THINGS WE’RE ASHAMED OF
Why Is It That Women Always Seem
to Have Something to Apolo¬
gize For?
«■ ---— —
Isn’t It queer the sort of things we
are ashamed of? queries a western
woman writer. How often do we hear
peop’e apologizing profusely because )
they happen to live in an unfashion¬
able part of town. They will explain
and explain ad nauseam how they
came to be living in that house and
how very awkward it is having that
class of neighbors.
I have come to the conclusion it is
little short of a crime not to live in
the fashionable part of the city.
And then relations. Everybody
oeems to be ashamed of at least one
relation. In most cases the only ones
they are proud of are dead ones, a
long time dead, and very remote re¬
lations at that. But the living rela¬
tions always seem to be a cause of
shame—they never will live in the
right districts, build the right kintf
of house, bring up their children sty¬
lishly or indulge in the right kind of.
trade. Female relations will insist
upon marrying undesirable liusband 3 ,
and male relations always manage to
acquire vulgar or dowdy wives.
One stylish lady is wont to sigh j
elegantly as she murmurs “poor dear
George—peculiar wife, you know; I’ve
tried, but I really can’t include them
in my social affairs, you know.”
But of all the shameful shame pro¬
ducers the behavior of our babies is
the shamlest.
Our babies always will dirty theix
pinnies, ask for candy, wipe jammy
fingers on the visitor’s coat, demand
attention persistently and vociferous¬
ly, knock over the tea cups, spread
the c»ke crumbs all over the best
carpet and perpetrate all the other
hundred and one misdemeanors that
the dear lambs are heir to. They all
do It sometimes and they all do it
always on the days we earnestly
yearn for them to make a good im¬
pression.
So why are we ashamed of them
for being normal? Why do we all ex¬
plain at great length how Tommy
never behaves like this on ordinary
occasions and why do we persist in
being mortified so poignantly?—Ex¬
change.
HILL WANTED FAIR CHANCE
Wouldn’t Race Train With Boat if
Craft Was Going to Stick
to River.
One day, the story runs, when Jim
Hill was going in the railroad business
and the Great Northern was not the
fine system it is today, he was met in
St. Paul by the head of a big steam¬
boat company doing business on the
Great Lakes.
“Jim,” said the steamboat man, “I’ll
match one of my boats against one of
your trains In a fair race for $ 1,000
a side.”
Mr. Hill hesitated. “I don’t know,’*
said he, “some of your boats are
pretty fast.”
“I’ll race you upstream,” added the
steamboat man, as a further induce¬
ment.
“Oh!” exclaimed the other in a dis¬
gusted tone, “if you’re going to stick
to the river then you might as well
give up the notion of any race. I
thought you meant you’d bring your
boat out on the prairie alongside the
track and give me some show.”
Protestantism in France.
According to an article in the Revu©
the number of Protestants in France
Is decreasing. They now number 700,
000. The Lutherans, wHf, numbered
more than a quarter of » million In
1870, can now boast of a membership
of only 80,000 in France. The Calvin¬
ists are the most numerous Sect left,
numbering over half a million. But
they are losing ground. At the same
time the poi’dcal influence of the
French Protestants is out of all pro¬
portion to their numbers. This the
writer attributes to their superior
system of education, and above all to
their great wealth. Their wealth has,
however, tended to sap their exclusive¬
ness. They now pay less attention to
their religion, and the result is, says
the writer In the Revue, that Protes¬
tantism In France will In the near fu¬
ture be a thing of the past. This is
a rather bold conclusion, and It would
be Interesting to know If this alleged
decrease In the Huguenots Is correc*

INDEFINITE SUPPLY OF FOOD
Philadelphia Chemists Claim to Have
Made Discovery That Really
Is Revolutionary.
Artificial production of food by
merely chemical processes has always
been a dream of the scientific man. A
recent discovery brings this within
the possibilities, provided the chemist
ir allowed an organic cell to start
with. Prof. W. H. Lewis and his wife
of Johns Hopkins are reported to
have caused cellular substances to
grow Indefinitely outside or the or¬
ganisms to which they originally be¬
longed. Dr. Lewis now suggests that
this may enable men to “grow, meat”
on a commercial scale. A commenta¬
tor says; “What Dr. Lewis and his
1 wife claim to have actually accom¬
plished ts this: They have taken
pieces of chicken, placed them in a
saline solution and grown chicken
tneat. They have discovered that it Is
quite possible to cut off some of this
chicken meat without hindering further
growth, and the process can be repeat¬
ed indefinitely. They ..Iso claim that
the process can be applied to any sort
of flesh.”

Mis® Nellie Milner, left Monday for
