4 FLY'S GRATITUDE
Washfnston's Little Hatchet Was Not
In Ii With This EnYlfshman.

In Ii With This EnYlfshman.
From London Answers.
Once while d man was eating his break
fast on summer morning he saw a fly
stuck fast in the butter. His first idea was
to let it die by the point Of his knife, but,
being in the main a kind-hearted man. bet
ter thoughts came to him, and he decided to
save it's life. So this kind, good man ten
derby removed the fly. gently scraped the
butter off its little legs, carefully wiped its
wings with his table napkin and, softly
stroking its little back, SET it at liberty
That night the fly woke him. There was
burglar! He was Just putting the last of
the family silver into his basket prepare
tory to carrying it away; but when lie saw
the owner he dropped his plunder and fed
through the open window. The fly. which
had followed the man down stairs, buzzed
triumphantly over the basket and then set
tied confidingly upon his hand.
And, looking at it closely. the man, by 4
certain shiny look that fingered yet about
its body. knew that it was the same fly
that he had rescued from the butter. He
had spared it's life, and in gratitude it had
saved his silver
Thus see that kind actions rarely go
unreWarded

The German woman In Revolt
From the Lady's Pictorial.

From the LadyS Pictorial.
The German woman is beginning at last
to assert herself. The Berlin correspond
ent of a morning paper states that great
protest is being made against certain
clauses of the proposed new civil code.
The position of women in Germany has
long been unsatisfactory, and there were
hopes-fallacious, as it has turned out
their grievances. The German married wo-
man, according to the Berlin correspondent,
has, unless a special contract has been
made, no right to dispose of her own for
tune without the permission of her hus-
land, who is, besides, solely entitled to ad-
ministrate and to have the usufruct of her
money. even Of that which she earns.
Should a woman enter upon any financial
transaction without the knowledge and
consent of her husband, it can be Cancelled
women are also excluded from family coun-
ellis. No wonder that they are disconnected.
