Much confusion has arisen from con-

nous laurel of the ancients e.. nobilis).
The former was not introduced into
Europe until 1876. Its leaves contain
the potent poison prussic acid, where
as the leaves Of L. nobilis contain a
fragrant aromatic oil used in confec-
tionery. 1t is to this, the true laurel.

use it as poetical term for an hon

prize for any kind of victory or excel

We apparently get the word bay
through the Latin bacca, berry from
the French baye, or, as Hollands
"Plinie" has it, 1.-The bales or berries

is supposed by some to be derived from
the ancient practice of browning candi-
dates for honors with bay leaves and
berries, whence the term baccalaureus
and laureate. Those who were found
worthy of the honor obtained the lau,

THREE SHORT TALES.
Modern Children Who Are In ToucI,
with the Ways of the World

with the Ways of the World.
A writer in the Outlook, after lavish
ing pity on the little children of the
rich, who by modern educational meth
ods he AYERS, are made blase before
they reach their teens, continues:
Listen, you who are murmuring "old
fogy' under your breath - listen to
three short but pregnant tales:
Past the spectators window one
morning loitered two chubby little lads.
their arms around each others neck.
The spectator thought to himself what
pretty picture of childish unsdphisti-
cation they made. When they spoke,
however, he caught his breath. 81 won
So yesterday" remarked the younger
of the two, who may possibly have
been eight. Honest? How demand
ed the other, big eyed. ooh, my father
and bet on race, and my horse won,"
was the nonchalant reply.
Before the spectator had fairly recov-
cred from the staggering effect of this
speech a group Of little girls drew up
them was in difficulties with her hair,
which had been dressed in some occult
feminine fashion beyond the spectators
power to describe and had slipped it's
ribbon. AS an older girl struggled to re-
duce it to order she said remonstrat-
ingly: "What makes you try to wear it
this way, Gladys? It's much too
short" The little tot turned on her a
whitening glance. Its the fashion,"
she exclaimed, with crushing finality.
To these disclosures Of unblinking So
phistication may be added the tale Of
neighbor whose little boy is just six.
He had hoped to keep the child uncon-
scious that he is the heir Of millions
and had brought him up in the strictest
simplicity. And yet the other night, as
he climbed on his fathers knee for a
good night kiss, he electrified the father
by demanding, Papa, how much are
you worth?"

"You must go slow, Danielson," he
said warningiy. You are only twenty
eight, and Liza is no ordinary girl. But
you know the impossibilty."
For moment his companion made
no reply; then he said:
Eyes, I know the impossibility. I
have convinced myself of it a dozen
times. The girl is absolutely ignorant,
a cracker in the extreme sense of the
term, while am what books and mon
ey have made me, and yet" after long
pause, las soon as convince myself of
its absurdity l am sure to begin to
make plans to take her north and give
her an education
The next afternoon as the two were
practicing together Mr.. Danielson ask
ed in matter of fact tone:
"How would you like to go north and
study music, Liza|'
She raised her eyes frankly. This
was one of her attractions. She never
showed embarrassment or self con-
seriousness.

right MUCH" she said simply. "but

There was a usefulness in her voice
which he took instant advantage Of.
"If you could arrange to go north
with u.s." he said eagerly, "you wou d
have a chance to learn everything. My
mother would look after you, and
Hits too late, an there's other
things"
"What?"
At this moment Mr.. Lowery came
up. With him was young man in
rough costume.

said Mr.. Lowery, "but l want you tc
know my friend Norton. You've heard
me speak of him-my guide among the
keys; saved my life off AnclOte and

Mr.. Danielson advanced cordially
He had heard many stories of this
brave guide and was glad to meet him
But before he could grasp the hand

Swelling the Unsuccessful Ranks.

A great many men have been left be-
hind because of their listlessness, their
easy going ways. They were too slow.
Opportunities would not wait for them.
They would have taken advantage of
them, would have succeeded, if the
chance had not hurried by so fast. If
the opportunities had tarried awhile,
had given them a chance to look them
over and consult their friends or If
they had only come back, these gentle
people would now be on the heights in
stead of looking wistfully up from the
foot of the mountain. But, alas, oppor
tunities never return. and he who is
not ready to seize them as they fiji
onward will have only regrets for his
portion.

PANIC IN A CAR
New Yorker Dies in Crowd So Dense
the Body Remained Upright.

New York, Dec. 31.-After struggling
thru a dense crowd at the Rector street
station of the Ninth avenue elevated
line and securing standing room near
the center of the car That was packed
to the DOORS, Charles Vessel. who was
one of the best known metallurgists in
the country. dropped dead Tuesday af-
ternoon in the train just as it was about
to enter the Cortlandt street station.
The greatest excitement followed Mr..
Vessels death, and it seemed at first
IS If there would be panic. There
was not room for the body to fan, and
as 1t toppled over it carried down an
old woman, but she was not injured.
The crowd surged away. leaving space
for the body to fall backward to the
floor.
Mr. Vessel was 65 years old and
weighed 225 pounds. Noting the eX-
citement in the center of the car curious
| people tried to push in that direction
from the ends of the Car, and those who
stood near him were unable TO lift the
| man up.
When the train ran up to Cortlandt
street the station platform was crowd
ed. The guards on the train had been
| signaled not TO open the gates, and
there vas a wild scramble at first,
many men trying to jump over them
The guards shouted to one of the
guards on the station platform to call
| a policeman. When Putrolman WSnne
reached the platform and saw inc
| crowd he thought a fight was in pro-
gress. He drew his club and pushed
his way to the car in which Mr.. Wes-
sci. had died. On being informed that
| o man had died in the car Wynne sent
| Tor Patrolman Woolley.
The train had then been detained for
three minutes, and the crowd on the
| platform was steadily increasing. All
were crowding forward. eager to. learn
what had happened. Wynne saw that
| two policemen were not enough, so lie
sent for the reserves. SIX men were
sent. One of the policemen was sta
toned at the bottom of the steps iead-
| ing to the station to prevent any more
persons crowding up. and the olhers
| cleared a way thru the station ana the
| platform to the car. Inc booy was
| then taken out with much dlfhculty.
In the meantime an ambulance mad
| heen summoned from the Hudson street
\ hospital. DIR. Cooke examined the bodS
in the staten and said death was due
to apoplexy.
The body was carried down the sta
| t;on steus and placed in the patrol Wag-
| on of the Church street station. IL re-
| o,ired four men to carry the body down
and place it in the wagon. The crowd
in the street had increased to 400 per-
sons Ali complaining at the delay and
anxious to get home
