High School Has Started Something. I .list year Mr. Wlggam was on the lecture course. He also gave a short address to the high school. The stu dents were so well pleased with his talk and lecture that they have decid ed lo bring him here again under the auspices of the boys' and girls' ath letic association to deliver ^another of his great lectures. Mr, Wlggam is a man with an idea. He is entertaining because lie is humorous--lie instructs because In is a, thinker. His lectures are so perfectly gotten up as lo fill the re quirements of tlie most fastidious. It you don't cure for a heavy lecture you will be carried down the chan nels of thought Into the realm of new ideas with such skillful logic and so little friction as to land you ere you are aware in the beaming sun shine of a bigger and a heller world.

A broker and bunker, who was n member of the Russian relief commit tee that had in charge tlie transporta tion of food to Russia from Philadel phia a few years ago during i famine, likes to tell of an unusual experience he had while soliciting for the relief fund. In speaking of It ho said: "I tell it because it shows tho speed with which some people think. I called on a man who was always a generous contributor to charity. He was out of sorts when I saw him and after I explained my mission he said: ‘You fellows arc always begging for some thing' 1 was taken aback for a few seconds and when I recovered myself 1 asked. ‘What would you do if the wolf wore at your door?' He stared at me in a terrifying manner for a sci ond and then blurted out, 'Why, you tool. I would eul the wolf' I no ticed when I was passing out Hie door he was still wati-lflng me sharply. I have never served on a relic! commit tee wiio-e then."

Tin- (ockade originated simply in the knot oi ribbons or strings by whirli Hu b ead Haps of (he seven teenth i t i!' iry round hat were “corked oi drawn up to tlie briui in One weather, ami thus originated tlie three-cornered hat, as well as the cocked hat of later times. There was nothing specially military about tlie usage, us the ignorant assert. The same strings survive in the loops of the hats of bishops and other ecclesi astical dignitaries in Great Britain; in tlie strings of tlie hats worn by French cures and Spanisli and Italian padres and in the cords which are still seen on the hats of some livery ser vants. B naturalh became tlie custom for military men to "cock" their hats with the livery color of the prince they served, and as the Hanoverian color was tin- convenient one of black, the "black cockade" became associated in tlie minds of the people will; military uniform. In an old Scotch song of Shiramuir. citing Woodwartl's herald ry, we read of "the red coal lads with black cockades," and a knot of white ribbons was naturally chosen as the badge of their opponents. When the old use of Uie strings was forgotten, the knot, in the form of a rosette of ribbon, survived, just as did the but tons on the backs ol our coats, which were intended to fasten bai l; the (laps In riding or marching.—"Justice of the Peace.” HAD NO TIME TO BE AFRAID. Italian in Deadly Peril Saved Himself by Feat That Few Could Duplicate, V little knowledge is u dangerous tiling to the man who handles dyna mite. Italian laborers who never read up on explosives and have no superstitions about them seldom are injured through am faulty handling of their own. II your dynamite freezes, thaw it out. if you drop an armful of it on the ground all you have to do is to pick it up. Some Italian laborers were digging .1 well. They got down about a dozen I feet and struck rock. The foreman ! improvised a ladder, drilled a hole and inserted a half pound of dynamite. He lighted an ordinary luse aud scrambled up the ladder. Before he reached the surface his i:.skf hift lad- 1 dor broke and down he tumbled al- i most on top of the spluttering fuse. Many ter educated man would have realized his awful peril to the exclusion of every e ther thought. The Italian foreman whipped out his pock et knife and clipped off the burning fuse. When lie appeared at tlie sur face, grinning, lie exhibited the cart ridge with a bare inch of fuse stick ing in it. Drawings and Paintings. The first sketch from nature which a great artist makes nearly always has a freshness which he only labors away in the picture he bases on it; and the rough pencil or charcoal lines of tlie former frequently rev I more of his feeling toward his subj' ct than all hia anxious manipulations of the brush. That is why it is so exceeding ly worth while to collect and cata logue every scrap of drawing that once littered a great painter's studio. Ills drawings give you his intentions; his paintings do not always give you their fulfillment. It is true that a diuwing is iucompleie, mu therein lies Its charm. Possessing a drawing you possess a hope, and hope is better for mortals—'T P.'s Weekly.
