WOMAN has often been the cause of
international complications from the
time when Helen provoked the Trojan
war and Anthony sacrificed kingdom
for Cleopatra. 1t is not often, however,
that a single kiss threatens to disturb
diplomatic relations in these modern
days. That was the situation in Russia
recently, when, on Il public thorough
fare, Turkish officer and his student
companion forcibly kissed Russian
woman. The Turkish government de-
manded the offenders and promptly sent
them to prison for their offense. The
pretext for war was thus removed, and
the incident that might have become
historical passes into oblivion.
The Boston Pilot advises strike
against the census takers, and says I'm
agine the feelings of IL business man
who has to hand to such irresponsible
persons perhaps well known to him,
and perhaps not friendly to him, a state
ment of how much he owes, of the ex-
tent of mortgage on his property, etc, or
OF any citizen, male or female, who has
to give toa local questioner and possible
critic full detail of debts, diseases
and personal defects, how long he or
she has been diseased or deformed,
whether he owns the house in which he
lives, or if not, who does own it, and
what is the post Office address of the
owner, etc. These questions are not
proper for a census-taker, surely. They
were suggested not by public need; they
can have no scientific value;th spring,
apparently, from insurance detectives,
mercantile agencies, or possible black
mailers. A strike against such census
reports is one of the probabilities. Mean
while, the public ought to find out the
particular official who is responsible for
these questions.

FIGHTING AN EAGLE.

A Ram, Aided by q FArmer. Wins After .

in the wool on the back Of tho buck and
commenced to beat the now frightened
sheep with Its ponderous wings When
1t had tired Of this the eagle lett the
demoralized ram and pounoed upon the
lamb. The ram again returned to the
fight, butting the eagle under It's right
wing, causing 1t to drop its prey. Then
the fight between bird and animal WAS
resumed with renewed vigor, the Latter
being assisted this time by Mr.. Shd6ar,
who had arrived on the Goene with. .

aim and the eagle fell dead, It's neck be-

The farmer loosened its talons from

a clover Novel Oonstructe0 ~ . Boston
Infant OF Thirteen.
The Boston Globe prints the follow
ing novelette, written by child Of thir-
teen years:
Mary Summers hired herself to
wealthy gentleman in New York by the
name Of Robert Gothray.
Mary had q lover whose name was
Charlie stutston.
One night Charlie came to see Mary,
and she saw that he was greatly agi-
tated; he hastily sat down in q chair
and in hot and angry words told her he
had reason to know that she had been
false to him.
Mary was overwhelmed by this sudden
outburst, and it was all she could do to
refrain from bursting into tears, but
with Q mighty effort she succeeded in
appearing calm.
She earnestly entreated him to put
aside all such thoughts as the ones
which he entertained and they would
again be friends, "for," she said, "they
are all false and untrue"
But he turned q deaf ear to all her en-
treaties, and bidding her ''hold her
tongue" angrily departed from the
house.
Mary went to her room and, throwing
herself upon the bed, cried herself to
| sleep.
Weeks and months passed on and
nothing had she heard from Charlie,
until one day Mr.. Gothray brought her q
t1etter bearing strange postmark.
Eagerly tearing open the envelope she
| found the letter as follows:
| my DEAR MARY: After much pain and sor-
| row found It all mistake about your false
| ness. and I now know you are ~ true to me a.
| any girl In the world, and sincerely and hum
| bly, beg your pardon, and II you viii only say
| Yes will come home and we win DO married.
Your CHARLIE"
Mary was overjoyed at the news she
had received; she immediately sat down
and wrote him a letter, the substance OF
which was that she would comply with
his wish.
Mary gave the letter to Mr.. Gothray
and requested him to mail it for her.
He promised that he would, and put
it in his coat pocket.
Time passed and no answer came from
Charlie. Mary grew inpatient
One day Mr.. Gothray had lost some
valuable papers, and IN searching his
pockets came across Mary's letter. He
gave it to Mary, and was in the act Of
apologizing when she stopped him, say
ing:
"Mr. Gothray, you do not know how
much misery and disgrace you saved me
from by not mailing that letter. This,
holding up the letter, CONTAINS a prom
Use to be his wife. And just the othe,
day I heard that he had been csugh1
stealing valuable articles and is now II
prison. Mr.. Gothray, 1 can never repay
you for this neglect, which has saved me
from life Of disgrace"

PECULIAR PLANTS.

In the Botanical Garden Of the Gov
eminent Is the ''cruel plant" which 10
30 designated because 1t catches butter
dies and kills them for sheer sport
Its flowers attract the poor little duo-
terer by the honey 1t offers, and when tho
victim lights upon it it grabs the but
terdy by the head and holds 1t fast until
the captive dies. Then the flower drops
it on the ground and lies in wait for .
fresh unfortunate.
A CURIOUS looking tree from the 18TH
mus of Panama bears q round red fruit
as big as an apple, which has this re-
markable faculty, that its juice, when
rubbed on tough beef or chicken, makes
the meat tender by the chemical power it
IL interested to observe in the botanical
greenhouse three kinds of plants that

Of plant.
SEVERAL specimens of hygometric
club moss from Mexico wefe recently
presented to the Royal Botanic Socie ty
Of London. In calling attention to
them the secretary stated that these
plants have the power, asoribed to the
well-known rose of Jericho, of rolling
themselves up like ball and becoming
apparently dead and then reviving on
being exposed again to moisture. The
specimens shown had been kept in a dry
state for three months, but were again
green and fourishipg.
A VERY funny plant in the Govern
ment Botanical Garden is the so-called
barber plant, the leaves of which are used
in some parts Of the East by rubbing
on the face to keep the beard from grow
ing. 1t is not supposed to have any eff
fect on beard that is already rooted,
! but merely to act as preventive, boys
employing it to keep the hair from get
ting a start on their face. It Is also
employed by some Oriental people who
desire to keep parts OF their heads free
from hair, as matter OF fashion.
