superior value to those OF their male col

Even the mountains appear to smile with
satisfaction. In ali the scenery / ever read
about in guide books and letters of travel
1t was the valleys that smiled. Here the
valley sleeps, and grows beautiful and
takes on the color of health and the digni-
ty of reRoSe; it is the mountain that smiles,
with wide, green grin and a radiant,
Verdant brow-probably from delight in
the scene which its good fortune enables it
to behold through all eternity. The
mountain which has pushed itself nearest
the little gem Lakeland l think that is
what Wononscopomoc means-is an abrupt
and interesting knob of the Taconics.
Some one has said they should be called
the Laconics, because they have SO little
TO say.
Probably they think silence their best
part, for the visitor VINO climbs to the top
OF this knob talks enough for all concerned
He goes into ecstasies of rapture and an
org1e OF exclamation points over the beauty
of the scene spread out before him. The

neighbor, Wononpakook, the darby wood

forests, titled fields, snug farmhouses and
winding roads, the rolling hills of Berk-
shire and Litchfield counties. and far away
In hay perspective, but easily discern
ible, the Harlem valley and the Hudson.
At the foot of the kill nestles the village of
Lakeville, with its spires and mills-not
enough of the latter TO mar the scene with
much suggestion of mammon-and a little
distance away down the valley the wide,
straight street OF quaint old Salisbury.
This panorama of nature is not grand.
1t is simply beautiful, quiet, pleasing, sat
lsfying. The enjoyment of scenery de-
ponds largely upon the person, for, as DR..
Holmes says, "One need not 90 TO Berk-
shire unless he has mountains in his head,
nor 10 Nahans unless he has an ocean in
his soul. Nature plays at dominoes with
man. You must match her piece for piece"
1t Is true, also, that TO some prosaic minds
there is nothing in the world where there
are not people, hustle, commerce, plenty of
money, devils To them the lake, the for
est, the glen, are so much waste They
have no oceans IN their souls, no mountains
in their heads

from her address well worth perusal:
To the bachelor editor word OF advice: Get
married as soon as you can find a subject. Ev-
cry married man present will agree with me
that the wife Of the editor is 70 the country
newspaper what the governor IS to the engine

lated newspaper, and man had as well try 70
do business without advertising as to publish
really first class paper without the inspiration

been told could be found in all their prim-
eval glory the two principal objects of my
journey-beautiful scenery, such as lakes,
mountains, ravines and sleeping villages,
and ancient rock ribbed New England con-
servatism. l found both, and want to
tell you about them. All my life have
had New England scenery pictured to my

New England conservatism has been sung
to me and preached to me as the ne plus
ultra of human excellence. Now / know
them by virtue of personal acquaintance.
The scenery, l must own, is restful to the
eye and softening TO the spirit. Take, for
instance, this little town of Lakeville. 1t
is a mere country village and the villagers
sell soap and dry goods and nails and gar
den seeds, and are as prosaic as any people
can be- Yet what environments for the
stimulation of the muse they live amidstl
Here is Lake Wononscopomoc. The only
thing | can say against it is its name, and
the lake is not responsible for that Here
it fairly nestles among the hills like dia-
mond in jewel case. 1t is perhaps half
mile in diameter and almost as round as
dinner plate. It's bottom is alive with
perennial springs, its chief water supply.
The banks are graveliy, with earths man
tie of green running everywhere down to
the waters edge, and here and there on the
shore are groves Of elTns and naples.
The water of Wononscopomoc-ug
what name!-is as clear as apoIlinaris.
Go upon it in a little boat, and the bottom,
through deep, is seen as though plate glass.
Only the pickerel and the black bass-those
exquisites of the fnny tribe that are so
dainty about their element that they take
insult and HE away at the first sign of con-
tamination-inhabit it. Out of one end of
the lake trickles pretty stream, which,
sad to relate, is put to the prosaic use of
turning the wheels of q mill.
With this little diamond lake as its gem
scorn to repeat the word Wononscopomoc
more often than may be necessary-the
country round about rises gradually but
proudly, here in a succession of plateaux,
there in a long upward sweep of grassland,
and again in more abrupt activities. till
the mountain tops are reached. Wise
nature appears to have so ordered things
here that from every point of view for
many miles around the crystal lake may
be plainly seen-an amphitheater in which
millions of observers might assemble to see
the gem below.

Relative strength of Wen and women.

Relative Strength of Men and Women.
By means of a specially devised instru-
ment French scientist has carried out
some experiments for determining how the
average strength of the two sexes com
pares. The palm of the hand is placed on
the instrument, and then the greatest
downward pressure which the individual
can give is exercised upon it, and the force
thus produced is recorded by the usual
clockwork device. Fifty robust men, and
the same number of healthy women, both
belonging to the middle class in society,
with ages varying from twenty-five to
forty-five years, were tested in this way by
the Paris scientist.
The strongest man of the company was
able to produce with his right hand a
pressure equivalent to eiGhty-five kilo-
grams "a kilogram is rather more than
two pounds) and the weakest to forty kilo-
grams, the average being ffty-sx kilo-
grams.
One curious result was arrived at; the
shorG men were livery nearly as strong as
the tall men, the average difference be-
tween equal groups of two sizes being only
three Kilograms.
The force Of the strongest women of the
fifty who were selected amounted to only
forty-four Kilograms, and that of the
weakest to sixteen kilograms, while the
average was thirty three Kilograms.
