woman,s pepcndence ON Man.

Wonderful that while knowledge
comes wisdom fingers. Wonderful that
what women have suffered so long to
win, once won they should cease TO
prize: that education should not teach
woman that man was by nature very far
removed from the gentle domestic ami
nal she knows today. However tho
modern woman may swaeger about her
individuality, may talk Of her spirit
nal needs" and deplore the stupid tyr
amy of man, who demands sacrifices
from her in return for his tenderness,
protection and support, the fact IS not
changed that however much she may
be mans intellectual equal or spiritual
superior the exigencies Of motherhood
put her at his mercy. She cannot be en-
tirely self dependent except at the cost
of the welfare of the offspring. The fac
tory acts are recognition Of the right
OF the child TO its mothers health and
vitality. Woman simply may not eat
her cake and have it too. Using all her
energies for her own needs she cannot
give vigor to her children. If she en-
ploy for her own ends her store of life,
she robs the child. To adequately sup
ply the new generation with health,
brains and nerve she must husband her
resources and yield herself to the gener-
oSity and tenderness of the man and
trust to his care. That he has not always
been generous and tender, that he is not
always so even now, does not alter the
general fact. Elizabeth Bisland III

In an English Criminal Court.

Battered females who weep, who have
come to it through drink, who courtesy
with moldy gentility when they get
four months; a pianist at a free and
easy in red shawl, who, merely to
obGge friend, sold a stolen watch; q
shy servant girl III broad straw hat,
for breaking and entering her late mas
ter's house and carrying off clocks and
clothes; decent postmistress i'll black,
with a comfortable, cooklike lair, who,
trade being bad at her little shop, had
been abstracting coin from the letters
intrusted to her. Counsel delivers a
flowery debating society harangue on
her behalf, by which he makes it clear
that the real criminals are the public
for putting temptation in the way Of re-
spectacle officials by sending registered
letters. If there were no registered let
tiers, there would be no thieves.
Counsel gives me the impression of
thinking good deal more of the selec-
ton of his phrases and the rounding of
his periods than Of his client, who, when
at last he sits down, gets II months for
his pains. Succeeded by a sturdy rogue,
who, being benighted, broke into
church and drank the sacramental wine
(any port in storm, and, not content
with that, made himself up a bed in
the vestry on the crisp and immaculate
surplces. Impudent fellow Eighteen
months. And yet sacrilege seems
heavy gun to bring to bear upon man

Fish Slaughter.

]. W. Nash of the Minnesota state
fish and game commission says that fish
ermen actually catch the sturgeon for
the roe and throw the fish itself away.
81 was told, said he, that in Lake
Nemegen last year one firm caught tons
Of splendid sturgeon, and after strip
ping them of the eggs threw what thou
sands would have been glad to get on a
heap and burned them.
IF this policy is allowed TO continue
a few years, there will be lakes without
fish. When I was up on the northern
border o few weeks ago to Issue licenses
for the pound nets, l was told that a
certain fish company was practicing this
ruinous fishing in Rainy lake and other
lakes. My information came from two
men, and as they said the fishermen had
no way Of preserving the carcasses as
sumed that the same wicked waste OF
fish is going on this year as last All
that is used is the roe. 1t is shipped t.,
Europe to be made into caviare y
The roe is packed into kegs and salt
ed 1t is shipped in that condition to
Germany TO be made into favorite dish
found mostly on saloon lunch counters
and eaten with bread il the shape Of a
sandwich. The roe sells for about S25
keg, and the caviare is bought in guam
tity at from 40 to GO cents, according to
the condition of the marllet.-Minne-

Still There Is Nothing New.

The modern Solomon can probably ex-
claim with as much truth as did the
builder of the temple" that there is
nothing new under the sun" We are led
to make this remark after finishing q
chapter in Arthur Young Travels IN
France" which contains an extract.
published first on Oct 16, 1887, and
which is given below in full:
NJ. Lemond is most ingenious me
chanic who recently made a most re-
markable discovery in electricity You
write two or three words on paper. He
takes it with him into a room and turns
machine inclosed in cylinder case.
At the top of this machine there is an
electrometer and small pith ball.
There is wire connecting this machine
with one in distant apartment, at
which his wife is seated By noting the
motions of the ball on the machine be-
fore her the lady is able to write down
the words on paper which she has never
seen. From this itappears to mo that he
has formed an alphabet of motions. AS
the form Of the wire makes no difference
in the effect as long as it is charged with
electricity correspondence may be car
ried on at any distance, within or with
out fortified town, for instance, or for
purposes much more worthy"

Our recent plays are manly taken
from French sources, and an attempt Is
often if vainly made TO retain their
dramatic effect and to exclude that
treatment which makes tho essence OF q
French work written for French au-
diences. Plays seem often to be vamped
ND for long run andfor Z short hfe, IN
the higher sense of dramatic life. We
also frequently adapt novels, mostly OF
II melodramatic character, for the stage.
One pregnant instance may suitce-
1.-The Scarlet Letter has been presented
with "happy ending" Oh, shade OF
injured Hawthorne! A very fine nara
tive which depends upon psychological
ANALYSIS cannot we'll be made into u
good drama. Action is so much coarser
than thought that the morbid pathology
of story of passion, guilt and SORROW
with every motive dissected and every
character analysed, becomes mere COM
monplace adultery and q very ordinary
melodrama.
Hawthorne is to be read, not seen.
His power consists IL analytical study
and his fine essence escapes the realism
of the stage. That which is left for act
ing is the mere residuum, the vile body
of his delicate, almost supersubtle con-
coption. He is great author, but not
an essentially dramatic one. His method
escapes the acting drama. Aplaywright
who would deal with 1.-The Scarlet Let
ter" should not attempt to dramatizo
the novel, but should treat 1t as Shake
speare used the chronicles of Baker or
of Holinshed. The work should merely
suggest to the dramatist certain incl
dents and haracters.-Gentleman' 5

THE WEDDING POSTPONED.
An Elopins Couple stopped by the
Police.

Police.
Ernest Otterback a prosperous-looking
Virginian from the neighborhood of Hay
n arket and Miss Edith Robinson who
lives in the same neighborhood, came here
last evening and expected to be united in
matrmony and start off on their honey
neon, but the young lady's fathers suspi-
cions were aroused by her failure to return
home from church, and a telegram sent here
to the police had the effect of causing an
indefinite postponement of the event. Err
nest is nearly thirty years old, while Miss
Edith will not be twenty-one years old until
next March,
The young man has correspondent with
Miss Edith for a number OF months, but did
not call at the house because her father
objected. But he saw her when she at
tended church at Thoroughfare, and ar
raEgements were made for them to leave the
old dominion last evening and come here.
1t was their intention to drive all the way
here, but Ernest, fearing exposure to the
night air would not benefit the one whom
he thought was soon to become his bet
ster half, he concluded to take the risk and
come the train. Sergt. Perry and De-
tCctive Rhodes were at the station when the
train arrived. The couple got off the rear
end OF the train, and, fearing trouble, they
started out the yard to go south instead
of coming through the depot, but they were
overtaken, and the lady was turned over to
one of the police matrons.
Il wanted Miss Edith to wait" said the
young man, for l knew if she was twenty
one years old she could not be troubled, but
she was willing to leave and SO We left.
Miss Robinson's father reached here this
morning to take home the daughter, and
the young man says now that he has had
the trouble he intends to get Miss Edith, and
he apprehends that there will be no shooting
" hen he does it.
