Sexes Being Equalized.

Sidney Smith, in writing upon the
subject many years ago, declared that
nature had been just as bountiful to
one sex as to the other-that educa-
ton makes the only difference. This
view is becoming widely accepted in
our day. Let man either provide for
woman or give her a chance to pro-
vide for herself" wrote Mrs. Jameson
a generation ago. Man has since
needed this advice. The chance has
been given her.

n. laughed with only 4 sliebtIv con.

He laughed with only a slightly con.
cealed bitterness. From political en-
tanglements-yes said he. But not
from social tolls. Ever since have
been in national life, my wife and
have held ourselves socially aloof, be-
cause those with whom we would
naturally and even inevitably asso-
ciate would be precisely those who
would some day beset me for immun-
tiles and fayors And how can one
hold to course Of any sort Of justice,
II doing so means asSailing all ones
nivnds and their friends and rela-
tives? For who are the offenders?
They are of the rich, OF the successful,
of the clever, Of the socially agreeable
and charming And how can one en-
force justice against ones dinner com
panions-and in favor of whom? OF
the people, voiceless, distant, I'M
known to one Personal friendship on
the one side; on the other, an abb
straction."
Il should not class you among those
likely to yield many inches to the so
cial bride" said l.
That Is pleasant, but not candid"
replied he with his simple directness.

to know that the social bribe is the
arch-corrupter, the one briber whom 1t

Pleasant Antisept1c.

Antiseptic methods are becoming
popular with the country BARRIERS in
England. A man dropped into viii
lage shop the other day and was
shaved. Then came a wash by a
sponge whose odor suggested the
morgue. The victims face was burned
like fire. What on earth have you
got on that sponge?" he demanded.
"Ah," answered the villager, proudly,
waving the sponge in the air that's
carbolic acid. It's so safe!"

Periodic Opthalma.

Quite frequently horses will go
blind at times and then seem to be
all tight for while. but the trouble
returns for short time again. This
is called periodic opthalma or moon
blindness. Give four drains of iodide
OF potassium night and morning for
Ave days and keep the eyes covered
with damp cloth.

Exnloration bv balloon.

The value of the balloon for the ex-
ploration of the upper atmosphere has
long been recognized, and in France,
at least, under the direction of M.
Hermite, a series of experiments were
carried out which proved to be not
only interesting but of the first inn
portance. OF course, these exploring
balloons carried no passengers, and
one reached the unprecedented altitude
of ten miles.

Measuring Distance by Smoke.

The boatmen of Holland measure
distances by smoking. The distances
between two named points is ex-
pressed as so many pipefuls of to-
bacco, meaning, of course, that one
would roke so many pipes while
covering the distance mentioned.
Hollands colonies are sixty times as
big as the mother country.

How the Banana is Utilized.

The producing power of the ba-
mana is forty-four times as great as
that of the potato. The dried fruit
is readily converted into nutritious
-four; 1t may also be manufactured
into sausages; beer can be made
from It; while the skin can be turned
into cloth, and the juice made to do
service either as ink or vinegar.

entirely unauthorized. The president
refused to discuss the question of fu-
sion in New York. but he let 1t be
known that the step was taken withou
his knowledge.
During his Journey, beginning on
September 20, the president has visited
eleven states, namely: Maryland
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Arkansas, Louisiana. Mississippi,
Tennessee and Virginia. He made set
speeches at Canton, Ohio; Keokuk,
Iowa; st. Louis, Mo-; Cairo, I'LL. and
Memphis, Tenn. On his return he
made n speech at Vicksburg and two
at Nashville, which were rendered
memorable because they, as southern
cities, gave him in each case an ovation
that could not be outvied for enthus-
iasm in the north. More than a dozen
short speeches were made. n they
were distributed all along the route, in
Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri. Louis
lana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Vir-
ginia.
Probably the most important devel-
opment of an Industrial nature which
the trip produced is to be found In the
fact that without committing himself
to any Industrial scheme, the president
has placed himself at the head OF the
movement for a ship hanne in the
Mississippi and taken the position that
1t is a work of national importance and
should be fostered by the federal gov
ment.

Expresses Delight and Satisfaction
With His Entire Trip.

Washington, Oct. 24.-President
Roosevelt cached the White House
from his southern trip al 4 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon, exactly on
schedule time. To those h met the
president here it was noticeable that
he had added several deeper shades to
during the summer ont at Oyster
Bay. The president took no pains to
conceal his delight at getting home.
and was markedly cordial in his greet
ing to tn who had gathered in the
trainshed to meet him, among whom
were General Oliver, acting secretary
of war, Captain Fitzhugh Lee and Cap
tain Key, military and naval aides re-
spectively to the president, Chief
Wilkes of the secret service, Marshal
Palmer of the District of Columbia,
and Others. The president was driven
to the White House. He expressed
himself as thoroughly pleased with his
trip. ST have had a delightful time"
he said. "I am extremely gratified
over the fact that I got a bear as the
result of my hunt, and none the less 80
that I had to work twelve days to get
Gratifed beyond measure by the recep-
ton 1 received in the south; indeed at
every place both north n south, be-
ginning with Keokuk and continuing
until the end of the journey.
1.-The entire "a days have been full. of
both profit and pleasure, and l am very
glad I made the trip"
The president denied that he has any
other hunting trips in contemplation,
and said the announcement that he is
going to hunt in Worth Carolina was

with out action by congress. They will,
however, join with railroads and ship
ping organizations and the CONNER
cfal interests of the country in urging
legislation which will make these
negotiable bills of lading as safe as
other forms of commercial paper now
legalized.
One of the oddities developed by
the hearings which were attended by
the representatives of the greatest
commercial interests in the country,
was the fact hat the bill of lading
they proposed as the result of their
combined wisdom can be condensed
into about two stickfuls of ordinary
newspaper matter. Their bill which
they offered to the commission origin
ally would fill nearly three column of
an average daily paper.
