Only Snnhurned.

Last summer two little girls in n
College avenue family were repeatedly
demonstrated with by their indulgent
mother for playing bareheaded in the
sun. You will be burned so badly"
said she to- them finally. that people
will think you are black children" Her
warning had little effect, however, and
she gave up trying to keep their hats
on.
One day. she sent them to n neighbor
block or so distant to make some in
quiries concerning n washwoman. Mrs.
s., the neighbor in question. mistook
them for the children of a Mrs. Black
who lived in another street nearby.
You are the little Black children,
are you not?" she asked.
"Oh, no." came the prompt response
from the elder. "Only sunburned." -

Bernhardt ON American women.

Sarah Bernhardt has given her Opin-
ions on the American women TO an in
terviewer whom she saw between the
acts of ''L'AiglOn" at the Theatre de Ia
Monnaie at Brussels the other even
ing. Some of her assertions are far
from the truth, but they are interest
ing nevertheless. The great TRACE
dienne is entirely favorable TO the
transatlantic method of female educa-
ton. Il find tie American women far
superior TO our women" she said.
1.-The American woman leads a very
different life-a life Of which we have
no idea in France The sexes have alb
solutely distinct and separate spheres
OF life. The woman is an intellectual
being in the widest sense of the word.
Her husband works for her at his
workshop, factory or office from q
o'clock in the morning to o'clock in
the evening, while the wife is at her
club or engaged in sports, literature,
science. music or art. In America
home scarcely exists. People live in
hotels or employ housekeepers. The
American woman is pretty and dresses
in good taste. She marries as late as
possible, and that is easy to under
stand, rs she enjoys absolute freedom.
and. what is more, the laws are all in
her favor. In Europe girls have only
one object i'm life, and that is TO escape
from the family hearth and get mar
ried. In America they are in no hurry
TO enter the bonds of matrimOny be-
cause TO them marriage brings an obli-
cation from which the unmarried are
free" To sum up, Mime. Bernhardt is
convinced of the tremendous superb
ority of the American woman over her
French sister

Lincoln. swear word.

One story that is told of Lincoln re-
lates to that extreme. correctively crit
zeal attitude which Secretary Seward
always maintained toward the presi-
dent.
Mr.. Lincoln and the secretary had
managed to escape from man who
had been boring them, and as they
reached the house the president threw
himself into an armchair and eX-
claimed:
by jings. governor, we are here"
Mr. Seward replied by asking in a
rcprovinG tone:
Mr.. President. where did you learn
that inelcgant eXpression?'
MIR. Lincoln Immediately turned to
several young men who had entered
the room in time TO hear the exclama-
ton and said:
Young gentlemen. excuse me for
swearing before you. BY jings' is
swearing, for my good old mother
taught me that anything that had a
by before it is swearing. I won't do
so any more."-Youth's Companion. ,

Wonderful stones.

The brain of the tortoise was suppos-
ed TO contain n wonderful stone which
was efficacious i'm extinguishing fire
and when placed under the tongue
would produce prophetic inspiration.
Another stone possessing the latter
property was TO be found in the eye of
the hyena. The head of the cat. how
ever. was thought to contain what
would Undoubtedly have been the most
wonderful and most desirable treasure
of all could it have only had a real in
stead of an imaginary existence, for
that man who was so fortunate as TO
possess this precious stone would have
all his wishes granted. - Chambers

ON THEIR SEA LEGS.
Cattle and Horses Do Not Get Fright
ened In Rough Weather.

Cattle and Horses Do Not Get Fright
ened In Rough Weather.
do the horses and cattle get fright
ened and make much disturbance in
rough weather." asked the writer Of
a New York dealer who ships cattle
abroad.
BLESS you. no. They've got sea legs
that would put an old salt to shame.
Occasionally horse will lose his bal
lance, but bullock is the greatest bal
ANGER you ever saw. They are knowing
brutes too. You know, we put them
four in u pen. Well, you'll never find
all four standing up or lying down at
one time. They figure the thing out
and decide how they'll get the most
room and most comfort. So two of
them stand up while two lie down.
When they get tired, they shift the
watch.
THE horses like to be talked to when
there's a big sea on and things are
pretty lively. They always like GER
tain men better than others. So do
the cattle. We have one man who can
do anything with them. Every bull
lock and horse on the boat knows him
by the time we've been out two days.
He comes in handy when there's an
accident
Its mighty seldom that a serious
accident happens nowadays, but once
I'm awhile n horse or n bullock does
get thrown and breaks n leg or does
some bad damage. We don't carry a
veterinary. The men know as much
about ordinary cattle and horse all
ments as any vet, and If one of the
brutes breaks his leg there's nothing
for IL but TO kill him. A veterinary
couldn't do anything for him.
The company charges from Sc to
$50 a head for carrying cattle and
from S2T to $3.50 a head for horses.
When the government inspectors stop
ped overcrowding, they cut down the
carrying capacity of some boats 40
head. That made a pretty big hole in
the ships profits in the course of n
year."-EXcEange. 4

women Guide. In Europe.

For the guidance of the women of
Chicago who propose to visit Europe
during the summer a journal of that
city publishes the following piece of
advice and information:
The Chicago woman who contem-
plates a trip TO London this summer
would do we'll TO remember that one in
stitution i'm the British capital is Of
special value TO the visiting stranger.
Reference is made TO the women
guides, whose express purpose is TO
supply women tourists with members
OF their own sex To pilot them safely
over the popular tours Of England and
the British isles-in fact, over any part
Of the continent OF Europe into which
the tourist may wish to penetrate.
These guides are women of culture and
must speak French. German and Eng
lish. else their applications for these
rather agreeable berths will not be con-
sidered. They tip the servants. pay the
cabby, point ont the distinguished peo-
pie met on the drives or promenades
and comment intelligently upon all
places of interest as these come into
view, with which they must be famil-
lar. They must also he thoroughly 'au
courant with the gossip of the town,
must accompany their patronesses TO
the concert or the theater If desired.
They are expected TO work six hours
daily. and they receive but 10 shillings
per diem, equivalent to about $3.50 of
American money. for which small sum
they save the traveller every possible
annoyance. They are always trust
worthy, sober. obliging, frequently bril-
liant and interesting companionS"

Let me tell how rhythm with its rhyme shouid
flow:
AZ the laugh of leaves when soft zephyrs blow;
As the waves with grscile hand Z
Write their names upon the sand.
Let me tell how music with its verse should mate
As the dark with dawn, rapt, inviolate;
As the soil and sun disclose
Sweet communion in a rose

As the cloud full fraught rises from the deep;
As the spring at Gods behest
Wakes, and 10, the world is blest!

the many distressing symptoms fol-
lowing in its train and indicating pre-
mature decline of the so called physi-
cal, mental, sexual powers are totally

DR.. FISK COMMENDED.
His Church Passes Very Favor
able Resolutions.

A meeting of the members of the
First Congregational church was held
last night, and resolutions were passed
indorsing the Rev D. NJ. Fisk, whose
resignation as pastor of the church was
received at recent meeting.
Speaking of the resolutions, DIR. Fisk
says today: 4 did not consider it
passed. There is no schism in the
church, and no trouble of any conse-
quence- In every church there is more
or less of a conflict between two ele-
ments, the conservatives and progress
ives. The same is true of every organi-
cation, and of society itself. But the
fact that these elements exist does not
mean that there is difficulty or ami
mostly"
The committee which prepared the
resolutions was composed of S. l..
Leayitt, l.. H. Greenwood, Fl. L. Shirer
and E. C. Fox. The resolutions follow
Whereas. The Rev. d. NJ. Fisk has
resigned the pastorate of the First Con-
gregational church of Topeka; and
Whereas, The resignat ton of DIR. Fisk
has been accepted by said church and
society: therefore be it
Resolved That we profoundly regret
that DR. Fisk has seen fit to sever his
relations as pastor of our church, thus
depriving us of his valuable services:
and we also further regret that this
community should be deprived of the
unlifting influence he has exerted in our
city, through the beautiful Christian
life he has lived and exemplified since
he came to us. We fully believe he has
had the welfare of this church and peo-
pie truly at heart, and has used his best
endeavor for the upbuilding of this
church into a higher, purer and holier
churchhood, and We rejoice to know
that through his kind~wordS and Chris
tan advice many have been led to seek
after Christ and take Him into their
hearts as their Savior. His eloquence,
learning and intellectual endowments
Will not only be missed by our church
and society, but by this entire COM
munity However, there is consolat ton
in knowing that DR.. Fisk and his much
esteemed wife are to remain in Topeka
and will retain their membership in our
church; and the source of another con-
ISOLATION is, that our loss will be great
gain to our Washburn college, and the
state through which he is to travel
We heartily congratulate Washburn
college in obtaining the services of so
able, experienced and broad-minded a
helper. His advanced educational ideas,
which are so near and dear to his
of Washburn throughout the entire
state
May Gods choicest blessings rest
upon him and his family. and follow
him wherever duty calls.''
The selection of a successor to DR..
Fisk is in the hands of the deacons of
the church. No special committee for
this purpose was appointed, under Con-
gregational customs. 1t is stated that
the selection of a new minister. DR..
Fisk states that he is very anxious for
the selection to be made soon, so that
he can begin on his new work.

Philippines by Secretary Root to make
an investigation of and report upon the
monetary situation in the islands The

THE BURIED HYPNOTIST.
Hundreds See Athena in His Shallow
Kansas City Grave.

Kansas City. Nov. 22.-Atheno, the
man who claims to be hypnotist, is
resting in apparent comfort in his
shallow grave at Eleventh and Wyan-
dotte streets. This is the fourth day
of his buried life. He will be dug up
and rubbed down to get the dampness
out of his joints next Saturday night
at 8 o'clock. The public will witness
the resurrection. That is, so much of it
as will pay the price. Hundreds of peo-
pie go in and look down at the man in
the coffin below. Athena will come out
of the hole about 81. 900 to the good,
basing the final reckoning on the re
turns to date
People of all sorts go to see Athena.
They stand in line and take turns at
looking down the shaft A policeman
holds the watch on them and tells them
when they have looked the limit. Occa-
sionally he looks down into the hole
himself. Athena appears to be asleep.
He has not changed his position, SO far
as anyone knows, since he was buried.
