Masculine Superiority.

The compassion OF tho scorn with which
the masculine mind regards the female Of the
race begins so early in life that it is most
difficult to say whether it is the result Of imi-
tation or is one of the gifts Of intuition The
small boy feels himself superior to bis little
sister quite without regard to whether he or
she is the more clever. He is be and she is
only she
A small 5-year-old lad, in whom this sense
Of masculine superiority was not wholly lack
ing, was one day airayed in his first trousers.
Standing before his sister a couple Of years
younger, he drew himself up for her inspec-
ton, and then proceeded TO address her to
this effect.
"Kittie,' he said, you can't --,z wear
trousers"
He paused, apparently to let bis words take
their full effect.
"Iltte," he continued, you can't never
have a mustache.n
He paused again and let this dreadful an.
nounconent in its turn eat into his sisters
soul then he brought ont the climax with a
triumphant thrill in his voice more eloquent
thau any words could have been:
"kittie, you can'tneve be a man nohowl'
Poor, small Kittie, overwhelmed by these
successive statements, Of which she compre.
hended the import only as something IN

looked at her brother one agoni1od moment
and then gave vent to her anguish in one
Wild howl, which brought nurse from one
direction and mamma from another. AT
sight Of tho audience Hittie burst into tears
and lamentations piteous to behold, and
when the small boy was reproyed for making
his sister cry, his answer was:
"Well, just told her she'd always got to
be a girl, cause | thought she'd DO disap-
pointed il she got to be five and couldn't
have on trousers
There seemed to be nothing in particular
which could be said to this, and the elders de

Warmth nn.l sn,n.n1lnoes.

Warmth Is very important for the aged:
exposure to the chiIls should be scrupulously
avoided. Bronchitis is tho nalady most to
be feared, and its attacks are very easily PRO-
voked. Many old people suffer from more OF
less cough during the winter months, and
this symptom may recur year after year, and
be almost unheeded. AT last, perhaps a few
minutes exposure TO a cold wind increases
tho irritation in the lungs, the cough becomes
worse and the difficulty Of breathing ineroas-
es until sufocation terminates in death. To
obviate such risk tho skin should be carefully
protected by warm flannel olothes tho out
door Thermometer should be noticed and win
ter garments should always bo at hand. In
cold weather the lungs should be protected
by breathing through the nose as much as
possible, and by wearing a light wooleu or
sillzen muller over the mouth.-Naw York

HOT ELECTION IN cnEsrER.
Robinson Spending 500, 600 for Seat In
the State Senate.


the State Senate.
CHESTER, Pa, Nov. 4.-The streets OF
this city present an unusual spectacle
this evening. All is excitement among
the political workers, and the Republican
forces are handling money more openly
and freely than was ever seen in Della
ware county campaign before.
At the rate the money was flying to-
day the whole Of the 500, 900 which
Robinson is said to be willing to spend
for an election to the State Senate will
be used up by tomorrow night. Demo
Gratis are remaining true to their ticket
in spite of these efforts to induce them to
desert.
Word was received here tonight to the
effect that Robinson has instructed his
followers to knife William Thomas and
g. A. Hazlett, Republican nominees fer
prothOnotary and register of wills. This
is done in order to solidify the ticket. 1t
is not believed that Robinson's 5
followers viii cut Thomas and Halle,
unless the latter knife the Sena-
torial ticket; but by threating to carry
the whole ticket down with Robinson, If
he is to be beaten, they expect to make
the dissatisfied Republicans vote straight
Instead of doing this, however, they
have entered the fight against Robinson
with all the more energy.

surface rensIon Of r.lnnlna

Curious effects appear when iqnids having
superficial tensions are brought together.
and when solids containing volatile proper.
ties are thrown upon a liquid. With two
liquids that viii mix, as water and alcohol or
ether, the tension at the point becomes null,
and the lighter fluid spreads out over the
other. This is followed, according 70 NJ Van
der Mensbrugghe, by retreat OF this fluid
toward the point where it wes dropped ia
consequence of an increased tension given to
that point by the cooling that follows the
evaporation Of the dropped liquid. II the
liquids viii not mingle, as when oilor turpen-
tine is dropped on water, tho drop spreads
over the surface, forming a thin layer upon
it which is marked by beautiful plays Of
colors.
Nj. Devaux exenplifes one Of these effects
by an experiment in which tin boat, having
notch cut in the stern, is launched upon the
water. On letting drop Of alcohol fall at
the notch, the boat moves away as if driven
by some repulsion. There is, however, no
repulsion; but the tension astern has been do.
stroyed or diminished, while that forward
continues in full force to draw the boat on
ward. If a bit of camphor be substituted for
the alcohol, its vapor has the Same effect
upon the tension, and the boat may be made
to sail regularly, with considerable speed, for
hours This experiment is made more spec
tacular by furnishing the boat with a mast
carrying a fag.
In another experiment described by M.
Devaux. few granules OF camphor are
sprinlled upon mercury, and breathed upon

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
The PoII-Tnx nrIberr.

Philadelphia Telegraph.
The issue which has been raised be-
tween the Republican and Democratic
campaign committees in this city, con
cerning the payment Of poll.tax, is one
that is timely and ought TO be met and
finally decided without unnecessary de-
Icy. This is just the kind Of an cleo
tion, particularly so far as the state
contest is concerned, an of year, with no
important issues at stake, when such
matter can conveniently and wisely be
taken up and disposed of. For many
years this payment Of poll-t by political
committees had been q common scandal,
as well as q grieyous burden, demoraliz-
ing to all concerned. Ii is simply
the essence Of political bribery and noth-
ing else; nothing less can be made
out Of it. No committeeman presents
any voter with a tax receipt without
some practical assurance that his party
-and oftime himself--will be benefited
thereby. It is not matter OF benevo-
lonee. The receipts are not bought from
motives of kindly generosity, and in be-
half only of men unable to pay fer them,
regardless Of their political pro
clivities or intentions. One com
mittee picks out from the registry list
