ThoushtIcssncss of speech.

It is not the pen that woman should fear so much and try to control as it is the tongue. The greatest lesson that woman has yet to learn is to think before she speaks. In comparison with the thoughtlcss tongue the pen ill d woman's s hand k as harmless as dove. All too prevalent in these days is the spirit of cruel and thoughtless criticism among women. ThoughtlessncSs of speech has done more to injure woman than any single element i'll her life. It has laid her open to the charge of being unreliable and ofttimcs justly s". It has kept from her confidences that were hers by right It has stood in the way of her progress. It has placed her innumcrablc times ill false positions. It has judged her as be ing cold where she was in reality affec tionate; cruel where she was gentle. It is the one inconsistency in woman's na- ture that has haffied many one anxious to believe in her. Ladies Home Jour nal

Mire Il strenrthener.

The method of strengthening copper steam pipes by means of coiled metal wire has been quite generally adopted in the Italian navy. The practice is to serve the tubes with one or two layers of wire wound under tension. The method is not considered applicable to other than straight tubes. The wire is of sufficient strength to carry the full load of steam. and the tension used in winding is about tons per square inch. The wire is put on in two or three inde- pendent spirals, and the ends of each are independently fastened to the flanges Safety Valve.

ADAMS NAlveTE.
A Woman Defends the First Man From
 Charges of Cowardice.


 And the Lord said, Hast thou eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee thou shouldst not eatg" The man said. ''The woman whom thou gavest to be with me-she gave me of the tree and did eat" This, it has been held for cen turies, was Adams great sin, for which he was driven out of the garden and his descendants, even to the present gen. eration, compelled to work for a. living. In addition to bearing the consequences of his error Adam has been denounced through all succeeding centuries for his cowardice and lack of gallantry in try ing to throw the blame upon the woman who had been given to be with him Gods first, best gift to man."
 We are glad, therefore, that even after 6.000 years of unmerited condemnation which the memory of our great pro- genitor has had to bear there has arisen one person who dares to speak for him. And it is all the more fortunate that that person is n woman-a member of the sex whom Adams words, by a wrong interpretation, were held to have maligned. This person is Mrs. Caroline F. Corbin, distinguished authoress. In her latest book she says of Adams plea
 This is not the expression of cow ardice, but of the innocent and native belief that anything which this lovely being, fresh from Gods hand, proposed must be right, and right or wrong must be done. It is a trait which has come down in unbroken continuity of inheritance to the latest born of Adams sons''
 The thought is a new one, but there is not man alive and capable of appreci- ating Mrs. Corbin's argument who will not indorse it. Where is there laan to- day, barring a few crusty old bachelors, who would not have done the same thing under like circumstances! The woman was beautiful, the apple was good, and Adam was an unsophisticated, ingenious young man unaccustomed to the little social arts and deceptions that the daughters of Mother Eve have learned from her example.
 We insist that Adam is vindicatetl and that Mark Twain's tears over his grave were a deserved tribute Now let the building of his monument pro. ceed. And let it be recorded thereon that he was q kind, loving and obedient husband. Troy Times.

Small Fortune Between the Cracks.

'
 \ cigar dealer was recently compelled to move from his down town stand which he had occupied for 35 years. be cause of the demolition of the old build ing.
 He packed his belongings with many a sigh of regret. When he had got his things all out, he turned to the work men, who were waiting to begin tearing down the building, and remarked in d rather sarcastic tone:
 Well, boys, you may have all you find in this old trap
 The workmen began on the old floor, which had been worn into hollows by age. It had not been replaced since it was originally laid.
 One of the men ripped up a board with his crowbar. raising a cloud of dust. When he got 1t ont of his eyes, he saw something shiny in the crack.
 He picked ii up, and it proved to be dime Further investigation revealed the fact that the crack was lined with silver.
 This was an incentive to the workmen They piled their crowbarS with remark able energy for men poorly paid. In this instance they were amply rewarded
 In every crack of the floor silver dimes were found. Some of them bore dates of nearly half century ago. The men gathered the coin in handfuls.
 The cigar dealer, Ill speaking of the e. currence. said that he hadn't the slight est idea that so much money could he lost through carelessncSs and q poor floor even in 35 years.
 But it won't happen again. he said. When heard of it, 1 immediately gave orders to have ny new store refoorcll with hard wood. and no cracks. at my own expense. New York Herald.
