1t is found, as far as differences be-
tween sexes are concerned, that girls
in public schools are more sensitive at
all ages than boys. This, of course,
corresponds with the previous measure
ments, which showed that women are
more sensitive to pain than men.
Eight hundred and nineety-nine wo-
men and children were tested in get

THE WOMAN WITH THE HOE.
Deserving Of More Sympathy Than the Man
Without Energy to Rise.
Corvallis (Or.) Union-Gazette.

CorValns (Or.) CniOn-Gazette.
The man with the hoe is fact, but
he is not a product OF civilization. He
is the inexorable consequence of it, for
all nature is in arms to leave behind
and destroy the weakling. There is,
however, class of human beings in
the world to whom Edwin Markham's
lines apply, by simply changing the
sex:
The emptiness of ages in her face,
And on her back the burdens of the world.
She is the woman on the ranch, and
when he asks:
Who made her dead to rapture and despair,
thing that grieves not and that never hopes?
An answer can be given that will
bear some reasonable relationship to
the question.
While in the case of the man with
the hoe it is righteous fate that leaves
him behind in race he was too cow
ardly or too indolent to enter, in the
case of the woman on the ranch it is
often forgetfulness or thoughtlessness,
and sometimes neglect and cruelty.
And yet she dies and makes no sign !;
neither is poetry nor prose made to do
service in her behalf, while of all Gods
creatures on the earth to-day her bur-
den is the heaviest.
Not all the women on farms are
slaves, but there are more of them
than the world knows anything about.
Who is there that has not seen the
poor, tired face, the eye from which
the spirit has fled, the stopped shoul-
ders and heightened arms, the thin,
gray hair and other evidences that
hope has been left behind? And, then,
who cares? And there is the pity of
it, for the case is hopeless. Twenty
years ago she went to the farm a bride,
with the bloom of health on her cheek,
and the elastic step of youth. Since
that time she has likely borne child
every year and buried half of them /;
her daily life, when she was able to be
around, has never varied from its dull
round OF labor. First, she is cook,
washerwoman and seamstress for the
whole family, including her husband,
who, instead of icing help, is as use
less as an elephant, and perhaps as ty-
rannical as the devil. Then she has
the cows and the dairy; the chickens
and the pigs, and she is not so badly
off as some if she does not have to get
her own firewood. The vegetable gar
den usually falls to her share, and the
fruit, with thousand and one other
things that it would be tedious to emu.
merate, and which have utterly dis.
heartened her, until now, when she
ought to be in the prime of life, she is
ready to welcome death, that she may
find the rest which the world denies
her.
The country graveyards are full of
overworked wives, and the tombstones
say they were less than so when they
died. The insane asylum has many of
them, and many are alive who have
lost faith in everything, including God.
Where you will find one illustration of
the man with the hoe, you will find so
OF the women on the ranch, and while
you have to strain your metaphysical
education to find any sympathy for
the spiritless chap of Markham's crea-
ton, in the woman's case sympathy
and help are due her from every man
with heart.

Proper Care Of Finger Nails.
Ladies' Home Journal,


Soft white hands are always one of
the principal points of refined ap-
pearance, and for that reason women
of all ages have most carefully attend
ed to their hands. The care OF the
hands cannot be said to be neglected
nowadays, when so many persons en-
ploy the manicure, who scrapes the
nails and makes them of a lovely
pink, pushes back the skin from the
little white half-moons at the base,
cuts the nails in crescent which ex.
actly follows the outline of the hall
moons, and ends by washing the hands
in preparation that makes them
both smooth and white; temporarily
If not permanently. The hands look
extremely we'll after the manicure's
task has been finished, although Eras.
mus Wilson says that the nails should
never he scraped nor cleaned with any
instrument save the nail brush. The
only other mp lement needed is the
small ivory presser.

standard and imperialism, joining
with the West and the South in Il
fight for the whole people against the
privileged few, will find welcome to
the ranks again.
Yes, cordial fellowship with those
who have enlisted for the second great
battle against entrenched greed and
in favor of the justice and liberty
upon which our institutions are
founded-freedom of speech, freedom
of the press, freedom OF conscience,
the preservation OF personal rights,
the equality of all citizens before the
law, special privileges to none, and
the right OF every man to earn 4 liv-
ing.
Again we say that availability cuts
no figure in this question, for any
man whose availability must be con-
sidered, is thereby unavailable, and
only the man who can and does repre-
sent these principles will be nomi-

What Posterity is to Miss.
New York Tribune.
Have you noticed" said the pale
mathematician, chow much easier it
is going to be, after this year, 10 write
the number of the year in Roman
numerals"
What do | want to write the
number of the year in Roman num-
erals for?" said the ruddy business
man.
Maybe you DON'T" the pale mathe.
maticisn answered, "but notice the
difference. In Arabic figures it has
taken just four figures to write the
number of the year ever since the
year 1000, and it will take no more
till the year 9,999. But in Roman
numerals the year 1000 was written
with single NJ We shall never
get back to one letter again. Now
for this year it takes nine letters,
'MDCCCXCIX.' And think of 1888,
which we can easily remember. Then
it took thirteen letters, MDCCCLXX.
XVIII That was the hardest year
to write of the whole Christian era
thus far.
"But next year, 1900, it will drop
right down to three figures, 'MCM,'
and hundred and one years hence it
will 60 to two letters, NM And
how long do you think it will be be-
fore another year comes as hard to
write as 1887"
"I don't know" said the ruddy busi-
ness man, absently. He was wonder.
ing whether he could turn the crank
of the messenger call to the word
" Police" without being noticed.
"Not till the year 1885," said the
pale mathematician. "That will be
written in Romans 'MMCCCLXXX-
VIII'-thirteen letters again."
The ruddy business man was getting
more and more uneasy, "And what
what OF it?" he said.
"Why, only think" said the pale
mathematician, show many genera
tious Of our descendants will never see
a year so short to write as 1900, and
how many and many more will never
see a year so long to write as was
1885,"
"And what-what of that?" said
the ruddy business man.
"Nothing, l suppose" said the pale
mathematician, "only those things al.
ways impress me-"

Our Sailors of Deer Isle.

The builders laid Columbias keel with zeal
GUS hope and pride;
And careful hands toiled patiently to mold
her graceful side;
And every curve and every swell and every
sweeping line
Bespea2s the yachtman's earnest art and
triumph OF design.
And they who wrought the masts OF steel
and they who sewed the sails
That stretch aloft-white, pleading hands,to
clutch the favoring gales,
They all have given hearts and hands with
patriotic ZEAL
And there she sways, the nations pride,
from pennant down to keel.
And unto all who gave her strength and SYM
metry and speed
We pay the tribute from the Joy that watch
ed her keep the lead.
And yet despite the builders skill we know
that art were vain
Without the nimble hands and feet of those
Drowned sons of Maine,
And while We bask triumphantly in Uncle
Samue's smile
We know who really won the race-the sail
ors of Deer Isle.
Sir Thomas has gallant crew, a canny crew
has he,
AS bold and brisk a set of lads as ever went
to sea;
But on this queer old coast of Maine the
allor-men we breed
Fuihl the motto of the State and make their
plans TO lead.
For he whose craft has sluggish heels is
tardy with the trawl
And woe to him who cometh late to market
with his haul,
So every day the race is on from York to
Quoddy Head
And every day to catfish squalls the little
sails are spread.
For, swiring past this jagged coast the
winds tickle girl
With here sigh and there shrek and
here coquet's whirl
And he who watches all her moods, antici-
pates her whims,
Is pretty apt to coax the speed from any
thing that sWmS.
And we in Maine who know the men place
credit wherr it's due,
Here's Hail Columbia three times three,
and twice that for the crew,
And if the news from Sandy Hook provokes
cheerful smile,
| Remember those who do the trick-the sail
ors of Deer Isle.

Love is immortal. If die
Before you, dear, and over me
The clover blossoms WOO the bee,
And little violets, sweet and shy,
Peer through the grass above my face
To smile at you when you come near,
Lean down and listen-ycu will hear
A whisper stirring in the place.
And in that whisper you will know
The voice you loved so well of Old
Striving to tell the love untold;
And as your footsteps come and 20
About your tasks the whole day through
Loves message, whispered by the flow

Will fill with gadness all the hours,
For you will know l think of you.
For well | know that love would thrill
My heart of dust, if | We're dead,
And you came to my grave and said,
Dear heart, do you remember stlll"'
And " heu | felt the subtle stir
OF love that dies not, | would make
