THE GENTLEMAN.
| Robert E. Los Definition of the Quall-
ties That Make Him.
Lee hated parade, display and cere
mony, hated above all things being
made an object of public gaze and
adulation. His idea of high position
was high responsibility, a superior was
: simply one who had larger duties, and
sense of the feelings and susceptibili-
| ties of others. No one hts ever ex-
pressed this attitude more delicately
than be himse!f in this memorandum
manner in which an individual enjoys
ceriain advantages over others is a
est of a true gentleman. The power
which the strong have over the weak,
the magistrate over the citizen. the
employer over the employed, the edu-
cated over the unlettered, the experi-
enced over the contiding, even the
clever over the silly—the forbearing or
inoffensive usc of all this power or au-
i thority or 1 total abstinence from it
when the case admits it, will show the
gentleman in a plain light. The gen-

I He cannot only forgive; he can forget,
and he strives for that nobleness of

past be but the past. A true man of

When Ice Covered Europe.
During the long tertiary epoch, when
site of Paris and mastodons tramped |
along the valley of the Thames, the
earth was in the throes of mountain
making. The Alps, the Himalayas,
the Alleghenies, the Andes, attest the
power of her activity in those days. At
their termination our continents stood
areatly higher than they do now, and
this aided their glaciation. although it
does not fully account for it. But as
they became loaded with ice Europe
and America gradually and we may
venture to say contemporaneously

At times it cannot be denied the ques-

Opposed to Mourning Clothes.
“A southern physician of recognized
skill and eminence urges that all out-
ward symbols of mourning should be
abandoned,” says Munsey's. “For many
years he has expressed his views. He |
has won over a large number of peo-
ple who see no reason why the heart |
should advertise its sorrow by the ,
congpicuoas insignia of gloom. There
are or have been peoples wiser in
their generation. ‘The Romans of the
days of the republic wore blue as a |

thing in Asia Minor now. The Turk |
mourns in violet and the Persian in |
pale brown. Until a French queen |

half of the fifteent!r century white was
the color of grief in Europe, as it is
now in China.”
