from the Washington Road Club at its
meeting Wednesday. MIR. Robertson has
been president of the Road Club for some
time and has done mitch to make the club
representative body of wheelmen His
resignation, according to his letter, is
caused by the fact that there was some
objection by the club members to the use
of the club rooms for a meeting of the

of the club rooms for the purpose without
the consent Of the club. and this was ex-

The Limit of women,s worl.

Now come the questions, What should
be the limit of women's work? Where
should they draw the line? This, at any
rate, it is safe to answer, CAT that point
where their work ceases to d D good As
soon as woman feels she is in a posi-
ton in which the best and noblest of
men cease TO look upon her with rever-
ence, then she may be sure she has over
stepped the limits of womanly dignity
and reserve, and that there her influence
will not be pure, elevating and noble
There is plenty of real work for all of
as to do beyond the sphere of home, in
the fields of art, science and literature,
and also, like Florence Nightingale and
many other brave women, as nurses and
comforters of the sick, the wounded and
the dying
Women s influence is sometimes said
to be greater now than in past times. It
is more palpable certainly, but doubt
whether more potent, for, as we know
we'll for centuries, the hand that rocked
the cradle ruled the world. The differ
ence is that nowadays women are not
content to work quietly as mere wire
pullers. Instead they like to see and be
seen, and TO have the credit of their
deeds.
The old idea was that linen must
work and women must weep" but the
newer idea that women should work,
too, according to their talents and op-
portunities, seems more rational and
healthy and is calculated to make them
I usf
by all means. but in all their work let
them remember that woman is not I'M
developed man. but diverse, and
therefore not to try to be like men, and
also not to think that nothing is too
high or too sacred for them to meddle
with. Home Notes.

schiapareIIi.

Schiaparelli, the astronomer who first
discovered the so called canals Of
Mars, did so with much smaller tele-
scope than those in use in many other
observatories at that time. And yet he
is a very nearsighted man. Garrett p.
Serviss of Brooklyn. in speaking of his
first interview with the eminent Italian,
said that Schiaparelli would hold Wis
itor's card within five or six inches Of
his eyes in order to decipher it, The sin
gular part of this story is not that a
man with such an infrmity should be
able to Guido other astronomers, for
keenness of vision depends rather upon
the retina than the convexity Of the
lenses of the eye, and the eyepiece Of a
telescope can be focused so as to suit
the latter. But it does seem little odd
that the gifted scientist i'll question
should habitually refrain fro wearing
eyeglasses. Possibly he ha' a theory as
to the effect of their use upon his visual
powers

THOUGHT THE KAISER STUPID.
A coachman Told Him Ne Would Never
Set a River Afire.


An amusing little story about the pres
emit emperor of Germany, William ii,
and Vienna coaehman was narrated at
a banquet lately given at Vienna by
some diplomatists. the narrator being
himself we'll known and prominent
member of the corps diplomatic
In the year 1882 the present Emperor
William III of Germany, then Prince
William of Prussia, came to Vienna.
visiting his particular friend and chum,
the late Crown Prince Rudolf of Aus
tria. Joined by the Prince of Wales
who was at that time also frequent
visitor to the Vienna court. the three
princes took a fancy to mingle with the
commons of the Vienna population.
Dressed in ordinary clothes, they visited
places which are not in the least regard
ed as suitable for princely guests.
One day they entered hotel, but in
stead of going into the dining room they
walked into the "schwemme, . place
which answers in some degree to the
barroom of an American hotel: in this
room coachmen and the servants of the
hotel guests take their meals.
The three princes took seats at an
empty table, and listened highly
amused. to fierce debate about politics
between several stout members of that
class of fashionable Vienna coachmen
who are known all over Europe as
''fesche Wiener fiaker . The distinc-
tion of those characters is a kind of
good natured boldness and droll famil-
iarity toward their customers as we'll as
TO perfect strangers.
After listening awhile Prince William
put in a word, and soon was drawn into
the excited discussion. Suddenly a stout.
red faced coachman walked up to the
table where the three princes were seat
ed, and, tapping Prince William gently
on the shoulder, said, Now, if you
should ever have anything to say in
politics, you wouldn't set a river on fire,
I'm sure!'
As every public coachman in Vienna
wears a number. this coachman was
upon special request of Prince William
easily identified. The prince sent him
handsome scarfpin with his initials as
thanks for the amusement he had fur
nished, and TINS the man learned in
amazement whose political abilities
they were that he had so belittled. -

A Remarkable Tree.

There is a Maynard white oak tree
near Laporte, Ind, that may well puz-
zle naturalists with the vagaries of its
growth. The tree is feet in circumfer-
ence at the base, and there IRE no
branches of any size below feet from
the ground. There the great bole di-
vides into a number of limbs Two
leaving the trunk about 20 inches apart,
grow west, their lines diverging for some
6 feet, and then each rending toward
the other. Twelve feet from the body of
the tree they unite again, making per-
feet oval, and out of this grow two
smaller branches. AS if not satisfied
with that expressed disregard for the
laws of nature, this old tree has per-
formed another feat Six feet from its
base grows another white oak, less than
half its size, and no sooner does the
smaller tree arrive at the charmed cir
cles of those branching limbs than one
of them grows right into it, and is alb
sorbed. The second tree is very much
larger 20 feet from the ground than at
it's base

PRESERVE THE HAIR.
ss0s Useful Suggestions to Those Who
Value What Is Invaluable.

Avoid tight fitting hats and collars.
also close fitting caps, unless these be
OF some porous material. The two former
prevent due supply of blood to the
parts; hence the hair papilla are put,
as it were, ON short commons all the
time the hats and collars are worn. The
caps engender caloric, which sets mn
irritation and ultimately that most
stubborn form of dandruff-namely
pltyriasis Il. e., hranny scales). Note
that all the headgear which is not porous
should be ventilated at top and sides to
allow free current of air.
Never sit or stand with the top of the
head near gas light or lamp light. The
heat thrown out is apt to paralyze the
scalp tissues and dries up the hair itself.
Don't wash the head oftener than
once fortnight. when first rub in the
yolk of an egg and thoroughly rinse out
with warm water, into which has been
thrown pinch of borax. Dry carefully
and apply little pure olive oil
Beware of the common practice of
dipping the comb in water when ar
ranging the hair. 1t promotes decompo-
sition and rancidity of the natural oil,
and 50 leads to ''rotting. y
If the hair be naturally dry, apply a
little olive oil occasionally. If natural
~ oily, occasionally wash away the ex-
cess Of sebaeeous secretion by means of
lather or tepid water and soap bark
(Quitlaya saponaria).
Salt water is most injurious to the
hair, for which reason when sea bath
ing wear an oil cap.
Always treat the scalp as if You loved
it. Take to heart DIR. Godfrey's dictum
that every touch affecting so delicate
texture as the scalp should be soft and
soothing, every application bland and
mild. " Don't use stiff bristled or wira
brushes, and in all cases brush gently.
Also, always brush out the hair before
attempting to comb it, and use the comb
as little as possible.
Have the ends of the hair clipped once
a month. if only to prevent them from
splitting. But don't close crop.-Phila-
delphia Times.

/ think much of the outcry against

such abolition were possible we would
desire for all other occasions to retain
