 The following gem should be pasted ill every mans hat as reminder of his duty when he desires to speafI II Of any woman. Remen5er his. "Be- ware how you speak of . woman's character. Think how many years she has been building 1t, of tine wound received, of the tolls and privations endured; and let no suspicious follow her actions. The purity of woman is the salvation of the race, the hope of future grcatresss and he redemption of man. Wipe out her purity and manGnnks beneath the wave of despair with not a star to guide his life into a chan nel of safety. Think, then, before you speak, and remember that any hog can root up the fairest flower that ever g CIV, so the vilest can ruin the purest char acter." It's all light to tellman what to remember, but in cur humble opinion woman is the worst enemy of her sex.

We are told by F. C. Hubbard that life is always interesting when one has a purpose and lives in it's fulfllment. It IS then that possibilities stir within and clamor for expression. Hope looks out of her watch-tower and paints victory-pictures with bright and positive colors. Faith rouses the faculties into intence activity. Purpose opens definite plans and paths. Then it Is that achievement crowns toll, and from these successes new inspiration comes from lar ger and better things. This is ideal, but many makes it real, for toll and triumph are twins. Others dream of it, but because of difficulties despair and drift helplessly on. Alas, so many drift! Though possessed of a splendid craft, thorougly appointed, they are helpless in the midst ofopportunities, They do not lay hold of life with a definite interest and definite purpose.-Word and Works.

The highest ascent ever made by man was the balloon trip made last summer by Jacques Balsan and M. Goddard, who were enabled to reach a point 22, 400 feet above the surface. They were, however, successful in attaining this height by the use of bags of oxygen, which they carried with them and which they breathed constantly after reaching 2O,O00feet. They began to feel the effects of the great height at 1S,OOO feet, and at zO,15O feet MT. Bal san was prostrated, and was wholly unable to help himself. His companion was able to withstand the rarified air for a longer time, and he secured the bag of oxygen which greatly relieved them both. At z1, ,250 feet the cold was intense, and at 22, 400 feet they were both in great pain and just barely able to perform the operations which started the balloon on the de scent.-Patent Record.

TREATY IS DEAD.
Hay-Pauncefote Convention Out
With Old Senate.

Washington, March 5.-The Hay
Pauncefote treaty. intended to replace
the Clayton -Bulwer treaty, relative TO
the construction Of Isthmian water
ways, died at noon yesterday.The death
was caused technically by the fact that
the last clause of the treaty allowed
only the period Of time up to March 1.
for it's ratification.
Neither the government of the Uni
ted States nor of Great Britain appears
to have made any formal effort TO ex-
tend that period. Though the treaty
is dead from the point of international
law. IT may still serve a purpose It is
understood here that the British s. gov
ernment either has or is preparing a
communication to the United States
government based uupon the senate
amendments analyzing them carefully,
pointing out their probable effect upon
the original proposition, as seen from
the British side and perhaps suggest
ing some notifications. While it is int
possible to predict in advance of the re-
ceipt of this communication just what
attitude the state department viii as
sumo toward it. there is reason to be-
leve that it viii be taken in good part
and that negotiations will be resumed
for the conclusion of a new treaty with
a view to meeting, if possible the OBJ
jections raised by the senate to the or
igfnal Il eaty

are enormous, the shares showing this
highest premium Of any in the world.
Despite the great profits the companies
had the audacity to recently present to
