Words That Are Obsolete

The number 4of obsolete words that
are to be found in Webster's Diction-

have any idea of. The following let

editor who had treated his poetry with
derision, furnishes some idea of them:

Alexandra.
Several old fashions have been re-
vived at court, some of which had fall
en- into disuse since 1862, when the
late queen retired from social life.
says the OnlOoker.
One of these is that the mistress OF
the robes should accompany the queen
to her bedroom door at the conclusion
of state ball. This practice was re-
vived on the occasion of the state ball
which took place during the visit of
the king of Spain. 1t happened that
the Spanish monarch's sleeping apart
ment was in the same corridor as
that of Queen Alexandra.
The queen arrived at the door OF
her room, attended by the Duchess of
Portland, and the young king, who
had come up stairs at the same time,
wished her majesty good night. Then
he suddenly said, Il am an athlete;
would you like to see me perform?"
She said "yes,' upon which the
youthful sovereign turned succession
of somersaults, all down the corridor.

Precise Moment Of Death

In the first place, there is no definite
moment of death. We all are gradu-
ally dying for years, says the World
of To-Day. The moment which is or
dinarily ascribed to death is when the
breathing stops, but this is purely ar
bitrary and the survival of an old be-
lief that life was drawn in in the
breath and the soul passed out with
the breath. The heart may continue
to beat many minutes, and in ami
mails under experimental conditions
even for hours after respiration has
stopped, the muscles are still irrita-
BILE, the nerves are still able to carry
nerve impulses. But, while the ces-
:ation of respiration cannot be called

ganGin the man-conquest Of the atmos-
phere, says the Grand Magazine. The
aeronaut had succeeded in solving the
problem he had set himself and
thenceforward had merely to perfect
the details. Assuming, as we are
entitled to do, that M. Santos -Dumont's
new ship proves success, and that,
in addition to carrying crew of eight
or. ten, It will have lifting power for
a small cargo, see what powerful
and novel weapon of offensive warfare
is at the disposal of the nations.
In the next continental war it is un-
conceivable that the effectiveness of
such a mode of attack will not be
utilized. After the lessons of the re.
cent siege of Port Arthur any one can
realize the immense service a practi.
cable war airship of sufficient size
would have been to the operations

have lain in this state for six or more
minutes. If the dogs chest is opened
and artificial respiration begun, and
if the heart is taken in the hand and
rhythmically squeezed, gradually it be-
gins to beat again, the dog begins to
breathe-in fact, he recovers normal
life. I believe the same experiment
has not been tried in men, for the rea-
son that in illness the system is gen.
orally so poisoned by the toxins of
disease as to make it impossible
spontaneously to recover, even though
the heart should be kept beating. The
heart of a man may in some cases be
made to beat again outside the body
if defibrinated blood is circulated
through it.
We cannot, therefore, answer the
question. When does a man die? If
we mean by a man his body, this dies
piecemeal, one organ after another;
if we mean the mans personality, this
evidently disappears when he loses
consciousness; and from this point of
view he may be said to- die when he
falls in deep slumber, certainly when
he is anesthetized.

probably be found the most effective
against such vessels, but there must
always be the difficulty of getting the
proper elevation for the guns, and
they could not be fired vertically

on their return doing more harm to
the side that fired than they inflicted

gown has the skirt plated and stitched
down for distance about the waist.
There is added to this deep shaped
founce, plated and stitched down for
several inches, fashion that gives it
a beautiful fare at the bottom. This
is headed by band of Irish lace four
or five inches deep, edged with velvet
ribbon and with straps of the ribbon
crossing it at intervals. On the bodice
is little bolero with coat tails There
are dropping lapels faced with velvet

Dresden Hues Are With Us.

The summer colors, Judging by a

speaking, they are the Dresden colors.
White gowns with pink vests, white
hats trimmed with pink roses, beauti-

7mbroideries upon them and whole
pink suits are seen in preference to all
others, with touch Of Alice blue to
make them complete.
The Dresden colors, which included
lovely shade of grass green and
some beautiful blues of the forget-me-
not shade, are displayed to their very
best advantage in the thin summer
goods. There are pink lawns and pink
muslins which leave nothing at all to
be desired in the way of good taste.
They are neat, pretty in tone, being
not too dark, and they are soft and
easily draped. There is one pink in
particular, a shade Of japonica pink,
which is admirable. 1t is becoming to
