course her speech was forcible, witty
and to he point. She said that j
the position taken by the majority
of the speakers was correct, to be
entirely consistent they should urge
the Legislature to make all womer
who are now working, wards of the
State and support them at public ex
pense. Then these working women
would be womanly.
Saddened and Disguised by the
way so serious a question was be-
ing treated, bright thought struck
me, which l hereby pass along.
Would it not be good idea for all
women's organizations to have &C.
casionally "Men's Nights" or
"Gentleman's Nights" and then
and there discuss "The Coming
Man." his virtues, his faults, his
hobbies, pouring forth a food of
good advice to fathers to love their
children and do a long list of duties
decided upon by us women, giving
them occasional bits of compliment
about their looks and other attrac-
tions ? Oh, it would be excellent il
we could get such men as these to
hear it
CATHARINE WAUGH McCULLooH.
The New Era, of Springfield, o.,
prints a splendid portrait of w.
Jennings Demorest, one of the lead
ers of the Prohibition party, and
with the portrait appears a history
of Mr.. Demorest's life and an &C.
count of the funeral. Among other
good things, The New Era says:
1.-THE announcement of MT. Demo-
rests death will cause profound re-
greet among Prohibitionists and re-
formers everywhere. The unswerv.
ing fidelity and magnanimous liber-
atty with which the fallen leader
supported the cause of human liberty
and the advance of righteousness
in governmet have forever enshrined
his name in the hearts and memory
Of grateful thousands. His death
will be learned of with feeling Of
personal loss by all, and above and
beyond that will be recognized the
fact that in the passing from life's
stage of William Jennings Demorest
a nation loses one Of its truest men
and the cause of good government
q supporter whose staunchness and
usefulness have been so great as to
make the filling Of his place an ex.
ceedingly difficult one."

The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1895-03-08

1.-THE Japanese written and printed
character consists of the Chinese ideo-
graphs, those complicated square figures
made up of an apparent tumble of zigzagS
and crosses and ticks and triangles and
tails-'the footprints of drunken fly
and of the original japanese syllabaTy,
called kama OF the former there are 30
600 in all. of which perhaps IA, 900 constI-
tute the scholars vocabulary, and no few
er than 1000 are in common daily use,
while the f1 simple letters of the kama are
known to everybody. Therefore the Jap
anese compositor has to be prepared to
place in his stick any one of over LOO
different types-truly an appalling task.
From the nature of the problem sew
eral consequences naturally follow. First,
he must be a good deal Of a scholar him
self to recognize all these instantly and &C
curately; secondly, his eyesight suffers
fearfully, and he generally wears huge
pair of magnifying goggles, and, third, as
it is physically impossible for any one man
to reach 1000 types a totally different
method Of case arrangement has 70 be de-
vised.
The typo therefore of whom there
are only three or four on 4 paper, sits at a
little table at one end Of a large room, with
the case containing his AZ kama syllables
before him From end to end of the room
tall cases Of type are arranged like the
shelves in crowded library, a passage
three feet wide being left between each
two. The compositOr receives his copy in
large pieces. which he cuts into little takes
and hands each of these to one of half a
dozen boys who assist him. The boy takes
this and proceeds 10 walk about among
the cases till he has collected each of the
ideograpbs, or square Chinese picture
words, emitting all the lana syllables
which connect them. While these boys
are thus running to and fro snatching up
the types and jostling each other they keep
up continual chant, singing the name of
the character they are looking for, as they
cannot recognize it till they hear its
sound, the ordinary lower class japanese
not understanding his daily paper unless
he reads il aloud.

4 GIFTED PARTISAN DOG.
He Knew a Better Trick Than Barking
at the Burglars.

An amazing story of canine sagacity is
told in a recent number Of La Lanterne
of Paris NJ. and Nine. Herisson, living
in the Rue St. Sauveur went to the
theater one evening, leaving their dom
icle guarded only by a very intelligent lit
tie dog who answered to the name Of
Castor. They valued him highly, and Of
ten remarked:
Castor? We would not sell him for
10000 francs-not even 10 the pope him
self"
They had not been long away when
burglars entered the house Castor. who

masters step, pricked up his ears and
listened. A moment more and he de-
eide it must be thieves. To the proverbial
fidelity of his race there was added in
this wonderful dog the wisdom of ser
penis. Realizing that if he barked the in
truders would seize and silence him for
ever, he sat down, covered mis- head with
his paws and thought intently At last
light broke over his mind, and he stole
noiselessly from the house and ran swift
ly to a nearby building which was in
the course of construction. There he
seized a lighted lantern in his mouth
and returned with it to The house.
The ruse met with the success it dc
served. The thieves, seeing the night in
the adjoining room, believed themselves
detected, and fed Casters joy knew no
bounds, and when his owners returned
they found him sull rubbing his paws
with satisfaction.

A SPANISH WITCH.
Some Singular Adventures of the King
of Spain-A Wonderful Suit.
From The washington Star.


Once upon a time, a long time ago, there
was a king of Spain who had many ad-
ventures. and this rs one of them, which
came about in the following manner. In
the kingdom We're many Moors who had
come over into Spain from Africa and con-
quered half of the country and set up a
Moorish sultan over their half and tried
to get the whole of it into their power
All this had happened in the days of the
young kings father SO that when the
young king came to the throne he re-
solved to fight the Moors and drive them
away, and to this end he raised an army
and prepared for war Now in the town
of Salamanca was a wicked old witch
and when she heard the king was about
to so to war she wnked one eye a her
black cat and the black cat winked one
eye at her. and she got her staff and cloak
and said to her cat, whose name was
Beelzebub:
Come on Beelzebub, let's go to Madrid
and see what we shall see"
And the black cat laughed and she
laughed, and they both set out
When she came to the city of Madrid it
was full of the sound of men and horses.
and the hammers of the armorers making
shields and swords, but the witch noticed
palace and said to the page:
q must speak to the king"
"Oh, you must speak to the king. must
YOU said the saucy page. We'll. let me
tell you. old lady, that the king is not over
fond of witches the age of his great grand
mother If YOU were pretty girl, then
perhaps
Il must speak to the king" INTERRUPTED
the witch, turning her fiery red eyes on
h
back and stared hard with his green eyes.
and the saucy page ran away and told the
king who said: She may have some news,
bring her here
'Oh, king" said the old witch. bowling
low, Il am more than a hundred wears
old, and all my life l have been weaving
cloth and studying magic and I have
learned how to make silk which will turn
aside the sharpest sword and blunt the
keenest lance. 1t is of more use than the
heaviest armOr in battle, but so strange
is this magical silk that only brave man
can use it. To towards it looks more
transparent than guaze, Vet when they
wear it, It's heavier than lead while upon
the limbs of a brave man its weight is
no more than cobweb, while it looks
heavy as steel"
An excellent thing to wear in battle
with the Moors,' said the king Have
you brought me a suit Of it,"
Alas, Majesty said the hypocritfcaI
old witch, 81 am poor woman [ bring
you only my knowledge. To weave such
stuff requires a pound of fine gold and ton
pounds of silk for every yard. and where
should I ind all that in Salamanca ."
Here" said the king 10 his senescbal
give this woman loom and all the ma
teriais she requires and let her weave me
