Women Elevator Operntors.

From Boston comes the news Of an
innovation in the form Of the woman
elevator operator. An official in a COM
pany that makes elevators was asked
if be thought there was any likelihood
Of elevator girls for New York.
"There aren't any yet" he said, "but
I see no reason why there shouldn't
be. OF course girl couldn't run the
sort of car that has to be hauled up
and down By main strength with a
rope, but many Of the cars these days
travel through eighteen and twenty
more stories under the control Of a
man who doesn't use any strength at
all. A metal crank does the work, and
child could do the physical part of it
as well as anybody. The operator
simply has to have level head, and
If the heads a girls, it is just as good

At what point does life begin? So
far as regards space of time, the ques-
ton is unanswerable. Only few
years ago it would have been said that
in regard to that seemingly essential
condition of life temperature we did
not know pretty nearly q superior
and inferior limit. Little Of life Is
there below the freezing point or above
the boiling point of water, and far
above or below these critical points we
should expect even germ life to be
destroyed. When our greatest physi-
cist In 1871 suggested that seeds Of
plants might have been born to this
world in far distant age, the hy-
potliesis seemed incredible, because
tie temperature Of space, being at
least as low as minus 40 degrees Cent?
grade would be fatal to life in any
form. This is not so. Recently at the
Jenner Institute bacteria have been
frozen in liquid air, and even in liquid
hydrogen, and on the application Of
heat, and placed in proper media have
germinated. The process of life was
arrested, but the nascent life energy
was not destroyed at 200 degrees Cen
tigrade, shy, 800 degrees Fahrenheit
of frost. Experiments are now being
made to find whether long continuance
for months or years in such cold takes
away the vitalism Of those lowest
forms Of llfe.-London Telegraph.

How He Saved Himself.

A distinguished French novelist,
whose works are extremely popular
with the fair sex, recently found him.
self travelling in a railway carriage
with two very talkative women. Hav.
ing recognized him from his published
portraits, they both opened fire upon
him in regard to his novels, which they
praised in a manner that was unen-
durable to the sensitive author. For
tunately the train entered a tunnel,
and in the darkness the novelist, who
understood women, lifted the back of
his hand to his lips and kissed it sound
ingly. When light returned he found
the two women regarding one another
in icy silence, and, addressing him
with great suavity, he said: "Ah
mesdames, the regret Of my life will
hereafter be that I shall never know
which one OF you it was that kissed

That children delight in rolling ord1-
nary hoops is evident, says the New
York Herald, but how they can find
any pleasure in it has long been puz-
zle to many of their elders.
True, it requires some skill to keep
a hoop upright and to prevent it from
swerving from the right path, but such
skill is rather easily acquired, and
therefore it is somewhat strange that
children who are experts in the art
should continue to roll hoops and ap-
parently enjoy themselves quite as
much as their less skilled brothers and
sisters. Whether they will find equal
enjoyment rolling hoop similar to
the one shown in the accompanying
picture remains to be seen.

spaces are barred off In it, and these

and use 1t? You won't? All right,
then. Good night" He turned back
and began to unbutton his coat again.
McCorkle was really doubtful about
the suicidal intention of this top-hatted
| man who had interfered with his own
| impulse in that direction. He had to
| acknowledge himself conquered on this
line, too, for the sake of his own peace
of conscience, and having had suffi-
cient proof of his inability to save the
other man by physical force. Besides,
he longed to be back with his wife
and Connie. So he solemnly promised
to accept the check and consented to
show Norton the little tenement just
around the corner on the avenue that
was his home. And so Norton had the
good fortune to meet Mrs. McCorkle.
Norton was young in years, and still
younger in general experience. Much
Of his life had been spent on a Western
cattle range, in region where Mrs.
McCorkle's sex was scantily and not
favorably represented. Pondering the
situation revealed by Comics sobbing
message, and by the scene at which he
assisted in the McCorkle home, he be-
gan to think that a woman's word
needs much Interpreting and patience.
And that other person was of Mrs.
McCorlzle's sex, though in unlike cir
cumstances. Upon which Norton re-
solved to wait for the Interpretation of
events.
The following note reached him at
his hotel next morning:

Listen to the NTocking Bird,

The story told by Septimus Winner
Of how he drew the inspiration for his
famous songs, "Listen to the Mocking
Bird" and "What is Home Without a
Mother?" is touching. A mother was
wont to stand on piazza holding her
babe sin the mild September" to hear
the knocking bird singing far and
wlde." Years afterward he saw the
child standing on the piazza scarcely
realizing that her mother lay dead.

The weather is a most important

that science has not yet discovered the
laws of rain, men are unable to fore.

Hence there are in use many lists OF

rain is supposed to be governed.
"The faster the rain, the quicker the

been from time immemorial associated
with what is generally termed a sun
shiny shower"
Although it is said to be of short dura-
ton, it is an indication that it will rain
on the following day about the same
hour.
Among the numerous rhymes, this
one Is current in some of the midland
countries of England
"A sunshiny shower
Never last half an hour
There is popular fancy that rain
on Friday insures a wet Sunday, a
perstition-embodied in the familiar
couplet:
"a rainy Friday, rainy Sunday;
A fair Friday, a fair Sunday"
Another version of this rhyme says:
AS the Fridays so the Sunday;
As the Sunday, so the week"
Sundays rain is in many places re.
garded as the fore"unner of a rain
week.
In Norfolk it is commonly said:
"Rain afore chutch (church),
Rain all the week,
Little or much"
Rain in springtime is regarded as a
good omen.
"a wet spring, dry harvest
The possibility Of foretelling rain by
observation of the sky is referred to
in the following rhymes:
"Ev ,aing red and morning gray
VIII speed the traveller on his way;
Evening gray and morning red
VIII bring down rain upon his head
"A red night is the sailors delight; -.
A red morning is the sailors warning"
"a rainbow at night is the shepherds de-
light;
A rainbow. at morning is the shepherds
warning"
The duration of rain is supposed to
be governed by the following rule:
"Rain before seven, quit before eleven"
Many of the charms used by children
to avert rain are curious. This one is
current in Northumberland:
"Rain, rain, go away
Come again another day.
