Big Wages Must Be Earned.

A group Of feminine wage earners
was discussing a news item the other
day, one which told the public that the
private secretary of the greatest finan-
cier Of his time is a woman who re-
ceives $4,000 year. There was envy
in their voices and bitterness in their
words. and nobody seemed to grasp
the pith Of the story. which was re-
!cital Of the secretary's duties There
was woman who had to be on duty
many hours. and possess not only a
marvellous memory. but infinite tact
and patience. More than that she had
TO possess marked executive ability
She has probably been in training
for years. and undoubtedly earns
every penny Of her salary. The girls
who envied her could not do the work
because they were not fitted for it
probably they would not under any
circumstances. because they were not
the hard-working kind. All they could
see in the story was the salary, and
that made them envious.

African Courtship.

Among some African tribes, when
a man processes his love for a woman
and asks her in marriage, she invari.
ably refuses him at first, lest it should
appear that she had been thinking of
him ard was eager to become his wife.
BY so doing she maintains the mod.
esty of her sex, as well as tests the
love and aliases the pride OF her low
er. This policy is also intended to be
OF use to the woman in her married
life-as, should there be quarreling
and the husband threaten to send her
away, she can remind him OF how he
made repeated professions OF his love
and urgently pressed his suit before
she consented to become his wife.

BEETLE Ao A SCENT sAcAET.
Insect Of Borneo That Exhales Most
Powerful Perfume.

The beaux and bolles of Borneo do
not have to distil perfume for their
hair or handkerchiefs. They have
only to take walk until they find a
mimosa in blossom. Clinging to the
flower-balls is found magnificent
beetle Of brilliant emerald green sha-
ding to bright bronze on the wing
cases, and touched with gold on the
head. This living jewel emits pow
erful scent Of altar of roses, perfuming
the air for many yards around it. A
number of them placed in house will
fill 1t from top to bottom with delight
full fragrance. Young girls roll the
insect in bit of cotton cloth aad
braid it in their black locks, and
young men suspend it around their
necks like an amulet or an Egyptian
scarab. The fragrance gradually
grows fainter as the beetle loses its
vitality, and dies with IT,
The beetle lives in captivity only a
few hours, and as the scent expires
with it, no way has so far been found
to extract or preserve the exquisite
odor. The scented beetle appears only
when the mimosa is in flower. Neither
birds nor lizards will destroy 1t, and
it is protected even from the vora
cious woodpecker by Its powerful per
fume.
