Two capricious young ladies'

certain young man called to spend
the evening. They thought 1t
would be great sport to initiate
everything he did. When the
young man entered the parlor he
blew his nose, which each of the
girls promptly initiated. Think
ing it peculiar incident the
young man proceeded to stroke
his hair. Both girls followed.
Then he Strengthened his collar.

This Question Concerns Great Army Of
American Women.
In certain parts of the United
States the choice of teaching as
a profession is equivalent to a
voluntary sacrifice on the altar of
spinsterhood. There is a theory
that men are afraid to choose
wives who have been ccustomed
to domineer over boys and girls,
lest the habit of authority be too
firmly liked to overcome after
marriage. In discussing "What
the Professions Mean to Women
Matrimonially," Harriet Wash
burn Stewart says 10 the Febru-
ary Designer that fate is more a
matter of character than vocation.
The advantages to be gained
from this profession depend more
upon the qualities of mind and
heart which the girl brings to her
work, than any other of the pro.

writer declares. If she is the

then she will teach on and on, in

the high mission to which she is

she becomes powerful element
IN the social fabric. She wins
the trust, the warm regard, of
the parents Of her pupils; she
makes for herself distinct place
IN the life of the community In

Surprise Party.

A very pleasant event occurred
the Oath of January, at the home
of Mrs. Margaret Lynch, at Lau,
rel Ridge. Early In the forenoon
carriages and buggles began to
roll in until there were about
thirty persons assembled, bring
ing with them baskets heavily
laden with rich edlbles which
were emptled out upon the table
about IL o'clock. Soon after, the
table was set and they had every.
thing to eat, of which one might
think.
Mrs. Lynch, being curious as
to what was going on, went and
looked up the almanac, and found
that the date was her birthday.
She wished for many more occa.
slons such as thus, and was sorry
that they did not come oftener.
Mrs. Lynch received many
beautiful presents, and will long
hold the day IN remembrance.
About 3 o'clock the crowd began
to wend their way homeward,
feeling that the day was we'll

Those present were B. F.

Animals Which Rarely Drink.

Naturalists have discovered
many animals which seem to need
no water or which drluk only al
rare intervals. There is certain
breed of gazelles which never
drink, and the llamas of Patagon
Ia live for years without taxing
water. There is a particular
class of cattle near Losere, in
France, that rarely touches wa
ter, but in spite of this fact, these
cattle give milk of a rich quality,
from which excellent cheese is
made. Many naturallsts have
the theory that hares do not
drink or that water is not a ne
cesslty for them, and that the
dew on ths grass is sufficient for
their needs.

Trying To Please Everybody.

Heaven help the man who i'm

trying to please everybody! II
such an individual ever succeeds,
pass him over this way that we
may have one look at his mortal

for surely this earth cannot be

not infer that one should be gong
through this world trying to find
beams to knock and thump'hls
head against, disputlng every
mans opinion; fighting and ell
bowlng and crowding all who diff.
fer from him. That, again, Is
another extreme. Other people

WONDERS OF VELOCITY.
A Piece OF Thin Cardboard Will Cut
Through Wood.

Piece OF ihin cardboard Will Cut
Through Wood.
Velocity has great deal to do
with one substances ability tn
break through another, and it is
remarkable what can be accom-
plished by a comparatively soft
substance against much harder
one when the former is given
enough velocity. A bullet made
of a tallow candle would smash
fat If fred against board from
a toy gun, but when shot from an
army rife it will go right through
the board. A stream of water
has been known to have such
swiftness of movement that a
sword was broken In two when a
strong man tried to cutit through.
Cyclones have been known to
drive such frail p:olectiles as
straws welt into tree.
An interesting experiment
showing what a soft substance
can do may be performed by at
tachlng bristol board disk to
the motor of an electric fan and
setting 1t to revolving at the fam s
usual rate. IT a piece OF wood,
such as lead pencil, for exam
pie, be carefully applied to the
edge OF the revolving disk, the
wood will very readily be cut
through. OF course, If the disk
were to revolve slowly the wood
would soon blunt Its edge. --Path-
finder.
