WOMEN AND HER PAPER.

Did you ever notice how a woman
opens a paper? 1t is as different
from the method of man as her
skirt is from his trousers.
If she is in her own home, with plen-
ty of space and sitting in capacious
rocking chair, she has room enough
to do it successfully. If she is any
where else, she instantly becomes a
public nuisance.
A man opens his paper sharply,
keeping the sheets close together,
folds it lengthwise in half, then dou-
bles it, making it into fiat pamphlet,
and reads it comfortably. Hedoesn't
gouge any ones eyes out, or knock
off their hats, or tickle the back OF
their ears and necks.
But a woman She opens the
sheets and then spreads out their en-.
tire length in front of her, up in the
air, with both arms extended at full
length to hold the edges. The fact
that she is reading the first column
on the first sheet does not prevent
her from keeping the paper spread out
out in this position during the whole
time she is reading.
When she turns another sheet she
takes the whole thing bit higher in
the air, makes as much of breeze as
she can when she is turning it, and
readjusts it again in this spread-eagle
position.
The fact that she is taking up mos'
of the space allotted to each person
around her never enters her mind

THE HEN AS A DESTROYER.

The fact that the hen is consumer
as we'll as a producer has been too
generally ignored. The literature
dealing with the virtues and achieve
ments of the hen tribe has consisted
almost entirely of praise that has
been extravagant to a fulsome degree.
The hen, unless kept under watchful
police supervision, is land pirate
a ruthless pillager that has no more
regard for vested property rights than
a wandering hobo. 1t lisa well-known
fact that the barnyard cackler after
laying a 2-cent egg will frequently
sneak into the kitchen garden and
scratch up $1.75 worth of peas, beans
and lettuce. And, as likely as not,
she will follow this up by breaking
into the strawberry patch and eating
Is cents worth of berries. This is
no warped and prejudiced statement,
and it is not an overdrawn represen-
tation of the destructive capacity OF
the unscrupulous fowl. There was a
hen enthusiast some years ago who
declared that the hens of the country
every year pay off the national debt.
This wild statement was at once ac-
cepted by millions of chicken enthu-
siasts as an automatic truth. 1t is,
indeed, high time that the other side
of the great national hen industry
should be investigated. .-BGltimOre

After hearing her read passage
from his paper, he told her, even more
yehemently than he did Miss Vera,
what he thought of a woman that
would marry for money.
AT last, tired, disguised and out of
'radium," Ord sought the seclusion
of his own home, there to think over
the events of the day. 1t was some
hours later that his aunt and Miss
Kerr returned from the fair. He
took advantage of his aunt's first mo-
mentary inattention to draw Miss
Kerr into the dark seclusion of the
"best room" He covered her color
less cheeks with kisses and without
more ado, proposed to her. She
gave voice to a breathless "yes." A
moment later she asked:
Did you leave before the trouble I"
"What trouble2" demanded Ord.
Z ooh, they arrested fakir for sell
ing some stuff called radium. He
Charged Jake Freed ten dollars for
bottle, and little later sold Will Jen-
son one just like it for fifty cents.
Well, when Jake heard about it, he
had the man arrested. He confessed
that it was fake and gave them back
their money; but the marshal took
him, bever and all, to the calaboose

A pREDIcAMRNT REVERSED.

"The late Bishop Fowler" said a
Buffalo Methodist, "was broad
minded man. Bigotry he abhorred.
Greed, he claimed, should never hedge
one good Christian from another.
Sincere creeds, no matter how diverse,
should, on the contrary, bind Chris
tians together.
"Bishop Fowler used to tell about
a young Detroit couple, John Smith
and Hannah Jones.
|. "John Smith was Presbyterian.
Hannah Smith was Baptist. They
hesitated about marrying because
they feared that in later life, when
the little ones came, religious disputes
might arise. Thus the years passed.
Neither would renounce his church.
John Smith grew bald and Hannah
Jones developed lines about her mouth
and eyes. 1t was complete dead
lock, the world said.
"Then John was sent abroad for a
year by his firm to buy fancy goods.
He and Hannah corresponded regu'
larly. Toward the years end by a
remarkable coincidence each received
from the other letter, the two letters
crossing in the mail. They said:
'Fiiend /ohm-The obstacles that
stood in the way of our marriage have
atlast been removed. This day l was
received in full membership in the
Presbyterian church. HANNAH
"' Dearest HanuGh-We have nc
longer any ground for delaying oul
union further. I united myself this
day with the Baptist church.

HIs OWN PRIVATE THEATRE.

There is a town in Pennsylvania,
not far from Harrisburg, but off the
beaten track, which boasts of thea
tire which for luxury of accommoda-
ton would be hard to equal. The
theatre has all sorts of modern conve-
niences, of kind that could hardly
be expected in city under a million
of inhabitants. This particular city
had at the last census about 10000
inhabitants.
The reason for being of this theatre,
which gets all the regular road attrac-
tions of high class, is that there is in
the town an exceedingly wealthy man
who wants to see shows without leav-
ing home. He is worth about $Io,-
900, 900.
He has lived in and about the place
all his life, making money out of lum-
Der and manufactures. When he had
enough to retire on he didn't want to
have to go anywhere else to see shows,
and as the theatre the place boasted
was very dingy one he had one built.
He runs the theatre himself at a
considerable loss every year, but he
gets what he wants. The theatre
people like the place, too, because it's
so very different from the average
showhouse in the small town.-N r

FOES OF THE LEvEEs.

"People who know little about our
system of levees, the artificial banks
built to con6ne the flood waters that
pour into the Mississippi, no doubt i'm
agire that the heavy rains are the
only enemy with which the levees
have to CONTEND" said D. ]. Gerry,
of Baton Rouge, La.
"On the contrary, the levees, both
during times of flood and low water,
are subject to the incessant attacks
of living foes, the destructive work of
which costs millions of dollars. These
foes are alligators, turtles, muskrats,
field rats, fresh water terrapin and
crawfsh. Of all of these burrowers
that prey on the levees, excavating
within them goodly chambers of tun-
nels, the crawfish do the most DAM
age, with the turtles and terrapins a
good second. The harm done by the
alligators is comparatively small.
''In repairing the banks crawfsh
holes are often found of immense
size. 1t is,these hollow spaces that
~. rs -e-@sa-4s&.z ~
course, brings on an inundation of all
the adjacent country.
"The worst part of the business is
that no way of exterminating these
pests has yet been found, and the
only thing to be done is to try to keep
them away from the banks as much
as possible. -

VIRTUE IN COPPER.

cooper is a marvellous preventive
of disease. If we return to the old
copper drinking vessels of our fore
fathers, typhoid epidemics would dis
appear"
The speaker, a liberation expert,
took a copper cent from his pocket.
Examine this cent under the mi
croscope," he said, and you will find
it altogether free from disease germs.
Examine gold and silver coins, and
YOU will find them one wrigling and
comforting germ mass. Yet copper
coins pass through dirtier hands than
gold and silver ones. You'd think
they ought to be alive with micro or
ganisms. But no. Copper kills
germs. Diphtheria and cholera cul-
lures smeared on copper cent die in
less than two hours.
They have many cholera epidemics
in China, but certain towns are always
immune. These towns keep their
drinking water in great copper vessels.
Travellers have tried TO buy these YES
sells, for they are beautiful, but the
villagers will not sell them. They
have superstition that their health
and welfare depend on their retention.
l wish all superstitions were as true
and salutary as that. :"

COOKING A PLEASURE.

l am strong advocate of schools
to teach cooking, and in my profess
sional life I advise every woman who
comes to me for advice as to her fu-
ture to learn to do the things which
make for proper housekeeping and
homemaking. As long as the race
exists, men will have to eat, and some
one will have to to do the cooking.
Women should study the art of cook
ing rather than any other one thing
that they are doing in any line so
that they know how and why they do
the various things in preparing a
meal, the doing of it would be a pleas
ure and not drudgery.
One of my fathers pet stories is
how one day he came into our home
for lunch, and found me, sitting in
the kitchen with cookbook on my
lap, crying great tears into the pages
while 1 tried to find out what to get
him for lunch. He thinks it is a good
story, but I know the trouble was
that I was attempting to do thing I
did not understand, and was declaring
that never could and never would
cook. After we finished that meal of
bread and milk, / went at it with a
will and learned to cook properly
and stuck at it under Mrs. Rorer and
my mother until could cook every
thing in the usual family menu, and
as soon as I learned how loved to do
it. And / never have since then
heard "A nanaen :deeru- ;eaaizinG 1lae'
point, and see if it is not so. Z
Anything a woman can do we'll,
she enjoys doing. And it is because
l believe that firmly that I advocate
teaching young girls to cook well.
If she goes into kitchen mistress of
her work, she will love it and take
her pleasure in life in producing good
things to eat. If she enters upon
household duties not understanding
her work, fearing failures, spelling
good raw material, fretful, uninter-
ested, she will find it great hardship
and will flee from it into some shop,
tell every girl not to do housework
and help to spread the panic.
Housework done intelligently is
not drudgery. Cooking done we'll
is as great pleasure as painting a
picture. Serving a good meal cook
ed by yourself is as great an achieve
ment as arguing case we'll in court.
And the woman who can do so, and
let's her servants have the benefit of
her knowledge, has no trouble with
her servants.
So suggest that every woman
who does not herself know all about
this great art of cookery should learn
it, make it fashionable to know how,
and soon you will find some one quite
| inadvertently, you know, forget to
take off her apron when you makean
