AMERICAN WOMEN SURPASS IN
BRAINS.

The quality that is most striking
in American girls is their intellig
ence, says Mr. Mucha, the artist, in
the New Idea Women's Magazine for
August. This is a form Of femininity
to which we foreigners are not ac-
customed. Your women think with a
mind as clear as the average man s.
That comes from training.
Through careful study [ have
concluded that the American woman $
brow is higher than the brow of wo-
men Of any other country This is
the result Of generations and genera
tons of women who have thought.
and it is the desire Of the men belong
ing to this country to have women
for their good companions that have
developed this thought and brow. The
man Of your country loves and de-
mands intellectual response in his
womankind
I have found a delightful COM
bination in your men and women.
This is recognized commercial
country. The man must think on
commercial subjects. He has but
little time for art and the idealistic
He deals with cold facts and reality.
This has developed i'm him a strong
jaw; he had a bulldog tenacity
which has made his country what it
is today, and the effect Of this
thought, effort and determination
has developed this square, strong
jaw.
This turning of the mans thoughts
to commercial pursuits has left
music, art and literature to your wo-
men They have been forced to-
develop these arts, which the men
love but have no time to cultivate.
With the developing Of them and the
thought and brain power necessary
for their accomplishment, you have
a high brow and clear, refined brain.
This combination is glorious, and one
found in the women Of no other
country.

TT rs TO LAUGH!

1t gives us a pain to see papers,
like the Sparta Ishmaelite and Way
nesboro True Citizen foaming at the
mouth, concerning Tom Watson's
attitude in Georgia politics. When
Hoke Smith and his Democratic
allies, two years ago, swallowed the
Populist platform, including Mr.
Watson, bag and baggage, it was all
right. Not dissenting word did we
hear from the IshmaeliteF or True
Citizen when the Miller executive
committee let down the bars and
asked every white man in Georgia to
come in and participate. Not word
said about future loyalty. On the
other hand, the Smith papers were
terribly wrought up when the Yeo-
man s executive committee, of four
years ago, attempted to have a real
Democratic primary by putting a
caption on the ballot, endeavoring to
LOlC0 Gu6 leu IHIIlS. LII is d uldIb0r
Of history, as to what happened to
the faction to which the Yeoman s
committee had allegiance. The Ish-
maelite and True-C Citizen together
assisted in putting that committee out
Of business. In its place arose a COM
mittee that absolutely fawned, pam
dered to and swallowed the Populists.
Now, that the present executive
committee, the members of which
were taught few political tricks by
the other wing, propose to profit
thereby, a great howl goes up.
However, the present committee is
setting "steady in the boat" and
propose to feed the other fellow out
Of his own spoon.

Symbolism Of College Gowns.
It has been said that few people, in.
Guiding many university men them.
selves, have any definite idea Of the
meaning of the gowns worm by collegi.
ate students.
In America university gowns exhibit
much variety. there being a great DIFF.
ference in the various institutions, but
all over the country-in fact, all over
the English speaking world-certaiD
distinctions hold.
The ordinary bachelors gown, the
first the student owns, is Of unadorned
black with pointed sleeves and is or
dinarily made Of serge or other SIM
pie black fabric. The masters gown
is like the students. inasmuch as it Is
plain-black. but the sleeves are cut diff
ferently, being long pendants shaped
not unlike fish tails and hanging from
the elbows nearly to the bottom of the
gown. The masters gown may be
made Of silk, as may also the bache-
lor's gown If it is worn by a man of
long academic standing who has hap
pened to receive no higher degree, but
the ordinary university man has no
desire to clad himself in silk.
Most doctors gowns. especially in
England and Scotland, have hoods that

ferentiate by differences Of color the

PAPER WATERMARKs.
Method by Which the Devices Are

Method by Which the Devices Are
Imprinted on the Sheets.
The discovery of the watermark was
the result Of an accident-probably a
thousand years ago. Parchment was
then made Of vegetable pulp. which
was poured in q liquid state into a
sieve; the water dripped out from be-
low, and TIE thin layer of pulp that
remained was pressed and dried. When
dry It was found to bear upon 1t the
marks of the fiber that composed the
bottom OF the sieve.
These fbers seem to have been
twisted reeds. and the mark they left.
on the parchment took the form OF
wide lines running across and across
diagonally. In those days the water.
mark was regarded as a blemish since
the fiber was thick and coarse and the
deep impression made on the paper
proved a drawback in writing. The
quill Of the scribe found many a yawn.
ing gap to cross on the surface Of the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS scripture" II
has been termed. But when wire was
substituted for fiber In the sieve the
lines Of the waterwark grew thinner
and less conspicuous.
The possibilities Of the usefulness OF
the watermark became apparent by
degrees. 1t was first found to be OF
service in preventing the forgery Of
books and manuscripts. Many a bogus
copy Of a rare work has been detected
because the counterfeiter failed to take
into account the watermarks OF the
original. The watermark Of many o
precious manuscript in the worlds
museums is alike Its glory and its safe.
guard. And In the sphere of bank
notes and paper money everywhere
the watermark Is most useful in pro
tecting the notes from imitation.
The term ..watermark" is in reality
q misnomer since the mark is actually
produced by wire. Wire is fashioned
into the desired pattern. figure or let
tering. This is inserted beneath the
sheet in the last stages Of its manu-
facture and while the paper is still
capable Of receiving the impression
and the wire device stamps itself int
the sheet. Ordinary note paper helG
up to the light reveals hundreds O
parallel lines running up and down
betraying the fact that the paper wa,
made on a wire foundation. To thi!
the paper owes Its smoothness and 1T
even texture.
In the manufacture Of postage
stamps the watermark is of immens'
advantage as a safeguard. The wire
that produce the marks are kept strict
" under lock and key. They ar
brought out only when wanted, and al
inspector keeps an eye On them til
their task is done. when they are q

Many amusing anecdotes r told st.
Bishop Burnet's absence of mind, but
few perhaps are more striking and
have been less repeated than the fol-
lowing, which, Lord Oxford used to re.
late:
Burnet was once dining with the
Duchess Of Marlborough after the.
great dukes disgrace. In the course Of
conversation, speaking Of Marlbor=
ough's great qualities, great services
and great fall, Burnett compared the
duke with B%elisarius, the great Ro-
man.
"But how i'll reason" exclaimed the
duchess, could so great a general be
a~bandoEed?'
"Ah, my lady, do you know what a
cursed birthstone of a wife he had?"
The hearers, to the good Burnet's
surprise, were confused and dumb

discovered i'll the of the Roman
and the Englishman.-St. James Ga

until recently held court there of vel

each of the men who had nightly been
entertained by his flow of anecdote
and hts abundance Of witty stories CON
