She Is Persistent,

Sorosis declared with much emphasis
the other night that the modern woman
Is not persistent enough. This view Of
the case it is safe to say, has not yet
impressed itself upon the modern man.
Not SO many years ago the modern
woman became convinced that she
wanted a collegiate education on SUBJ
Stantially the same terms with her
brothers. Conservatives shook their
heads and sedate professors declared
that the thing was preposterous But
the lady in the case persisted and to-
lay she has not merely invaded, but
has conquered, large portion Of the
realm of the higher education. Then
she declared that she proposed to enter
the pursuits which had been the exclu-
sive possession Of masculinity for un-
numbered ages. Again obdurate man
kind said no. but woman doctors, law
yers, journalists and merchants are
now so common that they do not even
excite comment.
Whatever the modern woman has
really set her heart upon she has gen.
orally succeeded in obtaining. In most
Of the Western states she has the fran
chise in one form or another; in Colo
RADIO she has exactly the same political
privileges as men. and has selected
three representatives of her own sex to
the legislature. Il she doesn't vote in
the East as yet, it is simply because
she hasn't quite made up her mind
whether OH the whole the ballot would
be becoming TO her. When the bicycle,
most unruly and diabolic of vehicles,
made it's appearance. the world re-
marked: ALo! here is something that
must forever belong to man Alone"
The modern woman heard this man
late, smiled Il knowing little smile, and
forthwith set about mastering this
novel epitome Of mechanical deprnvity.
At present she not only rides the wheel
with ealmness and determination, but
she rides it in Turkish trousers and
hints 0minously Of knickerbockers in
the near future.
Decidedly. il fin dc steele feminity
has faults. lack Of persistence is not
among them. Sorosis does not need Il,
worry over the up-to-date woman. She
has triumphed over everything she has
undertaken to subdue-Greek roots.
business difficulties, political methods
and the bicycle. And the end is not
yet.-New York Sun.

A wond.,ful Speaking Watch.

The latest thing in watches is 4 r"
peater which accurately pronouncsss
the hours and quarters and so obyiates
the trouble of counting necessilatc,i
by the present system. NJ. Silv;ln, :,
Swiss matchmaker, is credited willis
having succs ssfully adopted Eaison's
i:hG,l graph so as to produce this in-
z, llin,ls result. When the repeating
apparatus is set in motion the sounder
is placed n commun cation with the
photographic rings constructed in the
watch representing the time, and the
hours and the quarters are distinctly
spoken. NJ. Silvan intends to apply
the apparatus to larger timepirces as
well. 1t is, Of course, possible to cnl-
ploy any desired voice or voices in the
| apparatus. We may, therefore expect
shortly to have our matutinal slumbers
more agreeably broken by the voice OF
some respected friend calling the
reveille from the mantlapiece.

feeding Molasrex to stock.

Some years since Prof. Macrcker
after a series of extended experiments
concluded that the maximum Of mo-
lasses to be fed per 1000 pounds live
weight and per diem was three to
four pounds for oxen and two and Il
half pounds for mich cows. These
limits have frequently not been adj
ll@ed to, and many complications
have followed. Or late it is urged
that a special molasses fodder BE
used; it consists, besides the resi-
dunn of some absorbing medium.

that far better proportion is to have

substances. THAT is to say, 80 per cent,
in weight of the fodder OF whatever
elements it may consist.
Already on several European mar
kets a product is sold for stock feed;

Only One Country

said that during the campaign of the
peninsula he never had any oppor.
tunity of sleeping except as his corps
was passing him. One night, as he
had dismounted, leaving his horse
in the charge of his orderly, and 60
ing down into the angles of one of
those Virginia fences, he overheard
two soldiers talking, which interest
ed him considerably, and, instead of
sleeping, he listened to them. One
soldier said to the other: Il suppose
it's all right that VIC should march

1t is right that We should do that for

Cooper and His Broken TwiR.

Cooper gift in the way of inven-
ton was not rich endowment, but
such as it was he liked to work it,
he was pleased with the effects, and
indeed he did some quite sweet
things with it. In his little box of
stage properties he kept six or eight
cunning devices, tricks, articles for
his savages and woodsmen to de-
ceive and circumvent each other
with, and he was never so happy as
when he was working these innocent
things and seeing them go. A favor
lite one was to make a moccasined
person tread in the tracks of the
moccasined enemy, and thus hide
his own trail. Cooper wore out bar
rels and barrels of moccasins in
working that trick.
Another stage property that he
pulled out of his box pretty fire.
quently was his broken twig. He
priced his broken twig above all the
rest of his effects and worked it the
hardest. 1t is restful chapter in
any book of his when somebody
doesn t step on dry twig and alarm
all the reds and whites for 200 yards
around. Every time Cooper per-
son is in peril, and absolute silence
Is worth 81 minute, he is sure to
step on dry twig. There may be a
hundred handler things to step on,
but that wouldn't satisfy Cooper.
Cooper requires him to turn out and
find a dry twig, and If he can't do
1t go and borrow one. In fact, the
Leather Stocking series ought to
have been called the Broken Twig
series.-"Fenlmore Cooper's Liter
