ALL A MATTER OF INCHES.
Woman's Increased Height Makes Her
Superior to Man.

I wonder If the love ideals of WON.
anhood are changing with the sex,
which is certainly in a transition
state. At one time it was rare event
for woman to marry a man much
younger than herself; now it is COM
mon one. Not so very long ago. in her
secret heart, the unattached maiden
rather longed for a master to whom
she might play the part OF admiring
and adoring satellite; but in the pres
ent year of grace she prefers to be
sovereign herself, and to have prime
minister who is useful and subordin-
ate. Can this change be in any way
due to the superior inches Of the mod.
ern woman? A difference must in
evitably exist between the day dreams
Of the si1-foot something and the day
dreams OF five-foot nothing. Only the
other evening, at concert, l was
much struck by the imposing manner
In which a very tall woman, splendidly
gowned, made her entrance into the
room. She swept in as II the whole
world belonged to her, while behind
her followed an Insignificant creature
In black carrying her costly cloak, her
fan and don't know what else. Hon
estly, l felt sorry for him, but realized
that my pity was wasted. One could

GOOD THING TO LEAVE ALONE.
Physicians Advice to Those Who Are
Fond Of Mushrooms.

It may be possible that when all the
boys are dead they will quit eating
toadstools and dying in spasms there
from. The edible and poisonous varie-
ties OF these fungi are too close to-
gether in general and species for the
average youngster to differentiate
them. It continues, after many years,
to be the same old story: Eat it; II 1t
kills you 1t is toadstool; II 1t agrees
with you 1t is a mushroom. Some
years ago the department OF agricul-
ture at Washington issued an elab-
crate and beautiful set Of illustrations
Of mushrooms and near" mushrooms,
labelling one set edible" and the other
poisonous" The story leaked out
that the printers got the labels mixed,
and that the transpositior was not
discovered until the work had been
sent broadcast. The officials did some
tall hustling In an effort to call in the
issue. A well-known physician said
to me the other day: Owing to the
very great difficulty in ordinary life

CITY EMPLOYEES
To Be PAID OFF
ON DECEMBER "a
To Get Their Money in Time to.
Spend 1t for the
Holidays.
TEACHERS, HOWEVER, NOT :
INCLUDED IN DECREE
There Are So Many on the
School Board List that II
Could Not Be Prepared.

BY a special mandate issued by
Santa Claus, all city employees will be
paid December "a, instead of at the
.frstiof the month, except the teachers
and policemen. The teachers will not
be paid because their payroll carries
about several thousand names and it
would be too much work to get it
ready a week ahead of time. The
cops were paid December Is, and 1t IS
not supposed that there is any urgent
necessity or demand for premature pay
ment in their case. ..f
The fact that fifty new bluecoats
have just been placed on the force COM
p~licates the police payroll, so that it
could not be prepared in time anyhow.
The payroll for the whole month
would have to be sent to Trenton to-
day to the Civil Service Commission,
but as it is not known now how to rate
the new men this could not be done.
The 1872 members of the fire depart
ment will be paid by virtue of a reso-
luton passed by the Fire Board au-
thorizing the change in payday, sub
ject to the approval of City Auditor
Foreman. Their payroll for a half
month amounts to $40, 254.35.

FIND BURGLAR IN
HOME G0RG|NG
SELF WITH FOOD
Escapes Without Loot and
Leaves a Suitcase in
His Haste.

A burglar, who had first tried every
one of the lower floor windows of the
home of Mrs. l.. E. Cook, at Al Fulton
street, according to the footprints in
the snow, was discovered gorging HIM
self at $50 o'clock this morning in the
pantry of Mrs. E.. j. Strong's home at
81 Fulton street.
Amelia Bolden. the negro servant in
the Strong household, had just gone to
the kitchen 10 prepare breakfast, and
when she unlocked the pantry door she
found that it would not open. She
screamed, believing there was a man
there, and Mrs. Strong, who came run
ming with a lighted lamp, heard the
pantry window open, and h looked
outdoors just in time to see a man
leap from the window and escape
through the yards.
That the burglar had planned a raid
on the house after finishing a meal in
the pantry was shown by the presence
of a suitcase in which he had planned,
it is believed, to carry away his loot.
