An Alleged Failing That Has Defer
red WOman's Emancipation.

An Alleged Failing That Has Defer
red WOman's Emancipation.
From the Saturday Review.
The bond Of fellowship which exists be-
tween man and man simply by virtue of a
common sex is entirely absent between wo-
man and woman. 1t is, in fact, replaced
by fundamental antagonism. vague en-
nifty which renders the general attitude of
a feminine creature toward her kind essen
TALLY different from that of the male Great
ure in identical relations. In individual
cases this feeling Is counteracted by affec-
ton or by sympathy, but apart from per-
sonal sentiment 1t remains severing every
living woman from the rest of her sex
To great extent this arises from woman's
incapacity for impersonal feeling or alb
stract emotion. In life's fray she fights
either for her own hand or, more often, for
some one man or woman whom she loves
but rarely for the welfare Of her sex at
large.
Were 1t not for this strange lack of hui
manity in her nature. the emancipation Of
woman would not ha ve been so grievousiy
retarded. If the few women who suffered
aforetime under the restrictions which
hedged in their liberty and been able
to count on the sympathy and cooperation
Of all women. the time Of their subjugation
would have been enormously abbreviated
AS 1t was the first seekers after freedom
met with more opposition from their own
sex than they did from the other; nor, in
deed, do they fare better today. Enormous
changes In their social status were effected
by an inconsiderable minority of women
brave enough and logical enough to i'm
press the male powers that be with the JUS
tice of their demands But for their cour-
age they received no sympathy, and for
their success not one word of thanks-noth-
Ing, In fact, but execration from the huge
inert feminine mass in whose service their
strength was spent.

CALLING THE ANGELS IN.
MARGARET j. PRESTON

We mean 70 do it some day, some day,
We mean to siack0H this feyered rush
That is wearing our very souls away,
And grant to our gOaded hcalts bush
That is holy enough to let them hear
The footsteps of angels drawing near.
We mean to do it: o, never doubt,
When the burden Of daytime toll Is Der.
Wen sit and muse while the stars come out
As patriarch sat at the open door
OF his tent, with heaveuward gazing eye,
10 watch for the angels passing by
We've seen them afar at high nOOntide.
When fiercely the worlds hot Hastings
beat;
Yet never have hidden them tnrn aside
And tarry awhile in converse sweet,
Nor prayed them to hallOw the cheer we
spread,
10 drink of our wine and break cur bread =
We promised our hearts that, when the
stress
OF life work reaches the longed-for
close,
When the weight we groan with binders
less,
Well loosen our thoughts to such rcpuse
As banishcs Cares Gistracting din,
And THEY'VE will call the angels in.
The day we dreamed Of comes at length,
When, tired of every mOcking guest,
And broken in spirit and shOrn of strength,
We drop, indeed, at the door Of rest;
And wait and watch, as the days wane on
Bvt the angels we meant to call are gone

To Keep the Nests and Eggs Clean.
New York Witness.

As those eggs which are the cleanest
and brightest looking usually bring the
highest price when marketed, the keep
ing Of the nest clean, so that the eggs
may be so, is no doubt one way by
which You can make your eggs bring a
higher price than those of your neigh
Dor. There is no secret whatever to
be found out in order to accomplish
this. as all that one will have to do is
to be watchfal and see that whatever
you may keep i'll your nest to make it
soft is changed whenever it may be
ee ltul. The eggs can never be c.can
if the nest is dirty but if the nest is
clean you will undoubtedly find the
eggs so, hence it is IN the nest the
work will have to be done in order that
the - hen fruit may have that clear.
bright and clean appearance which
catches the eye Of the consumer. To
keep the nest clean is very easy
matter; all that will be needed is to
change the hay, straw, or leaves, or
whatever may be used, about once a
week. When you are clealng out the
nest in this manner good idea would
be to give it a thick coat Of whitewash.
This will make it look better and will
also drive away from the vicinity Of
the nest the lice. which are so trouble
some to the hens when laying.

lair was unearthed yesterday in
the heart of Cardinals capital, which
was almost in the bowels of the earth,
a lair which rivals that of the North
Carolina moonshiners who dived
through rivers waters to reach the
mouth of their underground distillery.
1t was way down under the cellar Of
the grocery store of Messrs. Platt,
Hook q Shull, and the whole construc-
ton of the underground tunnel, partic'
ularly the manner of concealing the
way of entrance, was the acme OF
ingenuity. About $1,000 worth Of liquor
was bagged, for between 500 and 400
gallons of good liquor were contiscated.
Down Into the Bowels of the Earth.
The search of the place was made by
the liquor consta bles and police. The
owners of the store refused to allow the
officers to go into the store. but opened
up the cellar. The building is a very
long one and the cellar-way the officers
were ushered into ran only half way.
At the rear end was solid earth. The
officers knew what they were doing
however. for they sent for shovels and
spade and began to dig into the wall of
earth. After digging forward about
six feet their instruments struck air

cellar. They went in and searched all
around. On one side next the brick
wall was what appeared to be the solid
foundation of large chimney, run
ming on up through the building. On
this their attention centered. Pretty
soon they began to cut into the brick
and in short time they gazed through
and by the Pickering light of a candle
they could see that the chimney was a
false one, that inside ladder ran up
wards and there was a neat little bar
with all necessaries INSIDE. They cut
the hole larger and got inside.
The suhterrarean Bar Cnearthed.
They saw the bottom of an ingenious
trap door in the floor above which
could not be detected above as it was
covered by shelving. But the liquor
had not Yet been found and the real
ingenuity Of the hiding place was vet

around the inside walls q the chimney
and towards the outer wall they finally
discovered door at the mouth of a
long dark tunnel running back into
the bowels Of the earth" A man
could almost stand erect in the neatly
constructed tunnel. Then the explora-
ton of this tunnel began. The consta-
bles went on and on until they struck
a point where tie trnnel divided and
branched in opposite directions, and
then the liquor was in sight There
was about forty feet of tunneling and
the earth taken out of it had been used
to make the false back to the cellar.
1t took the consta bles several hours to
get all the liquor stored in the tunnel
out. And there was lots of it. In all
the constables estimate they got nearly
four hundred gallons

interest on s25 in year and pay her
board besides. The fellow who thinks
a hen can't make money doesn't know
much about a hen, says a well known
Southern authority in the Texas Farm
and Ranch. He says: Take an Old
speckled hen, for instance. that has
had no raising at all. one that's been
thrown out Of the corncrib, knocked of
the porch with broom and chased out
Of the garden by worthless pup. Just
take that sort Of an old fashioned hen,
and let's see: She lays at least two
dozen eggs and then goes to sitting on
Is Of her eggs. The other dozen pay
her keep while she turns eggs into
chickens and while she is scratching
for them after they are Matched and
before being weaned. That sort Of
hen generally matches 10 out Of the Is
eggs and raises eight Of them, that sell
for 50. But we must knock Oft s for
their raising and put only 81 aside to
the credit Of old Speck, who loafs about
awhile, and then she lays another two
dozen eggs and sits again and raises
another lot of eight chickens, that sell
for 81 more, and so we pay off again
and put another dollar to the credit Of
our old hen.
Well, then it's long toward midsum-
mer, and she lOats awhile. and then
she takes another laying spell, and lays
another 25 eggs, and then sits again,
and brings on full brood that sell as
before, and we credit her with another
dollar. the half Of the produce OF an
other hatch Of eight chickeus, which
makes SO to her credit over and above
al! expenses.
Then she lays little more and sheds
her feathers and knocks about and
scratches for living until toward the
holidays, when she takes another spell
of laying and lays good lot of eggs
by Christmas and quits, but doesn't sit
because it is too cold. But along about
February she sets in again and lays
right sharply for month or more until
she is around to the time where she
started in last year, and in footing up
we find she has paid all expenses and
So besides III - months, a pretty good
showing for % cent hen.
