Woman, the gentlest Of all creatures,
Is apt to become masterful and even
tyrannical, this because she is q crea-
ture in whose composition emotion dom
mates, and emotion, when highly slim
ulated. becomes passion, and passion
spurns all reasonable limitation and be.
comes tyrannical. Besides, there are
women with more than ordinary firn
will and persistent purpose; these, when
winged by the passion which is natural
to the sex, become intoerant, masterful
and more tyrannical than men. Quail
flcation to the intense action Of the i'm
passioned soul is treachery. and con-
tradction Is treason. Like stormy
wind they will have their sweep and
ignore all contraries. And from this
predominance of the emotional element
1t seems plain that, though she may try
many things and succeed in most, she
is, with her normal outfit. materially
incapacltated from being a statesman
or a judge.-Daybook Of John Stuart

Coronation Blunders.

There were all sorts Of blunders made
at Queen Victoria's coronation, and the
queen never knew what she was to do
next. They made her leave her chair
and enter st. Edwards chapel before
the prayer was concluded, much to the
discontinue of the archbishop.
The ruby coronation ring, according
to the rubric, should so on the fourth
finger. In this case the ring had been
made for the little finger, which the
queen accordingly held out when the
proper time came. The archbishop re-
fused to put it ON that finger and said
it must go on the fourth. The queen
demonstrated, declaring that she could
not get 1t on, but the archbishop insist
ed that 1t had to go. Accordingly the
other rings were taken off, and the
new one was forced on with such pain
that as soon as the ceremony was over
the queen had to battle her finger In ice
water to get 1t off-Saturday Evening

success came to him.

Old Time Moon Beliefs.

1t was to the moon the farmer looked
for indications OF the weather II the
new moon lay well on its back, it was
q sign of dry weather. but If it tipped
to such an extent that shot pouch
wouldn't hang on the lower horn you
might depend upon the water pouring
out.
The time Of changing had a good
deal to do with the weather, but there
was lack Of agreement upon this
point; but it was generally conceded
that change before noon or before
midnight indicated fair weather. 4
circle or halo around the moon was
sure sign of rain. and the number of
stars visible within the circle indicates
the number Of days before the rain

1TORiES MADE WITH FEET,
Animal Tracks In the Wood Which
Betray Identity.

Anicni Tracks In the Wood Which
Betray Identity.
Each animal makes its own kind of
track in the mud, snow or dust. No
two make exactly the same. The track
Of coon is never like that Of n fox,
and the track Of fox is readily dis
tlnguished from that of q rabbit or
small dog. And, more than that the
track Of one coon may differ from that
of his own brother, so that one can
sometimes distinguish the track of u
given individual and by seeing it on
different occasions get something like
an insight into its life. Thus q famous
grizzly in the west was known by his
track. One OF his toes had been cut
off by trap. and the difference that
made In his track was easy to see.
To come nearer home, our common
animals sometimes have unpleasant
experiences with steel traps. The
marks of these on their feet often add
q popularity that Identifies the animal.
In other cases the track is extra large
or small or Is crooked, but 1t always
keeps the main features Of It's kind.
The track of one sort of animal rarely
need be mistaken for that Of another,
and the A B G of tracking is to learn
the chief kinds of footmarks that are
to be found in your region. The way to
learn tracks Is to draw those that you
find, always sketching them right from
nature, never from memory, and 1t is
always best to make them exactly life
size.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Our Debt to Our Mothers.

Ian Maclaren in The Christian En-
deavor World paid the following beau
tiful tribute to mothers:
'The person TO whom you owe more
than you can ever pay or even imagine
Is your mother. She endured more for
you, served you more patiently. loved
you more fondly, thought Of you more
bravely, than any other person you
have known on earth or will ever know
save your wife or your husband, If in
deed they can always be excepted. If
your mother be spared to you then are
you bound to make her q first charge
on your life. as you desire a peaceful
conscience and as you shall answer be-
fore the judgment seat Of God. She
must be encompassed with every OBJ
servance of comfort and honor and
gentleness and love, with sacrifices
also, If so be it will please her. Of
tastes and occupations and time and
even friendship, and after you have
done all that you can think Of and any
one can suggest you will still remain
hopeless bankrupt for the love where
with she loved YOU"
