When presumably capable women give up
housekeeping and betake themselves to
boarding because they cannot get servants
or manage them; when mistresses are pal
pably afraid of their cooks. and unable to
prevent waste and even dishonesty in the
kitchens which they hesitate TO enter, al
though they are their own; when half the
references given are not truthful, or at
least misleading; when intelligence offices
are the last places where an intelligent
woman expects TO get satisfactory servants;
when wages grow higher while work grows
ever more grudging and careless, and when
six months is the average limit OF a serv-

the sunragists assert that the feminine vote
would straighten out all the perplexities

If a woman cannot rule one servant or

why You Yawn.

Have you ever observed at theater
or concert that the people who are most
deeply interested appear between the
acts TO be quite weary OF the whole
thing, yawning half dozen times in
successionr The reason of this is a
physiological one. When your attention
is much absorbed in anything exciting
or touching, you breathe in a very shall
low manner and take into your lungs
only half enough air. Consequently
when your attention is relaxed, you
have to make up the deficiency. This
you do by yawning, which, after all. is
only breathing a very deep breath.
If you watch q man at play and
observe that he is greatly moved by
some incident, you may feel sure that
when the scene ends he will sigh and a
moment or two later yawn repeatedly.
OF course the yawning, so far from be-
ing sign of WEAKNESS, is a proof Of
the liveliest appreciation.
Very often you will observe the same
phenomenon in girl reading a novel.
And by her yawns you can tell when
the end of some absorbing incident is
reached. Cincinnati Enquirer.

The RushIipht.

Home manufactured flashlights and
candles were in constant use by the
Scotch peasantry. Boiled animal fat
gave the required tallow. and the same
green rushes az were used for cruisie
wick supplied il also in this case.
In making flashlights all the green
coating of these rushes was stripped
off. but for candle wick thin strip
was left on either side of the pith to
strengthen and support it, Otherwise
the manufacture of these two lights
was very similar. This substance from
the rushes when dried was tied to a
rod, then dipped into the boiling fat
and allowed to cool. and this process
was repeated until the rushlight, OF
candle, had become the desired thick
ness In later years candles were made
in molds. The tape was passed through
hole in the center of the mold and
knotted to prevent it slipping. The fat
was then poured in and allowed to
cool.
These molds, during the days of the
candle tax. were jealousy guarded by
the owners and hidden in the most
secret corners from the prying eyes OF
the exciseman. The candles were usual
ly made at night in some clubhouse. and
watchers were posted at convenient
corners to give timely warning of any
approach of the ubiquitous officer. -

BATTLE WITH SHARKS.
A Desperate Encounter In which
Two Man Eaters Were Slain.

Probably the most desperate fight
which has ever been witnessed between
a couple of sharks and human being
took place at Havana some time ago.
Several fruit peddlers had boarded a
large mailboat, and among them was
swarthy, bare legged young chap noted
among his comrades as a clever swim
mer. The purser of the vessel was stand
ing by the gangway. holding his child
in his arms. watching a couple Of sharks
that were hanging about the ship. Ac-
cidentally the child fell out of its ia
Their grasp into the water The father
Immediately jumped overheard and
seized his child, and in a moment the
sharks were making for the pair.
Seeing the predicament, the bare leg
ged young buccaneer dropped his fruit
basket and went over the rail like a
flash.
As the first shark turned on its back
the invariable prelude to biting its
victim-the young fruit seller rose to
the surface, and with a long keen
edged knife, fairly disemboweled it.
The other was not nearly SO easily
disposed Of The shark seemed to real
iZe that in the fruit seller he had a
dangerous foe and apparently spared
for an opening Several men on board
the vessel blazed away at the monster
with revolvers. but the young fellow
begged the men to desist, being I'M
nerved by the firing. Fish and man
dived alternately. and when the fish did
make for its foe the plucky boy dived
and plunged the knife in its side.
The water was crimson with blood
when the three were hauled safe and
sound to the deck of the vessel and a
handsome sum of money was collected
for the victor.
