A Brave Revolutionary woman.

Elizabeth Zane is one of the gentle
women who played part in one of the
savage fights of 1777. A battle was
in progress at Limestone, KY, under
the walls of Fort Henry, a large In
dian force being concentrated on the
Sandusky river banks under the lead
ership of the notorious white renegade
and Tory, Simeon Girty.
The soldiers in the garrison lacked
powder to carry on the fight and could
spare no man to get it from the pow
der house. Then it was that Eliza
beth Zane, slight, slender girl, boldly
volunteered to bring them powder,
although it was almost certain death
to attempt it.
She carried it in a tablecloth tied
about her waist and had made two or
three journeys when her object was
realized by the Indians, who sent a
hail of shot about her. The girl
never faltered and passed into the fort
uninjured. She had saved the day
for the soldiers. Weekly.

1t is the custom in Denmark not
only to send city children into the
country, but country children to the
city. Commenting on this, writer
in the Boston Transcript says: The
country children have their taste of a
pleasure ana benefit derived from
visits to the city, where new and
strange interests appeal strongly to
the wonder-loving mind of the child
to whom city sights and sounds and
scenes are unfamiliar. The child of
the rural districts is as susceptible to
the healthy influence of change as is
his city cousin, and well might Den
marks custom of sending country
children to the city be adopted in the
land where her country week sug-
gestions have grown and fourished
with each succeeding summer. A
city week might with profit be es-
tablished, which in days to come would
rival even her sister charity in popu-
larity and success.

Such laugh couldn't belong to a trump;
Humorous, too. to see things wittily--
Probably plump.

Why, it's infectious! I'm catching the feel

The conclusion arrived at by DIR.
See of the Lowell Observatory, in
discussing the question as to whether
there are other habitable worlds
than our own, differs from that of
Garrett P. Serviss, says the New York
Sun. In his account of his most re-
cent observations, the fact is stated
that there were disclosed stars more
difficult than any which astronomers
had seen before-among these obscure
objects being about half a dozen of a
truly wonderful character, in that
they seem to be dark, almost black, in
color, and apparently shining by dull,
reflected light, and, as it is unlikely
they are self luminous, it may be said
that, if they should turn out dark
bodies in fact, shining only by the
reflected light of the stars around which
they revolve, they would be the first
rase of planets, or dark bodies, noticed
lmong the fixed stars. Mr.. Serviss
is not of the opinion, though Profess
sor See appears to hold it, that there
are no planetary bodies in the uni
verse, revolving around other suns
than ours; and he argues that these
obscure objects, named by Professor
See, are visible proves that they are
enormously larger than Jupiter, and,
though it is by no means certain that
the latter is habitable planet, it il
quite certain, unless terrestrial analo-
gies are abandoned altogether, thai
