IS CERTAINLY MAGIC.

There exists a curious affinity be-
tween women and alcohol. Every now
and then man tries to make tea with
spirit lamp in a railway carriage.
The lamp invariably explodes, and
usually burns the man more or less
severely. Statistics show that at least
l3 per cent Of male tourists burn them
selves in continental railway carriages.
but / have yet to hear OF the first
woman who has burned herself in such
way, writes w. l.. Alden, the English
humorist.
You will probably suggest that the
explanation Of this remarkable differ
ence lies in the fact that women never
make tea with a spirit lamp while
travelling. This is very true. but how
will you explain the fact that women
habitually heat their curling tongs
with spirit lamp when making a sea
voyage, and yet never set fire either to
themselves or the ship?
Formerly used to wonder how any
passenger ship ever escaped destruc-
tion by fire. Every morning. while
the vessel is at sea, from two to 200
women. according to the length Of the
passenger list, heat their curling tongs
in the privacy of their staterooms. on
board every liner that is afioat The
rules OF the company strictly forbid
the use OF spirit lamps in staterooms,
but Of course no woman ever yet paid
attention to the rules. II a male pas
senger tried to heat his shaving water
with spirit lamp he would set the
ship on fire at the first trial: but the
official records may be searched in vain
for an instance of fire at sea pro-
duced by woman passengers spirit
lamp. This proves beyond any ques-
tion that spirit lamps managed by
women never explode.
II also proves, what Is even more
strange. that such spirit lamps are
never upset. Every other article. large
or small, that comes within reach of a
woman will sooner or later be upset.
but her spirit lamp, though 1t may be
balanced on the edge of table in a
heavy sea, stands as firm as the eternal
hills. The more you consider this won
derful state of things, the more hope
less seems the mystery Of it. 1t is
absolutely beyond the reach OF solu-
ton.
We may say what is unquestionably
true, that there is such close affinity
between women and spirit lamps that
accidents are never produced by the
combination of the two; but this is
merely stating the problem. not solv-
ing It. Meanwhile the timid man trav-
eler, who has not discovered that
women never upset their spirit lamps.
will commit himself with fear and
trembling to the mercies OF the sea.
knowing that every woman who is
fellow-p passenger with him Is daily
heating her surreptitious curling iron.
and that It is daily miracle that the
ship and all on board are not con-
sumed by fire.
