New York, April 2S.-Former Gov
ernor James S. Hogg of Texas, who
would not don knee breeches and girdle
on a sword in order to meet the King
Of England, was at the Waldorf-As

the inside history of the invitation and
declination, he said:

Texas oil wells. Well, most every Eng
lishman has heard that American oil
is good thing, and every Duke and
Duchess wanted a well. That's why
they took me up in social way. /

Two Curious DueIs.

From the New YORK sun.
Two peasants quarreled at a game
of cards in Budapest a few days ago,
and one promptly challenged the 9TH
err. A duel was arranged, and. when
the combatants met on the field. their
eyes were bandaged, pistols were put
in their hands and they were ordered
to fire.
AS a result, one was killed and the
other was arrested. together with the
witnesses and seconds-a proceeding
which surprised them very much, as
they claimed that men in society fought
duels' constantly and were never ar
rested.
On the same day and near the same
place two servant girls fought a duel
with knives, their object being to de-
termine which of them should become
the wife of a handsome soldier. The
duel was conducted according to or
thodox rules, and it did not end until
the two girls were so severely wounded
that they could fight no longer.

VOGUE OF THE BOX PLAT.

Box plaits are quite the rage, says
an exchange, and range from a pro-
fusion of narrow ones to the broad
namesake of Gibson. An example in
beige etamine shows clusters of five at
both the back and front of the blouse,
with corresponding clusters on the
skirt so arranged as to seem contin-
uations of the upper scheme. Two
clusters of box plaits are let in at
each side of the skirt, each having a
point at the top of which hardly
reaches the knee. There's a little turn
down collar of embroidered lizard
green velvet. This is from Francis,
and he has seen fit to shower 1t with

VALUE OF APPRECIATION"
Nv Rey r. ID CIeworfb

Fault-fnding is a poor spur to en-
deavor. 1t is a great mistake TO think
that the best way 20 secure good work
from a servant is to harshly criticise ev-
erything he has tried to do A far bet
ter way is to speak words OF encourage
ment
How much more apt father is to scold
his child when he does wrong than he is
70 praise him when he does right. How
long some parents have to wait for any
recognition of their devotion TO their chill
dren. And sometimes it never comes un-
til the loved one has passed from earth,
when exquisite floral emblems are heap
ed upon the rich casket-too late, alas,
to perfume the thorny road, and loud OK
pressions of regard mingle with lamenta-
tions, but they cannot be heard by the
ears that they should have gladdenad long
before. There should be less postmortem
and more antemortem love.
Teachers often err in showing .mpa-
fence because the slow pupils ca not see
through problems as easily as tAfs do
themselves They forget that they must
take into consideration the time elemeat.
Pupils are chary of appreciation to their
teachers who often ache for some little
word to indicate that their labor is not
in vain.
What a pity that terms of endearment
and expressions of praise should so often
end with the honeymoon. Why should a
wife be less valuable after she has kept
the table tempting and the home beautiful
for ten. twenty or thirty years than she
was the first three months? If words of
appreciation helped to make her happy
then they will work in just the same way
now.
Then let us not forget our God, whose
goodness and mercy rise before us on ev-
cry hand. Let us praise him. Praise him
with the voice of joyful Thanksgiving,
18th the heart Of adoring love, with the
life of generous, uncalculating, unreserv-
ed conservation.

SCIENTIFIC Asrionlrnre

Secretary Wilson believes that not
enough attention is paid to scientific
agriculture by the colleges of to-day,
and he has taken up the agitation Of
this matter as a hobby. Wherever he
makes a speech he tells his hearers that
his department utiliZes the services of
cry young man it can find who has
had thorough training in some branch
of scientific agriculture. There is Il
great demand for this kind of service,
and the department has the utmost diff
ficulty in holding on to its experts be-
cause of the growing outside calls that
are being made on them. There are
abo' two thousand people in the De-
partment of Agriculture who are "
gagged on scientific agricultural work,
vet hardly one of them came into the
government service fully equipped Sec
rotary Wilson calls attention to this
fact TO emphasize his statement that
the colleges should give more thought
and attention to the development of
agricultural sciences. There are some
fifty agricultural colleges in the coun-
try calling for competent teachers. and
some sixty or seventy agricultural ex-
periment stations, where there is al
WAYS an opening for a trained scientist.
There is money in becoming an agricul-
tural expert, and Secretary Wilson
thinks that our young men would do
well to choose such profession rather
than the overcrowdcd fields of law and

CHRISTIANS MUST FIGHT.
BY Bishop Samuel PaIIowy

Fight the Good Fight of Faith" This
world is a militant world The kingdom
of God upon earth is militant kingdom.
The combined forces of the world the
flesh and the devil are arrayed against
it. The fight with evil is a good fight.
There is no make-believe about evil
it is not fancy, but fact. and tremen-
dous fact 1t is not fgment Of mortal
mind a shadow, a nothing, as the shall
lowest of would-bc philosophers teach,
making every valiant knight of the cross
an exaggerated Don Quixote when charg-
ing not an actual windmill, but only he
thought of a windmill in brain which
has no real existence.
The Christian belittles or bellies is
name who is a pessimist whether from a
physiological or philosophical point of
view. To believe the world is growing
worse is a treasoiable surrender TO the
arch O. envy of mankind. The whole sweep
of Old Testament and New Testament
teaching IS toward the good, the better
and the best.

END OF A MouNTAIN.CLlMBER.

Alpine Adventure that Caused the
Death of Four Men.
Owen Glynne Jones, who was killed
with three guides while climbing the
white Tooth" in the Alps three years
ago, was one of the greatest of noun
n-climbers. The details of the .u.-
cident which ended his life at 81 are
recounted by Harold Spender in Me
Clures Magazine. Jones was II safe and
scientific climber, and | 5 death was
due TO no fault of his own. The five
men in the party, tied together with a
rope thirty feet between man and man.
proceeded in this order: The guides,
Furrer and Zurbriggen, first, then
Glynne Jones, Vuignier, another guide
and +. w. Hill. who was a schoolmas-
ter like Jones, and who, like him, pur-
sued Notwithstanding as a sport.
Coming to a difficult buttress ten feet
high, Furrer, who was in advance,
could not find hold. 1t was necessary
for him to mount first, and then pull the
others up when he had secured foot
hold; so Zurbriggen and Jones put an

crouched down to hold it. AS they
could not see what Furrer was doing
above them. they were unprepared for
a sudden shock.
1t is evident that these men were de-
pending on Furrer's success in getting
the hand hold for which he was reach
ing. Mr.. Hill. who was some feet be-
low the group about the ice-aX saw
Furrer slip. He fell upon the two OBJ
livious men beneath him. All three
went, striking Vuignier, who stood be-
tween Hill and the three falling men.
Hill had instinctiyely turned to the
rock to get a firm hold, expecting to be
carried away with the other men; but
after a few seconds he realized that he
was safe and alone. Looking round, he
saw his companions sliding at fatal
speed down the rock into the abyss.
Between him and the unfortunate men,
who were being hurled to sure death,
he saw thirty feet of rope dangling from
his aist. The faithful Vuignier had
fastened it to some point in the rock to
protect his master. The weight of the
four bodies had broken the rope, and
this saved Mr.. Hills life.
After two days of hardship, climbing
alone, Mr.. Hill arrived at the hotel
The lesson here for all climbers, those
who make a sport of it and jest with
death, and those who. in unsought
predicament. need to know how to
climb is this: Those men blundered
by allowing the fate of three men to
depend on one mans hand-hold. Again.
so far as is possible, every man in &
climbing party should know what the
others are doing, in order not to be tax
en- unawares, as were the unfortunate
men who held the ak under Fuirers
feet
