Chicago or New York. The workers

here and there a policeman, or soldier,

the president and his wife, or the king

these mounds reach an enormous size.

THE NEW WOMAN.

Does Womanlincss Inhere In Clothes, In
Occupation, or What?
a newspaper picked up lately tells
the story of a very competent and sue
cessful woman electrician. She under
stands every detail of electric lighting,
even to making much of the apparatus
She can figure on the cost of a contract
for electrical lighting or for plumbing
and gas fitting to any extent. She is
also an expert craftsman in the me-
chanical line. The writer of the story
remarks patronizingly that she is so
we'll up in mathematics that she solves
problems "few Zen would undertake. "
Again, when it comes to executing a
rush contract she can put it through as
fast as any man in her line" Again
1t is man, always man. If woman
can do anything as well as a man could
do it, she is patted ON the back and pat
ronized or regarded as a freak, as the
case may be. By the way, if a woman
plumber cannot do any better work
than the man plumber can, then heaven
help her! AS usual, however, the biog-
rapher of the woman electrician pro-
ceeds to descant ON her eminently wom-
anly character. AS usual, we are told
that in spite of her masculine occu-
patton she is not the least bit nlannish.
Oh, no! She is a good hOusekeeper-she
is really-likes to sew and makes her
own frocks. The common herd cannot
seem to get out of their heads that there
is actually sex in occupations, in cloth
ing-yes, in manners and morals too.
The biographer of the woman electrician
does not understand the truth that the
Sex is in the woman herself, not in her
work or in her clothes. Let us see how
it works the other way. Take. for in

A Dog That Plays Football.

A Dog That P10y0 Football.
A most amusing scene was witnessed
recently in Dublin, wher~ number Of
small boys were playing football with
large bladder under their own special
rules.
One Of the teams, presumably being
disappointed in the turn up of a ''man,"
filled the vacancy by substituting in his
stead handsome collie dog
The dog played his game with extraor-
ordinary intelligence, stopping the ball
with his head when it was going against
his team, and on every occasion upon
which he got possession Of it he ran
with it in his mouth and, despite all
opposition of his opponents, carried it
triumphantly through the goal The
game lasted about 25 minutes in the
presence of a large gathering aud ended
with much excitement in the dogs team
winning by ten goals to nil
AS there was no gate to receive money
and as the teams depended on the gen.
crosby of their patrons the latter volun-

The Strange Conduct of n Passenger

From the New Haven Leader.
The recent attempt of young King to
get away with $4,000 from the Boylston
Bank has drawn forth some incidents
connected with that institutions previous
experiences. The following one given us
by a New Haven man is connected with
the robbery Of about 1869, when some $500
600 was lifted from the banks vaults by
an deliberately worked plan. The meth
cd by which they worked, hiring a bar
Der shop next the bank and running 1t
for several months, while drilling through
the division wall, is familiar to the press,
but a little incident which is not general
ly known is this:
On the night of the robbery the late
Conductor "Hez" Mckinley of this city
took charge of his "owl" train at Spring.
field. Among his passengers he noticed
particularly three or four well-dressed
men, though they did not evidence any
connection between them and were not
seated together One of these men had
no ticket, and, saying he was going to
New Haven. produced bill in casual
manner to pay the fare. Mckinney was
phased al the size of the bill-a crisp 1000
bank note-and said he would have to
hand him the change after the next stop,
Hartford At Hartford he got the money,
and as the train started went through
the car to the seat that his man had oc-
cupied to square accounts. He identified
the passenger carefully and started to
hand out the money. The occupant of
the seat, however, appeared not to recog-
nize him, gave a blank stare of amaze
ment al the mass of money, and professed
TO have no knowledge of it, having just
got on at Hartford Though Mckinney
insisted on the identity and urged the
man to take the money, he stoutly refused.
When collection of tickets was made this
passenger produced some small change
and paid fare to Meriden, where he got
off the train. The other men left the
train at different stations.
At the end of the trip Mckinney re-
ported the occurrence at headquarters,
and while refusing to hand over the money
suggested that it be put in a bank and
advertised, which he himself did. No
claim was ever made for it.
After a long wait the railroad company
undertook to claim the money, but Nc
Kinney didn't see it in that light. He
paid over the fare from Springfield to
New Haven and returned the rest, being
supported in his action by legal opinion.
When he had allowed a considerable fur

ney used the money in nicely furnishing
his home. No clue could ever be found
as to the source of the money, but, Of
course, the conjecture was that the bill
was probably a part of the banks funds;
that the passenger handed it out by mis-
take and discovering 1t when too late,
decided to let it all go rather than leave
a trail.

STRANGE COLLECTIONS.
tuaI Value, Have Cost Much Money
and Pains.
From the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion.
There are among the readers of the Com
panion, no doubt, scores of collectors of
objects of interest or of curiosity. Stamps
postmarks, eggs, minerals, buttons, auto
graphs and photographs are commonly
gathered by young people. Every person
who has made such hoard can testify
to the rapidly with which the passion for
gathering grows and strengthens by graf
ifcation.
Some curious collections of articles, in
themselves valueless, have cost their own
ers enormous OUTLAWS of money and of
time. An eccentric banker accumulated
curious toys from every nation, expending
for them thousands of dollars. No child
was allowed to touch them, and as the
owner was ashamed to show them to
adults, very few eyes but his own saw
them until after his death.
Another wealthy and eccentric man own
ed almost an uncounted number of tea
pots, and a third spent so much money
upon clocks that he deprived himself of ev-
cry comfort in life.
One OF the most singular collections Is
that made by Monsieur De Sommerard of
shoes, now in the Musee de Cluny, in
Paris. There is the footwear of every
country and age; the sandal Of the Greek,
the wooden sabot of the French peasant,
the Turkish slipper of inlaid ivory the
Chinese two-toed shoe of quilted cotton,
fine embroidered shoes from Africa, high
hip boots of skin from Patagonia, and
hundreds of others.
A collection which has singular history
is to be found in an old building in Sails
bury, in England. A lad named Black
