WOMAN'S VIEW OF WOMAN.
Contrary to the Cynical idea, Women Do
Admire Each Other.

Cynics love to assert that women in
reality hato one another; that tho only
genuine mutual sentiment they possess is
envy; that their interest in each other is
feigned, and gleefully quote in support of
those views Lady Montagu's remark, 1T
goes far toward reconciing mo to being q
woman when | reflect that l am thus in
no danger of marrying one." Not being
a cynic, l don't agree with these wiseacres,
says writer in The Jenness Miller Month
ly, but am, on the contrary, Of the opinion
that women admire, appreciate and under
stand women more thoroughly than men
will ever be able to do, and ms logical

man is quite likely to comprehend broth
or man moro clearly than does q woman,
especially If this woman is in love with
this particular brother man, there not be-

is blind-the love between men and wom-
en-and being blind, and hence unable
to see it either cannot perceive ut all or
else it endows the loved ono in magma
tion with attributes neither he nor she
possesses, just as a person born sightless
either fails to credit the universe with any
qualities whatsoever or else gets an en-
tirely warped idea of it.

man and woman, to look upon them as
souls and thus looking, /, for one, see

BEHIND THE FINGER.
Lillian Bell Gets Her First Taste of Real
Liberty In England.


Miss Lillian Bell, who is narrating her
impressions of the old world and its people

from London in the November issue of

man raise his forefinger, and every vehicle
on wheels stops, and stops instantly, stops
in obedience TO law and order stops with

stops with no undetermined trying to drive

A Cunning BaboOn.

In tho Transvaal some of the fruit gar
dens are much exposed to the ravages of
large cyocephalio apes, and good guard
has to be kept, or tho results of long labor
would be lost. In some of those gardens
grow certain shrubs which arc much af-
fected by wasps, the insects liking to at
tach thereto their nests.
These wasps, though small have very
venomous sting. Balloons had often been
noticed eying with envious chances the
fast ripening fruit in one certain garden,
but feared to gather for fear of attracting
the assaults of the wGsps.
One morning the farmer heard terrible
cries, and with the aid of good fleldglass
he witnessed the following tragedy: A
large, venerable baboon, chief of tho band,
was catching the younger apes and pitch
ing them into the shrubs whoreon hung
the wasps' nests. This he repeated again
and again, in spite of tho most piteous
cries from his victims.
OF course tho wasps assumed the defen-
svo in swarms. During this part of tho
performance tho old brute quietly fed on
the fruit, dcigning occasionally To throw
fragmentary remains to some female and
young balloons little farther off.-Ncw

ONLY SHOP TALK.
There Is an Excellent Lesson For Young
Men In 1t, However.

"See that man with Mr.. G---?' in
quired the bookkeeper of tho new clerk

homeliness.
Ten years ago." he continued, she
came to work where was employed. He
was u smart chap, but the LATEST, appar-
emily, ever created. He was so ugly and
awkward that he became the butt of all
our secondhand jokes. Our head clerk
was quite a handsome fellow and very
much given to society, and consequently
late hours. One day he was worrying
Poxey, rs our lazy man was called, taunt-
ing him in very mean way about his
looks, when Poxey, thoroughly aroused,
said, Look here, Sam, may be ugly, and
not such n masher as you are, but in five
years I'll show you I'm better business
man.
From that time we noticed q change in
Poxey. He got permission to take tho
catalogues home. He would stay at night
with the proprietor when all the clerks
had gone, helping him with the plans for
builders hardware. At first he was only
live paper weight and kept the plans I'M
rolled, but gradually becoming more and
more useful until he was intrusted with

the best pay.
Then came one of those crises in bust
ness life which broke up our establishment.
Poxey accepted a position with a firm
in the same city as manager of the build
ers' hardware department, and then came,
as have heard him say the triumph of
his life. Sam came to him for position
He was weak enough, he said, to remind
Sam of the day he had tainted him, but
after giving vent to his feelings he thanked
Sam for the taunt, saying IL was that
more than the prospect of advancement
and higher wages, that had spurred him
to every effort.
He then used his influence, and Sam
was given position.
II know a man." remarked the tool
man, who had been listening, who was
something like your Poxey. He worked
well enough but aimlessly. Once he
went to see about position, but the pro-
prietor, a large, dignifed man, said: You
will not suit the position. want a man
to represent me- With that my friend
set to work, and his whole incentive was
To show that he could not only represent

stems the tables of the civilized world and
to take foremost rank among the lux
uries which the vegetable world affords.
How it would amaze the men of old to see
many of their weeds eaten, as is scurvy
grass, from the seacoasts of northern Eu
rope, when mixed with saladsl
Asparagus originally a wild seacoast
plant of Great Britain and Russia, has
come down through the ages with all the
weight of Greek and Roman approval
Plato ate it by the plateful, and Aristoph-
anes considered it great aid to diges-
ton. This culinary plant is closely related
to the famous asphodel, which was sup
posed by the ancicnts to be the leading
flower in the gardens of Elysium. Accord
ing to the Roman superstition, the names
of the dead fed on the roots of asphodel.
So abundant is the wild asparagus on the
steppes of Russia that cattle eat it like
grass. Not native to America, it has here
been raised TO its greatest perfection as
table delicacy. 1t seems TO be unquestion-
ably stimulus TO digestion and is prob
ably one of the most wholesome adjuncts
of dinner.
The seeds in some parts of southern Eu-
rope are dried and used as a substitute for

THE CITY OF THE FUTURE.
Water Power VIII Displace Coal and Iron
As the Natural Focus.

The modern industrial city has been de-
pendent for its rapid expansion upon its
superior advantages with respect 10 coal
that is, it must have either a navigable
water front, or he a natural railway re
ceiving and distributing center, or be the
natural focus of coal and iron region
All this will be changed in the great cleo
trical waterfall cities of the future. The
power as a rule, will be produced in the
mountains. while the cities will be scat
tered far and wide over the foothills.
There will be better air, more room, better
drainage, more civilized conditions of liv-
ing than is the case with the present over
crowded industrial bcehives, built, for the
most part, on the swampy deltas or in the
valleys of great rivers.
Under the pressure of dear coal and with
the attraction of cheap water power, the
face of Europe win be changed. AS in
dictated 10y Lord Kelvin, the highlands of
Scotland will become industrially more
important TO Great Britain than the COM
paratively flat midlands Switzerland, Nor
way and Sweden, the Austrian Tyrol and
Transatlantic may become the industrial
centers of Europe, owing TO their superior
ity in water power. For the rest, the
course of manufactures will seek the
sources of the great rivers or of rivers not
great which have very rapid fall
In distant lands we find English engi-
neers already making plans for saving the
energy of the falls of the Nile, 10 miles be-
low Cairo, and il is well within the bounds
of probability that the Nile cataracts will
some day supply the power necessary for
running trains of cars from Alexandria TO
Khartum. Not only are there magnif-
cent falls on the Zambezi ITSELF in south
central Africa, but many of its branches
in the Shire highlands have rapid descents
in level, admirably suited for the develop
ment of electricity by turbine wheels.
We too often think of Hindustan as
great plain, forgetting that the Himalaya
mountains, the highest on the globe, gave
birth TO the Ganges, the Indus, the Brah
maputra and the Oxus, all of which, with
their mountain tributaries, reach the plains
after taking innumerablc giant leaps down
the mountain sides. 1t is nonsense to say
that the development of this water power
is visionary. The falls of the Zambezi are
much more within the range of civiliza-
ton today than any part of Montana, for
example, in the United States, was 80
years ago.-E. II. Mullin in Casters

GRANT BEFORE THE WAR.
A Story OF How the Teamster Dined ~
the First Table.

For several years there was much said
about "a railroad fran Galena to James
VILE, the idea Selny, when once there, to
arrange with the then Milwaukee and
Mississippi, now the Chicago, milwaukee,
and St. Paul, to run line TO GAINESVILLE
from Milton Junction, and thus secure
Milwaukee connection. The line was
built from Milton to GAINESVILLE, but from
Galena to GAINESVILLE tho road Is still an
air castle.
A number of moneyed men of Galena
had been induced To interest themselves in
the project. In 1860 several of these gen.
tlemen, including the banker Henry Cor
with, who loaned vast sums of money to
Wisconsin lumbermen from 30 to 40
years ago, drove overland to James
Vile for double purpose-to see the
character of the country through which
the proposed road was to run and to con-
suit with A. Hyatt Smith and other
GAINESVILLE men concerning the contem-
plated enterprise Mr.. Corwith and his
party were met by Mr.. Smith and several
others. There was carriage ride in the
afternoon. One of the Galena party had
not been provided with a seat. He stood
I'm front of the hotel watching the delega-
tions preparing for the trip of pleasure and
business.
"Mr. Corwith, that gentleman is Of your
party, is he motif" asked Hyatt Smith.
eyes; he came over with us."
"Well, we'll! I'll sit with the driver,
and he can take my place"
"Never mind him, Mr.. Smith. Presume
he does not care to go. He Is our driver. "
1t was not exactly a banquet they had
that evening, after the GAINESVILLE people
had shown their visitors the town and told
them as much in its favor as it would
bear, but it was spread something be-
yond tho average for the little town of
1900 or 5000 inhabitants.
"Have you registered?" asked the land
lord of man he saw sitting pear the
stove soon after the visitors and their en-
tertainers had been located in the dining
room.
"No, SIR
"Going to stay with us tonight?"
81 guess So"
"Are you of the Galena partyP"
eyes; am the teamster."
The landlord stepped into the dining
room and said: "Mr Corwith, your driver
is in the barroom. Shall he come to supper
now, or waltz
Some one suggested that he wait.
'No; let him come in. Yes, landlord,
tell the captain to come in"
So it happened that Captain Grant did
not have TO wait and eat with tho servants,
even if he was the teamster.
