How Kenneth and Phil Both Saw the
Trained Canary Birds.
"Phil," whispered little Kenneth
Brooks, i've got secret to tell you
after school.
"Nice?' asked Phil.
Eyes, I" was tho answer mice for
me. -
"Ohr' said Phil. and his eyebrows
fell. He followed Kenneth around be.
hind the schoolhouse after school to hear
the secret.
"My Uncle George" said Kenneth,
''has given me ticket to 60 and see
the man that makes canary birds fire off
pistols and all that. Ever seen him?"
mo, Said Phil hopelessly.
"Well, its first rate, and my ticket
will take me in twice. said Kenneth,
cutting little caper of delight.
"Same things both times?" asked
Phil.
"No, stree; new tricks every time.
I say, Phil, l." Kenneth continued, struck
with the others mournful look, won't
your Uncle George give you one?"
Il amt got any Uncle Geroge, said
Phil.
That's a fact How about your
mother, Phil?'
Cant afford it, answered Phil,
with his eyes on the ground.
Kenneth took his ticket out Of his
pocket and looked at it. It certainly
promised to admit the bearer into Mo-
Fart hall two afternoons Then he lock-
ed at Phil, and secret wish stole into
his heart that he hadn't said anything
about his ticket; but after few mo-
monts' struggle, phil" he cried, 81
wonder if the man wouldn { change this
and give mo two tickets that would take
you and mo in one timo?"
Pills EYES grew bright, and a happy
smile crept over his broad little face
"Do you think he would" he asked
eagerly.
"Let's try" said Kenneth, and the
two little boys started off for the Office
window ut tho hall.

short, lit amt fair for me to take your
ticket.

stoutly, 'carSc I'll get more fun from

TO Sell or TO Hold.

guments on either ailc Of the question
are briefly stated Iy Prairie Farmer
thus: The corn crop is II short one and
follows II short one; hence prices
ought to DO high Many farmers are
compelled to SELL and this will tond to
put down prices for time. Buyers Of.
ten will not accept corn as Of standard
grade this fall, although it will be moro
than usually dry for the season. Posi-.
bility of bad weather or distance from
the market may make it more difficult
to deliver from the field than next
summer. On the other hand, corn
shrinks much after husking. Thorough
ly air dry corn contains about IL per
cent Of water. When husked in good
condition, corn Of good sized ears often
contains twice this per cent Of water.
A loss of 10 per cent OIL more by shrink
age is generally to be expected. There is
also danger of loss by rats, by Smelling
and waste, aside from possibility of loss
by thieves, fire or storms. II sold di-
rect from the field, the cost of handling
the crop twice is saved The use of the
money for several months is also secur-

Women In bondage.

Miss Florido Cummingham, men,
Der OF the Worlds fair board Of lady
managers from South Carolina, made q
fine address at Asheviile, N. c., Nov.
10. She declared the serfs of Russia and
the negroes of the south were free, but
woman alone remained in bondage. The
women do not aspire so much to sit in
Legislative halls as they do to vote fox
clean men to hold offices. Under exist
ing circumstances, she thought, tha
women who were most admired by Inep
were those who were most dependent,
and it is this class of women that is
opposed to woman's suffrage. She be-
sought the men of North Carolina to
wake up and closed with a recommen.
dation that North Carolina should
send delegate to the convention to be
held in Atlanta in February, 1895.
This closed the meeting, and those who
heard went homo thinking more prob.
ably on tho question of woman's suf-
frage than they had ever done before.

women as Imitstors.

q suggestion of "a stride, but still, as il
was swinging, was perfectly feminine
and easy. 1t was much prettier than
the mincing steps attained by walking

chile women are talking so much about
their rights they have left very few to
men.
They havo taken his loose, heavy
stitched gloves with the big buttons
They have taken his shirt front, his tie,
his scarfpin, his watch chain, his ciga-
rettcs, his coat pockets, and if some of
the bicycle riders continue to divide
their skirts they will have taken his
trousers. l have tried my very best to
be convinced that woman looks well
On bicycle. She does not. The attitude
is an ungraceful, strained one, and if
the rider happens to be q fat woman her
face gets fiercely red, and she does look
an object. No matter how much care
may have been given to the get up, they
all look pretty much alike, and most Of
tho riders have an untidy look-tumbled
hair. negligee cap, and, we'll, the gen.
eral loose get up being far from natty
looking. Riding the iron aud steel horse
may DO popular, but certainly it is not
pretty.
OF course some of the fashionable
women have learned to ride. They are
continually seeking for some new dis
traction. But you can be very certain
that they will ride in private schools
or on their own private grounds and
not through the streets of New York or
in the public parks. They are too wise
to make guys of themselves for the ben.
eft of the general public. Occasionally
they might do it among their own
crowd, but be very sure that they are
not going to. let the hoi polloi SEQ them

Shoulder to Shoulder with Men.

A we'll known minister of Somcrville
recently said that he could not under
stand why women did not take up the
study of architecture "a female archi-
tect," said he, would be sure to put q

and thus save thousand steps in u

would have put closets in every room

lent place. Hero is q limo of work

Two Absurd English Fads.

"There ore two fashions very largely,
almost universally, affected by English
women just now that don't think will

walking cano.
"The fashionable coiffurc is hideous--

most extreme style Of the old chignon-

q woman who aims TO be ultra fashion

ties, ono atop of tho other, and maybe q
little sailor hat perched atop Of the
wad, but not covering her head ut all.
The only Improvement over the old
chignon is that the present one is hair

en- en- the police force, as was decided

zation, l desire to havo my name enter
ed upon your record as the first appli-
can't for appointment as female police
officer. 1 believe with the leaders Of

complished while making arrests by the
use Of moral suasion than by the use Of
clubs, pistols and brute force. The ex-
pertinent Of female police officers is
worth trying"
1t is unnecessary to state that the
commissioners were somewhat startled
by this application. It is true there are
several women connected with the po-
lice department. as matrons at the va
r:ous stations, but tho idea Of q female
policeman patrolling beat and swing

ever, tho matter was referred to Com
missioner Truesdell, and he is calmly
thinking it over. In the meantime Mrs.
Belva A. Lockwood and other promi-
nent woman suffragists in the District
have interested themselves in the case
Of Mrs Thompson and declare they pro-
pose to push her application to an ap-
pointment.
Mrs. Thompson, who is 20 years old,
is native of Charleston. There arc
rot many woman suffragists in that
section of tic country, and Mrs. Thomp-
son has acquired her ideas on this sub
ject since she caro- to Washington about

horsewoman, and, according to her
friends, splendid rifle shot. She ham
dies a pistol quito as expertly as any

probably excel the average member of
the police force. Mrs. Thompson early
acquired taste for athletics or oil sorts,

Resenting Insults.

How can a refined woman best pro-
rious question in these days when wom-
Ell are being forced to accept response
bilities and to stand oftentimes so COM
pletely alone. Insults are not always
merited, and suppose man or wom-
an maliciousiy offers on affront to q
woman and the ono affronted is innate
ly refined, what redress has she? None
whatever. There is no code of honor to
fit the occasion. Unfortunately there
are mon and women who take advan-
tage of this lack OF protection. Some
one will advise, "Treat them with ST.
lent contempt" Well, that is tho only
way open, but it is not q just way. The
contempt doesn't affect tho offenders,
and silence renders their viciousness,
being unknown, dangerous to another.
There is such thing az righteous in
dignation, and too frequently peace is
bought at too dear rate. If the affront
is an indictable offense, there is the
court, but how few women would avail
themselves of the publicity Of This
mode! There is the other alternative
Of appealing to n male relative, which
is very apt to cause trouble, and then
perhaps the insult is offered by wom-
an. Then the male relative does not
avail. There should be some code Of
honor that would place gentlewoman
in such all attitude that, fearing some
retribution, man or woman Of the
affronting kind you'd BIO required to
adhere to at least courteous way OF
being rude. New Orleans Times-Dem

discussion and general trouble to all
concerned with it. The figure explains
the whole thing AS it is well known
that the longer arm of a lever j. the
castor to move, and this question is ono
OF leverage between the two horses, it
follows that the horse that is ahead has
the easier pull, with tho common shape
Of the doubletree-that is, when tho
middle hole is near tho front of the bar
and tho draft holes for tho clovises are
at the back of it. But when tho three
holes are all in line, then there is no
difference at all in the draft, whether
tho horses are pulling evenly or ono or
the other may be ahead. The drawing
is of course exaggerated to show the
principle more plainly, but it is the
same, always in proportion to the diff
ference between tho lines Of the three
holes. When the two horses are draw.
ing the load, they arc pulling against
each other.
The draft pin is the fulcrum on which
the lever Of the doubletree works. Tho
two parts of tie doubletree Oh each side
OF the draft pin are two levers, and as
one is little longer than tho other
when the doubletree is not level the
forward horse is pulling with the Ion
ger, and the hinder horse is pulling
with the shorter lever. To the extent of
the difference, added to the gain of the
other horse, the latter does more of the
work. Thus. as in everything else in
the world, the fellow that is behind
has the hardest work to get along.
