Why Will Women Giggle7

want, says writer in San Fran
cisco paper, some profound student OF
female character to write an eXplana-
ton of why women giggle; always
giggle; with and without cause; when
you expect them to and when You
don't; whether you are funny or ar
talking about your debts. | pro-
pounded this conundrum to my com
rade recently, and that gloomy philos-
opher gave answer: Because they
have been taught for thousands of
years that unless woman always
eiggles men suspect her of wearing
blue stockings, and flee from her, rs
from a creditor Now, do not be-
lieve this is so, if for no other reason
than that women did not wear stock
ings thousands of years ago, so, man
ifestly, could not have Worn blue. |
am willing to believe that most men
who do not read the Wasp are fools,
yet think there are enough who are
not to form Il small circle of admirers
for the encouragement of women, who
can not be estimated at from 90 to
40 pounds of giggle. / really believe
am right in my supposition, and
earnestly beg of some well-favored
young woman to act upon the sugges-
ii II. Let her 90 to the next party firm
in the determination to giggle only
when she is sure the man who is talk
ing to her thinks he is amusing. Let
her refrain from giggling when he tells
her of the death of rich uncle who
failed to mention him in his will. Let
her suppress her giggle-no matter
how frightful the etfort-when he asks
her seriously whether or not her SYM
pathies are with the striking telegraph
ers. ki her comport herself after this
fashion for one whole evening, and if
she does not receive twenty proposals
for marriage she will at least have the
satisfaction of knowing that she stands
high in the estimation of twenty men
as a curiosity.

A Strange Companionsaip,

William Brinkerhoil Of this city, is
the owner of an aquarium. Al one
time it was well stocked with gold ilsh,
which, however, through the neglect OF
a careless servant, became reduced 10
a single survivor This one has been
the object of the most jealous care on
the part of Mr. Brinkerhoff, who OBJ
iocted strenuously to the introduction
into his household in July last of
large Maltese cat, the pet OF his
Youngest daughter. The child, how
ever, overrued her fathers objections
and secured a berth for her pet, prom
Using to guard the gold fish from its at
tentions.
That she had not kept this engage
ment was to-day proved to her father
as he entered the little parlor OF his
residence and found the cat its sole oc-
cupant save the gold fish in the globe,
for which grimalkin was evidently pre-
pairing to make fishing excursion.
For this purpose, apparently, it leapcd
upon a chair at one side of the glass.
The fish showed signs of conscious
ness of the cats approach, but no
fear. On the contrary, il rubbed its
nose against the glass and splashed its
tail in the water as if to attract the
cats attention. The goldfish came to
the surface blowing in manner which
Mr.. Brinkerhotf characterizes as i'm
patient Upon this the cat, raising
itself on the edge of the bowl, reached
over paw The gold fish swan
gently directly under it, when the cat
softly stroked its back, purring mean
while with great contentment.
The fish, however, seemed still I'M
satisfied, and, darling away from its
strange companion, swan rapidly
about the bowl and then sought bottom,
The cat remained in its position as if
puzzled Shortly afterward the fish
came to the surface again and snapped
at fly which was crossing the water
and rested after having done so on the
edge of the bowl. The cat, seeming
to appreciate the situation, with a
single swift movement caught the fly
and dropped it into the mouth of its
tinny friend The latter then submit
ted contentedly to the back scratching
endearment which it had before re-
scented. Mr. Brinkerhoti ascertained
from his little girl that the strange
companionship had existed for some
weeks, but she had feared to tell Of it,
as her negligence had allowed It's for
nation. -PhiIadelphi0 Times.

For THE HERALD.
To the Town Council.

GENTLEMEN:-Yourt term Of Office is fast
drawing to close, and we feel we must give
you parting word. We will not be harsh
with you Will deal with you gently, but
justly, as you have many poor devils who
fell in your way.
"You tried them justly. and fined them
too;
Who was tbe bigger devil, they or you?"
One breaks the law, the other negiects
duty. Who is the greater criminal, the
sentinel who slept upon his post, and
through bis neglect the army was lost, or
the soldier who is caught mapping up sour
apple tree? You gentlemen are the sleeping
sentinel. Did you know that you had a
chief, and he had duties? "No"-yes, that
tall, majestic, young athlete standing over
the way, that's him. Oh, he was TOO slow
for Us. Put him on retired list, got little
gem in his place though. Is not exactly a
walking prayer-book, but is as good on the
catch, and the best on witness, as ever
slung baton. Never wants any evidence,
when he has had his say; couldn't do without
HIM. Didn't want to strike the old bird un-
der the wing, see ? Well, he is chief all
the same. and one of his multiple duties is
to be present every morning at the opening
of the market, see that DoLe but good and
wholesome meats be sold. The only market
he is present at, and the only meats inspect
ed. is at Mrs. IS breakfast table. Facts,
gentlemen, facts. If somebody has died this
year from eating impure food, who bears the
responsibility? Sad thing for you to think
of in that last great day. 1t is another one
of his many duties, to inspect, from time to
time, all weights and measures, see that the
poor are not defrauded. Now, all the meas
ure and weight he has inspected was pint
cup, when he wanted it full of pinders. That
cup was badly deficient, as he had to double
heap it, and cup il, with his ponderous hand
to get pint. Now, If all weights and meas
ures in town are as sadly defective as that

one PINT CUP, then what have the people
been swindled ont of in one year, all by your
not knowing You had chief, and be had
duties Upon whose head does the respon-
sibility rest ? And did it ever occur to your
body that We bad damp spell while back,
and the streets anything utdusty and that
you sholld do something to better them
So? You were notexpected TO macadamize
or underground them, but do what the old
Council did-would have done. Neglect,
neglect, gentlemen. You condemn the
yiolator; you stand condemned. Councils
before you have left behind them works and
monuments that will stand as lasting praise
to their power and ability; works that COM
ing generations will look with honor and
admiration upon and sing the praises to their
founders. What have you left behind you
that viii stand as living monuments to YOUR
administration. Three street lamps, assis-
taut chief of Police and lanp-lighter:
"Shades of C@sarw Why did you not as
easily and at less expense appoint an assistant
, chief Mayor. four assistant chief wardens,
and one chief lamp-lighter. 1t would nave
given tone to yeur administration, dignity to
the town and satisfaction TO the people.
But, gentlemen, we make no triumphant
yell at your departure. Put your hands IN
your breeches-pockets and pass quietly under
the arch. You have the sympathy OF the
populace. Tell your successors you are glad
your time is out. Tell all the boys you were
sorry they elected you, and would not serve
again for any thing. They will believe you,
but the people viii say there goes the sagest
set Of Councilmen that has served from Gil
bal's time down. PRESTO.

CULTURE WITH A VENGEANCE
An examination of the younger
children of the public schools of
Boston, made by DR.. Stanley Hall,
showed that .1S per cent. Of the
number had no knowledge of a cow,
further than that gained from pic
lures; 81 per cent. of those examin-
ed had never seen corn growing;
90 per cent. did not know where
their ribs were not exactly what
they were, while only 6 per cent.
were ignorant Of the locations of
their stomachs. Some Of the chill
dren stated that flour came from
the grocer, who gets it directly from
God; others said that meat is dug
from the ground or picked up from
the meat tree. From these facts
DR.. Hall deduced two other facts
that gross ignorance of practical
things may exist side by side with
very thorough book knowledge
and that some modification Of the
kindergarten method is necessary
in the instruction of the young.

"This is only one instance. Travelling as
I do in both States, see herelative progress
of both, and South Carolina is not left be-
hind. But whenyou 90 North you find thai
Georgia is considered phenomenon OF pro
gress, while South Carolina is not heard Of
industrially. The reason is that your people
don't brag enough in the papers and out o.
them. Why, the Georgians boast so mucn
about themselves that they convince not only
outsiders but themselves. The people OF
Atlanta talk as if that city were intermediate
in size between New York and London. They
are o pushing people and they advertise

blanket to warm the Union under. Ii
short, the people Of Georgia have sublime
selE.satisfaction which, while not altogether
admirable, certainly helps them great DEAL
for they are so well pleased with themselves
that they satisfy others with their condition
I don't think South Carolina need go into
such ecstasies about themselves, but if they

progress they would get along better. Ihey

It is said that the Hon. Richar

It is said that the Hon. Richard
Crowley of New York, who has
been retained to assist Melton in
the political prosecutions in our
State will get a handsome fee. 1t
would require big fee to induce
lawyer Of any respectability and
self respect to engage in the sort OF
business in which Melton is now
reveling. This is especially true
in view of the fact that he will get
nothing but the fee. And if Mr..
Crowly wants a fee and nothing
but fee, he is looking in the right
direction, for Uncle Sam is able to
pay handsomely. But if he is look
ing forward to the election trials
for anything else that an honora-
BILE man would care to receive, he
is in a fair way to get more than an
ordinary share of disappointment.

The State Agricultural Depart
ment, in report based upon 1Sl re-
ports of special correspondent rep
resenting every County in the State,
shows that the number Of acres
planted in wheat this season, is
184,654 acres against 201,S15 last
year. The acrease in oats is 332,-
929 against 362,373 acres last year.
The number Of acres in rye has de-
creased 5 per cent, and in barley, 6
per cent. Grain sown early is re-
| ported in the best condition, by SO
correspondents, and that sown late,
by II correspondents. The condition
| of work stock is reported to be 9
| per cent. better than at this time
last wear, owing to the fine grain
crop of 1882. 1852 tons of com
| mercial fertilizers were used last
wear, and it is estimated that 76,-
2O6 tons will be used this year.
The financial condition of the
farmers is reported better than last
year by 115 correspondents, un
changed by six, and not as good by
seven. The reports generally agree
that higher wages are demanded
and poorer services rendered by
laborers this year than last. One
hundred and twenty-five correspon
dents report that less farm supplies
will be purchased this year than last
and three estimate that the purchase
will be larger.
The statements are based upon
| indications on the first Of March.

and successful general agent of large
Northern mandatory Of improved agricul.
tural machinery, sis that she doesn't adver-
tiSe herself sufficiently. People outside
don't know what she is doing. Her own
people don't do her justice, was struck by
She truth of an editorial in The News and
Courier, a couple of months ago, making o
comparison of the agricultural progress of
South Carolina and Georgia duriag the last
two years. Giving the figures which showed
that this State had increased her farm pro-
ducts since 1880 much more rapidly than
Georgia had done, the article insisted that
the phrase Poor old South Carolina"
should cease from the lips of her sons, and
argued that the idea Of many of our people
that their State was behind others of tie
South in material advancement was unjust
and Injurious. That is the exact fact. Peo-
pie here are too modest by half To have
their achievements known they must speak

Rotation in office is a correct pol.

Rotation in Office is a correct pol
icy in representative governments,
for the Office holders should be
taught that the Offices which are in
trusted to them do not belong to
them. But there are certain offices
in which frequent changes would be
not only unwise, but hurtful to a
proper administration Of the affairs
of the government. 1t certainly is
silly to say that nc man should be
elected to an Office, who is not ac-
quainted with the duties Of that
Office, just as it was absurd Tor the
father to forbid his son to venture
in the water before he had learned
to swim. But for the people to re-
quire an honest and capable man
to give up an Office as soon
as he has learned how to discharge
its duties properly, would be no
less absurd than for the father
to forbid his son to venture in the
water after he has learned to swim.

AS early as 1921, Thomas Jeffer-
son speaking of the race problem,
said, Nothing is more certainly
written in the book Of fate than
that these people the negroes) are
to be free; nor is it less certain that
the two races, equally free, cannot ex-
ist in the same government These
words of the illustrious statesman
will be interesting to students of
the probable destiny Of 'our brother

phetic utterances, the first Of which
has been fulfilled.
