STRENGTH IN SOME FORM.
She Quality Above All Elise Tera

Ehe Quality Above All Elise Ttea
Woman Admires Ia Man.
Women abhor towards and still more
sncaks, though 1 regret to say they
often endure cads In way that bellies
their intelligence and good taste. They
have quite pathetic desire to look up
to men, to feel men their superiors In
strength of body and of mind, In calm
ness Of judgment and clearness Of in.
tellect. And 1t Is indeed a 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 a Hercules
with the brain Of a guinea pig. It 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 f1nancier who is un-
swervingly wrapped up In dreams Of
personal advancement, and who pos
sesses no r:ore heart than an oyster.

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, viii never do
so without 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 evil, cr life's 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.

head of a well known business house.
In reply they wrote:

I'VE notice your circular is printed

Euronean Arithmetic.

At the custom house we were obliged
to make a deposit of francs 40 cen
times ON each wheel before entering
Switzerland. Since that day faith in
the advantages of higher education has
wavered. There were nine bicycles,
and the government official found the
entire amount of our Indebtedness by
putting down $40 nine times and then
adding up. Why should one vex ones
self with the multiplication table when
straight addition combined with un-
limited time reaches the same result?

THE COLLECTOR WHO KNEW
Az Illustration of the Danger of Be-
ing Too Self Confident


ing Too Self Confident
THE trouble with you fellows is
You want things, but you know moth
Ing about 'em. You come over here
and carry home lot of trnck that a
European collector wouiat give
house room, and when you see really
good thing you don't know it. or you
wont pay price for it unless some
dealer makes you. You see. you don't
know; that's what's the matter; how
can you? Nobody in America wanted
antiques before the Centennial If
you'd lived here twenty years, like me,
you'd learn something, you'd find out
that collecting isn't thing of money,
but knowing"
We had been walking in Venice
down narrow calle while the collect
or was speaking. Look at that old
brass SCALE" he resumed, pointing to a
fish stall in the little outdoor market
on which we had just emerged.
There's a gem, not very old, but of
the finest seventeenth century Venetian
work. If you saw that in New York
dealers, all cleaned up, you'd give up
good deal for it; but you'd "a passed
1t by dozen times If l hadn't spoken
about it. See that old junk stand over
there? l never pass a thing like that.
You can never tell what you may pick
up-if you only know"
We had scarcely reached the stand
when the collector thrust out his hand
with the swiftness of a hawk darting
on Its prey. and swooped upon a little
Jewel box.
"Carneliani Russian, l should say,
from the Ural mountains. It's not of
great value, but it's a pretty little
thing, if it was cleaned up. It's mine,
anyway" To the keeper of the stall:
"Quanto?"
The Venetian slowly uncoiled him
self and came down from the church
steps, where had been sleeping.
docs the signore want the pretty
trifie? The signore knows it's value
better than 1, and he'll be generous?"
'I'll give you Ira for it. 1t isn't
worth 1t, but one mustn't be hard with
the poor"

'Well, I'll make it two"

There, you seer exultingly chuckled
the collector. That's what 1t is to

While speaking he held the box with
miser's clutch.

He reluctantly handed it to me as
though fearing l might make a sud-
den dash down the calle with his treas

"Phewr' said 1 contemptuously,
handing the box back to him. Its not
carnelian at all. It's glass, nothing but
glass;"
"Glass!' drawing a magnifier from
his waistcoat pocket and mutely ex-
amining the purchase. 'Tm-Im-

DiNEp IN THE KITCHEN.
One Satisfactory Meal Grant Had
After His Tour of the World.

One Satisfactory Meal Grant Had
After His Tour of the World.
When General Grant stopped at the
Palmer House in Chicago on his re-
turn from his tour of the world" SAID
a man who was there at the time. ''the
steward was all but stupefied one noon
at seeing the ex-president slide in at
the kitchen door as though escaping
from some one.
"I am sorry to trouble you,' he said,
as though asking a great favor, but
may l have little corned beef and
cabbageP
"Why. certainly the steward re
piled; but shan't send it out to you
in the dining roomY
mo he answered; I'll eat it right
here if you'll let me sit down.
$50 place on the rough board table,
where the cook had been fixing the
meat, was cleared, and Grant drew up
a stool and set to, and the way he
got away with that corned beef and
cabbage was a caution. When he had
finished, he laid down his knife and
fork with funny sigh of satisfaction,
put one hand on the stewards shoulder
and said:
Young man. l don't suppose you
care for that at all, but if you had had
to eat what 1 have for the past few
months it would taste like dinner for,
the gods. 1t tastes homeyr
'The ex-president had dined with
everybody from the queen down, but
that cabbage and corned beef doubt
less reminded him of the time when
he was not so well known, but proba-
bly, far happier-when people in st.
Louis called him captain when they
spoke to him and bought the wood he
carted into town to SELL"

Breathing Of Insecfs,

Insects generally breathe through
special pores in various parts of their
bodies, and If these pores are closed by
oil they are suffocated. Any one may
test this by dropping sweet oil on the
thorax or back of wasp. 1t very
soon dies. For this reason oil has been
found one Of the bsst things to use for
the destruction of insects.
