EMERsoN's MEMORY AT FAULT
Had at Times Almost Entire Lack
OF Remembrance.

Emerson was a notable sufferef
from the vagaries of memory. His Dl-
ographer relates that he met him one
day in Boston, apparently at a loss for
something, and asked him where he
was going. ITO dine" said Emerson,
with a very old and dear friend. |
know where she lives, but | hope she
won't ask me her name" and then he
proceeded to describe her as the
mother of the wife of the young man
the tall man-who speaks so well,
and so on until his interlocutor
guessed to whom he was referring.
Even the names of common objects
often failed him completely. On one
OCCASION when he wanted an umbrel-
la, he said Il can't tell it's name, but
| can tell its history. Strangers take
it away"
This failing of Emerson led to a
pathetic scene when he attended
Longfellow's funeral, and remarked as
he gazed at the coffin He was a
sweet and beautiful soul; but have
entirely forgotten his name"

recognition and big pay. OF course,
the fact of being entertained by real
live lord should count on the playbills.
Though his lordship has at present de-
clined the flatterinS offer of 80
weeks engagement in America at the
sum named, it is just possible that he
may reconsider his decision.
The earl of Shaftesbury stands in
the unique position-for a peer-of be.
ing wholly Independent of filthy lucer;
nor has he achieved a reputation
through the channels of notoriety
which other titled stage.struck people
have followed. So far his record has
been a clean one. He has held several
important government commissions
and army appointments. He was aid.
de-camp to the governor of Victoria
in 1898 and has been alderman and
lord mayor of Belfast. His wife, the
countess of Shaftesbury, is sister OF
the duke of Westmir ter and lady
in-waiting to the princess 81, ), .lles In
fact, only quite recently, the earl and
Lady Shaftesbury entertained the
prince and princess of Wales at their
beautiful estate, st. Giles house, in
Dorsetshire. -.
If the music hall stage captures the
earl it will have one of the bluesi
blooded aristicrats who ever has ap
peared in public, and the S., 900 week
salary will be the merest pittance I'm
der the circumstances. One of the
conditions offered by the manager who
is bidding for Lord Shaftesbury's con
tract is that the earl's dignity would
be sustained in accordance with the
noble vocalists rank"
The earl of Shaftesbury's voice is
deemed to be an exceptionally gOoc
tenor. He has only sung in public or
one occasional the dedication of the
new organ at the church of Shastor

ALL WEAR sHIRTWAIsT RINGS
Jewelry for Women to Wear With
Morning Attire.

"Shirtwaist Rings" they are labeled.
They are the simple massive rings
that some women prefer to wear with
morning attire in place Of their jew
eled rings, which they save for after
noon and evening.
All the various forms of seal rings
now popular are included In the shirt
waist ring list, bug the name is used
more especially for rings of severely
plain design set with semi-precious
stones of the kinds that will stand
hard wear and even soap and water
Many OF the shirtwaist rings are
plain bands of twisted or braided gold
or silver. Some are fashioned like
snakes. Most, however, are stone set.
Turquoise matrix is among the best
liked stones, as 1t is becoming to any
hand that has clear skin. 1t is usu-
ally set In large oval trimmed with
an edge Of gold no heavier than Is
necessary to hold 1t securely. sfany
Of the turquoise matrixe rings are sill
yer, highly FURNISHED or oxidized in
very dark tones.
The revived garnet is much used
IN these rings 1t is usually set in
cabochon fashion. A frosted gold ring
in Q deep Etruscan tone has a lions
heat for Its ornament and a cabochon
garnet is set in the lions mouth.
A great oval disk of highly polished
coral simply set in rim of gold is the
ornament Of another ring. Moonstones
are much used. usually set in silver,
which carries out the silvery quality
OF the stone colorlng
Lapis lazuli and malachite are used
with gold or silver rings. One model
has long narrow stone embedded
in the ring so far around the finger
| that the ring seems to be made OF the
stone, Some rings are made entirely
of jade, the Chinese lucky stone. To
| paz and amethyst shirtwaist rings
| abound

NuluaritY of Quarrelinu.

There must be satisfaction in tor
turing human beings, for it is done SO
often. Nobody blames a wife for up
holding her self-respect and resenting
insult, but there is little sympathy for
one who deliberately drives a man to
deeds of rudeness and violence. Nag
ging and indulgence in bad temper
leave indelible marks on the face of a
woman. on her voice and on her char
acter. They shrivel up whatever
sweetness nature has put into her dis
position and make her unlovely, even
in the eyes of those who feel in duty
bound to give her affection. 1t is often
hard to maintain silence under provo.
cation, but there is always the open
door of escape, you know A quarrel
does not thrive when fed from one
side only, and what should be impor.

Resignation to Take Effect Next
Spring-ls Father of Elective

Decentralization Charles W. Eliot,
for years head of Harvard university,
has rendered his resignation. Presi-
dent Eliot will be IS years old next
March, and desires to be free from
the cares Of Office the remainder of
his life
Although because of his age the res
ignation of President Eliot has been
looked forward to- as probability for
the last two or three years, the news
that he will retire i'm the near future
will doubtless cause surprise to thou
sands of Harvard graduates through
out the country. He is the dean of
American university presidents, and
the general public, like Harvard men,
has grown to look upon him MS an
educational institution not to be
changed suddenly. No university head
indeed, probably is better known to
the public than President Eliot. and
his long administration of university
affairs in its essential respects,
seems in keeping with Harvard's spir-
it and history.

SOME SMALL ENGLISH PARISHES.
Dozen Inhabitants In One; in Another
Only Two Houses.

Probably few people know that this
country contains number Of par.
ishes so small that their population
can be housed under one or two roofs.
For instance, Upper Eldon, near
Stockbridge, consists of two houses,
which with an eleventh century church
and tiny Gods Acre" in the middle
of a farmyard adjoining one OF the
dwellings, comprise the whole parish.
Not much larger is the population Of
Lullington, FIVE miles from Eastbourne.
Small as its church is-the interior
dimensions are only 16 feet square
it Is quite large enough for the inhab-
itants.
In Grove near LEIGHTON Buzzard
there are only about a dozen inhabi.
tants, the parish containing modern
farmhouse, two cottages and tiny
church At Rhyd. in Flintshire. while
there are only three adult inhabitants,
the village contains five cottages and
one ship. Until recently there were
two licensed houses. one Of which still
remains. -Tit-Bits.

is one of the most beautiful in its nat

ined. By the side of a lake, at the ex.
tremtty of ford, close to the compos.

natural grotto formed in the solid
rock, which rises precipitously from
the waters edge. Here the bones OF
the famous musician are buried, and,
as the grotto is only accessible from
the lake, the funeral cortege will have
to make the journey by water.

years after 1t moved up to Forty.sec

These two facts ha' ~ qualified him
'titution of learning, according to New
England traditions. Since their es-
adjustment the principal colleges of
he east had been governed by clergy
men past middle life. 1t vas some
thing of a shock to New England to
have a young man and a scientist be-
come the head of Harvard. The idea
Of young men and non-clergymen as
presidents has since become popular,
and this is largely due to the sue
cess of President Eliot's administra-
ton.
The name of President Eliot will
forever be associated with the de-
veopment of the elective system in
American universities. He, possibly
more than anybody else, brought
about this system, which was for a
long time looked upon with suspicion
and distrust and has not yet found
universal acceptance, though to a de-
gree its principles have been accepted
by nearly every one of our larger in
situations of learning. The system
differs fundamentally from the old
rigid curriculum of prescribed studies
in allowing a student to choose the
greater part of the studies he must
take to earn a degree. According to
President Eliot's views on the system

make the largest contribution to the
betterment of the race and combining
practical with theoretical culture.
1t has been said of President Eliot
that he is first, last and only a uni
versity administrator instead OF being
first great teacher or author or
scholar and secondly a great admins.
traitor He has the faculty highly de.
yeloped, of co-ordinating the work OF
many men toward a harmonious and
effective end, and he has a vigorous
and impressive personality that has
enabled him to carry out his ideas
without exciting opposition. His kind
,ness of spirit and desire TO put stu
dents ON their honor as much as pos.
aible have made him popular with
undergraduates to an extraordinary
degree
one of his great achievements as
ana administrator has been the steady
bettering OF the Harvard professional

dental school have been greatly i'm
proved and, the law schools high
