eyes, since you ask me-" said the
littla seamstress, "the rich Monroes
are relatives of ours But they are
so much better off than we that we
try to keep out of their way" Her
tone was self-respecting, even if 1t
was little hard, relates Youths Com
panion Doubtless her state Of mind
could be matched in the experience Of
thousands of American women who
have no taste for being konwn as
.'poor relations" The clinging de-
pendence Of the poor relation is rapid
ly passing away. The varied occupa-
tons open to women have done some
thing toward their emancipation.
Scarcely any woman need now beg
If she chooses to work. From keep
ing books to cleaning lamps, from
managing a house to writing Il book,
from inventing an egg beater to solic-
iting for insurance, the world is open
to her. She need not, as in the time
Of Charles Lamb. cringe and hatter
for an invitation TO dinner, ana memo
and alter the cast-of gowns of her
rich cousins to suit the changing
mode Perhaps the pendulum has
swung a little too far in the other di7
rection. A rich relation is not neces-
sarily to be despised. Self-respect
may easily become self-assertion. Even
the Old Testament puts together what
an overproud working woman might
think belonged apart, when it de-
clares: s'Wisdom is defense, and
money is a defense = The reproach
Of the phrase ''poor relations has
nearly disappeared. It would not be
strange if the contempt in the phrase

AMULETS WORN BY SAVACES
Belief in Magical Powers of Orna-
ments Held by Africans
Gold Nuggets Used.

Cowrie shells are o as amulets by
the modern savages in Africa; similar
shells were worn in Strabo's time to
keep off the evil eye.
Claws of liens are such important
amulets in Africa that they are quite
generally counterfeited
So with the teeth of jackals, which
are initiated in wood, if the real thing
is not to be had.
When gold first became known il
was regarded exactly as the stones
mentioned above. Thus the Debae, an
Arab tribe who did not work gold, but
had an abundance in their Iand, used
only the nuggets, stringing them for
necklaces alternately with perforated
stones.
Magnetic iron and hematite were par.
ticularly priced, the belief being that
the former was endowed with a living
spirit. 1t is thus clear that the use of
all objects still employed in modern
jewelry has arisen primarily from the
magical powers attributed to them, by
which they were thought to protect the
wearer, says the new theorist.

Women Who Fought.

The passionate patriotism of the Jap
anese is nothing new, FOR is the part
the women play in war to be wondered
at in view of the past history of Japan.
In this latter DAY there has been nothing
to develop Molly Pitchers among them,
but time was when the women fought in
battle not longer ago than a half CEN
fury. In the last struggle of the shotgun
against the mikado women of the
samuraf took up arms and fought like
any soldiers, while japanese women
talk with pride of Empress Jingu Kogo.
who nearly 1000 years ago led an army
into Korea, riding into battle at the head
of her troops dressed in mans clothes.
1t is the son of this empress, afterward
a mikado, who is to-day w~orshiped as
the god Of war.

|CENSUREO TEACHERS.
AND Superintendent.
New Brunswick Board of Education
Held Long Meeting to
Investigate.

New Brunswick, May s5:-one of
the longest sessions in the history of
the Board of Education or any Of its
committees was held last night, when
the Teachers Committee compelled
it's investigation of High School
affairs and took until ten minutes of
1 O'Clock yesterday morning to do it.
When the meeting was over the mem
bers felt that they had thrashed ont
the matter very thoroughly. Further
more. they arrived at the conclusion
that Principal Joslln and the teachers
we're to be censureu for the manner in
which they protested against City
superintendent Armstrong for raising
marks of High School scholars who
had been marked very low by them,
and also thought he should be CEN
sured for the method he had taken in
raising those marks.

SUPREME COUNCIL
OF ROYAL ARCANUM.
Is Now in SessiOn-Had Delightful
Outing Yeste rday-Busi-
ness Today.

Fortress Monroe, May 25:-The
delegates to the twenty-seventh an
nual convention of the supreme coun-
oil, Royal Arcanum, were on q trip to
Norfolk, Cape Henry and Virginia
Beach yesterday. The council, when
it adjourned Monday evening, did so
not to meet again until this morning,
in order that all might enjov the ex-
cursion to the points of interest yes
terday.
The Arcanumites left here at 1890
yesterday morning on a spocia |
steamer and returned late in the af-
ternoon. This trip to Virginia Beach
will close the entertainments part of
the program for tho annual meeting,
and today the actual business of the
council will be taken up.
The fight for the council next year
is waging warmly. Many Of the dele
gates have enjoyed themselves here to
the extern of desiring to return, Hnd
it is not unlikely that the council
will vote to come to Old Point again
in 1905.
Atlantic has also joined the places
bidding for the next council meeting.
The election of officers will likely
not occur until Thursday, and it now
seems probable that the council will
not adjourn sine die before Friday
evening.
1t is practically certain that W. S.
Robinson will again be elected the
supreme regent. The battleships
Texas and Mas sachusetts and the
training-ship Prairie are now anchor
ed in the roads, and many of the
delegates to the supreme council have
visited the fighters. To many of
these, coming from finland" the
battleships have proved q wonderful
sight.
