The Tear Cure.

A good cry is a solace to many
women. It steadies the nerves, and,
added to cup of tea and an inter-
esting story, forms their idea of SUI
preme happiness. Arising from the
perusal of their books with red eyes,
sWelled features and sopping pocket
handkerchief, they feel their time has
not been wasted.-Lady Violet Gre
vile in London Chronicle.

anAAnne nv = Mule.

An amusing story Of the capture OF
a thief through the fundamentally
of mule is reported from Jersey
City. While the thief was busily
wringing chickens necks, the animal
started kicking furiously at the chick
en- house. and before the thief could
escape had brought down the roof and
walls upon him. Entangled in the wire
and half-stunned by bricks and wood,
the man fell an easy capture to the
inmates, who had rushed out on hear
ing the noise.

Need Cotton Hand Looms.

The revival of the cotton hand loom
is thought to be the solution of the
question of the industrial regeneration
of India. This year there were spun
213,0o7,5 pounds of cotton, a falling
off of more than 100000 pounds, but
the yards woven amounted to 254 ,2S4,-
745, an increase of 100000 yards.
This has been due to the great in
crease in the number of hand looms in
use,

They War on Each Other.

What a pugnacious community it is
that inhabits the sea! All the crea-
lures in It live on each other, and the
whole extent of that vast body of
water is a slaughter house, where the
strong prey on the weak constantly.
There is no other way for them to
sustain life, but doesn't it seem queer
that nature should have ordained such
a state of things?

WOMEN AND
 LAUNDRY
MAY JOIN IN COOPERATIVE BUs-
 MESS IDEA.
Prospectus Shows, They Claim, That Enterprise Can Pay Dividends and Charge Much Less
 Prices.

Several ladies in the city are dis cussing the formation of a high class small laundry plant to be run in con- Junction with the cooperative laundry that the business men of the city are laying plans for. This action is assur- ing those heretofore doubtful of the CO., operative laundry, for when the women take hold of things they so on through.
 A Montgomery woman says:
 "In Washington, because of the infe- fior work done by washwomeu. and the extortionate rates of laundries, several women got together and formed laun- dry for delicate fabrics, lace. etc. They had a plant built and from the start 1t was a decided success. It was found the work could be done at half the rates that were before being charged. pay all expenses and have enough over to re- imburse the stockholders for their ex- penditure by the end of the first year, and after that pay handsome profit"
 With the women folk pushing the natter, the men interested in the gen. oral laundry now under discussion have .aken a new interest President Forbes of the Commercial Club, one of the first to take hold of the proposition, says he has been flooded with catalogues, prop ositions, and letters from laundry ma chinery people. Of course these mat ters will not be taken up until the rest of the $3O.000 first item of the capital stock. is subscribed. This amount is rapidly growing and only a few more thousands are needed to see the con- tracts for machinery and building Oon- struction given out.

 Good shows have been such an in- variable rule at the Majestic Theatre this season that this weeks offering comes rather as a disappointment to the regular patrons of vaudeville. Not that the six turns are so bad. but there is a deplorable lack of novelty. This Is said, however. simply in com parison with the fact that an excep- tionally high class of vaudeville has been put on the local stage, vaudeville that would reflect the highest credit upon the biggest and most popular Of eastern houses. Perhaps it's the come down from an all star bill, to bill of lesser lights with one real star turn, that really makes the differ- ence.
 There's no question about 1t, the last turn on the bill. that of Billy Nor Tia and the Sherwood Sisters Is star turn. It can't be beat. As for the other turns. well--they might have been better.
