John’s Fate.
A schoolteacher who was about to
be married visited an old friend, and
naturally the coming event was the
topic of much of the conversation. Tha
young woman, whose plans were not
yet made public, thought it wise to
pledge the little four-year-old daughter
of the house to secrecy. Accordingly
she called little Ethel to her, told her
that soon she and John were to be
married, and asked her to promise that
she would keep the secret.
Little Ethel went back to her play,
while her mother and the teacher re-
sumed their conversation.
Some ten - -inutes later Ethel re-
turned, and whispered with great cau-
tion, “Miss Brown, does John know
anything about it?’—Youth’s Com-
panion.

“You say that women haven’t the
endurance of men?’’
“They haven’t.”
“That'they cannot successfully re-
sist unusual mental strain or physi-

patience and endurance?”
“Yes.”
“Do you see that little woman over
there?”
“Yes.”
“You have never known a man whcr
could endure what she has endured.”
“Eh! Why, what is she?”
“She’s the reader-of the love stories
submitted to a popular magazine.”—

“Withers seems to have the gift of

“No. I think it’s a borrowed accom-
plishment.”
“Experiments satisfied me, some 5
years ago,” writes a Topeka woman,
“that coffee was the direct cause of the
insomnia from which I suffered ter-
ribly, as well as extreme nervousness-
and acute dyspepsia.
“I had been a coffee drinker since
childhood, and did not like to think
that the beverage was doing me all
this harm. But it was, and the time-
came when I had to face the fact, and
protect myself. I therefore gave up
coffee abruptly and absolutely, and
adopted Postum for my hot drink at
meals.

matter of only a few weeks before I
found myself entirely relieved—the
nervousness passed away, my diges-

efficiency, and I began to sleep rest-

“These happy conditions have con-

am safe in saying that I owe them
entirely to Postum, for when I began
to drink it I ceased to use medicines.”

“HICCOUGHS OF THE SEA”
Scientists Explain Frequent Reports
of Cannonading Heard in the
North Sea.
Paris.—The frequent reports, which
subsequently were not confirmed, that
heavy cannonading had been heard in
the North sea, have led to an investi-
gation by scientists. It was thus dis-
closed that the reports of detonations
were Authentic, although no firing took
place.
Scientists who were on the lookout
for a repetition of this phenomenon
were rewarded by hearing loud detona-
tions off the coast on a day when it
was known that no naval action what-
ever was in progress. This phenome-
non was noted along the French coast,
off the Department of Pas-de-Calais.
Abbe Moreux of the observatory at
Bourges came to the conclusion that
these loud reports were simply what
the Belgians call “mistpoeffers," or ex
plosions of fog. They are called “hic-
coughs of the sea” in Holland, and
sometimes are referred to as marine
bombs. The same phenomenon has
been observed on the banks of the
great lakes and on the great plains of
the Delta of the Ganges.
After the theory that these detona-
tions were produced by artillery had
been discarded, it was thought possible
that they were the result of electrical
discharges. Finally Abbe Moreux no-
ticed that the appearance of this phe-
nomenon was generally simultaneous
with reports of explosions of firedamp
in mines.
The electrical action of the sun upon
the surface of the earth, the abbe says,
provokes movements favorable to the
expansion of imprisoned gases where-
ever there are fissures in the crust.
These gases, liberated from their
prisons, explode and cause at the same
time explosions of firedamp and earth-
quakes. The abbe pointed out that
earthquakes are always preceded by
noises resembling distant detonations
of artillery. Vibrating shocks originat-
ing In the interior of the crust of the
earth may produce sonorous waves
which are quite perceptible if the at-
mosphere is in repose.

TRIAL OF STAMINA
Endurance, Not Showy Battles,
Will Decide This War.
Case of One of Czar’s Troopers Cited
to Show Endurance of Russians—
Perforated, Anxious to
Return to Front.
Warsaw.—There can be no doubt
now that this war is going to be de-
cided, not by a series of brilliant,
showy victories in grand battles, but
by a trial of stamina and power of en-
durance between the allies and their
Teutonic enemies.
Nowhere do the conditions of war
demand of the allies so much patient
endurance and indifference to great
sufferings as on the eastern front,
where the Russian army is laboring
under most cruel disadvantages owing
to scarcity of railways and almost to-
tal absence of good roads, while the
Germans have in their rear the most
perfect system of strategic railways
in the world, built entirely for the pur-
poses of an aggressive war against
Russia.
For this trial of endurance and
stamina the Russian army is emi-
nently suited, both collectively and in-

dividually. There is no other soldier
in the world who can stand so much
physical pain and privation as the
Russian.
In this connection one may recall a
characteristic scene described in the
Russkoye Slovo of Moscow, by its cor-
respondent at the front.
The scene took place at a field hos-
pital. In front of a large tent a crowd
of wounded soldiers, straight from
the trenches, were waiting medical
aid. A kindly Russian priest was
handing round mugs of tea, which he
poured from a large samovar. The
soldiers drank their tea with frank
expressions of enjoyment on their
faces—all except one. He first silent-
ly brushed aside the proffered hand of
the priest, and when the latter pressed
upon him a mug of tea mumbled
dully:
“Can’t. The tooth aches. Please,
can I see the doctor?”
The priest could not refrain from re-
proaching. the big fellow for troubling
the doctor with a toothache.
“Why,” he said, “fancy a strong,
healthy fellow like you coming here
with a toothache, just after the battle,
when the doctors are so busy with
really important cases. Couldn’t you
wait?”
“It aches something awful,” mum-
bled the soldier.
“Then, why didn’t you come earlier,
before the battle?"
“It didn’t ache then. It started
aching only when the bullet got in my
mouth. It stuck there.”
The soldier touched his cheek with
his finger.
Only then did the priest realize how
unjust he was in reproaching the sol-
dier with malingering. He hurried for
a surgeon, who hastily examined the
soldier’s mouth. The bullet could not
be seen from the inside, but he could
feel it through the cheek.
“Now, hold tight, little brother,” he
said, arming himself with pincers,
“and don’t you move.”
“Ready to obey, your honor,” re-
plied the soldier, quite briskly, forget-
ting the pain.
A most painful operation ensued.
The surgeon made one pull, then an-
other, and yet another, and all proved
unsuccessful, and only the fourth pull
brought out the bullet. With his
mouth bleeding profusely, he asked
the surgeon to let him have his bullet
as a souvenir. Smiling and happy, he
sat down to tea.
“Ah, it is good to drink hot tea now.
I got quite cold. My back is wet and
cold—all sticky.”
“What is the matter with it?” in-
quired the priest.
“Oh, it must be a bullet—grazed my
back,” answered the soldier, quite in-
differently.
COLLEGE GETS $10,000,000
Good Reasons for Idea Being Received
With Disfavor—Less Transparency
is Noticed in the Latest of
Popular Gowns.
Many women regret the obvious in-
tention on the part of the dressmak-
ers to include white transparent tops
to gowns of dark material. These
solved difficulties in their heyday be-
cause they served for a variety of
uses. Under a jacket such a frock
was sufficiently somber for the street;
without concealing coat, it was fes-
tive enough for the theater or a small
dinner, for cards in the afternoon or
a day wedding.
It cannot be replaced by the sepa-
rate blouse in a white or contrasting
light fabric, as fashion has not yet
consented to smile on the two gar-
ments joined at the waist line, except
for street use under a jacket, or In
the house during the most informal
hours. The skirt material is row car-
ried straight up to the bust and often
it goes into the collar.
With blue serge one-piece frocks
there are sometimes sleeves of black
satin and a rolling vest of white satin
or organdie to furnish lightness and
coolness; but in the majority of taf-
feta and faille frocks which are of-
fered for afternoon occasions there is
less transparency than there has been
for several seasons.
There are two notable exceptions to
this ruling fashion, and they repre-
sent two entirely different dressmak-
ing houses, but each frock is so good
of its kind that it will be copied far
from its source. One has a full skirt
of black silk with a broad blue satin
stripe across it, the gathers well ad-
justed at the normal waist line.
That’s all there is to the skirt. The
blouse is of cream net and thin lace,
with a high collar that does not meet
in front but is joined there by a
twisted cravat with handkerchief
ends of black satin. The’fronts of the
blouse also refuse to meet, which is
a leading trick in the hands of those
designing frocks this season. The
sleeves are long and tight-fitting,
with frills of lace over the waists, and
there is a half lining of palest pink
satin that passes under the arms.
The belt is a folded piece of black
satin ribbon, ending with a cockade
bow at the side. Quite an old-fash-
ioned girdle! The jacket that makes
this blouse suitable for the street is a
short affair of black satin, slashed at
the sides and trimmed with small jet
buttons. It fastens up to the chin.
The second frock that meets the de-
sire of those thrown in with a dark
costume has a skirt of black faille,
that soft, slightly corded fabric that
is ultra-fashionable this season along

with taffeta. There are two wide,
long tunics cut *o points and plaited
at the sides, above a narrow hem
which swings well above the ankles;
the top part is a Grecian chemise,
quite short, of vermicelli lace just off
the white tone. It has a black velvet
ribbon crossing the figure in the tra-
ditional classic manner, over the
shoulders and under the bust, caught
in the middle by a circlet of ^pearls
or an ebony mounting.
The coat to this is also a short
black silk one, fastened demurely to
the neck to hide the floating flimsi-
ness beneath.

Miss Mary Carey Thomas, president
of Bryn Mawr college, will receive the
bulk of the $10,000,000 estate left by
her friend, Miss Mary Elizabeth Gar-
rett, daughter of the late John W. Gar-
rett, president of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad. Miss Thomas is named
executrix and residuary legatee under
the will which has just been probated.
Bryn Mawr receives no specific be-
quest, but the terms of the will indi-
cate that Miss Thomas and Miss Gar-
rett, who had been close friends for
years, had an understanding that the
college was to receive substantial
benefits. The picture shows Miss
Thomas and Baron Russell Briggs of
Radcliffe college at recent college ex-
ercises.
The priest again called the sur-
geon. The soldier was quite upset to
trouble “his honor” when he was so
busy.
“A through wound,” anxiously re-
marked the surgeon, after a quick ex-
amination.
“Well, there you are,” quite cheer-
fully retorted the soldier; “she went
in and out. So why waste your time
over her? No harm done. If your
honor would only bandage it, I shall
be all right.”
The surgeon had to bring down the
whole weight of his authority to pre-
vent him from scooting back to the
trenches with a fresh “through”
wound in his chest.
This sturdy, simple-hearted soldier,
so indifferent to pain and privation, Is
but a type of Russia’s peasant war-
riors. Against an army of such war-
riors all the Impetuous German on-
slaughts will break like sea waves
against a granite rock.
