ALL ARE FEMININE
RULES FOR NOUNS WHICH HAVE
UNPLEASANT MEANING.
Bachelor Professor Points Out Con-
spicuous Lack of Calamity Among
rammarians-Point the Weaker
Sex Seems to Have Overlooked.

"You know" said the bachelor pro-
fessor to group of male friends
there is rule by which to distin-
guish the gender of certain class of
German, Latin and French words
which many a writer of text books OF
these languages must have observed.
The rule, in fact, applies to all Ian
guages. The rule is so obvious that
at first thought it seems curious that
it is not put into the grammars, but
at second glance one sees the reason.
The professors see the violent disturb
ance which the weaker sex would GER
tainly raise. And, to be frank, have
never given it to my classes for the
same reason.
"The rule, as have put it together.
goes something like this: All nouns
which have meaning of horror,
fright, terror, awfulness, desperation,
in fact all nouns whose meaning indi-
Gates something undesirable, are with
but a few exceptions placed in the
feminine gender Here are just few
examples in German: Die Hole,
hell; die Schlacht, meaning battle;
die Langeweile, boredom die Rache,
revenge; die Furcht fear; die Armut,
poverty. Here are some Latin exam
pies: Incursio, meaning raid; con-
jurito, conspiracy; turba, mob;
caedes, murder; exsequiae, funeral.
In French the rule is borne out:
L'amertume, meaning bitterness; la
bataille, battle; colere, anger; de-
route, defeat; la desolation, despair.
And examples ad finitum prove the
rule.
THE rule is so true that the knowl-
edge of it is of vast aid to any who
are studying a language. | think it is
wrong that the professors are afraid
to place it in their grammars, for the
rule comes in so handily. 1t has help
ed me out many time, especially in
examinations, for discovered it when
was boy taking up languages.
Now | do not want you to think
was ever disappointed in love because
of the way | speak about this matter.
But, curiously enough, in the myths
of the ancients they always speak of
the most frightful creatures and ami
mails as of the feminine gender. Per-
haps it was because the men had the
naming of them. There are the hor-
rible monsters, the Gorgons and the
Graeae MeduSa was so frightful that
whoever looked upon her was instantly
turned to stone. Hecate represented
the darkness and terror of night. Gree
turned people into swine. The Sirens
sang so beautifully that seamen madly
flung themselves into the sea to their
own destruction. All were females
And there were many more.
"Of course, there are some very
good and beautiful women in these
myths Yet whenever the ancient
wanted a really horrible monster his
imagination made it up out of terri
BILE reptiles and fierce animals and
called it of the female gender"

Ancient Indian Observatory.


At Jeypore, the pleasant, healthy
capital of one of the most independent
States of Rajputana, India, is the fam
Gus Jautra, or observatory, the largest
of the five built by the celebrated
royal astronomer, Jey Sing, the found
er of Jeypore, who succeeded the Ra.
jas of Amber in 1893.
Chosen by Muhammad Shah to re.
form the calendar, his astronomical
observations were formulated in
tables which corrected those of De la
Hire. He built five observatories-at
Delhi, Benares, Muttra, Ujjain and
Jeypore.
1t is not under cover, but an open
court yard, full of curious and fan
tastic instruments invented and de-
signed by him. They have been allow
ed to go out of repair, and many of
them are now quite useless, it being
impossible even to guess what pur'
pose they served in the wonderfully
accurate calculations and observations
of their inventor, but the dial, gno
mons, quadrants, ETC., still remain OF
great interest to astronomers.-Scien'

demonstration on the part Of the

FORMS OF DISEASE GERMS.
Harmless Varieties May Suddenly
Chance Their Nature.

1t is common belief that the germs
of disease flourish only in the human
organism, and that, if we could once
eradicate an infectious malady, 1t
would stay eradicated. 1t now seems
very probable that this is untrue. Ac-
cording to view held wholly or par
TALLY by many Psychologists, and
strongly upheld by Prof. Bodin, dis
ease germs are only accidentally viru-
lent, their normal existence being
what is called "saprophytic," that is,
independent of any other organism
When one of these harmless varieties
changes its nature so as to become
parasitic, we have new disease. OBJ
servation has shown that many kinds
of bacteria are very unstable, and are
constantly forming new varieties. 1t
is possible, therefore, that potential
germs of typhoid, lockjaw, or con.
sumption may be growing harmlessiy
about us, to assume, virulent para
site life at some future time.-Lon.

Mrs. Pinkham' Standing Invitation.
Women suffering from any form OF
female weakness are invited promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to woman; thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume OF
experience which she has to draw from,
it is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. She asks nothing in
return except your goodwill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
II she does not take advantage of this
generous offer of assistance.

The Brave Wooden uck.

It is unusual to see a woodchuck
drive dog; it is usually reversed, and
the chuck takes to his hole, to be dug
out by the dog.
A Phillips canine followed his mis-
tress. who was on drive through the
back towns of Phillips the other day,
and after driving off all the hens from
the farms along the road, he came upon
a woodchuck near the road. He barked
with Joy at the sight Of that strange
animal, and with one leap he landed in
front Of the woodchuck.
Then ne stopped-there was some
thing in the woodchuck's eye that in.
dicated there might be serious trouble.
The cog discovered it, and backed
away to safety, and, strange to state,
the woodchuck followed him: followed
him until the poetry was all out OF the
experience and the fun was all gone.
Finally, the dog acknowledged his de-
feat by dropping his tail and starting
for Phillips at a very fast pace.-Ban'

den as if the evil one possessed the
reins There was-there could be-
no more doubt. It was Bolter and his
gang.
Ernest's first thought was for the
men scattered hopelessly over the val
ley: then Of the women and children
in the stockade, defenseiess and as
yet unconscious of their danger; then
of the cattle. All, the cattle! Putting
spurs to his horse, he dashed to the
corral gates, tore them wide open, and
then flew to the rear of the inclosure.
and, shouting like a maniac, swung his
coat in the air above his head. For one
instant 5000 heads were in the air.
The next, four times as many hoofs
went laundering down the valley IN
a hopeless stampede. A railroad train
would not have stopped that rush.
Nothing could withstand or check it.
The advancing horsemen drew rein
for a moment. astonished at the COM
motion. Then, as the full sense OF
their danger burst upon them, they
turned about and fed helter-skelter
for their lives. Desperate men they
were. and only desperate riding could
save them.
When the cowboys had returned the
noise and dust had died away, and the
desperadoes were disorganized and
scattered. Here was the ranchmen's
chance, and so we'll did they improve
it. thanks to their quick habit Of think
ing and acting in an emergency, that
Bolter left nearly half his gang pris-
oners in the hands of their intended
victims.
Cowboy skill soon rounded up the
scared and scattered cattle. The
scout? Poor fellow, he had kept his
last watch. Boilers sharpshooters
had surprised him at the post Of duty.
And Ernest? We'll, week later,

story of Ernest's exploit, and immedi-

him East to school. He graduated
with high honors, and not many years
later became the prosperous owner OF

cool-headedness had saved from Bolter
and his desperadoes.

and Fifteen Wounded-Renegade
Leader and His Followers
Are Surrounded.

Advices from Manila, under Mon
days date, state that fierce fighting
has been going on the last two weeks
on the island of Jolo, between the
outlaw Moro chief, Pala, with 600
well armed foil overs, and troops un'
der the personal command OF Major
General Leonard Wood. Pala's losses
thus far are 800 killed( while those
of General Wood are seven killed and
fifteen wounded. Pala and his re-
naming followers, in accordance with
Moro tradition, prefer death to cap
ture.
General Wood, with detachmenS
from the fourteenth cavalry, the
seventeenth, the twenty-second and
the twenty-third infantry and con-
stabulary scouts, have driven Pala and
bis followers into a swamp which has
been surrounded.
Pala was a noted slave trader and
warrior when the Americans occupied
the islands. Later he escaped with
his followers to the island Of Pula
Sekar, near Borneo.
One of Pala's leaders deserted and
took refuge in the British settlement
at La Had. Pala, discovering his
whereabouts, landed with a follow
ing and demanded Of the British mag
istrate that he turn the deserter over
to him. The demand was not COM
Piled with, and Pala ordered a mas
sacre. twenty-five persons, including
several Britons, were killed. Pala es-
caped to the island Of Jolo and or
ganized the present uprising.
It is reported that the Borneo au-
thorities requested General Wood to
apprehend Pala, dead or alive, and
turn him over to them.
