Can any one tell why it is that in all the
pathetic stories of housekeeping with
which the newspapers periodically abound,
it is invariably the husband and father
who is represented as the chief sufferer?
Here now is the latest of such veracious
chronicles, clipped from the St. Louis Post
Dispatch. Perhaps the mystery is explained
by the excessively sympathetic nature of
the average man
Directly after breakfast the man of the
house took to the sofa in the sitting room
with the morning newspaper, while his
wife set abO2t the housekeeping. She
was dismantling the front room, and before
he had finished the sporting column she
had carried past him seven chairs, three
tables, desk, four footstools, all the pic
lures, piano stool, bookcase and sundry
other pieces of furniture
Then she logged in pair of steps and a
pail of water, and began to clean.
do you want any assistance, Maria?"
said the man, at that point, as he rose and
folded the paper.
Not just yet, dear" said Maria.
"Well then, think III leave you," said
he, and he started for the office.
On the way he stopped to tell three men
that if there was anything that wore him
to the skin and bone it was that COMPOUNDED
housekeeping.
ave are right in the midst of it now,
and tell you Pm about used up."-Youth'J

The defeat Of Mr.. Catron for delegate
is to be regretted. He is to be congratu-
lated, however, upon the magnificent
canvass that he has made, and while the
result did not secure his election it re-
duced his opponents majority to much
smaller majority than he has ever before
received although this is the fifth time he
has been elected. The fight made upon
him was bitter, unrelenting and unscru-
pulous. Although defeated Mr.. Catron
comes out of the struggle stronger and

cause of the Zulus; they complain that the practice of English officials in deal ing with these people contradicts and largely stultifies what English mis- sionaries have to teach. ''How can we believe what you mis- sionaries say on Sunday, when we see your great men doing the opposite on Monday?" say the Zulus. The ven erable missionary, Dr. Moffatt, de- land in 1879 had put back the cause of christian missions in those parts for fifty years. The sequel to that war has been, if possible, even worse. Bishop Colenso died in 1883, worn out by the sorrow and horror of the inter- vening four years and a half. The principal Zulu chiefs are in exile in mid-atlantic, on the Island of St. Helena. They had the audacity to inn peach the local English officials on be- half of their people for maladministra- tion, and they repeatedly approached the superior authorities, claiming in quiry and redress. Instead, they them sciNts were put tHTOuSu tridl Wuich the colonial papers indignantly de- clared to be "a mockery of justice. v They were literally condemned first and tried afterward. Miss Colenso was present throughout these trials, and is now engaged in seeking justice for the Zulus as necessity preliminary to teaching them christianity, and telling their story wherever English people are willing to listen to it.

brutal IareHts.
 The Reporter, an English paper tells the following story: We have been informed of a very suspicious oc- currence in the neighborhood of Gates bridge. It appears that the daughter of a farmer in that locality was receiv- ing the addresses of a young man, the son of a neighboring farmer, but her parer ts were strongly opposed to their intercourse, and frequently chastised her severely, and sent her away from home altogether for time Imme- diately after her return however, the correspondence was renewed: and her parents, finding them together one evening, took her into the house, and gave her severe beating She es- capped from the place, and was return ing to her lover, when sh5 was again taken into the house and the door closed. Loud screams and cries were heard issuing from the dwelling for some time, but the neighbors on going to the door found it securely barred. found the father and mother looking very excited, and a rope with moose on the end of it suspended from pole which crossed the room. The man got into a terrible rage at his door being broken, and peremptorily ordered them out of the house. Next day the younger children of the family, in reply to the queries of their schoolfellows, said that the young man need not come to look for their sister any more, as their father and mother had hung her up and then carried her away out. The parents deny all knowledge of their daughters whereabouts, and the ut most vigilance of the police has hither- been unable to discover any traces of the missing girl, although more than a fortnight has elapsed"

ical feature of the matter. there are gCod many people who will tell you just exactly how Miss Stephenson does these wonderful limitations. It is noth- ing more than whistling pure and sim pie, many of them will say. The very keen and knowing ones sheer even at whistling. Nobody could whistle in that way, they say, with just the whis- ting apparatus furnished by nature. Miss Stephenson, they will tell you, has some ingenious little mechanical device for making the sounds, which she conceals in her mouth.
 All this makes the gifted bird soloist laugh. She could not whistle note if she tried, she says, and as for carry ing something m her mouth you have only to watch her as she gives the imi- tations to be convinced that that is all rubbish. She simply has marvellous development of the vocal chords, which has been developed by years of prac- ticc that began when she was a mere child and when the throat muscles and vocal chords were pliant and flexible. The sounds come straight from the throat, as was remarked at the begin ming of this article and as you can see very plainly yourself if you are near by when the limitations are given. You will then very distinctly observe the throat flutter, as does that of a canary when he is soaring up in the high notes of some of his dizziest trills.
 Speaking of trills, Miss Stephenson says these, curiously enough, are the easiest and least tiresome of the bird songs to initiate It is the short, sharp twitters and the long wailing cries which are the most trying.
 If it were not that her bird limitations are so amazing as toovershadow other things, Miss Stephenson would be al- most as popular for her skill in recita- tons, Her rendition of James Whit comb Riley's "Goblins" is to a high de- gree artistic and charming.

 She laughs when this suggestion is made to her and says she never has taken part in any bird gossip, and never, indeed, tried to talk to birds. although they very readily answer her imitation of cries. It was simply for her own amusement that she first developed her remarkable gifts of imitation, until now she has found that she can turn it to source of profit and this she is doing.
 Her bird language was only just begun in Michigan. When she was a very little girl she went to New York to live, and since then she has had to depend upon bird stores and upon such birds as she and her friends possess for her tuition

 A STRANGE STORY.
A Woman Cries for Help While fl
 Charge of Phvsicians.


 This is the strange story that every body is now telling in Paris. Not long agoa distinguished surgeon, assisted by his colleagues. had to perform an operation on the Countess de D.. a young and handsome lady. On their arrival at the mansion the husband of the lady asked the doctors to take a drink with him. They declined, as contrary to the etiquette of off tumbler of brandy and then went into another room, saying that he could not bear the sight of an operation. The doctors forthwith ad- ministered chloroform, but before the drug took full effect the lady passed through a period of delirium, in the course of which she cried out: Help, Ferdinandl Help" At the sound of her voice the Count rushed into the room and began threatening the sur geons, who had great trouble in ex- plaining to him the real state of the case, and requested him to withdraw. The operation was going on success fully when in came the husband again, this time brandishing a revolver. and exclaimed: Your lives are in your hands! If you kill my wife l shall shoot you and then blow out my own brains" He was again ealmed down and went away, while the surgeons completed the operation in a most sat isfactory manner. When all was over the lady was awakened and conducted to her husband who overwhelmed the doctors with thanks. The operator, however, cut him short, and said: You see, we have done our work well, and your wife is alive; but you must pay us our fees at once, otherwise we shall on leaving charge you with threatening to murder us, and you will not see us again" The Count paid the money. But the distinguished sur geon'' is much blamed for his sharp practice; ladies in particular consider that there was every reason for the husbands S excitement

Had n Romantic Life.

Many Belgians mourn the death oi Gen. Baron Chazal, ex-miniser of war, which occurred at one of his castles in southern Europe. He was an interest ing figure. The son of Frenchman who was living in Belgium in banish- ment, he took part in the revolution of 1850, and soon became prominent. He attained the rank of major-general when he was only 34 years old, and in ls47 became secretary of war. While a second time head of the same min- istry. in 1857, he succeeded in carrying the bill for the fertilization of Antwerp through parliament. Gen. Chazal was commander-in chief of the Belgian army during the Franeo-Prussian war, and prevented army troops from pass ing through Belgian territory. He was an advocate of compulsory military service in Belgium. Belgium papers say that he was the greatest minister of war that Belgium ever had. He was born Tn 1908.

A FAMOUS HORSE
The Story of Alexander the Greats
 Bucephalus.

The story of Alexander the Greats
 Buccphalus.
 When Alexander, the son of Philip, King of Macedon, was u youth, Thes- salian dealer brought to the court a beautiful and high-spirited horse, which he offered to the King for sale. The animal was pure white, all but his forehead. on which there was black mark in the form of bulls head, hence he received the name of Bucep- halus, which is Greek for bulls head. :"
 The King would have gladly bought the horse, though the Tbessalian asked a large sum for it-about S20, 900, our money--but none of the courtiers could manage the creature. Whenever any of them mounted him he reared and threw his rider with the result that he broke some of their bones.
 Now, the young Prince Alexander, carefully watching the horses actions, noticed that he swcrved aside and be- came unruly from fear of his own shadow, and, having asked and ob- tained his fathers permission to try his hand, he boldly mounted the animal and rode him full against the sunshine, so that his shadow fell behind him.

The Field Telephone.

Particulars of the behavior of the field telephone system in the French autumn maneuvers have now been published. Magnetic telephones were used, as no delicate microphone or bat tery is required with them. The transmitter was held in the hand and the receiver was affixed to the ''kepi. |" Combined receivers and transmitters were also employed. A bare bimetallic wire 0.6 millimeters in diameter was unrolled from drum and laid out of harm's way on hedges, branches walls and in trenches \ line twentythree kilometers long was thus laid, with the addition of ten posts, in five hours; speech was gooi, and the whole was taken up again in an hour. During a sham fight a cavalry division passed over long line without interrupting the com l.unication. A bayonet stuck in the ground made good earth; so did the body of a cavalry horse if the wire was attached to the bridle.

He is the inventor of the mirror galva- nometer and the siphon-recorder, which, owing to their extreme delicacy, can be worked by very low battery power, circumstance which tends greatly to the preservation of the cables. In the investigation of the nature of heat, his extraordinary power of mathematical insight is seen to great advantage. He is the inventor of a very extensively used improved form of the mariners compass, in which complete and perfect correction against disturbance by the ships magnetism, temporary and permanent, is provided, and of sounding machine by which soundings are taken in depths up to 100 fathoms. without even slackening the speed of the ship. He has of late years devoted much attention to the subject of electric lighting and is the inventor of a great variety of instru- ments designed for measuring electric currents.
