GeOEraphy For Women.

The introduction to Parkentcl's
'Modern Atlas published in 1915,
has reference to "the SEX which
ought to- be very interesting to our
modern college girl. The learned author
says:
Geography is a study so universally
instructive and pleasing that it has for
nearly-a century been taught even to
females, whose pursuits are foreign from
serious researches. In the trivial con-
versation Of the social circle; in the
daily avidity of the occurrences of the
times, pregnant indeed above all others
with rapid and important changes that
affect the very existence Of states and
empires, geography has become ha-
bitual resource to the elegant female, as
we'll as the profound philosopher.

Poor Chance For Poets.

A poet is cross with me because I de-
cline firmly to read his manuscripts and
advise him as to the desirab leness Of
taking to verse with all his young ener-
gy. Other poets may take statistical
view of their case. Let them consider
the estimated population of the globe.
How many of them have justified their
conduct in being poets2 At this hour.

pose, for the sake of argument, that
there are six How many millions TO
one is it against the, success Of tho neo-
phyte? But, if versify he must, let him
send his work to all the editors. If they
think his poems worth printing (and
paying for), then let him make friends
with certain young critics. who will
blow his trumpet before him. But do
not let him bother busy old men, who,
by reason of their age, are no longer
good judges. Andrew Lang in Long

''Of course everything about the fire

Mr.: Glimby, 3tbut there is one little
thing in particular that I've seen I
suppose hundreds Of times that. appeals
to me more every time I see it., and that
is the fremen getting into their coats
as they go along: You see this among
the men on trucks and on hose wagons
The men on the engine have to uss
their hands to hold on: q g i: Is. s:.
tt S a simple enough thing in gen
eral to see a man putting on his coat
but here he isn't standing up in his
room before mirror, but he's jumped
out of bed and taken his coat under his
arm and slid down a sliding pole and is
completing his dressing sitting on top
of rack of ladders going through the
street like mad, drawn by, three great
horses at one. end; with. a man down
at the other end steering this outfit
with wheel. This sight never loses it's
novelty or it's interest. You may see the
same thing on a hose wagon. IS -
'But what set me to speaking about
this now was seeing a man on a fire
patrol wagon, sitting on one Of their
long seats, facing outward, pulling up
the tops Of his high boots-red wagon,
galloping horses, banging gong, men in

JACK AND HIS WILL.
Special Act of the British Par1fn-
ment Arranges That Matter.

HncHl AEEAH9CS AnuA
Jack has the proud distinction of
having had an act of parliament passed
for the express purpose Of deciding the
way in which he must make his will,
SO that while all other Britons are
Jumped together in this matter under
the wills act Of 1888 sailors testament
airy documents are made under tho
naval wills act Of 1866. The most i'm
portant proviso Of this act is tina: all
wills made by sailors or marines must
be witnessed and attested by the chap
lain or some ether officer if they are
actually made on board ship, and this
is somewhat curious.
If a sailor likes to make his will on
shore, any one can witness it for him,
but on board ship the case is different.
Needless. to say they almost all to
man choose the latter course, as they
know that things will be straighter for
bearing an officers signature. If, how
ever, supposing that the vessel was in
action and man was to be struck
down who had not previously made a
will, if he had to do so before he died,
even if it were not attested by an Off
Ger, the admiralty has full power to
act on the merits of the case and to dis
pense with that or any other Formally
that it was impossible to comply with.
Another thing-a sailor shares with a
soldier the privilege of when on active
service being the only man who can
dispense with written will and make
a verbal one. ..r~.s,. -
In former times any one could make
his will verbally if he SO desired,
but this, as may be supposed, opened
the door to no end Of fraud, and it was
consequently repealed in the 1888 act,
except in the case mentioned above.
On the night before a ship or regi-
ment goes into action there is no more
pathetic sight than to see the men,
young and old, laboriously writing their
wills in case tomorrow should be their
last day in this world, and what with
witnessing wills and making them on
the forms issued by the authorities for
those who cannot write--and this class
has now almost entirely disappeared
from both the navy and the army-the
officers have a very busy time.-Lon-

One Of Lies TRAGEDIES.

A story was told by London Truth
not long since and its correctness
vouched for, which shows the folly of
acting hastily and impulsively in i'm
portant concerns in life.
The son of very wealthy man at his
fathers death found himself free to in
dulge every whim. He had yachts,
horses, an island on which he played
king at his pleasure. He was not an
immoral man, but idle and foolish.
One day while using long distance
telephone he was charmed by the voice
Of the operator at the other end Of the
line He managed to discover that it
was that Of woman, young, single
and pretty. In the course of few days
he convinced himself that the owner
Of the voice was the one human being
who should be his wife and that life
would be empty and desolate without
her.
The girl was poor and listened to his
proposals. He cabled her money to buy
her trousseau and to secure chaperon
to accompany her to the town where he
resided
In due time she arrived. Her looks
were as attractive as her voice. He
married her and few days later was
found dead by his own hand in his
room. He left no explanation beyond
the words, IT have made mistake, >

in the case of Clarence NJ. Busch eX-
State Printer, va. Thomas NJ. Jones,
Superintendent of Public Printing and
Binding, proceeding in which Mr..
Busch sought to compel Mr.. Jones to
approve the payment of $50, 662 50 for
printing an alleged pamphlet on the
Enemies and Diseases of Poultry.
This pamphlet originally contained
1913 pages and cost s4S9. "a, As reprint
ed by Mr.. Busch, from copy furnished
by subordinates in the Agricultural
Department, it contained S66 printed
pages and 131 costly illustrations, OF
which 80 are full-page colored litho
graphs. When Mr.. Busch presented
his bill TO Mr.. jnnes the Superintend-
ent promptly refused TO pay j. for the
reason that the copy had not gone
through his hands, nor through the
hands Of his predecessor, nor had the
work been ofdDred by the head of the
department. Mr.. Jones also refused tc
approve the bill because there were q

irrelevant and to his mind were only
placed there to fill it out and add to the
cost. Ths most potent reason for re
fusal, however, was that this was not {
