HAVE WOMEN lNTuITIoNi
One Writer Says They Have Never
Shown 1t In Literature.

Shown 1t In Literature.
Literature is the final expression of
human thought. If women can lay
claim to a special faculty of intuition,
why do they not manifest 1t In their
writings? Intuition. If it means any
thing, means the faculty that gets
down to the germ of actions and char
acteristics and focuses external traits
into a central verify recognizable to
the general public. Now, there are
more female writers than male. No
woman poet has ever written an In
evitable line, line that flashes spon-
taneously out Of the unknown and casts
an Illuminating light upon the abyss.
Woman has added practically nothing
to our stock of familiar quotations.
Take down your Bartlett or your an
thology, and you may be surprised to
find that from Mrs. Browning to Mrs.
Meynell women have never coined
phrase which has passed into the com
mon currency of speech Mrs. Brown
ing has indeed written fine lines. but
nothing of hers can be said to have be-
come a household word.
Nor has any woman novelist created
any character that is generally recog-
nized as typical. George Eliot has
come closest with her Tito Melema
and Mrs. Poyser You would appeal
only to the educated few if you de-
ecribed a person as a Tito or Poyser.
But call a man q Don Quixote. a
Micawber, a Dogberry, Falstaff.
Colonel Newcome, a Bilfil. Parson
Adams or Bob Acres, call woman a
Mrs. Malaprop, a Becky Sharp, Bea-
trice, Diana Vernon, Meg Merrilies
and even the illiterate will mentally
classify the individual as you wish him
or her to be classified.
"Ah, but" you say, ''in real life wo-
men are the true intuitions. They size
up q man or q woman at q glance
They are never mistaken when they
trust to their instincts"
can only testify to my own expert
ence. have not found that women's
snap judgments of character are i'm
bued with any special verify. They
form likes or dislikes quicker than a
man does because they are quicker on
the trigger of conjecture. They can
only be one of two things, right or
wrong. If time proves that they are
right, as they must be in so per cent Of
cases, the right guess is remembered
and treasured up by the slower minded
man as an extraordinary instance Of
intuition. The wrong guess is forgot

No city in the world has so many
statues and monuments as Paris, and
every day sees new project for new
statue or bust. 1t is curious to note in
this connection that large proportion
of the famous men honored in this way
came to their end by violence in some
form or other. Many Of them died on
the scaffold, and a stroll through the
Paris streets may give the philosopher
food for reflection on the mutability of
human judgment Danton and La
voisier were guillotined, Jeanne dare
and Etienne Delet were burned at the
stake. Henry Nv. was murdered,
Etienne Marcel was also assassinated,
Marshal Ney was shot, Condorcet com
mitted suicide to escape the scaffold.
and these are only 1.-THE of those that
might be mentioned.

Game duck of all sorts should be
roasted quickly in hot oven and are
considered best when very rare The
blood should always follow the knife
when carving the breast Of duck. 1t
is not possible to limit the roasting Of
a duck to any number of minutes; it
depends entirely upon the temperature
Of the oven. If game duck is being
roasted for men. it should be much
rarer than when it is to be eaten by
women.

LOADS IN FOLKLORE.
BiciIian Superstition Concerning the
Ugly Little Creatures.

ugly Little Creatures.
The toad has a prominent place In
folklore We find the ugly little crea-
ture distinguished in popular tradition,
and that in it's most permanent prov
ince, in local worship and belief. The
survival is so strange in itself and so
well fitted to illustrate the primitive
character of fairy mythology that it
may be accorded particular attention.
According to the statements of DR..
g. Pitre, contained in his excellent ac-
count of Sieilian tradition, the faith of
that island still recognizes supernatu-
raj beings known as dome di fuora
Qadies from abroad. also entitled pat
ronesses of the house, who have at
tributes In common with the fairies of
England Like the latter, during the
nighttime they enter houses. where
they expect to find everything in order.
Among mortals they have their favor
ties and enemies. Fortune is consid-
cred to result from their kindness,
sickness and poverty from their perse
cution.
1t is a peculiar feature Of their habits
that they visit the domicile not on any
evening indifferently, but only on
Thursday, making their entrance by
the keyhole or by cracks of doors. If
day surprises them before they leave
the cottage. they change into toads and
in this state remain until the following
eve, when they are once more at liber-
ty to resume their proper shape of
beautiful women. During the interval
the toad is sacred, because it is impos-
sible to be sure that any particular
one may not in reality be the lady Of
the house.
| Legends abound in which is related
the reward or punishment consequent
upon the good or Ill treatment ola Fri
day toad. On this day, therefore. the
usually unpopular animal is safe from
abuse and secure of attention, more
especially If 1t chance to belong to a
species possessing particular arrange
ment of the cuticle reminiscent of a
lady's head Of hair. Any person who
occupies himself with folklore becomes
accustomed to remarkable survivals,
yet it does excite establishment to find
so perfect an illustration of prehistoric
thought in central Europe of the TWEEN
tieth century.-Internatio Monthly.
