6 tfHE AMEKICDS DAILY TIMES-RECOltDER: FRIDAY, JULY 24, im. ARE WOMEN EVER MEANT Which Shows That Thera Are Some Who Are Very Cruel. "Heanr exclaimed Spar kins, as he lighted the last cigarette in the fourth bunch since morning. “Why, the mean ness of women toward each other is co lossal.” It was generally conceded at the clnb that yonng Sparkins was an authority on the female question. “Yon chaps may not know,” said he, •‘that a woman is always worried that something may lie wrong with the back of her dress. Well, that's feminine char acteristic, just as the habit of sitting on the floor when they put on their stock ings is. A woman on the streets is never perfectly at peace in regard to her ap pearance from the rear. She can look np and down the front all right, but un less she has a girl friend to advise her she is never sure nbont her back. “Now, you can imagine how easy it would be to upset the peace of mind of a nervously constructed woman by mak ing her fancy that some misplacement of attire at her hack is attracting the atten tion of people to her. Well, now, what do you suppose I have found out? Why, that there's an organised band of yonng female fiends who devote themselves at odd times to the business of breaking women up on the street by conveying to them the impression that their garments are making guys of them. The plan is to look straight at a certain point of the victim's skirt just as she is passing, and then to turn and cast up the eyes to the victim's face with a look in which pity and ridicnle are equally blended. “What do these imps do but go ont on to the avenue of an afternoon, distribute themselves at equal distances in pairs and proceed systematically to frighten every well dressed woman that comes along by their staring. And they gloat over the discomfiture they produce when they get together afterward. They were delighted the other day when they drove a laid; back to her house, about ten blocks away, after convincing her that her white underskirt was in full view. Now, what are you going to do with a sex that's so mean os all that?" “Nothing," replied one of the listening group. “What are you going to do?" “Well, I’ve got to take a couple of ’em out to supper tonight,” said young Sparkins. “After the theater?” some ono asked. “Oh, of course,” he replied. “These are theater ladies."—New York Letter.

Uncle Stephen, an old negro, had come to ent the grass in the front yard, and as Colonel Winter started out to his office be stopped to greet the old man. “Well, Stephen," said the colonel, “I hear that yon intend to give yonr son an educa tion." “Dat's what I docs, sah. 1 knows what tister straggle erlong widont lamin’, an’ 1 is ’tennined dat my son sha*nt babble bar’foot ober de same hard road dat I did.” “A noble resolution.

Tbs house of Thomas Owens, a well to do farmer at Valley station, waa entered Friday night by a masked burglar, who Secured about thirty dollars in money and several articles of clothing. The door of the family bedroom had not been locked, and the burglar entered without difficulty. He carried a dark lantern. In leaving tho room be looked at the sleeping ones, and saw the innocent face of Hr. Owens’ little daughter. He sud denly bent over and kissed her on the cheek. She awoke and uttered a loud scream. This aroused her father, who, springing up, spied the burglar. He was not quick enough, however, and was knocked senseless by a powerful blow on the head with the lantern the burglar carried.—Louisville Commercial. Kilkenny Cats. Dating the rebellion which occurred In Ireland in 1788, or it may be in 1608, Kilkenny was garrisoned by a troop of Hessian soldiers, who amused themselves in barracks by tying two cats together by their tails and throwing them serosa a clothes line to fight The officers, hearing of this croel practice, resolved to stop it As be entered the room one of the troopers, arising a sword, ent the tails in two as the animals hung across the Una The two cate escaped, minus their tails, through the open window, and when the officer inquired the mean ing of the two bleeding tails bring left in the room, he was coolly told that two cats had been fighting, and had devoured each other all bnt the tails.—Notes and Queries She Bed Bead About It. The trombone player was fitting a mouthpiece to his instrument with a good deal of care, and a young woman was heard to ask, “Mamma, what can that man he doing?” “I don’t know, my dear," answered the mother, as she leveled her glam upon the musician in qnestion, “unless he is winding bis born. You often road of players doing that, you know.”—Bos ton Post A Now 8lioo Ulackluc.

Trade marks may be registered for any arbitrary sign or symbol which is not descriptive; the government fee is twen ty-five dollars. Such marks ure the ex clusive property of the registrar for thirty years, and the time may be ex tended. A “label” is any descriptive tag, print or impression to be placed upon any article or its case, and it may be registered for twenty-eight years. Tho government fee for a label is six dollars; bnt if it contains any special mark or symbol, the office decides it to bo a “trade mark" instead of a label.— Washington Chronicle. Ticket Agenti and Counterfeit*. Counterfeit money comes into the hands of the railroad ticket agent more frequently than anywhere else. Bat this official of the great steel highway has to become an expert in detecting it, else his salary would suffer to the amount of spnrioos coin which he took in. The detection of counterfeits seems to become a sort of second nature with the ticket seller. To discover a bad pieco of silver is a comparatively easy matter, for it has a greasy feeling and very sel dom looks like good money. Even if it possesses these requisites of good coin it very seldom has the weight of the gen uine quarter, half dollar or dollar, and the lack of weight is perceptible by tak ing it in the hand. Bat to detect a bad hill is not, to the layman who is not burdened with han dling thousands of dollars each day, an easy task. The expert ticket agent will however, when counting a stack of hills ranging in value from one dollar to fifty dollars with great rapidity snap them in both hands one after another and pick out the counterfeits, seemingly by an acute sense of touch. Some ticket agents are marvelously clever in this way. The method used by the majority in detecting a bad bill is to hold it to the light and see if it contains parallel silk threads running horizontally through it. All gen uine bills contain these.—Albany Argus. Bow Some Seed. Travel. The most carious provision possessed by seeds for self dissemination is the hygroecopio awn. In the wild oat (avena fatua), for example, there is attached to the glamella (a small, leafy structure connected with the seed), a spiral awn covered with bomarons fine hairs, and this awn baa the power of expanding when moist and of contracting when dry. Thus the attached seed is constantly on the move with the changes in the weather, the hairs clinging to any object met with, until germination or destruc tion pats an end to its motion. The seed of barley, too, is provided with a similar awn, which is famished with minnte teeth that point toward its apex. The seed, when lying on the ground, naturally expands with the moisture of the night and contracts with the dryness of the day, bnt, as the teeth prevent its moving toward the point of the awn, all motion mast be in the di rection of the base of the seed, which will thus travel many feet from the parent stalk.—Knowledge. Carlyle 1 * Opinion of Washington. It is worth noting that Carlyle in bis sweeping assertion made no exception in behalf of Emerson, who perhaps bored him more than he dared acknowledge with his transcendentalism and effusions of the “over sonl." But one might have thought that he would have spared Washington. Far from that, we find him pleasantly remarking at somo grand dinner to Mr. Fields (a gentleman who, both by his writings and from all ac counts by the charm of his personal presence, most have done much to re move the Imputed odium from his countrymen): “That grate mon of yours —George" (“did any one under tho ran ever dream of calling Washington George before?” exclaims Miss Halford, who re counts the story)—“yonr greto mon, George, was a monstrous boro and wants taking down a few hundred pegsU—Ex change. Lags! Eipnm Over One Sovereign. The Textile Mercury calls attention to a recent bankruptcy case in which the liabilities exceeded £40,000, and there was an item of £333 for legs! expenses. Asked by the official receiver to explain how this was incurred, the bankrupt stated that the costs arose in connection with a dispute over a sovereign, as to which he denied his indebtedness. The myrmidons of tho Law were thereupon set to work, and after tho litigants had had their fill the “gentlemen by act of parliament” who hod been contacting the contest presented the debtor with n bill for £333.
