Women and Great Wealth.

In the light of certain recent matri-
monial experiences of an international
character it is pertinent to ask what
may seem at first blush to be an i'm
pertinent question, namely, Should
women have money? Is it well to EN-
barrass one of the sex with a great
fortune like that, for instance, pos
sessed by Miss Alice Thaw, of Pitts
burg, now basking in the reflected
glory of an English or Irish title?
We are accustomed to frown upon
things English, and one of those which
we find it easy to contemn is the law
of primogeniture harsh law
which gives the bulk of the estate to
the eldest son and permits the others
to hustle for living. But is there not,
after all, lot of common sense and
business shr8wdness behind the law?
Your Englishman is not a sentimental
creature, but when it comes to hard,
rock-ribbed common sense it is diff
cult to find his superior.
The Englishman has found by long
experience that the way to keep for
tune in the family is to fasten it down
and hedge it in: where fortune hunt
ers, titled or otherwise, may not lay
hand upon it by prevailing upon a
weak woman that he is worth the buy
ing. And, alas! experience has shown
that some women are weak where a
crest or family tree or a chance to
be dubbed MY Lady" "Your High
ness" or some of the other titles which
are SO much thought Of across the
water, and by the few on this side
also, Is offered.
There Is another kind of woman to
whom 1t seems wrong to intrust a vast
fortune. We mean the stingy kind, of
whom there are, unhappily, many. For
such woman can out-Herod Herod,
or out-Shylock Shylock, when it comes
to greedy grasp upon the dross that
we call riches. Her safe deposit vaults
are seldom opened, and then only to
put money and securities in, not to
take them out. From a stingy woman
we would beg ten thousand times for
succor.
Should women have money? They
are good stewards to a certain degree
But for their ewn sake, and for that
Of the public whom they affect, we
think the question is one to be serious

anhood travel well in double harness :?

Nation Adding to Navy.

The United States is rapidly adding
to its navy. In three years it will
probably have the largest number Of
ships able to engage in active war
fare Of any country in the world. Bat
t1e-ships, cruisers and monitors are
now in course of construction and will
be launched as soon as completed.
The next to take to the sea Is the
Pennsylvania, which will be launched
from Cramps shipyard next season
and christened by Miss Quay, daughter
Of the Pennsylvania leader, who will
break bottle upon the bow and name
the ship with appropriate ceremony.
The starting of ship Of war upon
its journey is such an important cere-
mony, and one attended with SO many
honOrs, that the greatest rivalry exists
for the honor Of breaking the bottle.
Wires are pulled, plans are laid year
in advance, and often feelings are en-
gendered that are quite the reverse of
friendly or patriotic.
The selection Of Miss Quay has given
universal satisfaction in Philadelphia
and Washington, as she is young
woman, pretty and accomplished, and
already identified in public affairs.

Ellen Terry,a Toe.

Years ago.. when Miss Ellen Terry
was little girl about 10 years old, she
played Puck In "A Midsummer Nights
Dream" and had to make her appear
ance through the stage floor ON a trap
door. The trap-door was shut too soon
and one of the child's feet was caught.
She screamed with pain, and Mrs.
Charles Kean whispered to her: "Be a
brave girl, Nellie; finish your part and
you shall play Arthur in King john
The trap-door by this time was opened,
but the child's, toe was broken. She,
however, pluckily pulled herself to-
gether and finished her speech.

Paris Women Doctors.

For many years sthe medical men Of
Paris violently opposed the granting
OF licenses to practice to women. They
held that the profession of medicine
was not suited to women and that wom-
en- were not suited for the profession.
But after long and determined strug-
gle the women won the day. While
twenty years ago only seven women
had taken their medical degree, the
$500 physicians now established in
Paris include fifty-seven women.
Every year the faculties of medi-
cine of Paris and Montpelier grant de-
grees to many feminine candidates,
but French women are in the minor
fty, most of the doctresses who pass
in that country being Russians and
Roumanians. No woman physician
has yet been rewarded with the cross
of the Legion of Honor, but one mid
wife, Nine. Gross, holds this high and
coveted order, which has been con-
ferred upon her for gallant conduct

A Watermelon Story,

A fish story is but a triiie compared
with watermelon narrative which
comes from the Arkansas valley. One
good farmer feeds great many wa
termelons to his hogs. A few weeks
ago he heard a pig squealing in a
very distressing manner and upon
investigation discovered that the
noise came from the middle of the
patch where the hogs were eating,
yet they all seemed to be quiet and
contented Upon walking among
them he noticed that a water melon
rlnd moved slightly. He turned this
over and a shroat weighing thirty
five pounds ran out of 1t. being llber'
ated from an almost air tight prison
The interior of the melon had been
eaten out by porkers and was, in
some manner turned over on the
shoat. A melon, the heart OF which
will make a room large enough to
mprison a thirty.five pound pig, viii
weigh how much?-Denver Field and
