What is the reason one hears In public
places the loud voices of women SO much
oftener than men?
Women-these loud voiced ones-seem
TO have the fancy that they cannot be
seen unless they are heard And SO they
cant-in their true character. II it were
not that their words and laughter fioated
out into space and above the hum of all
other voices they really might at some
time get mistaken for ladies'. From
their looks no one would imagine for an
instant that they were common, i'll bred
and vulgar.
A quiet fash Of intelligence from their
eyes. accompanied by an appreciative
smile. would really convince an onlooker
that possibly it was the forerunner OF
tho keenest wit. But no wit can ac-
company the loud guffaw that bursts
out at the slightest provocation; no wit
from the boisterous laughter and no ap-
preciation OF wit in others. Chicago

AN ANCIENT FARM HOUSE.
what the French Hosteiries Were Like
During the Middle Ages.

what the French Hosteiries Were Like
During the Middle Ages.
The houses OF the farmers and the
country people differed then as now, 40
cording to their rank and prosperity.
and also according to the district they
inhabited. The yeoman farmer, and
even the well to do husbandman, dwelt
in solid house Of brick or stone, tiled
or slated, with paved yard separating
it from tie barn and outhouses, the dai.
~ and cattle pens. The farm house
which in England was always construct
ed with southern aspect--as invariably
faced the east in Aquitalne, while to the
rear well open to the west was long
tilesl veranda, where In winter after
moons the hemp picking, the wool card
ing, ETC., were done.
Within the vast kitchen glowed in the
light Of the fire-almost as unextinguish-
able 40 the vesta1 virgin's--peat, coal and
wood were each abundantly employed,
and for trifiing rent, generally paid in
kind, the lord of the manor would per-
init the farmers on his land to cut their
turfs from his bog or their boughs from
his forest Fuel was not only actually
but relatively cheaper in the middle
ages than today, for the boys were not
drained in those days, the forest covered
great expanses, and the cost Of carriage
made it almost impossible to transport
their produce. In almost every shire of
France and England the supply Of fuel
was in excess of the demand.
This hospitable FIRE fared up a cnim-
ney proportional to its size, lighting the
huge brick oven, the iron firedogs, the
bellows. shovel, gridiron, ladies', cal
drons, saucepans, mortar, tin pals and
other utensils that stood on the brackets
of the hearth, and irradiating the brass
and copper pots, the metal candlesticks,
the lamp, the lantern, the not unfrequent
silver beaker, and the glass drinking
cups that were ranged on the chests and
cupbcards round the walls. Near this
fire stood high backed settle, the mas
ter's corner, and under the great mantle
of the chimney narrower benches were
set in the brick.
Within easy reach OF the hearth q deep
oak chest held the logs for burning. 1t
was generally matched by handsome
wedding chest with carved or painted
front, long enough to contain grown
person full length, but more usually filed,
it must be admitted, with the best clothes,
the trinkets and the savings Of the house
hold. The registers of the chatelet record
no crime so common as the breaking open
of such wedding chests; and it is surpris-
ing how many clasps Of jewels, girdles
Of pearls, golden headdresses and rings,
and purses full of gold were stolen from
quite humble households. Our fore
fathers invested their capital in cups
or trinkets of precious metal, pretty to
look at, easy to hide, and readily con-
verified into cash when necessity demand
ed a sacrifice. --Fortnightly Review.

THE NEW SENATOR.

Ex-Governor Perkins, of California,
will don the senatorial toga, ne having
been appoined by Governor Markham
to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Senator Stanford. A better appoint
ment could not have been made or one
that will more fully meet the expecta-
tions of the people of California. His
public record is almost without blemish.
His appointment is eulogized by the
leaders of both political parties. Even
the Examiner, that seldom has a good
word to say of G republican, honors him
in the following compliment;
"He has had practical experience as a
miner. sailor and merchant, and he
knows the coast thoroughly. We ex-
pect to see him become man of IN
fiuence in the senate. The political ca
reer of Senator Perkins was short but
creditabIe. He did good work IN the
state senate, and, later, he had the dis
tinctlon of being the only republican
elected to the go7ernorship between
Booth in 1876 and Markham in 1890.

QUITE recently sew eraI Mexican boys
we're arrested charged with stealing
calves, and naturally enough because Of
their youth, much sympathy was ex-
pressed in their favor. 1t trgnspiTed,
however, that ore of them at least, if
young in years was old in the violation
Of the law and merited punishment.
But there is q question beyond the boys
which deserves consideration, and that
is the party or parties 20 whom the
calves have been sold. The individuals
who bought them certainly knew that
toe boys could not come by such ami
mails honestly. 1t was offered in de-
Tense Of the young culprits that they
had been directed by older heads and,
although these older heads did not float
to the surface, it was reasonably msde
known that they exist. Boys of their
own Volition are not given to raising
cattle with branding iron unless they
are aided and abetted by others older IN
crime, but who cowardly ehirk the dan
gers attendant upon cattle thieying by
making criminals Of the younger ele-
ment. The boys should be dealt with
eniently. They are but the middle men
in the show and it is the end men that
should be traced up-the men who put
the boys forward with the expectation
of personal gain and the men who buy
the animals because they Gre cheap,
knowing them to be stolen.

The catalogue of the territorial nor
NAL school, at Tempe, for the years 1898
and 1894, has just been issued. The
school, with its course of instruction, is
of undoubted worth and a credit to the
territory. We regret much, however,
that the attendance is not more gener-
ally distributed. Of the eighty-siX
pupils enrolled last year forty-two were
from Tempe, twenty from Mesa: five
from ella Bend. seven from Phoenix,
three from Silver King, two from Rye,
and one from each of the following
named towns: Buckeye, Stoddard,
Lehl, Florence, Globe, Tucson and Cot
tonwood. The expense for books is
about SIS per year. Board and lodging
can be had of excellent quality for S25
per month and the course of instruction
will compare fgvorably with that of
normal schools in older settled commun-
titles. With efficient public schools, our
territorial. university and normal school
there can be no excuse for sending the
youth of the territory away for educa-
tion. We regret to say, however, that
this is too often done. There can be no
valid excuse for such course. The ter
ritory is well fixed educationally and
the student who conscientiously en-
braces the opportunity is well qualified
to fight life's battle successfully. To
parents we say, PatroniEe your home in
silt utions.

How Butcher Got Steer and Evad

A sharp trick was played by a Tucson
butcher. whose methods are questiona-

Oae of the firm was with the inspec-
tor when he overlook the butchers
wagon with a beef that had not been
inspected. Investigation showed the
hide belonged TO the cattle firm. He
went to the butcher and asked him
what he meant by killing his cattle
without buying them. why" was the
reply, II haven't. | bought the steeer
of your partner" He then named an
other butcher who had joined him IN
the purchase.
As the cattleman's partner had left
town that morning, which the butcher
knew. Ia WAS not certain that the steer
had not been sold. He therefore went
10 the butcher said to have gore into
the partnership on the purchase. ard was
informed that he had bought 10 steers
of that brand nor helped buy any.
The catt.eman thea went II the hide

er had brought there that morning. a
red hide was brought forth.
mo, not that one; a yellow one." said
the stockman, nov suspecting the trick.
I'VE have no other hide here from
him this morning." was the reply.
Back TO the butcher went the cattle
man and explained thst the butcher
named as partner in the purchase knew
nothing OF it. The reply was that the
butch didn't himself.
Be had no beef or hide of the cattle
mans brand, he said. Such was the
case. The evidence of the theft was
the hide and Its brand. During the ab-
sence of the owner of the dead steer the
incriminating hide was destroyed.
