A Plucky Dame of 1776.

The spirit Of rs, as is well known,
was manifest not only in the courage
and heroism Of the men Of that stirring
period but in the bravery Of women
as we'll.
My reat-grandmother," said Miss
Anne, '1ived near Trenton, N. j., not
far from where one Of the great bat
ties was fought. She was married,
but her husband had gone to war; and,
with two other young married women,
cousins, whose husbands had also
joined the Revolutionary Army, she
remained in the old homestead, await
ing anxiously such meager bits of war
news as might come to them from the
distant fields of action.
Zone day, at noon, when the three
women We're seated at dinner, each
with a babe in her arms, little troop
Of British soldiery rode up to the house.
The women heard their noisy approach
but before they had time to move the
soldiers, an officer and two men, in
full uniform, ard with jingling spurs,
We're in the room. Doffing his hat, the
young officer sharply accosted the wife
seated nearest him:
Madame, where is your husband 2
He has gone to town. faltered the
timid creature.
"'And your husband, madame?' he
peremptorily demanded of the next
young woman.
He is somewhere out on the farm,
she stammered, equally frightened.
"Then the officer addressed this same
query to my great-grandmother:
"'Where is your husband, madame 2
my great grandmother rose to her
feet, and said boldly:
He is gone to fight the British
"'Goodv exclaimed the officer. and
he slapped my great-grandmother on
the shoulder, as if she were a man
and comrade-at-arms; you're the girl
for me!'
"Then, with his men, the officer with
drew, leaving the old home and it's de-
fenseless occupants unmolested."

1t may as well be admitted that col
1ege training doesn't teach a man to
keep books OR to sell goods. What
education aims to do is to educate-to
develop the man, to awaken him to
the problems of the world, to widen
his horizon. There is no danger that
not enough attention shall be given to
commercial development. But there
is possibility that the business man
may become narrowed to his task
and fail to take an interest in the
world Of ideas about him. reflects the
Kansas City Star. Education ought
not to prevent a man from acquiring
the necessary details of business. And
it ought to make him a more valuable
citizen. That most successful business
men believe this is shown by the fact
that they are sending their sons to
college.

How Forests Affect the Air.

Professor Mouiliefert, af the National
Agricultural College of Grignon, France,
explains why it is that a balloon al
ways descends when it is passing over
a forest, making it necessary for the
voyagers to throw out ballast to give
it greater buoyancy. Above every
forest there is a stratum Of cool, moist
air, produced by the abundant tran
SEPARATION Of the trees, which extends
from 5000 to 5000 feet above the tree
tops. In speaking of the absorption
Of moisture frem the soil by the tree
roots, he says that the moisture is
taken from the under soil, the trees
keeping the upper soil moist to a
depth Of four or five inches.

The unfortunate fact that there are
so many unsuccessful and disappointed

THE YESTERDAYS OF NATIONS.

Once the trumpet in brazen glee
Sang at the palace gates;
Once the masters of minstrelsy
Babbled of loves and hates;
Once the sword in the jeweled sheath
Clamored along the way
Dead to-day, with the crumbled wreath
Worn in that yesterday.
So the glamour and so the pride
Marble and brass and gold
Dust of ages to come will hide
Tombs of the years will hold.
We, unknowing and overvan,
Strong in our sweep and sway,
Hug the baubles that mark our reign
Living our yesterday.

A farmers son, who came 20 Yale

large part of his belongings tied in a
handkerchief, is the most talked OF
man in the college now. and not only
the brightest man in his class, but, in

His name Is Frederick Il. Pierce and
he is the son OF a retired Congrega,

early displayed a fine mind and was
encouraged by the professors. He did
