"i'he Possibilities of Stenography"
is the title of an inspiring article for
girls in the New IDEA WoMAN's
MAGAZINE for December The writer
speaks of this work as being 'spiend-
idly elastic" holding out a poospect
to young girls, and to girls not so
young, ofmounting step by step from
junior petitions to secretaryships,
managerships, edltorship' and the
higher professions. She tells OF the
young women whose stenography
has taken them travelling to the four
quarters of the globe or "riding
through college on typewriter. "a
knowledge Of stenography." she says,
in closing, ''stands to girl somewhat

A Gallant 0utxOte.

NOrtherners have got 30 accustomed
to the curt demands Of street railway
employees to "Step lively" and Move
up 'front.' that the phrases have lost
much Of their harshness. Crowded
traffic requires that men and women
should step lively for their own good
in order that the cars may make
schedule time.
In the south. where the stress Of life
L. not 30 rude and the fine natural
courtesy Of the southerner has leisure
to flourish, the manners of an employee
of northern street railway would not
be tolerated; hence a refreshing little
scene recorded In the Outlook.
An inexperienced middle aged south
in northern city. The conductor. not
dreaming Of harm, had just propelled
a fair looking woman into the crowded
interior with the customary push and
the words, ''Step lively"
The southerner took the center Of
the situation by saying to him in an
intense voice:
"You dare lay your hands upon an
other lady and I'll knock you OF the

The faces Of the downtrodden race
Of passengers lighted up. The con-
ductor stared then realized the situa-
ton. As long as the southerner rode
on the platform the amenities Of life
were observed.

finished there were tears In her eyes

Parkinson was tremendously i'm

HEAT AND TANNED SKINS.
The Miracle That Nature PERFORM
When Sunburn Occurs.

The Miracle That Nature Performs
When Sunburn Occurs.
There are certain arctic animals,
dark coated in the short summer, that
IN winter turn pure white, thus match
ing the snow covered landscape and
escaping notice and harm.
This change Of color, this protection,
effected no one knows how, is wonder
full, as wonderful as miracle, and
yet q kindred change of color, kim
dred protection, happens among man
kind every summer, and nobody ever
notices it.
When the pale city people go out in
the summer sun at the seashore or the
mountains the light attacks them
fiercely, first reddenlng their skin,
then swelling, blistering and scorching
1t. If they kept in the sun enough,
and If no miracle occurred, the light
would kill them finally, burning off
the skin first and afterward attacking
the raw flesh.
But a miracle does occur. The skin
changes from pale color to a tan and
on this tan the sun has no effect The
sun may beat on tan colored skin for
days and weeks, but such skin remains
always sound, unblistered, whole.
Thus nature works a miracle. The
white skin is suffering, and nature,
aware. somehow, that tan skin is
sun proof, changes to tan the white.
How does she do this? Where did she
learn that it was wise to do this? No
one knows. Only the fact of the
miracle remains.
To prove this miracie-to prove that
1t Is not the hardening of the skin.
but the change in its color which pro-
tects 1t from sunburn-is an easy mat
ter.
Let u pale person, unused to the sun,
stain one side of his face. yellow, and,
leaving the other side untouched, go
out In the bright summer sun for a
couple of hours. The one side of his
face is no tougher, no more hardened
than the other, yet the unstained side
will be in1amed, bllstered, while the
tan colored one will be quite cool and
unhurt.
Sunburn is a miracle, a protection
to mankind as ineXplicable and as
wonderful as the miracle of the arctic
animals change in the winter from
dark coats to snow white ones.-New
York Herald.

Moreover, he had Just climbed six
long flights Of stairs. He looked rather
Sred and wilted.
"Look here. Tom." he said abruptly.

Marshall laughed unpleasantly.

There was something like pain In his

soon as possible. Was she angry be-
cause he had found Tom Marshall aud

wish to thank him for his efforts In
that line? He had not seen her since
that afternoon at the links. The thought
OF seeing her now cut him sharply.
The end, 80 far as he was concerned,
had come that day beneath the walnut
trees by tho farther bunker when he
had seen the tears In her eyes, the
tears that had not been for him, but
for Tom MarshaN
He waited for her In the big dim hall.
She came down the wide stairs dressed
in white, her eyes shining. There was
q radiant happiness In her face that
hurt him strangely.
"Oh. how can I ever thank you for
what you have doner she cried.
'It really wasn't anything" Parkin-

Wasn't it anything to fnd Tom Mar

'He did," she declared, "and I told

An Unnecessary Distinction.
The two expressions "by and by" and
"by the bye" are really derived from
the same original word, and the words
"by" and bye" have the same general
sense. But the spelling bye has long
been used in the second of these
phrases without any real reason for
the change. We should not speak of
a bye law or bye path, and yet many
are careful to write "by the bye" and
"by the by" In goodbye there might
be some reason for keeping the final
"e," since 1t stands for the word ''ye'
in the shortened form of "God be with
ye;" but where so much has been
dropped the ''e'' is hardly worth keep
ing, especially as the old meaning Is
seldom recalled.-St. Nicholas.
