Cambon is a man of fervid eloquence, and
he spoke with an intensity of feeling which
made a deep impression on the president
and the others present. He spoke IN
French, each sentence being caught up and
interpreted by NJ. hiebault with rapidity.

expression lost little by this indirect meth

with equal frankness, and in the lengthy
discussion there was scarcely point In

Terms Sent to Madrid

Immediately following the long confer
ence the French ambassador and NJ. THE
bault returned to the French embassy and
then began the hard work of reducing to
cipher the American conditions, together
with the results of the conferences and
transmitting the same to Madrid. The am
bassador was smiling and apparently well
pleased with the result of the conference
on the cipher work. as 1t was a long and
for the time between Washington and
Madrid, the terms could not reach the
Spanish capital before midnight tonight
and would not get before the Spanish min
istry before noon tomorrow.

THE vERNAL EQUINOX.

The haggard morn, cleaning silver
creese,
Cleayes thro' deep cordons of unstable
cloud;
Shrill winds, unleashed, like hounds in
hungry crowd,
Seourge the lean woods. and sough with
out surcease;
The frenzied surge, signing in vain for
peace,
Shoulders along the bar and moaning
loud,
Clutched by the snarling reef, swoons
terror-cowed.
Earth, sea and air have drunken to the
lees
That potent draught, fond Natures Of
fering,
In which she pledges her retreating
guest
The wild mad March, fell Winters dis
crowned king,
Who storms the hills and seeks in bale
full quest
The blithe queen-regnant Of awakening
Spring,
Whose feet are stayed in some dim
woodland rest.

Curfew for Married Men.

The very latest curfew idea comes
from Waycross, Ga, where demand
Is made that the bell shall ring for
the coming home of married men rath-
er than of the children. The ladies
had been engaged in a discussion OF
the law to clear the streets OF the
youngsters who made the night hid
eous and the movement had gained
considerable Roadway when local pa
per suggested that there was more
need of corralling the fathers Of the
family than of chasing down the lit
tie children. The suggestion took at
once. Those married men who are
known as bon vivants were at first in
cllned to laugh at the proposition, but
1t has been agitated until now the very
seriousness with which their wives
have taken 1t up causes them consider
able annoyance.

Matrimony has ten commandments.
These were studied out by Theodore
Parker shortly before the day of his
wedding. They took the form of ten
beautiful resolutions, which he inscrib-
ed in his journal They were as follows !;
First. Never, except for the best
reasons, to oppose my wife's will.
Second. TO discharge all duties for
her sake freely.
Third. Never to scold.
Fourth. Never to look cross at her.
Fifth.--Never to worry her with
commandments.
Sixth, To promote her piety.
Seventh. To bear her burdens.
Eighth. To overlook her foibles.
Ninth.-To save, cherish and forever
defend her.
Tenth. TO remember her always in
my prayers. Thus, God willing. we shall
be blessed.

Tho Love. of an Architect.

The architect, says Russell Sturgis in
The Atlantic, must possess a love OF
building, and of heavy stones, and OF
good bricks, and of stout, solid walls
and of handsome timbers, handsomely
cut and framed. He must even love
the new material wrought and rolled
iron and steel, for its great and as
yet only partly known capabilities.
When one is asked by would be
student of architecture about his (the
student 50 chances of succeeding as an
architect, it is very good to find out
what his proclivities are and wheth-
er he is merely interested in fine art
and seized with the idea that archi-
lecture is an easy fine art to study and
to practice.
The architect should love the quarries
and should visit them with eager Curl
osity. The cleavage of stone and its ap-
pearance in its natural bed should be
not only delight to him, but an object
of close study. The architect should
love the lumber yard, not to say the
forest. To him the timber in itself
should DO thing delightful to study
and it's possible uses delightful to con-
template. The architect should love the
brickyard, and experiments in cements
and in mortars should be his holiday
amusement. And, finally, the architect
must have such an eye and such a
soundness of Judgment that bad work
cannot escape him. A familiarity with
details not unlike that of good master
builder he must combine with knowl-
edge of principles and of possibilities
far beyond that Of the master builder,
so that good work will come to his
buildingsas Of Inevitable sequence, and
bad or even sighted work will be i'm

The Other Half.

The "other half" of which one-haif
of the world Is said to know nothing
might be the very rich rather than the
poor, says the New York Times. Inc
poor cannot conceal themselves from
investigating eyes. The rich. while
they are in a way much before the pub
lie, may be comparatively little known.
The world might be surprised If 1t knew
something of the character and good
works of many of the people OF whom
it knows only as connected with some
society function.
"The women of the most beautlful
characters l have ever known" says a
woman who knows, "are in the upper
classes Of New York society. They be-
long in the most select circles, what Is
known as the bowling swells.' They
are women of great wealth, who are
always invited to all the most fashion
able functions. They may accept for
the sake of their children or for some
other reason. Certainly not because
society is their only thought. They are
women of broadcast sympathies; wom-
en- whose one thought from the time
they arise in the morning until they go
to bed at night is to do their duty con-
scientiously."

HOW LONG is A THOUGHT
We Can Hear Far More Rapidly than
We Can Count.

How long does it take man to think?
Prof. Richet, at the recent meeting of
the British Association, gave the re-
suits of his Investigations into this sub
ject, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
He found that by mentally running up
the notes of the musical scale for one
or more octaves, and then dividing the
total time by the total number of notes
thought of, the time taken for each
note was one-eleventh of second.
There are various ways of arriving at
conclusions as to the amount of time
necessary for realizing any physical
sensation or mental impression. If the
skin be touched repeatedly with light
blows from a small hammer person
may, according to Prof. Richet, distin-
guish the fact that the blows are sep
arate and not continuous pressure when
they follow one another as frequently
as 1000 second.
The smallest intervals Of sound can
be much better distinguished with one
ear than with both. Thus the separate
ness of the clicks of revolving toothed
wheel was noted by one observer when
they did not exceed sixty to the second,
but using both ears he could not dis
tinguish them when they occurred
oftener than fifteen times second.
The sharp sound of the electric spark
of an induction coil was distinguished
with one ear when the rate was as high
as 500 to the second. Sight is much less
keen than hearing in distinguishing diff
ferences. II a disk half white and half
black be reyolved it will appear gray
when its revolutions exceed twenty
four per second. 1t has been found
that we can hear far more rapidly than
we can count, so that if a clock-cicking
movement runs faster than ten to the
second we can count four clinks, while
with twenty to the second we can only
count two of them.

And loved your beauty with love false or

But one man loved the pilgrim soul In you
And loved tho sorrows of your changing face

And hid his face amid crowd Of stars
