chips few, and vide notch grew
In the trunk.
In q few moments he shifted to
the other side, cut another notch,
and sighted for the probable direc-
ton OF the fall Of the stub. He
could not tell how the roots held.
He would have to leave that import
ant factor to chance; but he cut. now
delicately, now strongly, till the ire
NOR through the ax-handle told that
the trunk was growing unsteady.
1t was the critical moment. He
sighted again most carefully, and
cut out few small chips here and
there. The stub tottered. 1t was
standing poised upon thin edge of
uncut wood, and he stood behind it
and pushed, cautiously, and then
heavily.
The tall trunk wavered, and the
fbers snapped loudly. It hesitated,
bowed, and Allen leaped away from
the butt. Down came the pine, roar
ing through the air.
1t crashed into the water with a
mighty wave and splash that hid boy
and rock, and Allen had moment
of Mortified belief that his brother
had been crushed under IL. A mo-
ment later he saw that Louis was un-
hurt. But the tree had actually
grazed the rock. 1t had fallen within
eight inches of the boys body.
1t made d perfect bridge as 1t lay,
but In his nervous reaction Allen was
almost too shaky 20 walk the trunk
and pull his brother out. He did 1t,
although how he got him to land he
never quite knew. Louis was al
most unconscious, and his wet
clothes froze instantly into a mass
of ice.
He would certainly have lapsedi
into sleep and died, but Allen piled
the pine chips about the stump and,
had fire blazing in few seconds.
The dry stump burned like pitch, pro-
ducing a furnac- like heat; and Allen
partly undressed his brother and.
rubbed him hard with snow. Under.
this heroic treatment Louis came
back to painful consciousness, and
the fierce heat from the pine did the
rest. But it was several hours before
he was able to resume the tramp. and
1t was dark when they reached the
shanty.-Youth's Companion.

Famous brains are of four sorts
The lowest group contains the minds
that are stimulated greatly by alco-
hol, tea and other drugs, and by i'm
pressions derived from the senses:
the second group contains the infant
prodigies whose intellectual powers
wane in middle age: the third grouu
contains the pathological cases usu-
ally terminating in insanity; the
fourth and highest group is that Of
true geniuses, whose powers remain
unimpaired until old age. This is
Hausemann's classification.
Spitzka has come to the conclusion
that men eminent in exact sciences
like astronomy and mathematics
have the greatest average brain
weight. Next come the men OF ac-
tion, including statesmen and artists,
and after these come the biologists.

OF the descriptive sciences. &C Chicago

The Girl Who Tries to Conquer
New York.
By MRS. DIMIEs DENIsON.


ST know of nothing more pathet-
ic," said a woman to me, lately,
than the one face one is sure to find
at every boarding house in New York
the face of the girl who has just
come to conquer the city. To me
such faces are more tragic than an
army with banners. Why doesn't
she go homer"
Now, why should she go home
the girl who has just come to con-
quer the city? The women who are
at the heads Of their professions did
not go home. and they are not going
to keep their places always. Who
will take their places If that army of
eager, confident young women at the
boarding house tables of New York
should suddenly go home?
There came a girl to New York,
three years ago, who went to see one
Of the successful women in her pro-
fession.
my dear young friend" said the
successful woman, Ego home. have
an average of ten girls day who
come to me as you have come. I
know girls of college
bred and clever-who cannot earn
Hve dollars a week in this town. Go
home and stay there.
"But you didn't go home," sug-
gested the girl.
THAT was because didn't know
what was daring" replied the sue
cessful woman.
The girl did not go home, how
ever. She stayed, and now she is
earning salary almost equal to that
Of the. successful woman-for New
York is indeed fairy city If one
knows a little magic oneself.
To every girl who has come here
to make her way / should like to say
two things:
First, know yourself; that bit of
advice has never yet been equaled
Second, If it is not your pride, nor
your desire, nor your discomfort at
home, but your sober judgment of
your own ability and perseverance
that leads you to believe honestly
that you can win-then stay.
Given health, and with no pressing
call of duty at home, any girl who
understands her own personality, and
who stays in the belief have just
mentioned, holds her future in her
own hands. IN her own hands!
There. alas, is the rub; for upon the
way she juggles the future with her

although it took the trainer thres
years to accomplish it. Then he
thought he had dog that differed
from all the other dogs in the world,
but in this he was mistaken, for there
are at least three varieties of dogs
that never bark-the lion-headed
dog of Thibet, the shepherd dog of
Egypt and the Australian dog. The
law in some countries is quite severe
on night-barking dogs. In Japan,
for instance, the owner of dog is
liable to arrest and to penalty of
one years work on the complaint of
anyone who has been disturbed by
the barking. Herald

The mushroom hats continue IN

for much of the trimming of feathers,

droop against the hair with pleasing

passes all around the head size, and
is covered with Hoped ribbon, rails
