WOMEN BEHAVE WELL.
.how Courage when Coopeb Up In
Cities That Are Dcsisged Ina
Time Of War.

The lessons of even the most re-
cent history show that, once they
have got over the first shock of sur
prise, the women in besieged cities
take even less account of the mis-
siles of the invaders than do seasoned
soldiers. who, of course, have SUI
perior knowledge OF the possibilities
of injury.
just as the ladies have been seen
walking along and chattering togcth-
er in the principal street of LAZY
smith, so have they done in the same
circumstances from time immemorial;
and. beyond this, one of the strang-
est lessons of history is chat nearly
all the most hopeless and desperate
defenses of cities on record have beer
those in which women shared 1T
would be idle to ignore the moral in
fluence in such cases; but, beyond
this. certain defenses would have
been utterly impossible had not the
women virtually acted as soldiers,
charging and cleaning the guns, hand
ing up ammunition, acting as look
out" sentinels, tending the wounded,
ard encouraging officers and men
alike. There have been scores of
cases where the women were not con-
tent with loading the guns, but fired
them, and did the business well, be-
sides. At Badajoz, Spain, several par
ties of women made the most desper-
ate stand in squares. and when they
were beaten back into the houses had
TO be dslodged at considerable loss,

even through the boarding of the
floors. If ever woman has shown to
what emergencies she can rise with
nerve of steel, it has been in famous

This Anecdote illustrates the Erer-
vescence of His HumOr on
All Occasions.

Wherever and whenever Jack has
been permitted to join in the work Of
the army he has made his mark so deep
ly that he has come to be looked upon
as indispensable, invincible, says the
London Spectator. His effervesce Mt hui
NOR never seems to desert him, as the
following anecdote, told the writer re-
Gently, fairly well illustrates: 1t was
at Gingihlovo, and the naval brigade
was face to face with an apparently
overwhelming force of Zulus, numbers
of whom were armed with rifles. The
sailors were reserving their fire, only
sending an occasional yolley when a
favorable opportunity presented itself.
Forth from the Zulu host stepped war
rlor laden with an ancient firearm,
which he calmly mounted upon a tripod
in the open. while The sailors looked on
admring his pluck, but wondering
much what he was proposing to do. At
last one joyial tar suggested that their
photographs were going to be taken,
and. by common consent, no shots were
sent at the supposed photogra pher.

Weir then collected the pollen of these

whether it would affect man in the

he gathered the blossoms, distilled
them in water and administered a

Almost Immediately the pulse was ac-

to the discovery of an oil in these
plants, affecting man and insect alike.

CAPTIVE FOX CUBS.
The shnrD-NOsed Youngsters Tool
Kindly to PettinG, But Refused
TO Learn Tricks.

They were delightful and amusing
creatures, their ears ever alert, their
bright eyes always on the lookout,
and their sharp little noses shifting the
air eagerly, says Our Animal Friends.
SO precisely alike were they, from tip
of nose to tip of tail, that not even their
owners could tell the one from the
and fondling, but firmly though gen.
tly refused to learn any tricks whatso-
ever. Very soon they had the run of
the whole house; patter, patter went
the little feet; scratch, rap, rap, if a
door were shut, and the two bright
long for admittance. The next step
was to the lounge or bed. where they
cuddled close among the soft pillows
with great satisfaction. If ever dis
lodged, they protested vigorously with
tooth and claws, and sharp little bark
that said as plain as words, No, no, no.
Alas, even baby foxes cannot always
stay babies. Box and Cox were with
out doubt growing, and their powers
of mischief grew also. A breakfast
of young chickc. without as much as
by your leave, madam was the eli
max of long succession of misdeeds.
They were restored to their native
peaks, where they could find q warm
and sheltered burrow. and as foxes eat
field mice, grasshoppers and crickets
they were in no danger of starving.

PASTEBOARD ROOFING.
In Japan Paper Ii Preferred TO Sheet
Iron ms = Protection Against
the Sun.

The Japanese Times states that the
Tokyo Card and Pasteboard company,
the largest in it's line in Japan, is now
making thick, tarred pastebOsrd as
a substitute for shingles in roofing.
The paper shingles are in active de-
mand, being about so per cent. cheaper
and more easily managed than the
wooden article. The Indian Textile
Journal, commenting Oh the above,
says that il is doubtful If Japan is as
well off for vegetable fbrous ma
terials as India, but Japan is enormous
ly in advance of India in the knowl-
edge of paper-making and in utilizing
its natural resources.
What is required for the production
of cardboard is supply of coarse fibers
and cement to hold it together. In
dia lacks neither of these. although
they have not yet received sufficient
attention. Waste sugar cane produces
fiber eminently suited for cardboar
making, and the contained sugar is
an ingredient that could be fixed
chemically as q cement The milk of
the cactus, so common among railway
fences, contains a gum that has been
used for closing letters. An antiseptic
would be required to arrest fermenta-
ton in many fbers; but the substances
used in size preparation are well known
and easily procurable in India. The
uses of strong and well made cardboard
are so numerous as to offer strong
inducement to the manufacturer
They include boxes. panels. partitions.
roofing, ceilings. bookboards and ad-
vertisement cards of all sizes. The
tarred cardboard would not suit On n
roof in India on account Of it's DISPOSE
ton to heat in the sun and soften. II
would also require TO be prepared with
pitch of a very high melting point to
stand even the shade temperature.
4 paper roof would be far Superior
to sheet iron as protection against
the sun, and paper panels with an em-
bossed device on them would offer a
very neat, light and substantial filing
rs panels for screens.

BUTTED EVERYWHERE.
The Mucb-Despised Goat Has Been
known Since the beginning
of History.

The common or domestic goat was
originally native of the highlands
of Asia Naturalists generally regard
it as having descended from an animal
found in the Caucasus mountains
aud the hill country of Persia, called
IN the Persian language the pesang.
is legs arc longer than those of the
common goat and its horns are very
much longer. The common goat has
existed as domestic animal in
oriental countries from the very ear
Hest times From there ii spread all
over the world, manifesting Il remark
able adaptability TO climate and cir
cumstances. In this diversity of sur
roundings great diversity of breeds
has appeared, such as the Angora
goat, the Syrian goat, the Cashmere
goat. the Guinea goat of Africa, and
many others. No quadruped, except
the dog, has shown such susceptible
ty of variation. These differences
show most markedly in the quality
and quantity of the hair and In the
relative abundance of the two coats,
the long silky outer covering aud the
softer woody hair beneath it.
Among the Greeks and Romans, the
goat was sacrificed To Bacchns be-
cause OF its tendency to injure grape
vines by eating the young tendrils
and leaves. All the species of goats
are natives of the old world. The
Rocky Mountain goat, so-called, OF
North America, really belongs TO the
antelope family.

TOWN SOLD OVER AND OVER.
People Pay No Taxes and Are In n
Quandary over the PuzxIing
situation.

SomerviIlc, Me-, is in queer plight,
says the Boston Herald. Farms have
been sold for delinquent taxes and the
property has been sold in this way
again and again. No one will serve
the town as collector and even the
sheriff of the county cannot make the
people pay their taxes. This bank
apt town has valuation of 500, 500,
md owes about 100000, which isshalf
tie town is worth on "A liberal yalua-
ton. Most of the town debt is in the
shape OF bonds, on which the interest
has not been paid for some time.
When some years ago, the people
in the town got discouraged and gave
up paying taxes. the usual course of
advertising and selling the property
At auction was pursued. But, and
this lends humorous feature to the
case, the inhabitants of the town bid
in the property. And then, as the
years have gone by. the property has
regularly been sold and as regularly
bid in by the inhabitants. So all the
property has been sold over and over
again TO pay the taxes, and now all
the farms and the real estate in the
place stand thus:
1t has been bought in at nominal
sums by the inhabitants of the town
and therefore the people are where
they started from. in reality. They
have raised no money by these opera
tons. IT will puzzle a Philadelphia
lawyer to untangle and set in shape
the affairs of the town, mixed up as
they have been by this remarkable
rotation of auctions and sales.
