lal. Organizations have taken by far
90 great a hold upon the lives OF our
women. and not by any means to their
greatest advantage. Outside interests
nave crowded out home affairs in the
,ase of too many Of our wives and
mothers. and unless radical change Is
made we shall, in few years. see the
fleets OF this wrong course far more
clearly than we already do.
This is not a fatalstic prophecy. Ev-
,ry woman of common sense admits 1t.
That whole business of womcn's clubs
and womens organizations of every
sort Is overdone. They are simply
,omplicating the lives of our women;
hey are not broadening them. as IS so

senls Cause a Commotlon.

Liege Is in a small commotion these
days and all over the escape OF two
young seals from the geological gar
den of that city. The creatures are
quite enjoying life in the River Meuse,
but they have stolen the comfort out
of the life of the zoo" authorities, who,
ever since their escape, have made
frantic efforts to recapture them. The
newspapers publish daily accounts Of
the seal hunts that are in progress,
and the Belgian love of hazard crops
out in numerous bets on the possibility
of catching the animals.
Discouraged by want Of success thf
authorities might abandon the hunt,
but the seals are out Of their marine
habitat, fresh water will soon prove
fatal to them, and 1t has, therefore,
been decided, II q final effort to recap
ture them proves unsuccessful, to
shoot them. Here, however, the Socie-
ty for the Prevention of Cruelty to An
imals steps in and suggests that If the
the seals cannot be captured the locks
must be opened and the creatures must
be driven into salt water. There the
controversy rests:-Brussels CORE

A MISUNDERSTANDING AyERTED.
Why the Civil Engineer Moved the Railroad
Mile.

The engineer who lays out railroad
dislikes to move q stake when 1t has
once been driven. If he thinks he is
right he will fight or quit, but he hates
to compromise. In THE Story Of the
Railroad" Cy Warman cites q charac-
teristic anecdote.
Once, when the present chief engi-
neer of a Western railroad was locat-
ing line in Missouri, he was asked
to change the stakes, and refused.
After the stakes had been set, n young
unshaven man. appeared and asked
that the road be 'moved over bit"
1.-THE road cannot be changed"
promptly returned the engineer; this
is the best place for it."
The man went into house, got
rifle, came out, and pulled up the
stakes. The indignant engineer start
cd toward him, but was intercepted by
an elderly woman. o
Cant you move your road over
little piece, mister" she asked.
Il don't see why I should" respond
ed the engineer. "My business is to
locate the line, and you can call on the
company for damages. What does
that young blackguard mean by sitting
there on stump with a gun?' he an
grily demanded.
That's Nip-he amt no blackguard.
That's Nip, my SON.
"Well, I'll nip him if he gets funny"
ooh, no, you won't. amt afraid o
that" said the woman. What come
over me when 1 seen you starting for
Nip was that p'r'aps you had n mother,
and how bad she'd feel to have you
come home that way"
"What way?'
"Well, if you persist in driving them
stakes there, you'll go home dead"
Look here, do you think I'm to be
bluffed by that ruffian?"
t"Nip amt no ruffian," said the wo-
man. "You see, we've always lived
here-Nip was born here-an' when the
grurillas come an called out paw an
shot him, we buried him jist whar he
fell, an we're always kept 1t as a
reservation, an Nip he's determined
you sha'n't disturb it, that's all"
"Then you don't object to the rail-
road?"
Lord O. mercy, no! We want the
road but we don't want you to disturb
paws grave"
Come" said the engineer, "let's go
and see Mp
When they had come up, to the
stump, the big engineer held out his
hand. Nip took it, but kept his eyes
on the stranger.
"Here it is" said the woman, touch
ing low stone lightly with her foot.
II sec," said the engineer. 1--WE can
miss that easily enough"
He moIed a mile of road. From that
day forward until the road was fin
ished;S and long after, the widows
home was the stopping-place for the
engineer.

The Trunk Umbrella.

The trunk; umbr ella, as its name
would imply, is an idea brought out
byfsome simple minded phllanthropist.
1T is nothing more or less than fold
ing umbrella, one that doubles con:
yeniently in the middle Of the cane
and can be gently laid In the tray Of
an ordinary trunk. At:the: ends Of the.
wires that support the silk cover there
is metal catch that, when adroitly
managed, shuts in, thus changing the
ordinary umbrella to an object half its
size, and filling with rapture the
breasts Of thousands Of beings who
haye, struggled with this problem for
ages. 1t does away WITH the clasps
once used to unite three or more um-
brellas and canes, and 1t does away
with the tendency to leave the cher
ished weapon behind when getting out
of car hurriedly.-New York Herald.

The Donkey Was at Fault.

A story, unearthed from nobody
knows where, is being circulated con-
corning the last election of Lord
Charles Beresford to the House OF
Commons. He was returned from
York City. While the votes were
being polled a costermonger arrived
on the scene to record his vote. His
donkey was decked out in sumptuous
green ribbons, the emblems of Beres
ford's opponent The voter, on being
asked the customary question, an
swered shortly, 81 gofor Lord Charley,
Lord bless him." Thereupon the
members of the opposing faction made
dash for the good man to convince
him that, according to the emblems
carried, he must cast his vote for their
candidate Thus challenged, he re-
piled: "Oh, it's all right. I'm d
Tory; it's my donkey that's Radical,
but he's an ass" The denouement is
not recorded. New York Times.

THREE BILLION BUSHELS OF WHEAT
The Amount Required to Feed the World
for q Year.


= While the world thanks to the
fields of North America-has probably
grown in 1S9S-99 the greatest crop of
wheat ever harvested rs Que result of
the depletion of American herds and
the devotion of an otherwise impossi-
BILE ten million acres to wheat produc-
tion, yet We must not loose sight of
the fact that, while the years harvest
probably exceeds the great world crop
of 1894 by some so, 900, 900 bushels,
requirements have increased by more
than 100, 900, 900 bushels, and that the
product of the harvest of 1S9S-99 was
drawn upon q month earlier than
usual, in order to eke out defective
supplies from the harvest of lS97-9S-
that is, while the world harvest of
1S9S-99 appears to be some $1,000, 900
bushels greater than the greatest pre-
ceding one, yet it is defective by reason
of a great increase in requirements
since 1894, rs we'll as by the fact that
it must meet the needs of l3 instead
of II months.
Basing an estimate of requirements
for the 1S96-99 harvest. year upon the
known increase of population and the
consumption of recent years, as in
dicated by estimates, the "bread-eat-
ing" populations of European lineage
inhabiting Europe, the United States,
Canada, Australasiag- Argentina,
Uruguay, Chile, South Africa, Siberia
End the whites ofthe island and-tropiE
cal colonies of Europe will need
some 2, 1850, 600, 900 of wheat, plus the
16O, 900, 900 or more bushels re-
quired to cover the thirteenth
month. Accepting the highest re-
putable estimate of the outturn of
the 1s9S-99 harvest in the regions
named and adding 10000, 900 bushels
for possible imports from Southern
Asia and North Africa, the available
supply aggregates $4,000, 900
bushels. Granting that these estimates
are approximately correct it will be
necessary to make anticipatory drafts
upon the harvest of 1899 fer about
100000 600 bushels, showing that
even with the largest outturns
the accumulation of reserves to
tide over such defective harvests as
that of 1897 is noIonger possible, the
power to. make such accumulations
having disappeared in the absence of
acreage increases proportioned to the
increase of the consuming popula-
tions.

THE COURAGE OF PRIDE.
1t Is Seen in Only the Finest Types of
Manhood. 80

IL lS seen IN only Ine clHest lJPoS VI
Manhood.
Dan Beard the artist, in discussing
the various phases of courage the other
day, remarked: Every few people
take account of the courage of pride.
Some men are thoroughly fearless;
others are brave under certain condi-
tions, but are found wanting when
circumstances of an unusual character
demand the exercises of heroic quail
ties. A New York fireman, whom
nothing under heaven in the shape of
fire could daunt, might become de-
moralized with terror in gale at sea.
On the other hand,a sailor who would
think nothing of climbing to the high
est point of mast to take in sail dur,
ing raging typhoon could not be in.
duced to sleep alone in house. Many

out with flying colors. ,;.s
''The courage of pride, however, is
one of the finest qualities of manhood.
It is sort of negative courage. In
other words, it is the quality which
makes man afraid to be coward.
afraid of his own conscience. AS au
illustration of this quality, I remember
an instance that occurred in Ohio
when I was boy. ','{s.
cit was in the early winter, and
one of the big ponds in our neighbor--
hood was frozen over, and quite a
number of girls and boys were skating,
on it. Presently tall, lean Kentuck-
ian, wearing large slouch hat with
the crown dented in to give the ap-
pearance of carelessness, came down
the road, and stopped at the edge Of
the pond and watched the skaters.
He noticed that the ice was thin and
weak, and it seemed to cause him
great anxiety and concern. Although.
lie was stranger in those parts, and
had no actual business there, he APP
peared to be held by fascinated in
terest in what was going on. The ex::.
preston of anxiety in his face deep
ened, and he grew exceedingly ner-
vous. Finally, when he could appar-,
emily stand the strain no longer, he
called the leading young man of the
party to him, and in very peremp-
tory manner demanded that he bring
all the girls off the pond.
"The young man thus addressed re-
sented the einterference of the stranger,
fatty refused to do as he was hidden,
and rudely asked him how it con-
cerned him, anyway.
"'How does it concern me?' re-,
torted the Kentuckian interrogatiyely.
'Why, confound It'll first thing you
know some of those girls wilt break

fact her railway mileage decreased
during the last decade, several short
likes having been abandoned as un-

1882; in 1895 it was 1875; i'll 1897 it
was 8943, and in 1898 it was 1851; but

Important Decision In Regard to Reputa-

In tho United States Circuit Court in San
Francisco, CAL, a decision has been given
that is of great interest to manufacturers
of proprietary articles and to publishers.
The case in question was the suit of the
California Fig Syrup Co. to obtain per-
manent injunction, which was granted, en-
joining largo non-sccret manufacturing
concern and others from using the name
Syrup of Figs" or Zig Syrup and or
dering the defendants 10 pay costs and

courts will protect the valuable reputa-
tion of an article OF merit, built up by
pfobity of word Us well as by extensive ad-
vertising, so that the owner may reap the
full benefit. The overwhelming evidence
presented, as to the merits Of the company's
laxative, could not bo gainsaid by the de-
