M EMS WAYS.
Some of the Foolish Things Laid at
 the Door of Masculinity.

Ever watch q man when he takes a chalf? He'll move it- -every, time even if it's only an inch. He wouldn't sit. in 1t just where 1t was for the world. Watch him next time and see if he doesn't move 1t. A woman will seat herself without touching the chair-a woman is more philosophical, anyhow.
 Men are queer creatures, as everyone knows. A man will always stir his coffee before drinking it. This is very foolish--he should taste 1t first to see if it needs stirring.
 Few men open their personal core spondence without looking at the post marks to see the time of posting. Women on the other hand tear open the envelope at once; they are in too much of hurry to waste any time.
 When a man puts on his hat he al- most always looks inside 1t first. What he expects to see remains mystery, but he looks for it--all the same.
 He subjects the point of his pen to the same careful scrutiny before com mencing to write letter. A woman starts right off-jabs her pen in the inkpot and straightway begins to scrb- ble as if her life depended on 1t.
 It Is the man who reads with his back to the light, holding his book in one hand. Herein lies wisdom. A woman rests her book on the table and leans both elbows thereon. But the foolishness of the mans act lies in the fact that he is seeking comfort and seldom takes this position because it is the most scientific one. Of course, he finds 1t isn't comfortable--his arm aches after the first ten minutes, where upon he puts his book down and re- marks that he is going out.
 It is the man who lets out secrets not by telling them, but by ill-timed silences. He does worse-by refusing to gratify the curiosity of his question: CTS he invariably causes them to jump at conclusions much more damaging than the truth of the matter.

Smallest Engine in the World.


 "'Tiny Iim,' as I have named this smallest of all engines" writes T. H. Robinson in Technical World Nigga zine, lis made of gold and steel, and Is so small that common housefly seems large in comparison. It fits easily into the smallest p short cartridge, balance wheel and all. It weighs just four grains complete, that Is about the weight of a common match. It takes l2O such engines to weigh one ounce, and 1920 to weigh one pound-3,S40, GOO engines equal one ton.
 ''The engine bed and stand are of gold. The shaft runs in hardened and ground steel bearings inserted ill the gold bed. These bearings are counter bored from the inside to form q self oiling bearing. The fy-wheel has a steel center and arms, with Il gold rim 1; and this part (the complete wheeD weighs 1 grain.
 "The cylinder is of steel with octa. gonal base highly polished. The stroke Is 1-3Z or an men pore, 3-lUO or an inch, 17 pieces are used in the con. struction of this engine. %
 "The feed is through the gold base, which is hollow. The speed of this en, zine is G,000 revolutions per minute. When running 100 per second, no mo ton is visible to the eye, but 1t makes a note like the noise of mosquito caused by the vibrating piston-rod. ''
 "The horsepower is 1-40S,0OO of one H. P. Compressed air is used to run these engines, and it may be of interest to note that the amount required to make the large engine hum can easily be borne on the eyeball without wink ing"

SPIDERS THAT CATCH BIRDS.
Native of CeylOn Mountains Shares
 Prey of Some Size.

Far up in the mountains of Ceylon there is a spider that spins web like bright, ycllowish silk, the central net of which Is five feet in diameter. while the supporting lines. or guys, as they are called. measure sometimes ten or twelve feet. The spider seldom bites or stings. but should any one try to catch him bite he will and though not venomous his jaws are as powerful as q birds beak.
 The bodies of these spiders are hand somely decorated, being bright gold or scarlet underneath, while the upper part is covered with the most delicate slate-colored fur.
 So strong are the webs that birds the size of larks are frequently caught therein and even the small but power full scaly, lizard falls a victim. A writer says that he has often sat and watched the yellow monster-measur- ing, when waiting for his prey with his legs stretched out fully six inches striding across the middle of the net and noted the, rapid manner in which he winds his stout threads round the unfortunate captive.
 He usually throws the coils about the head until the wretched victim is first blinded and then choked. In many un- frequented dark hooks of the jungle you come across skeletons of small birds caught in these terrible snares. Pear sons Weekly. 3f

The Lone. Star State.


 Tourists in Texas are made to feel that they are the personal guests of each man, woman and child.
 It is on the great cattle ranges of west Texas that one finds the typical cowpuncher. Often I joined cowboy outfit" at their grub" wagon at the roundup The linen with the bark on" would fasten bit of meat on sharp. 'ened stick and hold it over the camp fire to broil-and invite me to do the same. Meantime there was hot coffee and the best hot biscuit, seemingly, in the world. That was real living Then the boys would tell me stories of Texas. Once at a cowboys camp my wife was with me. "Thank you for being 'here," said one of the boys, addressing my hearth partner. You see," he added, you save me a, lot of cussin by being here, for l never cuss before my father or women folk. ."-Four-Track News.

A Happy Thought.

A well-known Boston writer tells, with glee, of neat sally on the part of his 9-year-old son, who is pupil in a pri- vate school at the Hub.
 Apropos of something or other, the teacher had quoted the line, "In the bright lexicon of youth there's no such word as fail"
 At this point the lad mentioned arose and politely made known his desire to offer an observation with reference to the maxim.
 Tt occurs to me, sir" said he, that if such be the case, it might be advisable to bring the omission to the attention of the publishers of the lexicon. -Harper's Weekly.

Underneath the Starry Flag,
 Civilize 'em with Krag, And return
 us to our own beloved homes." That
 was the song the soldiers used to sing in the Philippines. and General
 Wood seems to have taken the ad-
 vice to heart in dealing with the
 Moros to judge by the dispatch to the state department this week, says our Washington correspondent. Six
 hundred Moros, alleged to be a band of outlaws, are reported to have
 been wiped out to a man with small-
 CT but still considerable loss on the
 American side. Whether the anihil- ated band were merely cattle thieves
 or people with a real or fancied grievance will never be definitely known, for they are all too dead to testify, and their friends, if they have any. will paint them all as martyrs and their enemies as the exact oppo- site. General Wood, who command ed at this slaughter of the natives.
 reports that the whole of the island of Jolo is quiet. It very we'll might
 be after that sort of lesson. Fossil
 ply that way of dealing with the na- tives may be the most humane after all. They have been used to a rule
 heretofore in which any display of leniency was sign of timidity. and possibly 1t may take some harsh les sons to teach them that the United States is not as whole that sort of country. It is rather hard on the natives. but as long as we have the islands we will have to handle them or else they will promptly handle us. or at least such of us as accept the generous offer of the government to go out there and get shot for sI3 per month. The government, if it wants to administer a course of training of this sort, is fortunate in having Gen eral Wood there. He is a gentleman who does not "shun the gentle lime light nor si1irk the public way" He Is a good fighter. no one would deny that, but rather too prone to hunt for trouble around the corner in- stead of merely meeting 1t half way. There will be a lot of talk in con gress about this last piece Of ''bru- tality." It probably was brutal and may or may not have been necessary. But it is safe to say that any con gressional talk will end in talk and in ten days the mere fact that 500 MorOs have been permanently 'spacf- fed wiIl have been forgotten in the hurry Of more urgent and practical before congress.

Senator From Utah Accused of PolyG.
 amy by Minister.
 NEW YORK, March 1.-The Rev. N. E. ClemensOn of Logan, Utah, who is in this city arranging an itinerary for the Presbyterian board of missions, has come to the front with positive statements that replace the rumors long current that United States Senator Shoot is polygamist.
 Mir. ClemensOn names two women besides the acknowledged Mrs. Shoot to whom he says Senator Shoot was joined in wedlock by the rites of the Mormon church. Mrs. Shoot No. 2, he says, was known before her marriage as Rose Hamilton. Mrs. Shoot No. 3, he says, is known in southern Utah as Lottie Greenwood. MT. Clemenson says he obtained the story of Rose Hamilton from her own lips. The girl, he says. met Senator Shoot when he was trav- cling with his first wife and stopped at a hotel in Utah.
 The girl said she was converted to Mormonism and accompanied the Shoots to Utah. There she was we'd ded to Shoot by the Mormon endow- ment ceremony. The bride lived at Ogden for time, then went to Fresno, where her child was born in February, 1904. -. ..~.' e..! ls '-aa-- a. sa4

 The reduction of freight rates from the west may not mean a tub to the railroad rate whale, but it is certainly very suggestive coming at this particular time. The proposed reduction in rates, which will, it is said, aggregate many millions an- Nually and will amount to approxi- mately 15 per cent, will apply first to the territory between the Atlantic seaboard and the Missouri river, and it is then expected that it will result in similar action by other groups of railroads. ."-Bridgeport Standard.
 An extraordinary miser was Father" Abey, who died the other day in Berne, Switzerland. He has been referred to by newspaper cor respondents as the most miserable miser in all Europe" Since he was 20 years of age, when he inherited a large fortune, he had lived on charity and an expenditure of 3 cents a day. He died at the age of 79 and his body was so emaciated that it resembled mummy. He left securities valued at $750,000, s100,- 900 in gold and silver coin concealed about his house and no relatives South Norwalk Sentinel.

 Who could figure it out would be able
 to make a competency at mind read ing, says an exchange. Both parties are undeniably split over it. The
 leaders on neither side want to ad-
 init this, but the thing has gone far beyond party lines and with many members beyond even the question or supporting the president or of standing together on great national issue. It is every man playing his own hand for the most part and in the confusion the railroads ought to be able to insert any old sort of pro- vision into the law and perhaps get it through with little scrutiny at the last moment. Of course the presi- dent and his close friends are stand ing staunchly by the original Hep burn bill and it is understood that they are entirely favorable to a pro-. Vlslon TOT conservatively worded court review clause. Debate will begin in earnest on Monday. At least dozen senators and represen- tatiyes will surge forward with long speeches they would like to deliver, and, failing that, would be willing to extend their remarks in the Rec ord" Everybody will want to say something and there will be at least fourteen amendments offered, some of which will receive serious consid- eration and others will be dealt with more eavalierly. The only thing certain is that the legislation, what ever it turns out to be, will not be nearly so satisfactory as the presi- dent would like to see.
