THE MID-SEA SUN.
Ml »eak to hide his splendor, till the day
Has passed away;
dial shade of any tree or flower
To mark the hour;
A wave his orient cradle, and a wave
His western Krave.
—John B. Tabb In Harper's Magazine.
Ever since the eventful day in
Maris Niccoli’s life when a purse lay
at her feet, as if in answer to her
crippled sister's cry, "to bring her
home a pair of red slippers,’’ Mar
garet Norton, the owner of the lost
property, was always called by Marie
"The Beautiful Lady.”
It is not strange the little sister
looked upon her as her good fairy;
for at the command of their bene
factress the child was wafted to a
sunny room in the hoopilal where
a canary bird in his gilded aags made
the hours glad with his song, and
caused her to forget, at times, aching
limbs and spine. For, in spite of the
best medical skill, the road to recov
ery promised to be long and tedious;
and, when Miss Norton reported to
Marie the result of the consultation
with the surgeons, she said, "How
should you like to live with me for
a while,—do my errands, dust a
little, and”—■.
"Be your maid?” gasped Marie, as
if such bliss were too great to men
tion lightly.
"Why, yes, perhaps; but I think
I should rather call you my conpan-
ion. And now let us talk about school.
It does not seem quite the thing for
you not to go to school any more, do
you think so?”
"I’ve been to night school since
Anita went to the hospital, but Mr.
Morse asked the other evening if I
couldn’t go daytimes; I guess I look
ed stupid and sleepy.”
"Oh, don’t say that! Of course you
must be tired after your long day
at the dress maker’s. By the way, I
want to tell you of the talk I had
with Miss LaMonde yesterday. She
has agreed to lend you to me for a
little rest and change. She tells me
and I can teach music, and pay her
back a little of all we owe her!”
“Poor child, music lessons! How lit
tle she realizes what that means!”
Miss Bartholdi was wise enough to
make only mental comments, and
and waited for the first outburst of
excitement to be over, then, taking
the girl’shand in hers said: “I have
something in my mind that may work
out all right for you. Just be patient
one more day, and I will report if
there is a ray of encouragement”
Only the previous day while she was
giving Marie her lesson, two gentle
men stood close to the portiere and
listened from their safe hiding place
to the bird-like freshness of the voice.
•WHY CHILDREN ARE SELFISH.
Compare the children of long ago
with those of today. As a rule the
former were brought up much more
strictly than those of the present day,
and with due regard for their elders.
While the change to present cus-
One of the audience reported most en- toms is, on the whole, better, as it
thusiastically to Miss Bartholdi, later favors more intimate intercourse be-

he just could not wait for her to fin
ish, but whispered, ’Tell me her name,’
and, when I talked with him after you
had left the studio he said: ’Niccoll?
Niccoli? My mother had a brother
who went to America somewhere—
that’s her family name; but it's just
a coincidence probably!’ XTid Signor
Monaldi turned to Marie's teacher with
a very wise expression, and murmured
as a final word, "It may be a good
plan to have the young lady meet
Signor Buonetti!”
What wonder that the words had
been constantly in her mind; and,
acting upon the adage that two heads
are better than one, a conference with
him resulted in an invitation for them
to escort Marie to the studio of Sig
nor Buonetti.
When the latter heard the name of
Marie's father, Giovanni Niccoli, he
took her hands in his„and said: “You
are my own cousin, the only one left
of my family; and I must not let such
a sweet girl slip away away from
Italy, the land of the prima donna!
Now, Miss Bartholdi, will you cable
Miss Norton, at my expense, that her
ward has found an Italian cousin over
here, and ask her to take passage in
the next steamer, with Anita and any
papers she has in regard to the two?”
Signor Monaldi could scarcely re
strain himself, but made a great ef
fort to be calm until they had left
the studio far behind, when he said:
"That man. Miss Bartholdi, is im
mensely rich! He has only one hob
by; he is a great collector of val
uable paintings and gems.” Then,
how willing j’ou always are to do turning to Marie, v he added, with true
whatever she wishes.”
Marie’s long lashes hid her eyes; but
Miss Norton saw her choke back a
sob, and she hastened to say: "I want
you right away, for you know there
Italian warmth of feeling, “Now, Miss,
your art can be made perfect; the fu
ture looks roey!”
Upon receipt of the cable, Margaret
Norton and Anita felt as if their good

yet in many cases there is danger of
going too far in the opposite direc
tion and raising impertinent and sel
fish children, who consider themselves
the most important members of the
household.
Children allowed to grow up selfish
are apt to be lacking in respect to
their parents. Such children uninten
tionally form a habit of considering
themselves first and complacently al
low father and mother to sacrifice
time and comfort for their advantages,
says the_ Portland Evening Express.
Loving mothers do greatest harm
in this respect, for they really de
light in self-sacrifice for their darl
ings, A boy that such a one raises,
unless a striking exception, will grow
up selfish, and be always a trial to
those nearest and dearest to him.
Habits of selfishness and self-sacri
fice grow rapidly, and a father can
do much_ to check this state of affairs
if he keeps watch. A word of admoni
tion now and then which will draw
children's attention to services that
they can render their mother will
cause them to consider her.
By these observations she will be
placed on the pinnacle of family love
and honor, which is the most joyful
position a woman can enjoy.
Besides eradicating selfishness, this
thoughtfulness benefits the family in
another very important way. Such
children acquire a polish and refine
ment of manner which is habitual
rather than "company politeness,"
which is ever expressed so grace
fully.
Those who grow up accustomed to
think of others have a charm which
wins more love than any superficial at
tributes.

over,’ as the children say.
Truly a new page was turned
in the life of the two children of the
tenement; and while it might be easy
to imagine something more hilarious
than spending Christmas in a hospit
al, the change from a dreary room
where even the sunlight dreaded to
enter, to the Broad Street Sanatorium,
with sun parlors on every floor, seem
ed to Anita like transporting to heav
en.
Meanwhile the older girl responded
like a new flower to her new atmost-
phere of loving care, and one day
while dusting the reception room, her
voice broke forth into such a burst
of melody that Marie’s beautiful lady
‘WWU! bimib, and listened to “the
strains, suggestive of sunny Italy
even in their lack of training.
It was a simple street song; but
the voice hinted of great possibilities,
and Miss Norton called Marie to her,
and said: "If you will do your best
at school, and the teachers are sat
isfied with your work, I'll teach you to
play on the piano, and my friend Miss
Bartholdi will give you singing les
sons. How does that scaind.
“But Anita—you know I want to
take care of her, and I mustn’t use
so much time! I can’t take every
thing from you!”
The last words sounded like a wail
as Marie slipped to the floor, buried
her head in her hands, and sobbed as
her beautiful lady had never before
heard her. "Per-haps you’ll be sor-ry
some day—that you’ve been so good
to me!” she stammered.
“Why, who on earth has put that
idea into your head? Has some one
been saying disagreeable things to
you?”
All questioning was useless, but
Margaret Norton was very good at
guessing. "Ah,” she exclaimed, *T
rather think that silly Janey has been
disturbing you, she is so jealous! But
now listen, dearie; it takes two to
make a bargain, and you and I are
the two! Why, child, what should I
do in this lonely house without a
young girl to keep me company? Who
would brush my hair every night, and
tell me how Molly and that polly
Fritz recite their lessons, while I
laugh away my blues? Who, dear, but
just you? It’s our little secret; and,
when Anita is discharged from the
hospital, she shall come here, and
you and I will teach her all we know.”
The magic wand was again waved
and peace restored. Marie proved
most tractable and found a sympa
thetic audience when she confided to
her beautiful lady that she just hated
geometry, and did not see the use of
proving one lino was longer than the
other when her own eyes told her—
an argument that Miss Norton had of
ten heard.
In the midst of discouragements
several red-letter days stood out prom
inently—when Marie began French
and Italian; the April morning that
Anita left the hospital, able to walk
like other people; and the sweet June
day when her beautiful lady was the
first to congratulate her upon graduat
ing the third in her class, and to tell
her that it was decided that she was to
go to Italy in September with Miss
Bartholdi.
"But you—oh. I do so want to learn
to sing! But how can I leave Anita
and. you?” The young girl put her
arms around Miss Norton in spite of
the warning "not to crush her lace,”
and said such pretty words to her, it
would have been perplexing to deter
mine which cheeks were the brighter.
Marie felt as if under some wizard's
spell when she found herself one Oc
tober morning in the presence of Sig
nor Monaldi, the famous teacher, who
saw great possibilities in the sweet
voice from over the sea, and arranged
a most arduous program for Miss
Bartholdi to follow.
Just as the future looked most
bright, there came a letter to her
teacher that dashed Marie's hopes in
an instant. Rumors of great treach
ery on the part of Miss Norton’s bus
iness advisor threatened utter financial
ruin. Marie grasped the situation, and
said: "There is Just one step for me
to take! I must go hack to her.

troubles, and the delicate face of
Marie’s sister, with its pink flush of
delight, reminded one of the dainty
arbutus, as they took passage upon
the great ocean steamer that looked
like a palace to one of the travellers.
What followed seemed, indeed, like
a chapter from real fairyland. Miss
Bartholdi removed to another apart
ment; and Margaret, Marie, and Anita
set up a modest establishment which
promised to be permanent. At the
first moment, however, that Signor
Buonetti ’saw Marie’s beautiful lady,
he appreciated the fact that she was
a rare gem, and his heart went out
to her even as Margaret’s found Marie.
When in course of time Marie realized
that through her had come the great
est happiness her beautiful lady had
ever imagined, the latter said: "You

first appearance before a critical musi

on the other side the dates 1898-1905,
following the letters M. B. L. which
stood not only for Marie’s Beauti

The head of the millinery depart
ment was gasping with excitement.
She waved wildly for the girls to sur
round her, and they came with a rush.
“You won’t believe it,” she began,
"no living soul could; it’s the sort of
thing you read in the newspaper, but
nevertheless it’s just as true as gos

ON A WOMAN'S AGE.
The thanks of her sex are due Min*
nie Gaillard, schoolma'am of Sartar-
tia, Texas, for her resistance to an
act of oppression in Recorder Goff’s
court, says the New York World.
Threatened with jail if «he did not
divulge her age, she stood out for the
unalienable right of womanhood. The
toss of her head and the snap of
jaws as she defied the efforts of the
district attorney to extract the in
criminating evidence deserve to go
on record in the annals of freedom
along with the firing of the shot heard
’round the world.
When the women of Colorado go to
the polls to vote, the highest judicial
tribunal in the state cannot force
them to tell their age. They are “above
21,” and that in the law’s chivalric
view is enough. It is all the marriage
license clerk requires to know. On
the subject of the age of ladies of
title the Almanach de Gotha and
Burke's Peerage are discreetly silent,
though less considerate of mere
princess and dukes.
Is not the authority ample? Thus
bulwarked by sound legal and social
precedents. Miss Gaillard stands on
uncontrovertible ground.
WEARING OF BEADS PREVALENT.
Wearing of beads seems to be grow
ing more and more prevalent. From
the morning hours, when the shirt
waist suit is worn until the time when
fashionable women don decollete
gowns, the throat decoration is the
thing. Coral is the prime favorite
in the morning and a narrow band with
a carved clasp gives a touch of dainti
ness to a plain gingham or lawn. Some
women who should know better twine
pearls around their throat when on
shopping expeditions. The young
daughter of the Russian Ambassador
in Washington, Baroness Elizabeth
Rosen, may be seen exercising her
dog and wearing pearls about her
neck. Miss Louise Foraker w r ears an

A GREAT AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE FOR GEORGIA.
No more important legislation has
been passed by the Georgia general
assembly at its present session than
that of appropriating $100,000 for the
erection of suitable buildings and
equipments for an up-to-date agricul
tural college in connection with the
state university at Athens.
The recent trip of the Georgia state
university trustees to Wisconsin for
the purpose of studying the great ae-
rlcultural college there emphasize^
the necessity of doing something for
this most Important Industry.
Hon. J. J. Connor, president of the
state agricultural society introduced
the bill to apropriate $100,000 for an
agricultural hall on the campus. Mr.
George Foster Peabody and others
purchased nine hundred acres of
land adjoining the old campus for over
$100,000. This will give amplo room
for experiment station plats, general
farm crops, stock, orchards, forestry
and everything pertaining to the edu
cation and life of the farmer. Here
will be planted orchards of every
kind of fruit that can be grown in
Georgia. Here will be herds of all
the bast breeds of mlix and of beef
cattle, of hogs, houses, sheep and
poultry. Farm crops of every kind
w.lll be grown, experiments in plant
breedings, till and fertilizing will be
conducted. To this great college and
farm, as it develops, will come hun
dreds of studenls for the longer
courses, and thousands of farmers
will annually visit it for lectures and
demonstrations.
It will become the Mecca of every
Georgia farmer. Here will his son
study. Here he will come with his
family in the summer to the annual
state institute: Here he will write
for information,, for tests, for bulle
tins. Here will be trained the teach
ers to teach agriculture in the coun
ty high schools, which are sure to
come within a few years.
Every farmer should rejoice at the
recognition of his occupation as wor
thy of the best building and the best
equipment on the university campus.
It means a new era of prosperity for
the farm.
This liberal provision guarantees
larger usefulness of the state’s his-
torjic university and will enable it to
preserve all the splendid traditions of
glorious past, while it keeps

A Point of Tribal Honor.
A Choctaw Indian has broken hll
word, and the whole tribe is humil
iated, for a Choctaw's word has for
many years been recognized as being
as good as a white man's blood. A few
weeks ago a full-blooded Indian of
that-nation was charged with murder.
The time of trial was fixed and, ac
cording to custom, the accused al
lowed to go free. When the trial-day
arrived he did not appear. It is said
that he is the first man of the tribe
who has ever fled from justice.
The Choctaw's respect for his word
is one of the characteristics of the
tribe. In a book on the Choctaws,
written fifty years ago, Mr. Morris
1 speaks of this trait in connection
with judicial proceedings. When that
nation first organized there was no
\ prison in which to confine accused
persons, and it became a matter of
honor for such to appear voluntarily
in court and answer the charges.
A man would have been stigmatized
as a coward if he had failed to ap
pear, and to a high-minded Indian
cowardice is worse than death. No
full-blooded Choctaw has, until now,
been known to abscond or to secrete
himself to evade the sentence of law.
To show how sacredly the Indian
has guarded this sentiment, Mr. Mor
ris relates an incident of which he
had knowledge. Two brothers were
living together, when one was charg
ed with crime, convicted, and sen
tenced to be executed. When the time
came, the condemned man manifested
reluctance to meet his sentence. His
brother was surprised and indignant.
“My brother, you Traid to die! You
no good Indian. You coward. You no
plenty brave. You live, take care of
my woman and child. I die. I no
'fraid, much brave.”
The exchange was made, and the
innocent was executed to save the
honor of the nation of Choctaws.

Last Resort of the Wild.
As to hunting and fishing, these
Hudson Bay railroads will open up
the chief game resort of the world.
The fur wealth Is so great that the
Eskimos bring in several hundred
skins of musk oxen every season in
addition to bales of polar bear skins,
caribou, wolves and foxes. Some of
the finest furs of the world may be
seen stacked up like hay on the shore
of Hudson Bay, awaiting transporta
tion to the trading posts. In one lo
cality about the bay the Eskimos
trapped in one year more than a thou
sand white foxes, besides wolves,
wolverines and other anlnvals.
At present most of the hunting is
being done by Eskimos, and Indians,
who make It a life business. These
Eskimos are much like our natives of
Alaska. The men average about five
feet three Inches high and the women
less than five feet. They have black
eyes and hair, and their hair Is
straight and as coarse as horse hair.
They have flat no-ses, high cheek
bones and eyes which are Chinese
In shape. The teeth of the older wo
men are worn almost to the gums
from chewing sealskin, In order to
make It soft and more easily sewn.
These people live in snow houses
during the winter and In sealskin
tents in the summer. They subsist
largely on seal meat or whale blubber
and their fires are oil lamps. They
have but few domestic animals ex
cept dogs, although It is said that

Condensed Food to Supplant Meat.
Consul Pike, of Zittau, reports that
an interesting discovery Is being dis
cussed by the German press, which
refers to the result of a recent inves
tigation by Prof. Emil Fischer, of Ber
lin. He writes:
“It Is contended that the principal
nourishment required by the human
body £cr its maintenance is albu
men, according to the renowned pro
fessor of physiology, Pfeiffer, the
source of all muscular strength. For
this reason it has at all times been
the endeavor of our learned men to
obtain more knowledge of this im
portant ingredient of our daily food.
Up till now all such efforts have been
in vain, but it was recognized that
were it possible to make artificial al
bumen, a complete change in the
present system of nourishing the hu
man body would be brought about and
would render the now so necessary
meat food to a great extent dispen
sable.
“Prof. Emil Fischer, director of the
leading chemical institution, the Ber
lin University, has gained the credit
of having accomplished the first an
alysis of natural albumen. He has
established the composition of the
various ingredients, some of which
he has succeeded in producing arti
ficially. The substance thus obtained
he has called ‘polypeptide,’ and it is
said to possess a large number of the
properties charactertistic of natural
albumen. The vast inportance of this
discovery will be better comprehended
when we realize that the introduc
tion of this artificial food will reduce
the disastrous effects of bad harvests,
pestilence, etc., to a minimum, and
cause famine to become a thing of
the past.”

DON’TS FOR BUSINESS GIRLS.
Don't be late to your work and then
expect consideration because you are |
a young lady.
Don’t expect to be treated as if you
were in society. You are probably
doing the work that was done form
erly by a man, and if in small ways
j'ou are not considered as much as
you are at home, remember that you
are in business.
Don’t have your friends come in to
see you during business hours.
Don't let your friends ring you up
at the office, even in the lunch hour.
Don’t complain constantly about j
your work. If your work is not con
genial to you, make up your mind to
get some other employment, but
don't whine. That never helped any
one.

Senor Duro’s Voyage.
Details reaching France concerning
Senor Duro’s aerial voyage over the
Pyrenees are of great interest for
those associated with aeronautics. It
appears that the trip was in the na

casion by the forelock. It had not been
proposed to do anything for a day or
two, but a steady wind from the north

A hard headed old Pittsburg

fortune, %s he expresses it, * 1
“with his coat off," was in
duced by his daughters to accompany
them to a Wagner concert, the first
he had ever attended. The next day
he happened to meet an acquaintance :
who had seen him the night before,
who asked:
“I suppose you enjoyed the concert
last night. Mr. Brown?”
“Yes; it took me back to the days
of my youth,” the old man said, with
a reminiscent sigh.
“Ah, summer days in the country,

all that?"

Nothing could be more sensible for
play suits for small children, both
boys and girls, than short-sleeved, low-
necked blouses with very full short
bloomers joined by a narrow band.
Linen suits and coats with bands
of contrasting color for trimming are
always in good style and launder sat
isfactorily—two very good reasons for
their figuring largely in the summer
wardrobe.
Full panels alternating with plain
ones set below a fitted yoke (also
made in panels or gores) are an at
tractive feature of the skirt of a thin
gown. Stitched bands cover the join
ing of the panels with the yoke.
The narrow knife plaitings have
lost none of their prestige as a bodice
or bolero decoration, whether held flat
on both sides or allowed to flare at
one edge.
Plain gold engagement bracelets
having a permanent lock are a new
fancy of the engaged girl which are
sold by some of the most exclusive

Black lace made into coats over a J
white lining is extremely modish, and
the contrasting lining brings out the
beauty of the pattern as no gown can
do. though delightful effects are ob

be worn with either the black or white |
lace coat without lining.

sotting In committed himself alone
to the winds of the night. He cleared
the Pyrenees over the Pic du Midi
d’Ossau, at a height of 9,000 feet,
traversing a furious hurricane of wind
and snow that for a time placed him
in some peril. He had to keep himself
at this elevation most of the night,
by reason of the Spanish mountain
chains. He obtained elfin glimpses of
cities so widely separated as Sara
gossa, Madrid and Toledo as he sped
along through the dark midair, and
about 4 a. m. on Tuesday the aero
naut found that he had traversed
Spain in the night from north to
south. He was then over Linares, in
Granada, confronted by the great
peak of the Sierra Nevada, nearly
11,000 feet high, with the Mediterran
ean behind it. Rather than face this
prospect the senor came down at

ten and a half hours—a fine express
speed.—London Globe.
using black powder and when sights
and other parte of the equipment
were poorly developed, our firing was
both slow and inaccurate. At that
time it was considered satisfactory if
a 12-inch gun fired one shot in five
minutes. But with each subsequent
improvement in ordnance the rapidity
was somewhat increased, and by car
rying out systematic target practice
the present striking efficiency has
been attained. For example, the
heavy turret guns that were but a
few years ago allowed five minutes
iu which to fire a shot, have recently
fired three shots and made three hit/

The Bishop and the Waffles.
It would indeed be a queer uishop
who could not tell a good story on
himself. The late Bishop Dudley of
Kentucky was wont to relate with
much relish an interesting experience
which he once had in connection with
waffles.
At a fine old Virginia homestead
where he was a frequent guest the
waffles were always remarkably good.
One morning, as breakfast drew
near an end, the tidy little linon-
roated black boy who served at table
approached Bishop Dudley and asked
in a low voice:
“Bishop, won’t y’ have ’n'er waf
fle?”
“Yes,” said the genial bishop, ' i
believe I will.”
“Dey ain' no mo’,” then said the
nice little black boy.
“Well,” exclaimed the surprised
reverend gentleman, “if there arn’t
any more waffles, what made you ask
me if I wanted another one?”
‘Bishop,” explained the little black
boy, “you’s done et ten a’ready, an’ I
fought y’ wouldn’t want no mo’.”—-

Human Power of Resistance.
The inhabitants of Paris once lived
under Henry IV., during a seige, on
still more repugnant meals. All grass
which could be found, even that grow
ing between the stones of the pave
ment, was cooked into soups. In a
field-oven erected especially for this
purpose "delicious” pastries of ground
bones were made up during a period
of three weeks, and the necessary
bones were obtained from a near-by
cemetery.—Harper’s Weekly.
