CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.

The mind of womankind is now
supposed to be absorbed by the
Christmas present problem. Let us
utter our most vigorous protest
against the giving of so much foolish
trumpery, wasting money, and clut-
tering up our homes with useless
ornaments.
Many women think it necessary
to force on men little devices for the
toilet, the sleeping room, the desk
at the office, etc. Most of these are
of no practical use, and are chucked
into the waste basket as soon as the
recipient can do so without observa-
ton.
We will not undertake to say what
women like, but men, we feel sure,
almost invariably like useful things.
Articles of clothing that are wear
able, books, articles of a house fur
nishing nature, provided that they
harmonic with the rest of the home,
are the kind of thing that is wanted.
Few men care a hang about new
devices for cutting their finger nails,
elaborate contraptions for holding
toilet articles, sets of smokers ar
ticles, such as so many women
friends lavish on them in such abun-
dance.

A controversy over railroad legis-
lation will be precipitated in con-
gress this winter, which in intensity
of interest and gravity of Importance
promises to surpass the legislative
conflict over railroad rates of four
years ago. The first gun was fired
by Senator Cummins, of Iowa, when
he introduced a bill proposing radio
al changes in the interstate COM
merce act. In a large sense the
Cummins measure is a practical sub
stitute for the present interstate
commerce act. 1t requires unifo' IN
classification of rates on freight and
authorizes the commission to FIX mini
mum rates. Changes of rates by
railroads have no effect until ap-
proved by the commission. II pro-
hibits the acquisition of parallel COM
peting lines and all capital stock
must be represented at par by money
or property.

THE SLEEPING SICKNESS.
Prevention Found for Disease Com
 municated By the Tsetse Fly.

From the London Globe.
 This strange disease. which at first so puzzled medical men in tropical Africa, has no longer any mystery for them. The whole secret has been dis covered, and it is so simple that nei- ther white man nor native should suf- fer from it nowadays save by his own fault. The tsetse fly, or glossina pal palis, which conveys the minute organ ism of infection from the sick to the healthy by it's bite, Is now recognized as the cause of all the Ill. This fly is to be found in tropical Africa close to water or to water courses where the banks are covered with vegetation which affords it shade, and it is rarely found more than 30 yards from such a spot, unless it has followed men or animals. It seldom bites except when the sun Is up and the air Is still. The fly is easy to avoid. Houses near the fly areas should be built at least half a mile from the water and if possible

 Twas a great idea all right. Society demanded new diversion. Grand opera was over. The divorce season wouldn t open up good for couple of months yet, and anyhow so great was the de- Sire for change that merely changing wives and husbands wouldn't satisfy as It had frequently done in the past for months or even years at time. mo- mentary furry of interest, yet when all S said and done, only furry, had been created by young MT. Riddle, of the reigning house of Philadelphia, great clubman among the pugilists and a great pugilist among the clubmen, who desir- ing that most priceless ornament of the devotees of the manly art of self-pre- tense, a caulifiower ear, induced Mir Phil adelpha Jack O Brien, also of his native city, as the name would imply, to don the gloves with him, thereby securing in few hurried but painful rounds, not only a caulflower ear. but peach of an eye and a boiled dinner nose. with tomato sauce; the whole constituting what might be called four-course face.
 Tt was at this juncture that the Lady Constance Stewart Richardson took off her shoes and stockings and came to the rescue. In England, where she comes from, I suppose the name is pronounced Constantly Stewed- Rxyn, or something of that sort, but in this country we sounded 1t like it was spelled and let 1t go at that; which was wrong of course, but the best we could do with our own in- ferior knowledge of the mother tongue.

 Its that same craving for sensation that makes our society women old before their time. I don't know exactly what their time is, but I know they are old before it. I've seen 'em. Think how earnestly some of them espoused the cause of woman's suffrage this past win ter. Why, if the wardens of the state penitentiary would only be consderate enough to have Paquin devise becoming costume for lady convicts, done in the Empire mode, and provide bridge prizes of golden hand-cuffs with turquoises set in the links, I'll bet you that there s plenty of our society suffragettes would stand willing to martyr themselves for the cause and go to jail in defense of a great principle the same as their courage ous English sisters have done.
 And before Lady Constance came along with her talented feet some had even been driven into settlement work among the poor, although that really ceased to be the correct thing as far back three seasons But I wouldn't like to speak dis paragingly of settlement work. It was a treat for both sides, giving the rich a chance to see the poor and the poor a chance 10 see the rlch, ana noDouy the worse off for it.

When these clearings are made the nles disappear, and so this dreaded disease, which seemed at first so in- applicable, is now shown to be quite easily prevented.
