1t is discovered that women this
past year have invaded the Phi Beta
Kappa society, high citadel of learn
ing, in equal numbers with men. Suf-
~ficiently dark was the hour when, in
1875, it was granted women attaining
equal scholarship to be admitted at all.
But how much worse today when
next years report may show as many
as half a dozen female in excess of
male membersl The whole trend here
would seem to ignore the fundamental
differences between the minds of the
sexes. We may even be forced to
abandon that picturesque phrase, 1.-THE
feminine intellect" The time is ripe
for q stand, and this Rev. Oscar Vor-
hees, secretary of the fraternity has
just taken with a Canute-like gesture
at the national conference. Earnestly
he recommends that annual admission

Roumanian Music.

At the Paris exposition of 1900 there
was great rivalry between the Hun
garian and ROumanian orchestras. The
Hungarian gipsies came in bands there
several times to entertain the idle
Parisians. But the ROumanians were
a novelty. The Roumanians played the
popular airs of their country on their
flutes and clarinets, airs moving and
tender. They also played, as did their
rivals from beyond the mountains, the
violin and the cobZa, a kind of guitar
with ten strings which took the place
of the cymbal of the gypsy orchestra.
Everyone went to hear the Roumanians
because of their bizarre repertory.
Their national costume was of a strik-
ing character. Their white shirts en-
broldered in many colors, their white
trousers, braided with black, their
short, fringed waistcOats added to their
picturesque appearance. "When the
war is over" says a French journal,
''the patrons of our cafes will substi-
tute the ROumanians for the crisp
haired gipsies."

Hail the Russian Blouse.

A veritable boon for short-waisted
figures are the Russian blouse dresses,
all in one from neck to hip and made
of soft georgette crepe, chiffon cloth
or crepe de chine. The straight Rus
sian blouse falls over a skirt of the
same material and a long glrdle, also
of the soft fabric and weighted with
tassels or passementerie balls, holds
the blouse in against the figure. below
the natural waistline. In very pale
gray, pink or white chiffon, these
dresses are particularly graceful and

CURIOUS ICE COLUMN.
The Transformation That Took Place
In a Bottle Of Water.

The Transformation That Took Place
In Bottle Of Water.
A mother gave an empty cologne
bottle to her little boy to play with
on a cold day in winter The bot
tie was of colorless glass, six inches
high and three inches across at the
bottom. About midway it began to
taper and was about half an inch in
diameter at the top. Toward even
ing the child filed the bottle with
water, inserted a cork and left il on
shelf in the pantry.
In the morning a curious sight
met the mothers eyes. The night
had been cold and the water was
frozen solid. Strange to say, the
bottle was not broken, but out OF
the top rose a column Of ice four
inches tall and exactly correspond
ing in diameter with the mouth Of
the bottle. The column Of ice was
as round, straight and true as lead
pencil. To its summit the cork was
frozen tight. This phenomenon
was viewed BY the whole family. To
account for il the following theory
was suggested.
1t is well known that By a Law Of
nature all substances contract with
cold Water is thus affected until
the freezing point is reached, when
capitalization takes place. The par
ticles Of ice then arrange them
selves in such a manner that there
is expansion instead Of contraction
in the entire bulk-that is to say, a
cubic foot Of water will make more
than cubic foot Of ice.
Putting the case another way, a
pound Of ice takes up more room
than a pound Of water; therefore,
a given bulk Of ice is lighter than
the same bulk Of water. 1t Is be-
cause Of this provision Of nature
that ice floats instead Of sinking.
If the ice should sink to the bottom
Of a lake or stream new ice would
form at the top and sink in its turn,
and so on until the entire body Of |
water became frozen. No summer
heat could thaw it through, and il
may easily be imagined that the re-
suits would be disastrous to man
lind.
The bottle Of water which has
been described was on a shelf near
j window and a little lower than the

these early morning hours only you
can walk with me through my Geth-
semane.
Since I heard that conversation be-
tween Chad and Pat have not been
able to think until now. All through
the night I have been conscious only
that my body was but a receptacle for
one wild wall of agony.
For the last half hour have been
slowly coming back to something
even more horrible than l have yet
gone through. Until then l was not
aware that was living, but now-Oh,
God, l know that am coming back
to life!
Life! My heart grows faint and
can almost feel my breath grow cold
as it passes sObbingly out between
my pain-drawn lips as 1 think of it.
What is that they said?" 1 asked
myself over and over, and the one
great fact always comes uppeTmOst.
Neither of these men-neither Chad
nor Pat-whO are both good men,
who call themselves honorable men,
are concerned with Dicks betraying
my love and trust. They accept that
as a matter of fact and dismiss it
with the remark Dick in human"
Their only concern was that Dick
had made his iaison public.
Sometimes I think, little book,
too might have accepted, this fact,
but it hurts me that l canpOt distin-
guish the false from the real. Even
the gold of my memories must ever
more be furnished with doubt. l can
never be sure l have ever been the
woman for whom Dick hUngered-
never be sure that the hours that /
have treasured were not just bridges
over which he passed from the mo-
notony OF every day to the primrose
paths Of joy and variety.

Two Pairs Of Ideal Senators.
By DIR. K. j. EDWARDS.

Gen. Chester A. Arthur went TO Wash
ington several days before he was inau-
gurated as vice president Of the United
States Through the courtesy Of some
OF his newspaper friends he had oppOr-
tunity to study at his leisure and unob-
served, from a room at the side OF the
reporters gallery. one and another Of
the senators. There were several sena-
tors whom he did not know personally.
but who greatly interested him. One OF
these was Senator Teller OF Colorado.
and his first impression Of that senator
was strengthened after his acquaintance.
In fact so greatly strengthened that Gen.
Arthur, when president not only offered
Senator Teller the post Of secretary OF
the interior, as the successor OF Senator
Kirkwood, who was appointed 10 that
office by President Garfield, but also
urged the Colorado Senator to accept the
Office Senator Teller was returned 10 the
Senate at the expiration OF President
Arthur's term as President
Another Senator to whom Gen. Arthur
was Instantly attracted as he furtively
looked from the reporters gallery was
George G. Vest OF Missouri. Later q
real intimacy was established between
President Arthur and Senator Vest be-
cause they had many congenisl traits in
common. such, for instance, as a fond

Although / occasionally heard PresI-
dent Arthur speak in high terms OF the

terms OF Senator Vest, / did not hear
him describe what he regarded as an ex-
traordinary coincidence associated with
the two Senators from Missouri and the
two Senators from the adjoining State
OF Kansas was. however, told OF a
comment President Arthur made which
was associated with these four Senator's.
He said that il seemed to him remark
able that Missouri should have sent to
the Senate two men. one Of whom made

had sent to the Senate a man who had

except Ingalls,, OF Kansas, an apprecIs-
ton of all that is best in English IIters-
ture and in the classics hs wing wonder
ful command over the English as a me
dunn Of public spsaking-George G.. Vest
These two Senators supplemented nnd
complimented each other, and together
made an ideal representation for any
State in the Senate. That. said Presi-
dent Arthur, was also true of Kansas.
Senator Ingalls, fully matched in mas
terry of English and in appreciation OF
the classics Senator Vest. Of Missouri,
while, on the other hand, Senator Plumb.
so far as patient and constant service
in the Senate for his constituents was
concerned. could be ranked with Sena-
tor Cockrell. The two Senators from
Kansas together made an ideal repre-
sentation for a state in the United
States Senate.
