THE SUBTLE Female.
How She Wheedles and BuiIiss the
Poor Man Creatura.

How She Wheedles and BuIIiss the
Poor Man Creature.
As woman gradually impressed upon
man the futility Of strutting around in
fnery and the necessity Of being prac-
tically useful his garb has become more
and more sober and workaday in ap-
pearance. Ethnologists tell US that
the decorations Of primitive man were
intended to fascinate feminine eyes,
but woman presently began to make
It clear that she was not hunting for
"a fine, snowy article" but something
solid and plain and useful, warranted
to stand wear and tear. AS for the Or
namental role, she was going to repre-
sent the family herself in that line.
In fact, when one reflects how man
has been stripped of gauds and whee-
died out Of his fipperies one by one,
one cannot help feeling a tender pity
for this victim Of feminine self aggran-
dizement. Poor, timid trembler! A
vague, general fear of the female sex
haunts him. Afraid of being married
against his will, he is circumvented by
some subtle female creature who makes
him think that it Is his will to marry
her. An observer remarks that a man
very often in running away from the
right woman runs straight into the
arms Of the wrong woman. And the
wrong woman, that great opportunist,
is always waiting there to block his
headlong fight and switch it toward
the altar.-New Orleans Times-Demo-

An Eaay Job.

Indifference displayed in the face Of
the uncertainties and dangers Of life is
characteristic Of the Wessex dwellers
in the Islands Of the Vale," according
to Eleanor G. Hayden, the author Of
the book of the title, who supports her
statement with a story Of humorous
turn.
A certain cottage and its old mistress
had improved so greatly in comfort
and appearance that a visitor shrewd-
ly surmised that the son Of the house.

SUGGESTED BY CHILDREN.
Origin Of tho Arsand Lamp and the
Telescope.

Origin Of the Arsand Lamp and the
Telescope.
Some Of our most useful mechanical
appliances owe their existence to the
ingenuity Of children in fashioning
their playthings. Argand, who in
vented lamp with a wick fitted into
Z hollow cylinder, was one day busy
In his workroom. Sitting before the
burning lamp, his little brother was
amusing himself by placing a bottom
less oil flask over different articles.
Suddenly he placed it upon the flame
Of the lamp, which instantly shot up
the long circular neck Of the flask
with increased brilliancy. Argand did
not allow such suggestive occur
renee to escape him. The idea of the
lamp chimney almost Immediately
came into his head, and in short
time his invention was perfected.
The telescope owes it's origin to a
similar occurrence. The children Of
a Dutch spectacle maker happened to
be playing one day with some Of their
fathers glasses In front Of the shop
door. Placing two Of the glasses to-
gether, they peeped through them and
were exceedingly astonished to see
the weathercock Of the neighboring
steeple brought within a short distance
OF their eyes. They were naturally
puzzled and called their father to see
the strange sight. When the spec
tacle maker looked through the glasses
he was no less surprised than the
children had been. He went indoors
and thought the matter over, and then
the idea occurred to him that he might
construct curious new toy which
would give people good deal of
amusement. Not long after the tele-
scope was an accomplished fact.
