Sure It Was His Wife.

Three o'clock was the very earliest the man could get up to the store, so his wife asked him to meet her then.
 ..I don't know in what department shall be at that time. she said, but just before 3 l will telephone to the clerk at the information bureau near the main entrance, and if you will just step over and ask him he will tell you where am
 At two minutes past 3 the man sought information as to the where abouts of his wife.
 'I have a message" said the clerk. from woman who said her husband would inquire for her about 3 o'clock. Maybe it is for you. She said to tell you that she has gone to Blanks store. over on Sixth avenue to finish her shopping because the clerks in this store are impudent. the place is ill ven tilated and she couldn't find anything she wanted here anyhow and never has been able to find anything here and this is positively the last time she will ever try to find anything here, Of course that might have been your wife"-

Cochinaal Insects.

Before many years cochineal scarlet will have become a thing of history only. like the Tyrian purple of antiqui- ty, That is the conclusion of NJ. Leon Diguet. who has been studying the state of the cochineal industry in Mex leo. The first specimens of cochineal were taken to Europe by the Spanish adventures in the sixteenth century The Indians had cultivated the coceus cacti. from which the color is derived in pre- Columbian times. and after the spanish conquest the industry devel- oped rapidly. The city of OaXaca was the center of the cochineal country in the days of Humboldt. but only few plantations of the nopal cactus, on which the insects are fed. now remain The female insects only are used to form a dye. and they are gathered by brushing the branches of the nopal as soon as they begin to lay their eggs. They are then desiceated in ovens or killed with boiling water.

OLIVE scHREINFR.

"It is quite possible that the fenala half of humanity may be found more fitted than are men for the bulk of bu. man labors in the future" So savs Olive Schreiner. and she pictures von. en as becoming the greatest inanciers judges and lawmakers. This same Olive Schreiner. who was once known only as a great but peaceful novelist author of "The Story of an African Farm" is now marching up at the head of the women's rights proees. sion Her motto is. We women take all fields of labor for our right
 In her new book. Women and La. bor." she states her demand with the hard science of college professor, Women. she declares. must and will take over a half in all fields of labor. from digging ditches to ruling nations, or else. with this modern age of ma chinery, they must become mere para. sites In answering the objections likely to be urged against her theories
 
 women may be unable to carry on a full half of all labors. that. on the oth- CT hand. women may prove much more able to conduct the world than are men
 Is Olive Schreiner right? Is woman to rule the world? A Columbia col. lege professor declares that she is not merely as reCards some sort of dis tant future. but as regards -oday. He points out that today in al the large cities where there are large and in- portant movements for the improve ment of social conditions women are at once more studious and more active practically. He declares that even in law and in medical schools the women are the most earnest and practical In small towns. he points out, it is not men but women who get away from the cracker box and village gossip to form municipal improvement and study clubs.
 And in answer to the oft given ob lection that it is only men who have been able to rule he quotes Mrs Schreiner's Woman and Labor 10 the effect that the best rulers in the world have been queens-Victoria and Elizabeth and Catherine of Russia
 Is there some truth in the numerous painrS' frequent jests to the effect that it will soon be the men who are re dilctd to the dishwashing and mend' ing while women rule the worldf

THE CEMENT PAINT,

A reader of these notes who Ia plan ming to do some outside painting wish es to know the recipe for making the government whitewash. or the White House paint. For the benefit of this reader and others who may Dc inter ested we give the recipe again. which Is as follows: Slack one-half bushel of stone lime. using enough boiling wa ter to keep It from burning and keep well covered during the process When the stacking process Is finished add enough more hot water so that il will be fine straiDer-brass or Il couple thick nesses of gunny sacking. Next dis solve a peck of salt in warm water also prepare three pounds of rice boil ed to thin paste The rice and lime water should first be carefully stirred together while hot and the salt wa ter then added and stirred in. To this ndd one fourth pound of Spanish whit ing and one pint of liquid glue. This recipe will give about seven gallons. and. if there should not be as much as this. hot water should be added to rive the desired amount. Various tints can be given this paint by stirring in dry colors. The paint will give the best results if used hot and should be stirred al frequent intervals to keep the several ingredients thorough ly mixed.

Jump;no Cocoors

Many visitors to the southwestern states and Mexico have amused them selves by watching the queer motions of jumping beans. the seed vessels of plant. each of which contain the pupa of an insect whose spasmodic movements cause the bean to hop and roll about
 More remarkable are the jumping cocoons' found in South Africa. The cocoon is formed by the mother in- sect and is very hard. The pupa when ready to emerge must cut it's way out. The front of its head has a sharp. chisel-like edge. and by driving this against the inside of the shell it grad ually makes hole. The violent mo- uons of the pupa within cause the CO., coon to leap so that one has been seen to spring out of a small glass tumbler. St. Louis Republic.
