ASTUTE BISMARCK.
Women's Influence In Politics Would

Women's Influence In Politics Would
Help Germany, He Says.
The German Reichstag closed its ses-
sion after having achieved an almost
unexampled record. OF all the meas
ures announced from the throne not a
single one has become law. The chief
disappointment Of the session from the
ministerial point Of view was the re-
lection Of the anti-Socialist bills. On
this point Prince Bismarck expressed
himself in fashion which somewhat
surprised those who are accustomed to
regard him solely as a man of blood and
iron. He said he was not sorry that
the antl-Socialist bill had been reject
ed, "for If 1t had not, those to whom
we look for remedies against the evils
Of the land would have arrived at the
conviction that they had achieved
something, and could now rest on their
laurels. This conviction would have
been erroneous, and | am therefore glad
that the pillow of rest which those gen
tlemen Intended to prepare for them
selves has been taken away" For his
part, he relied. much more upon the
influence Of women than upon the de-
feated bill. Here Is what Prince Bis
marck said to a dcputation of Silesian
ladies on May 13,
Il always regret that so little influ-
ence in politics Is allowed TO the better
half of the human race. l do not ex-
pect ladies to deliver speeches in par
lament, but believe that the results
of our elections would be more ma
tional and more satisfactory If they
were more under female influence than
now. Honest German women, wives
and mothers, do not appear in public
as Socialists, and l therefore believe
that female sympathy with our polit-
ical institutions is much stronger
bulwark against Social Democracy than

A BorroMLEss PIT.
A French Pit Among the Most RemArIr-
Able Mondera Of Nntnrn.

ado wonders OF Nature,
Among the most remarkable of ma
lures wonders the subterr-nean pit at
Jean Nouveau, near Vaucluse, France,
which reaches depth Of $40 feet, while
nowhere more than IL feet wide, has
only recently been explored The
French Society OF Speleology (cave
study erected derrick at the mouth
of the pit, which begins with a funnel
10 feet wide at the top and narrows
down to 3 feet at depth Of about 20
feet, From here down the crevice in
the rock, for such It is, extends YER
tically, getting wider as 1t gets deeper,
until at depth of about AIS feet 1t Is
IL feet wide. At this point the shaft
opens into a roomy cave in which just
beneath the opening of the vertical pit
a thick layer Of clay, containing re-
mains of bones, both human and anil
NAL, were found. The explorers found
no evidence that the place had ever
been visited by man, but tradition has
1t that criminals were thrown into the
"bottomless pit" as 1t was popularity
called In the neighborhood, and the
remains in the cave Just beneath the
shaft tend to corroborate this belief
The descent made into the shaft was
exceedingly difficult; 1t established the
fact that there must be a further cave
below the one now known, but the
crevice through which 1t is accessible
is choked up with debris and bolders
so that 1t will be a very difficult mat
ter to penetrate further into the cave
than has been DONE The deepest
point reached In this crevice Is 593 feet
underground, Great quantities of wa
ter rush through the shaft every time
there is storm still no trace of water
was found in the cave explored, which
proves that some other subterranean
exit must exist.

AN UNUSUAL SIGHT.

mo man Bent In Rovcrent Prayer Be
fore window.
1t was slngularly touching scene.
The busy crowds on Barclay street
stopped laughing, but fingered rever-
entially, says New York Recorder. A
man stood before the window Of one Of
the big Catholic goods stores Within
were several llfe-slze figures Of the
Saviour and in the center sat the Vir-
gin Mary, with the Chrlst-child In her
arms. The man outside stood with his
head barred and slightly bowed. His
hands hung down by his sides. In one
he held his old cloth cap. His honest,
rugged face was full Of homely intelli-
gence His clothes were poor. On his
feet he wore the heavy boots Of the
street laborer. They were gray with
the clay Of the trench But his posture
was noble. His was no ostentatious
worship, though he chose the crowded
street for his alteration. He did not
bend a knee, There was only slight
inclination Of the big, well-formed
head, just tinged with whitening hairs.
No muttered prayer passed his lips. He
asked no favor of God or man. His
was the devout worship of an earnest
man unconscious Of his surroundings.
And so he stood for full Ave minutes,
while the jostllng crowds passed him
wonderlngly by, surglng gently toward
the curb that they might not by rough
contact disturb his solemn meditations.

AS matter of fact, the solution is
impossible. Any two odd numbers
added together make an even number,
and six odd numbers are merely three
sets Of twos. In other words, one odd
number added to second odd number
makes an even, third odd added
makes an odd, fourth added makes
an even, fifth odd added makes an
odd and sixth odd added makes an
evon. Therefore neither Fl nor any
other odd number can be obtained by
adding together six odd numbers.

ARRANGED HIS own FUNERAL.

Had a Dress Rehearsal.
An eccentric citizen residing In the
neighborhood Of Avignon, France, has
drawn up special programme for his
own funeral, and, in order to make as
surance doubly sure, and to see that
every item Is faithfully carried out, lie
has had rehearsal OF the ceremony.
Richaud, who Is described as IAN ex-
cellent Republican" Is no friend Of the
church, and he has accordingly substi-
tuted various songs Of political char
acter for the mass for the dead He had
already had tomb constructed In
valley, far from the busy haunts OF
men, so there was no difficulty In the
selection of ground on which this
rehearsal should be held, and after hir-
ing local band he issued invitations
to the ceremony. The procession start
ed from his house, Richaud leading the
way with the banner Of the Marie, and
so the party advanced to the valley IN
which the tomb which Is to be his last
resting place has been erected. When
all were gathered round the future
grave, venerable Republican moved
forward, and, in voice quivering with
emotion delivered an address, in which
he dwelt on the good qualities of Ri
chaud whom he particularly praised for
having been present during his life
time at his own interment." Various
pieces Of music chosen by the organ
izer Of this peculiar ceremony were
then performed by the band, the pro-
gramme concluding with songs and
dances, as Citizen Richaud is kindly
anxious that the spirits Of the mourn
ers when the genuine funeral comes of
shall be raised ere they quit his grave
and wend their way from the peaceful
valley where his remains will repose
back to the noise and turmoil of life.
1t is amusing to hear that the popula-
ton was much impressed by the
grandeur" Of this rehearsal.

When There Was No New Woman.

1t may not be generally known that in
the early history Of Philadelphia it was Il
criminal oifcnse to walk the streets dressed
in fancy costume. The whipping post was
not only used as n medium for wife beat
ers In the days when there were few laws
and fewer infractions of law and order
but any one caught on the highway dressed
In woman's CARL was given dose of back
strapping." From the following extract
from the prescntmcnts of the grand juries
1t will be seen what our forcfathcrs thought
of masqucrading:
John Smith was disguised in woman's
clothes, 6fSalking the streets openly and
going from house to house against the
laws of God and this province to the
straining of holy profession and against
the laws of nature. Edward James "a like
offender, at an unreasonable time of night
Dorothy, wife of Richard Cantcrill, is in

O'Clock at night" These bcinous and
criminal oifcnscs took place In the year
lIO2. There was no attempt made to have
masquerade balls until about the year
1929, when the movement was promptly
suppressed by an act of the state legi=lu-

Author Of ..rhe supernuous woman.-

1t has recently transpired that Miss
Emma Brooke, an English woman, is
the author of "The Super1uous Wom-
an" She was reared in an old English
village. After leaving Cambridge sho
became we'll known as the editor of the
Anarchist paper, Freedom. AS early as
the winter of 1898, in conversation
with her, and through coming into con-
tact with Professor Karl Pearson, Miss
Brooke gathered some fragmentary ideas
concerning socialism. These she crudely
embodied in her first novel, which was
published i'll June, 1883. But in 1884
only did she really begin her career us u
socialist. Mrs. Wilson had the happy
idea of gathering together q circle of
students for tho purpose of seriously
studying social questions and especially
the theories of socialism, which had al
ready been propounded. BY the autumn
of that year she had founded tho club
which was afterward named the Hamp-
stead Historic club, and Miss Brooke WAS
made secretary of it, = Sketch
