She Rules.

Whether the average man knows it
or not, or admits it or not, it is held
that he is absolutely under the con-
troll and guidance, either directly or
indirectly. of some woman. If he
happens to be young man all of his
energies are directed toward securing
the partnership of some young woman
who will exercise despotic rule over
his future. If he happens to be a
married man, he will scarcely take
any important step or begin any i'm
portant enterprise without consulting
his wife.
1t is held by deep students of this
question that the more assured mar
ried man feels in his independence,
the more certain it is that he is slave
to the opinions, the prejudices and
the dictations of his wife. These care
full and earnest observers of the rela-
tions between man and woman insist
that not only does many wife aid
her husband by determining for him
how he shall vote, but that, if she is
interested in political questions. she
is not content until she influences the
wives of other men, who in turn in
huence their husbands. The women
of this country, more than the women
of any other country, know their own
minds and have their way oftener than
even their husbands suspect. In fact,
the clever wife manages her husband
so as to leave the conviction in his
mind that he is managing himself.

need, and what more ought she to
want?-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Animal ChivLlry.

No self-respecting dog will bite a
female, except in the EXTREMIST need
of self-defense; though the female, as
rule, has no scruple whatever about
Furnishing, to the full extent Of her
power, an individual Of the opposite
sex that happens to be inferior to her
in size or strength. So strong is this
unwillingness to strike female that
few male hounds will attack she-woIf
or even follow her trail.
Something of the same Difference to
the gentler sex may be seen among
horses. Although a horse will
promptly attack any other horse that
may interfere with him, either in the
field or in harness, he will very sell
dom attack a mare. Farm horses,
which cannot be worked alongside of
any other horse on account of their
savage tempers, may be safely yoked
in double harness with mare. Mares,
on the other hand, will attack their
own or the opposite sex without the
slightest hesitation whenever they
feel disposed, yet I have never seen
serious or retaliatory resistance Of
fered by the latter. Contemporary

I.nnisianats Moss Industry.

One Of the interesting industries Of
New Orleans is the manufacture Of
moss, vegetable hair for upholstery
purposes. 1t has been carried on for
some years down there with success,
but during the past two or three years
the manufacturers have branches out
considerably, and their wares are now
finding sale in all parts OF the United
States, aud some of tits being shipped
to Canada. The cypress trees and
water oaks of Louisiana las all travel
ers know who have been through that
country are beautifully draped with
a natural gray moss. Before the moss
is marketable it is necessary to elm
mate all the spores and impurities.
Some of the moss gatherers do this
by boiling the stuff, and others bury
it in the ground for some weeks,
thereby rotting the gray covering of.
The moss is then carefully washed aud
passed through special form of gin.
from which it comes clean and elastic
and formidable rival of curled hair.

Pawter AGAIN in Fashion.

There is fashion for pewter just
aow: pewter made into all the knick-
inackery that we have for the past
few years been seeing in silver. There
is about pewter softness and plia-
oility which make it a fascinating ma
erial with which to model, and, there
ore, besides its use for small pieces,
lrtists are working out some of their
pest designs in it. In fact, reduced
igures from life and after the antique
.re being exhibited, along with those
If bronze and plaster. Smaller pieces,
happily within reach Of many are bon
oonieres, trays and ash receivers,
mugs, plates and snail figures. All
If these are presented IN innumerable
shapes and designs. !
Collectors Of mugs are being made
happy by this revival of the use of
pewter, and little short of madness
is about regarding the number and
rarity of those seen at informal even
ing parties, OF at other times decora!-
ing the side walls Of dining rooms.
The plates also are mostly seen as
wall decorations and produce stun
hing effect when well hung against q
brilliant background.
It is not difficult to keep these
pewter ornaments clean. A good
rubbing with chamois every fortnight
is all that is necessary. 1t is not de-
;irable for them to have the shining
Ilster Of silver; tie tones OF pewter
should be soft and gray.

Or it may be steamed and served with
sugar or marshmallows sauce.
A child's ears should never be
"boxed;" the sudden conclusion OF
air may rupture the drum Of the ear
and cause permanent deafness.
A lotion which is designed to keep
the complexion clear and free from

married to the Usage chief, Chepo-
kenah, or "Deaf Man." He was good
to her, and she remained with him
through a long life.
She remembered the wars of the In
dians against General Wayne and Gen
eral Harrison, and in both her sym
pathies were with the Indians. After
the last war her husband and his peo-
pie settled on the MississineYa, at
place called Deaf Mans Village.
To this place in 1S35-ffty-se7en
years after Frances had been carried
away from the Wyoming Valley
there came one night trader named
George Ewing; belated Oh the road,
he sought nights lodging. The old
chief took him into his cabin. The
chiefs wife busted herself about the
room, and as the trader waited for his
supper he watched her. He noticed
that she looked like a white woman.
Once she raised her arms for some
thing; her loose sleeves fell away, re-
Yealing arms that were suspiciously
white.
The trader could speak the italian
tongue, and as she made no response
when he addressed her in English,
he questioned her in that language.
She admitted that she was white
woman, and had been stolen in her
girlhood. She remembered her name,
and the names of her father and
mother, as well as that of the place
from which she had been taken.
81 Ewing, much interested, wrote to
the Postmaster OF Wilkesbarre, asking
If there were any people of the name
of Slocum still living in that vicinity.
It took two years for his letter to fall
into the hands of Frances's surviving
relatives, but at last it reached them
In due time her brother and sisters
came to her cabin. An affecting inter
view took place between her and
them, and they were instantly salts
fed that she was indeed their long
lost sister. They implored her to go
home with them, but she refused.
"I am DID," she said, ''and have
lived all my life with these people.
They are my people. love my hus-
band, and AM happy with him
She even refused to so with them
as far as the neighboring town OF
Peru, apparently suspecting a trap.
They went away sorrowful. Not long
afterward her husband died. Her
relatives came again, once more i'm
ploring her to go home with them to
Pennsylvania. But now she declared
that she could not leave her bones
elsewhere than by the side of her
husbands. She lived there until 1917,
when she died.
Her story is often told il Indiana,
and the monument to her memory
will be not only reminder Of q
romantic history, but the memorial OF
q woman who was steadfastly faith,
full to people who had won her love
as well as her loyalty.

the prairie chicken blooms" the tnr
key struts, the nighthawk booms'
and performs fanciful aerial eVolu
tions. All this is done as an express
sion of wooing. The most common
form of courtship, however, is song.
which is of two sorts, instrumental, as
the wing beating of the nighthawk, OF
vocal, as the music of the thrush OF
nightingale. Song power of birds is
due to the number and attachment oi
the muscles of the larynx.
sBirds are great mimics. The song
of the marsh wren bears resemblance
TO the gurgle of ripping water. The
red-headed wookpecker reproduces
the noise of the wood toad. In South
America one bird initiates exactly the
crackle of the limbs of the forest in
which ne lives.
"Blrds have far greater vocabula,

thought to have a limited vocal range,

different sound. Call notes are uttered

to sing their call better than they
could. A red-winged blackbird reared
in company with a rooster learned to
crow. 1t is proper to suppose that
the calls of our birds are older than
the birds themselves; yet the calls
are made true to the type in every
cline. Thus fifty or sixty kind of
orioles scattered throughout the globe
sing the same song. Song is an ex-
preston Of the intense vitality of the
nesting season. Thus we have a
season of song. When the eggs are
laid the English nightingale ceases
to sing. Other birds stop when the
eggs are Matched and others when the
young leave the nest.

to photograph nests as they actually
are, something which textbooks have
