THE old charge that women have no
head for figures has been disproved
abundantly, and yet Mrs. Helen l.. Bul-
lock, the Superintendent of Narcotics Of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, makes an astounding statement
when she says the women of New York
city chew six million dollars worth of
gum every wear. Estimating the fem
mime population of the metropolis OF
gun-chewing years at five hundred
thousand, this is twelve dollars year TO
be spent by each and every individual,
or one dollar per month, making about
three and a third chews per day. Nowit Is
beyond belief and contrary TO observa-
ton that the women of New York or
any other city spoil their beauty and
squander their cash in this reckless way.

Union Theological Seminary, New York,
on two charges, set forth with minute
specifications by a committee appointed at
a previous meeting of that body. He is
charged with teaching doctrines In his
inaugural address to the seminary men
toned which conflict with and are CON
trary to the Bible and the standards of his
church, and with being unsound i'm his
views rs to the character, state and santi-
fication of believers after death. DR..
Briggs will conduct the defense personally.
He is regarded as the head of the new
school Of Presbyterans, and in learning
and ability commands the attention OF
educated people everywhere. The expec-
tation seems to be that he will be found
guilty of the charges made against him,
with the probable result that he will
withdraw from membership in the relig-
ious body of which he has been long an
ornament.
DR.. Briggs was born in New York city
in 1s4l. After his graduation at the Uni
versities of Virginia and Berlin he en-
tered the Union Theological Seminary,
New York, where he was graduated with
the class of 1863. He spent the following
few years in business pursuit. In 1870
he was chosen pastor of a church at Ro-
selle, n. j. Since 1S75 he has been con
nected with the Union Theological Semi
nary as professor.

As L WAS SAYING.

A party of whist players were settling a
tie game. One said rubber-an old Eng
Iish rubber-was two out of three. Another
said Woonsocket rubber was different
and third said il wasn't a Goodyear for
such jokes and he did Hope his opponent
would not pair Joke like that with his
partners. The game broke up in row.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton has re-
turned 10 this country and is to spend the

eral bearing are SO striking that wherever
she goes she falls victim TO the kodak

TINS last summer calmly seated on the
piazza of a Coney Island hotel, while as
many as three or four hand cameras-all
handled, by the way, by women-were
leveled at her from different points of
view She took no notice of their focus

went on quietly with bit of fancy work

with which one boy followed the other

must have been evident to a good many of
the people hurrying supperward that one

young man from Providence walked
into a Boston restaurant the other morn
ing, and as all the tables were occupied
he seated himself at one where the only
occupant was lady who was drawing on
her gloves preparatory to taking her de-
parture. Presently she made some re-
waiter 10 bring her her check, and said
that he had been rather impudent to
her.
The young man looked up from his
paper for an instant and remarked court
eOusly.
Madam, / think you can pay at the
desk as you go out.
The lady departed, the young man ate
his breakfast of rolls and coffee, and when
his check WAS brought him by the waiter
the amount was so much larger than
usual that he examined the items and
found that be was being charged for an
elaborate breakfast for two. The waiter
said that the gentleman had ordered for
the lady and himself Explanations
would have been no avail had not another
man at the next table seen the whole
thing and understood it. He came to the
rescue of the young man, explaining the
matter, so that only breakfast for one was
paid for.

meets with the passage above Yuma, the
lake will be over four hundred feet in
depth and over fifty miles long. If the
waters continue to rise the Southern
