Habits Preferable to the Old
Fashioned Ones.

LET old-fashioned people croak as
they WILL" remarked well-known
literary woman lately, says Cassell's
Journal, "but in my opinion the mod
ern girl is a great advance on the
maidens of a generation ago.
Freedom and fresh air have
made her more self-reliant and
healthier in tone. She may be more
hoydenish, but she is less hysterical.
Instead of working samplers or she'd
ding sickly tears over sentimental
novels, she is out and about getting
an insight into the world and its
ways.
"As a result she makes good wife,
one who can share her husbands
tastes, understand his difficulties and
act as his chum and partner. The
wife of the past was too often a
childish, sentimental woman, with so
little knowledge of the world that
she was quite helpless if it was her
fate to be deprived of her husbands
support. But to-day it is not an I'M
common thing to find women as
capable in business as their hus-
hands"

WHEN TRANsLAToRs DISAGREE
Three Different Versions of a Cartha-

as Many Authors.

"The translation of hieroglyphics,
cuneiform inscriptions and other
writings upon stone," said the anti
quarry, according to the PHILADELPHIA
Record, sis a difficult art, and an odd
thing about it is the way different
translators will get an altogether
different meaning out of the same
text. For instance, some time ago
Carthaginian inscription was trans
lated by certain Duvivier:
Here reposes Hamilcar, father of
Hannibal, as much loved by his coun-
try as he was formidable to his foes.
'De Sauley studied the Inscription
and said that this was the proper
translation:
1.-The priestess of Isis has raised
this monument in honor of Spring
the Graces and Roses, which charm
and fertilize the earth
'Duvivier and De Sauley wrangled
and contended over the inscrintion
and finally agreed to accept as final
the judgment of an expert to be
mutually agreed on. The expert was
chosen and his translation was:

the god of the winds and storms

SPINSTERS HAVE A UNION.
Bachelor Girls of Advanced Age Pro-
pose to Abolish the Male
Celibates.

The spinsters of Adams county,
Pennsylvania, with headquarters at
York, have recently been forming old
maid societies to engage in various
social diversions calculated to attract
the bachelors, reports an eastern ex-
change.
At Gardeners Station the Old Maids
union held a left-hand social recently,
at which. all the old maid societies
of the county were represented. The
social was held at the home of Rev.
Mr.. Rhoades and Miss Ida Rhoades
was assisted in receiving by Miss
Aggie Zeigler and Miss Rebecca
Myers. The guests were required to
receive the refreshments with the
left hand, the right hand of each
guest being tied behind her.
These resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted:
Whereas, the need of a good hus-
band has long been felt as a press
ing necessity, and repeated efforts
have been made to induce the legis-
lature of Pennsylvania to enact a
law that would compel all bachelors
throughout the commonwealth to
marry; therefore;

BLUE JAYS HUNT SNAKES.
The Birds Have Very Strong An
tipathy Toward All Venom
Gus Reptiles.

1t is commonly supposed that all
birds, at least those of the small spe-
cies, fall easy victims to snakes. There
are stories innumerable of the manner
in which the reptiles charm the feath-
cred creatures and end by swallowing
them at gulp. But there is one bird
that is not susceptible to the fascina-
ton Of his snakeship's eye, and that
is the common blue jay, found in the
woods all over the United States, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
A gentleman who has lived for many
years in the country asserts positively
that the blue jay can speak at least
one word as plainly as human being
and that word is SNAKE" when a
boy" he said recently, 81 killed many
snakes that would have escaped but
Tor the sharp eyes of the blue jay.
Some species of reptiles will climb
small trees and bushes and trap their
prey in that manner. They feed on
small birds principally. But they
never catch a jaybi He is the snake
detective for the whole bird family.
As soon as blue jay sees snake he
sounds the alarm. You can hear him
squall quarter of mile, and he ar
tlculates the word snake as plainly
as l can. He will hop about on limb
and yell snake! snake!' in such a
thrill, excited voice that pretty soon
others of his tribe hasten to the scene,
and all join in giving the alarm. All
other birds, hearing this warning cry,
fly away, but the blue jay splits his
throat with cries until the enemy has
disappeared.
"A snake once caught blue jay by
him. The jay yelled Snake!
snake!' at the top of his voice. Several
hundred blue jays flew to his rescue
and pecked the snakes eyes out, and
literally picked him to pieces, thus saw
ing the life of their companion. Ever
since that time the blue jay, upon see
ing snake, gives the alarm and all
blue jays within hearing will hasten
to the scent and lend their voices to
the warning. This may sound incred-
ulouS, but it's true" said the narrator
in conclusion. "Not at all, but it's a
good story to forget under the cir
cumstances," added the nervous young
man, who at once proposed the con-
sideration of the relation of the jocund
grape to the doctrine of metempsy-
Ghosts.

SEES FOR sIGHTLESS EYES.
Young Woman in New York Who
Paints Word Pictures for Her
Blind Employer.

The person who is blind loses much
of the beautiful in life through the
affection. There is one woman, how
ever, in New York city who, having
means, finds a way to satisfy her
taste for knowledge of all that is
going on. This she accompIishes
with the help of a companion of the
same sex, but much younger (the
woman herself is n years old), who
takes her from place to place, ex-
planning everything.
Thus an afternoon at an art ex-
hibition results in both coming away
with an excellent idea of the most
notable canvases. The architecture
of the various new buildings is de-
scribed at length; the bindings and
illustrations of late books are laid
before the mind of the afflicted one
with much circumstance.
Even the new operate and dra-
matte events are attended with great
regularity, and the costumes, forms
and faces of the performers are de-
scribed inszthe fullest detail; the
scenery and properties are the sub
ject ofeomment, and the people in
the audience furnish material for dis
/. cussion between the acts.
I'm travelling, says the New York
Mail and Express, the companion is
the same faithful painter of pictures
for the sightless eyes of her en-
ployer, and every feature that goes
to give that variety which seems
necessary spice to living is brought
out with the utmost particularly.

DYE THEIR OWN PRODUCT.
SillIwOrms of Various Shades Devel-
OPed by Recent Experiments
in France.

The following report is made by
United States Consul Atwell at Rou-
baix: Messrs. Conte and Levrat have
recently been making experiments
with silkworms, which have resulted,
1t is said, in the production of CO.
coons of varied shades, reports the
Philadelphia Record.
The ordinary cocoon is white, yell
low, or sometimes green The ques-
ton to be solved is why different
colors should be produced by similar
species, and whether it is the direct
result of the food taken by the worm.
IT this cOlOring matter comes from
the leaves fed to the worms, Messrs.
Conte and Levrat considered that it
should be easy to color their food
artificially and thus secure different
shades of cocoons. though several
naturalists have attempted to prove
the impossibility of coloring matter
passing from the intestines of the
worm into the producing glands.
The worms which served for their
experiments were placed on branches
of privet, washed over with red.
They ate the leaves without prejudice.
and when the larvae began to spin
the cocoon the silk was a bright red.
When fed on leaves colored blue, the
silk worms produced slightly blush
silk. The species that produces or
dinarily a yellow cocoon, when fed
upon leaves colored red, brings forth
a deep orange. The original yellow,
it is said, is due to the pigment in
the leaves of the mulberry.
