THE GERMAN WOMAN.
She Is Declared in the Hub to be the Most
Domestic Creature Known.


The German WON an is, perhaps, the
most domestic being known, unless.
indeed, 1t is the German man. From the
young Empress down she looks after
the whole business of the housekeep-
ing.
If in France there be no @fireside. in
Germany the flooring of the whole
house is "hearthstone, and the most
homely topic may at any moment be-
come the matter of drawing-room con-
versation oa dinner-table talk.
The American Charge d'Affaires was
on one occasion at q large dinner party
given by Prince Bismarck in Berlin.
Observing that the Princess was ap-
parently greatly disturbed about some
thing and very restless, finally leaving
the room, he inquired of the son, who
happened to be seated next to him at
the table, whether his mother was i'll.
20, no!' replied the young Bismarck,
"not at all, but you may have noticed
a disagreeable odor of singeing meat,
and mother has just gone into the
kitchen 10 see about it,"
"Awfully poor dinner" further OBJ
served the son, who spoke English adj
mirably, "but the fact is our cook has
been in the family twenty-five years,
and father does dot feel he can turn
her off though she does not meet our
requirements now at ALL"
Again he was dining with the Pre-
mier, when, after dinner, in the draw
ing-foom, he joined the Princess in an
swer to her beckoning finger
81 want to sympathize with you in
your family aff1iction," said Fru Bis
marck.
"You are very good, Princess, but l
was not aware that l was laboring just
now under any form of family afflic-
ton, said the American.
30, yes" the Princess reioined, "the
bedbugs, you know; you must call in
a jaeger; I knew about it, because
your wife told the Countess l, of
course, learned of it, tool"
It.was rather 9 remarkable subject
for q Princes drawing-room conversa-
ton; but these 'creatures-these BIB
5 of the Princess Bismarck's sympa-
thetic condolences-do break out like
plague in Berlin among the apart
ment houses, where they find easy and
active egress through the dues and
chimneys.
The "Jagers," of whom the Princess
spoke, seek livelihood by the exter-
mination of these creatures Boston

Likes Her American sisters.

"And now, would you tell me little
bit about women in American" asked
a London Queen contributor of Lady
Somerset the day she returned from
her long visit to New York. "Ah!"
said Lady Henry Somerset. with a
smile, "that could not be told in slit-
tie Bit 1t is an immense subject.
The position of women in the states is,
on the whole, very much better than
it is here. 1t was delightful to see the
early morning trains coming into the
cities filled with young women who
we're all going happily to their em-
ployments, whether as clerks, type
writer's, journalists, etc. How much
better was it than if they had all been
clinging to their homes with nothing
to do and possibly nothing to live up-
oni 1t is looked upon as a recognized
duty that every woman should be able
to earn her own living. American
women may marry or they may not;
but marriage is fortunately not re-
garded as profession. l was also
very favorably impressed with the con-
duct of women at meetings: They
might argue vehemently and disagree
with each other during the meeting,
but when it was all over the disput-
ants would leave the hall arm in arm,
chatting with each other on terms of
perfect amity. In England such dis
cussions would involve personal
quarrel. American women under
stand public affairs, but English women
have yet to be taught them-that is
the difference"

Neighbors Meet ON Mountain Peak.


One specially high peak of the Andes
affords a peculiarly fine view of the
sunrise, and on two sides of this peak
huts have been built within an hours
climb of the apex in order that travel
ers having scrambled up the mountain
side may rest over night and go at it
fresh in the morning. An American
reached the summit of the mountain
from one of the huts just at sunrise
one morning and found himself face to
face with stranger who had toiled up
from the hut on the opposite side.
Both gazed in silence at the sight be-
low, and then one said to the other:
"There is only one other view that
equals this, in my opinion" "Just
what l was thinking" said his COM
panion. Whats your other view?"
"That's to be seen at sunrise from
Fort Nonsense, near Morristown, New
jersey" said the first. "Why, that's
mine, too" said the other. and then.
standing together on that lonely peak,
the two compared notes and discovered
that they were neighbors in the little

Reptiles in a Cow.

A COW belonging to Levi Mogg OF
Lydlich, Dorset, England, was observed
recently to be in great agony ana
eventually dashed its head against
the walls of its shed, breaking its neck.
On examination live snake, two feet
long, and six young ones, also two
water nevis, were found in its throat:
1t is supposed that the animal
swallowed the reptiles while drinking
from a tarn.

Chinese Medicines.

Some curious items are found in the
lists of China's trade statistics. For
instance, the report of exports from
Ichang, large city on the Middle
Yang-tse-Kiang. contains an item of
$1,000 pounds of tiger bones, valued at
nearly $4,000. Only Chinese would
think of putting tiger bones to any
other use than that of a fertilizer, but
in China tiger bones are used as
medicine. They impart to the invalid
some of the tigers strength. Another
item is 5000 pounds of old deer horns,
worth 81. 700-another medicinal agency
with whose peculiar properties western
medical science is not yet acquainted.

Organisms by the Million.

In the milt of a Goldfish, or in water
in which vegetables have been infused,
the microscope discovers animalculi so
minute that 100000 of them would
not exceed in bulk single mustard
seed. And, strange as it may seem,
each of these ininitesimal creatures is
supplied with organs as complete in
every detail as are those of the whale
or the alenhant

Cardiac Instrument.

A New York physician has construct
ed an instrument on the plan of the

he can determine the exact size and
position of the heart of a living pa

thrust pin into one chest within a
hairs breadth of the heart without
touching it.

The howl of the free trade demo-
Gratis because the Commissioner of the
New York labor bureau did not sup>
press or distort the figures in his an.
nual report, just issued, is an example
of the honesty of the democratic party.
The facts as presented in this report
make a irst-class argument in favor
of the Mckinley tariff law and against
free trade. The Commissioner was
honest enough to say that when he be-
gan TO investigate the subject he ex.
pected the result would be favorable
to democratic ideas on the tariff; also
honest enough to refuse to suppress
the figures when he saw that they
were favorable to protective tariff.
