Through leaf and root they suck'd

Eminent Scholar to Retire.

Dr. Basil Lanneau Gildersleeve. who is to retire from Johns Hopkins uni versity at the end of the scholastic year, is, with the exception of Dr. Ira Ramsen, the last man of the orig inal university faculty. His reason for retiring is his age, he having passed the eighty.third milestone. Doc tor Gildersleeve, native of Charles ton, S. C., is recognized as one of two greatest Greek scholars in the world, and has been at work on a Greek Syn tax, said by Greek scholars to be the most wonderful work of its kind ever attempted, and which he has himself said he never expects to live to com pete. His associates in the depart ment of Greek of the university, Dr. c. w. E. Miller and MT Edmund Speik- CT, will probably finish it. Honors con ferred on him by the scientific institu- tions of the world are many, and his treatises on classical languages are in general use in educational circles.

My Smile.

Our smile still holds it's wonted place, due east and west across our face. and sometimes it seems half in clined to reach around and tie behind. We cannot dance, nor can we sing, but we can tote smile, by jing! Sometimes we push it from it's place, but that is when we shave our face, and when we have done shaving, then, our smile is on the job again Worms may kill our tomato plants, hot irons may scorch our Palm Beach pants. laundries may spiflicate our shirts and fix our collar so it hurts, a neighbor' 8 dog may kill our cat. but our smile stays right where it's at. and being such a happy cuss makes the old world smile back at us. Misfortune cannot get your goat if you have got a smile to tote.-Judd Mortimer Lew Is, in Houston Post.

Women's heads sre a great deal smaller than they are measured Beautiful hair, lovely hair. fluffy locks. rebellious tresses hide . multitude of chronological humps that every man should know about before he marries.

We are accustomed to judging man by his whole head, and as his hair Is usually short cropped tolerably cor rect estimate of his character and abilities may be arrived at. Not. so with woman.

It is estimated that there are 15,000 Russian subjects residing in that city, and it is the intention of this paper to meet the needs of these people. One reason for establishing the paper is the difficulty. of receiv- ing Russian papers regularly in Stock holm, owing to the uncertainty of mail deliveries It is also the inten- tion of this paper to devote a large part of its space to commercial inter- ests and attempt to join Scandinavia and Russia more closely in this re- spect It Will be nonpolitieal as far as possible.

 If you listen to the ordinary gossip in an average family you will notice that the children use the same set Of words again and again. They have half a dozen adjectives with which they sprinkle their conversation and they help out their lack of expression by such tags as "Oh, we'll, you know what I mean" or Tt was a sort of what-do-you-call-it" and go on.
 It is a pity to allow such slovenly habits of speech to be formed. Even when the accent and grammar are quite good. the childrn's speech is often very uninterestiny just because of the thoughtless style of expression used

 "Mr. Peak, I have been with you nearly two years and in all that time you have paid me nothing for ny work. I don't ask for much. but you can afford to give ne little spending money every week-iust enough 10 get along on."
 Bill looked at him in sorrow. not to say amaxement How much do you want. Sollyr~ he managed to gasp
