brilliant critics and wits Of the famous
fable writer's time. lis such a fool that
he does not know he has more genius
than Esop or Phedrus.'
In truth, he was a severe critic of his
own work. He attended the first presen-

some ladies who did not know him. A.

Then he went out, entered a cafe and
vent to sleep in a corner. Some OF his
friends found him there and inquired
why he wasn't listening to Astree.

Absolutely Necessary In Order Thas the

When the eyes are treated fairly, they
are strengthened, not weakened, by
work. Just as the arms Of a blacksmith
grow the stronger for his trade, so the
eyes Of watchmskers who work under
healthy conditions are found to improve
and not to deteriorate in vigor and
auickness. 1t is the abuse of the eyes,
not their use. which is to be avoided.
If a man is aware either that his eyes
need no artificial correction or else
aave received their proper adjustment,
and if his work, whether literary or
mechanical, is done in a light both
steady and sufficient and with a due re-
gard as to ordinary sanitary rules. he
may feel sure hat he is strengthening
his eyes, not weakening them, by hard
work. Men of intellectual pursuits
sometimes are afraid of losing their
mental powers in old age because they
have drawn so much upon them whep
young. The reverse is nearer the truth,
and if they have not overtaxed their
brains the fear is absolutely groundless.
The man whose intellect goes first in
old age is generally some farmer OF Ia
borer who has never strengthened ane
invigorated it by use; not the politician,
the lawyer or the pan of letters. So

The Italian woman has not yet taken
her true working place i'm society. She
is generally handsome, rarely bad in
the strictest sense of the word, though
by no means a very strict moralist.
AT home she rules; outside she exerts
no influence whatever. The political
woman Ii as yet unknown. A few lit
erary women exist, but among them
r only N Oh two who rise above the
average. The Italian woman Is nearly
always d good mother; ever when q
bad wife she follows impulses rather
than reason In her actions, and this
to a greater degree than her sisters
In any other European country.
During the national uprising she was
hopeful, but she remained humble and
never became ambitious. Mime. Rat
azzi, who tried to NEEDLE I'm politics,
had to desist. Outside the domestic
circle the Italian woman does not
work, except In the lower classes, and
then she uses rather her physical than
her intellectual strength. The bust
ness woman, like In France, liz not met
with except I'm Piedmont and Milan.
The state has not been able to fnd
woman other official employment than
that Of schOolmistress.

TIDE

They Are Found An the Natural Gas
Ae&fom as Well aa I'm the West.
There III q peculiar district or rather
q district owe a peculiar subterranean
formation OF the Platte River Valley,
In Nebraska. involving more particu-
larry the counties OF CoIfax, Butler ana
Polk. This Ii the region OF the sIngu-
lar roaring wells whose waters also
rise and fan a clearly defined tidal ac-
ton. or the three counties mentioned.
Polk leads, having sixteen or eighteen
of these curiosities. There are hours
when the water win gradually rise,
and during this time the wells exhaIe
such q quantity Of air as to make a
strong current which can be
heard to a considerable dis
lance. After q short interval Of
q~uiescence the ebh sets i'm. the water
slowly falls and the inhalation that
follows ID as IL the air MT the mouth
Ct the well were In q mad rush to fol-
low the receding tide.
From these facts AIN impression pre-
walls In many minds that Nebraska,
Kansas and q portion of the Indian Ter
ritory rest on an immense subterra-
mean sea. In support Of this position
1t is alleged that square miles of land
have disappeared In Kansas. leaving
lakelets OF unfathomalle depth instead.
While 1t Is true that the other regions
mentioned also occasionally exhibit
wells having this roaring feature, there
Is nothing In this to sustain the view
OF an underground lake or sea, GER
tainly not as we understand these
terms when they are applied to bodies
OF water on the surface. Nor Lii IL by
any uncommon for portions or
surface TO sink from sight, q case or this
kind having recently occurred during
the earthquake in Venezuela, in South
America, and the sunk country In the
vicinity of New Madrid, ON the Mississ-
ippi river, having disappeared In the
prolonged seismic disturbance of 1611-
IL.
While it may not be generally known,
1t is nevertheless a fact that some OF
Pennsylvania gas wells have exhibit
ted the peculiar tidal tendency, and,
while In many instances the drill has
penetrated below the ocean level, IL
does not necessarily follow that any
OF these wells, either OF water or gas,
r In communication with the sea.
What would seem far more probable
is that these wells may communicate
with areas that have more or less con
nection with the mobile interior, and
where we may logically infer that
there is also a tidal manifestation. All
the Nebraska roaring wells extend
down TO q porous stratum, presumably
surface In some former age, and it 10
probable that the water lying among
the loose material OF the former bed
Is I'm some way affected by pressure
exerted against 1t by the earth's in
ternal tides. When the recession takes
place, 1t is only natural that there
should be Q suction inward and an ex-
pulsion when the dow sets in. The oc-
casional subsistence of surfaces below
water level can be readily accounted
for, apart from any theory OF under
ground oceans which In entirely unten-
able. But these remarkable wells are
worthy Of more careful observation
than they have yet received.

HOW n MNnk Steals Fish and NmYae
From sportsmen DOVE Eaat.
Probably the most cunning Of MI ami
mails Is the mink. It's propensity for
stealing Is marvellous, and the methods
OF stealing and hiding the proceeds OF
it's robberies are unique In the history
OF the lower species. We do not re-
fer here to the depredations of the
mink among poultry, for they resort
to memories only when the waters are
frozen or a supply OF fish III unobtain-
able, says the Lewiston Journal. Two
gentlemen were fishing oni one OF the
rivers of Maine. The fish were quite
plenty, and as Don as one was caught
1t was thrown behind on the grass.
After some time one of the gentlemen
thought he would take q rest and at the
same time examine his capture. But
he could not find a single fish. He
charged his friend with having played
him a trick, but the friend was as sur
prised as he. They now determined
to watch their next fish and their as
tOAAASAALtSAt WdS when I0ey
saw a mink rum from o hole near by,
snatch up q fish and carry It or to the
hole, where they afterward found their
entire capture cunningly hidden under
some dead leaves.
In the same manner the mink steals
game which sportsmen shoot. On n
occasion a gentleman shot q wild duck,
but before the dogs could get to 1t
a mink had stolen 1t, carried it off to
q hole In the frozen snow, which one
mink had prepared while the other was
watching for the opportunity TO steal
the sportsman's game. Notwithstand-
ing this particular characteristic the
mink Is n brave as well as q ferocious
little fellow and he Is excelled In these
qualities only by the ermine. He seems
to have a peculiar aversion for the
muskrat, and although the muskrat
Is generally more than double his size
the mink attacks him fearlessly and
always wins the battle, after which
he drags his dead enemy to some hid
ing place, as in the cases OF the fish
and wild duck. They are found In
almost every state of the Union, bat
most frequently In Maine and In the
states bordering the great lakes. Mink
skins are sold In great numbers by
Maine trappers, and are sold for furs
under various names.
