Livening Things Up

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat. Miss Charlotte Van Cortlandt Nicoll recently gave In the surA off Long Branch a bathing tea party, man servant wading out with a boat-shaped floating tea table, perfectly appoint de, whereupon Miss Nicoll and her 1 friends. in five feet of water. partook of buttered toast, caravan tea, mullins, scones and cakes.
 Congratulated upon this novel party, Miss Nicoll. who is a sister of De Lancey Nicol1 smiled and said:
 q believe in the hostess who is re- sourceful--the hostess of Mrs. .Blanc's type.
 Mrs. Blanc was giving tea party on her yacht The affair. for some req son, was dragging dreadfully. The guests talked of nothing but the weather, and even in this talk there would come long, deahtly silOces.
 suddenly Mrs. Blanc, losing her bal ance, fell heavily against her mother in-law. who sat beside the low rail, and with a moaning cry the dear old lady went headforemost overheard.
 "Of course. she was rescued; but afterward MT. Blanc took Mrs Blanc privately to task.
 " How clumsy you were he said. to knock mother into the water like that. I'm afraid she won't care to visit us again in hurry You really should be more careful

instant shot off the Iceberg and into the sea- bow on She shipped a heavy sea as a result of plunging her nose beneath the surface, but quickly righted. and after stumbling over her anchor chain and tug ging viciously to get away settled down to her original state of tranquility, to al appearances unhurt.
 Some years ago, while French nnn-of- war was lying at anchor in Temple bay number of the younger officers con- ceived theo idea of amusing themselves with an iteberg a mile or so distant In the straits. They decided to have Q luncheon party at the very top of 1t.
 It was a bright summer morning, and the jolly boat with flag went off to the berg. By 12 o'clock the colors were fly lee, and the midshipmen were reveling thereon For two hours of more they hacked and camored over it. They frolicked and they feasted, laughing at the idea of danger at this solid ice. When, like thoughtless children, the young men played themselves weary, they descended 10 their coclte-shell of boat and rowed away.
 As if time and distance had been meas ured for the very purpose of permitting the young men to view the scene in safe ty,- the great berg lay silent until the boat was certain distance off. Then, as if It's heart had been volcanic fire it burst with awful thunder and 6lled the srir- rounding water with It's ruins. Awed and subdued by the scene of destruction, and thrilled at their narrow escape from death, the picnickers returned to their ship. It was their first and last day of amusement with an iceberg.

War With England

From the London Globe of July IS, 1872.
 have to advise you that pilot boat has arrived here today from New York. which 1t left on June g. bringing ac- counts that the Senate. after deliberating seven days. had come to the resolution of declaring war against Great Britain. An express had arrived at New York Co Maj. Bloomfield. which he read as the head of his army, formally announcing that the United States had declared war against Great Britain.
 think it proper to- add. however. that tho houses in New York which dispatchel the riiot boat with this information. for the purpose of making speculations in produce. expressly ordered that should tie orders of the council be revoked their friends here GLiyerpooD were on no ac- count to make any purchases for them. This is proof that this declaration of war will be respected. on the arrival of the Gazette containing the revocation of the orders in council.

The best principals should be assigned to night schools and they should be stimulated by their supervisors to do everything in their power to develop originality and fine team work among the teachers
 Tn order to make sure that the city Is not investing money which will not be used.~ every student should be re- quired to make a deposit of s1 dur ing the first month; this dollar to be returned to those who attend regu- lariy at the end of the school year. Tn New York city night school even in a discouragi gingly illiterate neighbor- hood. will have on its register from 300 to 400 students. or this number probably about 100 will be foreigners studying English. These classes in English are of great importance to the men. to their employers, and tos the country. The men must have some knowledge of English in order to be promoted as foremen and In order to understand American customs and laws. In many cases their teachers are the first really fne Americans that they come to know.
 The teaching of English to foreign CTS as form of patriotic service is Just beginning to pc recognized. ClaSSes for the teaching of English could well be smaller than they are and the teachers should be encouraged to adopt the best methods of instruction. New textbooks are being constantly pub lished and are in great demand.

 The answer to every question that has arisen so far fin America has been more education. Now as we face the great industrial problems of today we see that they will never be solved until every citizen demands that to each boy and girl and to each man and woman shall be given sufficient education to develop all his powers of both mind and body.

Stage Officer in a Hero Role

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 "ofricer Phelan" was on duty in Jack son park few days ago. and to this fact Miss Mildred Ermel, ls years old, owes her life. Despondent because of disappointment in. love, the girl leaped from the south bridge leading to Wooded Island. in the park and was near death when the pseudo officer rescued her.
 Joseph A. Allen. who takes the part of Officer Phelan in the play. "Officer 666. was on his way to take part in the city golf tournament with Mrs. Allen, when they discovered the girl in the water Allen hastened to the edge. pulling of his coat as he ran and kept one eye on the sinking girl.
 By the time she disappeared under tn. surface the last time he had torn off his heavy golf shoes Plunging from the high bank he swam to where the little ripples still told where she went down. Diving under, he caught the girl. and after considerable effort. dragged her up on the grass She was unconscious and unable to resist.

ters and work with the committee shoulder to shoulder. Their special work will be enlisting women in the campaign, and particularly getting>suf- frage workers out to spellbind for the progressives.
 Joy reigns throughout the suffrag cite camps throughout the country. The leaders are enthusiastic over the pres ent situation, and while they admit the election of any presidential candidate they support will not result in equal suffrage throughout the country, they claim that the recognition of the move ment by the big political parties will have a strong moral effect on hasten Ing the constitutional amendments in the various states throughout the union providing for equal suffrage
 The attitude of the National Ameri- can Woman Suffrage association in the coming campaign will be strictly non partisan, according to the Woman's Journal, the official organ of. the or ganization. It claims that the associa- tion will work for no man or no party at the polls. but will try to defeat its enemies. Thus, the friendly attitude of the party leaders.
 Despite this declaration of the nat ional organization many of its most prominent members are openly work Ing for the 'bull moose" party, attract | ed, no doubt, by the woman suffrage plank. Miss Jane Addams, one of the pioneers in this organization, seconded Colonel Roosevelt's nomination at the convention of the progressive party in Chicago.
 Besides the six states which have already granted equal suffrage, there are four states In which this question will be submitted to the voters in the fall election, namely, oregon Kansas. Michigan and Wisconsin. On Septem- Der 8, Ohio will decide this question when it votes on the adoption of it's new constitutions.

TIME WHEN KINGS
 ARE NOT KINGS Sub-Titles of MOnarchs While Traveling-Many
 Varied Names
From the London Answers.

From the London Answers.
 Every modern king or prince has sev- erai inferior tities-the Emperor of Aus tria has over '17-that are usually of no use to him. It is when he wishes to travel, and does not desire to be bothered with state ceremonies on his way, that lie finds these cities convenient. The Prince of Wales. who recently enjoyed a long stay in Paris under the title of the Earl of Chester. employed the best known of the various incognitos used by successive Princes of Wales. Ills grandfather the late King Edward, passed at different times. when Prince of Wales, as the Duke Of Cornwall. the Earl of Chester the Earl of Carrick and Lord Renfrew, the title he used when he visited America.
 Such widely known incognitos are not meant to hide the identity of their own CTS. They are simply an indication that the bearer wants to be spared the paying and receiving of ceremonious visits. But at times royalty really wishes to pass un- known. The present Queen of Norway when Princess Charles of Denmark. used to go for long tours on the continent, &C., companied solely by her governess. Hotel books knew her not at all. Queen Alex andra, too, Is said to have more than once visited Paris under the name of Mrs. Stephens.
 The journalistic photographers and press men particularly annoyed that un- conventional and witty monarch. Kirg Alfonso, when he was staying in Paris under the incognito of Marquis cava- donga One morning the following typed message reached the chief news agencies fin Paris: If the men of the press pes- sist in shadowing the Marquis cavadonga, as though he were a suspected assassin, they must not be surprised when a nat ural eonsequence follows" The message was marked Private and was kept out of the newspapers, but all journalistic and diplomatic Paris chucked at the vision of a persistent reporter falling martyr beneath the blade of badgered king. The message however had the eff feet intended.

washington. D. C.. Aug. 24.-Woman, lovely woman, is fast gaining political recognition with mere man." The com ing campaign will witness the unpre- oedented spectacle of the three leading presidential candidates making an car nest plea for female votes. While the progressive party is the only one that has incorporated a plank for woman suffrage in fits platform. both the re- publican and democratic leaders are establishing national organizations with women at their head for the pur- pose of attracting the female vote in the six states that have already grant, ed equal suffrage. and for the moral effect 1t may have upon the male voters in other states. wfAre this question has become a burning issue.
 The voter will not only be treated to the unusual spectacle of an ex-presi- dent trying for third term at the head of a new party, but will have the pleas ure of seeing and hearing female spell binders who will stump the country in support of their favorite candidates.
 Colorado, California, Idaho, Utah, Washington and Wyoming are the six states in the union that have already given women the right to vote, and it is estimated that there are 80o,0o0 fe- male voters in these states. So formid- able a number has to be reckoned with even by a presidential candidate. When Colonel Roosevelt swept the state of California in the presidential primaries last spring, the female vote it was claimed was responsible for his enor- nous majority. The states above men tioned have 65 votes out of a total of 531 in the electoral college.
 Active work has already been begun by the various presidential candidates

REMARKABLE LAKE
 IN THE MOUNTAINS
W'aterspouts and Immense Waves Make Beautiful
 @bsgg Sights
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 High up in the mountains of the Sierra Nevada is Lake Tahoe, bounded by high peaks that throw silver shadows of their eternal snows upon the deep blue water. Great mountain chasms open upon tha lake. and the force of the wind is often so great that the water is as wild as that of the ocean.
 One day when aAgeneral snow and rain- storm was brewing, some miners were privileged to witness grand and remark able spectacle. Tho day was windy and the lake rather rough. but a number of persons concluded to go to the long wood- en end of the pier to try their luck at fishing. They had not been long at the end of the pier before their attention was attracted by a great roaring Looking across the lake they saw a cyclone ap- preaching. Before the hurricane came a long, unbroken wave about 15 feet in height.
 Knowing that thls would sweep the whole line of the pier. all beat Q hasty retreat to the shore When at safe dis tance the party turned to gaze upon the incoming wall of water. While thus gag ing they were startled by a tremendous roaring to the northward, and a moment after a cyclone from that direction also struck the lake. This sent before 1t a huge wave that had soon attained the height of that coming from the south ward.
 In a few minutes the two waves came together. When they struck q column of water and spray was sent into the air to the height of at least 100 feet. The collision of the two waves was followed by a report that sounded like heavy clap of thunder. A moment after this grand shock of water five or six huge waterspouts made their appearance, all within an area of three or four miles, and carried great columns of water and spray to the height of several hundred feet These circled to and fro over the lake for some 10 or 15 minutes and then one after the other subsided. and for time thers was almost dead calm.
 Waterspouts are very frequently seen on the lake Tn the autumn. owing to the peculiar situation of this body of water under the crest of the main ridge of the Sierra Nevada range. When a fierce gale from the west crosses the ridge 1t plunges down the great canyons and thus are brought to bear upon the lake conflicting currents of air When a hurricane is blowing from the west immense volumes of air appear to be damned up and com pressed behind the ridge of the Slerras. which at times escape and come over and down the gorges in tremendous puffs Many westerners aver that no navigator of the ocean sees half as many water spouts in a three years voyage as are seen by persons residing at Lake Tamos in a single season.

Hawkeyes Are Expert Shots

Albert 8. Jones in Harper's Weekly.
 For the second consecutive year the Astor cup for the intercollegiate rifle shooting championship of the United States has been won by the rife team representing the Iowa City High school In doing this they also have the glory of making score which surpasses all previous interscholastic and intercollegiate rife shooting records.
 The five boys composing the team which won, firing 10 shots standing and 10 shots prone at 50 feet with .22 caliber rifles at a target having . half inch buliseye, made the phenomenal score of o60 of . possible 1oo. This Is eight points better than the previous scholastic record and seven points better than the collegiate record.
 In making this score the lads placed s2 of the 10a. shots within space the size of a 10 cent piece. and all the shots fired. with the exception of two, would have hit 25 cent piece.
 The Secretary of War. on hearing of this phenomenal shooting, sent the follow inE telegram to the principal of the school: f"Congratuations to the rifle team of your school in winning the interseholastic rifle shooting championship of the United States for 1912 with a record score.
 Your work represents high class of patriotism and deserves the einrlation e every high school in the land"
 There were eighteen schools In the com petition, which extended from Portland, Me. to Los Angeles. Cal.
 The second highest team In the compe- tition was the Deering High school of Portland, Me. who made the very excel lent score of ss2. The third team was the St. Johns Military academy of Dela- field. Wis. with 937, and the fourth team the Morris High school of New York city. with 93l
 A melancholy feature of tho competi- ton was the fact that the cup that was Icing competed for was presented by the late Col John Jacob Astor.

Suicidal Habit of Butterflies n, tho opdop Standard

D
 Considerable interes. attaches to mi grafton of butterflies to this country from the continent which recently took place. The migration in question consisted chief ly of the pretty "Clonded Yellow and the well known Painted Lady" The extra ordinary part of the story is this, uhat none of either species will ever get through the British winter. All true Brit ish brtterfies sleep from October to March, either as eggs, caterpilars, pupae or butterflies, but the Painted Lady and Cloudee Yellow perish. It has been sug- rested that they migrate back again to France, but the necessity of waiting for a north wind and the fate that such a wind in october is invariably too cold casts some doubt upon this theory. The Red Admiral is another victim to suicidal migration.

 tions is being rapidly conducted. Gov
 ernor Wilson's three daughters and
 Mrs Thomas Gore, wife of the senator
 from Oklahoma, are few of the other prominent women connected with the democratic campaign.
 The republican organization, not to be outdone, has announced the appoint
 ment of Miss Helen Boswell. of New
 York, as chairman of the Women's s Lea gue for the sre- election of President
 Taft. a woman's auxiliary organization to work for the republican organization in the equal suffrage states. Miss Bos- we'll is president of the National Wo-
 ens~republican organizations The re- publicans, however, have received q slight setback, owing to the refusal of
 Miss Mabel Boardman to act as head Of the advisory committee. Miss Board : man. who is a close friend of the Tart family. has decided not to enter into the campaign owing to her position as head of the American Red Cross SO ciety.
