WOMANLY LOGIC.

never try to argue a woman into be-

when she thinks otherwise. I tried it

WAS the irrefutable logic:
I never ordered any pictures

some good reason for it

Australian Nicknames.

Leisure is regarded as SO notable a
characteristic of Tasmania that it bears
the nickname of 1.-The Land of Lots Of
Time" or "the Land of Sleep Lot" while
its inhabitants are called "Tassies" and
"Jam Eaters" the latter being an al
lusion to the islands great fruit farms.
"Cornstalks." as our general and sport
ing appellation Of Australians, applies
in strictness to the people of New
South Wales only on account of their
height and slimness. Because Victoria
is noted for its gum trees Victorians
are required to answer to the inelegant
sobriquet of "Gumsuckers," while South
Australians are "Crow Eaters" in refer.
ence to the use of crows as food in
times of drought. The large banana
plantations of Queensland give its peo-
pie the name of Banana Eaters" and
the hot and arid wastes Of West Aus
tralia explain the term sand Gophers."

Books and READING.

II you are to make silk purse, you
must have the silk. You cannot make a
reader Of good books out of any human
material that comes along. You must
catch mind proper for the job. Not
all good minds are adapted to much
reading: You find very able people who
read few books and mostly trash and
people of less ability who read more
and much better ones. You find also
interesting differences in the facility
with which different people take in the
sense of printed words. Some people
from childhood read very much faster
and with less effort than others. Their
eyes seem to connect quicker with their
brains. and their perception of words
and rows Of words is almost instanta-
neous. Other people never entirely get
past the need of pronouncing mentally
each word.-E. S. Martin In Harper's
Magazine.

Claims Some thing is Wrong.

Auditor Johnson was going over
the papers in the Cosmos-Lake Lii
lian ditch matter last week prepar-
atory to the letting of the bids for
the work, which will be done May
| at st. Paul. He found that Judge
Powers, in his order establishing
the ditch, ruled that each county
should pay the damages to lands in
its limits, and that Meeker county
should pay one-tifth of the general
expenses of the ditch. Mr.. John
son finds the damages in Meeker
county figure $1696, and in Kandi-
yohi county some $1,000, while the
total benefits in Meeker county are
SlO6S. 90 as against $50, ,O27.O8 in
kandiyohi county, nearly 60 times
as much as in Meeker. To saddle
about S3, 1000 on Meeker county in
the face of this showing seems de-
cidedly inequitable. Meeker coun-
ty is merely the outlet for the Kan
diyohi county ditch, as the adjudi-
cation of the benefits plainly shows.
TO have these large expense bills
and damages charged against the
few whose lands in this county are
benefited seems to be manifestly
wrong. How can the $4,000 be
charged against property benefited
to the extent Of only $1,06S. .00?--

How to Carry Money About.

A man is safe from pickpockets II
he carries his money in his trousers
pocket, says an experienced detective.
A hip pocket is simply delusion.
The breast pocket is no safer when the
coat is buttoned, because the man who
is after the money located there has
only to slit the cloth with a sharp lit
tie knife blade set in a ring. Carry
money in the right trousers pocket,
and it will never be picked. AS for
jewelry, when in a crowd twist the
watch chain around the left thumb or
index finger and don't let go. no matter
what happens. A man is lucky If he
wears a diamond pin for year, no
matter what safety attachments it has.
Some thief will even cut off a portion
of the necktie to get it. Beware of
rushes, jostling in crowd. In crowd
1t is better to he pushed or even little
hurt than put up your hands.

Mamma Children In Persia

The naming of the child in Persia is
made an event Of great rejoicing and
time for the gathering of relatives.
When the guests are assembled sweet
meats are eaten. and then the infant in
its swaddling clothes is brought in and
laid on the carpet III the center of the
room by one Of the priests. Five
names are written on as many slips of
paper and placed between the leaves Of
the Koran. A chapter is read from
this book, and then one of the slips is
drawn at random The name of the
slip is the one the child has to bear
through life. and the priest takes up the
slip. pronounces the name in the child 8
ear and places the piece of paper in its
clothes. Gifts and congratulations fol.

The Reloian Mussei Aarvest.

In the autumn months small boats
can be seen anchored at low tide be-
side the piers which project into the
sea from most of the Belgian ports,
their occupants busily engaged with
spades in dislodging the mussels from
the piles of the jetty. A closer inspec-
ton makes it apparent to the unini-
tiated that this procedure is not un-
dertaken with the object of freeing the
pier from the tenacious grasp of an un-
invited intruder, but to secure the ami
mails themselves. In short, the mussel
harvest IL in full swing.-Wide World
