Reasons Why They Arc So Prone to Write
 Them.
 "Why women write postscripts" is a problem that has been engaging the attention of one of the London woman's s weeklies. The answers betray that the sex understands itself, and does not mind exposing its amiable weaknesses. All are from women who ascribe, among others, these reasons: ''Because they seek to rectify want of thought by an afterthought;" ''Because they are fond of having last word;" Because they write before they think, and think after they have written" Our corre- spondent puts down the feminine P. S. to the same cause which leads women toprolonged leave-tahing in omnibuses, namely" and rather profoundly it ap- pears to the casual observer, ''that they lack organization of thought" !" Another woman comes to the de- fense of her sisters with the suggestion ''that when women have anything special to communicate they know that their P s. is equiva- lent to N. B." and yet another friendly soul turns neat compliment in her reason: Probably because woman her self is the embodiment of the P. S. in the scale of creation, she-the indispen- sable--was added last"

But His Prospective Hostess Got Back et
 Him Just the Same.
 Washington society has been de scribed in SO many different ways that people in general have no definitely correct idea of it; but that there are many bright people there is abundantly proved in a little book called ''The Show in Washington, in which the fol- lowing story is given:
 Mav-oyeni Bey, the young Turkish minister, aspires to be a society leader. A young hostess was issuing verbal in vitations to her friends for an informal five-o'cloclr tea.
 The minister, overhearing her, snil- ingly begged that he might be included in the list, and at the same time called out to his secretary, who entered the room: Monsieur Efendi, mademoiselle has asked me to tea with her at five o'clock tomorrow. Remember the en- gagement for me-"
 The following day the party met early in the afternoon at the white house, and, upon seeing his hostess-to- be, he crossed the room. saying:
 'sIs it not this afternoon at five that am to have the pleasure of taking tea with you?"
 1T do not remember" was the re- sponse of the young lady. "Ash your secretary"

The Red Sea Blown Dry.

The miracle of the Red sea, which enabled the children of Israel to escape from Pharaoh, has happened again, re- ports Maj. Gen. Tulloch to the British government. He has been surveying the route of the exodus, says the Bos- ton Transcript, and saw it with his own eyes. A wind arose so fierce that within a few hours it had driven the entire waters of Lake Men zahleh out of sight beyond the horizon, leaving all the sailing vessels resting on the sandy bed. This answers to the description in the Bible, and the mira clc turns out to be a phenomenon of nature.

FRENCH LOSSES IN WAT.
sIx Million Hen Said to Have Perishcd in
 the Wars of the Last Century.

six Million Hen Said to Have Perishcd i1
 the Wars of the Last Century.
 Dr. Lagencau of the French academy of medicine has been making an esti- mate of the deaths by the wars of France for the past century. He finds, according to the New York Sun, that the civil wars of the end of the eight eenth century and of the republic up to and including the year 1900 cost the lives of more than 2,120, 900 Frenchmen. From the year 1891 to Waterloo, when France was fighting Europe in arms, more than 3.150,000 Frenchuen were engaged and nearly 100000 perished. Under the restoration, Louis Phillipe, and the second republic, when there were campaigns in Spain. Greece, and Algiers, the army included less than 215, 900 men, and the loss in battle was only twenty-two per thousand. Even in the brilliant African campaigns the mean annual loss was less than 150 men
 Next came an era of frequent and bloody wars, the war in the Crimea, the war in Italy, she war in China, the war in Mexico, and finally the war with Prussia. Out of rather less than 310,- 900 French soldiers sent to the Crimea 95,615 perished. Of the 500,000 that took part in the Italian war nearly 19.OOO perished. Nearly 1000 perished in the expedition to China. The med ical statistics of. the French in the war of 1870 have not been published, nor have those of the Mexican undertaking. The effective strength of the French in 187O-71 was 1,4O0,O men. The number lost is not positively known, but it is believed that the wars of the second empire cost l, 1,6OO, ,OOO lives. Dr. Lage- neau estimates that the small wars of the third republic have been fought at comparatively small cost of human life. He estimates the total loss for the cen tury to have been 6,O00,000 of men, mostly young.

THlEvING BLuEJAYs.
A Family of Them Bring Sorrow to the
 Heart of Soaprnaker.


 Heart of SoapInaker.
 Samuels, the Massachusetts ornitholo- gist, in one of his books tells story of bluejay and bit of soap. It was the last piece of soap that collecting par ty in the Adirondack wilds possessed, and when the theft was committed by the bird the action was noted carefully for more than scientific reasons. Bird students know that the jay will take al most anything in sight and eat nine tenths of what he takes, but they thought he drew the line on soap. It has been left to a family of Highland Park Qll.) jays to bear out Samuels' story and to break the soap-eating rec ord, says the Chicago Tribune.
 On the west side of the track in the suburb lives German who thought last week that he would try the ex- pertinent of making soap for sale. He collected the proper ingredients, put them together, stirred them to the con- sistency of paste, and then just at even ing he patted cake and put it on a board in his yard to see if it would harden over night. He slept little late and when he finally went to look at his soap cake, beholdl it had all van- ished save thin edge. That was beau tifully hard, though, and not stopping to conjecture what had become of the rest of the cake he stirred up the re- mainder of his mixture and patted cakes until he had twenty-four, each weighing one-quarter of pound. The sun had passed behind the heavy oaks in the yard, so the German went to the edge of the road, placed his boards so that the ends rested on two barrels, and put thereon his soap cakes that they might harden.
 4 cement sidewalk was in process of construction across the road and a ''boat" full of Portland cement mixed to mush with water and torpedo" sand, was adjacent and parallel to the board and it's load of cakes. The side walk contractor was across the road and the soapmal1er went over to talk with him. His back was turned on his sticky product, taking advantage of which fact, for this bird is sharp-a family of seven blue jays, five full fledged young and the two parents, de- scended on the board and attacked the soap. The contractor saw them and watched in amazement. They de- voured the mixture of lye and grease as donkey devours thistles. Then the sidewalk man gasped out: Hans, they are eating your soap"
 The German turned, saw the last bit of one cake disappear, and then grabbed a big, round, smooth stone, such as the lake casts up, and threw it, as man ''puts" a shot, straight at the robbers. The birds rose, calling: ''Thief, thief" vociferously, for the bluejay is given to calling himself names. The stone land- cd on the edge of the board and turned the entire soap product into the sticky mass of Portland cement. Soap and cement were ruined.
 The jays did not stop to decide which was the madder of the men, but made their way toward the ravine drive, loudly calling Thief" as they went.
