ELSIE'S
GRAY HAT
By Maravene Kennedy

!: :@3@@@@ #@@@@@; {;

The gray hats aren't very pretty
shade this year." said the saleslady.
Brown would look well with your
hair. Here's beauty"
I'm take this gray one." said Elsie,
unheeding.
In her own room she put the hat on
and studied herself intently in the mir
ror. Brown would have been more be-
coming, she decided. She was too pale
for gray now.
1t had been six years since she had
made that promise. 1t was just as she
bade him goodby. You look like pink
rose in that gray hat, darling" he had
said. 81 shall expect to see your dear
face under just such a hat when /
come home" So for six years, summer
and winter, she had worn a gray hat
six years in which she had heard from
him but twice and that shortly after
he left
But she believed In him, loved, ex-
cused him. Aweary sometimes, but
never despairing, she remained stead
fast. He had gone to Africa; that was
so far away and offered 50 many fine
excuses. She feared always for his
safety, but never his constancy.
1t was pretty face the mirror held,
a sweet, womanly face, with a happy
girlish smile. She turned away with a
little sigh and went lightly down the
steps into the street. 1t was holiday,
and school teaching was serious work
with conscientious Elsie Wentworth.
She was glad Of the rest, the day out
doors, the sunshine and pure air.
Where are you going, ElsieT
1t was a mans voice and a mans
eyes that gazed into hers. both telling
their love for the slender creature In
the gray hat.
A rich glow came to her pale cheeks.
So stalwart and determined, she felt
afraid of him, afraid he would make
her love him, make her faithless to
poor, absent Dave.
"I'm going to see Mrs. Young" she
faltered.
He laughed ITS too bad, dear. Go
on to the woods, Elsie. 1 won't insist

The Meaning of "Mew..r

Pennant, the naturalist and antigua
", in his Account Of London" Q79O
bays that "on the north side of Charing
Cross stood the royal news, where the
kings falcons had been kept since the
time of Richard Ill"
"Mews" Is thought to be derived
from the French muer, Latin mutare,
to change or mott, and to have been
used of cage for molting birds, as
muette is used In France for place In
which ho.ns shed by stays in the for
est are kept by officials Of the chase.
AS time went on horses were kept In
the Enclosures used at first for hawks,
and the old name was retained.
In this connection we may quote
DrydeI's line,
Nine times the moon hath mew'd her
horns.
and Milton, who speaks Of the eagle
as "mewing its mighty YOUTH. e.,
fresher from its molting. and Shake
bpeare, who adopts the secondary
meaning, More pity that the eagle
should be mew'd."

After 1900 of NapoleGa's soldiers

Of 10000 Austrian troops he addressed

You have evinced neither discipline nor
valor. You have allowed yourselves to
be driven from positions where hand

piled; I'VE have been misrepresented.
TIE soldiers of the enemy were three
to one. Try us once more. Place us
In the post OF danger and see II 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 a slip somewhere. because his
business has failed, because his prop
erty has been swept away by some gen.
erai 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 Ito down now. throw
up your hands and acknowledge your
self worsted there Is not much In you.
But II with heart undaunted and face
turned forward you refuse to give up
or to lose faith In yourself, If you scorn

said Emerson, "as that tenacity or pur-
pose which. through all changes Of

1t is men like Ulysses s. Grant, who,
whether In the conflict Of opposing ar

1t was an American who, meeting an
Englishman in n country hotel in the
States. opened conversation sympathet-
ically with the words: "Cheer up, 1t
may not be true, and if it is true it
may be all for the best" And he was
surprised to find that the Briton's look
of acute gloom was normal and not the
result of any more than ordinarily bad
news. The prevailing notion Of the
American with regard to the English
man is that he looks las if his only
friend on earth was a yellow dog, and
he had lost the dog" For years the
inhabitants of the States have been
scrutinizing. the faces of British Wis
itors to try to ascertain whether their
resigned expression Is due to recent
bereavement. confirmed misanthropy or
simply to superciliousness. According
to u weekly paper, some Americans at
tribute the English face to the English
climate. "They did not look actually
sad" said an American lady to the
writer, ''or happy or preoccupied, but
they one and all had an expression of
resignation-the only state of mind pos
sible with an English climate" This
is an ingenious explanation. Centuries
of rain and years of fog may have had
their effect on our looks. There is. in
deed, a certain dignity in the idea

It is well to take time In thinking be-

There is a species Of treason Tn carry

One of TynGniI's Heroic Experime nj u

In 1864 1yndall performed the ex-
pertinent of separating light from heat.
In the course OF the Investigations
which enabled him to do this he made
one of the most daring experiments
that ever Il scientific man ventured on.
Knowing q layer of iodine placed be-
fore the eye intercepted the light, lie
determined to place his own eye in the
focus of strong invisible rays, He
knew that If in doing so the dark rays
were absorbed in a high degree by the
humors of the eyes the albumen of
the humors might coagulate, and, on
the other hand, if there was no high
absorption the rays might strike upon
the retina with force sufficient to de-
stroy it, When he first brought his
eye undefended near the dark focus the
heat on the parts surrounding the pupil
was too intense to be endured. He
therefore made an aperture in the plate
of the metal and, placing his eye be-
hind this aperture, lie gradually APP
preached the point of conveyance of
the invisible rays. First the pupil and
next the retina were placed in the focus
without any sensible damage. Imme-
diately afterward a sheet of platinum
foil placed in the position which the
retina had occupied became red hot

Cronje's Surrender.

The capitulation OF CronJe ana his
1000 men on the anniversary Of Maui
ba day, 1900, will be remembered a.
long as any incident Of the Boer war.
An onslaught made by the Canadians,
who had intrenched themselves eighty
yards from the Boer position in the
river bed at Paardeburg, was greeted
not by a storm Of musketry, as had
been expected, but by the appearances
of three white flags hastily thrust
above the parapet Of the Boer trench
es. Then a horseman appeared, carry
ing another white flag and intent on
arranging a meeting between the gen.
erals. Forth from the laager came
presently two men, one mounted on
white pony, in his hand a sjambok.
wearing a brown felt hat and huge
overcoat, nothing Of his face visible
but thicket of hair and two glowing
sparks for eyes. This was Cronje. whe
had kept the British army at bay for
ten days with no better shelter than
could be afforded him by deep river
bed. II am glad to meet 80 brave a
man." said Lord Roberts, but he re-
fused to accept anything short OF un-
conditional surrender. CronJe's reply to
the terms Of the capitulation was
short, but effective. "Ja," he blurtsd
out.-London Globe.
