Tit For Tat.

In Il small village up the river there is
a man who makes his living by catching
the floating wood out of the river, drying
it and selling it for various purposes.
Some time ago he caught an extraordi-
narily large log, which was too thick for
him to chop with his AK. He went to the
owner of q sawmill, one of the infiuen-
tial men of the town, and requested the
loan of his crosscut saw.
''No," said the mill owner, Il won't
loan my saw to be dulled." ''But can
sharpen it again if I dull it, persisted
the man. But the saw was refused, and
the wood gatherer was compelled to use
his ak upon the big log. Some time aft
er this an ice gorge came down the river
and carried away q section of the bridge
that crossed to the railroad station on
the other side. It was necessary for the
s;swmill owner to catch a certain train
that day to get 20 the city SO us to make
connection for New York.
He went to the bridge, and finding it
impossible looked abollG for q sl1iff. The
only one on that side Of the stream be-
longed to the old wood gatherer.
''Go up to old Blanks house and tell
him want the key to his skiff," said the
mill owner to his coachman. who was
carrying his valise.
The coachman returned in short
time with the wood gatherer in tow.
What do you want, Mr.. L." asked
the old man.
why, I'm in hurry and want your
boat to cross the river" was the impa-
tient reply.
''You do, do your retorted the wood
gatherer in a dignifed manner "Weli.
you can't have it. You can just cross
the river on your crosscut saw"
And the business man had to postpona
starting for New York until the mex.
day.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

HIS PASSPORT NOT SUFFICIENT.
Professor Mason's Experience at the Amerz.

Professor MaSOn's Experience at the Amerz'
can Embassy in London.
DR.. William p. Mason, professor of
chemistry in the Rensselaer, Polytechnic
institute at Troy, who returned the other
day from q trip through Europe, gives
this account of the reception he met with
at the United States embassy in London:
cit was the most humiliating thing
ever heard Of" Professor Mason said,
with great indignation. 81 had visited
the great educational centers of central
and southern Europe, and through the
courtesy Of our ambassadors, who fur
nished me with letters of introduction,
I was enabled to study the colleges and
universities as thoroughly as I wanted
to- In Paris Mr.. Eustin, whom I had
never met before, gave me a letter upon
The strength of my passport which en-
/. abled me to visit the Ecole Polytech-
nique, where the rules governing the ad-
mission Of visitors are very strict.
| "WE2n I reached London, wanted to
visit the Royal Military academy at
| Woolwich. Baedeker's guidebook says
| that no visitor is admitted there without
a card Of Identification from the minis
ter or ambassador of his country. I
went to the United States embassy and
saw the secretary who had charge of
those affairs. This is the conversation
that took place:
"'Can you give me q card that will
admit me to the Woolwich academy?'
You will have to present some iden-
tifcation,' he said.
"'Here is my passport
""That is not enough
"'Not enough? What the devil is
passport for anyway? Here is descrip-
ton Of my person, and here is my sigma
ture, all attested by the secretary of
state
"'Tm sorry, sir, but that is not suffi-
cient. You'll have to bring letter from
your banker.
"sWell. here is my letter of credit,
My banker here knows nothing about
me. He only gives me money on the
strength Of my signature, which is writ
ten on my letter of credit. Won't that
suffice for your
"sNo. You will have to bring a letter
from him.
"'But supposing 1 had no banker?
Wouldn't my passport suffice then?
"sNo, sir. 1t would not.
''Well, I went away pretty angry l
got a letter from my banker q did it
simply to see if he would give me one on
the strength of my letter of credit), but
[ did not use it in London. 1 thought |
would keep it to show to Americans who
intend to go abroad. 1 never heard of
such an outrageous thing before. If
passport isn't sufficient Identification in
the eyes Of United States ambassador
what is it good for anyway

his passport and the letter of Identified

LADIES' COLUMN.
INCOMPETENT WIVES.

There is no greater injustice than
mother to allow daughter to enter
womanhood or wifehood without a
practical knowledge of household
and it's requirements, writes Edward
w. Box in cat Home with the Edit
or" in the January Ladies' Home
Journal I care not how easy her be-
ginning may be made for her, how
everything may be provided her by
generous parents when she begins her
new career, nor how many servants
she may have at her call, woman is
cruelty handicapped who comes to
her own home without an intelligent
conception of it's management. 1t is
a popular thing in certain "smart
sets'' to scott at the utility of house
keeping, but nothing more surely
stamps the intellectual caliber of
girl than an indulgence in such feath-
err Drained commonplace. The girl
who believes she becomes fashionable
by being untrue to the best instincts
of her sex is the girl who some day
wakes up to wonder why other wo-
men are SO happily married, and she
still retains her single blessedness CD.
Wealth does not lessen the necessity
of a knowledge of home making and
housekeeping on the part of girl.
The largest retinue of servants re-
quires head, and an Intelligent one,
just as the largest business requires
master, and servants, whether IN
home or in an office, are quick to dis
cover incapacity and take advantage
of it. The woman who comes closest
to the solution of the servant girl
problem is the woman whom her ser
wants know is as incapable of doing
their work as they are themselves
Servants of any kind work best and
only under direction, and proper di-
rection requires knowledge. No study
is more vital to girl than this. Many
a girl, after marriage, has wished that
she knew less of comic sections and
more about cooking. The strongest
love of a husband for a wife is not
for the discomfort which is
sure to enter a home where the wife
betrays constant domestic incapaclty
IF the husband be the master OF his
business he expects his wife to be the
master of her home.
Writers and public speakers have
done much harm in referring to cook
ing as a homely art; on the contrary
no practical art exists which is more
graceful. A woman who fills her home
in every sense of the word, ELECTS
more true applause, worthy at all O.

The Art of Gong Without.

Like everything else in this life, pow
erty whether relative or absolute, can be
made cross or crown. It is all in the
way We take it. Who OF us has not known
homes where the sweet, bright spirit that
ruled them has wrought romsnco out OF
sodden care and rude denial? In later
life, when we look back upon deprivstions
of our first youth, what is it that we most
yiyidly remember-the things wo had, OF
the things we did not have2 An hundred
to one, venture to say, we recall tho
glory of possession rather than tho gloom
of denial. The little inventions and plots
and plans by which quick brain and
CHEEKY heart contriye to bridge the black
chasm between demand and supply "hold
fast all that they gave us"of the sweetest
things in character and the bravest things
in love.
Children especially, with their light,
bird like views Of the facts Of daily life,
are hard to injure and easy to please with
the shifts of wisely managed household
of economy. I remember, in one bright
home on 4andover Hill, what privilege
were considered the homemade dyes
which the limits of the professors salary
made picturesque necessity. 10 thus Day
I recall the gorgeous hues OIL think 1t
was the white oak-the rich canary-yellow
in which the children's mufaers or coats
took their walks abroad beneath the the
ologic elns as a something glorious, long
since unattainable, and forever to be hope
lessly desired, like rainbow, or the Jewels
in the gates OF gold. There Is more peo-
try in those yellow clothes to-day, l dare
to believe, than any Beacon-street baby
of that time can possible wiring, now,

wardrobe ordered carte blanche from the

The art of going without may be slow
", but it can be brightly learned. 1t
needs due patience, some pluck, and
doubtless. the proper share OF Christian
grace and resignation. But it needs some
thing else, If l may say so, just as IN
portant and more apt to be overlooked:
It needs the more worldly qualities OF
good spirits, and good sense snd inventive
ability. It is not enough to accept the will
of the Lord, and give up ones trip to
Chicago. One prefers to do il, gracefully,
eloriously, and even with disposition
to be Jolly about it. It is not enough dis

IN it since it has got to be done. 1t Is
not enough to cut down the open fires,

The Ark Beats All
TScienti6c American. I

Speaking Of ancient ships and ship
building, Prof. J. Harvey Biles said that,
though Great Britain and America had
made such great strides in shipbuilding,
none OF their wooden ships approached the
dimensions of the Ark, which was 45G feet
long, IS feet broad, and Is feet dsep. He
calculated that this was the size OF this
vessel from the Bible measurements. taking
the cubit to be Is inches. This, he
thought, was the correct measurement.
The largest wooden ship ahoat now
did not nearly approach the size OF the
Ark; the vessel was the Shenandoah, and
her dimensions wero 299 feet by 49 feet
broad and % feet deep. Even the Cam
pania was much smaller than the Ark,
except in the length, and the dimensions
of the Ark had only been extended in the
case OF the Great Eastern. In 1906 a
prize was offered for the best model OF q
ship made by any one in the United
Kingdom, and the models were on
views at the Royal Institution. The prize
was awarded to model six times the
beam to the length and ten times the
depth to the length, these being the same
proportions az the those Of the Ark.
