Bound In GLASGOW.

This is the way books appealed to
the father of Abingdon Baird, a
once well known supporter of the
institution known as 1.-The turf" II
must have some books" he said
when he found an empty library in
the house which he had purchased
IN Roxburgshire. His only condi-
ton was that the volumes should
be handsome and should cover in
bulk so many feet of space. The
bookseller suggested that half
should be bound in Russia and half
in Morocco. 'What on earth's to
hinder you from having the lot
bound in Glasgow 2" was Baird's re-
sponse.-I.ondon Graphic.

"FRANCls' FOLLY"
How Young English Engineer Saved
Lowell From a Flood.

How 4 Young English Engineer Saved
Lowell From Flood.
The city of Lowell was saved
from destruction in 1852 by the
foresight OF one Young man. About
1885 Lowell antiquarian named
Uriah A. Boyden devoted much at
tention TO investigating a tradition
OF great flood in The Merrimac in
1875 and found an old man who re-
lnembered that his father marked
the height of the water by driving a
spike in an apple tree. Mr.. Boyden
persevered in his search until he
found the tree in Tyngsboro, several
miles above Lowell. Its trunk was
hollow, and, entering it from below,
he discovered the spike, its head
wholly concealed by the bark, at a
considerable distance above the
ground. 1t showed that in 1885 the
water had risen TO a point thirteen
and half feet higher than the top
of the dam at the mouth of the ca
nal, which furnished the Lowell wa
ter power in 1895.
The engineer in charge of this
power was James b. Francis, a
young Englishman, who urged the
directors of the corporation to pro-
vide against the recurrence of such
rise of water His arguments pre-
vailed, and he was allowed to con-
struct two immense wing walls of
masonrE, diverging from the canal
lock and inclosing the entire coun-
Try between the canal and the river.
Over the waterway he hung an i'm
mensely strong gate, weighing twen-
ty tons, which was suspended by a
wrought iron chain. A sledge and
a cold chisel were placed in the care
of the watchman for use when need
ed. The work was finished in 1850
and for two years was laughed at as
"Francis' folly"
On the morning of April 22,
1852, the waters rose so high that
the city of Lowell was threatened
with destruction, and The young en-
gineer was sent for. He rode to the
dam without u saddle and hurriedly
cut the chain, releasing the great
gate. His work stood brayely, and
the Boston Advertiser five DAYS
later said that if it had not been
constructed 'eyery vestige of the old
guard gates would have been carried
away and a mighty and uncontrolla-
Bile river would have swept through
the heart of Lowell, destroying every
thing in its course" A service Of
plate was presented to Mr.. Francis,
and during the remainder of his life
he was one Of l.owell's most honored
citizens. For more than forty years
he was agenr OF the corporation con-
trolling the water power.

have very little regard for the fight
against time which spends Itself on =
strife with gray hairs and wrinkles.
There used to be picture published
as an advertisement Ia which an elder
ly woman had one side Of her face all
ironed out smoothly, while the other
was wrinkled and worn. The wrinkled
bide was the more pleasing. As we
grow older every line in the counte-
nance should tell story OF loving
deeds. We are making for ourselves
in youth the masks we shall wear to
the very end. Every fretful, discon-
tented, dissatisfied expression writes
itself upon The face, so that the sweet
est and ripest natures will have the
rarest loveiiness when they grow old.
A woman is as old as she looks aud
as old ss she feels. A sign of our in
creased health and vitality today Is
found in the fact that woman OF
fifty looks. about as old as = woman
formerly looked at thirty-fve, and
many an active woman OF eighty has
the vigor that was formerly common
at sixty. The milestOnes need frighten
nobody. Older people are no longer
put In a corner. nor are they expected
to hug the chimney corner. 1t Is a
womanh obligation TO lie charming to
her latest day.-AIargaret Il. sangster

Not on the Retired List.

A Leavenworth girl up till re-
Gently was engaged to popular Off
Ger at the post. She, however, re-
ceived the attention of the men in
town, and her iiance objected. Fl
nally on that account the engage
ment was broken. One of her
friends in talking with her after
ward said: "Fm glad of it. You
never were bit suited to each other

utepian ideas.

The dictionaries do not seem to
recognize the significance given to
''politeness" in the following sem
tence of Young's preface to his
"Satires:"
"a writer in polite letters should
be content with reputation, the pri-
yate amusement he finds in his COM
positions, the good influence they
have on his severer studies, that ad-
mission they give to his superiors
and the possible good effect they
may have on the public, or else he
should join to his politeness some
more lucrative qualification"
The ideal thus presented is ap-
propriately attractive and roman
tic. Its defect is that harassing diff
ficulty Of attainment which is so
prone to bcset the aspirant after
ptopian conditions. London Notes
and Queries.

Power and Fashion.

There exists a strict relation be-
tween the class of power and the
exclusive and polished circles. The
last are always filled or filing from
the first. Fashion, though in a
strange way, represents all manly
virtue. II is virtue gone to seed, a
kind Of posthumous honor, hall of
the past. Great men are not COM
monty in lis halls. They are absent
In the fields. They are working,
not triumphing. Fashion Is made
ap OF their children.-Emerson

Just as the excursion boat was
leaving the pier Dennis Riordan
came rushing down, picnic basket in
hand, shouting, "Wait for me~ The
boat wouldn't wait, so he jumped,
easily clearing the three feet of wa

and landed fairly ON the deck, but
struck his head against post hard
enough to render him unconscious
for half minute. As he came 10,
he stood up and looked in amaze
ment at the wide stretch of water
between the steamer and the pier.
"Glory bel" he exclaimed. "What

Pitts Sarcasm.

In 1906 Pitt called meeting of
the British militia colonies to con-
slider his additional force bill. Some
objected to the clause which called
them out under all circumstances
and argued that this should not be
"except in case of actual invasion" {"
"Then," said Pitt, sit would be too
late" Presently they came to an
other clause, when the same OBJ
jectors insisted on the militia not
being liable to be sent out of the
kingdom. Except, suppose" said
Pitt, with cruel sarcasm, Sin case of
actual invasion"
