the charter of our college, and OF the
railroad witnessed also the establish

4 SMILE TO WIN AND HEART TO WOO.

The world is broad and the world Is long.
There's groan of pain and a snatch of song.
There's sky that's dark, and sky that's
blue.
There's breast that's false and breast
that's true;
But above all else there's hand for you.
TheSes a smile to win and heart to WOO.
Tho world is round and the world is deep.
There a day of toll and night of sleep.
There's an hour Of pain and a day of fear.
There's week Of peace and month OF
cheer;
Rut above all else there's a hand for you.
There's a smile to win and a heart to WOO.
The world is sad and the world is gay.
There's time to work and time to play.
There's thorn of woe and a word of love.
There's u sigh that stisrtles the cooling dove;
But above all else there's a hand for you.
There's smile to win and a heart to WOO.
The world is bright and the world is sweet.
There's resting balm for the many feet.
There's a bed of down and a spot Of ease.
There's a look to cheer and voice to
please;
But above all else there's hand for you.
There's smile to win and heart to WOO.

being reversed in small lapels that
meet the rolling collar in notches.
Machine stitching finishes all edges
in strictly tailor style.
The chemisette is of white linen,
out can be of material to correspond
or contrast with the basque.
The sleeves are of fashionable size
and fit closely at the wrists, closing
with three buttons and buttonholes.
Basques in this style usually match
the material of the skirt, firmly woven
textures being the invariable choice.
Serge, covert or broadcloth, whip
cord, homespun, corduroy, Henrietta
and poplin will all make smart basques
that are suitable for shopping or gen.
eral wear, as we'll as for bicycle or
other outdoor exercise.
Narrow braid may take the place OF
machine stitching, if different com
pletion is desired.
To cut this basque for lady of
medium size two yards of material
forty -four inches in width will be re-
luired.

Captain HANS Long Swim.

Captain John Half, the famous
eastern shore swimmer and athlete,
had narrow escape from drowning
last week. He was out sailing ON the
seaside, and, in endeavoring to free
small boat from the one he was sailing
in, he fell overheard. His boat sailed
away from him, leaving him several
miles from land to battle with the
wind and waves as best he could. He
was in the water for more than an
hour and was almost exhausted when
he reached the shore. Captain Half
has had many hairbreadth escapes by
sea and land, and on one occasion he
was in the water for nearly three days
and nights before he was rescued. -

An eminent American artist, who is
now an old man, has never forgotten
the lesson he learned from Sir Frede-
rick Leighton in his youth. Leigh
ton was then brilliant and fascinat-
ing young painter, whose future was
still before him. He was at work
upon an italian landscape, or upon
picture with an Italian background.
In that background he was anxious to
introduce an olive tree. He remem-
bered tree which he had seen in
the south of Italy, and remembered it
quite distinctly enough to reproduce
1t, but he was not content to trust his
memory.
The American artist remembers how
Leighton came into cafe in Rome on
his way to Southern Italy, making the
long journey from England for the ex-
press purpose of studying that olive
tree and of taking home an exact
sketch of it, and he remembers also
how, four or five weeks later, the ar
dent young Englishman, brilliant, en-
thusiastic, versatile, but with Ca
pacity for taking pains, reappeared
with q wonderful sketch of the olive
tree, upon which he had spent days
of unbroken observation and
work. From this little incident the
American student learned lesson
which he never forgot, and which went
far to secure the success which came
to him later in life The story illus
trates the great quality which lies be-
hind all real success; alike for the man
of genius and the man of talent. Out

Archdeacon Phair, who has spent
many years in the remote northwest
as missionary for the Church of Eng
land and is at present in Montreal,
states that intending Klondikers who
think of taking dogs with them are
making very serious mistake. Mr..
Phair says that the ''huskies," or Es-
qnimau dogs, are well protected with
growth of hair between their toes,
which prevents their feet from being
frozen. Imported dogs have not this
necessary pedal extremity protection,
and every dog taken into the Klon-
dixie during this winter is sure to suf-
fer and be rendered quite useless.

Skirt Binding,

Many things have been tried to
keep the bottoms of gowns from wear
ing out, but the bindings soon grow
untidy and worn. One desperate
woman used leather, but it was heavy
and made the skirt hang unevenly.
She wanted to know if some one would
not invent tin binding. The latest
thing is the brush braid. 1t is a sort
of diminutive STRENGTHENING affair,
and looks like the ordinary velvet.
1t will last almost as long as the
skirt and saves busy woman many
