Medieval Ideas of Women.

John Nevisan, who died in Turin in
154O, stated the medieval notion OF
women in his "Sylva Nuptials," when
after remarking that the Author OF
Good had made women entirely with
the exception of her head, he added
briefly: "Permisit Deus illud facere
daemonio' Good let the devil make
that"). In the same century Jean
Raulin preached that man, composed
OF clay, is silent and ponderous; but
woman gives evidence of her osseous
origin by the rattle she keeps up" 1t
was another Frenchman, Henrion, the
orientalist, who was gracious enough
to allow woman the supremacy in one
respect at least. With minute accur'
acy he fixes the height of Noah at 1O3
feet, of Moses at 13 feet, of Hercules
at 10 feet, Of Alexander the Great and
julius Caesar at 6 and feet, respect
ively-and of Eve at 11S feet 9.7s
inches.

TOOK THE SHEEP BACK.
Collie Dog Evidently Had His own
Conception of Duty.

A story of Scotch collie is cur
rent on the Derbyshire border. says
an English exchange. A farmer In
the Peak district, having purchased
a small flock of sheep in the Low
lands, drove the flock the whole way
from Scotland to his farm in Derby
shire with the aid of a collie dog
which was lent to him by the Scotch
farmer from whom he purchased the
sheep. when you get to your home
with the sheep" said the Scotchman,
"let the dog fill his belly; then tell
him to go home" The Derbyshlre
man duly arrived at his farm with
the sheep, and was so pleased with
the collie dog and its performance
that he decided to keep it a few days
before sending it back. One day he
was away from home during the whole
of the day, and on returning in the
evening he found that the Scotch col
lie was missing, and also the flock OF
sheep. In few days tidings came
that the dog had arrived at his Scotch
home and had brought the sheep bach
with him.

The Journey to the Convict Country.
We left our friends Lang and Den
yer in company with Regan and Gold
en-, travelling toward the West. Upon
arriving at ST. Paul, which was reach
ed, as Golden supposed, without being
detected, the group was reinforced by
another gang of female domestics Of
about the shade of intelligence OF
those already being taken to the coun-
try, and embarked on board one of the
large Mississippi steamers on its jour-
ney down the river. At st. Louis the
already large crowd was further add
ed to by curious quartet; one was a
celebrated pickpocket, called 'Limpy
jim" and his "stone," "Pocketbook
Pete" who were in company with
two women of questionable character,
Dizzy Lill," a tumbled-down variety
actress, and French Fannie" a roper
in for a concert saloon.

in company with such large gang
of crooks and thus court capture, but

parted company with Lang and left
the boat.
The party threw off all restraint when

sHoT A WHITE WHALE.
Entered English Salmon Net and Was
Shot by a Fisherman.

A correspondent of the London
Daily Graphic says: A specimen OF
that somewhat rare cetacean, the
white whale, or beluga, actually en-
tered a salmon net recently at Naburn,
near York, in the river Ouse. some
thirty-five miles or so from the sea.
II made short work of the salmon
net, but one of the fishermen loaded
gun and fired at the unfortunate
whale. On the following day 1t was
found stranded in shallow water at
Cawood, not far from Selby. 1t was
then hauled up on to lorry and ex-
hibited round the countryside by It's
captors. 1t weighed ten hundred

Cure For The Blues
ONE MEDICINE THAT HAS NEVER FAILED
Health Fully Restored and the 10y OF
Life Regalned
When acheerful. brave, light-hearted
woman is suddenly plunged into that
perfection of misery, the BLUES, it is
q sad picture. 1t is usually this way:
She has been feeling "out of sorts"

for some time; head has ached and
back also; has slept poorly, been quite
nervous, and nearly tainted once or
twice; head dizzy, and heart-beats very
fast then that bearing-down feeling.
and during her menstrual period she is
exceedingly respondent Nothing
pleases her. Her doctor says: Cheer
up: you have dyspepsia you will be
all right SOON"
But she doesn't get call right" and
hope vanishes; then come the brood
ing, morbid, melancholy, everlasting
BLUES.
Don't wait until your sufferings have
driven you to despair, with your nerves
all shattered and your courage gone,
but take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound. See what it did for
Mrs. Rosa Adams. of $40 12th Street,
Louisville, KY, niece of the late Gen
eral Roger Hanson, C.S. A. She writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkharn:-

troubles, extreme lassitude, the blues,

Compound, and it not only cured my female
derangement, but it has restored me to perfevt

compensation enough and they made
themselves quite happy.
Louis Lang seems to be out OF
place in this group. He is unlike any
other individual in the gang. pas
senger paying his way into the city.
There had been just as foolish men as
he appears brought into the city be-
fore. who, for fancied security had
paid over their all, and awoke to find
that their past was but dream, and
future of toll and slavery still ahead
Of them. AS we know Lang, we know
he expects to reap some benefit from
the expenditures of his fortune (sup-
posed to have been stolen from Jim
Denver). Before his eyes were the
terrible chances he was taking. Time
and time again had his life passed in
review before him like the brief sur
vey of a drowning mani and he realiZ-
ed that he was rushing on to almost
certain doom. He had constantly in
mind these thoughts: riches or death!
Life (to him) was not worth the liv-
ing unless he obtained wealth and
fame, even if he had to enter the very
laws Of death to accomplish his pur-
pose. To look at him no one would
suppose him an extraordinary youth;
he is as much an ordinary mortal as
can we'll be conceived, yet he is a
little different. He sings and dances,
plays upon the mouth organ and tells
funny stories, even the watchful and
sober Golden has to laugh at his wit,
and each of his German cousins is in
love with him.
The journey is uneventful up to the
navigable source of the river, where
the vessel was abandoned. The party
forms a pack train and proceeds over
land. Here the party was met by a
guard Of ten rough border men, and as
many prairie schooners with six big
strapping mules attached to each
wagon. Lang, Regan and Golden, and
the other male personages were fur
nished with bronchos to ride, while
the women folks were placed in the
wagons. The whole outfit were now
furnished with defensive weapons, as
they were travelling over a dangerous
portion of the continent where might

At last there came the discharge of

the dead were out Of sight.
Two or three braves, more daring

On the third day the train was over

hail, lasting for over a day. 1t took
fully three days to rest up, and dur
ing that time they were sighted by a
rowing band of Indians who were out
after herd of stampeded cattle.
Louis Lang conducted himself nobly
in the fight which ensued. The attack
by the Indians was made by night.
The train had been on the move up
till ten o'clock at night. Just after
forming a solid circle, for protection
at night; and while all was in con-
fusion over preparing supper, while
the guards were busy with the tether-
ing of mules and rubbing down Of
stock, the charge of the Indians came.
The chief scout of the train, Cowboy
Charlie, accompanied by Lang, was
viewing the surrounding country from
the ridge, preparatory to mapping out
the next days march, when he caught
a glimpse of moving forms in the
woods on one side of the train. 1t
was this fact alone that saved the
train from total annihilation. 1t took
the scout but moment to warn his
colleagues of their impending danger.
The wagons were huddled more close
ly together, the women sheltered be-
hind an impromptu barricade of boxes
in the center, and the mules securely
picketed as far from danger as pos
sible. The charge was not made i'm

THE LINE HE DREW.
Professor Had Answer Ready for In
quiring Sophomore.


Prof. "Bilr' Bailey's recent visit to
New York recalls a story that is told
at his expense by prominent sopho-
more at Yale.
About a month ago, when everybody
was getting his spring clothes, the
professor noted with great annoyance
tat the attendance at once OF his
classes was falling off rapidly, due to
'illness." On looking up the college
records he found that there were more
absentees from that one class than
there were names on the sick list or
the entire sophomore class. A general
rounding.up followed, and as result
the attendance once more became nor
NAL.
The next week. however, fate ironi-
cally decreed that the professor HIM
self should be indisposed, and thereby
prevented from attending his classes.
The student in question called on his
instructor one afternoon, and after
little general conversation for the pro-
fessor is prince of good fellows,
and very popular with the entire uni
versity, the young man looked at him
as he lay there and said with twinkle
in his eye:
"I say, professor, just where do you
draw the line on this sick business?

moment, then appreciating the humor
of the situation, snapped back with his
