MOMENTS MANNERS.
They are Neither Better or Worse Than
Those of Men.

Those of Men.
Women's manners are and long have
been II subject of much discussion. 1t
has been said that women usurp the
rights of others, intrude on the time of
other people without conscience; that
by thoughtlessness and Indifference
they detract much from the peace of
life, and add irritation to friction. One
popular writer accuses women of pre-
suming on their sex in their relations
with men, especially in business, and
assert that they are splteful to Others.
He sums up their offenses under the
following heads:
FIRsT-The indifference with which woman
will contemplate the fact that the convenience
of others has been sacrificed TO her caprice.
Very observable in yonng women.
SECoND-The needless delay woman often
causes in making her appearance when visitors
have called upon her. Most commonly noticed
among women who are no longer classed as
girls
THIRD-The unwilingness of woman to
wait for another 10 finish speaking before be-
ginning to speak herself Characteristic Of
nearly all women.
FoURTH-W Woman's failure TO recognize the
Importance of an engagement Most noticeable
among women who have the fewest social
duties.
What do insist upon, however is this: that
in the public the average woman shows an in
considerateness, disregard for the ordinary
courtesies OF existence (Which amounts some
times to positive insolcnce), 10 degree which
is not anywhere nearly approached by the
average man.
There is degree of truth in what
this writer says; it is true of some wom-
en-of women enough to detract from
the comfort of the whole. But rude
ness, spitefulness, Indifference to en-
gagements, an impetuosity of ideas
that demands or seams to demand re-
lief, are not sins monopolized by wom-
en-; they share them with their breth-
rem. The average woman, like the av-
erage man, represents the average in
telligence and culture of our people. 1t
is not the exceptional man or woman
who is representative, The manners
that'prevail represent the popular con-
ception of what is good.

THE SHlPBoARD PET.
Monkey That Was Fond OF Being In ths
Water.

Monkeys, as is well known, nre lils,
cats in the dread of getting wet. On
shipboard have ofttn laughed to see
them scampering from heavy spray
as it dashed over the deck or huddling
together under the Ice of the long-boat
during n passing shower. But on the
ship Euphrates we had monkey that
was fond of swimming.
One day while we were anchored in
the rondstead off Cape Coast Castle, cn
the west coast of Africa, the passengers
were seated under the awning looking
at some icwelry that had been brought
on board by the natives, and offered
for sale. The captains wife had
very rare ring made of African gold,
and engraved with the signs of the
zodaic 1t had been brought to her as
an engagement ring by her. husband,
and was the dearer to her from the
fact that he had been wrecked and
picked up at sea with it on his finger.
One of the lady passengers, who had
been looking at the ring, and whose
attention was attracted by some of the
native jewelry, placed it on the cabin
sl1ylight beside her. The next mo-
ment our pet monkey jumped on the
slsylight, seized the ring, and putting
it in his mouth, jumped on the main
deck and ran forward.
Instantly every one was on his feet
chasing the monkey. 1t ran from one
end of the deck to the other and then
climbed aloft. Some of the sailors
went up and drove it down again.
When it reached the railing of the
bulwarls, it paused and looked around;
the sailors were fast closing in on 1t,
and without moments hesitation, it
jumped overheard.
On rising to the surface, 1t tried to
climb up the vessels side, but her cop
per was high out of the water, and 1t
could get no hold with itsp paws. Then
it dived, swan under the ships bottom,
and came to the surface on the other
side. This performance it repeated
three or four times.
While this was going on, the cap
tains wife remained seated. Tears
were in her eyes as she spoke to the
sailors. "Never mind" she said,
don't chase the poor monkey any
more; it doesn't know any better. Its
instincts teach it to steal"
She had hardly finished speaking,
when the monkey came over the quar-
for Of tho vasSal and with =, rnsh
leaped across the deck, jumped into
her lap, and putting its little fingers
into its mouth, drew the ring out of the
cheek-pouch at the side Of its jaws, and
dropped it into her lap.
With cry of JOY she placed it on her
finger, and taking the dripping monkey
in her arms, she pressed it against her
bosom and kissed its little black, up
turned lace. Youths Companion.

HAD A SHINE ALL AROUND.
A Bootblack Knows Kind Man When He
Sees One.


The Italian boys whose familiar cry
of "Shine, bossp" is heard on all the
ferryboats, are sometimes very clever
in their methods of extending the
trade. A well-drcssed, middle-aged,
prosperous-looking man boarded
South Brooklyn boat for New York
one afternoon lately. his shoes display
ing variegated assortment of Brook.
lyn dirt and dust He nodded to
bootblack who regarded his customers
shoes critically, observed that the Gus
toner was good-natured-looking
man, and said persuasively:
"Catcha da plenta mud boss. Dis-a
shine ten-a cent Eh?"
The customer said all right. A little
boy, five or six years old, edged away
from sister twice his age, who had
him in charge, and watched the shin
ing operation with great interest The
man was evidently interested in the
boy, and the bootblack noted that in
stantly. When the bootblack's first
job was finished the man and boy had
formed a very friendly acquaintance.
"Let me give-a da boy da shine," said
the bootblack
This pleased the man and amused the
boy.
"Now, who is your mother?" was one
of the questions of the boy.
His mother is dead, sir" said the
sister.
"Ah. poor little chap!" exclaimed the
man.
The bootblack regarded the girl out
of the corners of his eyes, gave glance
at the man, finished the boys shine
and said:
"Let-a me give-a da lady da shine,
boss?"
Certainly, certainly!' exclaimed tho
man, and the girl laughed SO much over
the operation that the man was too
well pleased TO remember that any
change was due from the quarter he
gave the bootblack. Y. sah

BOATING THROUGH SOLID ICE.
The Ice-Crushing Steamboats, that Gross
the Straits OF Mackinac.


the Straits of Mackinac.
The most wonderful icc-crushing
steamboat in the world is built to carry
trains of cars across the Straits OF
Maclxinac, from Mackinaw City to st.
Ignacc. Mich. In those straits the ice
in winter is prodigiously thick, and
when there is not a solid bridge OF
clear blue ice over the water there is
apt to be bridge of drift ice. The
ferry boats that carry the heavy trains
across this piece of water are obliged
to be powerful ice fighters, and they
are built in a peculiar way to do their
fighting. Their bows, which are as
solid and strong as a naval ram, are
built to slope inward and outward,
so that the boats climb up on
the ice and beat or crush it down.
The enormous weight of the newest
boat, the Ste. Marie, which is
five million six hundred thousand
pounds, will crush any ice that it rests
upon. Under the bow is propeller
screw, which not only pulls the boat
uncdt, buJ ouChS lhC NdiCI OuJ lIOIl
beneath the ice in order that the ice
may be more easily broken. Then
again, the screw sucks the broken ice
away and casts it behind as the boat
pushes its way along.
This new boat cost more than third
of million of dollars. She can carry
eighteen loaded cars on her three
tracks, and can make fifteen miles an
hour Her side planks are six inches
thick, and the sides of the vessel are
nearly three feet thick toward the bot
tor, of the hull. She is all coated with
quarter-inch steel except at the bow
and stern, where the steel plates are
two inches thick. The two ends of the
boat are almost solid timber to make a
battering ram of her. Her bow screw
is smaller than that in the stern, but
with both at work she can make eight
miles an hour through solid blue ice
two feet thick, and when she encoun-
ters soft or drift ice ten feet thick, her
forward screw will bore through it
and hurl 1T out of the way without it
greatly impeding her progress. N. Y.

Great men are usually said to have
great memories, but it does not follow
that all who have great memories are
great men. An idiot in Ohio was a

beginning to end, and if any verse
was read or repeated to him he could
tell exactly in what book and chapter
it was to be found, and its verse num-

no means ladies' lunch room, though
the unmistakable fine touch of WON.
ans taste makes the place most attrac.
tive and homelike. The window is
filled with q wealth of flowers, not
gathered carelessly, but grouped with
happy harmony of color, These
flowers are for sale as we'll as for dec
Grafton. Each of the immaculate little
tables inside has its bouquet of flowers.
There are rose days, when every flower
belongs to the Queens family There
are pink days, and violet days, and
cool green and white days, when the
flowers of divers kinds follow the same
color scheme, and the place is pretty
enough for wedding. The photog'
raphers of the city frequently perpet-
uate the picturesque scene in photo
graphs which find ready sale, and the
patrons find the place most charming
for entertaining their friends.
OF course, without n good cook in the
kitchen all these frills and furbelows
would amount to little in the minds OF
men, but the cooking done by woman
is exceedingly good The whole place
is run by women, the only man being q
Chinaman who SCOUTS tin and keeps
the floor clean in the kitchen. This
kitchen is always on exhibition from
one of the windows of the room set
apart for the use of ladies up stairs,
and the cleanliness of the place is
not the least attractive feature by any
means.
The waiting upon guests is all done
by women, who are not allowed to re-

grateful customer refuses to depart
without giving a fee the waitress turns
it over to the management The super

In WOMAN'S BEHALF.
MEDICAL STUDIES FOR WOMEN.
Why Mothers Should Know Something of
tho Rules OF Health.

tho Rules OF Health
''lf / had only known few OF the
facts about simple medical practice"
said young mother, 81 might have
saved myself months of suffering and
an enormous doctors bill. But ! was
brought up to think that girls should
not know about such thingsa and to send
for the doctor whenever anything hap
pened. Indeed, the stereotyped phrase:
Send for the doctor at once, is tackled
on to all directions and advice of all
sorts wherever one may find it. | see
no necessity whatever for this everlast-
ing racing after physician, when little
common-sense on the part of the mother
of the family would set everything
right and save money and misery as
we'll as time and trouble. think every
woman should have at least limited
course in simple medicine and surgery.
Any girl who is old enough to marry
and assume the duties and responsible
tiles of that relation is old enough to
understand the fundamental rules of
health, and should be expected to
know what to do in ordinary emer-
gencies. Instead of this, the idea
is carried that she must under all cir
cumstances call in a doctor and follow
his advice, with goodly bill to pay
afterward OF course, doctors have to
live, and it is only natural that they
should discourage household medica-
tion. All the same, there ought to be
young mothers school of medica-
tion, in which physiology, hygiene and
the symptoms of the more ordinary
diseases could be so explained and
demonstrated that the woman would
know what to do in case of sudden i'll
ness or accident 1t is not reasonable
to say that such knowledge would in
any way prove disastrous The more
familiar one becomes with disease and
its indications, the more readily one
can form an idea of the necessities of
the case. No rational person would,
of course, advocate neglecting those
who are sick. In most cases neglect
comes from ignorance of the fact that
medical assistance is required. Some
one is ailing, but in the absence
of clearly defined knowledge of the
requirements of the situation, the
disease is allowed to run on un-
til it assumes some serious phase.
If the father or mother under
stood enough of existing condi-
tions to realize there was danger ahead,
many lives might be saved by the time
ly application of suitable remedies 1t
is, therefore urged, and with great
show of reason, that very much more
attention to everyday medical study
be given. Any person of average in
telligence can readily master the pri-
mary rules of the profession and can
educate the eye and perceptions to
such an extent that the symptoms of
disease may be detected at once
Having gone that far, practical,
everyday observations will supple
ment the knowledge already acquired
and enable the parents to understand
when the necessity for calling in medi-
cal counsel exists. 1t is often the case
that for lack of this knowledge disease
gets such hold on the patient that all
the skill of the best practitioner is
powerless to combat IN. Y. Ledger.

They Were Law.

Not very long ago troubles ina we'll

cause of divorce proceedings. The
wife got judgment, though the hus-

few months the ex-wife was again
married, this time also to Washing
ton man. One evening recently, at a
large reception, the two met tunexpect-

to introduce them. "Oh, we've met
