and contented natures in lit
erary history, with genius for friendship,
indulgent almost to fault toward all fail
ings, gently fond of all pleasant things and
people and willing to put up with much
for the sake of an easy life. Never was
any man less heroic, who less pretended to
the heroic, with more perfectly worldly
ideals and more instructive repugnance
to any enthusiasm. A cosmopolitan phi
losophe of the eighteenth century to the
bone, with all the optimism, the cool brain,
the apolausticism, the insensibility to the
moral and spiritual reformation to come,
which mark the literary aristocrat of the
time. We are not likely now to overrate
the good sense and good nature of such
men. We see all their blindness, their
grossness, their egoism. But their cul-
ture and their balance Of mind still inter-
est us. The life they led fascinates us in q
way, as does the life Of Horace and of
Pliny. Peace to their ashes! Let us utter
q half pagan sigh over the classical urn,
sacred to the Dis Manibus of the historian
of Rome. Frederic Harrison in Forum.

No wonder a great mound has been rear

A Year of the X Rays.

Many experiments were made to deter
mine the source from which the rays pro-
coed before it was learned definitely that
they emanate from the surface upon which
the cathode rays first impinge, fact that
was announced almost simultaneously by
several experimenters. 1t is one of the i'm
portant points that have been determined,
and even this was distinctly intimated by
Professor Roentgen in the twelfth section
Of his original paper.
In intensity they vary inversely as the
square of the distance from their source.
They electrify some bodies positively and
some negatively, and, whatever charge o
body may already have, they reduce or
change it to the charge which they would
Independently give to the body. Their
penetrating power depends upon the length
of time they act.
Thus gradually these and many addi-
tional isolated facts have been established
and no doubt enough data will be accumu-
lated eventually to permit generalization
into laws, but that stage has not yet been
reached.
Four theories have been suggested:
First.-They are either waves, like Or
dinary light, but of exceedingly brief peri
3D. therefore ultra ultra-violet.
Second.-They are streams Of material
PARTICLES.
Third.-They are vortexes of the inter.
molecular ether, forced from tho cathode
when the gas pressure is sufficiently low.
Rectilinear propagation, absence of re6ec-
ton, ETC., follow from the properties Of
vorteXcs.
Fourth.-They are variations of stress
in the dielectric surrounding the vacuum
tubes.
Each Of these theories is entitled to the
Scotch verdict, "Not proved" though the
preponderance of opinion is on the side Of
the first. Still it cannot yet be said to be
more than opinion. D. W.
Herring tp Popular Science Monthly.

A Weird Advertisements.

A grewsome advertisement of bicycle
fixtures is displayed in the window of a
store on Market street, above Tenth. A
bicycle is rugged up in the window, and
upon it sits a skeleton scorcher. The bony
fingers clutch the handle bars and the
fleshless feet are firmly fixed to the pedals.
The skull is fitted with powerful electric
lamp, and the light CLEANS very weirdly
through the hollow sockets where the eyes
had once been. An electric motor supplies
the power which drives the wheels around,
and the leg bones rattle up and down
rapidly and the jawbone moves regularly,
as though the skeleton were busily chew
ing gum.-Philadelphia Record.

able as King Charles was, it put the casual
newspaper reader to his stumps to guess

explanation of ttwhich partly explains. 1t
Is held that Charles might have saved his
life If he had agreed to abolish the episco-
pacy. On that ground he is held to be q
martyr. He was canoniZed after the res

more than a century, but the enthusiasm
about it gradually fell off, and in 1859
Queen Victoria, with the help of parlia-
ment, abolished the service for his day, re-
moved his prayer from the prayer book and
took his name off of the saints calendar
Later a society of persons, not otherwise
fully occupied, was started in England to
observe this day of the only English saint

The most exciting and overpowcring
day of one summer was the day l spent ON
the battlefield of Waterloo. Starting out
with the morning train from Brussels, we
arrived in about an hour on that famous
spot. A son of one who was in the battle,
and who had heard from his father thou
sand times the whole scene recited, accom-
panied us over the field. There stood the
old Hougomont chateau, the walls dented
and scratched and broken and shattered by
grapeshot and cannon ball. There is the
well in which 800 dying and dead were
pitched. There is the chapel, with the head
of the infant Christ shot off. There are
the gates at which for many hours Eng.
lish and French armies wrestled. Yonder
were the 100 guns Of the English and the
$50 guns Of the French. Yonder the Han
overian hussars fled for the woods. Yon-
der was the ravine Of Ohain, where the
French cavalry, not knowing there was a
hollow in the ground, rolled over and
down, troop after troop, tumbling into one
awful mass of suffering, hoof of Kicking
horses against brow and breast of captains
and colonels and private soldiers, the hui
man and the beastly groan kept up until,
the day after, all was shoveled under be-
cause Of the malodor arising in that hot
month Of June.

Waco, Texas, October 29.-General
Manager Duncan Of the Waco and Sa-
blne railroad has returned from an
extended trip over the proposed line
and reports satisfactory progress. Be
tween S3J0,000 and 100000 in bonuses
has been pledged and this amount will
( doubtless increased when the survey
us made. AS now contemplated the
road will run from Waco to Heads
Prairie, thence to point on the In
ternational and Great Northern two
miles east of Lake. The preliminary
survey has been completed to this
point and the right of way has been
secured. From the junction with the
international the proposed line will
proceed to Madsonville, Madison
county, crossing the Navasota river
near Rocky Ford. From Madisonville
it will so to Huntsville, Walker coun-
ty, thence to Cold Springs, San ia
cinto countyt, thence to Sour Lake,
Hardin county, crossing the Trinity
river between Nevills Ferry and the
mouth of Big Creek. From Sour Lake
the road will run to Beaumont, thence
to Sabine Pass.
Mr.. Duncan says the enterprise has
passed from the period of doubt and
that the road is certain to he built.
Mr.. James h. Baker. president of the
company, Is in New York negotiating
for funds to build and equip the road.
and Mr.. Duncan received n letter from

matters have been arranged to place

yeyed to Sabine Pass.

Austin, Texas, October 30-Red river
Is again causing trouble for Texas.
Under the treaty establishing boun.
Diary line between Texas and the In
dian Territory the Red river was made
the line. Continued "freshets" have
changed the channel of Red river and
what was a portion Of Texas is now
in the Territory. Those lands, that
have been cut off were patented by
Texas to settlers in this state, but are
now claimed by the government and
by residents of the Indian Territory.
The governor and attorney general
have lately had numerous appeals from
people who have been thus deprived
of their property, to institute proceed
ings to protect them in their rights.
The attorney general, relying upon
the precedent established by the SUI
preme court of the United States in a
decision affecting lands or property in
Kentucky and Ohio that was cut off in
the same manner by the Ohio river,
has decided that those lands are still
the property of Texas people to whom
they were patented by the state. II
will probably require the supreme
court of the United States to settle
this matter.
