and Miss Reed meekly declare their in-
tention of being two OF the spectators,
he gets weak in the knees. The car
the "autocrat,' the "usurper," the 'ty-
rant backs down ingloriousiN, and
begs his wife and daughter To spare
him and stay ut home. He does not
care n copper for the public, hu, he
fears these gentle foes OF his own house
hold, and it is Il great relief when he
can persuade or Gribe them TO stay al
home. This he often does-so far rs he
knows.
The day he made his speech closing
he debate on the tariff. Mrs. Reed and
her daughter naturally desired 10 hear
it. SO they said quietly but firmly in rne
morning that they would 90 up to the
house. AT first Mr.. Reed was diplo-
matte. He offered no objection, but in
| persuasive tones pictured the discom-
forts they would be subjected to from
crowded galleries and bad air. The
private gallery, he urged, would be as
packed rs the rest, and as for the de-
bate, the tariff had already been talked
to death, and had not a shred OF inter.
est left. To all this and much more OF
like tenor they replied that they en-.
joyed n crowd now and then, aud that
they had no fear OF bud air. and if the
tariff had been talked to death there
was nothing they would like SO much as
to witness the funeral. Then Mr., Reed
threw diplomacy to the winds and fell
upon his knees, SO to speak. begging
them t o spare him the ordeal OF their
presence at his speechmaking.

Boston Transcript.
Industrial idleness and involuntary
poverty result clearly from the misap-
preparation of natures bounty to man
kind which we call the earth. For we
must live upon it. We cannot sustain
ourselves in air, we cannot inhabit the
water. In the earth's bosom is stored
all material needs. 1T is the reservoir
from which all conceivable wealth has
to be drawn, and to be drawn by the
process of human labor. Now If this
prolific source Of life is already fully
taxed to support the present population
of the globe. if the direful possibility
suggested by Nautilus has arrived, the
bewilderment of economists is xcusa
BILE. the problem Is indeed worthy of
the name. But is there an economist
living Who intimates that the world has
begun to approximate 10 such a condi-
ton of despair?

REp.HA,RED GIRLS ouTNuMeERED.
A Practical Test OF the Superstition About
White Horses.

My chum and roommate was Il con.
firmed victim of the betting habit He
would wager his money upon the mosi
absurd propositions and in the mos,
reckless manner, and the oldest part of
it was that he really felt hurt if | re.
fused to take up his Graz, wagers. The
result was that he usually paid my
share of our room rent as well as his
own, but this never worried him for D
moment. He was a cheerful and steady
loser and upon all other subjects he was
perfectly sane, says the N. Y. Herald.
He once remarked to me that he
wasn't at all superstitious, but he did
think it odd that one never could see a
~red-henled girl without Immediately
encountering a white horse.

stock in that ancient notion and, any.

horses than there were red-haired girls
that it wouldn't be strange if he could
find q white horse for every red-hairec
girl.
He challenged the proposition in

ceeded the number of girls, and, OF
course, proposed to bet that he was
right. To give him a reasonable chance
