WOMEN ARE WOMEN.
A Rather Roundobou. Way to Prove
the Proposi, ion.

the Proposition.
Men say women are angels; women
say women are cats. Let us pause a
moment and reason upon this thing.
| If women are angels-however, that
does not seem to be the proper start
| ing point. Let us try again
II angels ure cnts-but. no: that is
hardly reasonable. for angels have
wings. and cats do not fly. We must
begin again.
II women are cats-but that isn't
possible. for cats do not talk. and how
could n dumb animal express I'm opln-
ion I'm words of woman? Whatever
cats may think. they never say II word
about woman, while women-well.
women are not cats.
Now let us return to the first propo-
sitlon.
If women are angels, they wouldn't
say women are cats. Angels don't
talk that way
Once upon time man married II
woman He said she was an angel;
the women said she was cat Happy
man. not to know the difference be-
tween an angel and cat!
Men say women are angels, and by
this token women say angels are cats
Therefore. angels being cats. cats
must be angels, and. both being the
same, women are women.
Which Is precisely what they are

CIRCUS CHILDREN.

Tho Making Of Acrobats Begins at an
Early Age.
1t Is nothing unusual for the larger
circuses to carry thirty and forty chill
dren, ranging all the way from mere
babies to boys and girls of fifteen and
sixteen years of age. The majority
are travelling with their parents. both
the father and mother doing daily duty
in the ring, and while often they are
trained to follow in the steps of their
elders they are seldom allowed to per-
form In public.
1t Is common belief among circus
men that the performer whose training
is not started until after the age of six
will seldom make distinctive record
Following the afternoon show often
saw groups Of boys, some Of whom
could not have been over four and five
years old. practicing rudlmentary som
ersaults and hand springs. while their
parents looked on with gratified
circus aristocracy. who treasure the
records of their ancestors with the
pride of son In his fathers sword and
who see no more inspiring calling for
their own children than that of the
great white canvas.
Not that their education Is neglected
in other respects Several Of the fami
lies often hire an instructor-perhaps
one Of the performers who has the
time and ability for such work--to
coach their children In the standard
studies. One circus has a travelling
school for the youngsters. If they are
to be acrobats. they are to be educated
acrobats.-Bohemian Magazine.

To Save the IahlecIoth.

Nothing is more provoking to the
careful housewife than to have per-
fectly clean tableclotb literally be-
spattered with gravy the first time it
is used. Get large table napkin--one

and piece Of white oilcloth cut an
inch shorter and an inch narrower

where the meat dish will stand and
spread the napkin over it. The gravy
cannot penetrate through the oilcloth.

The market appears settled in a

general line OF action.
Commenting on the copper metal

News says:
The main facts of the industry re-
main unchanged. The consumer is
waiting for an improvement in the
demand for his products and the
producer must wait until the con-
sumner gets ready 10 buy.
The depressed state of the in
dustry Is believed to be based on
much the same conditions as the
steel industry. and as a matter of
fact in business generally. The re-
vision of the tariff Is the usually
accepted factor holding enterprise in
check. and until the question has
been settled il is felt that trade will
improve but slowly, If at all. The
approach of the open season should
lead to improvement in the building
trades, especially in view OF the low
prices for steel products, and copper
will be benefited to a certain extent.
The makers of brass goods are. how
ever, not experiencing any decided
gains in the volume of business, and
the large corporations are still pur-
suing a most conservative policy in
the matter of improvements and ex-
tensions. New enterprises also are
held in check by the general uncer-
tainty in business resulting from the
agitation of the tariff question. The
copper industry will improve with
the others when the time comes. and
faster than most of them, but fur

SPENDING 18 MILLIONS.
Yearly Cost of the Agricultural Elk

son has issued statement pointing out
that the United States government is
spending in the neighbortood of $1S,000,-
900 a year on experimental work in in
creasing the yield and efficiency of the
farms of the country. The statement
was inspired by the charge made by
William c. Brown, president of the
New York Central lines, at dinner in
New York this week that the nation
could better afford to invest the cost
of one battleship in agricultural expert
ment work than to expend it in the in
crease of the navy A battleship costs
approximately nine million dollars
Secretary Wilson declares that tn
government is expending each year ex-
| actly twice as much as a first class
| battleships cost, and the money is be-
! ing used in precisely the manner rec
| commended by President Brown.
| The assistance given the farmers Of

| clared, is not confined to any locality
