srRENeTH NoTSMArTaR or SEX.
Average Woman May be a. Powerful
'' Physically az Man.

Can the average woman be. as strong
physically as the average man?
Nile. Sandwinas, the acrobat, tour
ing vaudeville with the Sandwinas, an
swers: ,.is
Yes. The fact that almost every
body believes the physical possibilities
OF the average woman are extremely
limited Is the cause Of the average
woman being q weakling. From girl
hood women are told that the opposite
sex is the lawful possessor Of the
strong right arm, and the average
woman takes this universal testimony
without questioning It." 'R9'
Mile. Sandwiias tells mothers that
they should encourage their daughters
to be. "tomboys," and that while some
boys games may be bit too rough
for the girls, yet most Of the boys
games should be adopted by girls to
replace the so-called girls games.
She asserts she has taken personal
interest in the careers Of women who
were "tomboys" when girls and says
they have always proven successful in
whatever they attempted, result she
considers due to the confidence ac-
companying a superb physique.

The Revenge Of the Beavers.

At the reservoir at Saddleback pond
recently at Rangely beavers work in
dam construction was found to inter
fere with the water supply from Sad
dleback stream. These busy en-.
gineers had constructed a tight dam
which had retained considerable Of
the supply Of the mountain reservoir,
and workmen each day tore out their
work only to find 1t rebuilt on their
next visit. Good-sized tree sections
had been hauled in and placed In the
dam by the beavers, After several de-
structions of the beavers dams there
was again found to be a stoppage in
the supply of water through the main
pipes. The dam had not been rebuilt,
but on close investigation it was
found that these cunning engineers in
revenge apparently had built dense
screen across the strainer, which had
prevented the flow Of water through
the main pipe. .-Kennebec (Me.) Jour

IN THE DAY OF THE AlRsHIP.
How Men Of That Age VIII Look Back
at Present Generation. "a

We who are used to flight can hard
ly realize the crawling life of men
before the twentieth century. They
were bound to roads and railroads.
They could'not ride direct to any given
spot. They were confined by roads and
railroads, and they were hurried race
that ,chafed at these restraints. I'm
agine, then, this race suddenly re-
lieved Of such vexatious barriers,
entering into a new realm, as free
as the sea, and reaching all men
alike, SO that every mans farm
or factory was a harbor from which
he could sail as directly as the wind
would let him to any spot In the
world; and, bear in mind, from the
first with a rapidity that equaled that
Of the ordinary railroad trains Of the
day and surpassed any speed. permit

The Roosevelt Idea.

Who shall say that the Rooseveltiar
idea of a happy life is not spreading
over the world? Here is a composition
by a ten-year-old English boy, which
the Manchester Guardian vouches fol
as genuine:
my life has been a very lucky one
When was three years old / fell
downstairs and cut my head. When ]
was five years old I was looking at
some hens and dog bit my leg, When
/ was eight l went with my brother in
the trap, and the horse fell and threw
us out of the, trap, my brother lit on
his feet and l lit on the horses back.
Last year I was playing, and / ran into
a hurry and cut my eyebrow, and 1t has
left mark. One day | went into
slaughter house, and big sheep ran
after me and knocked me down. /

Captive Wild Animals and Snakes IN
terest the Fair Sex. wv

"One Of the most interesting things
to me In connection with this Job
said the veteran keeper Of the Zoo, "is
the peculiar fascination women have
for certain animals and their lack Of
interest in others. OF course, as a rule,
men are more interested than women,
generally speaking. An wild animals.
But the masculine interest lies In an
admiration OF the physical qualities or
q curiosity to find out at close range
how the creature lives. The woman's
feeling, on the other hand, nine times
out Of ten 10 one Of rapt fascination
impossible to overcome when she Is
close to certain creatures Of the
woods. gA0 "a tE}
"This emotion never manifests itself
for the eaters Of grass. For the ele-
phant or deer the average woman
feels no real interest whatever It Is
toward the devourer Of flesh, particu-
larly the felines, that your wife or sis
ter or cousin feels drawn In that mex
,plicable way. You must spend days
in the lion house in order to appreci-
ate fully the way in which women
stand spellbound before these cages.
But the greatest of all is the 'fascina-
tion Of the reptiles. Ihave seen wom-
en- become absolutely unconscious Of
the outer world in their contemplation
Of motionless snakes A few days ago
a woman stood for more than two
hours before the king cobras. She
looked like the wife of working man
who made fair pay. I'll bet that II you
gave her book on snakes she
wouldn't read hundred words Of It."

servlan Proverbs.

Some of the Servian proverbs are
interesting. One is: What is taken
by force or unjustly is cursed.
Others are as follows: God does moi
settle his accounts with men every
Saturday, but the day comes on
which he settles them;" "The devil
never sleeps" Where big bells ring
the little bells are not heard" Boast
to stranger, complain only to a
friend" IF you wish to know what
a man is, place him in authority"
who readily lies readily steals" and
In evil days the man shows what he
Is" Another Of their sayings: "The
fools build the houses, the wise men
buy them when they are ready"
would probably in this country be re.
versed.

Wherein eIrIs Arc superior to BOYS

"At an early age the boy begins
to practice on the outside world with
his hand and eye, and while he is
throwing, cutting, hammering, calcu
lating distance and playing competi-
tive games, the girl is sitting at home
In a pretty frock. But in activities
not requiring great strength and
speed the boy is not superior The
fastest typewritist in the world is to.
day a woman; the record for ropine
steers Ia feat where the horse does

Steel Belts Replace Leather,

Steel bands are now used in Ger
many in place of leather betting On
account Of their solidity, these bands
are much narrower than leather belts
used for the same loads, being about
one-sixth Of the usual leather belt, The
steel band is not SO heavy as leather,
and itscan be very tightly adjusted,
the distance between the engine and
the machine being a matter Of little
Importance. Careful and repeated ex,
periments have revealed the fact that
the entire loss Of power does not ex.
ceed 4 per cent. Owing to the light
ness Of the belt, the influence Of centri-
fugall force Is small and allows Of a
much increased velocity.
