Found Another Excuse.

The other night a young man was
visiting his best girl, and he stayed
on and on until she became very
sleepy indeed. Also she had to
work the next day and thought 1t
time to give him hint that it was
time for him to so home. Finally
she said:
Don't you think you had better
telephone for taxi to go home in?
It's so late now and there have been
several robberios out in this part of
town after midnight"
The young man was visibly
pleased at her suggestion.
'Oh, yes. please DO" he returned.

an hour longer"

SOPHIA.

THE wisest of feminine names is
 ! Sophy, or Sophia, as she should be called properly. It Is perhaps the only name which is closely associated with Divine attributes, since its origin dates back to the dedication of that most gorgeous of Christian temples by which Justinian declared that he had surpassed Solomon. It was called St. Sophia (the holy wisdom of God).
 According to the Preacher" in the Book of Ecclesiasticus, Wisdom Is the mother of fair Love, Hope and holy Fear, and this idea is said to have suggested the allegory of the holy woman with three daughters so called, and in compliment to the newly built church, the niece of Justinian's em- press, afterward wife of his nephew and successor, was called Sophia The name straightway became fashionable among the daughters of the nobility of Greece and was carried, through Slavonians, to Germany.
 History records a Hungarian prin- cess of that name In 919, and an- other, daughter of King Geysa, mar ried MagnuS of Saxony and spread the use of the name throughout Saxony. Denmark is said to have received 1t through this latter princess and has since made it almost a national name. Its vogue with the royalty of Den

The Right Thing at the Right Time

require any refreshments for the eve hing call; but, especially if the young man has expressed his intentions of coming certain night, or if there are to be several callers, plan some light refreshments. In some families 1t is customary to have some sort of light refreshment toward the close of the evening anyway, and then 1t is hos pitable to ask any callers who happen to be present to partake.
 Now, here is something that every young man ought to bear in mind, and that is that his leave-taking should be brief. Having risen to depart. he should show decision of character and boise enough after bidding his hostess and others who may be present good night, to go away at once, but often extremely young men, though they may be willing enough to leave, seem to be quite unable to do this. Of course this dallying is often the fault of those on whom they are calling, who open new topics of conversation just as they are departing, and make it difficult for them to leave at once. This also shows certain lack of social boise.

THEIR ESTIMATES TOO LOW
9roof That Engineers Have Erred in Their Figures Concerning the
 Weight of Crowds

Interesting experiments were made some time ago at Harvard university which seem to demonstrate that en- gineerS usually underestimate the maximum loading caused by dense crowds on bridges, floors and plat forms. Forty men averaging 163 pounds in weight placed in a box six feet square caused an average pres sure of 1S1 pounds to the square foot on the floor.
 An engineer has estimated the weight per square foot of the denSest crowds on the New York elevated rail- ways at only 45 pounds, but since the Harvard experiments the opinion has been expressed that the maximum loading on the elevated cars and plat forms may be nearer 1S1 than 45 pounds. This applies to other close packed crowds.

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
 By C. N. LURE Common Errors in English and How to Avoid Them


THERE is distinct difference in 1 the meaning of these two words, and the distinction should be made by all who desire to speak and write cor rectly. Healthy" means possessing or enjoying health or its effects; as, "a healthy person" or ga healthy condi- tion-" But 'healthful' means promot- ing health, or adding to 1t, or preserv- ing it. Thus, we say that a healthy person Is the product of healthful sur- roundings. "The finances of the coun- try are in healthy condition" 'Healthful living is conducive to length of life"
 A correspondent of newspaper wrote, Are plants in a sleeping room healthyr" It was evident that she meant, Does the presence of plants in a sleeping room affect the health of the occupant of the room?"

Wonderful IeIescope.

The excellence of the big Lick tele- scope. and the steadiness of the air when the conditions are good on Mount Hamilton, are attested by the statement of one authority that double stars, whose components are nearly equal in brightness, can be measured if the distance between them exceeds one-tenth of a second of arc. What this means in accuracy of definition may be understood by remembering the fact that one-tenth of a second Is equal to the apparent diameter of an ordinary pin, viewed by the naked eye at a distance of two miles.

WHEN HE CALLS.

Practice in time becomes second nature. Anon.
 TN A MOTION picture recently pro- \ duced, the charming young actress tmpersonating New York society girl receiving the call of one of her men friends takes the callers hat and coat from him as he enters the hall Now as a matter of fact no girl who knew social usage would do that. Of course. if the man were aged or otherwise too feeble to dispose of them himself, she would Otherwise, if there is no serv- ant at hand to take them from him, the young woman would simply show him where the hatrack was located. A young man caller need not be asked by his hostess to remove his coat If a maid comes to the door he should re- move his coat in the hall after he has taken off his hat and give them to the maid or hang them on the hatrack be- fore going into the reception room or drawing room. If the young woman receives a caller in a sitting room above stairs he should leave his outer things in the downstairs hall before as- cending.
 The American girl should always ex- tend her hand to the young man caller when he calls, if he has asked to see her. It was an old-time courtesy al- ways to say ''Pray be seated" or some thing of that sort, and the young man did not take a seat until he had been so requested. Now, however, we do not stand on such formality. The young man takes seat after his hostess has been seated, but he avoids taking the most comfortable chair in the room.
 The question is often asked by young women as to whether young men should be given refreshments when they call. If they come in the after noon about four or five it is customary in large towns to serve tea, which the hostess dispenses from tea table in the drawing room or living room.
