Jenny Geddes.

OF the memories that gather around
st. Giles cathedral. Edinburgh, none
Is more cherished by the Scotsman
than the story of Jenny Geddes.
Charles l., determined to force epts-
copacy, commanded that on July %,
1887, the English church service
should be read in every parish church
in Scotland. On that Sunday great
crowd gathered in St. Giles, and when
Dean Hannay, in surplice, began to
read the prayers such a commotion
ensued that his voice was drowned.
One voice, however, rose above the
din-Jenny Geddes. "Out! Quit" she
cried. Does the false loon mean to
say his black mass at my lug?" And
selling her stool she threw it a. the
head Of the astonished dean. 1here
followed such an uproar that the SER
vice had to be abandoned.
In modern and more peaceful times
this event, momentous in it's outcome,
has been concentrated by two me-
mortal tablets In the cathedral. Ono
is to Dean Hannay, the other, erected
by Lord President 1nglis, Is to the
memory of "a brave Scotswoman,
Janet Geddes, who on July %, 1887.
struck the first blow in the great
struggle for freedom of conscience,
which after a conflict of half cen.
fury, ended in the establishment Of
civil and religious liberty"

LOOMS to accumulate so large an es-
tate as that. It was known that he
had inherited nothing and that. how.
ever the estate was gained by him, 1t
was the result of his own savings or
work.
Not until some time after the pro:
batting of the estate did the true ex.
PLANTATION of the manner in which
his fortune had been accumulated be.
gin to be made in sort of conflden-
tial way to the inner circle at Yale
college. Then 1t was said: "Profes-
sor Loomis was one Of the most sue
cessful of the writer's of American
text books. not only from the scholar r.
ly point Of view, but from that Of
business. His text books upon mathe-
mates and astronomy, his text books
upon meteorology and allied sciences,
had a sale wherever the English Ian
guage was spoken, sale the magni-
tude of which was known only to Pro-
lessor LOOMS and his publishers. "
And In clearing up the estate evil
dence was also obtained among some
Of Professor LOOMS papers tending
to show that at the time when he be-
gan to write text books he had no
other purpose In view than the max
ing of Yale University the beneficiary
of all of his earnings from the books,
subject to life interest in a part Of
the estate which his sons were to

is MADE OF 4RUsTLEss IRON
sisted corrosIon During Period
Of $500 Years.

On the plains of Delhi in India there
stands massive iron pillar, nearly
sixty, feet in length and weighing
about nineteen tons. This ancient
column is literally a monument to the
Anticipated" processes and metallur-
gists that produced it. for it has re-
sisted the attack of the elements dur
ing a period Of about 1900 years in
which fully million times its bulk of
iron or steel has crumbled into useless
dust. No one would suggest that civil
lied man return to the primitive and
laborious methods by which the iron
Of this column was made 50 long ago.
and besides there are not men enough
living today to supply our present de-
mands, even II all Of them should en-
gage in this type Of manufacture. But,
granting that the world would pay for
limited amount of iron as passive"
as this old Kutub pillarfl it is very
doubtful whether modern iron-workers
know how to make it. Probably this
specimen Of unusual iron was the re-
suit OF accident rather than design,
as far as its resisting qualities are
concerned, and it stands today tho sur
vival of the fittest. not so much be-
cause it was intended to be, as be-
cause it proved to be-, the most last
ing. For it Is not likely that proc
ess known to give iron of this kind
would ever have been used SO seldom,
since the Importance of rust-resist-
Ing iron and steel was as much appre-
ciated in those days as now. No
doubt all the older processes made
iron and steel which rusted less-yes,
and some Of it very much less-than
what is usually produced today, but
there is great difference between
.this mere excellence and a resist
ance to corrosion during thirty cen
turtles such as this column shows

The Because Man.

Suppose everyone did just what he
intended to do and no one failed be
cause" Then there would be no fail
ures to point out. There would be no
subjects for sermons for those who
had no because" attached to their
names. The man without the title
could not point to the because" man
and say: HE did not succeed be-
cause" So the because" man may
take heart and feel that because he
did not he is surety: at last the sub
ject of this sketch. True he did not
scale the rugged wall, nor climb to
heights unseen~ by the masses who
are also other because" men.
Most of us are because" men, we
yearn for the unattainable; we feel
that life is failure. But maybe the
realities are dreams of callow youth
did not come nearer the dreams than
we think. Maybe the awakening will
show that the because" men climbed
higher than they thought and maybe
the Judge will show those who stood
on the heights that the clouds are
well worth striving for but in the
depths there is some sunlight" But
the man should never have because"
as an excuse.

Earned Fortune With His Pen

his sons were to have q life interest,
the income from it being divided be-
tween them. and after that interest
lapsed, the entire estate was to go to
Yale for the purpose of establishing
as great and fully equipped an as
Economical observatory as the amount
Of the estate would permit.
Every one around Yale gasped
when he learned the provisions of the
will. Had this quiet professor, who
had led lonely life, been able to
save out OF his salary a sum as great
as twenty-five thousand dollars? That
was the estimate Of the value of the
estate commonly made from the ma
ture of the bequest. But when the
estate was inventoried and the admin
istrators made their reports to the
probate court, a most amazing state
of affairs was disclosed. The quiet
professor had amassed not $4,000,
but a fortune q little In excess of
100000; his investments had been
made with wisdom, most of them
were what are called quick assets.
And one after another Of his old fac

changeabIe Silks Most Appropriate for
Trimming That Just Now Is
Much Favored-Embroid-
cry on Serge Dresses.

Ruches trim some of the newest
Silk frocks. The old fashioned double
box-pleating, stitched in the middle
and pinked on the edges, Is used to
edge sleeves, fichus and the edges OF
skirts
The changeable silks are especially
appropriate for this kind of trimming
They are quaint in themselves, and
when made with fichus and the new
self-trimming they hint of grandmoth'
er's day-only they are much lovelier!
A charming frock brought from
Paris was of blue and green change
able silk, with a f1chu of very fine
tulle embroidered in blue coinspots
The yoke of tho gown was of plain
tulle. Sleeves were puffed and elbow
length. The skirt opened at the side
over ruffled underskirt.
Some of the new tailored serge
dresses are showing broad bands OF
embroidery around the hips. Blue
serge is trimmed with light blue; red
with brighter shade, and 80 on.
Lingerie frills of sheer batiste OF
net are used on many of the serge
fr0cks.
A lovely white frock. of sheer linen
had heavy embroidery in beige colored
yarn.
Many summer fyocks have scarfs
designed for them. These are draped
around the shoulders in the form OF
little nantes. One in soft liberty
satin was crossed at the back and the
ends finished with deep silk fringe.
For those In mourning, scarfs of
crepe lined with 1nousseline de sole
are worn.
Figured tulle oyer white silk is
used for little separate coats for
young girls.
Hats of the cretonne are made over
little bonnet wire shapes, fitting quite
closely.
Natural colored pongee dresses are
trimmed with scarlet or bright blue.
This is particularly favored for young
girls who need simplicity with sug'
gestion of brightness.-New York Sun.

Photograph Burned Manuscript.

Photograph Burned Manuscript.
The processes Of color photography
have recently been applied to obtain
a legible photograph of the writing
on burned manuscripts which were un-
readable by any other known means.
AS long as the sheet has not been en-
tirely disintegrated positive results
can be obtained every time.
The charred manuscript is carefully
arranged, in as near its original shape
as possible, on a sheet of glass. and
covered with drying varnish, after
which it is backed by another sheet
Of glass.
BY using careful]y-selected color
screens and orthochromatic plates a
perfectly legible photograph Of the
writing may be taken, although there
may be no marks on the charred re-
mains that are visible to the eye.
This is the only known method that
will give results when the writing
has been made with vegetable inks
Ordinary photography can be used
successfully when the ink contains

glass buy ribbon to match the deco

to make cover for the glass by sew
ing two pieces together. The cover
may be either the length of the tube

longer and shirred on each side. Tho
latter way Is prettier, but it will catck

At the bottom of the case the rib<
