Ohio and Indiana, although fairly
friendly to tramps, are noted for
certain hostile" features. The main
one of these is the well known tim

experienced this muscular instruc-
ton at one unfortunate time in my
life. and must say that it is one of
the best remedies for vagabondage
that exists. But it is very crude and
often cruel ...
In company with two other tramps
I was made to run the gantlet ex-
tending from one end of the town OF
Oxford, Ind, to the other. Inc
bows and men who were "timberlng
us threw rocks and dubbed US most
diligently. came out of the scrape
with a rather sore back, and should
probably have suffered more had l
not been able to run with rather more
than the usual speed. One OF my tel-
low sufferers, heard, was in hospl-
tai for some time. My other COM
panion had his eye gouged terribly,
and l fancy that he will never visit
that town again.
Apart from the timber" custom,
which understand is now practleed
in other communities also, these two
states are good begging districts.
There are plenty of tramps within
their boundaries, and when "the
eagles are gathered together" the car
cass to be preyed upon is not far
away. ay.-Century.

FEMALE, WOMAN, LADY.
The distinction Between Several Words
and How They May BE Used.

Ine U1Sttnct1On BeLWeen SeVeral hoEus
and How They May BE Used.
An interesting discussion is going on in
the columns of some newspapers over
the use of the words "lady" and won
an" There is no real difference as to
the occasions upon which each word is
to be used, but there is frank acknowl-
edglnent upon the part of some that they
do nct use the word woman" where
their gocd sense tells them that they
should. for fear that it might give Of
fense to the person to whom it was df
Fected las not sufficiently polite"
There are certainly no words so abused
as "woman," "lady" and female"
Among certain people the use of the sec.
ond of these terms is like the wearing OF
fine clothes or jewelry. Originally be-
longing to q superior class they insist on
approprinting it to themselves as proof
chat they are the equals of any other So
cial body. Now, while all that may be
true enough and while class distinctions
have no place in this country this use OF
the word has led to some strange and
amusing confusions. The humorist who
depicted the servant as addressing her
mistress. MAN, the laundry lady is
a-wanting to speak to the woman OF the
house." did not have to depend upon his
imagination for his facts.
AS absurd things as that may be heard
in any one of the large dry goods stores
in town any day, and almost any news
paper will yield a rich specimen or two.
Bishop Warren. referring to this same
point, says that he glanced at the wall
opposite him at the moment and saw a
diploma from the 60 Female acade-
N.Y." and then turned to a bookcase and
read as the title of one of the volumes
there, "Female Holiness" In the report
of a southern woman's Christian tenn
perance union convention appears the
fact that "Mrs. Blank was chairlady."
Now the proper word in all this is
woman" That is always and ever
right. Than it there is no nobler or
stronger word in the English language
Man" is a general word as well as a
particular one, and as such includes both
sexes, so that the term chairman" sig
nifies no subservience of one sex to the
domination of the other. Ii called upon
to address stranger, a woman, then the
proper word is madam" and not lady,
this way" and lady, that way" as so
many ushers appear to think to be the
only solution to the problem of address.
Female" is never to be used as syno-
nym of woman" 1t is Term common
to one-half of the animal creation, and to
apply it to woman as the substantive of
designation is an insult. Lady" is ap-
plicable to every well bred and educated
woman, but it is something that is re-
served rather for social usage and has
not the sturdy strength and nobility OF
woman. Boston Journal.

Sleeping Under Feathers.

Years ago we used to smile with con.
scious superiority at the idea of the
Dutch sleeping under feather bed in
stead of over it. The idea of sleeping
upon hard mattress and climbing un-
der, a soft one seemed rather an ana
chronism and singular perversion Of
common sense, but the introduction Of
down or feather comfortables is simply
the utilization of that knowledge of
things which some of the older countries
had long ago known. Feathers are ex.
ceedingly warm. and covering made Of
them superinduces and retains the heat
In the human body.
A curious claim is now made for a new

sert that their product retains all the
natural warmth. but allows the impure
air to escape from the bed, how or
wherefore we are not informed.-Up-

A Word For tho Cat.

At this season, when the family de
parts from town, word must be spoken
in behalf Of the house cat, too often left
behind to lead Il yagrant and precarious
existence. Already on the Back Day,
where ''early closing" is the rule, the
cats have become conspicuous by tho alb
sence of their owners. A few less felines
in the world are not objected to, but
that suffering and slow starvation should
attend their taking of is a shame to hu
manity. Unless the devoted house cat
can be provided with summer home, II
should be mercifully put out Of exist
ence in way the animal society under
stands how to do perfectly. Boston Her

Color Protection From Intense Heat.

With reference to the protective effect
of certain colors against the suns rays,
years ago on my way to India the second
time, having already been invalided
home once from the effects of the sun,
ir occurred to me to try the photogra-
piers plan reasoned to myself that
since no one ever got sunstroke or sun
fever from exposure to dark source OF
heat or even to one which, though lumi-
nous, possessed no great degree of chem
ical energy-the furnaces in the arsenal,
for example-it could not be the heat
rays, therefore. which injured one, but
must be the chemical ones only.
If therefore one treats ones own body
as the photographer treats his plates
and envelops ones self in yellow or
dark red, one ought to be practically se-
cure, and since the photographer lined
the inside of his tents and belongings
with yellow it was obviously imnlaterial
whether one wore yellow inside or out.
had my hats and coats lined with yel-
low, and with most satisfactory results,
for during five years and even extreme
exposure never once did the yellow lin
ing fail me. but every time that either
through carelessness or overconfdence
| forgot the precaution very short ex-
posure sufficed to send me down with
the usual sun fever. Many friends tried
the plan and all with the same satisfac-
tory results. Cor. Lahore (India) Civil

Traits Inherited From a stopfather.

Touching our note on "Telegony, "
we have received a communication
which may interest Professor Ro

he desires it, there is an old woman
whose first husband had bright red,
thick curly hair" and their only child
had exactly the same kind OF hair.
The woman became a widow, and
she married secondly man with
straight, soft, light brown hair,
with not the least shade of red In 1t.
No two men could have been more
unlike in appearance. OF the second
family, there were four who resem-
bled their father and mother--the
mother had pretty brown hair and
eyes-then came boy and girl ex-
actly like the child of the first hus-
band, with the self same curly hair,
regular carrots blue eyes, and
similar features. "
They are all living now, in or near
the parish in question. Perhaps, nay,
probably, there were ancestors OF the
true parents, near or remote, who
had red hair, and therefore the case
is not quite a satisfactory one, but

Velocity Of the Earth.

The highest velocity attained by can
non ball has been estimated at l.G22 feet
per second. which is equal to mile in
3.2 seconds. The velocity of the earth
at the equator. due to its rotation on its
axis. is 1000 miles per second. or mile
every 3.6 seconds Therefore it has.been
calculated that if cannon ball were

SHE HAS RETURNED.
Miss Clippers Short Trip to Chicago.
With Samuel Herbert Dyott.

fourg men who come here from other
places and run away with Washington
girls seem to end their escapades behind
the bars. Two such cases have happened
during the past fe.y weeks. Carl Jatho an
ex-railway mail clerk, from Atlanta, Ga,
made a start when he went off with Maud
Gilbert, as printed in The Star at the time
and then Samuel Dyott, the shoe clerk
from New York, went of with Miss May
Clipper to Chicago. Both young men are
now behind the bars. Jatho is certain of a
prison sentence. and it is reasonably GER
tain that Dyott will not fare any better
Jatho, as published in The Star at the
time, met Maud Gilbert, a sixteen-year-old
girl, who was anxious to appear on the
the ex-railway clerk, a handsome man,
about thirty years old, induced her to go
with him under a promise to see that she
got in good theatrical company. 1t is to
his credit that there we're no improper re-
lations existing between them. Maud was
detained in New York at the time of
JatEo's arrest, but she has now returned
home with her mother, Mrs. Cynthia GIL
bert.
The prisoner was in Judge Marines
court in New York yesterday on a charge
Of abduction, and he plead guilty.
The court remaaded him for sentence,
which will be imposed on Friday.
In the case of Dyott the prisoner in
dulges in denials by the wholesale Of crime
although his relatives, it is said, have
made an offer to square his alleged short
age. AS heretofore stated, a copy of the
II dictment, charging embezzlement, has
been sent to Chicago. and the officers ex-
pect the prisoner here tomorrow or Friday.
Mr.. William Clipper and his daughter
May returned from Chicago last night, but
the deughter did not go to the home in the
Sun building. She was left at the home OF
a friend.
Her father is tired of the publicity given
the case, and refuses to say anything
about his Chicago trip. He has not vet
concluded his investigation concerning the
alleged matrimonial ventures of Samuel
Dyott, who took his daughter away. Con-
seQuently, he has not yet fully satisfied
himself about the matter. Whether or not
Dyott and Miss Clipper were married in
Rockville, Chicago or any place en- route
to the windy city, the police here are little
concerned, for the crime of bigamy, if such
a crime was really con mitted, was against
the laws of another jurisdiction, and Mr.
Clipper will see that there is a proper in
vestigation.
