Susan b. Anthony is OF the opinion that
sve are on the verge of an era Of unmarried
women. Our civilization, she says, is chang
ing. Daughters cannot be supported at
home, and there is nothing there to Busy
them. The women used to spin and weave,
make carpet and soap, but now all that is
done for them in the factories. Young men
do not make enough money to support
their wives, and there is such craze for
dissipation among them that the women
would rather go into a store for almost
nothing than to marry.-Reading Times.

Several years ago Max Muller gave great
nrominepce to sun myths. He explained
many of the stories belonging to the my

of the rising or setting of the sun. The
theory was made especially useful in inter
preting the mythology Of the Hindoos.-

Georgia's Purifying Spring.

There is a spring in Brooks county,
Ga, which ia very short time converts
wood and several other substances into
hard rock. The peculiar qualities of this
Georgia fountain have been known since
early in the century, when an old "ba'r
hunter" accidentally lost his knife in the
basin which has been followed out of
the granite strata by the ceaseless bub-
bling of the water. A month later the
old trapper again repaired to the spring
and was agreeably surprised to find his
favorite knife. The water had had no
effect upon the bright steel, not even to
the extent Of leaving speck of rust, but
with the wood of the knife's handle it
was far different The petrifying parti-
cles with which the water is SO highly
impregnated had entered every pore and
sap tube in the wood, and what was but
few weeks before hickory handle Of
"home make" was now two thin slabs of
solid stone, woodlike in appearance, but
as hard and unyielding as chip from a
granite bowlder. To this day the place
is known as 'old Moore's petrifying
spring."-St. Louis Republic.

To Improve Plaster Casts.

A plaster cast or bas-relief, however
beautiful in form, is inartistic on ac-
count Of the disagreeable effect of the
dead white plaster. This unsightliness
can be entirely overcome and the stair
cite or group in relief made to look like
piece of old ivory by rubbing the sur
face with melted wax mixed with an in
finitesimal quantity of raw sienna OF
lumber. If well rubbed after it has been
waxed, it will take on soft polish, and
the crude plaster will be transformed
into a material that is quite delightful
in texture and color. Casts of Barye's
lions when treated In this way are really
superb, and a bit of antique frieze MAJ
be made to look like marble mellowed
by age.-New York Tribune.

Wig and Gown.

1t was once the invariable practice Of
barristers to powder their wigs, but this
custom has now almost entirely disap-
peared from the bar. Only one advo-
cate, SO far as we are aware, saves it
from absolute death, and he is Sir Henry
James, whose black shoulders are always
sprinkled with the white powder that
falls from his wig. This distinguished
lawyer shows that wig and gown may
be worn in mcre ways than one. His
gown never fails to slip from his shout
ders while he is addressing the court,
and he is accustomed to herald each
fresh argument he brings to bear upon
the case By attempting to restore the
fallen gown to its proper place.
In this respect he resembles another
eminent c. G., Nr. Finlay, whose gown
is always half way down his back Sir
Charles Russell AID Sir Richard Web
ster and tie ether leaders of the bar do
not display my peculiarities in the wear
ing Of their wigs and gowns. There is at

his nose London Tit-Bits.

as we'll as soldier and ordinary business
man. He is, or was few days ago, in Jail
at Belleville, Ills, and his criminal career
is apparently run, for his life is now pretty
well known, and he is too old to take fresh
start.
His history begins in 1910, when he was
respectable citizen of st. Louis. He vol
unteered for the Mexican war, served with
honor, located in New Orleans and claims
to have been worth $4,000 when the civil
war began. He lost it all. but escaped to
St. Louis, and having learned tricky ways
in evading the blockade found it impossi
BILE, SO he says, to quit In the last thirty
years he has been in prison at least dozen
times and sentenced to long terms nearly
as often, but has as often escaped, gen.
orally by feigning insanity and getting
into the hospital. His capacity to change
his appearance was wonderful, and on sew
eral occasions he was rearrested in the
same city as before, and the officers failed
to recognize him. He got the nickname Of
general because his most skillful sin
sanity dodge" was to act as IL commanding
an army in battle.
In 1882 large losses of cattle and horses
in the vicinity of Carlyle, Ills, were traced
to Neff, and he was captured, having in
his possession when arrested thirty-two
horses, one of them being worth $1,000.
Neff was sent to. the penitentiary for seven
teen years on this occasion. When he had
been year or two in the penitentiary ho
began to work the insane dodge again.
This time he pretended to be silly and
idiotic The police system of the country
was not so perfect then as now, when
criminal is as well known by his record in
one city of the Union as another, and Neff's
dodge again succeeded. He was sent to
the insane wards and for a time made no
attempt to escape. He finally was regarded
by the attendants as only harmless inn
beetle.
One day in 1887 he again disappeared,
and shortly after horses began turning up
missing in Neff's old haunts. The author
tiles realized that they had been duped,
but although strenuous means were re-
sorted to to capture Neff he evaded arrest
until March 10 last. On the night of
March 20 last Police Officer Dennis Nc
Guire, of the Second district police sta
tiop, found white man and negro fight
ing on the corner of Trudeau and De Kalb
streets and arrested them both. When
taken to the station Captain Huebler rec
ognized Neff, and he was sent back to Ches-
ter to finish his seventeen year sentence.
Five months ago he again escaped and
was not captured until recently Now he
is in on his old sentence, his lodges are
known in all the police and detective
offices, and, as he sorrowfully says, his
career is run. He expects to die in prison
and is reconciled to it.

SIR JOHN ROBINSON. Cape Colony and
Natal should join and give South Africa
the same standing Canada and Australia
now have.
Sir John Robinson is the latest au.
thority to be quoted. Born in England
he went to Natal in early manhood, soon
became prominent and has been a mem.
Der OF the Legislative council for twenty.
nine years. He says the movement fc1
confederation has been in progress fol
seventeen years, yet he cannot see that
it has made much progress, one great
difficulty being the anomalous position
of the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State. These We're settled by discon-
tented Beers and others who left the Brit
ish territories and are free republics.
Nevertheless they are cut off from the
sea by the British colonies and connected
with them in ways SO peculiar that only
politicians on the spot can understand
their relations.
Cape Colony and the Free State, for
instance, have d customs union, and
therefore common tariff, but Natal
would not join it because she preferred
a much lower tariff, and the Transyaal
because her Beers opposed union of any
sort with the hated Englishmen. This
last feeling is giving way, and a GUS
toms union might be effected, but this
would involve "a financial system includ-
ing two British colonies and two foreign
states and deprive the colonies of the
advantages proposed for imperial feder-
alton. Prosperity, however, is great
solvent of racial and social hatreds, and
the rapid development of the country is
expected to reconcile Britons and white
Africanders, Beers and Zulus.
1t is a pleasing fact that the writings
Of Olive Schreiner have interested many
people in South Africa, and tens of
thousands of Americans acquired their
chief knowledge of life in that country
by reading the "Story of an African
Farm" AS indicated in her work, the
greatest difficulty in the new lands is
want Of water, and with a scientific sys-
tenn of irrigation it is probable that many
millions of fertile acres could be utilized.
