the average woman This opinion,
being a mere matter of taste, he Is
entitled TO hold as long as he likes,
but even he might admit that the
average woman is more formed than
man. This forming and conforming
Of the average woman is a fearful
and wonderful thing. The ladies are
not content to vary their outward
conf1guration but actually change
their shapes from time to time.
The straight front has so twisted
our wives and daughters that much
adipose tissue is now found in places
where it hadn't ought to be, and, to
add horror to horror, the delights of
our eyes are adopting the new sway
back or S-fgure, that will constrain
them to execute cabe-walks on the
public thoroughfares
Mere man is unable to understand
how all this can be. Are our women
merely boneless jellyfish capable OF
receiving any form the pressure Of
fashion may impose? Or are they
so spirituelle that their bodies change
with their wills? Really, now. don't
you know, we can't say. But this we
may venture: It is a distinct shock
to the average slow, masculine eye
to see smart girl with military
shoulders in the morning, and then
to gaze at evening upon the same
shoulders adapting themselves to the
droop Of the Venus of Melos.

It is said that the breaking of the en-

Mrs. Jordan and her family. However,
after the stories were all published. Mrs.
Jordan came to Washington last winter
and not only attended a White House

The Carnegie Foundation.

The faults of Andrew Carnegie will
be forgotten long before his benefac-
tons to humanity begin to bear full
fruit The man seems utterly inca
pable of doing his charities by the
drop: neither is he of the kind who
water stony places with wealth which
the wind and the sun may dissipate;
but he seeks with diligence for the
waste places Of life that are rich In
all the elements that make for
growth, save money, and when he
finds them he rests neither night nor
day until he has erected an irrigating
reservoir and instructed his followers
how to build the canals
Wisdom is justified of her children,
and then is private wealth made
worthy when its custodian distributes
it with reverent care to the places
where it is most needed. To the
wisdom Of Andrew Carnegie we doff
cur hats; in the presence Of his ehari-
ties we remove our sandals, for the
place is holy ground.
To Andrew Carnegie the world owes
thanks for. libraries distributed as
widely As the English language, each
one of which is not only a storehouse
OF literature but an architectural in
spiration; to him we owe the Car
negie Institution which encourages
original Investigations for the benefit,
comfort, and uplifting of the race; to
him We now owe provision for the
declining years of our instructors.
Yesterday the announcement was
made that he had created a trust fund
Of $4,000. 600 to provide annuities for
college professors in the United
States, Canada, and Newfoundland
who. from old age or other physical
disability, are no longer able to
render efficient service. To quote Mr.
Carnegie's own words, ''the fund ap-
plies TO the three classes of institu-
tions named, without regard to race,
sex, creed or color"
OF course, there will be critics who
will decry this beneficence, as there
were those who found fault with the
Carnegie plan OF libraries Certainly
it is easy to say, why were these
bonds not sold and the money given
TO the poor? But would it not be
well for the critics of Carnegie to re-
fleet that every cent that went into
his libraries really reached the work
men who built them: that the funds
of the Carnegie Institution are being
applied TO the economic amelioration
OF the whole race, and that the pen
sioning of college professors raises
the standards of public instruction
and thereby makes for our higher
liberty and our greater intellectual
freedoms
No gift OF Andrew Carnegie has
ever been directed toward the staying
of the operations of natural law; none
can ever be interpreted as a reflection
upon the Providence that guides hu-
man affairs. His charities have inYa-
riably aided social evolution, he has
sedulously avoided making his gifts
pIeuulumS upon ldZlAtSS Vi incuIL'
potency, and he has always taken full
precaution that his donations tc
mankind shall be a continuing source
of supply instead Of a temporary re-
lief
We may laugh at the Laird Of Skibo
Castle, we may poke fun at our friend
Andrew Carnegie, but millions yet
unborn will remove their hats tC
his memory, and gray-haired profes-
sors viii bless his name.

Dancers of snowsIides.

Enos A. Mills in Harper's Weekly.
 Snow slides are most frequent on steep mountains that have a heavy snowfall. With billowy train of snow dust boil ing out behind and overturning or crush ing almost everything before they make ar awful and magnificent spectacle. Their speed is sometimes so great that trees alongside are overturned by the swamp ing force of the air, which the slide has violently disturbed.
 There are many authenticated in- stances where miners have been caught on the surface of slide and by dexter ous use of their skis have kept on top of the engulfng surface of the slide, and come out uniniured. John Muir once rode down from the high Sierra on a snowsllde. He was swished back down in a minute over a distance that had taken all day to climb He says of this ride: This flight in a milky way of snowhowers was the most spiritual of all my travels; and after many years, the mere thought of it is still an exhila- ration
 One day while climbing up steep snowy slope slide started beneath me, and for time 1 was on the surface of it's upper edge, where the snow was about two feet deep. Wading a torrent will give some idea of the sweep of the coasting snow The snow-dust steamed and boiled up around me, and each time I struggled to my feet the rushing snow simply jerked my feet from beneath me. At last almost smothered, l was dropped off the back end upon bare ground.
