"RADIRGUM MIS-"

That is what they are. They raised a
ruction in the German empire. Herr
Won Zedlitz-T z-Truetzschler, minister of ed
ucation and cult, has notified the manu-
facturers, that radirgummis shall not be
made any more i'll the way they have
been made.
As the firm of manufacturers were
putting radirgummis on the market,
these contained stamped upon them the
head of the most blessed and imperial
Christian majesty Emperor Billy. Hem
Won Zedlitz-Truetzler, eXcellency, minis
ter of education and cult of the German
empire, warns Richter & Son, the manu-.
facturers, that they must no longer put
the head of Emperor Billy upon theil
radirgummis. Briefly radirgummis are
rubber erasers, such as all children ust
at school.
When the German children cheweC
the rubbers the blessed imperial cOunte
nance was twisted into a Thousand
wrinkles. When they stretched anC
pulled the elastic substance his blessed
imperial majesty was drawn entirely Ou
of countenance. His high and mighty
nose was distorted, his sacred eye looked
diabolically rakish, and his seren,
mouth was sight to behold. In fac
the blessed imperial majesty looked
like a whopper-j jawed pumpkin head ol
a drunk.
1t was disrepect of the grossest kind t.
imperial majesty, and not to be toleT

yesterday he found that his total savings
amounted to 81 10. Then man came

So the man lent him 50, and the two

went into the bank, and Mr.. Hutchinson

woMAN,s ARIsTOcRACY.

A bright mill girl stood in the midst
of her companions one day this week,
earnestly declaiming against the pride of
spirit which produces the caste lines
among wage earners. "Now think It's
too bad" She said, "that all girls who
work for their living can't go on to-
gether. There are those girls from the
other mill. They won't 90 with us
feel that they are better than we are,
suppose. We might have good times to-
gether, such as clubs and things"
''Yes," said another girl in assent cts
dead slow" A protest of the same tenor
was made day or two after this little
talk, by an educated woman represent
ing the highest culture which this
country affords to women students.
Recognizing the social dislike of Ameri-
can women to domestic service, she pro-
tested against any badges of seTvitude
or any means which tend to mark the
social difference between servants and
their mistresses or between servants and
other women wage earners. The cap is
such a badge of social inferiOrity. 1t
marks not the rise of the wearer in i'm
portance, but the increased prosperity
or social pretensions of the family in
which the servant is employed. What
shall we say of the increas ng custom of
recurring a servant to accompany
her mistress to party or any
entertainment and then to return alone?
The young servant girl undoubtedly is
in need of greater protection than her
mistress is, and yet she is supposed to
be the protector, for FORMS sake. The
girl in the kitchen is the only emplOye
who is called by her christian name.
When she is n household servant she is

man, she is Miss O'Leary; when she has
advanced in prosperity, 50 that she has

tablishment, she is MADAME Leary,"
and our carriage waits at her door
The feeling of aristocracy among wO-
men is a relic of medieval times and
wholly at variance with the economic
tendencies of the age, yet by strange
misunderstanding of conditions it is en-
couraged not only by women but by mer
who are democratic enough in theiI
dealings with one another, and who
nevertheless prefer that their wives
should be artist Gratis. The close draw.
ing of caste lines in America by women
who lead in social matters increases the
difficulty of the domestic service ques
ton, prevents working women from Z

another, and produces such absmdiiies

HIS AUTHORITY WAS sHAKsrEARE

at Rugby, where he is still remembered
as the hero of funny schoolboy
blundeI. "What is the meaning of the
word 'adage'?" was the question which
was being asked by the master. Vari-
GUS shots were made OF the usual wild
description, when it came to young
Barttelot, who, without hesitation, re-
piled, "a place 10 put cats into" Every
one laughed; and the master, who was
as much mystified as the rest, ,lled him
him what had put such an idea into his
head. "well sir" said Barttelot,
