How IT SrARTED.-Madam, can
you look back and count the num-
Der of homes made miserable by
ruthless and cruel gossip and ac-
knowledge to yourself that you
have not helped to contribute to
that misery? Have you ever re-
peated story damaging to some
sister woman's character, which
you have heard from some one of
questionable veracity? Have you?
Yes? Do you regard yourself as
an, honest woman? Yes? Then
did you ever stop to think that you
were given an honest woman's
sanction to that which you could
not possibly know was true and
which in all probability was false2
You did not take the trouble tom
vestigate. You are too much of a
lady to investigate other peoples
affairs. You just repeated what
you heard-repeated it probably
under the pledge of secrecy and
with the distinct understanding
that you did not vouch for the
truth of the story. That was the
way you did. And the person you
repeated it to repeated it to some
body else-repeated it just az you
thunder the pledge of
secrecy and with the distinct I'M
Outstanding that she did not vouch
for the truth of the story. She Just
gave you as her authority. This
last person to whom the story was
knew you and knowing
YOU to be an honest woman she re-
peated the story just as you and
your friend had repeated it, max
ing no great alterations farther
than To say she had it on unques-
toned authority. That, madam,
was the way the lie was started |
which was soon the talk of the |
whole country. That is the way
every lie is set ahoat. There are
about four women and one or two
men in every neighborhood and
town who are directly responsible
for nine tenths of all the evil re-
ports set in circulation here, there
md everywhere. You know them.
We know them. Left to themselves

when you, an honest woman, and

A Useful Ant-Eater.

When a horde of hairy yellow cater.
pillars infested the linden trees at the
Geological Gardens recently, Head
Keeper Manley, who Is in charge dur
ing the absence of Superintendent
Brown, was sadly puzzled for way to
get rid of the pests. Poisonous sprin-
king mixtures, tar and coal oil were
all applied to the trees, but the results
fell far short of what had been hoped.
The caterplllars fiourished in spite of
all, and seemed to increase in numbers.
Then the ingenious head keeper had a
happy idea. He took the South Ameri-
can ant-eater from Its cage, and secur.
ing it with collar and a long cord
started it up one of the trees. The way
the creature laid about with its long.
sticky tongue, scooping in caterpillars
by the dozen, more than realized Man
leys greatest expectations 1t took to
them with as much relish as though
they were its natural food, and in the
course Of half an hour completely
cleaned the tree. Manley put the ant
eater up another tree and 1t ate until 1t
was gorged. Since then it has been
turned out three times a day, and so
great have been It's industry and appe-
tite that the caterplllars are nearly ex.
terminated.-Philadelphia Record.

fabulous by physicians, is nevertheless
true If the researches of E. Douliet

the study are unusually interesting. es-

the mothers, President Jordan proposes
the striking plan of branding the fe
males SO thoroughly that they will be
practically unavailable for skin hunt
ers' purposes. He and his staff made a
careful practical test of this method
and found that heavy and ineffaceable
brands could be burned across the back

mails in their experiments, and he calls
into evideRce the practice of giving the
Aleutian Indians 5000 seals each wear
Tor food-a measure which involved the
herding of about 10000 animals IN or
der that the quota of bachelors might
be separated and killed SO much for
the mothers and the more important
sex; but President Jordan is not in
clined to turn the noble army of bache-
Tors over to the tender mercies of the
seal hunters. He thinks that it would
be feasible TO herd up, say. 10000
bachelors in July, on st. Paurs or st.
Georges islands, and keep them fenced
In during August. Since the climate
conditions of Behring Sea confine ac-

loss for game sufficient to justify
their rather costly paraphernalia with
such number of animals subtracted
