STRENGTH IN SOME FORM
'Tlie Quality Above All Else Tiistl
Woman Admires In Man.
Women abhor -cowards and stiH more
sneaks, though I regret to say they
often endure cads in a way that belies
their intelligence and good taste. They
have a quite pathetic desire to look up
to men, to feel men their superiors in
strength of body and of mind, in calm
ness of judgment and clearness of in
tellect. And it is indeed a pity that
men so often seem to go out of their
way to destroy their most cherished
illusions.
Above everything a woman admires
strength in a man. It may be strength
of body—she will worship a Hercules
with the brain of a guinea pig. It may
be strength of intellect—she will adore
a savant with the body, of a gibpon
monkey. It may be strength cf char
acter—she will break her heart for a
politician or a financier who is un
swervingly wrapped up in dreams of
personal advancement, and who pos
sesses no more heart than an oyster.
But strength in some form she craves
unceasingly. It is a hereditary in
stinct that has been bequeathed to her
through Eve’s first disappointment
when Adam was tried in the balance
and found wanting. Woman, secretly
conscious of her own physical weak
ness and lack of intellectual strength,
demands strength from man to make
up for her own deficiencies. Even the
strongest women, strong in body and
mind, welLbalanced as Athene herself*
though they may shield and protect
the weakness of the men they love
and stoop to help them, will never do
so without a secret feeling of contempt
which is destruction of all ideals. Man,
in spite of that deplorable start made
by Adam, was intended to be woman’s
protector and refuge from all harm,
upon whom she could lean and rely in
every event of life’s pilgrimage, and
when the roles are reversed, as they
often so unfortunately are, it is a bad
thing both for man and 'woman.
Strength, however, is what women
love in men.—Lady Colin Campbell.

PLOWING WITH ELEPHANTS
Barnaul’s Reply to the Farmer Wire
Asked Whether It Would Pay.
. It may be said of P. T. Barnum that
he was the major domo or lord oi
laughter and fun, the protean dispenser
of amusement. How well he became
known through this function one curi
ous incident certifies. Some years be
fore he died an obscure person in some
remote part of Asia wrote a letter,
which he dropped in the postoffice near
him, directed to “Mr. Barnum,'Ameri
ca.” The letter reached its destination
without an hour’s delay. The great
showman unaffectedly enjoyed being
known from the very beginning of his
celebrity, and when he found his celeb
rity was a tremendous factor in his suc
cess he did everything that he could
think of to extend the exploitation of
his name. This was not to nourish
vain imaginings or because he felt ex
alted. It was to promote business.
Around his successive homes at
Bridgeport, Gonn., he was fond of put
ting something that suggested a show.
Queerly marked cattle, the sacred cow
or an elephant was frequently among
the , stock to be noticed in his fields.
On one occasion he had an elephant
engaged in plowing on tlie sloping hill
where it could be plainly seen by the
passengers on the New Haven and
Hartford railroad, an agricultural inno
vation that he knew would get notice
of some sort in every newspaper in the
country. It was even said that he re
ceived letters from farmers far and
wide asking how much hay one ele
phant ate and if itwas more profitable
to plow with an elephant than with
horses or oxen. His replies were in
variably frank and were of this pur
port: If you have a large museum iu
New York and a great railway sends
trains full of passengers within eye
shot of the performance, it will pay,
and pay well, but if you have no such
institution then horses and oxen will
prove more economical.—Joel Benton in
Century.

PRECOCIOUS AUTHORS
Successful Plays That Were Written
by Boys In Their Teens.
Was a successful play ever written
by a boy of fourteen? asks a corre
spondent. Yes. This seeming miracle
has happened at least three times. The
best known example of the precocious
playwright is the celebrated Lope de
la Vega, the most prolific dramatist
known to history. He produced his
first play, a comedy, entitled “La Pas
toral de Jacinto,” before he had com
pleted his fourteenth year, and this
was considered such a marvelous per
formance that he is known to this day
in Spanish literature as “the Prodigy
of Nature.” Another Spaniard and con
temporary of La Vega, Pedro Calde
ron, wrote his- first play when he was
thirteen. Metastasio wrote his tragedy
“Giustino” and had it produced when
he was fourteen on the stage at Bo
logna.
Of English playwrights Douglas Jer-
rold, the famous author* of “Black
Eyed Susan,” also furnishes an answer
to the question. Ip 1818, before he had
completed his fifteenth year, he wrote
a very well known farce entitled
“More Frightened Than Hurt” It was
very successful on the English stage,
and the French considered it good
enough to steal. Curiously enough,
this French translation was retrans
lated into English and again produced
on the English boards under the title
of “Fighting by Proxy.” Another very
remarkable instance of a different sort
of precocity was that of William Hen
ry Ireland, who when he was about
fifteen actually produced some plays
which, he attributed to Shakespeare
had which, although afterward proved
be forgeries, were accepted by the
experts of the time as genuine.—Pear-
, son’s Weekly.

WEDDING SUPERSTITIONS
Exercise Without Exertion.
Mark Twain occasionally makes a
grim effort to earn a reputation as
a philosopher. Recently he laid
down the dictum that a malarial
chill has one advantage, for through
its agency, according to his concep
tion, it is a means by which “an all
wise Providence has devised a way
by which man can indulge in exer
cise without exertion.”
The pride should not fail to shed a
few tears on her wedding day. It is
an omen of good luck in the future.
It is unlucky for the bride to enter
the church before the ceremony at one
door and leave after the ceremony by
another door.
The bride should always cut the first
piefce of her wedding cake and pour out
the first glass of wine for her guests
if there aFe not top many.
If the bride drops her handkerchief
on the wedding day and the bride
groom picks it up, it is a sign that in
the future he will play second fiddle.
It is said to be unlucky to tie shoes
to any part of the carriage in which
the bride and bridegroom go away, but
It is lucky to throw an old shoe after
the bride as she enters the carriage.
In leaving the church the bride will
do well to place her right foot fore
most if she wishes to be happy,
healthy, etc., In the future, and she
should always be the first to call her
husband by name.
After the wedding breakfast and. re
ception the bride should be earefui to
throw away and lose all'the pins, if
there are any about her. The brides
maids should not keep the pins them
selves or they will retard their chances
of marriage.

Gainsboroagli and His Carrier.
One of the earliest members of the
Royal academy, it was Gainsborough’s
custom to have his pictures conveyed
to the metropolis by a prosperous Lorn
don carrier, a Mr. Wiltshire of Shock-
erwick, near Bath. This man refused
to accept payment on the ground that
he loved pictures too well. He was
not, however* .allowed to go unreward
ed, for Gainsborough presented him
with six of his best works, and some
idea of their ultimate value may be
gained from the fact that when at
length they were sold the National gal
lery secured two, “The Parish Clerk of
Bradford-on-Avon,” for 500 guineas,
and “The Harvest Wagon,” for £2,500,
these prices being considered low.
Later “The Sisters” from another gal
lery realized close upon £10,000.

The Detective Mirrors.
I have seen an odd device in an
cient houses, once in the quaint old
town of Newburyport, Mass., again
in a tiny Dutch settlement in Penn
sylvania. Over the front door,
right under a shuttered window
from which a housewife might peep
cautiously, was an arrangement of
two mirrors, where was reflected the
figure of any one who stood at the
front door seeking admittance. It
was a wonderfully handy device and
more, I think, in keeping with the
spirit of the times than the polite
deceit of today. “Not at home,”
which seldom deceives, callers or
peddlers.—Good Housekeeping. ___

Nature and Poetry.
Environment aids poetry, but does
not create it. Nature is the grand
agent in making poetry, and poetry is
present wherever nature is. It spar
kles on the sea, glows in the rainbow,
flashes from the lightning and the star,
peals in thunder, roars in the cataract
and sings on the winds. Poetry is
God’s image reflected in nature, as in
a mirror, and nature is present wher
ever man is. ~
