Windmills as Newspapers.

In Holland births, marriages and deaths, instead of being recorded in newspapers, are indicated by wlndmills. When a miller gets married he stops his mill with the arms of the wheel in a slanting position and with the sails unfurled. His friends, and guests ire quentiy do likewise with their mills, in token of the ceremony. To indicate q birth the wheel is stopped with the arms in a slanting position, but at a more acute angle than for marriage and with the two upper sails unfurled. Should miller die the sails of his mill are all furled, and the wheel is turned round until the arms form an upright cross, in which position they are left until after the funeral has taken place.

FORTUNES STRANGE WHIMs.
One Man Won and Lost Six Fortunes
 in His Lifetime.


 in His Lifetime.
 Nothing in real life is more grim than the way in which fortune, sought or unsought, will suddenly smile upon an inividual, and then, with equal sud denness, withdraw her favors Such cases, of course, are to be seen by scores at gambling resorts like Monte Carlo. Quite recently young Austrian officer won %115,C00 at the table in five days and lost every penny of it on the sixth.
 The vicissitudes of fortune were nev- CT more vividly illustrated than by the evidence given recently in bankruptcy case in the Sydney court. The bankrupt, mining engineer, had won and lost no fewer than six for tunes in his lifetime. Once he made $35,000 in a single week by buying mine and selling it again. So soon as Wyoming and invested it, and some $3,000 besides, in purchasing an inter- est in q copper mine. Before night came the news that the copper lode had suddenly "pinched out" The investors were beggared.
 James Addison Reavis spent more than twenty years in building up a fic- titious claim 10 12.500,0O0 acres of land in Mexico and Arizona This enormous territory was originally granted to Don Miguel q grandee of his court. by Philip V., of Spain, and still belongs to his heir, if one can be found. Reavis invented one in the shape of beautiful Mexican girl. There is no space here to detail the ingenious for geries of birth and marriage certifi- cates, the false miniatures and other evidence which this brilliant swindler prepared in order to bolster up the claims of the girl.
 MaXimilian Hershal, wealthy miser, was found one day in his wretched room dying and was carried to hospital At once he asked that his adopted daughter might be sent for. On her ar ! rival he told her that he had left her all his wealth-over $1,500000 Breath was failing him fast, but after a short pause he began to speak again, in low, broken whispers. Suddenly he fsll back and expired. He had not revealed the secret of where his bonds or cash were hidden. Search proved useless and the poor girl, wealthy for minute, went back to work for $3.75 a week.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

 He was quiet for five minutes, and then he spoke again.
 "Say, mamma, what's the reason we didn't see that moon while we were con- ing here in the carriage?"
 Donald, you mustn't talk so loud. Peo- pie will hear you."
 "Yes, but I want to know"
 "Ill tell you all about it after the play is over. You must keep quiet now, or shall have to take you out"
 That held him for nearly half an hour Then he broke loose again.
 "Mamma," he said, with inelfable dis gust, "that moon hasn't moved one bit either up or down! It's fake! !'-Chi. cago Tribune.

OCCUPATIONS FOR WOMEN.
To What Is Their Competition with
 Men in Business Leading Us TOs


 Men in Business Leading Us Tot
 Nearly five million women go to work every day, in the United States-go to paid work, whether the returns be $2 a week or $10,000 year. Sixty years ago Harriet Martineau, while visiting America, declared that she found here but seven occupations for women: teaching, needlework, taking boarders, typesetting employment in cotton mills, bookbinding and domestic service NOW there are scarcely seven occupations closed to them; they are pouring out into the world of activities, and the five millions will be six, at the next counting.
 Whether or not you or they like the change is wholly unimportant. AS someone has suggested the early eohip' pus may have resented changing into a horse and his neighbors may have greeted his development in the matter of hoofs and legs with acidly critical comment; but, when once started horseward, nothing could stop him; he had to adjust himself to the outer con ditions that demanded one concentrat- ed toe in the place of five. In the same way woman is being swept along in a great vague, irresistible wave of economic change, when she turns her face down town in the early morning.
 She will pass an alarmist uttering
 
 warning is prophetic of lost charm, lost power and lost position. One declares that presently man will cease alto- gether to support woman, if this thing goes on increasing, and then how about home and mother? The answer to that not new, but worth repeating-is that man never has supported woman. TO support means to provide with the nec- essaries of life. Who was doing the larger share of this, the man who rais- ed and sheared the sheep, or the woman who carded and spun and wove the wool, and cut and sewed the clothes -the man who shot the bird, or the woman who plucked and cooked it?- the man who provided the yarn, or the woman who knit the stockings? It is fairly even natter this support in the days when most of the human needs were worked cut under each individual roof.
 In humber homes, where the nec- essaries are bought instead of made and yet there is but one source of money, we often get a picture of a shriveling, careworn father staggering under a weight of strumming, embroid- ering spending daughters that makes us rejoice in that swelling five million at their gainful occupations. How can they do it, these kindly, careless girls and what will become of them when they have worked their victim to death? Surely some change in sys- tenn that allows such uneven burdens need not make us fear a lessening of woman's intrinsic value; she will have gained in every sense when she be- comes ashamed to rest her healthy young weight on overworked shoulders That by going to work, she competes with man and reduces his earnings is a problem for professional economists to struggle with; though it has been suggested that, as producer, she all ways has competed with man and re. duced his earnings whether she wove her own clothes or earned them with ypewriter.-Success Magazine.
