Men Afraid OF Modern Girls.
Louisville Herald

Getting more and more afraid of
the girl of the PERIOD" is the
"good-natured simple" young man
of present day activities. according
to that recherche publication, the
Gentlewoman. Womanlike. the
Gentlewoman looks with sympathy
on the young man and casts an eye of
reproval on the girl in the case.
THE modern girl is. says the Cen
tlewoman, all for being in evidence
for showing off, With all her aspi-
rations tits difficult to find a husband
for her."
What the world wants is not the
modern" or the ancient" but the
truly girlish and the womanly wom-
an, that has at all times, in every
cline and in every country, COM
PEELED love and enkindled admit
ration. The socalled modern girl
is in woful minority compared
with the genuine girl of the
day, who is modern in all respect
in which modernity is commendable
and ancient enough in all regards in
which antiquity is desirable.
AS love is blind. what can be the
use of modern" girls showing
off? And it is blind. Blind" says

"yes. because he does not like"
But blind is it by the brilliant

pressing together all the lights, all
the rays emitted from the beloved

them one sun without spots"
The world has need of good-na-
tured, but none for "good-natured
simple" young men. These the girl

MISS ALICE DOUBLE.
II Is SenOrita GOdoy the Mex

Daughter.
Lwn.hlngton Cor. ChIengo Past ]

A debt Of gratitude is due to Sen
orita Mercedes Godoy from Miss
Alice Roosevelt.
Senorita Godoy looks so much like
Miss Roosevelt that not more thar
half the people of Washington and
comparatively few strangers. car
tell the twain apart Senorita Godoy
is the debutant daughter of the
Mexican Minister. At the last " hite
House reception the Mexican CIR
appeared and all the evening she
was followed remarked upon and
stared at in a semi-polite way by the
thronging multitude which thought
she was the Presidents daughter.
The object of all this attention
speaks very little English and it is
supposed that at first she had no
idea why she was being mobbed
Finally however some one told her
and then she entered into the spirit
of the thing and carried out the part
forced upon her from sheer love of
the adventure.
Present at the reception were full
" so schoolgirls who are attending
some of the fashionable educational
institutions in Washington, They
had no thought that Senorita Merce-
des was any other than Miss Alice,
and, like the languishing maiden in
Patience" they gave themselves
over to sort of schoolgirl alteration
Some one unlikely undeceived them
late in the evening and the girl was
half angry and half fearful.
Meanwhile Miss Roosevelt in a
corner of the blue room was escap'

Hedgehog Fears no Snake.

An interesting fact about hedge
hogs that perhaps not many persons
know is that the bites of even the
most poisonous serpants have no eff
feet on them whatever. Mr.. LEM
a naturalist, once watched a fight
between hedgehog and viper and
gives most interesting description
of it. He says that when the hedge
dog came near the snake she began
1 to smell it, for the sight of these
animals is so poor that they depend

and then she seized its head with her
teeth.
In a moment the snake had freed
itself and, darting at the hedgehog,
bit it several times, but the little
animal did not seem to mind the
bites at all and when the snake was
tired out with its efforts she again
seized its head. which she ground
beneath her teeth. poisonous fangs
and all. Then she devoured almost
the whole of its body.
M. Lenze also tells of a pet hedge
hog that he kept in his house in a
large box.
Several times he put some adders
into the box, which the hedgehog
did not seem to fear at all, but at
tackled them fercely, and, as in the
case of the other. was never in the
the least affected by their poisonous
bites.

DYNAMITE FiENDS.
MexicanS Have Discovered That
<he Explosive is a Dream
Producer.
Monterey (Mcrlcol Dispatch

AhfhNbf blnp''A'hfl
An American business man Of this
city who was on visit few days
ago to mining camp situated near
here was surprised and mystified to
hear one Mexican miner say to his
companion as they came from the
depth of mine:
Come over to the cantina to-
nigA and take some dynamite with
me-"
The American Superintendent ex-
planned the invitation:
That was not an invitation to
make drink of some new brand of
liquor. as might be supposed" he
said. Those two mexicans are dy-
namight flends. They actually eat
dynamite and get drunk on the dan
gerous substance.
1t is fact that many of the Mex
lean miners of the peon class are
dynamite eaters. Ii is a vice that
is rapidly spreading to all of the min
ing camps in Mexico. J. G. Ford. q
prominent American mining man of
the Guadalupe Calvo district. said
concerning this new habit:
Users of dynamite soon learned
that it is intoxication are pleasing
while they last. beyond the most eX-
cAciating phantasies of an opium
dream. Dynamite is manufactured
for the purpose of smashing things,
and tiny but of it coursing through
the veins smashes the whole end
of care and blows dizziness into
atoms.
The dynamiteur' usually is very
dainty and exact in his method of
going about the introduction of a
height explosion into his system.
The perferred way to do this is cut
off a small piece of55 per cent 'dyna'
about the size Of a pea. This is dis
solved in a small glass of mescal or
tequile, and the draught is quaffed
down with gusto that comes from
pleasant anticipations. The perfor
mer of this trick then rolls in his
blanket and stretches himself at
length in the cool shade. 1t is said
that very soon his nerves begin to
Jingle and stranger dreams come to
him than the weird visions induced
by hash-heesh.
1.-The amount of dynamite consum-
efat an ordinary camp by those ad-
dicted to taking it into their system
in the way above described is large
that it approximately affects so guam.
tity Of that explosive required to
carry on the regular work. There
is large and increasing number of
people addicted to vice that only
the most imaginative Of persons could
have invented. 1t may not be as
suming too much to state that even
tually dynamite will be dispensed at
saloons as much as are tobacco and
alcoholic drinks, and that the dyna'
miteur' will be as distinct class as
the absintheur or ordinary boozer.

CROWDlNG THE HEN.

Agricultural Department Hires Ex-
pert to Make Her Lay More.
In the midst of its activities on meat
inspection, pure food, grain inspection
and like large matters the department
of agriculture is finding some time to
devote to the American hen. says Il
Washington special dispatch To the
New York Globe. Secretary Wilson
sees great possibilities in the national
hen. He has set on foot some expert
ments to make her even more valuable
than now.
Statisticians do not usually make
much of the plain, everyday chicken IN
figuring on the wealth and resources of
the nation, but last winter Secretary
Wilson gave some figures that opened
every ones eyes. He showed that the
farmers hen was rapidly becoming Il
worthy companion TO his COW and that
the annual production of eggs is now
no less than 10000, 100000.
What the department of agriculture
intends to do now is to test the food
of hens and find out on what they
thrive best aud lay the most eggs.
POultrymen have long quarreled over
moist or dry. The introduction of the
hopper feeding system has also caused
doubt and uncertainty as to whether 1t
is effective.
Robert K. SlOcum, an expert, has
been added to the staff of the animal
husbandry office to give his attention
to settling these problems and others
connected with poultry raising. He
will feed fowls ON different diets and
watch the results. 1t is hoped to show
that by using certain diets the egg
crop can be materially increased. Con
sidering there are 2O,OOOOOO,O00 eggs
produced In a year, If Mr.. Slocum can
find some diet that Is especially suited
to the hen he may increase the egg
crop per cent. This would mean a
billion more eggs in a year the country
over, something the agricultural de
partment believes is worth striving
for.

ried to the ballots. He also claims
that the democrats are likely to con-
rol the legislature as a result of late
returns.
1t may be depended upon that the re-
publican machine in Maine resorted to
debauching the ballot boxes if it seem
ed they could not succeed without do
ing so. The machine there was in
close quarters and was desperate. The
trusts and monopolies of the country
were desperate also. 1t wouldn't do
for their great promoter and protector,
the republican party, to lose the cleo
ton there The air trusts and monopo-
lies breathe is pregnant with fraud and
corruption. That they should resort to
fraud and corruption to carry the Maine
election is a reasonable presumption.
1t is to be hoped that the charges of
fraud and corruption will be thorough
ly sifted and that no guilty man shall
be permitted to escape.
