NEW CENTURY WOMEN.
The Unique Club Organized by Mrs. Ing
ham In Cleveland.
One of the outgrowths of the Cleve
land centennial is a unique woman’s
club which has just been organized.
Nothing could be broader or more lib
eral than the lines on which this club is
founded. There is nothing of the ex
clusive about it. Any woman, irrespec
tive of age, occupation, religion or na
tionality, may become a member.
Civic pride and local patriotism are
responsible for the club’s birth and the
promotion of these qualities is its chief
object. It is to be called the Woman’s
New Century Club of Cleveland and the
Western Reserve, and its constitution re-

cites that it has for its object “the study
of the city of Cleveland and tho sur
rounding country, its history, present
needs and commercial achievements,
■wonderful waterways, geology, flora
and fauna, as well as the survey of
every branch of woman’s work, espe
cially that pertaining to the happiness
of the home. ”
Interested in the new club are the
most prominent women in Cleveland.
Mrs. Mary B. Ingham, who presided at
the first meeting, has long been an
active figure in all sorts of enterprises ■
managed by women. She was the presi
dent of the woman’s department at the
recent city centennial and has been a
leader in organizing the new movement.
In religious and philanthropic work
Mrs. Ingham has accomplished a vast
amount of work and has gained the
reputation of being a great organizer.
In 1874 she was one of the foremost
women in the temperance crusade and
aided in forming the Woman’s National
Temperance union, which eventually
became the Woman’s Christian Tem
perance union, of which she became
the first treasurer. For nine years she
devoted all her energies to work in the
slums, until-she was forced to desist be
cause of ill health, and today she is one
of the earnest supporters of the Salva
tion Army. She has also found time to
interest herself in educational work and
to write many articles for the maga
zines. She has also produced a book,
“Women of Cleveland and Their
Work,” and at present has another vol
ume under way.
HE HAS GOOD EYESIGHT.
Charlt-H S. Monnier Can Write a Book <>u
a Postal Card.
Charles S. Monuicr, secretary of tho
Detroit wheelmen, is ayoung man with
remarkably good eyesight and an am
bitious soul. For years Mr. Monnier has
been hunting for a record to smash. It
was useless for him to attempt to de
molish any of the bicycle records, be
cause the field was already overcrowd
ed. Finally he heard of a man who had
established a record for writing the
most words on a postal card.
Here was a c'/mce fc.r Mr. Mpnniet
and he Seized 'ft eagerly. He learned
that the champion postal card penman
had succeeded in placing 7,068 words
on one of Uncle Sam’s penny missives.
His soul was fired with ambition, and he
started in to ‘‘see the champion’s 7,068
words and “go him a few thousand bet
ter. So he began his task. Choosing the
novel “Portia,” by the Duchess, he be
gan to copy it on a postal card, using
characters so small as not to be distin-

guishable to the naked eye. Finding
that his eyes would not stand the strain
for more than a few hours at a time, he
adopted a systematic plan of work. For
three hours at a sitting he works two or
three times a week, writing about 1,000
words at each installment. He uses a
very fine steel pen and purplish ink and
dees not prepare the surface of the card
in any way, although he says he could
economize space much easier if t-he post
al card were made of calendered paper.
At last accounts the postal card was
not more than half covered, and yet
8,302 words had been written on it.
Mr. Monnier feels certain that he will
have over 16,000 words on the card
when his work is completed, but he is
not worrying, for he is already elated at
having wrested the championship away
from the wretched individual who could
only write 7,000 words on a card. This
is not Mr. Mofmier’s first performance
in this line, for he has often written
whole letters on the back of a postage
stamp and once succeeded in placing
763 words on the gummed surface.
The cure of rheumatism has often
taxed medical skill, but its prevention
has been very easy by an occasional
use of Simmons Liver Regulator. It
keeps the liver well regulated, and
the system free from poison. Therein
is the secret of health. “I have used
it for years for Indigestion and Con
stipation, and also found it gives one
relief from a touch of rheumatism.” —

New Y’ork Boy®.
“Mister, won’t yer give us er lift?”
The speaker was a boy of 10, with an
expression of weariness on his face. The
one spoken to was a youth of about 22,
with a shade of a mustache. ' The object
referred to was a bag about three feet
high, which seemed to be filled with
some heavy material.
“Certainly, my, boy,” replied the
youth, "I'll help you on with it.”
True to his word, he grabbed the bag
around the center and proceeded to lift
it on to the boy's shoulder' Suddenly
unearthly yells and shrieks came from
within, and the object, whatever it vyas,
began to kick with such force that the
youth dropped the bag and proceeded to
hold his hands to his stomach as if in
great pain.
The boy and several bystanders were
shaking with laughter. A moment later
the top of the bag opened, and a lad of
8 scampered away as fast as he could
run..
"Fooledl” yelled .all-the boys at the
youth as they scampered ester the
youngster.
That is what they call the “bag
game.” It is something new, and it
originated on the east side, but who in
vented it no. one knows. The idea sim
'piy is to get a ferocious youngster to en
ter the bag and then have some unsus
picious person lift it. The yells and
shrieks and kicks will not fail to upset
his mental and perhaps physical equilib
riuni. and the youngsters will have a
great laugh as a result. New York

Tartar Medicine.
Formerly musk was used as a medi
cine in various parts of the world, but
doctors in civilized lauds do not hold
musk in high repute. In China it is
still thought to be a very good medicine,
but the Chinese have queer notions
about cures and charms. Abbe Hue, a
distinguished traveler, says that when a
Tartar doctor finds himself without his
drugs and medicines he is not in the least
embarrassed. He writes the names of the
needed drugs on slips of paper, and
these, being rolled up in little balls, are
swallowed by the sick man. “To swal
low the name of a remedy or the rem
edy itself,” say the Tartars, “comes -n
precisely the same thing.” Noah
