The Noble Art of self-Defsnse

Brigands were not the only ones who
preyed upon travellers in Italy thirty-five
years ago; the fachini, or native porters,
were about as rapacious, and their de-
mands were generally sustained by the
local magistrates But ON one occasion
their usual tactics did not meet with the
expected success. A boat containing two
young Englishmen approached the quay
of a little seaside town. Not only was
their nationality unmistabable, but they
appeared-what they afterward turned
out to be-university men in the prime of
"biceps.", On the boat touching the quay,
it was boarded by half dozen fachini,
each one attempting to grab something,
were 1t only an umbrella, for which to
claim payment. In vain did the travellers
struggle to select two, which was more
than enough for all their requirements.
Each porter 0bstinately clung to what
he had seized, and refused to part with it.
One of them at last sprang on shore, fol-
lowed by young Englishman, who, find
ing he could not regain possession of his
property, incontinently knocked his man
down. This was the signal for general
assault upon the travellers, who, from the
beautifully scientific way in which they
handled their fists, must have been pupils
of some great master in the noble art OF
self-defense. In less time than it takes TO
write it, six porters were lying In q heap
on the quay; they were so taken by sur
prise they had not even time to draw their
knives, and so demoralized that those who
were not too stunned to do so crawled of,
leaving the two travellers to carry their
own luggage triumphantly into the hotel.

Complaint of Woman Who, Though Not

A woman weighing three hundre d
and siXty-nine pounds, wearing her hair
cut short, entered the Office of the pres
ident of the San Antonio Street Railroad
Company, and in voice that was a
cross betweena bass violin and a boiler
shop said:
Il came here to complain of the
driver of one of your cars"
What's he been doing?" asked the
official.
I'm crossing the car track had the
misfortune to slip and fall, and could

''He said if | would get up and LET

the exact time that the vessel went
down. no doubt.
about the middle of September we
found that we had got out all that could
be rescued that was of any value at all,
and all that was left was to see that
nothing of the vessel was left sticking
up far enough to be an obstruction in
the way of commerce. We satisfied
ourselves that the highest point of the
vessel left was twelve fathoms below
the surface. The foremost had fallen
when she went down, and the main
mast and smoke-stacks were swept
away by the heavy waves made by
storms. All was without the possibility
of doing harm, and on September 9th
we came away.
"The amount that we will receive
for cur services can not be fixed until
the underwriters have ascertained the
value of cargo recovered, as our COM
pensation comes in the form of per-
centage, the proportion of which is, in
every instance dependent uponlstife-
value of the recovery and the difficult
ties attendant upon the work of sal
wage. The underwriters generally fix
the amount OF percentage to be allowed.
People who know little about such mat
tiers are apt to be surprised at our per-
centages and think that we must make
enormous fortunes on every wreck.
But they do not know the cost of the
work to us. We have to keep large
and expensive force ready all the time,
and our fires banked ready for instant
service. We have been as much as five
months with nothing to do, yet under
heavy expenses all the time. And then
when we get to work, see what our ex-
penditure must amount to. The fact
is that there is very much less profit
and far more risk of capital and dan
ger to life in our busin IS than per-
sons outside marine circles have any
idea of. For saving the material of a
vessel we get from fifty to seventy per
cent. of its value. The allowance on
salvage of cargo depends upon circum-
stances, and is either privately agreed
upon with owners or left to the settle
ment of the underwriters. - Cincin-

A WEIGHTY PROBLEM.


Present Phases of the Questions Per
tanning to the Higher Education o
Woman.
OF late years this question of woman
work has passed into another phase,
and the cruX now is, not so much how
they can be provided with work ade.
quately remunerat9d, but how they can
fit themselves for doing itwithout dam.
age to their health and those interests
of the race and society which are bound
up with their well-being. This is the
real difficulty, both of the higher educa
ton and of the general circumstance
surrounding the self-support of women.
For the strain is severe, and must be,
if they are to successfully compete with
men-unden' ably the stronger, both ir
mind and body, in intellectual grasp
and staying power, in the faculty OF
origination, the capacity for sustained
effort, and in patient perseverance
under arduous and it may be d stasteful
labor. But the dream and the chief
endeavor of women now is to do the
same work us men alone have hitherto
done-which means that the weaker
shall come into direct competition with
the stronger-the result being surely a
foregone conclusion. This is the
natural consequence of the degradat on
by women themselves of their own
more fitting work, so that female
doctor, for the present. holds higher
social position than does the resident
goyerness, while Il telegraph girl may
be q lady. but shop girl can not.
For well-paid intellectual work a
good education is naturally of the first
necessity, and the base on which all the
rest is founded. Wherefore, the higher
education has been organized more as
a pra ;tical equipment than us an out

of women to learn where they have

What Would Follow.

Were such thing possible as che
substitution of chemical for animal
and vegetable food, some very curious
results would follow. An article in
scientific journal says that the man of
the future will be toothless and hair
less. As there will be no need for
teeth in assimlating a nutrient that
would probably be liquid in form, the
human teeth might, from want of use,
disappear or become documentary.
Then fat people would disappear, for
chemistry would control the cond tions
which lead to the formation of adipose
tissue If there would be less work
for the human stomach, the alb lomen
would diminish in sizy, while. possibly,
the lungs might be still further en-
larged. But the general digestive APP
paratus would be in better shape, as
the chemistry of food could be adapted
to every variety CT system. This all
may seem very wild. but in view of
what science has done in the world
about us, what may it not accomplish,

cesses are applied directly to the hu
