One Way of Reading. &.

4 very bright woman said one day: " L
buy all the ma gazines in which I find an
article that interests me. / mark the
article and make note on its margin as
TO the reason of it's interest. As seldom
have time TO read more than one, I lay
them aside until a stormy day comes or
am going on Il journey. Then I take
them all and tear out the article marked
from ca ch ma gazine until have one good
thick book. These all go into my cover,
and find myself happy in my possession.
What becomes of the torn book? Obi
send those away to some Western friends
who live on ranches, and they, too, are
happy. Do you not think my way of read
ing magazines an ideal one?'

Household Bric-a-Rrnc.

The age has passed for small tables so
laden down with bric-a brac as 10 give the
drawing-foom much the appearance of
china snop and to cause the averag ge male
caller to feel very much in the position of
the historical bull. Bits OF briC-a -brac
may still exist, but Decorator and Furnisher
says that these bits must be of some in
trinsic value, and need not BE grouped to-
gether as though offered for sale The
souvenir silver table Will still hold sway
as this collection is really interesting in
many cases, especially so when they rep
resent the hostess own "trip acroSS,'' and
the rich plush or velvet oil which these or
naments are placed makes them a thing of
OF beauty, as q rule.

Matrimony Ia Desirable.

In the higher education of women it be-
comes more and more observable that
those who pursue the liberal College
course are not inclined To dedicate their
lives to professional work. In the main
they are not ambitious. They coyet an
education as being a necessary possession.
but they do not obtain it with view of %.
plying it in the struggle for livelihood.
They regard happy. desirable matrimonial

In society as bellies. and perhaps this is as
sensible conclusion as the ma Jority Y of them

wnman,s Sense of smell.

Most people have different perceptions of
colors i'm the two eyes, and have greater
power OF perceiving some color, being cor
responlingly blind to others. The only alb
soluteIy non-color blind person whom Mr..
Lovibond has met is woman. He attri-
butes the greater sensitiveness of women
TO color partly TO an innate faculty aud
partly TO education. The superiori
of women in this respect is interesting,
as recent researches by French savants
have proved that. as regards the sense of
smell, women are much less sensitive than
ruen.

CONTEMPTIBLE ACT.
Tacks Placed on a Wheel Path by q
ScOundrel.

While riding in the center of G street,
near Twelfth, lady yesterday ran her
bicycle upon strip Of heavy leather
containing a row of tacks, which con-
trivance had been placed there pur-
posely to puncture bicycle tires.
The leather and its array Of tacks
may be seen at Atwood's cigar store on
the corner Of Fifth and K streets.
There is a law which provides severe
punishment for any person who places
any such thing in a public street, and
the prospect is very good for the per-
petrator Of this outrage to be brought
into court. 1t is said that a bicycle de-
tective has been working on the case,
and that he is on the track Of the guilty
person.
The wheelmen of this city will not
permit such despicable work to go un-
punished though 1t costs a pile Of dol
lars to find the culprit

BEYOND ITS SCOPE.
Things Asked of the Society for Pre-.
vention of Cruelty to Children.


The Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Children is annoyed by let
ters to which it cannot give any atten-
tion, and the directors of the society
have requested that the press will say
to the people:
First-That the association is not a
charity organization, and cannot relieve
distress, however great, for it has no
fund for the purpose and not enough of
a treasury to meet its necessary ex-
penses.
Second-It is organized under spe-
cial Act of the Legislature for specific
purpoSes-the enforcement Of the laws
in defense Of the rights of children, and
to conserve their humane treatment,
and cannot lawfully go beyond that
Third-That anonymous letters can
not receive any sort of attention.
Anonymous letters were received yes
terday-and are duplicates of many
others-calling attention to cases sup
posed to fall within the purposes of the
society, but giving the authority of no
complainant by name and address;
hence they are not followed UP, be-
cause it has been found that where peo-
pie will not back their complaints, it is,
as a rule, waste of time and energy to
follow them up.
In some rare cases an anonymous let
ter has led up to the righting of wrongs.
but the society abhors the anonymity,
and wishes it said that it will pay no at
tention to it, as it has plenty to do, and
more than it can handle, to attend to
cases where witnesses have the cour-
age to stand by the society. 1t has
complaint book calling for certain
fact entries, and cannot take up cases
that parties will not permit to be en-
tered in that record.
