The Domestic Tyrant.

Who can combat domestic tyranny
Whether 1t DO the husband or the wife, re-
volt is hopeless, and submission is the only
resource of the helpless. A tyrannieal
woman will eoerce even strong man.
Untouched By reasoning, unsoftened by
tenderness, her appetite for power growing
with what 1t feeds on, she resents all in
reference and crashes down all opposition.
If less deadly than the eastern tyrannies
OF old, hers is as cruel in its own way. 1t
is the absolute denial OF free will to each
member of the household. the absolute as
sumption OF supreme wisdom, whether it
be the time at which the 40-year- old daugh-
ter Is TO go to bed or the thickness of the
coat which her husband is to put on fov
his drive. To these women their children
never grow up. The 40-year old daugh-
ter is as much in leading strings as when
she was little lassie of 10, with her rea-
soning faculties still undeveloped.
And of these ancient ladies, tyrants to
their hearts cores and oppressors of al.
within their sphere, the world is full, from
the Ganges to the Thames, from the north
pole to Australasia. London Queen

The Way Clothes Are Worn.

One who watches the belle of the season
and her many duplicates at the resorts Of
fashionable folk must be impressed with
the force of the fact that style is quito as
much in the way clothes are worn as in
the clothes themselves. One woman car

Notwithstanding along somehow, any

the knack of wearing clothes. Therefore
where many fashionable women are CON

THREE NEW FADs.
Innovations Introduced and Adopted By
the Ultra Fashionable.

tuo OAtho = SSnscAAeDACs
There are three new fads pertaining to
personal nomenclature, the most notice
able being the use Of mother in place Of
mamma.
Another fad is the addressing Of children
by the full Christian names, as Joseph
Charles and Elizabeth Jane. Those who
lead in social customs are calling their
children by the first Christian name and
the initial of the middle one, as Joseph
c.. Elizabeth j. This latter innovation is
being readily adopted by ultra fashionable
people.
The third fad is the return to the old
fashioned names or those not now in COM
mon use, according to Good Housekeeping.
The favored names are Mary, Adelaide,
Martha, Sarah, Hannah, Charlotte, Henri
eta, Madeline, Rebekah, Ellen and Isabel
Others, more fanciful, are Gladys, VII
helmina, Virginia, Geraldine, Gwendolyn
and Jagueline. AS for the ultra fashion
ables, they have unearthed all the antiqui-
ties imaginable and are introducing such
names as Hephsibah, Betsey, Phoebe, Pris-
ella, Salome, Mehetabel, Rmmeline, Abb
gail, Patience and Prudence.

CERTAIN BIRDS NOT INJURIOUS.
Popular FaIIacies Regarding some OF the
Feathered Tribe Dissipatad.

Feathered Tribe Digsipated. 49, &
DIR. G. Hart Merriam, chief of the
division of ornithology of the agri-
cultural department, has been for
several years engaged in examining
and analyzing the contents of the
stomachs of birds, showing in sew
eral notable instances that popular
ideas regarding the injurious effects of
certain birds were wholly mistaken
and that they have been the victims of
an unjust persecution. This has been
found to be especially the case with
hawks and owls, for the slaughter of
which many states give bounties.
Pennsylvania in two years gave over
Z s100, 900 in hawk and owl bounties. Ex-
aminations of the stomachs of these
birds prove conclusively that 95 per
) cent. of their food was field mice, grass
hoppers, crickets, ETC., which We're in
fnitely more injurious to farm crops
than they. The crow also is not SO
black as he has been painted by the
farmers. The charges against the
crow were that he ate corn and de-
stroyed the eggs of poultry and wild
birds. Examinations Of their stomachs
showed they eat noxious insects and
other animals, and that, although 25
per cent. of their food is corn, it is
mostly waste corn, picked up in the
4aan and winter. They also eat ants,
beetles,r caterpillars, bugs, flies, etc.,
which do much damage. In the case Of
the king bird, killed by the farmer un-
der the impression that it eats bees, it
was found that he ate only drones and
robber-fies, which themselves feed on
bees, and which destroy more bees in
cne day than the king-bird does in a
year. The king-bird, therefore, is to
be encouraged rather than slaughtered.
The cuclsoos also are found to be very
useful birds in this country, doing much
good In the destruction of insects.
