1t 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
thoughtless tongue the pen in woman's
hand is as harmless as dove. All too
prevalent In these days is the spirit of
cruel and thoughtless criticism among
women. Thoughtlessness Of speech has
done more to injure woman than any
single element in her life. 1t has laid her
open to the charge of being unreliable
and ofttimes justly SO. 1t has kept from
her condolences that were hers by right.
1t has stood in the way Of her progress.
It has placed her innumerable times In
false positions. II has judged her as be-
ing cold where she was In reality affec-
tionate; cruel where she was gentle. 1t
is the one inconsistency in woman's ma
ture that has baffled many one anxious
to believe in her.--Ladies' Home Jour
nal

Queer Phenomena Of railing Bod,es.

am unable to say who first noticed
the peculiar caprices of stone or other
heavy body dropped from the top of a
high tower, but 1t is nevertheless curl
GUS fact that such objects invariably fall
slightly to the east of the perpendicular
line. Persons of inquiring turn of mind
who ask why this is as 1t is may find an
answer in the following: All falling bod
les partake of the earth's eastward mo-
ton to greater or lesser extent. There
fore during the time occupied by stone
in falling from the top of high tower
or other eminence the earth's rotary mo-
ton has carried it an appreciable dis
lance to the east. The initial impetus
of the stone has carried it to the east
ward also, therefore it strikes the earth
to the east of the perpendicular, vary
ing in degree according to the height
from which it has fallen.
A curious article on this subject may
be found in the Leipsic Zeitung of May
8, 1889, page 8. The author Of the ar
ticle, who has given it the title of 1.-THE
Nonperpendicularity of High Towers"
claims that the tower on St. Peters ca
thedral at Rome leans 16 inches to the
east.-St. Louis Republic.

The method Of strengthening copper
steam pipes by means Of cooled 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 II tons per square inch.
The wireis put ON in two or three indie
pendent spirals, and the ends of each
are independently fastened to the fanges.

Blue Monday.

A great many people have what they
call blue Monday-that is. they do not
fell so well then as on other days Of the
week. The cause is found In overeating
on Sunday. A good dinner is provided
and eaten, and then, instead Of taking
the customary exercise, the man sits
about the house and reads or sleeps, OF
course he feels badly the next day. II
the same amount of exercise and kind Of
diet were taken on Sunday as all other
days, there would be no such thing as
blue Monday. Philadelphia Record.

A Singular Coincidence.

The chaplain of an American Jail
vouches for the following. A little boy
was taken by his parents to visit the
prison, and on passing one of the cells
in which notorious criminal had been
incarcerated his father playfully pushed
him in and closed the door upon him.
The child, overcome by some vague ter
ror, screamed aloud and could scarcely
be comforted by his mothers caresses.
Years passed. The lad half thought
lessly fell into crime and was only re-
called to his better nature on finding
himself, having been sentenced to q term
of Imprisonment, in the identical cell
into which he had been momentarily
thrust as child.

Five years ago an oculist examined
Caroline's eyes and told her she was near
sighted--a fact she had known for the
previous decade. He prescribed glasses,
and she purchased them. She concealed
them in that drawer of the bureau that
was always kept locked, except when it
was necessary to take out or put away
certain valuables and keepsakes. When
nobody was about, she would wear them.
She was reluctant to do so, but they add
ed to her comfort. And the newspapers
and Thackeray and Hawthorne and Bal
FAC must be read, even at the expense of
personal vanity. So
An unmarried woman, with no father,
no mother, an income of pittance,
single servant, was excusable for doing
almost anything. So she wore them.
She did not dare to look at herself closely
in the mirror when she first put them on.
She stood about 10 feet back, at which
distance she noticed that her hair had
an iron gray appearance. She gained
courage awhile later, and examined her.
self in the hand glass. That iron gray
shade was her optical illusion. There
were black hairs and white hairs--a
slight predominance Of white. Rarely
thereafter did she wear them when gaz-
ing into the mirror. She turned her
head away when walking past it. Every
time she put them on she did it with a
wry face. Once she cried and was about
to throw them away, but restrained her.

A few weeks ago Caroline plucked the
last black hair from her snow white
head. She did it with the same petu-
lance with which 10 years before she
had drawn out the first thread of white,
the one ray of light in the black dark
ness. She took from the bureaus secret
drawer small envelope, and from this
distracted that original curiosity. She
placed it by the side of this latter day
curio, the black hair, the last remnant
of the cascade that had been the admira-
ton of her school friends. She wound
them about her fingers and tied them,
then placed them in the envelope.
1t was the spirit of the gambler In his
moment of desperation with which she
had done this. The world should know
now that Caroline could grow old I'M
