gown has the coat and skirt effect pro
duced by the military arrangement of
the frogs on the front of the bodice
and the short tunic at the back. The
box pleat of either side of the front
of the bodice is new and the square
collar is also out of the ordinary.
There is a tablier front and a supple

Mora Honors For
Miss Grace Strachan.
Miss Grace Strachan says she's not
a "possibility" for the presidency of
the National Educational association.
(Which at the next convention will elect
a new head But the New York friends
of the lady insist that she is the "logi
cal candidate."

Association ef Woman Teachers, and it

was through ber untiring efforts that
the equa! pay bill for men and women
public schoolteachers passed the New
York legislature last year.
Miss Strachan has not only won the
gratitude and admiration of public
schoolteachers all over the country, but
also the esteem of the really big men
in the National Educational associa
tion. Anaesthetics For Plants.
Most plants living for a greater period
than a year require certain intervals
of rest It is at these times that en
ergy is stored up for future activity.
The more complete this period of quies
cence the better is the development aud
the quicker the rate of growth when
the plant awakens from its sleep. Dr.
Johansen of Copenhagen, after au elab
orate series of experiments, has given
to the market grower an effective
method of rapid flower production bas
ed on an intensification of the plant's
resting period. For long it has been
known that vegetable tissue is much
affected by the vapors of chloroform
and ether. After a good deal of in
vestigation the Danish professor was
able to demonstrate that plants sub
mitted to the influence of these anaes
thetics were afterward capable of an
astonishingly rapid growth. . So satis
fied has the practical grower been that
the treatment will be exceedingly help
ful to him that the method is being ex
tensively employed.
The manner of procedure is decided
ly interesting. When in an entirely
restful condition specimens of lilacs,
azaleas, lilies of the valley and other
plants, are placed in an airtight box.
A small vessel affixed to the lid of the
box Is filled with chloroform or ether
and the cover is placed in position. Be
ing heavier than air. the vapors rush to
the bottom of the box and mingle with
the plants. At the end of forty-eight
hours the specimens are taken out and
grown in the ordinary manner. Noth
ing in the way of forcing is required,
and without the employment of any
great degree of beat the plants develop
in a most remarkable manner. Lilacs
were in full bloom within a fortnight
after being placed in the vaporizing
chamber, while lilies of the valley
were hardly so long in coming to ma
turity. In no way did the treatment
harm the plants, which produced flow
ers and foliage in profusion.
Changed Her Mind About Baby's Name
Mrs. Zuba Creel, a young colored wo
man who did housework by the day.
was for a time obliged to devote ber-'
self exclusively to a new member of
the family. Miss Lucy West, one of
her customers, called one morning to
find out how Zuba was getting on. says
the Youth's Companion.
"What are you going to name the
baby, Zuba?" asked Miss Lucy, after
inspecting the tiny newcomer with
due interest.
"Well'm," returned Zuba. "1 been
studying over a new name I beard, and
I 'spec' I'll name him Rodent"
"Rodent." gasped Miss Lucy. "What
ever made you think of that?"
"Well'm. one day las' spring, when
II was i'ning clo'es at Miss Parlin's I
lieard Miss Alice tell her maw she see
some signs that made her think de Ro

"I didn't hear no mo'n dat but I

"No," said Miss Lucy, "and I don't
think you will, either, when I tell you
that Miss Alice probably meant rats
and mice when she spoke of rodents."
"Hush!" cried Zuba in astonishment

St?ir Cliribing a Good Exercise.
The maimer in which we ascend or
descend the stairs determines whether
or not we shall feel rested when we
reach the top or completely wearied
and done up. . -
To go upstairs properly Is good exer
cise, besides being excellent training
in proper standing and walking.
If we labor upstairs with the head
drooping, shoulders stooping, knees
bending and feet stumbling: we are
getting ourselves Into a bad habit
Hold tip the head, throw out the
chest and place the ball of the foot
lightly and evenly upon each step.
.When descending the same rules are
i
given, andlf Tt is difficult at first "raise
the bands as high as the ears, but un
der no consideration touch the banis
ters.
When the foot of the stairs is reached
let the hands fall naturally to the sides
and stand sixty seconds.
These are the rules which girls had
to live nn to in a certain old fashion
ed school which turned out many grace
ful society buds years ago.
The action taught them to stand well
and be deliberate, a habit more of us
could cultivate today with advantage
to ourselves.
The continual hurrying produces
Jerky movements which they claim is
another word for awkwardness.
Besides, this lightly tripping up and
down the steps lends lightness to the
general gait and keeps a girl who does
not take up athletics in. good trim.

150 KILLED AS MINE
SMYRNA, April 30. The steam
ship Texas, belonging to the Archi
pelago American Steamship Company
struck a mine at the entrance to the
Gulf of Smyrna and sank. One hund
red and fifty persons on board were
drowned.
Another report says that ninety
passengers out of the 156 on board
the Texas were rescued. Several of
the rescued were injured. The. crew
were not accounted for in this report
It is alleged the disaster was due
to the Teaxs deviating from the
course indicated by the pilot boat pre
ceding her through the mine field.
The Texas was flying the Turkish
flag and was engaged in carrying mail
from Constantinople to the Levant.
It was first said that the Texas was
an American vessel, the error arising
from the fact that it is part of the
fleet of a local concern trading under
the name of the Archipelago Amer
ican Steamship Company.
The Gulf of Smyrn Is one of the
finest harbors in the Mediterranean,
and Smyrna itself is the principal sea
port of Asiatic Turkey. The entrance
was extensively mined, recently by
the Turkish authorities to protect the
port against an attack, by the Italian
fleet The Texas was a vessel of 261
tons net register, built -at Newcastle,
England, in 1888. She was at first
called the Olympic, then rechristened
the Marguerite and, finally the Texas.

THE VALUE OF
PROMINENCE
.Sometimes It Is a Dis
advantage :
By F. A. MITCHEL
t..H..H..I..H..H..H..;..;..H..;..;,.I,,t, r, ;..;...
I am a literary man. a novelist. 1
and my characters are known all over
the English speaking world. Of late
years we literary men. after having
won our literary spurs, find the lecture
field much more profitable certainly
an easier way of earning money than
writing books.
I gained my prominence before I had
come to middle age and was consid
ered a desirable parti by young ladies
in search of a husband. Miss Amelia
Gregory was the one of all others I
favored, but Miss Gregory was not
sure whether she favored me or not.
1 had a rival a rival who had some
prominence, though in a different field
from mine. Harding was an explorer
and climber. He had climbed not only
the prominent Swiss peaks, but certain
ones of the Himalayas and Andes. He
had stood on the top of one mountain
on which no man had ever stood be
fore. Miss Gregory's suitors became reduc
ed to two. Harding and myself. Not
gifted with marked ability in any one
direction, she was ambitious for the
man she would marry. I was better
known than Harding, but there is a
greater fascination about a man who is
at constant risk of breaking his neck
than one who incurs no especial dan
ger. Miss Gregory treasured a picture
taken from an illustrated newspaper
of Harding bracing against the next
man below him in a mountain ascent.
the man below having slipped, and.
since the rope did not break, Harding
saved his life. . So long as Miss Greg
ory kept that picture by her I felt that
my suit with her was, to say the least.
dubious.
Since Harding and I were traveling
all over the world it is natural that we
"WHY, I THOUGHT TOU WEBK DEAD," HB
EXCLAIMED.
should occasionally meet I ran across
him in Berlin and In Constantinople.
We were acquainted; but, as both knew
that we were after the same girl, we
were not cordial. On the contrary, we
hated each other.
My reputation was occasionally ap
propriated in this fashion: Some impe
cunious rascal, well educated and
doubtless smart, would advertise to lec
ture as myself, personate me, talk In
my name, read from my books and
pocket the reward. In some out of the
way country where no one had seen
me this was a device very easily per
petrated. I had heard of these indi
viduals, but never had run across one
of them till I arrived in Bombay, In
British India, where I was advertised
to give a lecture before an English and
American audience.
In driving to my hotel I encountered
an imposing funeral procession.- The
dead man surely"must be -of promi
nence, for a large proportion of the
English and American population were
in attendance. My driver pulled up
near the curb to let the procession pass,
and 1 asked a man standing on the
sidewalk what dead was being hon
ored. "Paul Wagstaff, the author and lec
turer." Now, my name is Paul Wagstaff. 1
am an author and lecturer, and 1 ex
pected to deliver a lecture In that very
'town that same evening. To see my
own funeral procession moving by was
not only surprising, but appalling. And
who should 1 see among the mourners
but my rival, Harding! 1 knew that
In his heart he was rejoicing, though
be bad assumed a funereal expression
quite worthy of the occasion. 1 drew
back Into my carriage. '
Previous to seeing Harding follow
ing my remains'" to the grave I had ex
pected to join my funeral procession
myself and attend my Interment But
his presence in the throng boded no
good to me. It would be a fine scheme
for him to fro home., announce my
death to Amelia and win an easy vic
tory.. I thought it best that be should
not see me alive. If he attempted to
take advantage of my death I might
turn that advantage to myself by turn
ing up in the flesh in the nick of time.
Therefore as soon as the funeral pro
cession had passed I drove on to my
hotel and registered under an assumed
name.
I soon got an explanation of the sin
frular occurrence. An impostor had
personated me and several days before-
my arrival bad lectured in my
name. He bad been taken sick, and
the society which had extended the In
vitation to lecture dad' given bim every
attention. .He had died, andthey had
attended his"Tunefalln"a "body.
I shrank from putting in an appear
ance as the real Paul Wagstaff. The
chances were that 1 would be consid
ered instead the real Impostor, and if 1
were believed I would only make those
who had shown me or my reputation
such marked attention feel uncomfort
able. The consequence was that 1 left
the city without making myself known.
It was late in the season, and. having
no further engagements in the east. 1
turned my face homeward. I - would
havt written my relatives that if they
pot a report of my death and burial to
consider it incorrect, but 1 could travel
about as fast as a letter would go. Be
sides. 1 had no very near connections.
As to Miss Gregory, 1 was in no hur
ry . to forestall any report she might
hear concerning me. 1 would likely
get home as soou as Harding, so 1 bad
little or nothing to fear from that
source. -
I did not care to travel very fast, so
that Harding, if he were carrying the
news of my death, could, if he chose.
go faster than I. Spring was coming
on, and. fearing the beat of southern
countries, I preferred to get into the
mountains. While in Ihterlaken I
heard the news of ah accident to a
party of men who had attempted to
ascend Mont Blanc. They succeeded
In reaching the summit, but in descend
ing were caught In an avalanche and
two out of a party of six had been
lost. The name of one of those who
were killed was given as Harding.
This news was received Just as I
was starting to the station to catch a
train that would take me to the steam
er on which I had engaged passage to
America without any time to spare.
I was therefore prevented from' get
ting any definite Information respect
ing the accident or making sure that
my rival. Harding, had been killed.
But since he was always climbing 1
did not doubt that he was the real
Harding, the man whom I knew would
carry the news of my death to Miss
Gregory..
I don't like to confess it. but candor
compels me to admit that I felt just a
bit of satisfaction- at being able to go
home and announce the death of the
man who I knew had been anticipat
ing making the announcement of my
own demise. I regretted not being
able to carry with me the details, but
to wait for them would interfere with
engagements In America. Besides, I
expected that the news of Harding's
death would go far ahead of me by
cable. My sad end In Bombay was
not so likely to be forwarded. Bom
bay is on the other side of the globe
from America, and one may be more
readily lost In India than In Europe.
On my arrival at home after getting
settled In my accustomed quarters I
went one evening to call on Miss
Gregory. Now that Harding was out
of the way I did not anticipate much
trouble In bringing her to a favorable
answer to my suit, though, of course,
on my first visit I should only an
nounce the sad accident. If she bad
not heard it; and give her time to re
cover from the shock.
1 found her pleased to see me -and
judged from her appearance that she
bad not heard about Harding. We
chatted for awhile,, when 1 said:
"That was very sad about Harding,
wasn't it?" -She
was much surprised and begged
me to tell her at once- what .had hap
pened to bim. I did so, and she ap
peared much affected at the terrible
catastrophe. While we were express
ing commiseration for him there was
a ring at the door bell and in walked
Harding himself.
He was so astonished at seeing me
that he did not greet Miss Gregory,
but stood staring at me as if 1 were a
ghost
"Why, I thought you were dead!" he
exclaimed.
I explained the circumstances of my
supposed demise in -Bombay; then told
him of the news I had heard at Inter-
laken of his accident on Mont Blanc.
"That Harding," he explained, "was
an Englishman and spelt his name
Hardlnge." .
Each of us had returned expecting
the pleasure of announcing" the death
of the other and both were disappoint
ed. Miss Gregory was much interest
ed in the strangeness of our double
death abroad and congratulated us
both that we stiH lived.
"And now," she concluded, "1 wish
you two good friends of mine to know
that during your absence I have found
a great happiness. I am engaged to
be married."
We managed to say something glad
some, though neither of us felt glad.
"Some one worthy of you. I am
sure," said Harding.
"Worthy, but not as you gentlemen
would put It. He has not been heard
of outside his little circle. He Is a
plain, unvarnished business man."
And such is fame. While 1 had been
sufficiently prominent in the lecture
field to warrant a rascal personating
me and Harding was known as the
nly man who, had climbed a certain
mountain, a nobody without any repu
tation whatever and Jsnown to but a
few hundred persons, had quietly walk
ed away with the girl we contended for.
