Mhen Her Turn Came.

The Journal had taken on a woman
editor" whose duty was TO look after
the "woman's page" Space being
scarce in the local room" a desk was
given her in the managing editors
room, directly adjoining. For a week
or two no fault was found with her
work, but one morning the managing
editor said to her:
Miss Penfeld your style of writing
is a little too terse and epigrammatic
for the needs Of your department. You
must study expansion"
VERY well, Mr.. Ringgold," she an
swered. II will try"
Thereafter her work appeared to
give entire satisfaction, for there was
no further criticism. About six months
later. however, the managing editor
after a morning spent In working at
his desk suddenly wheeled in his chair
and said:
miss Penfeld want a wife. want
you. Will you marry me|
"Mr. Ringgold" she responded, with
hooking smile that is rather terse
and epigrammatic. Don't you think

The Seven Wise Men Of Greece.

The seven wise men Of Greece were
Thales Of Miletus, Fernandez Of Cor.
inth, Cleobulus of Lyndus, Chilon Of
Lacedaemon, Scion Of Athens, Bias Of
Prienne and Pittacus Of Mitylene.
Some fishermen Of Mileus sold a draft
of fishes to a bystander When the
net was drawn in it contained a golden
tripod, and the purchaser claimed it
was his, while the fishermen contend
ed that they sold only the fish that
might be in the net The dispute was
referred TO the oracle Of Delphi, who
awarded the tripod TO the wisest man
in Greece. Thereupon it was taken to
Thales, who declined it and suggested
that it be given to Bias. He in turn
refused to accept it. and thus 1t was
successfully declined by all the seven.
and they were thereafter known as the
seven wise men Of Greece.

Though Mercury is one OF the small
est Of the planets, it is perhaps the
most troublesome to the astronomer.
It lies so close to the sun that it is
seen but seldom in comparison with
the other great planets Its orbit is
very eccentric. and 1t experiences dis.
turbances by the attraction of other
bodies In way not yet fully under
stood. special difficulty has also
been found in the attempt to place
Mercury In the weighing scales. We
ran weigh the whole earth, we can
weigh the sun. the moon and even
Jupiter and other planets, but Mercury
presents difficulties Of a peculiar char
acter. lie Nerrier. however, succeeded
in devising a method of weighing it.
He demonstrated that our earth is
attracted by this,planet, and he showed
how the amount Of attraction may be
disclosed by observations Of the sun.
so that from an examination Of the OBJ
servations he made an approximate
determination Of the mass Of Mercury.
lie Yerriers result indicated that the
weight Of the planet was about the IF
teenth part of the weight of the earth.
In other words. if our earth was placed
in a balance and fifteen globes, each
equal to Mercury. were laid in the
other the scales would hang evenly

 "A woman feels and nterprets mu- sic even on a jewsharp. She can be great fiction writer, but that is about all.
 Women are not scientists, she is a failure even at doctoring, except in the humanitarian phase embraced in good nursing. She is not a good theologiau-theology demands analy- sis.
