BROTHERLESS GIRLS.
They Are Very Apt to Grow to BE Priggish
. Women.


The single daughter of a house with
out sons is, of all women, the most apt
to grow into a self-sufficing prig, and
a number of daughters without broth
ers will often display, in less degree,
the same proclivity. There is often,
too. furious spirit of rivalry. Broth
erless women have had no chance of
learning, as children, in what they can
rival or surpass men, and in what they
must infallibly, by the operation of
the mere laws of nature, be out
stripped. They have not the oppor-
tunity of learning, without thinking.
wherein men intend to rule, have
ruled from the beginning, and will
rule to the end. 1t is not, as rule,
from the houses where there are sons
and daughters both that mannish
women come, but from the houses
where there are no sons, or where the
sons are exceptionally weak.
The boys in a mixed household beat
thegirls in all boys work so easily, so
continuously and so permanently that
rivalry In their pursuits dies away, and
the girls turn, without effort and with
out much disappointment, to their own
proper field. Above all, they learn
early and without pain the grand art,
first, perhaps, of practical feminine
arts, of putting up with things" in
Guiding n certain amount of what many
women now describe as oppression
the greater expenditure, for instance,
on boys, who are destined to maintain
households; their greater liberty. which
proceeds from unalterable circum.
stances and can not be changed, and
their much later introduction into the
active life and business of the world.
The girls with brothers, we think we
may assert with confidence, are as
wives much less liable to get irritated
with their husbands than the girls
without them.-London Spectator.

UNCLE DICK oaLEsnY.
Two Charnuteristic Stories Of the Genial
Ex-Governor of Illinois.


I think it was during the Cleveland
Blaine campaign that Ex-Governor
Oglesby Of Illinois, "Uncle Dick" as
he is faiuiliarly known, first made q stay
Of any longth in New York.
He and a companion had a sumptuous
luncheon, Tered Of course by tho intro
ducer, who wound up by inviting the
governor to smoke The clcrk at the ci-
gar counter handed ont some Emo Havana
cigars Uncle Dick was iSout to take
one, when some thought arrested his
hand, and he asked;
"Whnt's the price Of thesei"
Twenty five cents, WIS the reply.
"Holy smokep" calculated tho govern
or. Put 'em back Put 'em back,
quicki"
"But, governor, this Is ny treat,
said his friend
"Daren't do itl Daren't do iti Put
'em back r.
Eyes, but govcrnor"-
IT tell you / daren't do it. Why,
mnn, II they should ever find out In IL
linois that / smoked a 20 cent cigar in
New York, they'd turn mo ont of the
church, and It would ruin me politically
forever Daren't do itl Ten cont cigars
are good enough for me in New York
and centers at home.
Uncle Dick always prided himself ON
his success in campaigning when called
upon to reach mans vote through his
family pride.
On one Of his tours he passed through
country town in Illinois, when he
camo suddenly upon charming group
Ia comely woman with bevy Of little
ones about her--in garden with high
picket fence in front Of it. He stopped
short, then advanced and leaned over
the front gate.
Madam. said he in his most in
gratiating way, may kiss these beau
/ tiful children?"
Certainly, sir, " the lady answered
demurely, "thero is no possible objec-
tion "
"They are lovely darlings, said Un-
Gle Dick, after he had finished the elev-
enth. IL have seldom seen moro beauti
full babies. Are they all yours, marmi'
Tho lady blushed deeply.
"Of course they are-the sweet little
treasured From whom else, marm, could
they have inherited these limpid eyes
these rosy cheeks, these profuse curls
these coDnely figures and these musical
voices?"
The teyiy continued blushing.
"By tho way, marm," said Uncl'
Dick, "r9ay bother you to tell youl
estimabse husband that Richard j
Oglesby, Republican candidate for gov
ernor , He'd upon him this evening?"
"h.as, sir, F" quoth the lady, II hav,
no husband.
'But theae children, madam-yoV

Many times it hos happened that

about by Gn incident trivial and oven

Thus the war Of tho Spanish success
sion is said to have been caused through

was carrying glass Of water when shS
was obstructed by tho Marquis do Torcy.
A slight scufiie ensued, aud the watss

Tho marquis thereat took oifense, and

and French courts, with the ultimatr
result that war was declared.
The campaign cost France many 50.

Henry, tho king Of Sardinia, assisted
tho Modenese to retain tho bucket, and
in one n the subscquent battles he was
mado a prisoner. Tho bucket Is still en-

A third instance Of a war resulting
from tIihing cause was that between

Tho archbishop Of Rouen decreed that

Bismal ok Saw Won nIoltlse's Sentiment ana
Went Him One Better. (
A young German lady Of rank, pos
sessed Of great personal charms and sim
gularly winning manners, the daughter
of a prominent politician, herself now a
happy wife and mother, once beguiled
Moltlo, who was paying a brief visit to
her fathers country home in Silesia,
into writing something in her autograph
album. This was the entry:
Lugo vcrrcht;
Wehrhoit hostcht.
V. MoLTKE, Foidmarsohail
Which in English would be;
A iio must fail;
Truth win prevail.
Tho willy Gamsel now determined TO
bide her time until sho should be able
to match Moltlo's dictum. When her
family had again settled down in their
Berlin quarters for tho winter season,
Prince Bismarck called one afternoon,
and she showed him her book, calling
his attention to what tho great strate-
gist had written, adding artlossly; "Do
you think the same, dear prince? Per-
haps you would like to add your COM
ment? And ON the same page? Oh,
thank you SO very much And may I
send tho volume to the Wilhelmstrasse?'
The chancellor next day returned tho
book, now a greatly treasured family
possession, and this is what he had writ
ten beneath the contribution Of his col
league: q
Wohl weiss ich, dass in jenor Welt
Do Wuhrheit stets don sieg behalf
Doch gcgen Luge dicses Lcbcns
Kampft selbst Gin Foldnarschall vergebcns.
V. BIsMARcK, Roichskanzior.
Very roughly Englished, the chancel-
lor's lines might run something like
this:
In future worlds, beyond the pale,
The truth Is strong and shall prevail.
But 'gainst our mundane lies, tits plain,
Field marshals even fight I'm vain.

Compressed Air In Machine Shops.

Machine shop use Of compressed air
has been growing rapidly of late, and q
varied service is now being regularly
performed by compressed air appliances
which not IL great VIII 10 ago were de-
cidedly exceptional. Compressed air
shop hoists, perhaps more than any 9TH
er similar class of apparatus, have come
into favor and are extensively employed
over lathes, planners. drill presses and
other tools, greatly facilitating the han
ding of pieces of work too heavy to be
lifted without some special contrivance.
Some OF these hoists are permanent fix
lures, others are suspended from trolleys
running on overhead rails and can be
readily shifted about from one point to
another, as occasion may require, taking
their supply of air through flexible hose
connections, and being thus available
for miscellaneous hosting service, load
ing and unloading freight and the like
In one large railroad shop in the west
ern part of the United States small hoist
ing cylinders are scattered promiscuous-
ly about and save al immense amount
Of manual labor i'll lifting and handling
materials at the different machines.
They consist of 10 inch wrought iron
pipe, not bored, but simply ratified, and
aftcrward still further smoothed by
pressing q Inandrel through them The
air valves for the cylinders are conven-
ientiy worked by 81 regulating lever and
chain. -Cassier's Magazine.

Can You Keep Your Hand SIN?

In the university Of Wisconsin Pro-
fessor Jastrow has al instrument called
the automatoGraph, which shows very
clearly and precisely the automatic
movements of the hand
1t consists merely of piece Of glass
resting on three movable metal feet. or,
in other words, it is small carriage
which will shift its position at the slight
est movement.
At the end is aneedle fixed vertically,
and in contact with roll of paper COW
cred with layer of lampblack If the
apparatus moves. the movement is traced
on the paper by the needle. Both paper
and needle are hidden by IL screen.
Professor Jastrow tells you to rest
your hand upon tho glass and keep it
perfectly still This appears quite easy,
but when you think that your hand is
quite motionless you find to your sur
prise that the needle is tracing lines on
the paper.
The fact is you cannot keep your hand
still Unconsciously and invisibly it
moves with your thoughts. Look at that
pair of scales, watch how the rod goes
this way and that way as the scales
move. Now look at the black paper
You will fad that your hand has been
moving exactly in agreement with the
movement of the rod
