nn..Iap Women in the Fast.

Tn olden times the position OF women
{, Prussia was deplorable. and, as else
:, there ID has only improved by de
rrees Herberstein declares that no
syon,au was deemed virtuous unless
he lived in domestic seclusion and
sos ss-os never seen outside home; and
Tenkinson says that, except on their
gav to church at Christmas and Easter
or when paying visits, it was an acci
dant if YOU ever saw a Russian lady.
This habit has survived more or less
even tc this century, for Bremner
sneaks of the women as guarded with
oriental seclusion," and Theophile
Gautier attests the same thing. So
strong in the Sixteenth century was
the prejudice against women that even
fowls or animals killed by their hands
were regarded as unclean; and often,
Il their husbands were absent, they
might be seen standing at their doors
and begging some passer-by to per-
form for them the butchers office.
Not infrequently the murder of
husbands avenged the maltreatment
of wives; TO meet which a law was
ordained that for this crime women
should be buried with their heads only
above the ground, there to be left till
thew were starved TO death. In olden
DAYS marriages were always arranged
by intermediates, and no one would
have dreamed of conducting his own
suit
One of the most popular changes
effected by Peter the Great was the
regulation that no couple should be
married without the consent of both
parties, and that they should be al
lowed to meet for at least six weeks
before marriage The intending bride
groom sent his future wife such sym
bolical presents as needles and thread,
raisins and fruit, and a whip.
On the wedding day there was al
WAYS the show of resistance on the
part of the bride SO common every
where; the bride would resist to the
uttermost leaving her house to go to
the church, and would sob and make
a great noise all the way thither. In
the church it was etiquette for her to
fall down at her husbands feet, and to
knock her head on his shoe in token
of her subsection. 1t is said that for
three days after marriage she risked
her character if she spoke more than a
few words at mealtime with great
manners and reverence" to her hus-
band. was customary for husbands
to make their wives and daughters an
allowance for paint, and so fond were
the ladies of this mode of adornment
that Jenkinson compared them tc
millers' wives who looked as if they
had been beaten about the face with
bags of meal. The Gentleman's Maya

What Is Electricity?

AS the use of electricity becomes
more general there is increased curl
osity to learn what it is, says The Elec-
trio Power. 1t is considered mys-
FERROUS force, because in it's normal
condition it cannot be seen. The wire
which conveys the current gives no
manifestation of the energy which is
passing through it. Just as the poet
said, We take no note of time save
from its loss" So with electricity, it
must be measured as it flies. 1t is true,
however, thSt its laws are perfectly
understood. Is it necessary that we
should know what it isl Nothing is
more familiar to us than the action of
gravitation. We know that it is the
attraction of the earth. 1t holds the
atoms of the earth together and en-
ables us to perform all of the opera.
tons which make up our daily life.
1t is, however, a mystery, but its laws
are as well known, and if we violate
them by jumping off a precipice
should we consider the force of gravity
necessarily dangerous2 Steam is also
something of a mystery. 1t has been
familiar to mankind since the dawn of
civilization, yet how many people
know that it is transparent and there
fore invisible until it comes in contact
with the air?

How to Stop a Runaway Horse.

When you see a runaway coming
do not try TO check him by rush from
the opposite direction or the side, for
you will be Immediately knocked flat
by the collision, but instead prepare
yourself for a short run with the
horse. Measure with your eye the
distance and start for the run while he
is yet some way off, perhaps ten feet
in the case of fair to medium run.
Always. You may depend upon his
keeping a straight line, for a really
frightened horse is half blind, and
would not veer for a steam engine.
He will go straight ahcNd until he
smashes into something. So do you
get close to the line on which he is
rushing, and, as he passes you, grab
the reins near the saddle. Gather the
reins firmly, and then, leaning back
ward as you run, give them a power
full yank. You may be able to brace
yourself somewhat as you give this
yank, half sliding on your feet. The
strong jerk on the bit tells the horse
that he again has a master, and pre-
pares him for the final struggle. A
step or two forward after the first
yank, do il again. This is the finish
ing stroke It never fails when given
by determined man. The horse is
on its launches. Keep firm pull on
the reins till you grasp the horse by
the nostrils, and hold him so until he
is pacified. Southern Cultivator.

the sight. What are you going to do

Cheque Banks.

The very latest importation of an
English notion in New York is an inno-
walton in banking circles, known as the
cheque bank, which has opened up a
branch Of the London institution. The
system is totally different to that of any
other banking institution, for the reason
that its assets are invested in govern
ment securities, and that it does not dis
count notes or bills like other banks. In
addition to this they never issue check
until the value of the check is deposited
in the bank. A customer opening up an
account with the bank deposits, for in
stance, 81 900 and receives check book,
with checks to the value of 81, 900, each
having its value distinctly printed and
perforated upon its face. The customer
may fill out a check for less than its
face value, and the difference will go to
his credit, cash for which will be paid or
added to a new book. 1t is intended to
furnish these checks cheaper than the
rates charged for international exchange,
arrangements being made with desig-
mated bankers in 1000 cities of Europe
to honor them, and ultimately they will
be accepted by shopkeepers.- st. Louis

The .sEncycIopedia britannica. -

It is interesting to note the fact that,
of the $4,000 copies of the ''Encyclo-
pedia Britannica" sold, 10000 have
gone to the United States. The Amer
leans, therefore, have bought four
times as many copies of the encycIo-
pedia as the English, although the
work is of English conception and pub
LEGATION. This, at first sight, would
seem to show that the Americans have
a greater taste for solid literature than
the English. 1t may merely mean,
however, that there are more public
libraries in America than England, as
is no doubt the case. London Life.

SHE WAS POISONED

Not by anything she drank or took, but
by bad blood. Is it any wonder she
feels "blue?" In most cases blues are
only another name for bad blood. A man
or woman feels unhappy. Life seems
dark. The heart is heavy. Bad blood is
carrying its poison all over the body, and
we call it "blues."

A Country Where There Are Nine Women
to Ono Man.


All travellers who 90 to Paraguay speak of
the remarkable preponderancs Of women
over men. The estimates differ greatly,
some writer's making the ratio nine women
to one man. and Others four or five to one;
but the country is inhabited mainly by
women. three-fourths of the men having
been killed in the recent disastrous war.
Women are the workers in the field
the common laborers. Every peas
ant woman raises the maize and
mandioca required for feeding her family.
Men cut wood, tend cattle, drive to market
and smoke cigarettes, but the bulk of the
farm work is done by women. The tea and
tobacco industries are almost wholly carried
ON by women. Paraguay is a paradise for
lazy men, for they are the lords of creation
there, and women not only wait upon them
submissiyely, bat labor arduously under a
tropical sun for their maintenance and sup
port. Immigration is ardently desired in or
der to effect a restoration of the normal pro-
portions of the sexes. A progressive rail-
way policy, it is assumed in Asuncion,
will involve the speedy settlement of the
country and will open the way for an era of
prosperity. Certainly unhappy Paraguay
deserves, after all its misfortunes, brighter
prospects in the future. The pathos Of its
history touches every sympathetic heart
1t has been the :unhappiest of countries
Unless all signs fail it will have peace and
prosperity eafter.-Correspondenc New
