WOULD EMULATE THE EMU.

Owe must wage this battle until
we get our oppressor, man, reduced
to the happy condition of the emu
family" said the suffragette orator
to her women auditors.
'When the lady emu decides that
it is time to raise a family she
sounds a call like blowing into the
bunghole of a barrel. Mr.. Emu
comes and scrapes a hole in the
ground and by and by there are a
dozen eggs there. The male sits on
those eggs, matches 'em out after
eight weeks and then takes care of
the youngsters until the next hatch
ing season, when they go to the
mother. Now that is equal labor
and equal responsibility and it is
what we women are entitled to-"
"Good Good % shouted the
auditors.-New York Sun.

the authors last work and conscious
ly SO. Believing that he would not
recover from his illness, Mr.. Eggles-
ton in a note dictated to his son
urged the publishers to hasten an

tory page, which was to bear a
sketch of his little grandson. The
author received complete copies of
the book while he was yet able to
examine them critically.

Priceless Chinese Vase.

The late Che rles Wertheimer when
asScd on one occasion what he con-
Hdcrcd to be his astutest business

'0ll low once when he was walking
through a Brighton square he espied
through an open window what he
knew to be a priceless Chinese vase.
He went to the nearest postoffice, ex-
amined a local directory and found
the name Of the resident. Then he
called and asked for the gentleman
and was shown into the study under
the name of Hamilton" He briefly
explained that he was looking for a
modest house in Brighton and had
taken a fancy to this one. Would
the gentleman entertain an offer for
the place as it stood-'1ock, stock
and barrelY The owner, a little
nonplused, hesitated. of your Of

ton" did and found him prepared to
accept $4,000 for the twenty-five
years unexpired term and the con-
tents Of the residence.
Although this was well over mar.
ket value, Hamilton" at once closed
adding the extra thousand, according
to promise. AS, however, he after
ward sold the vase for $4,000, hi
coup was unmistakable.

WIT WON FORTUNE.

Talleyrand was nineteen when, on
his first arrival in Paris, in 1873, he
attended a reception of Nine. du
Barry at Versailles. The young men
around him were boasting of the fav-
ors they had received from the fair
sex, and the devastation they had
wrought. Talleyrand sat thoughtful
and silent. "You say nothing, Sir
Abbe," said the lady of the house to
him at length. "Ah, no, madame"
replied he; 81 was indulging in very
sad reflections" "And these we're ?"
How much easier it is in city like
Paris to win women than abbacies. "
The king, t. whom the reply was re-
peated, is said to have conferred on
him the benefce of st. Denis at
Rheims, with a yearly revenue Of
twenty thousand pounds.

The speaker, a Cincinnati poet,

"Mr. Bernard Shaw is well

Looking out of the window used to
be an indictable offense on the Sab

Edinburgh, taking into considera-
ton that the Lords Day is profaned
by people standing in the streets,
vaguing in the fields and gardens, as
also by idly gazing out of the win
dows, it is ordered that each session
take its turn to watch the streets on
Sabbath, and to visit each suspected
house in each parish by elders and
deacons with beadle and officers, and
after sermon, when the day is long,
to pass through the streets, and to re-
prove such as transgress and inform
on such as do not refrain"

TYPICAL CITY OF AMERICA
Some Of the Many and Great Actlvl-
ties Of the Municipality Of
Modern Times.

The typical American city builds,
owns and operates bridges, ferries,
docks and water supply; has built
subways, gives free primary, secon-
dairy and higher education to all boys
and girls who apply, for which pur-
pose it even maintains free colleges ;
supports libraries, museums and col
lections of various kinds, nautical
schools and observatories, free pub
lie baths, gymnasia, play grounds
and athletic fields, with free instruc-
ton in swimming, gymnastics and
athletics all this besides its prisons,
reformatories, warehouses;, aims
houses, lodging houses, asylums, lab
oratories and hospitals Of all sorts
and kinds. Besides seeing to it that
the citizen is law-abiding and moral
the city most carefully protects his
health. 1t inspects his food and
drink, attends to its quality, its
measurement and weight; it watches
over his home or his tenement, sees
that he has enough light, air and
space and that his sanitary condi-
tons are as they should be. 1t as
sumes toward the citizen at his birth
the relation of a kind and generous,
if somewhat fussy, grandmother, and
continues this relationship until he
has passed away.-George B. McClel-
Ian, in Atlantic.

The travelling Snowman is COM

particularly in country places. He
has almost vanished as an individual
from English country fairs he exists
only as the proprietor of galloping

fairs in France you may still find
the juggler, with his tinsel and

sometimes quite. charming dancer.

MANY USES FOR ASBESTOS
Theater Curtains, Pipe Coverings,
Wire Insulation and other Things
Made Of the Mineral.

Asbestos plays a more important
part in the national life than is gen
orally credited to it. The well-made
asbestos theater curtain assures the
safety of the audience. from stage
fires. In the home the asbestos COW
ering of the furnace and heating
pipes, or Of the gas logs in the open
fireplace. makes for economy and
comfort. Wherever steam is used as
a motive power in factories, on
trains or on ships, it is asbestos
packing that holds the steam to its
work on the other hand, if electric
ity is employed, the wires are prob
ably insulated by asbestos tape and
the adjacent parts are made Of ashes
tos lumber" Asbestos shingles and
sheathing make houses cooler in
summer and warmer in winter and
reduce the fire risk. From the ice
house, where asbestos protects the
brine pipes from the heated air, to
the foundry, where it shields the
workman from molten metal, in the
workshop, the home or the place of
amusement, asbestos contributes ma
terially to human welfare.

the course should be broader. Lii
