A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE.-One of
the neighbors of Mrs. Bracenbit, the
wife of a carpenter, called in one
morning to have friendly chat.
81 must have been very careless as
I came up your front steps," she said.
81 see 1 have caught my dress on
something, and torn a big hole in the
skirt"
"You caught it on nail sticking up
from the bottom STEP" replied Mrs.
Bracenbit. "John was mending that
step when the men came along and
told him the union had ordered
strike. He had that nail half driven
in, but he threw down the hammer
and said he wasn't going to do another
lick till the strike was called of. It's
very inconvenient for us, of course,
but it's a matter of principle with
john"
"Well," rejoined the neighbor, shrug-
ging her shoulders and looking out of
the window at the offending nail,
"there's nothing like sticking up for
principle"

SECRET Of SEX DISCOVERY.
Professor Schenk Discusses Wonderful Re

suits of His Experiments.
VIENNA, January 12.-Professor
Schenk, of the Vienna university,
whose reported marvellous discovery
of the secret of sex startled clviliza-
ton last week, has made the first
authoritative statement of the result
of his experiments. DR.. Schenk, for
more than 80 years, has been absorbed
in studying the development OF the
human and lower animal embryOs,
and is the recognized leading author.
ity in that branch of science. He
published in 1867 the first essay on the
of the embryonal heart,
and since that time has written whole
library Of the development of man
and beast from the ovum or egg. He
is a thoroughly serious scientist, who
does not exploit his discovery for
money. He refuses to treat patients
for fees, however tempting. The cor
respondent asked:
"Can you give me positive, direct
information of your discovery with
regard to the treatment of women
anxious to have sons ?"
Professor Schenk answered with
determination

Science, where it will be tested and

On her return home she did this and

in this vein that the latter spoke of it
in a postscript to letter to Sir Jaffray.
The letter was dispatched to await the
baronet and his wife at New York, as
the time was drawing near for their re.

1t was in this way that the warning
was sent to Lola that her first husband
was alive and had already hunted her

HEADS OR TAILS.
rom the New Orleans Times-Democrat,

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat,
"Marie," began awkwardly, for l
had never proposed before, "you must
know-you must have seen for long
time that-that-I love you."
Marie said nothing, but sat looking
down at her hands, which were twist
ing bit of lace that she called a
handkerchief. She was smiling before
1 began. Sherpow looked distressed.
l do not like for Marie to look dis
tressed, for she then looks as if she
were going to cry. And crying wo'
man is not pretty. So for the minute
laid aside my own affair to comfort
Marie.
"Marie," 1 began, venturing with
much trepidation to lay my hand soft
ly upon both of "hers, "what's the
matter?"
She looked up. Her lips were
quivering, and tear, balanced for the
start, stood in each eye.
81 don't know what to do," she
whispered brokenly."
"Well ?" I said, inquiringly, inviting
her to continue.
She hesitated nervously for several
seconds. Then she went on almost
inaudibly:
"You see, Mr.. Transome told me
last night what you told me just now."
damn Transome % / said to my
self; and to Marie: "Well, Philip
Transome is fine fellow, you know"
"Of course" said Marie, acquiescing
little too readily, l thought.
"And he's good looking"
"Yes."
"And rich"
eyes,"
This itemizing rivals good points
to comfort the woman you love is
rather straining on ones generosity.
1t isn't so bad if the woman rewards
your generosity, as of course she
should. But Marie didn't. So l
stopped.
