system Skipped a Cog.

On 4th av. car the other day was a
man with new pair of kid gloves held
loosely in his hands, while he read his
newspaper. By and by one of the gloves
fell to the floor.
A dozen of us saw it fall, but no one
notified the man, and he went on reading
for about five minutes. Then he sudden
ly discovered his loss and looked on the
seat and felt in his pockets.
Not finding the lost glove, he turned
to the window behind him, opened it and
flung the other out in the street.
"Why did you do that?" asked the
man beside him.
ITS my way, sir" was the reply.
whenever | loose one glove on the
street | throw the other away as soon as
possible, hoping that the same man may
find the pair of 'em. One glove is of no
use to any one"
There's the one you lost on the floor,
and you'd better throw it out after the
othern'
He did't do it, however He turned
red and white-he used several bad cuss
words: he declared he could lick any
man in that car
Then he got off, leaving the glove on
the floor, and he didn't look bit like a
philosopher as he hurried down 10th st.

This is not pleasant story, but it is
true one. 1t happened during a cooking
lesson, where, after the various viands had
been duly prepared and cooked, they were
handed round among the spectators to be
tested. The instructor had time and again
advised the women to bring spoons or forks
along with them in order to make the test
ing an easy matter. This the women kept
forgetting to do, however, and rs II consc-
qucnCc, each lesson found them diving into
the daintics with fingers and even visiting
cards, glove butchers or any other stray
implement that they happened to have
with them Finally, one GIey particulars

1t came first to u woman sitting RIGHT on
the front row, who eyed it with much sat
isfaction and then calmly removed lair
pin from her head, dipped it into the dish
and proceeded to feed herself Suffice it

The latest scheme of charitable
minded women in Cincinnati is sand
piles for children. Last week a repre-
sentative of the Woman'S Civic League
of Cleveland. Ohio, called on the mayor
and wanted to know if the city would
buy piles of sand that could be hauled
to various vacant lots in the city and
then covered with awnings, under which
the tots might play. The mayor said he
would see that the scheme was tried.
The woman said that one result from
this scheme would be the diminution of
bow-legged children. Hard walks, they
thought, brought about tins condi ton in
children. 1t was decided to furnish the
Civic league with a list of the lots in the
city on which gravel has been dumped,
an | which will be devoted to play
grounds. At the same time arrange
ments will be made to dump piles of
sand in the southwest corner of Wash
ingtOn Park for the children.

. GUINEvERE.

The king and all his knights have passed away.
Sir Lancelot will never break a trust,
And eaten is Excalibur with rust;
Vivien and Elaine are turned to clay,
White witch of winter and white bride Of May,
Their bones are driven of the wind as dust;
Guinevere alone endures and ever must
While men learn faith and women to betray.
Her rose leaf lips are ever fresh and sweet,
Her ivory body is more white than milk,
Her hair more golden than the sun above;
She leads us swectly with thread of silk;
We love to feel our necks beneath her feet
For only she has found the grail Of love.

Egyptian Geometry.

The Ahmes papyrus doubtless repre-
sents the most advanced attainmcnts OF
the Egyptians in arithmetic and geom-
etry. 1t is remarkable that they should
have reached 50 great proficiency in
mathematics at SO remote a period Of
antiquity. But strange indeed Is the
fact that during the next ,, 900 years
they should have made no progress
whatsoever in it.
All the knowledge of geometry which
they possessed when Greek scholars Wis
tied them, six centuries B. G., was
doubtless known to them ,, 900 years
earlier, when they built those stupcn-
dous and gigantic structures, the pyra-
mids. An explanation for this stagna-
ton of learning has been sought in the
fact that their early discoveries in math-
ematics and medicine had the misfur-
tune of being entered upon their sacred
books, and that III after ages 1t was
considered heretical to augment or mod
ify anything therein. Thus the books
themselves closed the gates to progress.
