Lost in the Desert:. •
THE helplessness that a man Male
when he is lost is one of the most
terrible parts of his experience.
Perhaps this 1s at its worst when it ie
not he but the guide who is at fault.
The late G. W. Steevens, the war corre-
spondent, had a terrible experience of
the kind in the Egyptian desert,
"We had been journeying all day,
hoping to reach the rkonastery at
night. I began to feel sleepy and to
droop in the back. I swung my leg
over the pommel, and settled myself to
ride astraddle. Then I decided to sit
side-saddle on the off -side for an hour,
then change end ease the strain again.
o i rode, looking steadily at the great
yellow blotch ahead of me.
"But now the sun was dipping down
again under our hat -brims. It was past
four. It would be dark at half -peat
five; if we had not sighted our monas-
tery then, we were helpless.
"The eagerness with which the guide
raced up each new eminence, the
strained hopefulness of his stare, the
plow disappointment you could read in
the relaxed limbs, the fresh hope re-
newed, but each time fainter, with
which he dashed for the next prospect
—he was at fault. To my eye one ridge,
one dip, one hill was exactly like every
other. We had been riding ten hours
and must have come fifty miles; our
monastery was only forty-five. We
had missed it and it wan all but dark.
"A nikht in the cutting wind of the
deeert, a night without tent. water, fire
or fodder was,,the very beet we had to
look forward to. The worst -but just
then up panted Said.
" 'Have you seen, Seed?'
" 'Effendim, I have sen; I saw from
the hill back yonder. Come and see for
yourselves.'
"And he led us back tto the brow of
the bluff, and there, surely, yes, there
gleamed something white. The monas-
tery, hurrah! It can't be four miles off.
We will walk; the camels canfollow.
So up got the patient camels and\off we
strode, five miles an hour, over sand as
hard and crisp as the early morning
snow'.
The blazing crimson and orange of
the sunset blinded our eyes to the white
blob of the monastery. But faster and
faster we walked. Nov crimson and
orange blazed no more; it was really
dark now; we had come live miles and
had not arrived.
Are you sure you saw, Said? Quite
sre r
Effendlm,' replied Said, 'I thought
I saw something white.' -
"Nothing in sight w ite now. The
guide was 'thrown out utterly; and
there we were, fifty-flve roil s from
home, camels done up, and miles
oamel boys. starving; thirsty and wa-
terless ourselves; with possibly two
days' food and certainly not two days'
water; lost, clean lost In the Libyan
Desert."
That night their sleep was broken by
fears. At early dawn they were up and
searching. Mr. Steevene continues:
"Then the sun comes up, and the
desert is yellow again; and now what
sound is that? Yes, a yell from Said.
Surely he has seen. On to the sample
and briskly westward. -
" 'Have you seen, Said?"
" 'No, but behold—a camel track, and
I know this place.' "
The Inventor.

and shaking hands took the
Beat opposite me. I wine not
surprised to hear hint call for
absinthe.
"You are sitting at the table with an
unrecognized genius," he said. with-
out looking at me.
"Bo are your" I retorted. I wee
then a struggling art student in Pada.
"You laugh," he said, "but It is true.
Your voles is sympathetic, e',nd I wilt
tell you.'
"Thanks," I said,
"You are an artist, and have, un-
doubtedly, remarked the natural affin-
ity of colors. White, for instaoe, is
supposed to contain all colors."
He had hit on my favorite subjeot
for discussion, and I leaned back pre-
pared to listen.
"Have you observed," he asked ear-
nestly, "that people with blue eyes
have yellow hair?"
"The Irish," I answereda"have black
hair and blue eyes. It's a beentiful
combination."
"Yes; that's my point. I cern change
the color of the eyes."
"What!"
"You 'mix paints! You get green
from yellow and blue! You make a
oolor darker or lighter! You make
black with red and purple! I do the
same with eyes! A year ago 'I dia-
oovered an injection for the retina of
the eye that would change Its color.
Suppose you have light gray eyes. I
lnjeot such a colored fluid as will make
them black, blue—any color!"
I looked at his eyes. They were a
catfish green.
"My own eyes," he continued, "I
tried to change to green as an•adver-
tisement. It was before I had per-
fected my invention, and—I lost my
sight. Tell me, are my eyes green?"
I became conscious that he had been
gazing directly past me and had not
looked at me once. .
"You are blind?" I said. -
-Entirely," he answered indifferently.
"But what matters It? I have per-
fected my invention. Had I a. paltry
flve-franc piece I could make all the
women in the' world beautiful. Women
are the power of the world. Ah,
France, ma chore pntrie, then shouldst
thou rule the nations of the earth
again ! "
I handed hint a five -franc piece.
"Your story 1s worth it," I remarked,

THE CLINTO i NEW Ei -
A Woman's Plea For Man's.
Rights.
HE papers had a story the oth-
er day that the President had
refused promotion to an army
officer because he had jilted
his fiancee. Whether this 113
true or not, it's interesting.
The President is a etlivalrous Mart, and
whatever he did really do about the
officer's promotion, we may be sure that
he condemned him for his ungallant
behavior to the lady. Most men would
condemn him. To go back on your
best girl --especially when the wedding -
cards are printed . and the trouseeau
ready—is an offence few men would
condone. Singularly enough, women—
who are the sufferers by it -rare very
lenient to this infirmity of purpose.
I have'ofrten heard girls say, writes
Josephine Bonner in the "Argonaut,"
that they would rather be jilted' than
married to a man who had lost his at -
!eaten for them, and I think they told
the truth. When Pope said every wo-
man was at heart a rake be expressed
his idea in coarpe, eighteenth century
English. What he meant to saiy was
that every woman is at heart a seiitl-
mentalist, However fate and fortune
may make ,heti marry, she ham her lit-
tle dream of marrying for love. Pre-
supposing that she Is a "nice girl,"
she would rather be left like Arladne
than go on into the dark and unex-
plored places of matrimony with a man
who no longer cared for her. I am in-
clined to think her respect for the
man would not suffer much—might
possibly increase—if he had ,the temeri-
ty to rise up and tell her he filed- made
a mistake and did not love her. Wo-
men have been doing this themselves
since Pandora opened the box, and no-
body blamed them. It was a lady's
privilege to change her mind, and that
settled it. Maybe we are beginning to
feel that the privilege Is a little one-
sided, and that down -trodden man
ought now and then to have a holiday
when he, too, can have caprices and
not know whether he loves Polly or
Sally best.
There is. another point In his savor
which the men who condemn him do
not consider—the courage it takes. It
takes nerve to bead a cavalry charge In
battle, to stand up In a duel, to enter
a burning building, but it is nothing to
the nerve it must take to look a loving
woman in the eye and tell her you
font care for her. Men have not been
loing this for centuries as women have,
ed they do not really understand the
11 horror of it. I have no doubt many

whioh would be pitiful If they were not
grand—to spend a lifetime living such
a futile lie. It would be so little worth
while, so little' gala, for such a large
expenditure of suffering. Whereas, if
the man were not of the mould of
h.ross, let his wife see he had married
her under protest, and that she bored
him to death—what would be the gain
then? Even if she ted riot a grain of
pride, the woman could hardly be hap-,

ungrateful companionship. As for the.

be now and then extended to the male •
of the species.

The Origin of a Name.
DR. GEORGE DAVIDSON of the
University of California has been
wondering for four -years past
how Cape Nome got its name. Geogra-
phy 1s his special field, and it Is hie
professional concern to know the
wherefore of geographical names. But
"Nome" beat him. Ile set to work
to trace it back to its origin, and
the earliest appearance he could
find for 1t was in a British Ad-
miralty chart of 18511. That led him to
surmise that the cape was named by
• officers of the English Srlga.tes "Her-
ald" and "Plover" during an erfpedition
in search of Sir John Franklin. So he
wrote to the Admiralty Ofifee in Lon-
don to enquire if there were any
"Nomes" on the list of men who sailed
In those vessels. The reply, recently
communicated by -Dr. Davidson to the
"National Geographic Magazine," was
that when the chart in• question Was
first made, aboard -the "Herald," at-
tention was called to this point by the
mark (?Name). The chart was sent
home in, a hurry, and the draughtsman
who inked it made the mark read "C.
Name." But he did not, make his ''a"
distinctly, and the Admiralty hydro-.
grapher made It "C. Nome." And bo
Capp Nome the point has been ever
since, and is likely to remain 00 until
it gets rich enough to supporta board
of aldermen. Thpn its name 'will be

chiefs that aldermen can be trulfted to
