A Wild Woman in Missouri.

A nude colored woman, wild as a
gorilla, is startling the people of the
MARVEL section, twenty miles out on the
Midland railroad. She has been seen
several times, and the last time threw a
young lady who was MISUNDERSTANDING
into hysteria, and with grunt, not un-
like that of wild hog, jumped up and
ran into the forest. At the time of her
discovery she was burrowing into the
side of the road catching and eating
crawfish, which she ate, claws, hide and
all. As yet nothing can be ascertained
as to her identity, but steps will be taken
to that end. She is very black, and
foams at the mouth when angry like q
wild animal at bay.-GIobe Democrat.

A New Profession.

IL regard electrical engineering as
one especially suited for educated wo-
men," says Mr.. Greer. 'Now, / should
think this might be matter of special
interest in Massachusetts, where it is
said you have $4,000 more women than
men. There are, it is safe to say, 100,-
900 too many lawyers and doctors and
teachers in this country. Every pro-
fession is overcrowded, and the RESULT is
mediocrity and II constant struggle
against the limit of conditions. A new
profession is an incalculable public bene-
fit. Electrical engineering can be learn
ed in one-half the time given to the
study of law and medicine. Great for
tunes have already been made in its pur-
suit. The enormous extension OF the tel
egraph, the telephone, the electric light,
and, as will be, the electric railway,
creates great demand for skilled cleo
tricians."
"What is the foundation required
educationally, to enable one to learn
electrical engineeringp
"a good mathematical and scientific
education, such as the scientific course
of our universities confer"
'Another important demand also for
electrical power" continued Mr.. Greer,
sis the distribution of power to manu-
factories, shops, and all kinds of me-
chanical work. There is no doubt that
in time such vast extension of works as
those of Sheffield, England, will distri-
butte the entire power required from one
central electrical appliance. 1t may
even be given to the workmen individu-
ally at their cottages, and thus avoid
what Ruskin calls the ''thundering dev-
lis of machinery and the crowding of
men into these great factories. Dos

Beauty of the Telephone.

The way it all came about was this.
Her husband keeps q grocery store
down town, and owing to the highly in
fammable temper of his wife, he don't
like to linger much around the family
hearth-stone, but while away the most
of his time within the precincts of his
store. The recent introduction of tele-
phone, however, afforded his wife an
opportunity to air her peculiar views on
various topics, and the effect on her
husband was most discouraging.
One day she called him up and opened
out on him at long range in the follow
ing style:

his wife met him in the doorway.

empty-handed and his fine features
bathed in an idiotic smile.

A Ory for More Oysters.

At the same time that the more
thoughtful and observant are uttering
protests against the extinction by whole
sale dredging. of the oysters of the
Chesapeake and its tributaries, there
comes cry from England for more
American oysters. The New York
Herald quotes from private business
circular which has found its way into
the Office of that paper. The circular
in question is u piteous appeal to be
furnished with more oysters, on the
ground that the supply in the English
market falls below the demand. The
trader in question states that nearly
twenty-eight million American bivalves
were eaten in England between the mid
die of October and the day of the new
year. Between March and May is the
season for planting, and when the de-
mand on this account is supplied it is
estimated that no less than fifty millions
of our oysters will have been either de-
voured or naturalized in Great Britain.
This exhibit only makes it more appar-
ent that the oyster beds of the Chesa-
peake and its tributaries-th chief
source of supply for the most succulent
bivalves-must be protected from de-
pletion, if an industry promising such
large proportions and valuable returns
is to be fostered. There is food in this
English circular for the Maryland and
Virginia Legislatures.

Wouldn't be Caught.

The editor of the Texas Siftings re-
Gently took trip across the State, and
to judge by the following incident he
had lively time:
stopping at water-hole, l dis
mounted" he says, ''and handed the
doctor cup of water. In returnlngthe
cup he let it fall on the ground, startling
my pohy and causing him TO run about
fifty yards.
''As he stopped and began to Craze, /
paid no attention TO him, expecting,
after attending to the demands of my
thirsty throat, to walk up to him and
mount.
''He let me walk to within five PAGES
of his head. He had no objection 20
my walk. The fact is, and L regret to
bear witness to it, he seemed rather to
enjoy seeing me walk.
Just as L was about to reach out to
catch the bride, he walked OFF. Then
/ began to run. So did he. He evil
IDENTITY enjoyed this acceleration of
speed on my part, even more than he
had previously enjoyed my walking
gait. He ran short distance with his
head down, apparently chuckling to
himself at my discontinue; then, throw
ing his heels up in the air, he cantered
around me in u circle, neighing in de-
risive manner.
"When stopped he would stop, and
wait until almost caught up with him.
He was always on the alert, however,
and stood with his tail elevated. ready
to go off at the slightest increase of
speed in my movements.
"What added to the interest of the
entertainment was. that when the vile
mustang started, the coffee-pot and other
loose articles of virtu attached to the
saddle kept Hopping around, increasing
his hilarity and causing him to perform
gratuitous antics that no one would
have thought the brute capable of per-
forming.
1.-THE result of this was that, from the
moment he started to run, he began
shedding my portable property, loose
articles first, then the contents of my
saddle-bags, one article at time, leav-
ing q train of tin-ware and notions to
mark his cratic course.
This necessitated following in his
tracks, that might pick up my scat
tered belongings. Here, toothbrush
there, bar of soap; over yonder, q
towel hanging on withered cactus; and
the cotfee-pot, with the handle broken
and the lid gone, jammed among the
thorns; further on, my notebook in 6
puddle of water, and the photograph o.
somebody with golden hair smiling a
me out of bunch of violet-colOreC
| flowers.
"After two hours spent in fruitles'
endeavor to catch my pony, and after
trying all manner of deceitful devices
to entrap him, such as walking up to
ward him with handful of choice
grass, and offering it to him in the mos
