Heicht of Great Men.

The duke of Wellington has always
been a mystery. l have read that he
was six feet four inches tall. | have
read also that he was only five feet
six inches. Historians tell us he was
anywhere from five feet six inches to
five feet eleven inches. There are
some things, seemingly very simple
which il is impossible to establish;
this is one of them. Historians are
still guessing the height of Julius
Caesar the size of Hannibars head,
the weight of Alexander the Great and
the general dimensions of Solomon.
Why, we are not even sure of the stat
ure of George Washington. 1t might
be believed that Napoleon, Alexander
the Great and Jay Gould were of the
same size, three bumptious little chaps.
And it is common belief that Charlie
magne, Erling the Bold, Frederick the
Great. Robert Bruce, Sir William Wal
lace, Gen. Winfield Scott and Richard
Occur de Lion were all top-notchers,

Dictionary Users Modest.

Men are never so modest as when
they go to use dictionary" remarked
an attendant at the public library. "As
a rule when you see man go TO a
public dictionary or one in any place
where other people are around, you'll
see him look around furtively as If in
fear somebody might see him. Men who
make no pretensions at having any
great amount of knowledge neverthe-
less seem to be embarrassed to have
any one think that they do not know
the pronunciation or meaning of some
English word. The next time you see
man looking up word in the die
tionary, just ask him what 1t is he
is looking up, and see If he will tell
you. You'll find in at least nine cases
out of ten that he won't tell. He's
afraid you'll know it and have the
fun of enlightening him."-Cleveland

A Delicate Touch.

Old Miss Bugbee was very deaf, and
very sensitive about her infirmity.
Such was her natural cleverness and
ingenuity, however, that she usually
escaped from serious embarrassment;
and she always so vehemently

mechanical nature that her friends no
longer dared to suggest them to her.
But on one occasion things went not
according to schedule.

He recommends change Of air and

womeN,s SENSE OF BEAUTY.
This 10 Chief Cause Of Their Extrsvs-
eance in Dress.

Modern women are extravagant."
SAYS Mrs. Ellen II. Richards, but Il Is
the conditions of our modern life. with
its loss of personal independence,
which are to blame for this extrava-
gance"
Mrs. Richards teaches in the lnsti-
tute of Technology and is deeply In
terested in educational questions, par
ticularly those which relate to econom-
lie and industrial training. but before
everything else Mrs. Richards Is a
gracious, charming lady who moves
among the glass TASKS and Bunsen
burners of her chemical laboratory
with the same poise and dignity which
her mother probably showed In the lin
en- room so years ago, says the bos-
ton Herald So one isn't surprised TO
find that while the tech teacher
realizes perfectly all the temptations
which the modern woman Is heir TO.
her plea is not the overcoming OF these
temptations by mannish disregard OF
all pretty things, but rather return
TO the old. beautiful ideals OF living.
which recognized primarily that things
were not really pretty unless they
were also good"
She compared the women OF today
and of so years ago as regards the
quantity and the quality Of their
dresses.
Did you never hear of the judges
wife in one of our Massachusetts
towns" she asked, who had only
three gowns"
Her gray eyes smiled quietly as she
watched the establishment of her
twentieth century listener, and she
continued in calm enjoyment:
Yes, she had her morning gown, in
which she did her housework--linsey
woolsey. | suppose 1t was. spun by her
self-and she had the gown which she
wore for calls and at church, and then
she had her beautiful brocade, heavy
and rich and splendid-why, it would
stand alone. And it cost great deal,
because II was such a lovely thing;
but she wore it and wore 1t and hand
ed it down to her daughter and even
now it's the most precious dress OF
the daughters daughter.
But compare with that inventory
the gowns of woman of to-day. She
must have her morning dress, which
she can never wear in the afternoon;
she must have gowns for street wear,
for dinners, for receptions, for dances,
for lectures. And yet-she hasn't one
really nice dress out of the lot-how
can she, when she must have so
many?
It's this desire for the show of
things and not for the real goodness
that is the greatest extrav-
agance of modern women" declared
Mrs. Richards with increasing fervor.
Instead of getting one nice gown
which will last for years and years,
we get these slazy stuffs which pull
to pieces before the season is over.
And the reason is that our sense OF
beauty is defective"

Last Lords Day visited Cres-

to find James Cage. the beloved
minister of the First Christian
Church. lying at the point of death
from severe beating administered
on the preceding Thursday by a
notorious character there, who has
been troubling the church much
since last July. when the brethren
began the temperance crusade,
ousting the saloons, since which
time this party (called Norris) has
severely assaulted one of the dea-
cons and one of the elders, finally
consummating in the blacklist deed
ever recorded in the history of
Crescent, by attacking Bro. Cage
from behind, knocking him insen-
sible, and then beating him unmer-
cifully, without a cross word be-
tween the two, either in the begin
ming of the conflict or prior. The
crime is most heinous, when we
see that Norris is veritable giant
of the muscular power of a modern
pugilist, weighing over two hun
dred pounds, and Bro. Cage is a
small man weighing 135 pounds,
and in extremely delicate health,
suffering from heart trouble. TAX
ing me by the hand, and with
tears in his eyes, he assured me
that the cause of Christ would be
exalted in Crescent by his suffer-
ing. Truly this brother has the
spirit of the compassionate One,
for he spake not a word of re-
venge nor hatred against the one
that so numerically assaulted

PeWs with PRIVILEGES.

Are you aware" said the antiquary
that there are certain church pews
20 which the contribution basket is
never passed."
No"
1T is a fact These pews are in
certain old Episcopal churches in
Philadelphia, in Boston, and in num-
Der of New England villages.
They have been rented on a non
contribution-basket basis for a couple
of centuries. In the past, il Is said,
men slept in church; they even played
ecarte or draughts there, and the ad.
vent of the contribution basket would
have been an amazing interruption to
them. So for a very much higher
rental they obtained pews that the col
lectors ignored. These pews in
churches that like to keep up the
quaint customs of the past are still
maintained"

WHY THE BLUENOSE?
NOVA scoTIANs NOT FOND OF BE-
ING so CALLED.
Name, However, Has Stuck to Them
Since Time Out Of Mind-Sore
Explanations as to Its
Origin.

Those who dwell In the Canadian
province of Nova Scotia are called
bluenoses. The name has stuck to
them since time out of mind, but how
they came TO get il is a matter of con-
lecture. One thing is certain-they
don't like II.
Nova Scotians pride themselves on
their English ancestry, and some will
offer the suggestion that the name is a
token that the blue blood shows
When the French were driven out of
Acadia the fertile lands they vacated
were taken up by English colonists,
chiefly from Massachusetts.
The spirit of revolt was strong then
in Boston and elsewhere in New Eng
king and taxes found IL a good oppor-
.unity to move, and from these loyal
lists Acadia was largely repeopled
1t may be that the blue blood shows
and that the name is a badge of
honor, but most Nova Scotians don't
believe It, for they feel that it is a
term of reproach.
Why bluenose" was the question
m TO one young woman whose home
isn't far from Nova Scotia
Why, after the bluenose potatoes,
of course" she said, "and | think it's
mean to name people after potatoes.
Now, it's true that next to apples
potatoes form the greatest product of
the rich Nova Scotian soil. And it's
also true that the bluenoses is the
bright particular star among the varie
ties of potatoes they raise in Nova
Scotia.
But the potatoes were named for
the people. not the people for the po-
tatoes. It's a simple question of
chronology.
You explain it carefully to the young
woman and she says: How silly of
me-" but you can see with half an eye
that you haven't convinced her.
Here's another guess. Being the
third and last. maybe it's the right
one. At any rate it's the one generally
accepted in that part Of the American
world known as Down East
