Disadvantage. Of Women.

So much is said and written Of the
glorious progress OF women, the VIC
tories gair5d, the privileges and pre-
rogatiys1 acquired, that it is forgotten
SOMETIMES under what disadvantages
T5men still labor. In the higher insti-
tutions of learning in this country and
abroad women by no means enjoy equal
rights and privileges with men The
facilities for medical study are still far
from equal or adequate. Particularly
in experimental study and practice in
the hospitals women have few and I'M
satisfactory opportunities. Law schools
are rarely open 10 them. and In many
states women cannot be admitted to the
bar. Only two of the orthodox denomi-
nations allow women to preach with
the sanction OF the church, and the
great body Of Methodists refuse to the
women of their denomination voice In
their councils. Above all, In nearly all
professions and call:ngs, women receive
smaller salaries and inspire less con-
fidence in their ability than the men In
the same line of work.

RAISING GRAYnOUNDs,

Greyhound breeders are just now
agitated over the disappearance OF Col.

land aud Col. North held him at a very

claim to breed all the eoursing dogs
there, and say the American-bred do
not amount to much, but l have known
of large number of dogs being bred
and raised in California, then shipped
to England, where they were branded
as hnme-bred The climate in Califor-
mia seems adapted for the purpose and

wonderful Progress in Electricity.

In reviewing the marvellous progress
of industry in the United States during
the last decade, r. II. Edmonds says,
in the Engineering Magazines: In the
decade under review new industry OF
vast magnitude was created. Twelve
years ago electricity, as applied to street
cars, for power purposes OF all kinds,
for house and street illumination, was a
new thing. In fact, electric street rail-
road have only been in successful
operation about half that time. The
electrical age was practically just COM
mencing and the aggregate capital in
vested, outside of telegraphy, was small.
Now almost every town Of any size has
its electric railroad, streets everywhere
are being lighted by electricity, and
electricity furnishes power tor factories,
to run elevators and many other pur-
poses; still we have scarcely seen the
beginning OF electrical development.
Already, however, the capital invested
In all branches of this lndustry-and
nearly all invested since 1SS0-is esti-
mated at $50, 600.

The PlebeIan Peanut.

fashionably dressed, bright eyed
young miss to her pretty companion on
a Walnut street car yesterday. "Well,
what if they are? I'm going to have
them served at our miner party salted,
and they are perfectly lovely. Sailed
almonds aren't In 1t. All you do is to
buy the green or unparched peanuts,
parboil them, rub off the red envelopes,
spread the blanched nuts on a tin dish,
treat them to butter, then brown them
for half an hour in baking but not
QUICK oven, and when they are a light
snuff color, take them out at once and
salt them while hot. Just try that re-
cipe when you get home, and the lowly
peanut will become exalted 100 per cent.

The Awful Pause.

We usually talk about the weather
when there isn't anything else to talk
about. This fact may tend to rob the
subject OF its importance, yet it should
not. In fact, it ought to be greatly in

breaking the lawful pause"

awful pause?

and entitled to heartiest sympathy il

Very Useful il He Dosn't Wear Many
Diamonds.

There is one individual about hotel
who is seldom seen by the outside pub
lie, but who occupies one OF the most
responsible positions in every hosiery.
1t is the night clerk.
His duties are, of course, not as ardu-
GUS as the day or room clerk, but they
are very responsible. The house is
filed with sleeping people and he main
tains over all these precious lives an
indirect and important supervi-
sion. He looks after the watchmen
closely to see that the halls are
properly patroled and sharp lookout
kept for fires. At the disastrous Hotel
Royal fire in New York it will be re-
membered that it was alleged that the
great. loss of life there resulting WAS
mainly due to the fact that the night
clerk was at the time the fire broke out
either asleep or improperly attending to
his duties, as the flames gained such
tremendous Roadway before any effort
was made to arouse the guests.

and power to overcome adverse circum-
stances is given by Max Meyer, who
was born blind in Berlin twenty-eight
years ago. He received his first In
struction from a teacher Of the blind
and later attended the Sophien-Real-
Gymnasium, a scientific college in Ber-
lin. He was always among the best
students I'm the college and passed a
brilliant final examination. He en-
tered the University Of Berlin few
years ago to study mathematics, me-
chanics and philosophy. He took the
degree of Phi. d. few weeks ago, pre-
pairing a dissertation upon the differen-
tial calculus which excited the admira-
ton OF his professors.

The stranre-Looling nan Relates West
ern story.

The strengthening man sat In one
corner of the smoker and hadn't much
to say while the drummer and the
western real estate man were telling
their stories. He reused, however, al
ter a peculiarly peculiar one by the
drummer.
THAT reminds me-" he said, "of
something that happened once In
mining town in the Rockies, during the
good old times when everything was
new out there Like every other
mushroom municipality, We had among
US gamblers and greenies, toughs una
tenderfeet. One or these ten
derfeet was the most cowardly fellow,
In some ways, l ever saw, and how he
had ever came to such place COULDN'T
understand. He was afraid or every
body, and boy could bulldoze him,
but he was bright-minded, with -ane
turn for business, and was-nonest. A
pistol was horref to him, and he
wouldn't take drink OF whisky under
any circumstances, which, by the way,
required considerable courage. In his
case il did, at least, as 1t afterwards
turned out, for one day he refused 10
drink with the ugliest, most dangerous
man we had, and row en-
sued The tough whipped out a
pistol and would have killed the fel-
low, but someone caught his arm,
and the other man went down on his
knees and begged for his life. 1t was
no good. however; the tough was drunk
and was determined to Kill him, and TO
prevent an open murder, someone sng-
gested that they fight 1t out In the
street, and revolver was put into the
hands of the tenderfoot. He didn't
know how to handle the gun at all, and
while one man showed him what to do,
four or five more held the tough. Then
they were put at ten PAGES, and a more
abject, scared specimen l never saw
than that tenderfoot. He could hardly
stand up and his pistol wobbled about as
If it were swung to str0g. The tough
enjoyed 1t more than anybody else,
for he felt sure of his victim. After he
had watched the shivering wretch a
moment he pulled up his gun, and at
same time the tenderfoot pulled his up
and tried to aim it. Then, bang went
the tough's gun and almost simultane-
ously followed the report OF the ten
derfoo.'s. The tough dropped like a
shet OK, and the tenderfoot threw up
his right hand and howled with pain
and fear. We rushed up and found the
tough dead, with bullet through his
heart, and the tenderfoot with his fin
gers and hand bloodlng, but not seri-
ously injured. The bullet from the
toughs pistol had struck the trigger Of
Of the tenderfoot's and discharged 1t
with fatal result"
The strengthening man had appar-
emily no more to say and his listeners
looked at each other questioningly.
The drummer coughed suspiclously.
"May 1 ask" he said, "how it hap
pened that the tough's bullet didn't take
tenders finger off before 1t reached the
trigger of his pistol?"
'Simple enough" replied the strange
looking man frankly; "he didn't have
his finger on the trigger; no had It on
the trigger guard and he would have
been pulling on it yet, to make the gun
go off, il luck hadn't been against the
tough"
The strengthening man relapsed
into his former silence, and nobody had
the cheek to try to tell any more stories.

Electric Railroads for the Country.

The development Of electric railways
in rural communities promises to be q
great thing for many towns which have
been left to one side in the construction
of steam railroads. Electril railways
are built at comparatively light cost;
they do not require surveys or bridge
building or difficult engineering, for the
highways are ready for them; and they
take little account of grades. Running
along the country roads, they will knit
together scattered village and parts OF
villages, and will bring lonelp farm
houses, situated several miles from
railway station, into regular communi-
cation with the outside world. When
New England is gridironed with them,
as it promises to be, the abandoned
farms" will be cut up into house lots
