We are burning to know how she wears overalls so as to impact "that cachet" that our own farmereites have not yet foi out of them. But the fact of it is that the French woman is, down at bottom, the most practical woman. in the world, and getting away with clothes is only one of the outward signs of her being able to do well whatever. she does at all.

The origin of the phrase to "take 'many a philological contest, but the outcome of them, for the most part, has been to increase interest in the question. It has been 'plausibly rug- gested 'that the custom of disappear- ing unobtrusively ' from: a crowded reception was borrowed by the Eng- lish from the polite French. Again, i* has been suggested that the French, in the phrase, "French Ieave" is implied in the etymology of the word "frank," meaning free, a pérmission net granted but assumed. But the question is further muddied by. the fact that the French have a phrase, "prendre conge a la maniere aise," or 'se retirer a I'An- | scious and quieter than the dull boy; gence, we may yet say that the intelli gent boy is markedly conscientious, is moderately robust, athletic and popu- jar; he tends rather to quick than to sullen temper.

The man upon the plank | was balanced on this crosstree, and | the plank remained at a level without any effort upon his part.

This experimént was repeated with a number of pefioiis belonging to both sexes, and in every case the result was the same. sleeper's head incline ground. This phenomenon is explained by the fact that the head is drained of surplus blood when a person is asleep, and the bleed naturally' flows towardstlie ex- tremities of the sleeper. Immediately this makes the head lighter in weight, the difference being sufficient to npset the balance of a man resting in the po- sition described : toward the . A Theodore Thomas Retort. A charscteristic story is told of one of the first rehearsals of the college choir (of thé Cincinnati College of Mu- sic), at which Theodore Thomas had reprimanded some of the Sopranos sharply for inattention. "He treats us as if we were members of his orches- tra!" exclaimed an indignant singer to her nest neighbor. Thomas overheard the remark and let it pass for the mo- ment, but at the close of the rehearsal, as the performers were leaving the stage, he passed the lady in question and, turning to her, said: very. quietly, but with" that biting sfréasm which those who knew him did not eare to exeite, "Maddm, you will have to sing before 1 shall treat you &s I treat the members of my orchestral"--Memoirs of Theodore Thomas. 1 Origin of the T Rail.

Over the entrance is the inscription in Latin, "1 am the doorjby me if any man en ter in he Shill be saved and shall go in and out," and he .shsll find pasture." The bricks in the great dome in the in. terior reveal this inscription: "Deus in medio ells; hon commovebitur. Adiu- vabit eam DIiéus vuitu suo." The trans. lation may be found in Psalm xivi; 5 These facts are of interest in view of the present tottering condition of the Moslem power. ---------------- Presidential Golf.

ONE WAY TO WOO SLE Travel in Memory Some Road You Knew Weil in Childhood. it is hard for me to remember now that my knowledge of the sicipy road, gained 50 many years ago, came only through the chance bit of advice drop ped by a wise, kind, weary old doctor as he shuffled at midnight down the corridor of the silent hospital, says the Atlantic Monthly. Whatever was the errand of life or death that had called him in such haste, he had time to stop and give me a friendly Word, although I, a sma¥F and incorrigibly sleepless patient, 'was | gitting bolt upright among the: pillows in defiance of ali his orders and was staring wide eyed into the hot, pain haunted dark, "You think you are never going to be able to sleep again, don't you?" he ob served. "Well, shut your eyes and do just what I tell you. Think of some road that you know well, a good Jong road that winds and 'turns and shows you water and woods and hills." Keep your eyes tight shut and travel along it in memory. Go as slowly as you eqn, recall every sight and sotind and 'perfume as you pass by: " "I have such a road of my own, the one 1 used to walk to school when 1 was eight years old. 1 have started out on it a hundred times when I thought I could not sleep, but I never get very far. 1 come just about to the old stone bridge over Damon's creek ot perhaps to the swimming hole, where the willows dip into the brown water, but I never reach the end." FACING THE CAMERA. Don't Dress Up and Don't Posse When Having a Picture Taken. "There are many things I would like to say to. the woman who intends hay- ing her picture taken," said a famous photographer the other day. "Many women come to me and say: *Of course you prefer taking actresses. They must have many advantages over those women who never have time but to give an occasional glafice in their mirrors' This is entirely a mistake. The conscious pose fiever makes & sat: isfactory portrait. I would say em: phatically to the womau who goes to have her photograph made not to re hearse her pose and facial expression beforehand. "1 always find it difficult to impress on the woinan coming to my studio that clothes and jewels ate of abso. tutely no accotint in a photograph.
