FIT MATE FOR GREAT MAN
Wife Of President Monroe Famous o.,
TN TWO Continents for Her DipIo-
+ macy and Tact.

Elizabeth Kortright, wife of James
Monroe, fifth President of the United
States, and Trainer of the Monroe doc
trine, was in every way suited for the
position of Madame President. Digni-
fed, almost courtly, well educated and
accustomed to the society Of states
men, Elizabeth Kortright, when she
married MIR. Monroe in 1855, was ade-
quately prepared to assume the re-
sponsibillty of her high estate.
In 1894, when her husband was sent
as United States minister to France,
Mrs. Monroe accompanied him on this
most important and delicate mission,
and acquitted herself with all the
grace and tact that such a situation
demanded. Again in 1903, when Mr..
Monroe was once more sent to Paris
as the American representative and
consummated the Louisiana purchase,
his wife made her gracious and intlu-
entail presence felt in many ways.
And she had power, too, as is testi-
fed to by her intercession in the cause
of Madame de Lafayette, who was
incarcerated in the prison of La Force,
hourly awaiting execution. Mrs. Mon
roe, through her tact and diplomacy,
was able to effect the release Of the
distinguished Frenchwoman.

Secret Gold Field,

There Is no doubt that there Is gold
in the Soudan, and the French gov
eminent is taking steps to get 1T out.
Concessions are being given to com
panies which will cnleavor to operate
gold mines in that country, and the
natives will be rewarded for revealing
the places where nuggets have been
found. Twenty years ago some ma
tives brought i'll a GO-pound rock,
which was found to be 80 per cent
gold, and recently there have been
found Il number Of smaller nuggets
which we're almost as rich. The Sou
danese fields are ut present very diff
cult to reach, but the announced fact
that colonial railroad project Is to
be completed in few years makes
the outlook very hopeful, and the pre-
diction is made by some that the Sou
dan will some day Outrival the klon-
dixie. Heretofore the natives have
been clever enough to guard as Sc
cret the source Of their gold findings.

ORIGIN of :. lunar Features.

Mr.. Walter. Gootlacre discussing the
photographs Of the moon taken at
Mount Wilson with the Hooker telc-
scope, says tliat. the hypothesis u.s.
crihing the formation Of lunar .craters
to the impact Of metcurs is now gen-
orally dscrcditcd, but il additional
arguments against it were necessary
they would be found in a careful
study Of the ,super, photographs above
mentioned. He states that a con-
sideration of the fine detail found in
these pictures, especially in relation
to the many crater chains and clefts,
suggests that their existence can only
be accounted for ON the suppositiOn
that they are ,ine to volcanic agency
in the early days OF the moons history.

1 This is not plea for the return OF
the dime novel. In fact, we fear that
the dime novel can never come back !;
they don't sell anything for a dime
any more. All in all, however, the
only thing about the dime novel that
was as bad as it was painted was the

supposed to be bad. Sometimes it
was rough stuff, but at that it was
rarely that more than one throat a
day was cut or more than pint Of

As we remember the dime novel, we

Concerning the Brain.

Whether a persons brain becomes
larger after intellectual development
is still disputed question. Smith Ely
Jeliffe an authority on the subject,
says: weight of brain, however, has
no direct relationship with intelll-
gence as idiots brains are known to
have weighed just as much as those
of the ablest men. intellectual Ca
pacity consists in the great multi
plicity of nerve cell connections. While
it is true that a number Of celebrated
men Of recognized brain power have
had large brains, there are many more
Of equal capacity whose brain weights
have not been remarkable" -,

Care OF Paintings.

The pictures-in home are apt to
suffer from the lack Of attention which
in time detracts from their appearance.
Oil paintings should be lightly cleaned
once year, being wiped gently with a
very fine sponge or channels leather
wet with clear water. Do not use
soap or any other cleansing substance
in the water Immediately after spong-
ing polish the surface lightly with. a
dry silk handkerchief. Gilt frames
should be busted frequently. A camel's
hair paintbrush is effective for this.
Fly marks can be removed By the use
Of a little white Of egg. T.. -..>..

Spring Shrubs Blooming in Fall.

81 The fall blooming Of trees and
Shrubs which ordinarily bloom only in
the spring, is not an uncommon oc-
currence. However. it is only after
rather unusual growing seasonal con-
tlitions that much of it is noted. 1t
is most apt to occur after dry sum-
-mer followed by fall rains and favor
able growing conditions during Sep
TENDER and October, or perhaps after
trees have been defoliated early in
the season by insects or disease at
tacks. Then they start new growth
in the late summer or early fall.
Usually it weakens the trees or shrubs
somewhat, and they do not produce
quite so much bloom the following
spring. r.. Gardner, Professor Of
Horticulture, University Of Missouri.
