with The scissors; if she does not sue
| coed readily, she pushes the cork into
the bottle, since the essential thing is
to get AT the huid.
Shaving is the only use to which a
man pu $ a razor; a WOman employs
it for a chiropodist's purposes.
When a man writes, everything
must be in apple pie order; pen, paper
and ink must be just so, and profound
silence must reign while he &C
complishes this important function. A
woman gets any sheet of paper, tears
it perhaps from a book or a portfolio,
sharpeps a pencil with the scissors,
puts the paper on an old atlas, crosses
her feet, balances herself IN her chair
and confines her thoughts to paper,
changing from pencil to pen and Uice
UerSG from TIM to time, o does she
care if the children romp or the cook
comes to speak to her.
A man storms if the blOtting paper
is not conveniently near; a woman
dries the ink by blowing on it, waving
the paper in the air, or holding it near
a lamp or a fire.
A man drops a letter unhesitatingly
in the box; a woman rereads the ad'
dress, assures herself that the envelope
is sealed, the stamp secure, and then
throws it violently into the box.
A man Gan cut a book only with a
paper cutter; a woman deity inserts
a hair pin and the book is cut.
For a man ''goodby" signifies the
end of a conversation and the moment
of his departure; for a woman it is the
beginning of a new chapter, for it is
just when they are taking leave of
each other that women think of the
most important topics of conversation.
A woman ransacks her brain trying
to mend a broken object; a man puts
it aside and forgets that fog which
there is no remedy.

HAND PAINTING By OLD MAS
TERS.

Lawrence, with all his defects, pain.
ted hands beautifully, as witness those
of his full length por rAit of Kamble as
Hamlet. Nor need one go to England
to g an example OF this. In the dash
ing portrait Of Mes Charles James
Fox" at Blakeslee's, the hands are ad,
mlrably rendered. And it must be
said, too, that the hands of the Law
rence's sitters are not always pain
ted alike, regardless Of the teachings
of physiology, as was the case with
most Of this school. Both Reynolds
and Lawrence knew although in
their practice they often ignored
the fact-that much of the indi-
vlduallty OF a sitter must BE- lost when
that person is provided with hands be-
longing to some one else. Reynolds
liked to be compared with Titan, but
Titan employed no ''Drapery Toms.
The hands of his si5ters r sometimes
as full OF character as their faces. In
his portrait, for instance. of Paul ".
he has told more in the talon like
fingers than he probably dared to put
in the features of that cunning, grasp
ing old Pointiff, expressive as those
features undoubtedly are. Harlow
assisted Lawrence with his drapt ries
and other accessories, but it is unlikely
that he was often entrusted with the
painting of hands, Judging from his
lack of success in that respect with
his own s~itters, after he had quarr3IIed
with the president of the Royal Acrad-
envy, and had set up for himself

FRUIT AS MEDICINE.

Why for ages have peopl3 eaten ap-
pc with their roast goose and
sucking pig? Simply because the ACIDS
and pectOnes in b fruit assists in di
costing the fats 80 abundant in this
kind Of food. For the same reason at
the end of a heavy dinner we eat our
cooked fruits, and when we want their
digestive action ven more developed
we take them after dinner in their
natural uncOOked state as dessert. II
the past ages instinct has taught men
to do this; today science tells them
why they did it, and this same science
tells us that fruit should be eaten as
an aid to digestion of other foods much
more than it is nov. Cultivated fruits
such as apples, pears, cherries, straw
berries, grapes, etc, contain On anaIy-
sis very similar proportions of the
same ingredients, which are about
per cent. of malic and oLher acids. and l
per cent, of flesh forming albuminoids,
with over so per cent. OF water.
Digestion depends upon the action
of pepsin in the stomach upon the food,
which is greatly aided by the acids of
the stomach. Fats are ~digested by
these acids and the bile from the liver.
Now, the acids and pectones in fruit
! peculiarly assist the acids Of the
stom lch. Oaly lately even royalty
mas b5en taking lemon j dca in tea in.
8tead Of sugar, and lemon juice has
oeen prescribed largely by pm sicians
TO help weak digestion, simply because
these acids exist very abundencly in the
lemon.-Popular Science Montnly.

MICE AND MUSIC.

A little animal story is given in this
months Mature Notes" which raises
the interesting question whether mice
have a fondness for music. 1t is con-
tributed by a musician, who says:
lone evening l wa somewhat startled
at hearing my piano suddenly giving
forth sweet tones, apparently of it's
own accord. A mouse, so it proved,
had got inside the instrument, and was
making musice on the wires. Whether
this was intentional on mousie's part
Or not l a not say; perhaps he was
trying to make anesG for himself there.
Some years ago, however, while a
piano was being played in the dining
room of my old home several mice
came out upon the hearthrug and be
gan to jump about, apparently with
delight at the sound of the music, and
one was so absorbed or overcome by it
that he allowed himself to be carried
away in a tongs by a housemaid." At
ter this, ladies ought to lose their an
tlpathy to mice; indeed, we may soon
expect some Humanitarian dame to
commence musical parties for their
delectation. 1t would be amusing to
see them dance, and would form a
really humane method Of catching

Electric Canal TOWaSc.

Canal barges have recently been very
successfully tOwed by electric power
on the summit level of the Canal de
BOUrgOgne This portion of the canal
is three miles and three-quarterS long,
and has been made very narrow 10 re-
duce construction expenses. There is
no towpath, and hauling is effected on
hauling upon the chain is now done
by electric power instead Of by steam.
rs heretofore. y generating house
has been fixed ut each end of the sec
tion. the current being generated by
water power.
The dynamos at the two stations
three miles and quarters apart,
nre coupled in series. The three mains
are suspended on rubber insulatOrs in
part from wires spanning the canal ana
in part from the tunnel roof Of the ,un-
mel sections Of the canal. Trolley arms
of the usual type are used. The mo-
tor used on the tug which hauls upon
the submerged chain is of nineteen
horse power. running ut nine hundred
revolutions per minute. During the
passage through the tunnel the current
IS utilized TO light the boat. and nj night
is used for this purpose during the en-
tire run. The cost of the plant was
about twenty-seven thousand dollars
and n saving of eight hundred dollars.
