PRAcTIoAL.

Some Of those who think Woman needs elevating and are trying to ele- vate her scold her because they think she is not practical enough. Such scold- CTS only show how unfit they are to deal with the delicate and yet firm ma terial of which Woman is composed. She can be sentimental enough, and she de- serves a vote of thanks because she sometimes is, but she can also be prac- tical enough. Two illustrations of her ability to see and think straight have just been given. When Mrs. George K. Davis of Wilkesbarre. who was trying to get a divorce from her husband, was asked by the opposing lawyer with an air of crushing her if she didn't intend to marry again if she was successful in getting her divorce, she replied: T should consider it my privilege" A widow in West Broomwich, England, recently obtained farthing in breach of promise action she brought against a faithless sweetheart. She put it in the window of her tobacco shop with printing warning to trusting women to beware of "Mizpah" rings, and in viting men to come and buy breach of promise cigars" and widows mite ci- garettes." The result was such a big business that the police had to stand by to keep the pavement clear while nineteen men, mostly widowers, came and offered themselves in marriage.
 Could man have handled either of these situations better? We trow not and we know not.

GOoD LITTLE RO1Ys.

Whatever the United States under takes to do it does. The first torpedo flotilla of the United States navy to cross the ocean has arrived at Cavite. There are five torpedo boat destroyers and one cruiser, which have travelled 1S.O00 miles since December 12. Many protested against taking the risk of sending them over, but Secretary Moody had confidence in Lieutenant Chandler's belief that he could go over and back without danger. They will now be attached to the Asiatic fleet for a time.
 These boats are of only about four hundred tons displacement, and it has hitherto been held that they were serviceable only as harbor boats, as protectors of the big cities which line

that will take their minds off their se- cret sorrow?''
 She responded by sending me to the spring for water, another to farm house after cream, another to gather more wood, and disposed of all of them except the octagenarian cupid at work. Mir. Greening said that he felt tired and preferred to remain sitting.
 When the cupids came, back from their various tasks they found MT. Greening sitting alone disgustedly sur veying a deserted fire on which coffee pot was boiling over.
 Where's Bill? Where's Miss Jack son?" they demanded. The octagena- rian cupid almost wept.
 ''They ran off, he replied. William said Don't let's stay with these un- dertakers the rest of the afternoon. She said all right, and they cut and ran z Why didn't you get after them?' demanded the indignant cupids.
 T couldn't get up,'' said the sorrow ing MT. Greening.
 They sat about the fire and discussed this latest act of perfidy on the part of tiAC Dll. &Upiu loIIlllH uctd just declared, with great emphasis, that the expulsion of Cupid MacGregor was the only course left the club, when that member was seen coming back. The cupids arose to greet him warmly, but he headed off remonstrances by shout ing:
 Say, you fellows have got to help me. Miss Nelson has sprained her ankle running away
 Miss Neilson,' exclaimed the cupids. Where is Miss Nelson"
 Over here by the fence" said Bill.
 The astonished young men followed him across the field to the spot where Miss Jackson sat, dejected but smiling.
 Bill" said Cupid Small sternly, you said Miss Nelson"
 This is Miss Neilson," " replied the un- blushing Bill
 "What?" exclaimed the astonished cupids.
 T didn't want to be introduced to you as the fancee of Billie,'' explained the young woman, blushing. "So we played this little game on you. I wanted you to get acquainted with me personally first, and afterwards of ficially. Now will you help carry me to the train, please. Chicago Tribune.

our big expanse of coast from tle At lantic to the Pacific, and as such they were deemed valuable adjuncts to a squadron of battleships and cruisers, to be used principally to guard against attacks by torpedo boats, and to act as tenders to fagships. This latest ex- pertinent in sending number of them to the Philippines has, however, greatly extended their usefulness. They will, lit is expected, prove of the greatest value in our colonial possessions in the Pacific, as they are possessed of great speed, have fairly strong battery and are Of such light draught as to make the rivers of Luzon and the other isl- ands of the group easily navigable.
 Good work. If it is necessary we can send over destroyers of the destroyers.

LOOKING AHEAD.

The managers of the Pennsylvania railroad look ahead Sc they are en- gagged in planting locust trees with a view to supplying cross-ties in the fu- ture. Last fall 5O,O0O trees were plant led at Conewago, Pennsylvania, and |now as many more are being planted Next fall, it is said. the company will plant 100000, and in the following lspring 650000. The forest will cover | three square miles, and, it is estimated, will furnish 5000,000 ties within twen- ty-five years. This is an excellent work and is evidence of wise and far-sight- ed policy. The Pennsylvania company lis going about the work in the right way Large areas of rough land, suit able for the purposes of a forest, can be obtained at slight cost, and a for est once grown will continue, under proper management, to yield ties and |perpetuate itself indefinitely. Careful trimming from the time the young trees begin to grow will train them into the proper shape, and thus a single tree
 will yield more ties than those which have no pruning. The Pennsylvania company has also selected the very best tree for the purpose. The locust is one |of the most rapid growing of the hard
 wood trees, and one locust tie will prob |ably outlast a half dozen of oak or
 chestnut. In fact, the locust is regard ed as the most durable of all our na-
 tive woods, and a railroad track laid upon locust ties would be almost as per- manent as if the ties were of iron.
 This is a good example It is to be hoped that New Haven will initiate it
 at least to the extent of planting elm
 trees enough to continue to justify the
 name Elm City.

The wise Gnorne.

Within deep and darksome wood there lived a learned gnome, And in an ancient saucepan he made his cosey home. His name was so impressive it filled every one with awe Twas Diomed Diogenes Demosthenes De Graw. His fame for wisdom was so great that even passing birds Would stop and listen eagerly to Dio- meds wise words. One day two little jub -jub birds were walking by that way. They paused and said: "Oh, Diomed, do teach us something. pray"

fence, and was considerably embar- rassed in his movements for the rest of the afternoon, but no one paid a great deal of attention to him.
 Cupid MacGregor and Miss Jackson were surprised to discover Cupid Will Hams bursting in on their retreat, and were still more surprised when his yod- ling brought the entire club rushing up from various points of the compass, Miss Jackson was making coffee over a wood fire and Cupid MacGregor was stretched on his back reading "Endy- mion''
 Well, I say. fellows" calculated Bill, as they gathered around him. Mir. Greening immediately seating himself on the ground, ''of course you are well come, but why didn't you let us know you were coming and we'd have had grub enough for all of you
 Never mind, Billie.' said Miss Jack sno, shaking hands all around. "of course they are welcome, and there's coffee and sandwiches enough for all. You won't mind drinking out of two cups all around, will you?"
 We should say not" exclaimed the cupids, but Cupid Norris turned aside to groan over the Billie" with which the girl addressed MacGregor. He put aside the ''Endymoin." and Miss Jack son busied herself with the coffee pot.
 The cupids found that their feelings on the subject of MacGregor's perfidy were overcoming them. They could see the young woman seemed absolutely ignorant of the existence of Miss Neil son. They there were also Wilson s emotions to consider. For as Cupid Small expressed it, Wilson was "all in'' on the subject of Miss Jackson.
 On account of these feelings they sat about in a melancholy circle and watch ed Bill and Miss Jackson with lugu- brious expressions.
 Whats the matter with you, peo- ple?" asked MacGregor finally. You act as if this were a funeral'
 I've are grieved, William said Cupid Small tenderly, i've are grievous- ly grieved.'
 What about?" asked MaeGregor.
 About you.'
 "Oh, cheer up," replied the unfeeling MT. MacGregor, Miss Jackson can't you give these fellows something to do

BarrER TIMES Iv INDIA.

India has had so much trouble lately that it is cheering to notice that her misfortunes are decreasing. The com paratively prosperous condition of the country has been the subject of many congratulations addressed to Sir Ed ward Law, the financial secretary of the viceroy's council. A surplus of nearly two and three-quarters millions sterling was reported. An increase in land revenue proved the gradual dis appearance of the effects of famine. The receipts from opium even exceeded the estimates by million and quar- ter while the profits on the coinage of rupees were nearly two million and a figures were the railroad receipts, which exceeded the estimates by eleven hundred thousand pounds. This is said to be the result of normal development, and is held to be sure sign that the Ha-lfeS are peSlhhlns as idsl to dppls- ciate the railroads and use them. Hitherto there has always been a strong party of Anglo-Indians which has maintained that all money expend- ed upon railroads instead of irrigation has been money wasted. The present figures are considered to be sufficient answer to that argument, and liberal provision for railroad extension has been made for the coming year.
 If the English make lot of money out of India and at the same time keep the Hindoos from starving their work will be noble one.

Manuel Guavesi. who has been for five years at the head of the Yaqui rebels in Sonora, Mexico, and who in that time has instigated many upris- ings, first in one section, and then in another, is dead. Guavesi was discov- cred among the prisoners taken by Captain Barron in an engagement with hand of savages near Batomote, and was immediately taken out and shot It was Guavesi who was in command of the Yaqui force which ambushed and almost annihilated a whole company of the Twentieth battalion near Zamorata in the rebellion of two years ago. He was in practical command of all the hostile Yaauis in Sonora and exercised great influence over those Indians who worked on the ranches, many of them labering just long enough so that they could store away arms and ammunition to be used when they joined the upris- ing. Guavesi had secret means of communication by which he reached the Yaquis everywhere in the State. His capture and execution will be the death of their cause.

Thomas A. Edison offers this expla- nation of his ability to do the enormous amount of work he performs: I eat just about pound of food per day three meals, but just enough to nourisf the body. My diet consists of meat, veget ables, eggs or anything else that I want, but in small quantities. People eat and drink far too much. Indeed, I know of men and women who are food drunk all the time. I hardly ever take any outdoor recreation, but I live ab stemiously, as my father did before me. If people would diet themselves and drop drugs many common ailments would disappear.
