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. business. time while working for $3§r a month in a real estate office until they had advanced in value to $3,000, when I sold them to a St. Louis man. “It was nearly 3 o’clock, and I hur ried to the bank.

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. “ ‘It is closing time now-,’ he said, ‘and you had better not make your de posit until morning.’ “‘Charley,’' I said, for I knew him well, ‘that is ridiculous.

Everything in the rearing, of young poultry depends upon their care and management at least until well feath ered. Fowls inclined to fatten too easily are not good layers. .The flesh they earry makes them lazy, and this never promotes laying. Middlings make a good food for poul try, but if wet up alone it is too sticky.

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.

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.

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.

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. ___ Sympathetic.

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. ~ Then the baby is most like ly nervous, and fretful, and doesn’t gain in weight.
