pr. Eliot Absentmlnded.

From the Woman's Home Companion.
 Once when there was a vacancy in the Massachusetts bishopric Dr. Phillips Brooks was the most likely candidate. The dean of the Theological School in Cambridge, Dr. Lawrence, during the course of a walk with Dr. Eliot of Har- yard began discussion of the situation.
 Don't you think Brooks will be elect ed?" asked he.
 Well mo-" said pr. Eliot "a second or third rate man would do just as well. We need Brooks right here in Boston"
 Phillips Brooks was elected, and short time thereafter Dr. Eliot and Dr. Law renee were again talking Of the matter.
 Aren't you glad Brooks was electedY' said the dean.
 'Yes, I suppose so," replied the absent minded Eliot, If he wanted 1t; but to tell the truth, Lawrence, you were my man.

INCIDENTAL REMARKS:

In announcing the formal opening of the Birming ham home of this the Worlds Largest Piano Man ufacturers, wish to say just few words regard ing its beauty and elegance. To condense long story we will say that the whole idea is a radical departure from any other piano home in the south and is by far the most elaborately appointed and beautifully decorated-the decorations alone worth coming miles to Every parlor is of different color scheme and decorative design. When you recall that the decorators have consumed two whole months and half in preparing this new home for us, you can form idea of what to expect to see upon visiting. It is impossible to adequately describe it here-besides, want you to see for yourself Come

Enrlish Kid BIouses.

Kid blouses are being worn in the
north for fishing, motoring, Goifing and
excursions in rough weather. They
are to be seen in brown. dark red
and navy blue. and are lined with a
thin material. They are somewhat
costly, SO are not by any means co;n-
mon, but they are excellent wear and
impervious to any amount Of rain,
says the Queen. A tole~ably fine
leather is used, so they are not too
heavy or clumsy in appearance. On
the contrary, they are very smart, and,
being well made, timely tucked and
perfectly cut, are much in request by
those who can afford them. They are
worn with any rough material skirt,
but they look best with black or skirts
of the same color. The wide crowned
motor caps are worn with THEM. The
caps are equally popular with peaks
In front or the fat brims all round, and
are becoming to nearly all faces. The
curve that they take on the head by
being ''speared' by several long, fancy
headed pins is very graceful, New

These women shave and cut hair
as skillfully as their husbands, fathers
and brothers Most customers steer
clear Of them, however, for they have
way Of leaving men whom they dc
not like half shaved, and then driving
them through the streets of the village
with jeers and mockery. 1t is a ter,
rible disgrace in India to be seen only
half shaved. The poor vi.lager covers
his face with his turban and goes home
filled with sorrow and shame.

An days long on the highway
Tho king, fleet courier ride,
'Xou may hear the tread Of their horses
sped
Over the country side
They ride for life and they ride for death
And they override who tarryeth
With show Of color and flush Of pride
They stir the dust on the highway.
Let them ride on the highway wide,
Love walks in little paths aside.
All days long on the highway
Is the tramp Of an army's feet;
You may see them 60 in marshaled row
With the tale Of their arms complete;
They march for war and they march for
peace,
For the lust Of gold and fame's increase,
For victories sadder than defeat
They raise the dust on the highway
All the armies Of earth defed,
Love dwells ID little paths aside.
All days long on the highway
kushee an eager band,
With straining eyes for worthless prize
That slips from the grasp like sand.
And men leave blood where their feet
have stood
And bow them down Into brass and
Idols fashioned by their own hand
Blind in the dust Of the highway.
Power and gold and fame denied,
Rove laughs glad in the paths aside.
