The st. Louis Inclt;ent.

The mayer of St Louis refused the request of the Woman Suffrage club of the city that a woman be appointed street inspector, saying that woman s place was at home. Certainly the condi- tion of the streets in many cities would tend to support the mayors idea. But as unfortunately women have to come in contact with all this pollution in the ordinary course of their business and pleasure why should they not come in contact with it with authority to banish it? It would be hard work to convince women accustomed to taking hold of things that need clearing up that it is more womanly to endure that which is nuisance and a menace to health than it is to remedy it. How differently mayors talk in states where women are voters l-Woman' s Tribune.

"Wiikes and Libertv."

Wilkes boldly offered himself as q candidate for the City, and on his rejec- tiOn for the county of Middlesex. The scenes of that election beggar descrip- tion and are too well known to need it One incident is too amusing to escape repetition. The Austrian em mbassador, the Graf ven Seilern, most solemn and naughty of the representatives of a solemn court. was dragged from bis car riage Ly the mob and "45" chalked oD the sOles of hls boots. His constantly reiterated demands for reparation, which it was impossible to satisfy, only made him the more ridiculous.

Probably Just From Chicago.

The enviable reputation which Cleve- land holds in educational circles is en- larged. Many's the time and oft that our citizens have laughingly read of the peculiar answers which scholars have given ill the schools of other cities, con- placently assuring themselves that noth- ing of that sort would happen in Cleve land, but an incident which occurred in one of the high schools-we will not designate which one, as Principal liar ris might feel unduly complimented- will serve to advise us that some Chi cago children must have been recently enrolled on our school list.
 It happened in the English ciass The question was "Who was Dante?'
 The scholar called upon arose and gave the startling information that Dante was Greek goddess. "
 "What were some of Dante's works?' asked the teacher.

SUBURBANITE MEMORY.
Devices Employed by Wives to Remind
 Husbands of Brands.

Talking of memory systems, said the suburbanite on the accommodation train, ''I can't for the life of me see how man who is unable to remem mber one thing is helped by having to re- member two. If I tie string around my finger, must recall the purpose of wearing it, which never can do. If must always think of rain when want to carry an umbrella, I have double work. Now, my wife wanted me to re- member something today, and she gave me word to say over to myself, and I've forgotten the word" :"
 "Pooh! It's easy enough to remem- Der things if you give your mind to It," said another suburbanite. "My wife told me to be sure to order some now what the mischief was it? Soap? Bluing? We'll, that's funny. I thought I would be sure to remember ''
 He plunged his hands into his over coat pockets to cover his chagrin and pulled out of one rough bit of scant- ling with memorandum in lead pen cil attached.
 Well, vowl My wife must have stuck that thing in there. Oh, yes, I see. It was load of kindling she want ed me to order. But one could hardly be expected to remember a thing like that.''
 ''I wish I could find a reminder of what I am to get as easy as you did, but my wife doesn't believe in giving a sample to help out poor memory. Hello, old fellow, how's that?"
 He had pulled a little rubber shoe out of his pocket and was regarding it with loving eyes,
 "Sammy's 0vershoe, by all that's queerl And here's something inside. Length. five inches. Bless his little heart. I'd have forgot all about them if 1t badu | been for this memory lesson There's something iu the system after al. Chicago Times Herald.

A Polite Judge.

MT. Justice Maule once went on cir cult with Judge Coleridge in a part of England where the high sheriff was a shy and modest man and very much alarmed at having to entertain his cyn- ical lordship. Coming home in his coacb with the two judges, he thought it his duty to make conversation for them. He observed that he hoped there would be bett; weather, as the moon had changed. And are you such fool, MT. Jones, as to imagine that the moon has any effect on the weather?" said Maule.
 Really, Brother Maule," said Cole ridge, who was politeness itself, "you are very hard upon your friend. For my part think the moon has a consid- erable effect upon it. ''
 ''Then, " said Maule, "you are as great fool as Jones is. |"

Descent from a Balloon bv Bicvc1e

Descent from a Balloon by Bicycle
 A pharachutist, known as "Profes- sor" Anthony, has accomplished a sen- sational descent at Luton by dropping from height of 5000 feet while ped aling' a bicycle. This is said to be the first introduction of the bicycle in- to this hazardous kind of exhibition. Signor Balleni, of the Crystal Palace, took the balloon up with the "profes- sor' dangling below the car, and when an elevation of 5000 feet had been reached, he gave the signal to drop. The parachute opened by an apparatus worked by 'pedaling" the bicycle, and the ''professor" afterward stated that he dropped fifty feet before 1t opened properly. During that time he had to ''pedar' hard. The descent was very slow on account of the parachute being rather too large, and the parachutist was carried by the wind to some farms near Caddington, from which place he rode back to Luton.-Pall Mall Gazette.
