George Gu Maurier Was Both dumor-
Gus and Sarcastic.
No woman's leeve can be out Of
style this season, providing it bags
somewhat. Would that such was the
fashionable edict on mems trousers.
The only girl entitled to crow much
now is the one who has white leg

Woman ever is, ever was and ever
shall be al enigma in mans mind.
Sarcasm is woman's strongest de-
Tense, and her meanest.
Most women derive a great deal of
satisfaction from being considered
martyrs.
1t sometimes happens that WON
an first admission that her husband
has faults comes when she has to ex-

A little work, little play
To keep us going-and so good-day!
a little warmth, a little light

A little fun to match the sorrow
OF each days growing and so good

A little trust that when we die
We reap our sowing And so-good-

WAS THE DEAcoN's TURN.
Drunkard's Advice to Pillar of Phil
adelphia Church.

Orunkard's Advice to Pillar OF Phil
adeIphia Church.
A drunken man staggered into a
church in Philadelphia some years ago
and sat down in the pew of one of
the deacons. The preacher was dis
coursing about prevalent popular
vices. Soon he exclaimed. Where is
the drunkard?" The drunken man was
just far enough gone to think the call
personal, so. rising heavily, replied:
Here l am" and remained standing
while the drunkard's character and
fate were eloquently portrayed. A few
minutes later the preacher reached an
other head of his discourse, and asked:
Where is the hypocrite?" Gently
nudging his neighbor, the drunkard
said, in an audible whisper: STAND
up, deacon; he means you this time
Stand up and take it like a man, Just
as l stand 1t will do you good"

Fact and Poetry.

Or. Lyman Abbott is undoubtedly
right in saying that we cannot sing

of the old oaken bucket, nor have the
same feeling for the hole in the floor
the heat comes through as we had for
the old time hearth; nor can we write
Of the water bug in the pipe as OF
the cricket on the hearth. But who
would go back to the poetic old-fash-

FIRST STAGE OF CATARRH.
A Serious Mistake Which Thou
sands Are Making.

The first stage of catarrh is what is
commonly known as catching cold. " 1t
may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs.
Its beginning is sometimes so severe as
to cause a chill and considerable fever, or
it may be so slight as to not hinder a person
from his usual business. In perhaps a
majority of cases little or no attention is
paid to the first stage of catarrh, and hence
it is that nearly one-half of the people have
chronic catarrh in some form.
To neglect a cold is to invite chronic
Satarrh. AS soon as any one discovers

The present year will witness some
interesting developments in locomo-

F. B. Behr hopes portion of his Man
chester-Liverpool monorail electric ex-

cars will be running at the rate OF llO
miles an hour. Mr.. Behr will introduce
a bill at the next session for London
Brighton monorail road, which will
take Londoners down to the sea in half
an hour.
Many big railway companies are cleo
trifying portions of their lines. By the
close of 1908 trains will be running by
electricity.
There are also to be some novelties
in ocean travel. In May the first tur-
bine-driven cross-channel steamer will
commence running between Dover and
Calais.
In August another turbine vessel
will be placed on the New Haven-Dieppe
service. In April the most powerfully
engined liner in the world will start
running, viz. the North German Lloyd
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm Der Zweite.

PROPHECY FULFILLED.

More Than Been Realized In the
Electrical World.

The Electrical Review in its last issue
publishes the diary kept by Samuel +.
b.. Morse during his earliest work on
the Baltimore and Washington tele-
graph line in the year 1s43. The BOOK
was discovered in the library OF Thomas
A. Edison, at Orange, N. j. under
date of August 10, 1s43, Mr.. Morse oe-
scribes certain tests he had MADE anu
makes the following interesting proph-
ecy:
"The practical inference from TINS
law is that telegraphic communica-
ton on my plan may, with certainty
be established across the Atlantic'
Startling as this may seem now, the
time will come when this project Will
be realized"
Commenting ON this prophecy, the
Electrical Review says:
To-day there is no ocean unsPanned
by telegraphic cable. We have com
pleted the first Pacific cable and have
made good start on the second, and
Marconi has established communica-
ton across the Atlantic without wires

NEW PLATINUM MINES.

quickly got abroad and swarms of
miners started for the newcamp. With
In month $4,000 men were on the spot
digging like demons, and before the po-
lice could get to the camp more than
$1.5OO,00o Forth of platinum, it is esti-
mated, got clear away, no one knew
how nor where.
Matters are now being regulated by
the police, but the miners do not like
the regulations, and most of them
are leaving, preferring to return home
rather than submit to gathering
wealth slowly. A few Of the wiser ones
remain, thinking that they will be
able to regulate" the police. 1t is
believed that the new Gusseva mines
could supply the whole world with this
valuable metal.

COST A PRETTY SUM.
Ceremonies at Durbar Required Ex-
penditure Of $40, 700, 900.
Lord CURSOR Praised for So Success
fully Carrying Out a Spectacle
which Was Unique In the
Annals of World.

Now that the magnificence OF the
durbar has gone, people are counting
the cost. Including the bill the In
dian government will have to pay, the
expenditures incurred by the Indian
princes and chiefs and the English
governors and lieutenant governors,
it is safe to say that at least $4,000
900 has been spent in furnishing
spectacle unique in the annals OF the
world.
The Indian governments bill is like
" to exceed $3,750,000. The cost to
Lord Curzon personally has been very
great, for q large number of guests
were entertained by him entirely at
his own expense.
The expenses Of the native princes
and chiefs vary greatly, from the $780,
600 said to have been spent by the
MAN of Hyderabad to the $50,000,000,
for which sum the minor chiefs were
able to make but an Indifferent dis
play. When 1t is remembered that the
number of these princes and chiefs
reaches nearly 100, the total expendi-
ture can easily be calculated.
The governors of Madras and Bonn
bay and lieutenant governors of the
several provinces found it possible by
the exercise of careful European su-
pervision to keep down the complete
cost of their camps to about $4,000.
Of the various events the procession
durbar was undoubtedly the most i'm
pressive, and the review of the retinues
of the native chiefs was the most pic
turesque, while the natives appreciated
the fireworks most of all.
The ball in the Dewaniam was the
most gorgeous scene, as the investiture
was the most stately, but the weari-
some state entry into Delhi was very
remarkable as an example of organiza-

IN FOURTEEN FEET OF ICE.
PIow It's Way Through Thick
FlOes in the North.

Admiral Makarov, in an interesting
paper before the Russian Imperial Ge-
ographical society, at St. Peters burg,
has summed up the results attained by
him in polar navigation on the YER
max.
His attempt in 1899 showed the hull
was too weak to bear the pressure of
the ice pack heaped up by its own mo-
ton. After strengthening and reshap-
ing the bows, the Yermak made its sec
ond cruise in 1901.
In two voyages between Nova Fem
bla and Franz Josef Land she easily
disposed of ice IA feet thick until she
was finally hemmed in and delayed
three weeks off the former island on
account of the immense masses of ice 60
feet high driven up by unusually per-
sistent southern winds.
