own property it would strike at the
root of Christianity ruin the home
and open the door to license and de-
hatchery. And yet these legislators
did argue through many weeks of
stormy debate, the bitterest feelings
being shown with regard to the rights
Of women to acquire and possess prop
erty to their sole use and disposal dur
ing the husbands life time" 1t took
some fifteen years Of continuous agita-
tion to get a state legislature to ex-
punge such outrageous laws.
This was forty odd years ago, but
the same spirit of keep-her-in-her-
place has characterized the average
man ever since. What the pioneer wo-
men medical students, art students,
college students, endured here and in
England and France is already a mat
ter Of history, and it all constitutes a
scathlng commentary on the boosted
chivalry of man. But women have
greater cause for resentment Men have
not been, nor are they to-day, eager to
give women larger concession of lib
erty, and the removal of every injustice
and every inequality has had to be
stubbornly fought for by few cour-
ageous and philanthropic women, aid
ed here and there by man less inflat-
ed than his fellows with an overwhelm,
ing pride Of sex. To women and not
to men belongs the credit of such
measure Of liberty as the women of to-
day enjoy.

oner of the woman and deliver her up
to the authorities. They rushed for
ward and shut the door. AS the hasp
happened to be missing, they rolled
great stone against 1t to keep 1t fast.
The united strength of four men was re-
quired to move the rock. Then they
retired short distance to consult
among themselves as to what they
should do next. The storehouse had no
windows and no other aperture than
the door, except little square hole
In the floor, that had been made for the
cat. This was near the doorway, and,
as the storehouse was built on posts,
could be distinctly seen. AS the farm
hands looked they saw an immense,
black, hairy paw, like that Of a bear,
come down through the hole, reach out
and push away the stone, which was
against the door. This apparition was
too much for the hired men, who fled.
When they returned with reinforce
ments the door stood wide open and the
old woman was nowhere to be found.
The narrator said that he had this tale
direct from one of the men who saw 1t,
and vouched for him for a sober, truth
telling man Of good character and per-
fectly destitute of imagination. This
same old woman had a habit Of dis
appearing for hours at a time, and no
one could tell what became of her.
One day hired man about the farm
saw her enter q barn that stood at
some distance from the house. He fol-
lowed her and watched her go upstairs
to barn chamber under the roof,
Cautiously climbing the stairs he
peeped through a crack and saw the old
woman open great chest half full OF
meal, get inside and lower the lid down
upon herself
The hired man looked at the chest
and some minutes later he saw large
bee crawl out from key-hole and
fly away through a broken pane Of
glass. After while the watcher en-
tered into the chamber and lifted the
! lid Of the chest. There lay the old wo-

YORK city.
Oscar Hammerstoln's Olympia, on
Long Acre Square, will stand unique
and unparalleled, alike for the magni-
tude of the scheme, the beauty Of the
structure, the rapidly with which it
has been constructed, the amount OF
money invested, the intelligence, skill
and indomitable energy and pluck Of
the one man who conceived, planned
and carried the undertaking to a sue
cessful issue; the diversity of the
amusement plan and the enormous
amount Of entertainment from which
the patrons Of the house may choose
at the exceedingly moderate charge OF

every part Of the great building, says
the New York World.

SMART TROPICAL ANIMALS.

ConAned In Too
The student OF animal life at the ZOO
logical gardens ia startled frequently
by the remarkable display of sagaclty
that is sometimes made by the inmates
of that interesting place, says the Phil
adelphia Press. What, for instance,
could be more clever, more thoughtful
or more amazing than the action of the
indigo snake when cold weather comes
on. II was illustrated recently. The
first breath of cool air that was waited
across the garden informed the indigo
snake that a cold wave was al hand.
They could not hide their heads under
their wings like the robin Of the nur-
sery book. They could not take vio-
lent exercise and warm up their blood,
for their blood will not warm. So they
settle the problem by swallowing each
other in turn. One indigo snake will
swallow his better half, for example,
until she becomes thoroughly warmed
up, and then she will swallow him until

or action on the part Of these snakes.
1t vindicates their character. The fact
that they swallow one another is usual
ly put down by unthinking people to
ignorance. They say that tae indigo
snake will swallow anything, even its
friends. Perhaps that is the reason the
snake-story fend always stations him
self in front of the indigo snakes cage,
He knows that no matter how big lie
he tells the snake will swallow 1t as
nonchalantly as though 1t were piece
of garden hose or some such luxury.
But more remarkable in sagacity than
the indigo snake are the tropical birds
in the ayiary. They are probably the
most wonderful geniuses ever seen at
the zoo. Coming as they did from In
dia's coral strand and other places
where the thermometers die of the fe-
yer and the iceberg is unknown, they
find themselves unprepared for the rig
or Of the climate here. Such was the
condition Of number Of the new bird
arrivals from India recently. They had
nothing but their light, summer paja-
mas with them, and when the biting

The question Of mixed clubs being
under informal discussion, distln-
guished New York Judge expressed his
disapprobation of any attempt to model
associations composed of men and wO-
men on the lines followed by mems So
cial clubs, says q writer In Vogue. Such
experiments would, he coItended, in
evitably result in complications which
would conduce neither to the comfort
Of the members nor to the dignity OF
the clubs, Fearing, apparently, that
he was laying himself open to the
charge Of being ungallant, the judge
went on to explain that, outside OF
mixed clubs, he, in common with men
generally, was in favor Of granting
woman every opportunity or privilege
for which she asked. In view Of this
attitude OF generous acquiescence, the
learned Judge could not account for the
hostility displayed for many women
authors and lecturers toward men. He
did not know which was the more aston
ishing, the keen desire evinced by the
concilatory, yielding attitude Of men
to grant woman all they asked for, or
the bitterness able women displayed
when they discoursed upon men. When
away back in the '40s the reviled wo-
mans right advocates, Susan B. An
thony, Matilda Joslyn, Gage, Lucretia
Mott, Cert Smith, William Lloyd Gar
rison and others, began the agitation
for the recognition Of woman as the
peer of man the old English common
law as the law Of the land. Under this
the married woman was deprived Of
power over any property Of which she
may have been possessed, over her
earnings or her children. The PROPOSE
ton to abolish such Ubiquitous laws was
not received with eager acquiescence
on the part Of men, Quite the con-
trary. The advocates of justice for
women we're bitterly assailed, and their
opinions branded as subversive Of NOR
atty. Well may worker Of that day
exclaim: 1T Is incredible sane meu
should argue day after day that IL

Tho stamp Drawer.

From Hardware: I once talked with
a man who had served term in prison
for embezzlement; he said that the first
step in his downfall was the stamp
drawer. The clerks in that store, as in
many, If not in most stores, helped
themselves in stamps from this drawer
for their private letters, using the firms
stationery also. What more natural
than that they should take few more
stamps if they were ordering some trifle
by mail? Having made this start and
seeing no trouble therefrom, how easy
it was to take larger amount when a
more expensive article was wanted!
The step from the dollars worth Of
stamps to the dollar itself was not q
very long one, and then to larger
amounts, followed at length by discov-
cry and prison! This was the mans
story, and it set me to thinking.

Temporary Telephones.

From the Boston Transcript. A novel
idea in telephone practice has been put
into execution by New England COM
pany. A letter has been sent to all the
physicians in New Haven stating that
in many cases Of sudden attacks of ill
ness telephone from the house of a
patient to the residence of a physician
would be of the greatest value. To meet
this need the company announced that
upon the request of person in the city
limits, Endorsed by the physician at
tendant, telephone would be placed in
in the house for period of thirty days
for the sum of S., and if the family
wished then to continue the service, the
same rates would be made for each sue
ceeding month. The plan promises to
be a success.
