Art Leads LANGUAGE and scIenc..

Art Leads Language and Science.
The fact is that art is working far
ahead of language as well as of sci
ence, realizing for us. by all manner of
suggestions and exaggerations, effects
for which as yet We have no name:
nay, for which we may never perhaps
have direct name, for the reason that
these effects do not enter very largely
into the necessities of life. Hence
alone is that suspicion of vagueness
that often hangs about the purpose of
a romance; it is clear enough to us
in thought; but we are not used to con-
slider anything clear until we are able
to formulate it in words, and analytical
language has not been sufficiently
shaped to that end 1t is not that
there is anything blurred or indefinite
in the impression left with us, it is
just because the impression is so very
definite after it's own kind, that we
find 1t hard to fit it exactly with the
expressions of our philosophical
speech Robert Louis Stevenson.

we're strain upon the reserve forces
of even the happiest marriage There
is some excuse outside the home
wherein no thought is given to social

Woman's Life. This dropping out IS
very easy, but even when prosperity
comes, and large social functions are
possible, It is too late to gain that

NAUGHTY HOTEL WATERS
1t Is Not Easy to Get Even With Those

to one of arrogant haughtiness. There
are only two ways of getting even
with such q waiter.
The best way is to carry club In

much sang froid as may be assumed

the waiter approaches with a look OF

hesitate to adopt 1t on that account,

where Luther Burbank, the plant wiz

fruits. -
At Asst b the largest wine tank in
the world This great cistern is yir-
tually huge subterranean lake OF
wine, carved from the solid rock and
lined with q two foot thickness Of
Portland cement, with glazed sur
face. The upper sides and roof are Of
reinforced concrete topped by unique
center dome built Of rough rocks. This
mighty tank contains enough ruby
vintage for whole nation to toast its
heroes with and is just 10 times as
large as the great stun at Heidelberg.
To be precise, the Asst cistern is "a
feet long, "a feet wide and Is feet
high. and its contents would provide a
glass each to 100000 people. An
idea OF its great size may be gained
from the fact that when it was first
empt1ed hundred couples joined in
gay ball within it, to the music of
large military band.
The cistern was built to conserve
the wine until an opportune time ar
rived for selling it, and to make large

final decision was no! Mary, in tears,
said she would marry no other man.
Father and the boys and mother and
the girls agreed that either going
abroad or going into society would

marry q rich man. But shall be un-
happy. Do you want me to be un-
happy?"
They looked at her, the beloved Of
all their hearth. And suddenly father
melted. He held out his arms to
Mary. and she ran to him and hid her
face against his shoulder. Then moth
er gave In, and after mother, the boys
and the girls.
"She shall marry whom she
pleases.' they said, as Mary sobbed.
Wasn't Mary the youngest of the fam
lily, and hadn't they always let her
have her own way?
A little later their reward came.
The toW-headed young man called and
was received none too cordially. They
wanted Mary to be happy, but the tow
headed young man had not fulfilled
their ambitions.
When he had stated his love for
Mary he gave general invitation:
why can't all of you come over and
spend the summer with met" he
asked.
"Spend-where?" they asked in a
bewildered chorus.

Idea of your travelling now. Wouldn't
you rather stay here and see some
thing of society?"
Mary shook her head. II don't like
society,"" she. said.
Father and the boys smiled. Then
you will go abroad?" they demanded
breathlessly.
A cloud came over Mary's counte-
nance. Il don't want to do any
thing" she said, but stay right here
and have good time"
The family exchanged glances. That
was exactly what they did not want
Mary to do. The tow-headed young
man from the hotel was entirely too
much In evidence. And they had am
billions for Mary.

matrimonial chances were limited.
nodded eager assent. They were all
fond of Mary and they all wanted her
to do well. What was the use OF hav-
ing beauty in the family ii she did
not live up to her social opportuni-
ties?
Meantime, Mary was again playing
tennis with the tow-headed young
man. She liked him very much He
had kind eyes and pleasant manner.
Mary was not sure whether she loved
him, but she thought It would not be
hard to do 80. Anyhow, she did not
want to 60 abroad or into society, for
It seemed to her that these things
might separate her from the tow-head-
ed young man. She was sure that he
was poor. for he dressed very simply
and never talked OF having things.
Mary's own family always talked Of
having things. They made the most
Of their little income. Mary often
wished that there were more lamb
chops and less silver plate. She had
i healthy appetite which demanded
plenty Of bread and butter and less

While they drank their tea, the
