Women are as courageous as men.
Experience has proved that they con
be as enduring us the eterner sex.
All have read of the courage dis
played by the womeE nurses, who,
during the time of the terrible yellow
fever epidemic III the South, gave up
their lives for the sake of others. Also
Of brave Ida Lewis. who has taken
the place of her father as light. house
keeper at Lime Rocks, New Jersey,
ever since 1879, and who has saved
the lives OF so many human beings.
1t takes a great amount OF courage to
go alone over the pest-tossed seas
TO save tho lives OF others, as does
noble Ida Lewis
If we could wander awhile in the
different cemeteries throughout the
Northern and Southern States, we
could see many an unmarked grave,
the last resting place Of daring, corr
ageous soldiers who gave their lives
for their country, and who, like Ma
than Hale, wished they had many
lives TO give for&heir native land. He
had the courage TO offer all he pos
sessed to his country-his life. For
we'll he knew the penalty he would
suffer were he caught inside of the
British lInes-a felon's death. He
was caught and hunged as spy, but
was he spy? With his last breath
he spoke these words words that will
live as long as the world lasts: II

No one can foretell who are the he

crisis arises to put them to test, and
no critical moment puts us to the
test that does not bring US alone and
single handed to face the danger.
Pain may bs as firmly endured in the
lonely chamber rs on the battle field,

gees suffering in solitude, with moth
ing TO disengage his mind. 10 more
valiant than he who has to bear dis
tress on the field of battle, whore the
clash Of arms and the roar Of cannon
serve to pacify his sufferings.
1t is not always the great, bolster.

A Hard Times Story.

A man entered a pawnbroker' shop
in the Bowery, and laying down $50
bill asked if he could be accommodated
with 81 on it. The pawnbroker was an
excellent judge of money and saw at
once that the bill was genuine. So he
turned and said to the stranger, showing
the bill toward him as he spoke, that
he was in no mood for nonsense. But
the stranger, showing the bill back, re-
joined in earnest tones that he meant
business; that he couldn t get any con-
ductor on horse car to change the
bill that he had already been put off
three cars; that his boots were awful
tight, and that unless he could get 81
on the bill he would be compelled to
walk to Battery. Well, the pawnbrok-
er couldn't but feel that the stranger
meant what he said. So he took up
the $50 bill, toyed with it few mo-
ments and then said to him, swell my
friend, I'd like to accommodate you,

Obeying Orders.

An English farmer was one day at
work in the fields, when he saw a
party of huntsmen riding about his
farm. He had one field that he was
specially anxious they should not ride
over, as the crop was in condition to
be badly injured by the tramp of
horses, so he dispatched boy in his
employ to this field, telling him to shut
the gate and keep watch over it and on
no account to suffer it to be opened.
The boy went as he was bid, but was
scarcely at his post before the hunts
men came up, peremptorily ordering
the gate to be opened. This the boy
declined to do, stating the orders he
had received, and his determination
not to disobey them. Threats and
brides were offered in vain. After
awhile one of noble presence advanced
and said in commanding tones: my
boy, do you know meY l am the Duke
of Wellington-and I command you to
open the gate"
The boy lifted his cap, then answered
firmly: II am sure the Duke of Viii.
lington would not wish me to disobey
orders. l must keep this gate shut
No one is 10 pass through but with my
master 8 express permission"
Greatly pleased, the sturdy old war
rior lifted his own hat and said: %
honor the man or boy who can be
neither bribed nor frightened into
doing wrong. With an army Of such
soldiers, could conquer the world"

OFFICIAL FIGURES ON TIN.
The Tremendous Amount OF Tin Plate
Made In America.

WASHINGTON, Sept Especial Agent
Ayers much talked of suppressed re-
port" on tin plate, has been given out
by the treasury department. 1t shows
that during the period from July 1st,
1891, to March 81, 1893, the aggregate
production of tin plate in this country
from sheets rolled in the United States
was "a, ,473,O52 pounds. The aggregate
amount of imported black plates which
have been converted into tin plate in
the United States was IS, 200, ,2S2 pounds
making the grand total of both kinds
1895, ,84 pounds.
The increase of thu March quarter
over the December quarter of tin plate
produced in this country is 3,8O0,000
pounds, and of imported black plate
$3.50, 900 pounds. Ten firms use their
own black plates exclusively, thirteen
firms use both American and foreign
plates and nine use only foreign plates.
Agent Ayers states that his figures as
given are made up from sworn returns
from manufacturers, and he encloses
the oaths to disprove the assertion that
the figures of tin production are based
on estimates.
The report for the quarter ended
March 81, 1898, the last made shows the
to have been 29,568, 1906
pounds of which forty per cent were
made from American black plates. He
estimates the production for the June
quarter at 35,OOO,OOO pounds or total
production for the fiscal year or more
than 100, 100000 pounds. He gives fig
ures which show that many of the
tin plate manufacturers are adding to
their plant. No decrease of plant or work
ing force is mentioned in single case.

Women In Mems Clothes.

The two women in Yates county who
wrote to Governor Flower for permits
sion to wear trouCers in order to facili-
tate their farm work only succeeded N
puzzling the chief executive and his
clerks and putting the law officers of
the State to some trouble in studying
over the code.
Assistant District Attol ney Cohn says
the laws of this State on the subject
are that persons are forbidden disguis-
ing themselves or masquerading in
public, but it would be sad twisting
of the statutes that sought to forbid a
woman from the orderly wearing of
any decent costume that seemed best
to her. But other States are not so
liberal and enlightened. Some COM.
monwealths deny absolutely this much
to be desired privilege to the sex. Mis-
souri, compromises. In that State a

The Goliath of Rig Rasin.

In Big Basin, Santa Cruz County,
Cal, there are thousands of giant red
woods that will measure from 10 to 90
feet in diameter. But the Titan of
them all is giant known far and near
as ''the Goliath of Big Basin" This
monstrous vegetable growth is 90 feet
in diameter at the ground and is per-
fectly solid, fact noted as a rarity in
these colossi of the forest, Goliath is
fraction over 200 feet in height, the low
or 100 feet of the trunk being free from
branches or unsightly excrescences
Experienced woodmen declare that the
tree would weigh more than 100000
tons and that it would "cut" 500, 900
feet of clear board measure lumber,
besides 100 cords of wood that could
be gotten out of the limbs and waste.

Mysterious DEVILS Lake.

DEVILS Lake, in Calhoun County,
Ala, seventy miles east of Birmingham,
is one of the most remarkable natural
curiosities to be found in America. 1t
is thus described by Pittsburg Dis
patch correspondent: The lake is oval
in shape, and covers about four acres
of ground. No vegetation of any kind
grows on its banks, and nothing lives
in it's waters. Even snakes and terra
pins shun the waters of DEVILS Lake,
and fish placed it it die in a few hours.
The water is pure limestone, with Pc
culiar taste, which makes it unpalatable
to man or beast. Horses and COWS will
not drink it, no matter how thirsty they
may be.
Deep down below the surface of the
lake may be seen what appears to be
the charred and blackened trunks of
large trees. They stand upright in the
water, but have neither root nor branch
and never rise to the surface or sink to
the bottom. The lake has no outlet,
and the volume of water in it is the
same all the time.
A strange fatality attaches to this
lake. Once it was the favorite resort
of the boys of the neighborhood for
bathing and swimming, but now they
never go near it. Fifteen boys have
drowned in its waters in twice as many
years. A few of the bodies were iecov-
cred, but those who were drowned any
distance from the banks sank to the
bottom and were never brought to the
surface.
The depth of the lake has never been
ascertained. Sounding to the depth of
700 feet found no bottom, and the peo-
pie in the vicinity say the lake has
none. The Indian legend of the origin
of the lake is that before the white
man came to this country two tribes
became involved in war, and after a
number of bloody battles the smaller
tribe was almost exterminated. Then
the old men and chiefs of the weak
tribe sued for peace and arranged for a
council. While the pipe was being pass.
around signal was given and the
chiefs of the strong tribe suddenly
sprang up with drawn tomahawks and
murdered every one of the chiefs of the
smaller tribe.
The war was renewed and car
