THE WOMANLY CHARM.
In That is the Real Power by Which She
ConQuers.

When Boadicca queen of the Iceni, a
tribe of Britain, led her army to battle,
she wore Il mans armor, but was always
careful to leave her golden hair floating
over the steel links that all men might
know that she was not only warrior,
but Il woman
Queen Elizabeth, the most shrcwd and
prudent sovereign of her day, when she
held important councils with ambassa-
doris from other countries,s not only, we
are told, brought all her learning and
sagacity to bear against them, but tuck
ell herself in her most splendid apparel
and rarest jewels using all little female
arts to win them to her service''
Victoria has laid deep the foundation of
her empire over her subjects in their
affections. 1t is not the hereditary queen
THAT they reverence so much rs the mod
est young girl, the faithful wife, the
good. kindly woman of the throne
The first lady in our own land has en-
dearcd herself to the nation not as II pol
itican or as IL social leader, but as n most
gracious gentlewoman.
1t is Il singular fact that no woman has
ever long influenced the world as n ruler
writer or even as rcfoi mer who threw
aside her feminine weapons.
The charm of IL womanly woman is n
real power. Her gcntlencss, her dclicacy
hey niodesty are real forces. The girl
who dresses like man, who swaggcrs
who talks loudly, discusses risque books
and smokes cigarettes is like Il soldier who
has thrown away his weapon before he
goes into battle.
Her bicycle for example, may be good
useful thing, but she will not induce the
public to approve of bicycles for women
by appearing on it rs in offensive carica-
turc of II man. She will not win the
world to her cause, however just, by dis.
gustiuS ii with herself
Why should any of our girls throw
away the weapons that God has given

She was stopped by Il ragged little

blushed and hurried away, when she saw
that the affair had been noticed by some

One of them called the boy to him and
said:
II say, little chap, I'll give you 80 cents
for that flower
The little fellow opened his eyes in
wonder. He looked at his treasure and
thought of the triumph it would be to
wear it before his associates and tell them
that II ''sho huff fine lady givcd it to

the 80 cents would bring. How grandly
he would entertain his friends.

An astonishing physiological phenom-

SWALLOWED HIS BROTHER.
Cannabalistic Black Snake Makes a Meal
OG His Relative.

Two big black snakes, owned by Chris
Schcad, and on exhibition until Saturday
at his cafe ut Park and South avenues,
furnished excitement on that day for all
who visited the place Now there is but
one on exhibition. They had lively
fight, and the victor proceeded to swallow
the vanquished, says the bridgeport
'Union.n
The snakes fought snvagcly for about
twenty minutes, writhing and coiling
with the rapidity of lightning. Finally
the larger one seized its adversary by
the head. That settled it. The winner
of the scrap at once started in to make IL
meal of his late antagonist. The process
of swallowing was II slow one and at
midnight, when Mr.. Schread closed his
place, about three inches of the tail was
still hanging from the others mouth
The unfortunate snake was not dead. and
from time to time wriggicd convulsivelv.
The victorious snake was between four
and five feet long. The one that sue.
cumbed was about three inches shorter.
Mr.. Schrcad, who is something of an
cphitologist says that he never heard of
but one previous instance of snake
swallowing another of the same species.
That was ut the London 100, where n
