ANrI-sAcHELoR PAPER NOW.
"Panna" to Combat In Prague the
Mans Emancipation Sheet.

Mladenec 1.-THE bachelor), the Prague
newspaper which has devoted itself
to the emancipation of man from the
thrall of women, has chosen its thir-
teenth number to celebrate its enor-
nous success. Not only has 1t awak.
ened the Czech population OF Europe,
as 1t alleges, to new sense of man
hood, but in addition II has stirred
up Poland, Hungary and Germany
with signs of revolt against feminin-
ism.
1t is In German speaking countries
chat 1t seems to have caused the
greatest awakening. 1t says that af-
ter the Frankfurter Zeitung directed
attention to its program, papers all
over Germany printed long articles,
many of them indorsing, at least in
ferentially, the crusade.
The publication Office In Prague has
been stormed with letters demanding
a German edition of the Bachelor.
Hundreds of letters have been writ
ten to the editor citing instances OF
feminine tyranny and urging that the
fight for masculine authority be made
red hot.
German mems organizations. II IL
stated, have adopted resolutions in.
dorsing the paper and its aims, and
several Mladenec. clubs have been
formed in the larger cities. Orders
for copies have been received from
big hotels in all parts Of Europe where
people who read the Slavic languages
habitually visit.
The greatest triumph OF all, In the
estimation OF Mladenec's editor, is the
announcement OF the appearance in
Prague at an early date OF a rival
publication to combat the male eman-
cipation movement. This Is to be
called Parma 1.-THE Spinster), and 1t
Is to be devoted to exposing the
wickedness and injustice OF men, ar
sorting the rights of women and prov.
Ing that the world will be far better
when the fair sex gains ascendance.

MOST TROUBLESOME PLANT.
Government Trying to Control the
Water Hyacjnth.

"oeCT S7ydCtUtUs
The water hyacinth, the beautiful
marine plant Of green leaves and ex-
quisite flowers, which has done such
great damage to commerce in Louis
lana and East Texas, is making its ap-
pearance in the ship canal, says the
Houston Post
A few years ago the water hyacintb
was brought from Florida to Louisiana
as floral ornament. Last year the
government expended 100000 in an
effort to control the pest and has only
partly succeeded. Streams and bayous
which once carried large barges of
lumber In Louisiana and Eastern
Texas have been closed to navigation
by the rank vegetation Of the hya-
cinth.
Sabine river above Orange has be-
come filled with the plants, and it is
related that these all grew from few
plants carelessly thrown into the riv-
er by some housewife when the plants
she had In a tub as an ornament be-
came too numerous
The matter has been brought to the
attention of the city authorities and
steps have already been taken to de-
stroy before it is too late all the hya-
cinths in Sam Houston Park and those
which have got into the bayou. A
boat is TO be sent along the lower
reaches and all hyacinths carefully
gathered and destroyed. 1t is antici-
pated that there may be some legis-
lative action prohibiting the growing
OF these plants near a navigable
stream and furnishing any one so care
less as to throw any OF them into a
stream which is of any use for any
purpose.
Austrian icicle Factory.
In Austria ice sticks" are manufac-
tured at a profit
A series OF poles is arranged SO that
the water will fall slowly over each
one in the series or course, the water
In the winter time freezes, forming
large icicles. When the icicles have
attained the proper size the employees
OF the ice plant" come around with
carts, break off the great sticks of ice
and haul them away to place where
they are put in storage.
OF course, it Is much easier to ham
die large quantity of ice in this way
than 1t is to cut it from some stream
and then pack 1t away There may,
however, be difference In quality be-
tween stick ice and lake or river ice
