An amusing story is told concerning
Professor Duncan of st. Andrews uni
versity, who was in his younger days
a teacher in Dundee. The embryo
professor proposed to lady, who curt
ly refused him. Shortly afterward Mr..
Duncan became Professor Duncan, and
the lady heard no more of him, not
even by letter.
Some time after she went to st. An
drew's to try the effect of sea bath
ing. She saw Duncan often, and he
talked to her on every subject except
the subject she was now apparently
interested in.
At last she courageously screwed up
her courage and, coming to the point,
said:
Mr.. Duncan, there was subject
you once mentioned to me some TIM
ago, and really am rather SURPRISE.
that you have never required to it. for
have changed my mind since that
time"
The professor simply remarked:
Eyes, but !, too, have changed my
mind. London Tit-Bits.

Brazil was the original America.
Down to the first quarter of the six

still mapped as an extension of India,
Tibet, China and Japan, with Brazil as
an island, separated by the islands dis
covered by Columbus from the new
world of Greater India and named
America provincial and again America

Not before the middle of the six

extended to North America, with the
addition vel Nova India In brief,
the Americas were both mere wind

'spiced' India. This is the redoubled

THREE RECIPES.
The Way to Either Can, jam or Pr

The Way to Either Can, jam or Pre-
serve Husband.
For this purpose select a nice, kind,
amiable, Industrious, generous man.
The American variety is far better
than the foreign kind. Prepare him
by having him go through long en-
gagement, which effectually renders
him easy to handle Gently detach him
from all of his old friends and ac-
quaintances and remove any habits he
may have. He is then ready to can,
preserve or make jam, as you choose.
To can, merely deprive him of his
latchkey and throw a handful of moth
er-in-law in the house Men corked up
like this have been known to keep for
years without spelling, though when
they are opened up, if kept too long,
they are apt to be sour To make jam,
prepare as before, but shred all of his
finer feelings by nagging and pound
them into a pulp by complaints. To
preserve husband, put as much love
into the heart as it will hold, add an
ocean of sympathy, a world of tender
ness, a pound of forbearance, dram
of patience and drop him into 1t until
he is thoroughly coated over with sug-
ar. Husbands should always be crys-
tallized one at a time, never in pairs;
neither should they ever be stood in

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

1t is well to take time in thinking be-
fore making accusations.
A woman who can use her eyes with
effect is a dangerous rival.
Women take fright easily over low
er's compliments to another of the fair
sex
There is species of treason in carry
ing water on both shoulders in a love
affair.
In every man there is disposition to
do the grand where women are con.
cerned.
1t hurts a woman's pride to have an
other woman share with her a mans
attention
When one man sneers at another it is
fair to presume Jealousy is at the bot
tom of it.
When man regards himself as ir-
resistible it is time to do some quiet
thinking and self abnegation.-Ph iladel-
phia Bulletin.

DON'T RECOGNIZE DEFEAT.

Prove Your Manhood by Battling ON
Bravely After Reverses.
After $4,000 of Napoleons soldiers
had been overwhelmed by the advance
of $4,000 Austrian troops he addressed
them thus: II am displeased with you
You have evinced neither discipline nor
valor You have allowed yourselves to
be driven from positions where hand
full Of resolute men might have arrest
ed an army. You are no longer French
soldiers. Chief of staff, cause it to be
written on their standards, They are
no longer of the army of Italy,"
In tears the battered veterans re-
piled: I'VE have been misrepresented
The soldiers of the enemy were three
to one Try us once more Place us
in the post of danger and see If we do
not belong to the army of Italy" In
the next battle they were placed in the
van, and they made good their pledge
by rolling back the great Austrian ar
my.
He is a pretty poor sort of man who
loses courage and fears to face the
world just because he has made mis-
take or slip somewhere, because his
business has failed, because his prop
erty has been swept away by some gen
eral disaster or because of other trou-
BILE impossible for him to avert.
This Is the test of your manhood,
How much is there left in you after
you have lost everything outside of
yourself? If you lie down now, throw
up your hands and acknowledge your
self worsted there is not much in you.
But If with heart undaunted and face
turned forward you refuse to give up
or to lose faith in yourself, If you scorn
to beat a retreat, you will show that
the man left in you is bigger than your
loss, greater than your cross and larger
than any defeat
81 know no such unquestionable
badge and ensign Of sovereign mind -
said Emerson, "as that tenacity of pur-
pose which. through all changes of
companions or parties or fortunes,
changes never, bates no jot of heart or
hope, but wearies out opposition and
arrives at its port"
1t is men like Ulysses S. Grant, who,
whether in the conflict of opposing ar
mics on the battlefield or In the wear
and tear of civic strife, fighting against
reverses, battling for competence for
his loved ones even while the hand of
death lay chill upon him, "bates no jot
of heart or hope" that wiring victory
from the most forbidding circum-
stances. 1t is men like Napoleon, who
refuse to recognize defeat, who declare
that impossible" is not in their vocab-
ularies, that accomplish things.-Suc-

Correegto and His Lac.

Little is known of Correggio, which
would argue that he was Of a retiring
disposition. He was born in the little
town of Corregglo, twenty four miles
from Parma. In the latter city he was
educated, but in his seventeenth year
an outbreak of the plague drove his
family to Mantua. By 1914 he was
back in Parma. For some years be
worked here and painted many famous
pictures. 1t may have been because OF
grief over the death Of his young wife
but at the age Of thirty-six, indiffer-
ent to fame and fortune, he retired tc
the little town where he was born. All
that is known regarding his death is
the date, March 8, 1534.-Charles H

Claxton concluded, tossing it to one
side contemptuously. That had come
back In the days when rejected manu-
scripts had not been half so rare as
good dinners or money with which to
pay rent Something approaching Gu
riosity made him pick up the envelope
again and draw the contents from its
mouth. The story that lay before him
was headed, From Frank Claxton, 211

at Miss Carriers. The tale was one
that she had sent over his signature to
an editor OF whose opinion she had felt
certain, and it had in consequence been
returned to him when that gentleman
had classed it as unavailable" Il

had confessed, "and l knew you'd

sured him.
For twenty minutes Claxton sat 81
lently on his chair island in the middle
of a sea of letters. His fingers chung

looked beyond it into the past All the
half forgotten history of his love for

him with wonderful vividness-her I'M

The panama is leaf hat made in
Colombia, Ecuador and Peru from the
undeveloped leaf of the "bombonaje,"
which is screw pine rather than a
palm. The trunk of the plant is only
a yard in height, but the leaf stalks are
two yards long.
The leaf before it has opened is pre-
pared for the manufacture of hats. 1t
then consists of bundle of plaits
about two feet long and an inch in di-
ameter called a ''cogollo." The green
outside is stripped off, and by means
of forked instrument it is cut into
narrow strips of uniform size
The cogollo is next boiled to tougher
the fiber and hung in the sun to dry
and bleach. when the strips shrivel into
cordlike strands ready for use. 1t takes
sixteen cogollos for an ordinary hat
and twenty-four for the finesA and a
single hat is plated in from four days
to as many months, according to its
texture and quality. Mexican Herald
