1t is time to get over the idea that
we have to be comfortable because
we were brought up that way, while
others were predeStined to misery
and are so hardened to their condi-
ton that we needn't bother. One eff
feet of travel--if the traveller is i'm
questionable, and some travellers are
not-is to show us that no country
has monopoly of certain homely
virtues that take root and flourish in
the bleakest, as in the richest soil!
Nor is any other country particular
w interested in our retrospective
studies of how good we are and our
improving Imagination of our great
ness. Boastfulness is a posture as un
lovely for the millions as ii Is for one
Let us give credit to others for pos
sessing some of the qualities we ad
mire so much in Ourselves.-Ex'
change.

Efficient Spending.

The measure of real necessity is
surprisingly small. When one finds the
medium ground between prOdigality
and stinginess he will realize that he
can live there, even though his income
may be moderate. Greater moderation
in many things would leave us a
healthier and happier race, to say
nothing of what it would do for our
bank accounts. Certainly, before buy
ing a thing one should honestly ask
himself whether he needs it. He
should, likewise, give himself an hon
est answer
The second principle of efficient
spending is that when one has honest
~ decided that he needs a thing he
should buy the best he can get. If
one buys at all, it pays to search the
market for an article of high quail
ity. Moreover, he is very apt not to
find an article of high grade unless
he does search the market rather
carefully.

vAssAR GIRLS, WAISTS.

Nearly forty years ago vassar college began to
use the tape and the scale on the young women who
entered it's classic gates" remarks the New York Her
aid, "and It has kept careful record of the changes in
average weights, heights and diameters of waists.
"The Vassar Miscellany News has an article which
shows how the American girl has grown this last gen.
Grafton. In 1ss4-1S90 the freshmen at the Pough-
keepsie college averaged five feet and three inches in
height and 11S pounds in weight and had a waist
measure of 25A inches. The average freshman Of
today is three inches taller and Ga pounds heavier,
and her waist is fve-eighths of an inch bigger around.
"A jumper at conclusions might say that the girls
entering college nowadays are older than the fresh
men of the eighties; but this is not so, as the Vassar
records prove. The average age in the eighties was
Is years and 0 months; now it is 10 years and 2
months, a full year less than the average in 1896.
1.-THE size Of the Vassar freshman's waist has not
increased steadily since 1884. The girls of the late
eighties had fairly good sized waists-25N inches.
That was a period when college girls were very .seri-
Gus and cared little for fashion. Twenty-Five years
ago, in the age of tight lacing, freshman waists be-
gan to recede and by 1905 they had reached the low
est mark on the books-23N inches.
"After that, athletics having over-balanced fash
ions, girls waists grew, and they have grown two and
a quarter inches in the last 10 years. And yet, it
must be remembered, the increase over the waist
measure Of the freshman of the eighties is only FIVE
eighths Of an inch. This is q trife, considering the
great gain in height and weight in the same period"

prise, with its gem-burst of crystals. Hour by hour
they come, huttering down in tanks and phalanxes.
Here they whirl and dance and there they dash and
charge in marvellous bombardment
"In a few moments winter does with snowhakes,
what Il takes nature years to do, in fashioning the
polished facets of quartz or the perfect edges of dia-
monds. But these jewels Of winter are fashioned in
the same laboratory and by much the same process as
the marble mosaics or the tesselated granite Of the
mountains. In the treasure house of winter the mud
dy water of pool and stream Is transformed into
pearls or stars of purest white
"f you ask the secret of winters jewels IT is found
in the crystalizing power of nature, which moved the
mind of Tyndall to reverence and TO awe. Nearly
everyone is familiar with the way sugar. dissolved In
water and subjected to evaporation, yields crystals Of
sugar candy. When chalk is thus treated, 1t becomes
Iceland spar. And by the same token carbon crys-
talking under great pressure becomes sparkling dia-
monds, purchased at a great price, instead Of black
coal-also purchased at a great price.
Every snow furry shows this same transforma-
ton going on in winters laboratory. No drop Of wa
ter from stagnant pool but may be thus TRANSPORTED.
And II one Of these gems is waylaid and examined, 1t
shows a fairy architecture that rivals that of a Gothic
cathedral.
such a winters gem may be a prism capped by a
pyramid. Az any rate it reveals a form common to
its kind and yet a little different. From It's center,
the particles radiate into plates and whorls, or again
into hexagons, r~osettes, trefoils, lace or ferns, wintery
winter crystals have been identified and traced, and
zach is found to contain a jewel within a jewel
"But the wonder deepens as the fairy mathematics
Of winters handiwork is seen. Snowfakes may seem
to fall helter-skelter, but all of them, in various
shapes and sizes, obey a law of skies. Snow stars are
mids, ferns or r~osettes, they conform to law and re-
veal a plan. Within the heart of winters storm there
is locked the might of little things and the majesty
that hedges in an atom or q star"

With the general arrangements CO.

torily disposed of. the officials OF the
new are busy with pipeline
and refinery construction plans.
Marketing of tho refined products,
which generally is conceded to be a

ming Refining company no anxiety.
according TO information given out

With the realization that a mar

duction necessary for the operation
OF a refinery before any serious con
sideration a be given 10 actual CON
struction. the officials OF the com
pany made certain Of these two es.
sentials several weeks ago. Since
that time inquiries have come from
filling stations throughout Wyoming
and adjacent states concerning gaso-
line sales. and certain producers of
crude oil In Salt Creek have made
overtures TO the Wyoming Refining
company in regard to the purchase
of their OIL
Since It is the plan of the company
to build at FIRST only one battery of
crude stills and add others as time
permits and necessity demands. the
present contracted production is suf-
ficient to take are OF this unit with
out further drilling OF the acreage
controlled in Salt Creek. It is un.
derstood that after the dividends are
paid in h preferred stock. the rest
Of the profits accruing from the prod

voted to n building program.
The 4o0-acre trnct of land east of
Casper. which n been purchased by
the Wyoming Refining company. is
OF sufficient size and so advantage

refinery could be built. The prospec-
tive tank farm site. situated across
the Platte river, lends itself admir-
ably to the general plan OF the en-
larged plant. The Burlington and
Northwestern railroads. which with
the Yellowstone highway. border the
refinery site, add much to It's utility
and accessibility.

FAIR ENOUGH.

1t is indicated that Japan would be willing to relin-
quish Shantung if Great Britain will withdraw from
Wei-hai-wei. Unless there are reasons against it not
apparent to the superficial observer, the proposition
would appear to be fair enough. The British conces-
sion is on the Shantung peninsula, side by side with
the territory now occupied by Japan. Why not let
both countries give back the land to the original own
ers? Such an action would effectively clear up one
Pacific sore spot.

NEEDS REVISION.

In view of the large number of corrections made by
prominent men who are interested in alleged facts
stated in Tumulty's story of the career Of Woodrow
Wilson, 1t is evident that the former secretary was
wise in printing it first in serial form. He can make
the correction to his text before it goes into book
form. The university of Tumulty's mistakes may ac-
count for some of the mistakes of Wilson.
