STRENGTH IN SOME FORM.
Ehe Quality Above All Else That
Woman Admires Ina Man.

Women abh0r towards and still more
often endure cads in a way that bellies
their intelligence and good taste They
have a quite pathetic desire to look up
to men, to feel men their superiors ia
strength of body and of mind, in calm
ness Of judgment and clearness of in
tellect. And it is indeed pity that
men SO often seem to go out of their
way to destroy their most cherished
illusions.
Above everything a woman admires
strength in man. 1t may be strength
Of body she will worship Hercules
with the brain of a guinea pig. 1t may
be strength of intellect--she will adore
savant with the body of a gibbon
monkey. 1t may be strength Of char
acter she will break her heart for a
politician or tinancier who is I'M
swervingly wrapped up in dreams Of
personal advancement. and who pos
scsseS no more heart than an oyster.
But strength in some form she Graves
increasingly. 1t is a hereditary in
stinct that has been beQueathed to her
through Ewes first disappointment
when Adam was tried in the balance
and found wanting. Woman, secretly
conscious of her own physical weak
ness and lack of intellectual strength,
demands strength from man to make
up for her own deficiencies. Even the
strongest women, strong in body and
mind, well balanced as Athene herself,
though they may shield and protect
the weakness of the men they love
and stoop to help them, will never do
so without a secret feeling of contempt
which is destruction of all ideals. Man,
in spite of that deplorable start made
by Adam, was intended to be woman's
protector and refuge from all harm,
upon whom she could lean and rely in
every event of lfes pilgrimage, and
when the roles are reversed, as they
often so unfortunately are, it is bad
thing both for man and woman.
Strength, however. is what women
love in men.-Lady Colin Campbell

AMOYS GRAVEYARDS.
TIE City and the Cemeteries Are
HUpeTessly IntcrmingIed.


The city of Annoy is on an island of
the same name For upward of 1000
years it has been an important trading
place The population of the island
Is estimated at over 100000, and it has
been said that there are something like
100000 dead bodies packed in its soil.
For many centuries the hillsides of the
city have been used as a burying
ground. Now the city and the ceme-
terry are hopelessly mixed. The graves
touch one another at every point and
form q solid white surface of rock,
more than 100000 square feet. Near
one of the iosshouSes 10000 bodies are
buried vertically to save. space. They
stand on Il plot of ground of as many
feet square.
The wells from which the city draws
its water supply aye shallow and are
sunk on the edge of grayeyards and
even among the tombs themselves.
The water is muddy and is colored by
the perpetual turning up of the soil.
1t has no sewers, and the streets vary
from two feet to six feet in width
No wheeled vehicle can use them.
Here and there is an open place or
plaza, dug out so as to be huge re-
ceptacle into which the streets dis
chdrge their refuse. Filth abounds.
and its twin sister disease, tiourishes.
The atmosphere is laden with noxious
smells and the burial of the dead goes
on at an alarming rate.

Wet Clothing and Lightning.

If the clothing is wet, lightning may
pass over it as good conductor with
out harming the body. On the other
hand, persons may be killed without
harm being done to the clothing. In
rare instances bodies have been
stripped naked by lightning. I he COW
erings of the feet are liable to be Sc
riously injured, because it is here that
the lightning meets the greatest re-
sistance in leaving the body.

PRECOClOUS AUTHORS.
Successful Plays That Were Written
by Boys In Their Teens.

US hoSS Ah
Was successful play ever written
by boy of fourteen? asks corre-
spondent. Yes. This seeming miracle
has happened at least three times. The
best known example Of the precocious
playwright is the celebrated Lope de
la Vega, the most prolific dramatist
known TO history. He produced his
first play, a comedy. entitled La Pas
toral de Jacinto," before he had COM
pleted his fourteenth year. and this
was considered such marvellous per-
formance that he is known to this day
in Spanish literature as 1.-The Prodigy
of Nature" Another Spaniard and con-
temporary of La Vega, Pedro Calde-
ron, wrote his first play when he was
thirteen. MetastaSiO wrote his tragedy
"Giustino" and had it produced when
he was fourteen on the stage at Bo-
logna.
OF English playwrights Douglas Jer-
rold, the famous author OF BLACK
Eyed Susan" also furnishes an answer
to the question. In 1878. before he had
completed his fifteenth year, he wrote
a very we'll known farce entitled
"More Frightened Than Hurt" 1t was
very successful OH the English stage,
and the French considered it good
enough TO steal. Curiously enough.
this French translation was retrans-
lated into English and again produced
on the English boards under the title
of Fighting by Proxy" Another very
remarkable instance of Il different sort
of prococity was that of William lien
ry Ireland, who when he was about
fifteen actually produced some plays
which he attributed to Shakespeare
and which, although afterward proved
TO be forgeres were accepted by t4e
experts Of the time as genuine.-Pedr-

That a member of the meat trust
should have given reward of $25 for
the recovery of negotiable securities
valued at something like $4,000 seems
strange to the papers that publish the
transaction. From all we know of the
trust and its members the wonder
ought to be that an effort was not
made to charge the finder Of the lost
securities interest for the time he had
them in his possession.

Washington, June ia statement
showing in comparative form the COM

made public today.
1t Is shown that the total value Of

35O,95 against $54. 1888 for the corre-
spending period of 1901. The exports Of
merchandise during the ten months
ended April 30 1902. amounted to $780,
727,965, against S4oo69,C50 for the same
period of 1901
The value of merchandise coming
from the United States for the ten
months ended April 30 1902, was $23,-

over the corresponding period of 1901,
while the exports for 1902 amounted to
$26732,7T7, decrease of about s7,000,000.
The loss in exports was confined al
most entirely to the sugar and tobacco
trade. Shipments of sugar for the
period show a falling off OF about &c.
100000. In the expectation of tobacco
for the ten months ending April. 1902,
1t appears that the demand for leaf
tobacco from practically all countries,

yesterdays report Of the training
school commencement, We're augmented
last night by the class motto, Seek
WISDOM" worked in letters of ever
green and framed in tiny incandescent
lights, suspended over the platform.
The class marched to the platform
from the rear down the two main asles,
the two lines meeting at the rear of the
platform, proceeding to the front in
couples, and then parting to the right
and left and taking places in the tiers
of seats. The girls wore colored dresses
of light material. The boys We're uni
fOrmly attired in white Shirt-waistS,
black bow ties, and white duck trous-
erS.
After an overture by Lawrence's or
chestra, and an invocation by Rev.
Hugh Davies, d. D., the exercises OPP
ened with the address of the president
of the class, John Bryce Burns. He
spoke of the mingled joy and sorrow of
graduation time; expressed the thanks
of the class to the faculty, the school
board and all friends of the high school,
and gave some well worded and timely
advice to his classmates on making the
most of every opportunity.
The class history was interestingly
sketched by Louis Nicot Ridenour. He
made some happy references to the ups
and downs of the high school paper
impressions" and provoked rousing
applause by his review of the schools
successes in athletics. An interesting
thing noted in his sketch was the fact
that during it's four years at the high
school, the class has seen four different
principals there.
The class poem was a clever compost
ton. Its authoress was Miss Edith
Walter. The title was 1.-The Naughty
Glass of Noughty-two."
Rhys Powell delivered the class ora
ton. His subject was Expansion"
and he treated it in thoughtful, elo-
quent manner. He argued that it was
the duty of a great nation to expand,
if only for the reason that it raised 9TH
er countries to higher civilization.
The conduct of the United States in
Cuba, he said, was an earnest that this
country can be trusted to expand with
out being tyrannical
The class will was read by Frank De
Salles O'Reilly. 1t was cleverly pre-
pared document and disposed of the
class belongings in Il way that must
have been considered very appropriate
judging from the laughter and ap-
plause which greeted the reading of the
various items.
The class mantle was formally pre-
sented by Edwin Rafter to the class of
1903 and accepted by Frederick *.
Gunster. The presentation was accom-
panied by an eloquent GRAFTON on
american Destiny"
Laughter was constant accompani-
ment to the class prophecy by james
Everett Davis. His hits" We're witty
without being hurtful.
The class presentations by Miss Nora
O'Boyle We're also provocative of much
merriment. Every member of the class
received some ridiculous present and
an accompanying hit" on some char
acteristic most noted by the classmates.
In concluding she pronounced Miss
Grace Atherton the most popular men,
