Look Out For Your Pate.

A contemporary says pate" Is slang
for head. 1t is. eh? Wherefore? Sure
ly the word is used in a trivial or de-
rogatory sense, as noddle, noggin, era
MUM, brainpan. etc. but its origin is
eminently respectable Shakespeare
says ''the learned pate ducks to the
golden fool" Pope's epigram Is good:
You beat your pate and fancy wit win
come;
Knock as you please. there's nobody at
We have "bald pate" and SHAVE
pate" Why, the word IL used once In
the Bible, and by David. in Psalm VII.
16, His mischief shall return upon his
own head, and his violent dealing shall
come down upon his own pate" Ae-
curately, pate does not mean the head,
but the crown Of the head.-New York

JACKAL's LAUGH.
to deceive human beings. I have here
two tubes exactly alike"-and he took
them from bis waistcoat pocket-'-one
containing thanatine, the other COM
mon salt. l first poured some Of the
thanatine upon this paper. and then
when more of it seemed to be desired
poured some of the salt, but you
and everybody else here present sup
posed that / used the same tube and
poured out the same substance as be-
fore. The result is that one half OF
this little heap-the half upon the right
other half is salt And neither you
nor any other man alive with his un-
aided eye can tell where the salt ends
and the poison begins. With such
simple trickery can human beings be
deluded; to such errors their senses are
liable. Whether it is a question Of this
heap Of white powder or of man seen
in the dusk upon the streets Of Dur
ham we may all be deceived; we may
all be mistaken.
But not all the devices nor the cum
ming of all the men on earth can de-
ceive one drop of this acid 1t Is never
mistaken. Always, from the beginning
to the end of eternity and under all
possible conditions, it knows and
speaks the truth. 1t cannot be de-
eeived, it cannot lie, for its know1-
edge is the wisdom Of God, and its
truth is his TRUTH"
Surely l never had heard that simple
fact brought home to me with such
conviction before-that there is no ly-
ing in nature and no error. And think
1t was the same with all there present.
The faces of the jurymen changed
from wonder to a stern purpose, while
Moore's face was the picture Of cow
ard in the presence of his deserts.
"One thousand times,' continued
Warren, "you may test the right side
and the left side of this heap of pow
der. and until your own fallible hand
shall mix the substances the result viii
always be what you have seen. When
1t shall have mixed them. though you
do not know it, one drop of this acid
| will tell you. without prejudice, with
out hesitation, with absolute certain
ty."
Then at the judges request the chem
| list proved his saying. He tested re-
peatedly from the two sides Of the lit
tie mound of powder-always the clear
| fluid from the salt; always the green
| glow from the poison. The effect OF
| the chemists trick, which he had pre-
| pared as q rebuke to the prisoners
lawyer, was such that no argument OF
counsel could overthrow it, and q yer.
dict of guilty followed.
But for Professor Warren I am sure
a guilty man would have escaped his
due. And. by the way. the difference
between fallible human testimony and

covery of the man whom Deacon Lew

RAILWAY FRANCHISE
ONCE MORE HELD UP
President Melvin Announces II will
be Granted When Old Paving
Bill Is Paid

Directors of the Street and Sewer De
partment and officials Of the Peoples
Railway Company aud the Brandywine
Railway Company discussed fran-
chises and bills yesterday afternoon
for two hours. The franchise was no.
granted and the bill was not paid. 1t
was practically decided TO take favorable
action ON the Brandywine Company
charter when the Peoples Company pays
the bill il owes the city. The same peo-
pie are interested in both companies.
The officials of the railway company
would like TO have the hill arbitrated and
this question will be settled at the next
meeting TO be held on Tuesday.
At yesterday afternoons meeting. w.
S. Hilles, attorney for the company, said
that some of the provisions in the fran
chisc as has been drafted, were strict
ures on the companyi One, was. he said,
the clause requiring the company TO light
the section through which it proposes to
operate line. Mr.. Johnson said ne
thought something should b. given in re-
turn for a valuable privilege. 1t was
finally agreed 10 take out this clause as
there are but two squares which are not
lighted.
Mr.. Melvin said he thought there
should be a time limit placed on the fran
chise. Mr.. Hilles said that if this was
done, the company did not want the fran
chise as it would be impossible to finance
the road.
Mr.. Melvin said there should be a time
limit even if it was for 999 years. The
board. he held. did not have a right 20
give away things forever. Spoiswood

The extraordinarily low prices asked
for foulard silks would indicate, TO the
initiated. that foulards are going out
Of fashion. On the contrary, they are
more in demand than ever, and the new
patterns and colors are probably quite
as expensive as ever. Upquestionably
pongee silks are smarter but they are
not by any means the only silks in
style, and both foulard and pongee are
necessary TO any fashionable ward
robe.
Many women who are inclined TO be
stout and who do not think they lOOk
well in wash frOcks and who buy
foulards instead, contend that the ma
terial itself is cooler and, besides, can
be made simply but with fitted lining
and that a foulard gown wears twice
as long as any cotton one and that it
will clean far better. Polka dot
foulards are always fashionable, and
this year are as popular as ever. Blue,
green, brown and gray, with white
polka dots, are all very fashionable,
and very effective. AS result, silk
drop skirt Is not considered necessary,
a silk ruffle or a nearsilk or percaline
lining being quite good enough. A
foulard at the reasonable price now
asked. and not made on silk, costs lit
tie, il any more, than a cotton gown,
and is really more serviceable.
The expensive foulards are, as al
ways, charming and attractive in col
oring and design, and are made up
quite elabOrately, trimmed with lace
and batiste embroidery and velvet rib
bons, and small steel or rhinestone
buckles The palest of colorings art
thought the most fashionable, and silk
lining is a necessity. Consequently the
cost must needs be considerable, espe-
cially when the important item OF
handwOrk in tucks, pleats and hem.
stitching is also included.
The plain colored pOngees have rath-
er taken precedence over the plair
foulards and the figured foulards are
smarter in consequence. Both large
and small patterns are fashionable
and white and black scroll work ovel
some solid color is considered espe
cially desirable. Neither plain nor col
ored foulards are considered smart fol
evening gowns, however, but for after
noon receptions are most charming
and much in demand. Red and gray
and brown are the three favorite col
ors, and are to be found in several diff
ferent shades.
