HIGH SCHOOL GOSSIP.

The question of a class pin for the
graduating class of 1900 is exciting
much interest. Several meetings have
been held and yet no permanent pin
has been decided on. Many Of the
boys who are opposed to the triangular
shape pin on the ground that it re-
sembles that of a secret organization
in too many respects, are opposed by
a certain few who are in favor of it.

Electricity is the latest thing. OF
courst it is. Everybody knows that.
But as a beautifier it has grown to be
the fad of the hour. If you are a man
and come home some day to find your
mother rejuvenated and looking any
where from ten to twenty-five years
younger, you may know that she has
been receiving electrical massage. If
you suddenly discover that your wife
is prettier than she was when you
married her; that the gray hairs she
had last week are invisible today, and
that you must have dreamed she was
acquiring a few wrinkles between her
eyes, you may fancy it is because you
are growing more amiable or have re-
formed or something, but it is more
probable that she has been visiting
the electrical manipulator; that she is
just as well aware OF the improvement
in her appearance as are you, and that
you might as well hand over the money
for that new tailor gown at once.
If you don't have turkey and cer-
tain expensive but favorite pudding
as often as you believe to be your
right, you may confidently assume that
she is saving money for extra treat
lllSlllS lIOlll an GA pert III DtIuly max
ing. If she becomes suddenly very
grasping and prefers money to theatre
tickets or new curtains, you may be
equally sure she is going in for the
new fad.
The doctors have discovered that
wrinkles and other stupid accompani-
ments of age and worry result from
Cf ri In fhn
So if you are patron of the new treat
ment you sit down by the dressing
table and hear a persistent buzzing
which calls up unpleasant recollections
of dentistry. You are told to clasp a
convenient little cylinder attached to
the buzzer by a fierce green string,
while a sponge similarly attached, and
wet with tonic is rapidly passed over
your head close to the roots of the
hair.
1t is little like being electrocuted,
but not quite, and 1t raises your hair
literally together with any dandruff
accruing thereto, and it gives you queer
little thrills, while if you've had a
| headache that disorder will have fed.
But it is good for the scalp, very, and
| it stimulates the growth of the hair,
arrests grayness and seems to destroy
any disease germs. One is always in
tensely sleepy after a treatment, which
| is good thing in Scranton, where the
days and nights aren't long enough to
| permit sufficient slumber.
The electrical application is equally
good for the face, as it gives new life
| to the sluggish pores and strengthens
the flabby muscles. Careful massage
and plentiful supply of skin food af-
ter an electrical treatment will worl,
wonders in even the most haggard

tlon, 1t is no longer an evidence Of spe-
cial god taste and breeding to regard
everything and everybody with cool
stare of Indifference. 1t is fashionable
to give some expression to emotions, to
make no EFFORT to studiously conceal
the pleasure which is felt at the sight
of the beautiful or interesting. In
fact, we seem TO be coming to an age
OF enthusiasm when to repress sentl-
ments of delight at something delight
full; to be cold and sharp in criticisms
and unsympathetic is to openly bear
the mark of affectation or lack of in
tclligence.
The woman who will not laugh hear
tlly or weep, who will not frown or
smile much will go down to her grave
with a brow which has never nee lei
massage or electricity for effacing its
lines. There never will be any lines.
But what cold, hard life. when feel
ings of grief or Eladners must not be
entertained lest they mar the mask
1t Is so much better to laugh when
there is something pleasant, to cry as
heartily over somebody elses woes; to
smile at the world and to go through
life with a beautiful enthusiasm. a
capacity for enjoying goodness, beauty
truth and a frank acknowledgment Of
that pleasure.
The person who sees life forever sit
ting in the sunshine and crowned with
halo may not have the superfine ear,
the over-cultivated eye the hyper
critical taste which hea'7 sees and
recognizes flaws in everything, which
has lost the joy of enthusiasm: but
there is a richer strain in the mere
fact of living, a daily renewed Zest
that will recompense all loss, for there
is law of compensation which works
In the ratio of giving and receiving.
What we send forth in the way of
thoughts, words deeds, returns to us
in kind
In meditating on the truth Of this
inneXible law we cannot but be struck
with an awed sense of the responsible
ity we assume presuming to sit in
judgment on the other mortals in our
vicinity, ard to estimate the Eradations
in blacKness of their own particular
sins or errors. How do we know that
In the eyes of One who ever weighs
these matters from the serene height
of infallible justice. the little white"
lie we told yesterday may not be as
dark a blot on the page of all records
as the hateful sin Of another. at the
name of which we shrink in horror?
How do we know that the bitter
grudge we have held for years against
one who has wronged us may not
leave as deep a scar on the fair face of
the soul as did some act of another's
which in our eyes was shameful? What
precious comfort it is that we are
not expected, with our limited, one
sided point of view, to make an ire
vocable decision as to the grade of
other peoples failings in the scale of

He says that ten men deserted the YES

cancies could be filed before the de-
parture Of he vessel from Honolulu.
According to Burns the transport
leaked three days after leaving port
and the condensers broke down. The
refrigerating plant collapsed before
the vessel reached Honolulu. Burns
states that the ships carpenter, who
was called into consultation regarding
the condition Of the vessel, was one of
those who deserted at Honolulu. He
states that the hold was so full OF
water that the floor of the lower state
rooms were awash and that he was
compelled to seek berth in the SOL
