In odd predicaments," remarked Capt.
Jenkins. but one Of the most peculiar sit
uations that ever befel an individual was
assuredly that of an ignorant Mexican a
good many years ago, near Indianola,
Tex, at the time the town was so nearly
destroyed by tropical hurricane or cy-
clone. have heard the story many times,
although it happened so long ago. 1t was
during the extreme hight of the cyclone.
Houses in Indianola were going to pieces
like so much paper, boats were being
wrecked, and 1t looked decidedly bad for
the individuals who were located in ex-
posed portions of the coast. 1t was about
this time that a little Mexican settlement
on one of the coast Islands adjacent to In
dianola began to go to pieces, the water
having risen over the top of the sand
dunes, and the waves smashing the loosely
constructed buildings of the settlement
into kindling wood.
Jose Barettl, one of the inhabitants of
the settlement, was separated from the
remainder of his family, and, clinging to
a long plank, was driven into the inner
bay over the ruins of the settlement When
the day broke he was out of sight of land
Inc waves nad Gained down and the
storm had gone. AS he cast his eyes about
In the early dawn, to his horror he found
the other end of the plank occupied by an
immense rattlesnake. las soon as the
snake observed the Mexican he began to
writhe aud coil in an odd sort of manner,
and, apparently, to make attempts to
reach the poor fellow, whose hair was then
standing on end in manner wonderful
TO behold. The hours went by. The snake
kept up his antics, but for some reason
did not get any nearer the Mexican The
unfortunate fellow was afraid to leave
the plank, knowing that he would drown,
and, at the same time, he was in horrible
fear of meeting death in a more terrific
manner from snake bite. He lay on the
end of the plank, with his eyes fixed on
the rattler. In fact, they both eyed each
other, and this they kept up until midday
when a fishing smack came sailing along
on the lookout for castaways The Next
can was seen from the boat, and in short
time was hauled on board more dead than
alive. He pointed weakly at his kissing
companion. The sailors on the smack
| killed the rattlesnake. and found that II
had damned its tail through a small
knothole in the plank. The immersion OF
the buttons of the rattle in the salt water
| had caused them to swell, and he was un-
| able to remove his tail from the hole. To
| this fortunate circumstance the Mexican
owed his life. The fact that the coast is
| lands contain many rattlers accounts for
the presence of the snake on the plank. =

Germany has Is. S61, 125 women, of whom
1,SlS,9H are in domestic service and 5,264,-
400 support themselves by industrial and
professional labor. Since 1882 the number
of self-supporting women in the empire has
increased by more than a million. To be
sure, this whole increase would not be re-
garded universally as a sign of woman's
progress. Some Americans might regard
1t as quite the reverse. For instance, in
the last sixteen years 2lS,245 women have
replaced 162,049 men as agricultural work
ers, accepting such low wages as to make
he change profitable to the employers Just
what the duties of these women i'm agri-
culture are the census does not state. A
person who has lived in rural Germany and
seen women hitched before the ploughs,
side by side with cows, or has observed
their Amazonian activity in the harvest
fields, can imagine, however, that a COM
posite picture Of the 2lS,2i5 at their tasks
would not please Sorosis or the w. c. T.
L.
All in all, the number OF German male
workers has Increased 1913 per cent. in the
last sixteen years, while that of the Ger
man female workers has increased 50 per
cent AS already indicated. only part of
these women workers are self-supporting /;
the rest of them merely contribute to the
family purses to which brothers and faith
ers also give their share. In the whole
empire but two classes of employment
have remained closed to the German wo-
man. one is the artisan class. from which
custom, not law, has barred her. The
other is the class of high government Off
cials Otherwise the world of business
and industry is open to the German wo-
man.

People who look complacently on the
spectacle Of girl of sixteen or eighteen
marrying a man twice her age, says the
New York Times, are ready to declare 1t
a proclamation of the marriage altar IL the
bride is a few years older than the bride
groom. 1t would be curious study i'm So
ciology to trace this prejudice to its
source. A prejudice it undoubtedly is, for
some of the happiest marriages known to
the world have been those in which the
wife was the older of the two.
Every one who knows his Boswell knows
the extraordinary devotion of Johnson to
the fat, ugly widow, whose manners were
execrable, and who was nearly twice his
age so the spiteful biographers say. He
knows, too how happy "Tetty" made
johnson, and what a grief her death was
to the great man.
The marriage of Margaret Fuller and
the Count d'Ossoli was a brilliant success
in point of happiness, though sadly brief.
Margaret was seven years older than her
husband and refused him several times
on this ground, but his devotion and per-
sistency overcame her reluctance, and the
result of the marriage fulfilled her dream
Of such happiness. 1t Is said that all who
saw them together were struck by the
lover-like fondness and exquisite defer
ence of d'Ossolrs manner toward the plain
New England woman seven years his SEN
her great intellect. Mrs. Story says Of
him: mo service was too trivial, no sacri-
flee too great When she was i'll he nursed
her and watched over her with the tender
ness of a woman. Such tender, unselish
love have rarely seen. 1t made green her
days and gave her an expression of peace
and serenity which before was a strang-
er to her"
Disraelrs wife was his senior, yet the
marriage was a notably happy one and
we all know the instance Of her wifely de-
Votion when her hand was horribly mash
ed in the door of a carriage, and she hero
ically bore the pain in silence because
her husband was on the point Of making
one of his great speeches, and she would
not disturb his mental equanimity by a
display Of her suffering.
The marriage of Robert Louis Stevenson
Is a more striking case still. All the world
is familiar with the opposition he encoun-
tered from family and friends when IL was
discovered that he loved a woman old
enough to be his mother and who was, in
deed a grandmother. 1t was rather an un-
promising outlook for the young and bril-
liant author of ''Virglnibus Puerisque,"
and we cannot wonder at the dlsapproval
of the friends who loved Stevenson and
who had never seen the charming woman
who became to him wife, friend, compan-
Ion, and nurse In the few remaining years
of his life. The Vailima letters show how
fittingly the union was and how true was
the instinct that drew Stevenson over
