What the Amendment Does.

This amendment assumes that the
nation will continue to control its cap
ital through Congress and asserts that
the time has come when the people Of
the capital should be represented in
that Congress. The ten miles square"
provision of the Constitution set up a
peculiar political entity, not state,
not a territory. under the exclusive
control of the nation. This amendment
Is supplementary to the ten miles
square provision. 1t says. in effect,
that after century of increase and
development the Americans collected
in the ten-miles square, entitled at all
times to every American right and
privilege consistent with continued ma
tional control of the capital, are now,
or soon will be, entitled to representa-
ton in the national government. 1t en-.
ables Congress to make Americans OF
a community of 100000 people who
now politically are aliens.

Magic of a siphon.

When a pipe shaped like the inverted
letter U. in which the arms are OF
equal length, is filed with water and
each end of the pipe is put into a sepa-
rate vessel full of water "the down
ward pull" or weight of the liquid in
each Of the two arms will balance the
other. and if the water is at the same
level in the two vessels it will remain
at that level i'll both vessels. But If the
level OF the water in one vessel is lower
than in the other, since the two vessels
are connected with a pipe fun Of wa
ter, the water will run down from the
higher level to the lower. This consti-
tutes what is called a siphon. A siphon
itself has no more magic about it than
a pencil has when il falls or than any
other similar phenomenon I'm nature,
yet some Of the siphons manifestations
seem to be not only magical but al
most incredible.-St. Nicholas.

"most Perfee. oda.s

One hundred years ago appeared what
Byron called "the most perfect ode in
the language" THE Burial Of Sir John
Moore" 1t was the Newry Telegraph
which gave to the world this anony-
nous poem Of Rev. Charles Wolfe,
which won for its author but a pOsthu-
nous fame, for not until his death in
1898 was its real authorship made
known, though various had been the
guesses as to the writer. That obscure
curate Of Ballyclog must have felt
proud indeed to find among its putative
authors such poets as Campbell and

STAR OF DELAWARE.

Morning light to night Of thraldom,
Dawn disburser of despair,
Genial with gracious welcome,
Shines the Star of Delaware;
Early voyagers approached her
From the mist of sadder days
With tribute to deliver,
Homage sweet contentment pays.
In the azure of Old Glory,
With effulgence rich and rare,
Shines the beam of dazzling story,
Brilliant Star of Delaware.
Does the splendor of true valor
Emanate from history's page?
Can transcendent glory pallor,
Time heroic deeds Assuage?
Read the story of Macdonough,
Or how Jones the Frolic took,
Glamour words can only shadow,
Much the chronicilist forsook.
In the azure of Old Glory,
All resplendent with its glare,
Shines the theme of drastic story,
Brilliant Star of Delaware.
Star in harmony a cluster,
Each the token of State,
Stripes in folds of waving luster
Faith in union consecrates;
Emblem first unfurled in battle
When at Cooch's Bridge baptized,
that in smoke and rattle
Freedom S glory symbOlized.
In the azure of Old Glory,
The first star emblazoned there,
First to tell the statehood story,
Shines the Star of Delaware.
acred trust within its keeping
Shields the Star that shines today
While through maze the future stepping
Rays of promise find their way;
light to Tighten with refinement
Lives of thousands YET to be
nd to gladden. with contentment
Homes enshrined in liberty.
In the azure of Old Glory,
While bright star-lit tidings fare,
Ever flash the same glad story,
Brilliant Star of Delaware.

Effective Danger Sign.

A contractor who has observed that
pedestrians pay little attention to signs
has evolved new plan to guard against
accidents to innocent bystanders." A
steam shovel working many feet below
the surface of the street attracts scores
Of persons daily. They stop, lean over
the board railing around the excava-
ton and stare. Sometimes the crowd
gets so large that there is danger of the
railing giving way and plunging them
into the excavation. Danger" signs
don't worry them; hence the new idea
of the contractor. He has smeared the
top Of the railing with tar and grease.
Now persons who never shudder at the
danger" sign flee from the grease
menace as If it were poison.-Philadel-
phia North American.

TULLE RUFFs.
Modish Ways o. Wearing This
PerishabIs Beauty Evenings.

The most formal Of dress accessories
Is tulle neck ruff. Such belonging
should never be donned with an uncon-
ventional costume or with frock or
suit obviously intended for morning
wear and making no pretension to for
NAL elegance.
If this be true of the tulle neck ruff,
how much more is it true of the tulle
muif! No woman would dream of car
rying one of these airy trifles, the very
essence of festivity and elegance, with
tailored serge shopping suit. Yet
one sees the tulle ruff disporting it.
self with all manner Of street cos
tumes-with sport clothes, with cotton
frocks for the morning and even, alb
surd though it may seem, with the
raincoat. The truth Is 1t is hard to
resist the temptation of tulle ruff
once its flattering qualities have been
discovered. One looks so exceedingly
well in it, ones complexion so much
fairer and softer, and the fluffy plait-
ings of it hide all the unpleasant little
lines behind the ears and under the
chin.
A black tulle neck ruff should not
be worn unless there Is some other
note of black in the costume. With a
gray and white costume, or gray and
black one, or black and white one
the black tulle ruff is very smart, but
with a costume in color the taupe or
smoke toned tulle ruff is much more
harmonious. Sometimes with dark
blue taflleur black tulle ruff looks
well, provided the hat, veil and boots
are black Also The black ruff is sell
dom as becoming to the complexion
as the taupe or gray ruff, though 1t
may make up In chic-with black
and white toilet-for any hardness Of
outline it gives to the face.
White tulle below the face is almost
always becoming. except when skin,
hair and eyes are Of the swarthy bru-
nette type. The white tulle ruff is.
however, a very perishable affair. One
or two wearings will usually despoil
1t Of the dainty freshness such an &C.
cessory should have, and these ruffs
are prettiest for the evening, with light
colored and very dressy costumes. A
black and white checked tailleur is
well set off by white gloves, white and
black hat. white tulle ruff and boots
Of white washable kid, but the same
tailleur will look equally smart with a
black hat. white gloves stitched with
black. black tulle ruff and buttoned
boots of black glazed kid. Another
telling touch with such costume will
be lorgnette ribbon Of narrow black
edged with white. There is infinite
style value in these little touches, and
they should be carefully studied by the
woman who desires to be smartly
turned out In every detail.
