pliment in the last phrase is, doubtless
intended to sugar-coat the pill, but how
the writer can pronounce our womer
as ''cool and calculating, rather than O!
passionate and OVERLOOKING heart" is
not easy to understand. Another phase
which seems to disturb the phlegmatit
serenity of our German friend, is that
''the darning of stockings is an un-
known art to the American woman

contaminates the careful German

This is an age of odd conceits. The
other day a young matron was proudly
displaying new ring just sent home
from the jewelers.. It was gold
band with raised setting, in which
was what looked like a very white
pearl, although rather Opaque. Specu-
lation about it was finally set at rest
by its owner, who proudly stated that
it was ''ClaribePs first TOOTH" Claribel
being her only child, a little miss Of
four summers. When the tiny grinder
fell out it was taken to a jeweler. who
cut off the root, shaped and polished it
and mounted it as ring. "And no
jewel could be half SO preciousl" was
the doting mothers fond conclusion.
Which sentiment, however sincere in
occasional cases, will be pronounced
by many as rather disagreeable It
not positively morbid one.

EYE experts insist that people who
wish to preserve their eyesight will dc
well to confne their reading as far as
possible to round, full faced type, and
to avoid that which is tall and thin. It
was the shape of the type of the tiny
edition of Dante produced at the French
exposition almost as much as its minute
ness which blinded some of the persons
engaged in correcting the sheets. An
other important point is to avoid too
wide column, or the eye is strained.
The only way to neutraize the tendency
to such strain is to turn the head from
side to side, after the manner of short
sighted people. The width of a column
of reading matter ought not to exceed
at the outside two inches, because that
is about the natural range of the eye
when the head is kept motionless.

New York on Wheels.


It is estimated that twenty Thousand
men and women over 81 years old own
and ride bicycles in New York city and
Brooklyn. There are more than that
number of younger cyclists, so that it is
fair to guess that the total foots up
somewhere in the neighborhoed Of 50,-
600. The machines, big and little, old
and new, are worth an average of SIS
each. That alone is an investment of
50, 75O, 900. There are about forty BIZ
cycle clubs in the two cities, and they
must represent an investment in real
estate and furnishings of at least 5000
each-some of them less, some of them
a good deal more. That adds $120, 900
to the S., 75O, 900 and gives total in
vested in wheeling and its adjuncts in
New York and Brooklyn of $3.50, 900.
If the number of wheelmen in nearby
New Jersey towns, who really help to
make up Gotham's big bicycle group,
were added to the estimates the army
would doubtless muster 10000 and the
investments reach s5,oO0,00

The old whaling bark Progress,
which has reached Chicago, where she
and her outfit will constitute one Of the
attractions of the worlds fair, has
something Of history. She has made
seventeen trips around Cape Horn with
out losing so much as ropeyarn, and
forty times she crossed the Arctic ocean
in quest Of whales. In 1869 she sailed
from New Bedford for the Arctic, and
during her cruise in 1871 came the ter
rible gale that scattered the fleets of
all nations in those waters. OF all the
New Bedford feet the Progress alone
survived, and she came home with three
hundred seamen, seven captains, five
women and three children. saved from
the many wrecks. She is still good
whaling ship.

A DECISION which was undoubtedly
good law but which savored of injustice
was recently rendered by a federal
court sitting in Kentucky which de-
cided recently that person on trial
for a crime could not show that another
person, now dead, confessed that he
was the guilty party, although there
was strong corroborative evidence that
such was the case. The trial was that
of a postmaster, who was accused of
taking money from registered letter.
He desired to introduce evidence to
show that man having access to the
letters had confessed that he had taken
the money, and that he soon afterwards
committed suicide. But his request
was denied on the ground that hearsay
evidence was not admissible; the con-
fession, if made, was not sworn to, and
the person making it could not be sub
iected to cross-examination.

her 11o-ton guns, and, as this gun
throws projectile weighing 1900

pretty high. So tubes have been placed

Some excellent hits have been made in

There seems to be no authoeity 1or
the belief that marriage Il declining.
Statistics from the records Of the mar
rage license clerk show that In Chica-

1889, the rate of increase in the number
Of marriages was "a per cent In New
York, between 1885 and 1890. It was. %
per cent, and in Boston % per cent.
during the period From these figures,
it is argued, even in the largest city
in the United States, where the strug-
gle for existence is sharpest and condi-
tions for matrimony are least favora-
BILE, the marriage rate shows the great
est increase. Among the states Della
ware easily leads, with an increase of
50 per cent. between 1881 and 1885.
The rate in Minnesota between 1880
and 1885 was 80 per cent increase, and
New Jersey 81 per cent. for the same.
Ohio has only 81 per cent. to her
credit between 1880 and 1885, and
stands at the bottom of the list. Eu-
ropean statistics show that in Ireland,
Scotland, Denmark, Belgium, Hungary
and France marriage is declining. In
England, where the rate is highest for
Europe, there was an increase of only
per cent. between 1885 and 1889, and
during the same time in, the Neither
lands the rate was per cent, in the
German empire per cent. and in Aus
tralia ~ per cent. This falls far
below the rate of increase of the popR-
lation.

The impression is quite general that
creole is one who is of French and
Spanish parentage, but, properly speak
ing, acreole is any person born in this
country of foreign parents. But as
the word comes from the Spanish and
the French and was first used in
Louisiana, its meaning has been re-
stricted so that ut is applied now only
to Louisianians of French or Spanish
descent The word comes from the
Spanish criollo, from the verb criar. to
beget, to create.

Money n Geese.

Goose-raising is getting to be great
Industry in the state Of Washington.
There is said to be large returns IN
&tdown" and goslings, to say nothing OF
the eggs, which always command a
good price. According to an expert
there's barrels of money in keeping a
goose ranch. Before man makes the
venture, however. capital of one thou
sand dollars is necessary. This being
secured, the intending goose farmer
goes to Kansas or some other state
where goslings are plentiful, and makes
his purchase of. say, one thousand geese.
For these he pays four hundred dollars
To save the transportation of this num-
Der of fowls to Washington his next
move would be to harnessmaker to
have the geese shod The shooting Of
geese is accomplished by placing minia-
ture coverings Of thin leather over the
web feet of the fowl; then the geese
are prepared to stand the journey on
foot. The shoeing of one thousand
geese will cost one hundred dollars, ac-
Icording to the expert. This would be
an outlay of five hundred dollars in all
Once on the ranch the feeding of this
small army would be but bagatelle,
for geese are voracious and live on
green herbs of every description. One
Thousand geese, according to the law of
progeny in the goose family, will rear
six goslings each year. Geese can be
picked twice year. A pound Of
'down" sells for one dollar and pound
of coarse feathers at sixty-five cents
Each goose is warranted to yield half
pound of each annually, netting there
by to its owner in round figures the
sum of one dollar. 1t would take but
short time to reach the wealth of
Cresus with prosperous goose ranch
