A snperstitious Man.

An American millionaire who has a
palace at Venice is more superstitious
than his countrymen usually are. On
Thanksgiving Day he invited a party
of friends, including a Roman prince,
one of the Queen Of Italy's maids of
honor, and various sprigs of the Italian
aristocracy. The Roman prince, how
ever, failed him at the last moment.
and the host refused to sit down to
dinner on finding that the company
consisted of thirteen persons He made
various fruitless attempts to secure an
other guest. and at last, in despair. he
announced that he intended to follow
the custom of the Arabs, who always
wait upon their guests, and eat their
own dinners by themselves afterward.
The meal proved great success

Life on a Tornedo Roaf.

So injurious is life ON a torpedo boat
that years continuous service will
mentally and physically incapacitate a
man. This assertion is made on the
authority of Lord Charles Beresford,
but that the strain on anyone serving
on these crafts is very great is shown
by the fact that to one months service
the British naval regulations allow one
week off. Austria is endeavoring to
mitigate the hardship of service on
these boats, and life on one built for
the Austrian navy, and tried on the
Thames recently, was demonstrated to
be pleasanter than on those of the Eng
fish navy.

WOMEN PIANO TUNERS
ssw Field Of Labor Which Does Nea
Require Much Exertion.


Require Much Exertion.
I have been pondering the problem
Of feminine money making oeeupe-
lions. and among the unexplored fields
! believe piano tuning TO be just the
thing for musical women, for ii is
generally conceded that woman's ear
is finer than mans. although one
musician Of my acquaintance taxes ex-
ception to the statement. However, l
say to him that fewer women than
men sing eff the key and play out of
tune. Piano tuning is not hard work
that Is, it does not require any amount
of physical exertion. It does require
correct ear, a knowledge of music and
a degree of skill which can be acquired
from teacher in the tuning line like
any other trade. There are many
houses where a feminine tuner would
be preferred to a man. and not the
least reason why the compensation to
both sexes should not be equal. It is
one of the few fields where the COM
petition is even. 1t disturbs me grea .ly

work. Often the woman has family
dependent upon her, and while the
man has nobody in the world on whom
to spend his money, yet her sex, not
her ability, debars her from earning

adjoins hers. l am rather lukewarm

sex has great many privileges, more
than is good for us sometimes There
are few things in which I could wish

employers interest ought to receive

to a male employee with those same ex-
