Has Woman q Sense Of Justice :

Some time ago, in one Of these pa
pers. I wrote down the opinion that
women have NO sense of Justice; and
this remark called forth some letters
Of earnest protest. Yet what said
was absolutely true. A woman will
often fling herself with passionate in
tensity into . crusade against some
particular Injustice. but this is not be-
cause she cares anything for justice
- . principle. but because he espe-
cial instance has In some way made
an appeal to her feelings. Some other

emotional element, will find her utter.
ly unmoved and stonily Indifferent.
says a writer in the Cosmopolitan. For
instance. many women In the North
were vehemently stirred by the anti
slavery movement before the civil
war. This was because their feelings
could be narrowed by tales Of cruelty
such as Mrs. Stowe wrote down with
SO much vivid power; but have never
heard that any Of these women were
at all disturbed by the gross injustice
wrought by negro domination during
the years Of carpet baggery. which by
comparison made slavery seem inno-
cent and wholesome.

DAscHunD As a WONDER.

A Little Incident That Gave Mr..
0oxzIsby New Idea Of It. -
"Of course" said Mr.. Gozzleby. i
had realized in a general way that the
dachshund is . very long-bodied and
short-legged beast, but I ind that
never fully and actually realised the
dachshwnd's dimensions and proper
tons until this morning. when saw
one 10 up from . street pavement to
the sidewalk.
Truly, for Q moment he grounded
on the edge Of the curbstone. His
forslsgs at this time were some dis
tance on ahead, on the sidewalk.
where he was following his master,
while his hind legs were still quite
piece out in the street: but his body.
along in the middle part OF 1t, was
stranded there on that curbstone.
Apparently It didn't worry the dog
Q bit, no doubt he had similar expert
sncss before. He didn't even look
back; he Just pulled ahead gently.
and in = moment he had himself clear
once more; and. keeping on ahead, his
hind legs came along pretty soon to
the curb and stepped up. and then his
body was above the ground for the
usual space and he went on In his
usual placid manner.
But that gave me . new idea of
the dachshund's length of body and
his actual and relative length OF leg,
and 1 now look upon that wonderful
dog with greater wonder than ever"
