RELY ON YOURSELF.

Nothing better could happen to
the young man, who has the right
kind of grit, than to be thrown on
the world and his own resources. A
well-to-do judge once gave his son
$1,000, and told him to go to college
and graduate. The son returned at
the end of the first year, his money
all gone, and with several extrava-
CANT habits. At the close of the va
cation the judge said to his son:
Well, William, are you going to
college this year,"
Il have no money, father"
But I gave you $1,000 to grad
rate on"
1T is all gone, father
Every we'll, my son, it is all l
could give you; you can't stay here:
You must now pay your own way In
The world"

chIeaoo,s Five Maiden Aunts.

According to William Hard, in The
American Magazine, the city of Chi
cago has five maiden aunts. Mr.. Hard
says that these women boss Chicago,
very much to Chicago's advantage.
These aunts, who are bosses. are
Margaret A. Haley, Mary Mcdowell.
Julia G. LAthrop, Jane Adams, and
DR.. Cornelia DeBey. Miss Haley was
of course, the instigator Of the fran
chise tax fight, and is leader in the
municipal ownership movement. Miss
Mcdowell Is. a trade-union organizer
among women. Miss Lathrop, single
handed, reformed conditions in the
charitable institutions of Illinois. Miss
Adams, perhaps the best citizen of
Chicago, is the head OF Hull House.
DR.. DeBey, a physician by profession,
is a lively member OF the Board of
Education.
That looks like formidable array
Of aunts. Mr.. hard is right. With
FIVE aunts who mean business Chi
cago ought to be able to keep out of

AN AMUSING EXPERIMENT.

A simple Kaleidoscope may be made
by any boy or girl by taking a
straight lamp chimney-an argand
one is best-and painting the outside
of 1t back. II you make a pinhole
in a piece of paper and hold it at
one end and look at it through the
other it will appear as number Of
circles of light. 1t is the cylindrical
surface that reflects and causes this.
II now you fasten two pieces of glass
at one end of the chimney, placing
between them bead and bright col
ored bits of glass so that they may
move as you turn the chimney you
will have as good kaleidoscope as
you would care to buy.

The Faithful nrudne


The world would sadly miss the
faithful drudge. If the new fashions
of education and the new stimulus of
competition among women are to
abolish her species, many of the wheels
of life will move more heavily. The
kitchen, the shop, the hotel and the
factory need her. Indeed, one does not
see what they will do without her.
For herself, emancipation might be
benefit, although one who has watch
ed the look Of contentment on the face
of some faithful drudge may even
doubt that Many an achieving and
ambitious girl might envy the spirit
which beams from the eyes of some
woman whose toll seems dull and
ceaseless.
The drudge Is not necessarily the
unwilling slave. The woman who her
self chooses humble work and does 1t
well has the same serene satisfaction
in her task which comes to artist or
to queen. The maid OF all work who
is at the beck and call of every mem
Der Of the household may be far more
useful than her mistress, and she may
be happier, too.
A few years ago there died a wom-
an who for more than twenty years
had sat In a corner Of the kitchen of a
great institution and pared potatoes
from morning till night. She was hap
py in her work. She took pride in her
skill. Visitors passing through the
kitchen stopped to watch her swift
fingers. She died with consciousness
of having done well the task set be-
fore her. Might not one envy her
faithful doing Of the appointed task
with more reason than one envies
wealth with its restlessness or power
with its perils?-Youth's Companion.

Men, Women and Meals.

When men suppose that dinner goes
on whether they are at home or not
they labor under a curious miscom-
ception. Arthur Pendenys, writing
about this melancholy fact, declares:
Some one once said that an ordinary
woman's favorite dinner Is an egg in
a drawing-room. All women have a
passion for something on tray. TO
the masculine mind things on a tray
are unsatisfying, but to the feminine
body they embody the very mama
from heaven" It is easy to under
stand that Arthur Pendenys or any
other masculine mind might have
trouble in comprehending the why and
wherefore of this debilitated taste,
but no woman would be at loss to
explain it. 1t comes from the fatigue
which woman suffers as the result Of
her colossal task Of feeding man. To
nourish the human race Is the appoint
ed work of woman. At the very in
ception of life this Is her labor, and
never can existence be so fine, so free,
so heroic or so beautiful that she must
not pause three times day-or more
to bend her mind to the menu that
shall please her lord. She has been
accused of writing no epics; it is said
that she is incapable Of composing an
oratorio. of designing cathedral or
conceiving an heroic statue or paint
ing a picture Of the first quality. The
retort Is that she might have done
something Of the kind IL the men had
not been hungry SO frequently and SO
mistakenly. To be the nourisher OF
the human race is an undertaking 20
prodigious that 1t is q marvel that the
mere evaporation Of being chained to
the larder has not made fiends or
klunatids out OF womsn--&nd from

Typesetting by Tel :

A young Italian named Cava, who
invented method of typesetting by
telegraph, may receive honor in his
own country but is not likely to
make fortune there. His device is
simple in principle. An instrument
of the kind used to record messages
on the familiar ticker is connected
with a monotype machine and makes
perforations on the paper band. AL
though experiments with the Cava
machine are said to have been sue
cessful, Italian newspapers cannot
use it because the Government for
bids private wires. The Unionist.

ton of a track of 10000 acres, Santa
Gertrudes Ranch, in southwest Texas,
already reputed to he the largest es.
tate in the world owned by private
individual, was increased to the i'm
mense proportions of 1000 square
miles, or 1.2S0,000 acres.
AS an aid to the comprehension Of
these dimensions some comparisons
may be found useful. The area OF
Rhode Island, exclusive of the waters
of Narragansett Bay, comprises 673,.
900 acres of just trifie more than one
half the area of Santa Gertrudes
Ranch. The area of Delaware, exclu-
sive of water, is 1,254,000 acres, or
25,600 acres smaller than Santa Ger
trudes. Texas constitutes one-eleven-
tn OF the area Of the United States;
yet if the Lone Star State were to be
cut up into ranches the size of Santa
Gertrudes there would only be land
enough to make 1872.
Santa Gertrudes Ranch was found
ed in 1853 by Capt. Richard King, a
former Mississippi River pilot, who,
with his friend, Capt. Mifflin Kennedy,
had charge of the transport service on
the Rio Grande which supplied Gen
eral Taylor's army during the Next
can war. Capt. Kings ambition was
to possess the largest and best con-
Quoted ranch in Texas; but he died
twenty years ago, after accommodating
100000 acres. The property was left
to his widow, Mrs. H. M. King, who
turned the entire management over to
her son-in-law, r. ]. Kleberg, law
yer, who was born and brought up
within $50 miles of the ranch. Under
Mr. Kleberg's management the acre
age has been increased more than fifty
percent.-Harper' Weekly.
