Woman's Dangerous Rival.

Why is it that the books in the house
usually belong to the men? says the
Cleveland Press. Married women sell
dom accumulate them, but speak of
the room used for reading and writing
as 'my husbands library" And,
verify, it is his. The other rooms in the
house the husband and wife enjoy in
common, but in this the wife abdicates
all right-eXcept the right to keep it in
order. Perhaps there is shelf in
some corner where she has tucked
away row of school books-a French
grammar, botany, a universal history
relics of her seminary days.
These she dusts carefully and touches
caressingly as she passes. opens one
leaved clover is pinned. She was ac-
counted intellectual in that day. But
where are the books she then planned
to read-the novelists who were tc
amuse, the poets who were to soothe,
the philosophers who were to help he1
to live nobly, the scientists who were
to assist her to apply classified knowl,
edge" to everyday affairs? They are
not here, and she signs as she proceeds
with the busting.
Women have many temptations tc
spend their small change-not for to,
bacco or at the bar, but for bits OF
bric-a-brac, trifies for personal adorn,
ment, embroidery silks, and table
delicacies. Some women may shot
three times week and leave none Of
their money at the booksellers unless
they buy books for gifts. To such al
books are alike. They care not fol
differences in quality of paper or size
of print, and so long as the binding is
pretty no matter if it be not durable
The experience of buying book tc
read would be quite novel with many
women.
The libraries of the city furnish
them with enough for their leisure hours
Were they willing to sacrifice some OF
the luxuries which they have to con-
slider necessities-the extra gloves, the
quaint teapot, the expensive dessert
and put the price into books they could
shortly accumulate a library of fine
quality if not generous size. Surely
one may be as proud of classic poem
as of an ugly Chinese Jar.

Stowaways.

The ship was hardly well out on the
ocean, says writer in Chambers jour
nal, when two stowaways made their
appearance, and later in the day five
more. The next morning six more
came up, and during the two following
days they kept coming up in twos and
threes until they numbered twenty
five all told. The ship seemed to be
teeming with stowaways, and the Off
Ger on the watch was fairly bewildered.
There was a plaintive pleading in his
voice as he said to the last conner:
Say, hadn't you better send the rest
up at once?" They are all up now,
sir" replied the stowaway with re-
pressed cheerfulness, and the officer
gave sigh of relief. When the vessel
arrived at Quebec the captain sent a
dispatch ashore with the pilot-boat to
be forwarded to Montreal, asking that
a detachment of the harbor police be
at hand when the vessel came along
side to arrest the men. The police
were in readiness on the wharf but the
steamer stranded in midstream, and
lighters had to be sent off to relieve
her of part of the cargo. One of the
lighters came on and she had to lie to
until sunrise. When the lighter was
fully loaded she drew to the wharf to
discharge, but hardly was she moored
when there was Il movement among
some sacks and Il stowaway leaped
out and made break for the wharf.
Another Immediately sprang out from
the other side and in another instant
the whole deck of the lighter was alive
with stowaways, running up the
wharves and leaping over the obstacles
that came in their way. The captain
was powerless with amazement and did
nothing but stand and look on in
dazed sort of way. When the last of
them had cleared the vessels side and
things had quieted down bit he re-
covered himself, and walking over to
the sacks he poked carefully about
among them, but finding nothing he
resumed his former position. Sudden
ly another stowaway, who had been un-
able to get out with the rest, jumped
up and cleared. This was too much
and the captain shouted: If there's
any more passengers going ashore they
had better go now" But the whole
consignment had escaped free of duty.

A Kentucky Blow Hard.

Murat Halstead, writing of ''Our
National Conceits, " in the North Aner-
team ReUte1U. narrates the following
amusing incident: 'tOnce l heard an
American in a smoking-room in an
English hotel engaged in conversation
with British officer on the subject of
the war in this country. The Ameri-
can was young Kentuckian, who. de-
string to impress his interlocutor with
the amenities of our civilization and
the refinements of home influences,
had just told an anecdote of neighbor
and companion who galloped into the
country town while court was in ses-
sion, his belt stuck full of revolvers and
a double-barrelled shotgun across the
pommel of his saddle and spurred his
horse up and down the street, defying
everything and ready to murder any or
everybody in moment, and sure. to
get the drop on one who criticised his
performance. The response of the Off
Ger to the touching narrative was that
the story was something eXtraordi-
nary He listened intently and ven-
tured, when the hero of the tale rode
off in triumph, brandishing his shot
gun and daring the world in arms to
fight, to change the subject by observ-
ing: 1 suppose that the battles of the
Franco-German war were far more
bloody than any of those in the war of
your country"
The expression of the young Ken
tuclsian was that of indignant amaze
ment. ''No, sir" said he in thrilling
tones; ''the battles that were fought in
my country were the bloodiest that
were ever fought anywhere on earth.
Now, take the battle of Shiloh; it ragged
without moments intermission for
seven days and nights. When it be-
gan it was in the midst of dense
wilderness on the Tennessee, and when
it was ended there was not tree stand
ing within nine miles of the river and
20, 1000 men were killed on each side
and were dead in the fallen timber"
The British officer remarked; 1T is
astonishing. l think you possibly
mean that there were 10000 men on
each side killed, wounded and missing;
say 10000 on both sides horS du combat.
That would be sufficient, 1 should say,
for great battle"
mo, sir" said the citizen from Ken
tucky: There were 10000 dead on
each side, and they were buried where
they fell. There was nothing like that
in the French and Dutch tightin;" and,
of course there was not

An Eccentric Millionaire.

The most eccentric millionaire in New
York is probably Charles Rouss, says
the New York Star. He served in the
confederate army under Stonewall
Jackson and is Virginian by birth
Thirteen years ago he was ruined and
$50, 600 in debt. To-day he is building
massive structure 200 feet deep, Is
feet front, and II stories high on Broad
way. This building will cost S1,OOO,-
600 when finished and is paid for step
by step. His business methods are
unique, He has 400 employees and
pays seventy-ive off every day. This
makes every day a payday. His an
nual income is estimated at $3.50, 900.
Mr.. Rouss' energy is wonderful. He
works from in the morning till 10 at
night. He does not spend more than
81, 600 per year outside of his house
hold expenses. His principal source of
amusement is to stand on the rear
platform of street-car and throw
dimes and nickles to boys. A short
time ago an English syndicate offered
him $2,0O0,O0O for his business. Mr..
Rouss, who is 81 years old, is a great
advocate of phonetic spelling and
writes all his personal letters on that
plan.

Deacon Dudley's Squash.

The first acquaintance l met at the
Sagadahoe fair was Deacon Dudley,
says the Lewiston (Me,) Journal. If
he had owned the grounds and held
mortgage on the building and its con-
tents he could not have appeared more
satisfied.
''Walk right in," was his hospitable
greeting as l approached the entrance.
shown in this county, and l want you
to see it before the crowd gathers. 1
raised it myself" he explained, from
California. You'll get some idea of its
length when I tell you that brought it
here in box three and a half feet long.
l packed it in hay SOS to keep it from
scarin'. and when I took it out twas
smooth as a smelt and shiny as glass
bottle.'
By this time we had reached the farm
produce department, and the deacon's
tongue and legs came to standstill to-
gether. I asked the name of the Won
der he had described.
"Wan," he said, scratching his head
perplexedly, lit was squash-the
longest ever saw--but what shape it's
in now, or where it's gone, is more'n
l know. left it right here, with my
named tackled to it. You hold on u
minute while hunt up the committee
and see if anybody's responsible for
property left in this ere building"
The good man disappeared, and for
half an hour scarcely stirred from my
tracks. At last grew tired of waiting
and ventured to move about with the
rest of the folks. Growing bolder by
degrees l finally dr;fted with the crowd
outside the hall, and in the course of
an hour or two forgot all about Dea-
con Dudley and the missing squash.
1t was late in the afternoon. when /
met my friend in the neighborhood of
the sheep-pens. At the sight of him
my conscience smote me, and with
genuine solicitude | asked if he had
found his treasure.
The deacon looked rather foolish as
he said: Il suppose you mean the
squash. Oh, that's all right. They'd
moved it to another place. Twas no
great matter, anyway"
As he seemed much embarrassed, and
turned away without urging me to ex-
anime the specimen, | determined to
seek it out without waiting for any
further invitation. When | had found
| it [ was at no loss to account for my
friends confusion. By the side of his
squash-which really was of remarka-
BILE length-lay another squash, at least
eight inches longer.
