The Clever Woman Has n Future.

A young woman. who has recently
taken the decree Of electrical engineer
is now employed by the Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing Company
Of Pittsburg. Both she and her brother
are employed in the mathematical de-
partment of this establishment, and
both display phenomenal mathematical
abilities. The sister and brother are
very highly esteemed by the heads OF
the company and regarded as valuable
employees, but 1t has been noticed that
college education has impaired grace
and polish to the girl, while her brother
remains somewhat rustic, though
bright and thoroughly likable young
man. This is only another indication Of
feminine adaptability and gives added
proof that clever woman has a wider
brighter future than a clever man Of
the same education and under the same
conditions. =

Practiced on His Mothers Face.

There is a barber in Jersey City who
owes all the knowledge. he possess of
shaving mems faces TO his mother
Rather a strange statement. isn't il?
Still il is a fact. and this is the explana-
ton: When the barber was an appren-
tice in Trenton, he was of a particularly
nervous. timid disposition and dreaded
making an attempt to shave. He was
ridiculed without mercy by his shop
mates, and was about to give up in
despair when his mother took a hand
The boys father had been a barber be-
fore him. and il was his dying injunc-
ton that his son should follow the same
trade. 1t was a desire to obey this behest
that induced the well-meaning mother
to lather her own face and permit her
nervous boy to scrape her smooth cheeks.
This he did half a dozen times a day for
two weeks, until the good old soul had
such a sore face that she had TO tie it
up in bandages.
They say it was an amusing, withal
pathetic spectacle, when the old lady
leaned back in her chair and permitted
her nose and mouth to be filled with
soapsuds, and then 10 run the risk of
having her throat cut or her chin
hacked, but she stood it like a martyr.
The boy eventually gained sufficient con-
fidence TO slice off real boards. He would
never have been a barber but for his
mOther.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

Decrease of the Tsetse Fly.

Tt is we'll known that many parts Of
Africa are closed to the explorer in con-
sequence of the existence of the dreaded
tsetse fly, whose bite is fatal to animals
1t has long been suspected by African
travellers that this terrible south African
scourge draws its poison from the dead
bodies of wild animals. This theory is
now strongly supported by NJ. Foa, the
French explorer. He proves that in the
Transvaal the tsetse is no longer a pest,
presuma bly, owing to the almost complete
extinction of wild carnivorous animals
On the contrary. in the region of the
Zambesi. where wild elephants and other
animals die and purify, the tsetse is
still a plague

sister, who wore a spotless white apron
and scarlet cape over her shoulders, and
who had just left the bedside
Il fear so" Sister MacDonald's sweet
face grew sad. and she sighed. She had
felt very sorry for Color-Sergt. Rhodes.
and had nursed him tenderly during
many dreary months Of pain and dis
comfort. But she grieved less now that
the indescribable blue shade was spread
ing at last over his face-that his eyes
were shut, and the perspiration lying
cold on his forehead. He was so lonely,
and it was better that he should go,
thought Sister Macdonald. Other men
had friends TO come and sit beside them
old and young women with tender and
fearful eyes, and faithful hands to grasp
theirs, but no one ever came to see
Color-Sergt. Rhodes excepting now and
then an officer or old comrade of his
battalion. And lately even these had
seemed to forget him.
When the post came in that evening
the sister found rather TO her surprise
that there was one letter at last for her
bedside. He was breathing heavily, and
his hand. when she touched it. was very
clammy and cold.
"A letter for YOU" she said in a low
voice.
He lifted his eyelds a little but made
no other movement.
Shall open the cover and give you
the letter."
