WISE WORDS.

The method Of enterprise is to plan
with audaciiy and execute with vigor;
TO sketch out a map OF possibilities
and then TO treat them us probablli-
tics.-Boyce.
True craftsmanship is the art ID
changing n nation from what it 10
into what 1t ought to be.-W. Il. Alger.
A good word is an easy obligations;
hut not to speak III requires only our
silence, which costs us nothing. Til.
lotson.
The generality of men spend the ear
ly part of their lives in contributing 10
render the latter part miserable
Bruyere.
When once a man is determined to
believe, the very absurdity Of the doc
trine does but confirm him in his
faith.-Junius.
What sad faces one always sees in
the asylums for orphans! 1t is more
fatal to neglect the heart than the
head.-Theodore Parker.
When real nobleness accompanies
the imaginary one Of birth, the inn
aglnary seems to mix with the real
and become real, too.-Greville.
Posthumous charities are the very
essence Of sel6shness, when be-
queathed by those who, when alive,
would part with nothing.-Colton.
Brevity to writing is what charity
is to all other virtues; righteousness
is nothing without the one, nor author
ship without the other.-Sydney
Smith.
Ignorance is a mere prlvatlon, by
which nothing can be produced; it is a
vacuity, in which the soul sits mo-
tionless and torpid for want Of at
ractlon.-Johnson

WOMAN SERVES IN ARMY.

Katrina Arnautova, a young Mace.
DOMAIN woman, is not a typical new
woman, though a soldier. She is about
twenty-six years Of age, very well
built and good looking, with q keen,
sympathetic expression. In a black
fur cap, a gray tunic Of military cut
and metal buttons, leather belt, gray
trousers and leggings Of a dull violet
colored wool, this woman soldier is to
be seen shoulderlng arms against the
Turks. Five have fallen by her shots.
One brother fell at the hands Of the
Turks, another was eXiled to Asia
Minor This, coupled with a strong
desire to aid In the liberation of her
native land, is responsible for her
present occupation. The men, she
says have always treated her with
great respect and kindness, wishing to
always clean her rife, leggings, and
sandals.

shaped cutting blade which will do the

DARK GOWNS IN FAVOR.

AS is always the case when light
oo,ors have been fashionable for some
Anne there is a revolution in favor of
Sork ones, so this year there will be
many dark costumes worn. But there
nre some charming browns and greens
and puppies and one shade of red in
tbe American Beauty rose color, and
al of these are thought very smart.
The black cloth or black velvet cos
+umes. however, or the very dark
brown will be the most popular Of
apy. and the same coloring is carried
opt IN the afternoon and evening
wraps. But in these days so many
Gowns are requisite, and also so many
wraps, that it would seem possible to

different colors in a winter OUTFIT

REMARKABLE MEMORIES
The Noteworthy Feats OF Postal Clerk
and Plano Player.


The newspapers are telling Of the re-
markable feat Of a postal clerk who,
in civil service examination, did not
make a single error in properly sorting
$4,000 test postal cards, each represent
ing a postofice in certain territory
assigned. This was done at the rate
Of thlrty-three and half cards q mln-
ute, Far more noteworthy is the mem.
DRY OF an expert piano player who will
plan an entire seasons concerts with
out note Of printed music before him,
says American Medicine. Ills memory
is so perfect that hundreds Of thous-
ands Of notes must be at the orderly
and instant disposal of the will. And
this is combined with multiplicity of
synchronous recollectlons OF tlmbre,
tempo, expression, etc. The mystery
is at present past the hunting Of any
explanation, and this fact is us beauti-
full as it is appalling. 1t shows us how
far we are from any real science OF
psychology. Physicians note the strange
thrusting Of disease among the mech
anlsms OF memory, the morbid effects
Of some neoplasm or injury to parts Of
the conyolutions Of the brain, whereby
some memories are lost temporarily or
permanently, in part or completely,
while others are unaffected. Even this
leaves us in amazement at the inscrut-
nble compleXity and methods Of the
cellular machine But through these
morbid injuries we catch tantalizIng
glimpses which some day, properly
studied and followed up, may bring
some psychological physician to an un.
ravellng Of the mystery.

A walnut stain for the hair is made

A good story on one Of the White
House dinners is told by Crump. who
was steward during the Hayes regime.
In January, 1880, Mr.. and Mrs. VIII

How many valuable inventions have

In other cases, men have puzzled their
brains With study for n lifetime and
brought forth nothing.
1t happened one night that a big
starch factory on the banks Of the
Liffey, near Dublin, took fire and great
puddles of starch and water were left
outside.
Some calico printers, who had been
out all night and were quite tipsy,
came along toward morning and one
Of them tumbled into one Of the
puddles. He found 1t so sticky that
all his clothes stuck to him so fast
that he had to stay in bed next morn
ing till his wife soaked them out.
The man knew, from his trade, that
the starch and water had formed a
very powerful and valuable gum. He
went back to the place Of the Ere and
Investigated, and the result was the
discovery OF the adhesive gum now
used in sticking postage stamps and
which has made many rich.-Boston

Yellow in all shades is a fad Of the
season for home dresses.
Some Of the modish sleeves are
queer beyond description,
Crewel lace and embroidery holds
its own on the dressy coat.
Towering ribbons Joined by fagot-

Princess gowns are pretty and state
" enough to remain in fashion for

More evening gowns than ever are
trimmed with sprays of artificial how-
ers this winter.
Many velvet coats and gowns have
the sleeves set In with caps Of stirring
as in softer fabrics,
Horizontal trimming for the sheer
frocks, and long lines for wool skirts
seems to be the rule.
Hoopskirts and like monstroslties

The velvet rage has given prom

The three tucks which finish so
many skirts may be varied by setting
bands of heavy lace or Oriental EN-

when win Coal Give out9

1t appears that there is coal in the
United Kingdom to a depth Of 4OOO
feet sufficient, at about the present
rate of output, to suffice for 81 years,
but that this period will be consider
ably extended. seeing that there is ev-
cry probability that mining can be
carried on to a depth Of 1000 feet
though at this depth there will not be
anything like the area Of coal that
there is at the former limit. And 1t
further seems probable to expect that
this period Of supply may be stu
further extended by the more eco
nomical use of fuel, due to the estab-
lshment Of central electrical supply
stations, and the utilization Of Mond
and other gas-producing processes, and
Of gas-drlven engines as well as other
means OF obtaining higher percentage
OF the heat value Of the fuel.--Epgl-
