John Hopkins Students Gave Him
Credit For Bible Quotations

John Hopkins Students Gave Him
Credit For Bible Quotations.
President Remsen of Johns Hopkins
university has made the discovery that
few students in that institution are IA
miliar with the Bible, says a special
dispatch from Baltimore. In recent
address before the Womans club OF
Roland Park in Baltimore he spoke of
the woeful lack of good English in
schools. Que great cause for this ig-
norance he believed to be the general
neglect of Bible reading in homes and
colleges, and he regarded such neglect
as a grave menace to the development
of true literary style.
To find out how much or how little
the Johns Hopkins students might
know concerning Biblical subjects the
faculty decided on an impromptu ex.
animation of eighty students. They
did not know that they were being ex-
amined at all or for what purpose, but,
since their papers were not to be held
up against them in the way of exam
nation Judgment, the faculty felt ex-
cused for making the experiment.
An editorial from a newspaper was
chosen containing two Biblical refer.
ences, one to the Ethiopian changing
his skin and the other to the shadow
moving backward on the dial. The ed
itorlal was read to the class, and Its
members were asked to tell where
these quotations were from and to say
whether their use in the editorial con.
formed TO their meaning or their asso.
citation In which they were originally
used. In telling OF the papers DIR. Rem.
sen said:
Il read every one of those eighty
papers, and the writers had eyicepfly
struggled with those questions IN .

BROWN EYES IN ECLIPSE.
Chicago Artist Declares That Prevail
ing Color in Dress Goods Makes
Unhappy Contrast.

There is many pitfall for the COM
plexion in the fashionable brown" says
a Chicago artist, according to the Tri-
bune. "As a rule, 1t intensifies the coloi
Of the eyes to match them or wear a
deeper shade Of the same color. Espe-
cially is this true of blue, but In brown
it does not always have a happy effect.
For instance, the brown eyes that are
accompanied by hair that Is two or
three shades darker, or almost black,
are not improved by any Of the fashion
able reddish or golden browns.
Instead, these shades clash with a
tinge of purple that is always lurking
around the eyes and hair in this COM
bination, and the result is a spotted eff
feet. The only brown possible to this
complexion is dark seal that renders
it opaque. The woman with hair of
a little brighter shade, however, has
usually a tinge Of red in her cheeks,
which is brought out by brown of
warm reddish shade.
"The Titan haired woman with eyes
a shade or two darker may also wear
the shades that match either eyes or
hair, because her color scheme is pure
Even an occasional freckle on her face
shows that the pigment is all upon the

THE SAVAGE WAS LOGICAL
Thought he Might as Well Continue
Idle as to Work for "Well-
Earned Rest"

Lord Lyveden and his party of Eng.
fish tourists were recently entertained
in New York. Lord Lyveden, who has
Travelled all over the world, narrated al
a dinner some OF his adventures. At one
point, relates the Tribune, he said:
Il used to know in Australia an intel
ligent and interesting missionary. He
and were talking one day about the IA
tives Of New Guinea, and he told me
how one Of these natives had stumped
him in a certain argument
ut seemed that he had accosted the
native, and urged him to let himself be
civilized.
But what good the native asked.
will this civilization of yours do me?'
We'll, said the missionary, you will
cease, for one thing, to idle all your
time away. You will learn the delights
of honest labor
What good will the labor do me?
" Through it you will gradually &C.
cumulate money, and in time, with fru-
gality, you will possess much store of
honestly acquired riches
"The native was still unconyinced.
What good will the riches do me?' was
his next question.
They, said the missionary, will
enable you to cease from work at last,
and to spend the rest of your days In
well-earned rest

I did as you say, would be taking a

In speaking of remarkable shrubs we

died not long ago, but 1t is pleasing to
know that it now has hundreds of de-
scendants scattered over the country.
Unless this specimen was a hybrid it
must have been the last OF its race, and
in either case It was discovered only
Just in time TO prevent its total extinc-
ton. The foliage OF the plant is bright
shining green, turning crimson in the
fall, and the large blossoms are pure
white and very fragrant The fact that

SHORT SKIRT OF 1904.
Graceful and Pretty Garment That
Will Meet with Gen
eral Favor.

The short skirted girl of year or two
ago is not in it at all with the short skirt
ed girl of the present season. The swing
clear skirt no more resembles the short
skirt of few years ago than the dress OF
to-day resembles the dress of the tailor
made period One was all severity. The
other is all grace. One made woman
angular andawkward and masculine. The
other adds a feminine touch to even the
homeliest figure. 1t takes away angles
and makes a woman graceful, says the
Brooklyn Eagle.
The skirts Of this season, those that
are made on the new art lines, all swing
clear. If they touch they are OF the
round length-that is, the length which
Just touches the floor all the way round,
the length that is so delightful for piazza
and house wear
Dressmakers are classifying the new
skirts, but their classifications are so
numerous and so varied as to puzzle the
layman. There is what is called the So
ciety skirt, which is the skirt which 4
little more than touches. 1t is cut round
and is shirred in hip yoke about six
inches deep Again it is shirred just be-
low the hips and here the band Of shir-
ring is at least eight inches deep This
skirt is very full and is planned to set
out smartly below shirred portions. The
length is fully to the floor, but the skirt
swings clear as one walks.
One Of the newest skirts is built en-
tirely in round length. That is to say, II
Is cut the same all the way round, and is
worn over a very full petticoat to make 1t
set out. 1t is laid in tiny box plaits
around the belt, the plaits nearly six
inches apart And there is no other trim
ming or decoration upon the skirt. II
touches all the way around and must be
lifted with both hands. This is skirt
that is chosen for reception wear.
And there is another round skirt, and
this is the easiest one for an amateur
to attempt. 1t is cut in eight breadths.
They are the same all the way up to the
waist and are laid without cores. They
are simply sewed together and put upon
a very slender band at the belt line. The
skirt may be shirred or tucked as deep
as the hips But below that it hangs full
and plain until II. is decorated around
the foet with ruffles. There are three OF
them and they are three fingers deep At
the head Of each rufile there Is a rops
shirring.
The best materials for these very full
skirts are Of poplins and the sheerest
of mulls and are the grenadines and
voiles and the soft-lawns.

ABOUT PARATYPHOID FEVER
New Type Which May Have Been Mis-

of the Old.

This is a new disease, or, rather, a
newly discovered disease, which has

served to clear up many puzzling
points in relation to typhoid fever, says
Youths Companion. Originally ty-
plus and typhoid fever were thought
to be identical, but early in the last
century close observers detected GER
tain differences in the symptoms which
served to mark two groups Of cases,
and soon they found that they really
had to do with two distinct diseases
typhus and typhoid fevers. Now, near
ly 100 years later, they find that there
are two typhus fSvers, but the dis

She opened her trunk and took from

hands were the last to touch it, and
when she put it away in the casket to
