United States when the national vice of

abolition OF this offensive custom, yet,

everything against 1t. It is one Of tho hard
est social evils to combat. Even now that

sion Of personal liberty. There is still much
work to do in the case, but with the ad-
vantage at stake, the missionary efforts by
law, reason and persuasion, should be con-
tinued till the desired result Is attained. A
beginning might be made In the schools
and the habit nipped In the bud.

Dog Saved Kittens Life.

A man servant in family in Eng
land some time ago took kitten to a
pond, with the intention of drowning
it. His masters dog went with him,
and when the kitten was thrown into
the water the dog sprang In and
brought it back to land. A second
time the man threw it in, and again
the dog rescued it; and when for the
third time the servant tried to drown
it, the dog, as resolute to save the lit
tie helpless life as the man was to de-
stroy it, swan with it to the other side
of the pool, ran all the way home with
it, and deposited it before the kitchen
fire. From that time the dog kept con-
slant watch over the kitten. The two
were inseparable, even sharing the
same bed.

tory than the old-time throbs and

tory than the old-time throbs and
thrills.
He had fallen into the habit of
bringing his work into her Office,
which adjoined his. Each one of them
was doing literary work Independent
of that which they furnished their
magazine, and each found the others
suggestions and criticisms helpful and
inspiring. She wondered why her
stories took on such strength and vi
tally after she chad talked them
over" with him-he developed new
possibilities of grace and beauty I'M
der her discerning criticism.
Thus it was that the idea of colabor-
ating with her took hold of him and
found expression in the question with
which this story begins.
But you'd want the characters all
to do your way" she suggested. "You
would never consent, / feel sure, to
let your people give way the least
bit to mine."
"You don't know how complacent I
and my people can be upon occasion"
he expostulated. Lets try one story,
anyway, and, if we are not pleased
with the result, why, the firm can dis
solve without further notice. Such
things have been DONE" he concluded
with look that caused a warm flush
to mount her brow. She affected not
to notice his covert sarcasm and said:
Every good, you shall create the
&Io oil to
woman's man to be utterly impossible.
And am to have absolute sway where
the women are concerned"
So the story was begun. Plot and
style were agreed upon, but the de-
tails Of the story were to unfold and
develop themselves as it progressed.
The interest was to hinge upon the
love of two men for one woman; and
Mrs. Martineau reserved the right to
let the heroine accept or reject at the
last moment.
II don't know what sort Of creatures
you are going to make of your men,"
she protested, "and can't pledge my
self that my heroine will accept them.
If you make them do things that my
Judgment condemns, she must reject
them"
At first the story progressed beauti-
fully. She drew her heroine with
firm, true hand, putting SO much of
the charm and magnetism Of her own
personality into her that Raymond
said it was the easiest thing in the
world for him to make his men love
her-that he was more than half in
love with her himself. Something in
his manner suggested the question
whether he meant the heroine of Mrs.
Martineau's story or the heroine of
mine. But let that pass. When things
began to draw to climax, the trouble
began. He had painted one of his
heroes a handsome, daredevil fellow,
who carried all women's hearts before
him. But he explained that the
heroine was to discover in time that
the fascination he had for her was
not true love. This left room for her
to realize her grand passion" in her

rival to silken Fans.

"A man without sense of romance
has invented and patented mechanic
chal hand fan, and sets it up as rival
of, the toy gauze and lace which has
been feminine weapon through untold
ages. His fan buzzes and is not beau
tiful, but it provides steady draught
of cool air.
In appearance it is cross between
an egg-beater and glove-stretcher.
1t is made of wood and brass, and he
asserts that, in expert hands, it can be
made to reach a speed Of 5000 revolu-
tons per minute, and will throw cur
rent of air as far as an electric fan Of
the same size.
1t works by COMPRISING in the hand
two wooden handles of a glove-stretch-
er-like arrangement. A ratchet and
two small cog wheels at the end Of the
arms transmit the force to the blades
of the fan, which are miniature electric
fan blades. Both of these are detach-
able, so that the fan may be easily
carried when not in use.
The inventor says that he has dis
posed of 1000 of his hand fans in few
months. He isn't sanguine Of its gen
eral adoption by the gentler SEX but he
thinks that lots of men would use it In
hot weather. Sentiment ought not to
play any part in comfort-seeking, he
says, but has to admit that it general
ly does.-New York Sun.
