MISS HELEN MINOR DORRINGTON
Miss Helen Dorrineton, Formerly of
Missouri, Queen of Occident,"
at Merry Celebration in Manils

A Missouri girl, Mise Helen
Minor Darlington, was selected
for the highest social honor at the
recent Philippine week-lopg car
nival at Manila. She was unani-
mously selected "Queen of the Oc-
cident," and throughout the entire
week was the sovereign OF the
greatest season of merry making
since the American occupation OF
the islands.
Although Missouri born and
bred, Miss Dorrington has lived in
Manila the last eight years. With
her father and mother, Mr.. and
Mrs. L. A. Darlington, she went to
the Philippines when she was IL
years old. She is niece of David
A. Ball of Pike county, formerly
a candidate for the Democratic
gubernaeorial nomination and also
of the Ball families OF this county.
Letters from Manila say Miss
Darlington filed her position reg
ally. Her gracefulness and charm
excited the admiration of the ma
tives and of visiting Englishmen
as we'll, and she is now known
popularity throughout the islands
as Queen" Helen.
The young lady is a slender,
statuesque brunette, with finely
chiseled features. A quiet dignity
ana charm of manner make her
winning and attractive. When
she descended from her throne,
after the ceremony of coronation,
her heavy trailing robe borne by
six pages, accompanied by twelve
ladies in waiting, her marked
beauty and grace was greeted with
spontaneous applause, in which
Americans, English aud Fi.ipinos
Joined with equal enthusiasm
The Manila caraival was a lavish
holiday. British men ADD women
from China and from English is-l
land possessions attended. There
were athletic contests, balls, music,
masquerades. The city was
draped in bunting and flags.
Homes were decorated with flowers
and the streets were crowded with
merrymaking and Uttered with
confetti.
English sportsmen from Shan
ghai and Hongkong competed for
carnival prizes in the athletic
events. These consisted of golf,
tennis and polo. The American
athletes were successful beyond
all expectations, winning each
tournament, to the surprise of the
visitors who had expected to make
a clean sweep of everything.
The selection of Miss Dorring-
ton for the chief honor of the car
nival was conveyed to her relatives
in Missouri in a letter from Mrs.
Nellie Brown Sebree, which was
received this week.

ORGANIC EVOLUTION.
How Nature Changes Her Plans 10
Meet New Conditions.

In the course of organic evolution
very many strange and quaint de-
velopments present themselves from
time to time, not only in the history
of a race or genus, but within the
narrow compass of the life of sin
gle individual member of such race
or genus. Nature changes her plans,
in fact, to meet contingencies that
occur Unexpectedly. Probably few
who have any acquaintance with ma
rine fish have failed to notice some
thing strange about the appearance
of what are called flatfsh, known as
the founder family Tor in zoology as
pleuronectidae), embracing the tur-
bot, plaice, brill, sole, halibut, foun-
der, dab, etc. The conformation Of
the head and of the anterior portion
of the body in the adult stage is
characterized by a strained and un-
symmetrical appearance. In this re-
spect the natfsh differ from all 9TH
er members of their geological class.
The question naturally suggests
itself why this particular genus
should be so different from all other
fish, which, as a rule, are remarkable
for their symmetrical and graceful
appearance. And the answer is very
simple. The fatfsh, instead Of
swimming in an upright or vertical
position, like all other fish, has for
some reason or another taken to the
unnatural habit of swimming on its
side. 1t may be on either side
right or left. This enables it to
take up what appears to be the lazy
position of lying fiat on the bottom
of the sea, where it can move about
freely in search of such food as
small marine animals, mollusks,
worms, etc. The young fish swims
erect in the ordinary manner for
some time, but it early shows a
tendency to become lopsided and
gradually falls over on one side,
usually the left, but not invariably
SO by any means.
The eye on the under side, just
so soon as the tendency is shown to
fall over on that side, commences
gradually to move round to the 9th
er or uppermost side and finally
takes its place beside the other eye.
This process is strangely brought
about through the twisting of a por-
ton of the bones of the head, which
gives the latter decidedly de-
formed and unnatural appearance.
The ventral fins become useless and
degenerate. Impaired fins are de-
veloped, the undulatory motion OF
which enables the fish to swim with
ease and even rapidly in the new
and horizontal position assumed

Appropriate.

1t was at a concert held in the
village schoolhouse. In the chair
was a local merchant who, though
a good business man, was not much
of a scholar. He intimated that
the next song would be Cora Pro
Nobis."
The singer made terrible mess
Of it, and consequently it was a
great relief to the audience when
She had finished the last verse. The
chairman did not know the mean
ing of Cora Pro Nobis," SO he APP
piled to the man sitting next to
him. He also did not know that it
meant "pray for u.s." But, not wish
ing to admit such thing, he said:
"Oh, it means we thank you.'
There was a great burst Of laugh
ter from the audience when the
chairman, as the lady was leaving
the platform, rose to his feet and
said:
"NIiss Smith, ora pro nobls.' -

Tennyson In Playful Mood.

Tennyson's simplicity would some
times find vent in almost boyish
freaks. One evening, at Earring
ford. he was seized with the idea
that he would like to dress up one
Of Mrs. Cameron's nieces in the
garb of man. He got one of his
own long coats from the hall and
with a burned cork disfgured her
pretty face, daubing upon it a heavy
black mustache and imperial, and
then retreated to the other side OF
the room to gaze with manifest de-
light upon the result of his handi'
work. - From "Some Early Victo'
rians," by j. Comyns Carr.

A Good Name.

After the civil war many offers of
places of honor and fame came to
General Robert E. Lee. He refused
them all, says Thomas Nelson Page,
in his biography of the soldier. The
only position which he finally did
accept was the presidency of Wash
ington college, with small salary.
On one of these occasions Lee
was approached with the tender Of
the presidency of an insurance COM
pany at salary of $4,000 a year.
He declined it, saying that it was
work with which he was not famil-
lar.
'But, general" said the repre-
sentative of the insurance company
"you will not be expected to do any
work. What we wish is the use OF
your name"
"Do you not think" said General
Lee, "that if my name is worth $780,
900 a year ought to be very care
full about taking care of it,"

among whom was an lrlshman VINO

several times spoken to him about
not carrying his head erect. At last
in desperation the sergeant went up
to him and, reaching up, placed his
head in the desired position.

EXTRAvAGANCE IN DRESS.
The Costly Raiment In Vogue In the
Eighteenth Century.

no koskIJ ndiHeHh w SoSoo w Wv
Eighteenth Century.
We hear much about modern ex-
travagance on the part Of the rich,
in the matter of wearing apparel
especially. One might suppose that
the utmost expenditure of wealthy
man or woman for a single suit in
the eighteenth century was no more
than 800 at the most and that
these suits served year after year.
Nothing of the kind.
In 17r) Mile. de Tournon was
married in Paris. The wedding was
an elegant but not a phenomenal
one as those days went. Her court
gown was of white velvet, elaborate
ly embroidered, and cost $500
nearly $4,000 of our money. This
gown could be worn but few times,
and the chemicals now used for
cleaning and refreshing fine fabrics
had not yet been discovered. She
had several other gowns at prices
varying from $50 to f4OO, and her
aunt gave her f700 for Clans, bags
and garters."
Nine. de Verrue, who is not by
any means a prominent person in
history, had 500 dozen cambria
handkerchiefs and other things to
correspond, and this cambria, hand
woven, had no cotton intermixture.
And the men were as extravagant
as the women. Such a suit as was
required by the guest at fashion
able wedding cost 5000, and he
needed three of them. The most
inexpensive kind of black suit cost
f25 or $50, half a dozen hats at Fl
apiece were none too many, and a
gentleman ordinarily must possess
silk stockings, wooden stockings
and leather stockings and five or six
different kinds of boots, these be-
ing made necessary by the prevail
ing style of knee breeches. A man
Of fashion could get along with six
summer and six winter suits at f1OO
apiece, which does not include the
gold and silver buttons and the lace.
And besides all this the barber and
wigmaker cost his lordship several
pounds a year. He might or might
not wear jewels, but diamond rings,
pins, jeweled sword hits, snuffboxes,
knee buckles and shoe buckles were
not uncommon. And as for lace,
men as we'll as women wore any
amount of that.
The fact is that wealth is much
more evenly distributed today than
it ever was before. One would have
to 20 into semibarbarous countries,
to find anybody living nowadays un-
der the conditions which the peas
ants of England and France lived
under while all this fine dressing
and dining went on. Abundance of
heat, light and hot and cold water
are the luxuries of today; facile
transportation, increased health and
vigor, increased comfort of daily liv-
ing. We spend our money on these
things instead of silk, velvet and
lace, and it pays better.-Gas Logic.
