Lady We're de We're.

Aubrey de We're, the poet, and his
family were for long years intimate
friends with Tennyson, who borrowed
the whole Of his famous Lady Clara's
name from them, for one of them was
actually We're de We're. Lady de We're,
it is said, did not quite like the associ-
alton of her name and Of a little some
thing like hers with the character of
the hard hearted and naughty Clara.
"Why should Lady de We're be ag-
grieved?" was Tennyson's reply. 81

Sadness of the Sen,

The two great causes of very grad
ual increase in the sadness of the sea
are the solvent powers Of water and
the process Of evaporation. BY their
solvent powers rain, rivers and springs
draw salts out of the land and carry
them to the sea. In evaporation the
sun, as an enormous pump, is ever
drawing up pure water, leaving all sol
ids behind. On the other hand, many
marine organisms, plants and animals
are continually extracting mineral mat
ter from the sea wherewith to build up
the solid parts of their bodily frames.
Whenever the point of saturation is
reached salt is deposited, as in the salt
pans of the Caspian, the Dead sea, Salt
lake. Utah, and numerous beds of rock
salt

TRAINING OF GIRLS.
Women Are Declining to View Mar

rtnge Us Their Sole Vocation.
DR.. G. Stanley Hall, a revolutionist
In matters OF education, believes that
some of the things in the school curric-
ulum should be eliminated. The train
ing Of girls should be governed, he
thinks, by their presumed destiny of
wifehood and motherhood. Referring
to the subject, the following is stated
in Good Housekeeping:
"Dr George Il. Howard in his matri-
monial institutions claims that it is
not marriage or maternity which edu-
Gated women are stunning, but they
are declining to view marriage as thei:
sole vocation. Let us not worry about
the destiny of college women. 1t is
simply wrong wedlock which they are
avoiding. They have, suggests Muir
head, careful regard for the kind Of
marriage. They are determined to
have only the genuine article They
look on marriage not only for the old
fashioned union Of hearts, but for the
union Of heart and head in some serl-
GUS interest which will survive the
mere attractions of sex and form a
solid bond of union even in the alb
sence Of others which, like the birth Of
children, depend on fortune. So far
from being hostile to the family, they
are only preparing the way for a purer
and more benefcent form Of family
life
'.rhat college women are not weaker
physically than others, that they are
not less prolific as mothers, is the posi-
tive assertion Of Miss Thomas, the
president Of Bryn Mawr college, a wo-
man Of broad outlook, who has given
the subject thorough investigation. To
college bred mothers Miss Thomas
traces intellectual and social progress
Of great value to society and the ma
ton. Their influence upon their sons
will be past reckoning"

MOOSE SCENTS DANGER.

Remarkable lntuitions Among WiIl
Animals When Peril Is Near.
Metropolitan Magazine: For some min
utes he had been thus pleasantly occu-
| pied, when suddenly an obscure appre-
hension stirred in his brain. He stopped
feeding, lifted his head. and stood mo-
tionless. Only his big ears moved, turn
ing their wary interrogations toward ev-
cry point of the compass. and his big
nostrils suspiciously testing every current
of air. Neither nose nor ear, the most
aleart Of his senttnels, gave any report or
danger. He looked about, saw nothing
unusual. and fell again to feeding.
Among the wild kindreds, as far as man
can Judge, there are occasional intuitions
that seem to work beyond the scope OF
tho senses. 1t Is not ordinarily so, else
would all hunting, on the part OF man
or Of the hunting beasts. be idle. But
once IN a while. as If by some unwilling
telcpathic communication from hunter to
hunted, or else by an obscure and only
half delivered message from the powers
that preside over the wild kindTeds, a
warning OF peril Is conveyed to q pastur-
ing creature while yet the peril Is far off
and unreVealed. The great moose found
his appetite all gone. He backed off the
sapling and let its top spring up again
toward the empty blue. He looked back

a shambling, rapid trot: and presently he
disappeared among the somber and shad-
owy C~olonuades.

where I knew a tall tree grew close to

w party rebelled at the imperious
dictatorship Of the speaker.
The speakers imperious domination
over the popular body of congress was
generally declared to be contrary to a
republican form of government-de-
cidedly Russian in character.
AS this dispatch was clearly the news
feature Of the night, l myself, as nan
aging editor, undertook the continual
ton of the big head. AS "a top line 1
wrote
REED, THE RUSSIAN.
The compositor did not follow the
marks Indicating the size of display
type, but used a large font. Conse-
quently, the words overran the column,
and the proof came back thus:
REED, THE RUSS.
A new catch line had to be invented
Immediately, because the page was
"made-up' and waiting. After several
attempts a happy thought suggested q
single word that has become a part Of
American political history. 1 directed
the foreman to set in the largest pos
sible type and place over the article
the words

The title was an instantaneous hit. 1t
was caught up throughout the country

papers, at first.
Speaker Reed was delighted; just as
he was pleased. in later days, by
Homer D~avenport's cartoons.
