"W0MAN'S LIFE CIRCLE.
A Puzzle That Looks Simple, But
Who Can Do It2
NOT ONE IN A MILLION.

Here is a puzzle. 1t looks simple. 1t
seems simple. 1t is simple. Yet not one
person in a million can solve it. They may
have been ia ugbt how to do 1t, but the fact
remains that they can't do it.
While at first blush this may seem of
little or no consequence to either man or
woman, the reader will presently see that
this puzzle illustrates principle that bears
directly upon the life and happiness OF
every woman, and forms a cont rolling factor
in every profession.
CAN YOU DO IT?
The puzzle must be solved with piece
of paper, pencil, the human eye, the
human hand, and nothing else. 1t is
simply to make with one operation and
without lifting the pencil from the paper,
circles like that shown i'll Figure /. You
may be. able to make one such circle by
accident, but If you think you can make
twenty in a day, in week, or even In
month, just try il and get your friends to
try it. The circles must not be like
Figure 9, but like Figure /. You will
soon find that this is not merely case
of know how" for everybody knows
how. 1t is a case OF know how COM
bined with never fall Not one of
five hundred of young men and women
college graduates can do it. The one
who can do it Is

Twelfth Night Club, a dramatic wo-

ranged a testimonial in honor of the
veteran actor, Joseph jefferson when

Among the people in the audience
who were permitted, after the pres

the notable impersonator of "Trip Van

The difficulties of our daily path
were not intended to stop us, to make
us give up or faint, or back back.
They were meant for us to over
come, and the power to do it waits
only upon our will. When we over
come them we acquire their strength.
If we allow them to overcome us they
take away ours. Therefore, our mis-
sion, our destiny, is to overcome
them. Seen in this light, the obstacle
which seemed formidable to me yes
terday possesses no terrors today.
"You are nothing but thing for me
to overcome" cries my will, and it's
shout of triumph is but the forerunner
of it's victory through divine help.

Bicyclists have pushed their frozen
way to Siberia, have mopped their
perspiring faces under the temples
of Thibet, and have discussed tires and
gearing beneath the shadow of the
great pyramid. The maidens of Nor
way have laid their Ibsen aside and
the matrons of Germany leave their
babies to glide abroad on the public
highways. The tinkle of the too ia
miliar bell startles the bronco on the
tracks in the Argentine Republic. In
London, in, New York and in Paris
wheeling is the fashionable fad of the
hour, a fad extending to every class
of society. But about the last place
where one would ever expect the BIZ
cycle the rage is Venice, where all the
great thoroughfares of the city con-
sist of water, and gondolas constitute
the ordinary means of conveyance.
Yet according to the report of the
British consul at Venice, just publish
ed in London, the Queen of the Adri-
attic has succumbed to the charms OF
the wheel, which monopolizes at the
present moment all her attention and
all her interest.

SRIPB UILDING UNDER DEMO-
CRATIC AND REPUBLICAN, RULE

The Democratic Commissioner of
Navigation's last report, that for the
fiscal year ending in 1895, shows some
rather startling figures of shipbuild-
ing conditions under Democratic and
Republican rule, which it is worth
while here recording.
During the administration of Gar
field and Arthur, preceding the first
administration of Grover Cleveland,
the total tonnage of all vessels built
in the United States amounted to l.
O53,672. During Mr.. Cleveland's first
term the tonnage of all vessels built
aggregated but 623, 046 tons, de-
crease of Al per cent. During the ad-
ministration of Benjamin Harrison
the tonnage of all vessels built in the
United States rose again to 1904, 1872
being an increase in the amount of
construction over that built under
Grover Cleveland's administration of
just "a per cent. During the first
three years of Grover Cleveland's
second administration the vessels
built in the United States aggregated
454, 1876 tons, as compared with a con-
struction of S94,559 under the first
three years of Benjamin Harrison's
administration, or a fall since the Re-
publicans lost control of the govern
ment, of 40 per cent.
1t is not difficult to understand,
from these figures, why it is large
majority, in fact about all, of the
shipbuilders and shipowners of the
country are strongly Republican.

State News Items.

Emmett Dodge, who lives in the
Harvey Fisher place in Waterford,
was killed by lightning last Sunday
afternoon at the Frank Grant farm in
East Concord. Mr.. Dodge was sitting
in room close by his brother, Eu-
gene Dodge, and r. ID. Pratt; these
two were not affected by the shock
but Mr.. Smith who was in another
part of the house was quite badly in
jured. Mr.. Dodge leaves wife and
two small children, who have the
sympathy of all in this sudden be-
reavement.
Gold has been discovered at Wood
bury, in the blue state formation on
the shores of Nelson's pond on the
farm belonging to George w. Angel.
The vein on the surface showed only
enough gold to pay a few cents ton
for the ore, but continued blasting
revealed a widening of the vein to a
point where the ore was worth $500
ton. Since then the excavation has
been carried further down and indi-
cations of paying quartz have been
found. Secretary Wilder, of the
Ottaqueechee Mining company,
which is operating in mines at Bridg-
water, is enthusiastic over the pros
poets of the Woodbury. mine.

The Amazon is the king of streams.
From first to last it receives over l.,
200 tributaries, of which more than
100 are large sized rivers and rise so
far apart and have their floods and
GIBBS at such different seasons that the
Amazon is at about the same height
the year around. At some points on
it's lower course one bank is invisible
from the other. The beholder seems
to be looking on a great yellow sea of
fresh water. When discovered, some
tribes of Indians on the lower portion
knew nothing of the existence of the
opposite shore and did not believe that
it existed, saying that ''the great
river flowed all around the world" It's
mouth, including that of the Para, is
$50 miles in width, and it is navigable
for large sized ocean steamers for
1000 miles from the sea, and so vast
is the food that the ocean is tinged
yellow for 400 miles from the coast of
Brazil.

WHO MADE THE PLATFORM.

Col. Childs of the Messenger, in an
interesting article in that paper, a
part of which is given, gives this in
formation about the formation of the
financial plank of the platform.
That the labors of Senator Lodge,
Mr.. Platt, Republican leaders and
newspapers in this section of the
country and and elsewhere, exerted a
great influence upon the minds of the
gentlemen who were invited to and
attended the Kohlsaat conference at
the Southern hotel on Saturday the
18th inst. is undoubtedly true, but it
is no less true the financial plank of
the Republican national convention
of 1896 as presented by the committee
on resolutions by Ex-Governor For
aker and adopted by the convention,
was drafted by the open and avowed
supporters of Major Mckinley, was
endorsed by the delegates favoring
the nomination of the Ohio leader,
and neither Senator Lodge, Thomas
@. Platt nor any other of the anti Nc
Kinley supporters were consulted
with regard to it until it had been en-
dorsed by all or nearly all of the more
prominent supporters of Major Nc
Kinley who were in attendance upon
the convention in the interest of his
candidacy.
1t was, of course, possible that the
committee on resolutions might not
adopt the plank as framed by the
Kohlsaat conference, but any dele
gate to the convention, any CORES
pondent of any newspaper who de-
sired to learn the truth, would have
found no difficulty in ascertaining the
fact that, SO far as they could effect it
the recognized leaders of the McKin-
ley campaign had determined upon
straight out declaration in favor of
the gold standard more than forty
eight hours before the convention
was called to order by Chairman Car
ter of the national committee and
nearly twenty four hours before SEN
ator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, occupied his quarters at the
Southern hotel.

A new town, to be occupied exclu-
sively by colored persons, is soon to
be founded near Tecumseh, Kansas,
and will be named Sumner. A syn
dictate of colored people has bought
1900 acres of choice land, which will
be subdlvided and sold at low price
and on easy terms. 1t is said that the
establishment of several manufac-
tories in the new town is assured, and
the promoters expect the enterprise to
be success. The new town of Fitz-
gerald, Georgia, started recently by
settlers from the Northern States, is
notable because of the fact that no
colored person is permitted to work
or live in it under any circumstances.

A lady in New Jersey sends this
story, gained from an American who
saw the incident in India. A COM
pany of elephants were trying to
move an unusually heavy burden. At
ter repeated and unsuccessful at
tempts, a large animal, apparently
the "boss'' of the gang, withdrew to a
distance, followed by the others.
There they stood for a few minutes,
with heads together, as if in consulta-
ton. They then returned, and tackl-
ed their task in an entire different
way and with immediate success. The
spectators gave them a hearty round
of applause, to which the elephants
responded with waving of trunks as
they trotted off.

Almeria is threatened with famine,
and the inhabitants are emigrating in
large numbers to Algeria. Moreover,
the papers are beginning to publish in
the shape of letters from soldiers in
the field, appalling details of the suf-
ferlngs of the troops in Cuba.
