Why Woman's Mind Is a Puzzle to
Man.

Why Woman's Mind Is Puzzle to
Man.
A man can very seldom tell what is
passing in womans mind. He talks
with another man and he can follow
his processes; he gets his point Of
view; he can read between the lines;
he can make a shrewd guess as to
how he came to say that, or why he
RETAINED from saying the other,
says the Waterman.
But a woman's mental processes
one not those OF a man. Her mental
machinery is geared differently. You
hear what she tells you. You can
make differences from it; they will be
wrong, because you do not know how
she came to say what she did; you
do not have the clue. Try to guess
what she will say next and you will
find that you are all at sea.
The man who says that he under
stands woman is himself woman.
No man can understand a woman.
He may love her. There may exist
between his soul and hers that in
defnable and celestial sympathy
which is the sweetest thing on earth;
but he does not understand her
Her mental operation, her ways of
thought, her point Of view, will al
ways be as inscrutable to him as the
mental processes of an angel
Whether women understand each
other is not quite certain. A greater
part of the delight that men find in
the companionship Of women arises
from their inscrutability. You can
not measure or exhaust them.
Their charming inconsequence, as
they seem to you, will never cease tc
puzzle you, and every fresh converse
ton reveals a novelty of attitude OF
| opinion.

Buffalo's Exhibit.

In large cities asphalt road builders
have large mixing plants in which is
installed heavy and expensive ma
chinery for preparing the asphaltum
for street paving purposes. But III
small towns and cities the amount of
paving to be done would not justify
large expenditures for perm ane 1T
plants. The large asphalt companies
meet this condition with their rail-
road plants" which consist of cars
fitted up with the machinery required.
A BOARDING car for the workmen is
attached to the travelling plant AMI
the whole affair is run on side

AN ANTARCTIC OASiS
Queer Discovery Made During the
 Recent Expedition

Recent antarctic discoveries by the Belgian expedition, are described fn the Century for January by Mr. Fred erick A. Cook of Brooklyn, whose arti- eie is very fully illustrated. An oasis in a snowy wilderness is the phrase he employs in characterizing certain 3lt of the antarctic land. Being still unwilling to advance into the unknown

The noise frGn the birds, which re-echoed from Tiff to cliff was deafcning. The lower rocks Were lined with snoring and grunting sea-leopards. Columns Of vapor rose above the water. followed 5y d hiss like that Of stealu engine, and a seconG later the blue back of &hatc. with it's long fin and ponderous tail, lasked the water into a foamy whirlpool. The great wall of land-ico rose to each side of the black cliff, %hich gave us shelf as landing place. From this wall came frequent sounds like the explosion of a cannon. which were followed by a splash and ! commotion in the water. With such 'sports parts of the wall would eont st&ntly break away and fal! into mil

 eeberga. Above us rose cliff to al altitude of about 2,000 feet; out from his Wers projecting mantel-like rocks, which served as resting places for .he ,.ormorants and sea-gulls. Here the young ones, dressed in gray down, coaXed their mothers for food. We ex- aeeted to see the little things drop from their narrow resting places, to be de- stroyed on our heads or on the rocks below, but such an accident rarely hap pened. Our greatest surprise here was he discovery of large quantities of moss and liehens, which gave the spot an unexpected appearance Of vegeta- 5ie life and color, After seeing noth- ing but ice and black rocks for so many days, this sight Of green and brown and red amid an endless expanse of icy desert was great relief IL was

How did Cinderella become ubiquitous? The transactions of the Folk Lore society will perhaps offer a theory. Now, there has been unrayeled a curious superstition con- mon to Shetianders and Singhalesa How islanders so wide apart-some 15,- 000 miles-nanaged to adopt each oth- CTS views one does not know. But here Is the fact. The rice cultivators of Eeylon and the fishermen of Shetland resemble each other in one or two rather remarkable points. They ra- frain from speaking of the implements of their calling by their names; they call them something else, by names known only to themselves. The req. son is that if the evil spirit were to think that they were speaking of spades and rakes or of nets and hooks he would be tempted to damage them or even to appropriate them. The train of thought is the same with both races. There is an evil spirit always on the loo out for opportunities of do- ing misc f. He even hears what ws say. If we let him understand that we are talking about our implements and tools we shall direct his attention to tsem and shall suggest to him way of doing an injury Therefore We will agree to call boat or a spade by some fancy name known only to ourselves" Another custom of the Shetlander, not possible to the rice grower, is that if in fishing his net catches something at the bottom and stone is brought up 1t is not to be thrown back again for fear of offending the evil spirit, who most certainly put It into the nat II Is to be kept in the boat until the net sSain catches Then 1t is to be dropped in the water with the words: Take your own and give me mine" where upon the net Is at once released.

Tart o7 Inc nra,n That Keep. eam~A

An Austrian sayapt has declared that the human brain contains a name center He says that it is the office of this cell to retain names. A strik- ing case which would seem to confirm this theory recently occurred at Cieve- land. A brakeman was shot by G con- ductor, and the former could not re- member the names of persons and things, although he could perfectly well deccrjbe the functions of all ar- ticles exhibited to him. A surgeon probed for the bullet and found it in the exact spot necessary to affect the remembrance of names. according to the Austrian's theory. When the pres. sure of the brain had been relieved the patient remembered names as well as he had done before his injury, and told the name of his assailant.-Scientih American.

Big Contract fos American Company.
 After being carefully guarded for over two months 1t has leaked out that the tramway committee of the Glas- sow (Scotland) corporation has awa1 d. ed the contract for the supply and lay ing of the conduit for conveying the cable for Glasgow municipal tramways to the National Conduit and Ga ble company of America The work of laying the pipe under American super vision has already begun, and some 500 navies are being employed. This con- duit contract is reported to be by far the most important one ever placed outside of England Already 1000, 900 feet If piping have been ordered, and 1t is said that the chances are that the filled by the Americans, and that the cable-on the superior manufacture ot which English manufacturers have long prided themselves-wil also be ordered from the United States. The curious part of the conduit contract is that lump sum has been agreed upon with the National company that will include the supply of pipes, the eX, cavation of the earth as well as the laying Of the pipe.

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
one Very Common Cause, Generally
Overlooked.

Headache IS symptom. an indica-
tion Of arrangement or disease in
some organ. and the cause Of the
headache is difficult to locate because
so oaay diseases have headache as
pr Hl ent symptom; arrangement of
tn Jmach and liver, heart trouble
kidney disease, lung troubles eye
strain or IN fitting glasses all produce
headaches and If we could always To-
cate the organ which is at fault the
cure Of obstinate headaches would be
a much simpler matter.
However. for that form OF headache
called frontal headache, pain back of
the eyes and in forehead, tho cause is
now known to be catarrh of the head
and throat; when the headache is To-
Gated in back OF head and neck it is
often cause from catarrh Of the stom-
ach or liver.
AT any rate cGtarrh is the most
common cause of such headaches and
the cure Of the eatarrh causes a
prompt disappearance of the head
aches
There is at present no treatment
for catarrh so convenient and effective
as stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new in
ternal remedy in tablet form, com
posed of antiseptics like Eucalyptol,
Guaiacol and Blood Root which act
upon the blood and cause the elimina-
ton Of the catarrhal poison from the
system through the natural channels.
Miss Cora Ainsley, a prominent
school teacher in one four normal
schools. speaks Of her experience with
catarrhal headaches nnd eulogizes
stuart's Catarrh Tablets as a cure for

from severe frontal headache and pain
in and back Of the eyes. at times SO
intensely as TO incapacitate me in my
daily duties. had suffered from
catarrh, more ~ loss for years bat
never thought It was the cause of my
headaches. but finally became con
ylnced that such was the case because
the headaches were always worse
whenever had cold or fresh attacl

"Stuart's Catarrh Tablets weri
highly recommended TO me as a saf'
and pleasant catarrh cure and afte

prised and delighted to fnd That botl

stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sol,
by druggists at fifty cents per pack

prietors that they contain absolutel
no cocaine (found in so many catarr
cures) no opium $50 common In chea

They contain simply the wholesom
antiseptics necessary to destroy an
