AT Copenhagen young woman who
seized a thief and held him until the
police came, was presented with dia-
mond brooch and a hattering letter of
thanks from the director of police, and
received an offer of marriage from a
well-known journalist. Women thief
catchers are SO numerous in this coun-
try that it has been suggested that it
would bankrupt the police department
to attempt to reward them all, not to
mention exhausting the supply of mar
riageable journalists. Y. Sun.

The Indiana supreme court has de
cided that women may be admitted tc
the practice of law in that state. The
constitution reads: Every person of
good moral character being voter
shall be entitled to practice law in all
courts of Justice" The lower court,
when the matter was brought before
them, decided that as women are not
voters they must be ruled out. The
higher court, however, argued that,
while the constitution says voters shall
be admitted, it does not say that 9th.
ers, including women, shall not be.

HORTICULTURE FOR PROFIT.


Statistics Prove That Women Have Mado
1t n Success.
Some of the statistics compiled for the
Worlds fair have been looked up They
show that there are 1903 women farmers
in the state of Massachusetts,, one fruit
grower and two who are following tie
profession of florist. In the south,
more especially, horticulture is carried
on successfully and very extensively by
women. In this field there are possi-
bilities for great success, as has been
demonstrated by facts from all parts OF
the world. Paris during the winter
season spends 5000, 200 on lilies of the
valley.
One of the most noted floral displays
in our own city is under the manage
ment and supervision of a woman, for
Mrs. Jack" Gardner's greenhouses are
among the city's noted points of inter
est. Her beautiful residence in Brook
line is embowered with vines, and the
beautifully kept grounds and conserv-
atories are famous for their magnificent
rhodadendrons, azaleas and other
shrubs and beautiful plants. In the
greenhouses are nearly 400 varieties of
orchids, and here are grown the beauti-
ful violets SO closely associated with
Mrs. Gardner. One of the most interesting
and attractive displays in the grounds
is the Japanese iris, sent from Japan
by Mrs Gardner when she visited that
country. We fondly claim an iris in
this country, but it must hide its di-
minished head beside these wonderful
flowers. True, the family resem blance
is easily traced, but in. the likeness
there is such unlikeness that it seems
wholly different flower The bios
SONS are fully six inches in diameter
with many more leaves than in the
common, and showing wide variety
of the loveliest tints. The plant is
treated in the Japanese fashion, with
pipes edging the bed, so perforated
that an even shower falls on all alike,
SO that the requisite moisture is assur-
ed at all times.
One of the greenhouses contains
tanks in which the African lotus grows
as luxuriantly as in it's native waters.
The grapes for the table are raised on
the grounds
lady living near New York city
has paid the rent of an expensive place
by good management of greenhouses.

KELLAR DASHED FORWARD AND FIRED.
the fading light went out, and the blue
eyes closed forever in this world.

Who shall tell her? The whole regi-
ment knew the story of Jack's love, and
not man in it but felt heartsore for
proud of her young hero.
at will break her heart to go to Vio-
let with such tale" her brother
moaned. 'I'd rather take a revolver
and blow my own brains out than have
the task"
"You shall not have it," his colonel
promised. "Ill go to her myself with
as bitter tidings as I've ever had to con-
vey."
Col. Branksholme's mouth twitched,
and his steady, fearless, gray eyes filled
with tears as he spoke But this was
more for the fine young soldierly life
which had been cut short in it's glory
than for the desolate girl who was left
to mourn it. However, he fulfilled his
task so sympathetically that Violet
soon found her greatest comfort in
talking of her lost lover to his gallant
chief.
'Time treads on the grave of affec.
tion!' Kind, merciful Time. Two years
after Jack fell at Suakin, Col BranlSs-
holme, who had been away on leave for
q month, telegraphed to the second in
command of the regiment:
my wife and l will be back to-
night"
"We1l give them q grand reception
have the band to meet them, take the
horses out and drag the carriage along
the parade" some of the more enthusi-
astic of the juniors declared But when
young Kellar SAID:
"Better not-the bride is my sister,"
the regiment felt that the less demon
stration they made on the occasion of
her joining it the better. Jacks mem.
ory was too green with them still for
them to give her anything but a silent
and rather sad welcome.

WHEN THE WHISTLE BLOWS.

You won't find no man fonder much
OF music sweet than me,
The hummin' OF the butterfly,
An of the bumble-bee;
The laughter OF young children,
The shout OF schoolboy gay,
Is music sweet; each 'nough to chase
The blackest care away.
But there amt no kind Of music,
Quicker kin my ear unlock
Than the music of the whistle
When 1t blows at six o'clock
love to hear the music OF
The organ In the church;
An the robin singin' sweetly
On his swayin' hazel perch;
An the babble OF the brooklet
AS 1t ripples 'mong the trees;
TITS sweet, angelic whispers
Of the scented evening breeze;
But, b'goshl there amt no music
Gives my ear sweeter shock
Than the music of the whistle
When 1t blows at six o'clock.
Oh, tell you, when man Is
Nigh to three score years an ten,
An he's kept his shovel movin'
All the day 'gainst younger men:
When his poor old back is breakin',
An his head a-whirlin' goes;
An he feels his heart a-goin'
Downward, downward to his toes,
There's no sweeter kind OF music
In all Mother Natures stock
Than the music of the whistle
When 1t blows at six o'clock

Violet Kellar had fought a hard fight
before she had gained her father con-
seI-t to become engaged to penniless
Jack Colvile. The girls brilliantly
gt cd looks, attractive manners and gem
cral cleverness had brought numbers
of far more eligible men to her feet
But she had been faithful to her first
love through it all.
81 hate poverty, but love Jack" she
would say, when her father pointed out
to her how far more sensible it would
be of her to marry man who could
give her good establishment in which
he could stay at home in ease with her,
than to link her lot with that of mere
subaltern in marching regiment.
Probably after they have settled
this disturbance in Egypt his regiment
will be sent off to India for three or
four years, and as he can't marry on
his pay you will be left behind to med
itate on your folly in having engaged
yourself"
81 shall marry him as soon as this
affair is over in Egypt, papa, and if he
can't give me bread and water enough
to support me I'll beg it from some
one who can. 1 don't want good es-
tablisment or husband who will stay
at home in ease. want Jack, and l
mean to have him!"
THE boy always got what he want
ed, confound him." her father grum-
bled, good temperedly, and when he
said that, Violet knew that her case
was won.
Her mother, after the manner OF
peoples romance, and hopefully as
sured her that Jack would win promo
tion in some miraculous way without
seeing much dangerous service.
So when Violet said: "Mother, dear,
don't want swell wedding, | don't
even want wedding-dress-Jack likes
me in sailor serge better than any
thing; but do want to go out and be
as near him as l can. Take me to
Cairo, and let the chaplain marry
us as soon as the fighting over"
Mrs. Kellar agreed to do so, and all
their acquaintance declared that the
mother was as great fool as the
daughter.
Violcts letter was keeping his heart
warm this day as Tamai. He was feel
ing unaccountably happy and light
hearted, as after sharp tussle with
half-a-dozen Arabs, three of whom he
killed with his revolver, he was allowed
breathing time for q few min Dutes, DUR
ing which he cut the word "Suakim'
on the little black pipe that had been
his inseparable companion during the
whole of the campaign.
Suddenly just as he had lighted and
returned smoking it, he heard frantic
shout, and glancing up he saw young
Kellar dash forward and fire at some
one behind him (Jack). Simultaneous
ly he felta sharp agonizing pain in his
back, and he knew that he was struck
by poisoned spear An Arab, who
had been concealed in bush, had crept
out and stabbed him before young Kel-
lar could intervene.
He had staggered and then fallen on
his face, and they thought he was
dead for minute. But when they
lifted him and were carrying him away
a faint flicker of the old fun came into
his fading blue eyes as he said:
81 wanted Violet and the V. G. so
much. S'pose twas Satan"

WHAT MAN CAN no.


Man hasn't had much of boom lately.
1t Is Woman's time. It is Woman here
and Woman there, until Man has reason TO
think that he Is of comparatively small
Importance In the world. Occasionally he
has a crumb CT comfort, but there is moth
ing to encourage him to feel very big. 1t
seems to be only question of time when
he will be completely crushed and OBJ.
scured. He has already reached a point
where the powerful aid of Science has to
be called In to show that he amounts to
anything. Once his superiority In all
respects was plain and undisputed. Now
1t is plain In few and undisputed In none.
But some scientific gentlemen in Paris
have been making an investigation, whose
results will at least give ground for some
further argument in bis behalf.
In consequence of this Investigation 1t
is asserted that Man can smell, zee and
taste better than Woman. The sense of
smell in the male subjects experimental
upon WAS keen enough to detect the pres
enoe of the hundredth part of grain of
prussic acid. The female subjects only
detected the poison by smell when the
twentieth part of a grain was present;
proving that the sense of smell is FIVE
times as keen in men az 1t ia in women.
Sight was found to be general in the male,
and particular in the female subjects. In
other words, the men took in the general
aspect of a scene at a glance, while in
the women some striking feature of the
same view was apparently all that i'm
pressed them. The sense of sight was
found to be five times more acute in the
males than in the females. A woman only
detected by taste, upon an average, the
twentieth part of grain of gall, while the
men detected the presence of the sixdeth
part of a grain, proving that this sense is
three times more active in the latter than
1t Is In the former. About the sense of
touch, no definite conclusion was arrived
at. The experiments were not oomprehen-
sive enough to demonstrate any decided
superiority upon one side or the other.
1t Is we'll enough to have such facts as
these established, but they are not very
impressive or valuable. 1t wont do Man
any good to be able to see, taste and smell
more than Woman does If Woman doesn't
feel inclined to allow him credit for 1t.

GUARANTEED sWINDLE.

There's nothing like looking at the cheer
full side of things. Thus, the Woroester
Spy, in considering the condition of the
affairs of the Northwestern Guarantee
Loan company, of Minneapolis, in which
many New Englanders are interested, finds
solace in thinking and saying: But suppose
that the recent panic had been deferred for
five or ten years. So long as money WAS
plenty and easy to obtain, this man Menage
ations until, when the crash came, as it
would certainly have done with the first
severe financial pinch, the losses might
have been twenty instead Of six millions,
and the number of sufferers many times
greater than at present.
Mensge, who is now In Chill, would
doubtless have been glad to have had an
opportunity to steal twenty millions, but
he ought to be satisfied now. His scheme
was well planned and well worked.
The names of its directors were an all
sufficient assurance of the conservatism of
its management. Millions of money were
intrusted to its keeping. More than $2,-
600, 900 was advanced to ii on what 1t guar
auteed to bs good commercial notes by
banks and other corporations. When the
company failed, no ono suspected that
there would be an ultimate loss. The suE-
pension of the company was regarded
| as merely temporary, and 1t was
thought that If given sufficient time TO
realize on Its assets, every investor would
be paid in full. But, after a long and
patient Investigation, IL has been discov.
cred that many millions of nominal asset.
are worthless. The $500, 600 of notes
were either signed by irresponsible people
or by fictitious names. The eompsny's
great and valuable building In Minnespoli,
was not owned by 1t. Bonds and stooks Of
bubble corporations found among the as
sets were valueless. 1t was also ascer
tained that the directors whose names had
established the credit of the company
owned but few shsres of stock In 1t, ane
some of them had never been informed
that they were directors.
1t ia q sad story. II those who are in 1
can get any comfort ont Of the fact that
might have been worse If the panic hadn'
come they are fully entitled to 1t.
