YOUNG VIRGINIA ARTIST.

Miss Virginia Wood is one of the
very youngest and most talented of
American women artists. Like many
daughters of the Old Dominion, she
migrated a few years ago to New
York city, where she soon came to
the fore. In her work Miss Wood
employs either chalks or charcoal /;
and she has been so exceptionally
successful as a portraitist that her
services are almost continually in
demand by women of fashion and
wealth. Still on the sunny side Of
twenty-five, Miss Wood of Virginia
and New York is an extremely pref
ty girl, with an animated manner
and possessed of many qualities
which make her socially popular.

ECONOMICS is A FAVoRITE.

The first report of the results of
the new grouping of studies" sys-
tenn at Harvard is now at hand. I'm
der this system every student must
take at least six of his courses in
some one department and six more
courses must be distributed among
the three general groups in which his
chief work does not lie. AS to the
five remaining courses necessary for
a degree, free election prevails. Of
the present sophomore class-a total
of 1873 are concentrating their work
in economics, SIS in engineering and
As in romance languages, English,
history and chemistry follow in the
order named. The report will cause
no surprise. Economies has long
been a popular subject with college
men, principally because it is sup
posed to bear a rather close relation
to the life work of the ordinary grad
uate.

SHE DEMANDS SQUARE DEAL
Rich American Wife Of Foreign Noble
man VIII Stand No Nonsense
From Him.

Representative Henry of Texas,
whose campaign against internation-
al marriages has already borne fruit
in the Gould-Drexel wedding and
the Sears-Vanderbilt engagement,
said the other day in Waco:
"My investigation of information
al marriages has revealed one good
thing. This rich American wife
stands no nonsense from her for
eign husband. She gives him a
square deal and if he doesn't give
her one in return-bang!
"There was a young nobleman
who, on an allowance of 100000
from his wife, New York girl, be-
gan to live a very gay life. Then
came the inevitable separation, the
withdrawal of the allowance and the
end to all gaiety forever.
"1'm sorry, old chap said one of
the nobleman's friends, I'm very
sorry to hear you've fallen out with
your wife
"'Oh, I didn't fall out was the
dismal reply. She chucked me out "

HoBNosBEp WITH ROYALTY
Senator Carriers Tale Of Hls Visit 10
London Quito squeIched Mr..
NewIyrich.

A newly rich yailroad man on one
occasion bored Senator Carter with a
description Of his FIRST visit to Lon
don. The now millionaire was
rather snobbish in his ways and say
ings. He told Of the great people
he had met and finally asked Carter
if he had ever been in London.
ooh, yes, frequently" replied Car
ter.
"Whese did you put upT
Buckingham palace" was Car
ter's rejoinder, and he proceeded to
tell his newly rich friend how he
and Queen Victoria and the late
King Edward, then the prince of
Wales, and all the royal family had
breakfasted together. Carter went
into details giving the different
breakfasts every morning at the pal
ace. He switched to the luncheons
and finally to the dinners, which he
described in detail, telling how huge
diamonds were set in the gold din
ner plates and how the prince of
Wales pried out several and handed
them to Carter for keepsakes. Then
Carter remarked on the jolly times
he had rolling on the floor playing
with the royal children, and this rig
marole lasted for an hour. In the
end his newly wealthy friend seemed
to be utterly crushed.

PROOF OF THE MAN.

Unthinking and self-engrossed
young womanhood is apt to plume
itself on lovers devotion so COM
plete that it leaves no room for even
common courtesy to the rest of the
world.
This type of girl rather prides
herself on the passion she has in
spired, when her lover brushes care
lessly past any woman to get to her,
and all the time if she knew men,
she might feel a pang of fear as
to her own future.
Once the fever of his love dream
is over, just with the careless dis
courtesy with which he treats other
women will her lover treat her after
marriage.
The best proof that a man will
prove as kind and considerate hus-
band as he is in his unfailing eour-
tesy and consideration to all women.
Because he loves one does not
make a gentleman less gentle-but
more.

Patient Investigator rInds that lie
6o-oaiIed Eyes Are Not Or
psns Of Vision.

The mail docs not receive in this
country the attention that Euro
peans zee Al 70 bestow upon him.
For some time controversy has
bean going ON between scientists
there over the question of the eye
sight Of the humble mollusc.
One school holds that the eyes Of
the anal cannot stand the bright
sunlight, and point 10 the fact that
be takes his lsisurely walks abroad
at night, and that he has a fondness
for the shade.
Now comes patient investigator
named Yung, who claims that the
snail doesn't zee at all. He has made
2,400 experiments upon 176 speci-
mems, and he says that when you
put snails into an Enclosure where
there is both light and shade, their
distribution is a matter of chance.
The snail, he says, does not shun
the light 30 much as he hunts for Sc
clusion.
His conclusion is that the snail
does not perceive obstacles in his
uath until he bumps into them; his
speed being low, he escapes injury.
Having once selected resting place,
flashing lights into his apology for
face does not disturb him. If you
put bright object like the head of a
pin or tiny mirror within the
twenty-ffth of an inch from his
so-called eyes he pays no attention.
To complete his experiments, Mr..
Yung amputated the organs of sight
from several snails and couldn't find
that it made any difference in their
happy, if placid, lives.

God is the Supreme Commander.
May we be ready to say:
Sunset and evening star
And one clear call for me,
And may there be no moaning at the bar
When put out to sea.
But such a tide. as moving seems to sleep.
Too full for sound or foam.
When that which drew from out the boundless
deep
Turns again home"
Twilight and evening bell
And after that the dark.
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When embark
For though from out our bourne of time and
place,
The floods may bear me far,
1 hope to meet my Pilot face to face
When have crossed the bar"
