Can Women Keep n Secret?

Every woman is not trusty any
more than every man; but quite as
many women as men are so. In truth
it may be doubted if there are not
more trusty women than there arc
men. Secrets are seldom impaired to
persons who do not inspire confidence;
they who tell what they call secrets to
dozens of persons, without forming
any positive opinion of their discrim-
ination or reticence, are not apt to
have any secrets from the entire circle
of their acquaintance. They are mere
babblers, gossips, tattlers who try to
bestow some Importance on their COM
munications by declaring them to be
secrets. Such communications are
usually commonplace. or of so little
consequence as TO make no distinctim-
preston on the mind; needing to be
labelled priUate, lest they be thought
to belong to the public. Besides the
communicators are prone to the habit
of repeating their stories to every one
they can persuade to listen to them,
and then pronouncing them con-
fidential. To many to whom they
are thus disclosed, the stories are al
ready familiar. and poiteness alone
prevents the recipient from Immediate
" saying rs much. Candor and deli.
cacy compel these, when informed of
their confidential character, to ac-
knowledge that they are by no means
new. But the babblers-men for the
most part-take no notice of this. They
go their babbling round. and when
they hear their current tale, they like
to assume an injured air and to assert
that some COMPOUNDED woman has be.
trayed their confidence; that women
never can keep secret. That wo.
men should owe, in any measure their
false reputation to such a Ounce, is the
best evidence of its falsity-JUnius

The tower OF n public building now
in course OF erection at Philadelphia is
TO be provided with clock which for
size alone will be one OF the marvels of
the world. The center OF the dial
twenty-five feet in diameter-will be
35l feet above the street. The bell is
TO weigh between 20, 600 and $4,000
pounds, and will be second in weight
TO the great Montreal cathedral bell,
which weighs %. 900 pounds, and il is
calculated that its peal will be heard
even to the most distant part of the
city. Chimes similar TO those OF West
minister will be used ringing at the
quarter, half, three-quarters, and hour.
The minute hand is to be twelve feet
and the hour hand nine feet in length,
while the Roman figures on the dial
will measure two feet eight inches in
length.

DR.. Shorthouse has been diagnosing
the effect OF various Intoxicating
liquors on different parts of the cere-
bellum when imbibed not wisely but
too we'll" and the tendency of the re-
suit of his investigations is to indicate
that inebriety can be reduced TO an ex-
act science so far ne its subsequent
demonstrations are concerned. DR..
Shorthouse finds that good wine and
beer indiscreetly imbibed have the eff
feet OF making man fall on his side,
whisky and especially Irish whisky, on
his face. and cider and perry on his
back, these disturbances of equilib-
rum corresponding exactly with
those caused by injury TO the lateral
lobes and to the anterior and posterior
parts of the middle lobe of the cerebel-
lum respectively. Should the sound
ness of DR.. Sborthouses theories be
established the future labors of the
statistician and the scientist in deter
mining the popular use and abuse of
spirituous liquors will be materially
lessened by the testimony of the city
policeman.

Rebuking "a Greedy Client.

A Philadelphia lawyer. now dead,
who had national reputation, says
the Philadelphia Record, having been
honored with high positions OF trust
both at Washington and Harrisburg,
was famous for his tremendous
charges. One day client for whom
he had collected $1,000 called at his
office to receive the money, and tho
lawyer handed him a check for 800.
The client looked Mt it and remarked
that the lawyer must have made q
mistake, and had given him the check
which he meant TO keep for his fee.
Let me look at the check said the
attorney, and, glancing over it. he de-
clared it was all right and no mistake
had been made. The client kicked
against a fee of 81, 400 for collecting
81, 500.
"Oh, well, il you want to be -
hog about it, take that" said the man
of laws, impatiently and he wrote out
another check. 1t was for $3.50, and
with that the client had to be content,
the lawyer pocketing 81, $50.

HE cODDLED THE BABY.
His Wife Testified Against Him In .
Suit for support.

One sees odd sights in police court,
but few more curious than that OF the
woman who testifies TO her husbands
cruelty or urges that he BIO made TO
support her. and who, before begin
ming to make her points against him,
turns to him and bids him hold the
baby. The couple have not lived to-
gether perhaps for months, says the
New York Recorder, their domestic
relations are worse than strained, but
when the wife must have her arms free
to impress the judge by the eloquence
OF her gestures. she falls back at once
upon the accustomed and natural baby
holder.
Take her." she says; and he takes
her and sits tending her while her
mother describes his iniquities.
Give her to me-" she says when
she has finished, and he stolidly sur
renders the infant, for these little

Halve the Sc remaining and there
you have the 50. But-one must beg
the judges pardon. The woman had
a baby. Very likely, then, he would
have given her 81. Little enough to
maintain her and her infant; but
there's shrewd common sense and
rough kindness about these things
often that does not always appear from
the outside. The woman is far more
likely to get her 50 or her 81 regularly
and to be able to count on some defin-
tie assistance from them in the battle
OF life than would DO the case il the
Judge had awarded her any larger
sum.

BORN IN THE SKY.
Possible Reason Why Fishes and Frogs,
Come Down in showers.


A writer in Natures Realm says that
little fishes may be Matched i'm the
clouds. What he says about it is so
interesting that his whole letter is
herewith given:
Il observe "a reference made in the
American Angler touching upon show
ers OF fishes, in which it states that
science has not yet fully explained the
phenomena This is, perhaps, slight
ly incorrect. Several causes have
been suggested. Might it not very
probably be thaC fish and frogs which
fall apparently from the skies are

known, very frequently carry eggs OF
fish to great distances, having
swallowed them, and in their flight

they can and do fructify and mature in.
water over which these birds pass.
The eggs of many old fish are very
glutinous, and readily adhere to SUBJ
stances brought in contact with them
during particular times of their incuba-
ton. 1t is not very probable that not
only do these birds convey ova upon
their wings as well as in their crops
and when flying at great heights the
ova becoming detached from theft
wings, may remain suspended in thu
moist atmosphere, which is quite pos
sible under certain conditions of at.
mospherical pressure, and that wheA
under development they become too
heavy and naturally fall TO the earth,
as frequently witnessed?n
