FROM BRIDGET TO MARC UERITE.
IT'S education forms the common
mind, says Pope, and we suppose it
will be generally admitted that the
uncommon mind is influenced, if not
formed, by education. What education
can do for an uncommon mind is indi-
Gated in the case of a girl with an I'M
common mind who has had the benefit
of an education in the Philadelphia
Girls Normal School. This girl is of
humble parentage, but her uncommon
mind prompted her to soar above all
that is humble. So she scared and
scared and SCARED until she got as high
as the Normal School Then education
began to tell on her and she began to
tell on it. When she entered the school
she gave her name as Bridget During
her first year Bridget changed to
Brigetta. During her second year the
first syllable was dropped, and she be-
came Eta. That developed into Mar
garetta. and when she received her di-
ploma her name was Marguerite.
From Bridget to Marguerite. Just
pause for a minute and think what
distance that is. The girl whose UNI
common mind, influenced by education,
impelled her to make that Journey is a
girl who will probably be heard from
again. Watch for her hyphenated name
when she gets married.

GLORY md GRATITUD Il.

Mr.. Willett of the Sugar Trade Jour-
nal undoubtedly knows something
about sugar. Some folks have also sup
posed that he knows something about
Sugar" He thinks he does. and out
of the fulness of his idea of that knowI-
edge he asserts that every man in
every New England town who can
raise $780, should own a share of the
stock of the American Sugar Refining
trust. AS Mr.. Willett sees the matter,
there are three inducements which
should lead the small investor to make
such a purchase--frst, glory; second
gratitude; third, profit. ITO be point
ed OUT he says, "as copartner in the
greatest business of the United States,
reaching in its influence the entire cit
izenship of the country, is no small
thing So much for glory AS to
gratitude, 1.-THE American Sugar Refin-
ing company, so far from being the 'oc-
topus' regularly produced at every ses-
sion of Congress as worthy Of extermn-
alton, is the greatest philanthropist of
the age, in that it gives the universal
necessity of life to every person from
the cradle to the grave, and three times
every day." Good enough. But will
the glory and the gratitude pay? Mr.
Willett expresses his belief that the
full 10 per cent. dividend will be paid
for 1900 at the close of the year, but he
gives no real solid and convincing rea-
son for the faith that is in him.
Many people are "in Sugar" at a,
point where the glory and gratitude
arguments are just now the only ones
that can appeal to them very strongly
and there are no indications of any
great rush to get in even at the present
price, where glory, gratitude and profit,
according to Mr.. Willett, combine to
urge the investor on and in. We be-
leve the usual way in Sugar has been
that those who have bought it have
wished they hadn't and those who
haven't bought it have wished they
had.

LIGHTNING AND ELECTRIC
LAMPS.

A Curious Phenomenon Detected by
Photography in a Thunderstorm.
| A somewhat puzzling revelation has
| just been made regarding the effect OF
| lightning upon ordinary electric lights
| by Sydney Webb, of Dover, England.
| He describes it in Mature" During
a series of thunderstorms he exposed
Photographic plates. When his plat -
were developed they exhibited, in add
ton to the lightning, number OF lumi-
nous streaks, each of which appeared
to emanate from the electric lights
which were in ihs field of view,
The course pursued by the streaiss
waa Irregular and sinuous. In some in
stances they seemed to proceed from tie
lamp to the earth. first reaching side
wise and then downward. In other
cases they made an excursion outward
and then returned to the lamp. Some
of the photographs of Mr.. Webb were
taken after the season had arrived in
Dover for experimenting the arc lights
with festoons of incandescent lamps.
But 1t was from the former only that
the luminous streaks proceeded Under
certain circumstances it was noticed

GooD INCOME FROM A spBrNG

Some of the interior county farmers Of
Pennsylvanis may we'll look with envy
upon Mr. Simpson of Chester county.
From spring of water on his premises
he is deriving net revenue Of sixteen
dollars per DAY. There liz large class
OF people in Philadelphia who do not
care to wall I'D their stor1acfs with
mc1tar through drinking the ordinary
CITY water. So Mr.. Simpson meets the
demand for pure water by sending two
wagon loads of the necessity from his
spring daily. Each wagon carries fifty
six jars of five gallons each.-Philadel-

THE NEW PICTURE IN THE HAIR
WARD LAW SCHOOL.

An extraordinary thing has happened;
the portrait of woman now hangs
among the two or three hundreds of
judges, barristere and law writers that
distinguish the walls of Harvard's Law
school. It's presence is the recognition
of the labors of the widow of John
Austin, English law writer.
Mrs. Austin was unwilling to leave
her husbands life work unappreciated
and made efforts to secure some one to
prepare the new edition of his lectures
on jurisprudence but there was no one,
and her friends urged that she take up
the task herself, and at last she did so,

| Frequently, too, the tulle and blossoms
go together. The hat remaining in the
artists sketch was an example of this,
It's gathered tulle was a pale violet
shade, and for trimming there were
purple violets, their leaves and a bow
OF darker violet ribbon.

with its rounding up brim, haa become
more fashionable. The favorite trim

chiffon mashed right in front. 1t
brushes down below the edge of the hat
and almost into the eyes of the wearer,
while each side of it the hat pushes
back and shows the hair. The pompa-
dour hat which sets well back of the
front roll of hair is also trimmed in this
way, the choux pushing the roll of hair
to either side and -encroaching on the
forehead. The eo-called sailor has given

Panne velvet in light weight and brill

early spring walking hat of dull brown

at one side and sometimes handkerchief
corners extend from the bunch and pass
about the crown. The quill of hand
some straight feather passes through
the velvet as if holding it in place. This

FASHION MOTIF


Here are four attractive examples of
spring millinery, which as usual, is
noticeable for beauties and great va
riety. The topmost hat was canary
colored chiffon draped with cream lace,
a large white bird-of-paradise serving
as front trimming. Directly beneath 1t
is a toque made of pink rose buds and
green leaves. A large bow of pink satin
ribbon lowered above it. In the same
general class as to composition was the
right hand model, which was of Russian
violets and foliage. with a bunch of
grass added. Tulle and other transpar-
encies are to be abundant in spring
hats, but they cannot, as these two
samples indicate, crowd out the mllin-
cry that suggests dollhouse flower bed.

large megaphones with sirens as fog
signals. 1t has been found that the di-

projected with a powerful megaphone

of eight or ten miles. In the expert
ments which have been carried on at
the Faulkners Island lighthouse station
a megaphone seventeen feet in length
and seven feet in diameter at the mouth
has been employed. The apparatus is
mounted upon a circular platform
twenty-eight feet in diameter, upon
which it revolves. There are different
signals for the different directions, the
signals being fifteen seconds apart, and
the entire revolution occupying two
minutes. When the megaphone points
to the west the appropriate signal is
