Women Taking the Places of Men

In Holland men can no longer be
trusted to work the switches on the rail-
ways, and women now fill their places
This is a slap in the face indeed to the
male sex, and a great triumph TO the ad-
vocates of female labor. But we have
yet to see how the thing works. The
men say that there will now be looking
glasses in the switch boxes, and that the
women will never leave them till they
have smoothed their last hair and settled
the. bow of their last ribbon. and that in
the meantime there will be collisions;
that when left to themselves they never
have been in time for the train as pas
sengers, and will not be more punctual
as pointswomen; and, finally. that if they
hear their lovers whistle anywhere in
the neighborhood they will pay very lit
tie attention to that of the locomotive
If these objections are not valid, con-
clude the men, 1--WE are not Dutchmen. :"
London Queen.

CatarrIi.

People who are subject to catarrhal
ailments have special need to be particu-
lar in regard to their feet covering; they
should see to it that their feet are com
fortably clad, their shoes should have
substantial soles, and should come well
up the ankles and not be laced or but
toned tight. Light merino stockings or
half hose may be sufficient for warmth,
but whenever by reason of much exer-
else the feet have become damp. and
especially if the leather has absorbed
wet, it is wise for change to be made
in both stockings and shoes.

When Did the "Glass Age" Begin?


So far as research has been able to de-
termine, glass was in use 1000 years be-
fore the birth of Christ. and was even
then not in its infancy by any manner
of means. In the Slade collection at the
British museum there is the head of a
lion nodded in glass, bearing the name
of an Egyptian king of the eleventh
dynasty. This is the Oldest specimen of
pure glass bearing anything like date
now known to exist. The invention now
known as "bleezing," the mode of var
nishing pottery with a thin film of glass.
is believed to date back to the first Egyp-
tian dynasty. Proof of this is found in
the pottery beads, glass glazed, found i'll
the tombs of the age above referred to.

The MysteriOus Power OF the urq quOlse.
The turquoise, although not credited
with either remedial or protective prop
critics, so far as disease was concerned,
was nevertheless regarded as a kind of
sympathetic indicator, the intensity of
its color being supposed to tiuctuate with
the health of the wearer
The latter. however, by virtue of the
stone he CARRIED, could, it was said, fall
from any height with impunity. The
Marquis of Vilena's fool, however, was
somewhat nearer the truth when lie re-
versed the popular superstition in his
assertion that the wearer of turquoise
might fall from the top of high tower
and be dashed to pieces without break
ing the stone.-Oueries Magazine.

The Effectiveness of Modern Guns.

The prominence given to lecture by
the German doctor, DIR. Billroth, ON the
wounded in war, has induced Mr. Arcli-
bald Forbes to write on the subject.
Dr. Billroth estimates that of the cas-
ualties at Weissenburg and Worth dur
ing the Franco-German war, S0per cent.
of all the wounded were caused by rifles,
15 per cent. by the large guns. and not
quite per cent. by the lance and sword.
Mr.. Forbes, however, says that the sta
tistics for the whole of the war on the
German side prove that over 80 per cent.
were due to rife fire, about per cent.
to artillery, and about per cent to cold
steel.
The smallness of the mortality from
the French artillery is explained by the
fact that their artillery was notoriously
badly served. DR.. Billroth believes that
the future will see still greater pro-
portion of deaths resulting from rife
fire than from shell. Mr.. Forbes points
out that, in doing so, no account has
been taken of the probable use of highly
destructive explosives in the shells of
the future.-Army and Navy Gazette.

A story Of the Late A. T. stewart.


] was young lawyer at the time.
about as poor as home missionary.
had to go to the late A. T. Stewards to
take his signature to an affidavit lie
signed and l swore him; then he wished
to know how much there was to pay.
In view of what took place afterward, 1
am justified, think, in saying that
what Mr.. Stewart expected me to say
when he asked ''How much? was "Oh,
that's all right"
But didn't say that; Isaid, Seventy
five cents"
WHAT" shouted Mr.. Stewart.
''Seventy-fve cents" | answered
again.
81 won't pay it, said he. you've no
right to ask so much. The price is o
shilling, and that's all I'll give you"
But, Mr.. Stewart" replied, "a shil-
ling is the price when you come to my
Office. I've come to your store and I've
a right to charge for my car fare and a
reasonable amount for my time Sew
enty-five cents is really very small
charge, Mr.. Stewart, a very small
charge"
Il won't pay it." he persisted. IF
you want shilling you may have it.
but not one cent more"
l got angry then. gave him one
look, with which l intended to convey
the idea that l held him in contempt
Then said: ''Mr. Stewart, you are a
poor man and I'm a rich one. Twenty
five cents is nothing to me and seventy
five cents is fortune to you. I'll make
you present of that seventy-fve cents
that you owe me-"
Then made my best dancing school
bow and walked off.-Interview in New
