Denison Girl wins Musical Honors.

A news note reaching this office
from Cornell College tells of recent
honor in music which has come to
Miss Loretta Van Ness of this place.
In competitive try-out for positions
on the girls glee club of Cornell
Miss Van Ness succeeded in winning
one of the much coveted positions in
the 1st alto part. Competition is
strong for these positions, there being
several times more candidates than
the number required for the work of
one of the leading organizations of
the college and it is no slight honor
to win a place against the high grade
competition for positions.

The affair has caused no little ex-
citement in the little town of Arion,
and there is considerable talk on both
sides 1t is to be regretted that the
names of two families are given such
publicity. What will be the action of
the grand jury when it meets in Jan
uary is speculative.
Mr.. Galland is young man twenty
years of age and has always enjoyed
an excellent reputation. He has been
employed by the Northwestern Rail
way company for some time and has
the respect of all with whom he came

The Belgians have just founded a
company whose originality will be
hard to beat. This is the Umbrella
Lending society.
The company has capital of sew

umbrellas and its object is to save
people from the trouble of buying
and carrying these occasionally useful
but cumbersome articles about when
not in actual employ.
Subscribers pay 81 year, and are
given an aluminium counter with a
number. 1t is much easier evidently
to carry a counter than an umbrella.

Dickens in Australia.

It is said that when Scotsman
leaves old Scotia to make his home in
some other land he solaces his exile
with the Book of Robert Burns poems,
and that the Scot abroad comes to be
even better versed in the rhymes OF
the peasant poet than the Scot who
has remained at home. 1t has been
remarked that the same is true as
regards the Englishnan and Charles
Dickens. w. M. Hughes, acting prime
minister of Australia. goes further
than this and asserts that Dickens
had an important influence on Austria
liam democracy. and through men who
read him and loved. him, men lmbibed
his hatred OF shams' and humbugs. who
wanted freer and better conditions
TO have some other place TO look TO
than the workhouse, had made Austria

Murray asked Captain Prince how he
contrived to keep his course. in the
face of the northeast monsoon, by
mere dead reckoning, without the use
of lunars. 1t was a common notion at
that time among British seamen that
the Americans did not know how to
work lunar observations.
Captain Prince told Mr.. Murray
that he had a crew of twelve men.
every one of whom could take and
work lunar observation as well, for
all practical purposes, as old Sir
Isaac Newton himself. Murray was
perfectly astounded at this. and actu-

one Sunday morning to see this know

To quote again from Mr.. Young:
Captain Prince says that one day
the supercargo said to him, Come,
captain, let us go forward and see
what the sailors are talking about,

went forward accordingly, and the
captain was surprised to find the
sailors, instead OF spinning their long
yarns, earnestly engaged with book,
slate and pencil, and discussing the
high matters of tangents and secants,
altitude. dip ard refraction. Two of
them in particular were disputing
very zealously. One of them called

Buying cloth costumes at a sale
is an art. One needs to go about 1t

But, as has been indicated, there

nor extreme, but merely OF distinc-
lively cold weather materials, which
are marked low.
In the one-piece frocks for after
noon wear there are many pretty de-
signs, both Silk and cloth, though
velvet plays a conspicuous role. A
velvet frock, which is to be worn un-
der a fur coat. should be selected with
a bodice almost entirely Of sheer ma
