Mrs. Carlisle on Finance.

Apropos Of woman's editions, here is
q pretty little story Of Mrs. John G..
Carlisle which is now going the rounds
Of the Washington press: It seems she
was asked to contribute to one Of the re-
cent numbers Of woman g editions issued
for the benefit Of charity. When the re-
quest was rendered the secretary's wife,
it was asked that she should write upon
finance. Mrs. Carlisle replied, with
charming franness and the soul Of wit,
''The only thing I know upon the sub
ject of finance with sufficient clearness
to write authoritatively is that % will

Feeds His Horse by Clockwork.

George W. Belt Of Auburn has invent
ed an ingenious device for feeding his
horse. and he does it with one Of the or
dinary little alarm clocks The horse
gets it's feed Of grain when the alarm
goes off. For instance, if Mr.. Belt wants
tho horse to have its morning feed OF
grain at o'clock, and he himself does
not care to turn out until 6 O'Clock, he
sets his alarm for 5.oclock, and when
the morning comes the horse gets its
breakfast an hour before its owners
eyes are open. It is so arranged that the
alarm pulls the slide, letting the grain
run through sluice to the manger. ~

MAKING TOYS.

The Art Descending From One Generation
to Another In St. Ulrich.
Miss Amelia B. Edwards, in her "Un-
trodden Peaks" mentions many an i'll
teresting visit to the homes Of the work
ing people of St. Ulrich, where SO many
toys are made. .- "> =
In one house, runs the account, we
found all old, old woman at work, Mag
dalena Paldauf by name. She carved
cats, dogs, wolves, sheep, goats and ele-
plants. She has made those six animals
her whole life long, and she has no idea
of how to cut anything else. She makes
nearly as possible thousand Of them a
year. -.''.'... .-ts-
She has no model or drawing of any
kind to work by, but goes on steadily,
unerringly, using gouges Of different
sizes and shaping out her cats, dogs,
wolves, sheep, goats aud elephants with
an ease and an amount of truth to ma
ture that would be clever if it were not
utterly mechanical. Magdalena Paldauf
learned from her mother how to carve
those six animals, and her mother had
learned, in like manner, from her grand
mother. Magdalena has now taught the
art to her own granddaughter, and so it
will go on being transmitted for gener-
ations.
In another house Miss Edwards found
the whole family carving skulls and
crossbones for fixing at the bases of
crucifxes, for the wood carving of Grod-
ner Thai is religious in its nature as
we'll as amusing. In other houses there
were families that carved rocking horses
or dolls or other toys, and in still other
houses there were families of painters
In one house we found about a doz-
en- girls painting gray horses with black
points. In another house they painted
only red horses with white points. It is
a separate branch of the trade to paint
saddles and headgear. A good hand will
paint - dozen horses a day, each horse
being about foot in length, and fora
these she is paid 55 soldi, or about 2s. Sd.

s!E!LF DEFENSE. Il:
EAs Law Relating Thereto laid Down By
the supreme Court. *l

the Supreme Court. \,
IA United States district Judge In
Arkansas instructed o jury that every
where except within his own house the
law requires man to run away and do
his best to escape from an assailant be-
fore killing him. The judge further
said that when assaulted ON his own
premises, but outside of his house, a
man must show his sense of danger by
efforts to escape before his plea that he
killed his assailant to save himself from
great bodily harm can be accepted.
This instruction was handed down
from ancient times when weapons Of
assault consisted Of knives, bludgeons,
swords, ETC., which an active man had
some chance of escaping. But it D not
applicable to these days Of revolvers
and winchesters, whose bullets no man
can dodge or outrun, and the United
States supreme court has sent it to the
black letter lumber garret. q
The man sentenced to eight years
Imprisonment by the Arkansas judge
obtained from the supreme court an Or
der for new trial under new instruc-
tion. This new instruction declares that
wherever a man may be, if he has a
right to be there and if he has not him
self provoked the assault, the law justi-
fes him in standing his ground and
killing his assailant provided the prov
able circumstances are such as to salts
fy jury that he had reasonable grounds
for believing and acted on the belief
that the killing was necessary to protect
himself from great bodily harm.
Putting any further limitation on the
right to kill in self defense would abol-
ish it altogether. Arkansas is only one
Of the many states in which man may
have to decide very hastily whether he
shall be tried for killing fellow citi-
zen or let the fellow citizen be tried for
killing him. In these cases, with his
attention excitedly fixed on his assail-
ant, he has no time to get legal advice
or to study thu necessities of the situa-
ton through the eyes of bystanders.
Court and jury will do that afterward,
and he is under restraint enough when
he knows that in saving himself from
the peril Of the moment he incurs the
further peril of having to satisfy a jury
that his act as justified by the circum-
stances.-New York World.

FASHION IN OLD JERUSALEM.

Tho Jewesses Of Ancient Times Were Cor
geously Arrayed Indeed.
AS far back as seven centuries before
the Christian era there were very gayly
dressed women in Jerusalem. The
Prophet Ezekiel tells of them. They had
garments of silk adorned with broidered
work. Their bodies were swathed in fine
linen. They had shoes of badger skin.
They wore ornaments Of gold and sill
YER, rings in the ears, bracelets on the
wrists, O chain around the neck, jewel
over the brow and q crown upon the
head.
The prophet speaks Of the earrings
which were worn by the women of Je-
rusalem, but these ornaments were worn
by Jewesses ages before the time Of
Ezekiel, even in the days of Moses and
earlier yet. There were earrings among
the other gifts in the oblation given to
Moses, as described in the book Of Num-
bers The first Biblical reference to
them is in the part Of Genesis which
tells how Rebekah obtained as gift
S"golden earring Of half q shekel weight"
from Abraham's servant, who ''put it
upon her face" At later period the
patriarch Jacob procured all the ear
rings which belonged to his household
and hid them under an oak tree. Sub
sequently to that time earrings are fire.
quently spoken of in the Bible. Even
Job, the patient man Of w., must have
owned LOT, of them in tho latter part of
his life, for when all his brethren and
all his sisters and all his acquaintance
came to comfort him under his afflic-
tions "every one Of them gave him an
earring Of gold"
In the very early periods Of Jewish
history women seem to have been rs
fond of dress and decorations as they
are in modern times. When the daugh-
ters Of Jerusalem were appareled and
bejeweled in the way described by
Ezekiel, their garments and ornaments
must have been nearly as expensive as
those of the grand danes who now shine
in society. The wearing Of "divers col
orr" F." however, does not seem to have
been a mark of honor.-New York Sun.
