Highest of U fo Leavening Power. Latest U.S. Gov't Report AD&OVUXWOl PUHE SHE TAUGHT HIM A LESSON. 4 Traveling Man Who Discovered That He Annoyed the Wrong Girl. As tliedrnmnior oume into the miiokor a man in the corner got up and went out rather burriodlr. "You seoin to have a bad efleot on that party," remarked a wan from Chi oauo. "Well, yen," laughed the drummer; "he doexn't like to nee me around. "Who is he?" "I don't know hit name, tint I hap peiied to see bim utterly put to ront on a train once, and now whenever he sens me he feelt better to get ont of the way. " "Whutwaa it? Tell na about it," tame in chorus. "He's one of the kind of traveling men who are always discreditable to the DrofoHsion, and I think bo travels for some third rate houte in New York. never saw him nntil the day I saw bim get what be deserved, and from what I have seen of him since I should say it had taught him a valuable lesson. It was on a train going out of Louisville, and there was a pretty girl ahead, wbo was of the type that grows into virago- hood porhaps, but of that let us not talk, In any event, she had a section iu the middle of the oar, aud this fellow came in, and after looking the territory over sat down where he could look into her face. There was no other person on that side of tho car, and only two old ladies and myself on the other. He bad just begun to ogle the girl by grinning and gazing at her when she ohangod her place and turned her back on him. In a few minutes be bad taken the seat be yond and had begun his operations again. She stood it some time and changed ber position again. Ho did the same, waiting quite a little while, so as not to attract too much attention. She changed again, and he went to the smoker. Then I stepped over and asked her if she needed my services in stop ping the annoyance. She thanked me and said she would attend to it herself. Pretty soon he oame baok and sat down facing ber ugain, with a smile as if he thought he was having a great joke. She ohanged again, aud so did he. Thin time I could see her cheeks redden and could almost hoar ber eyos snap as she reached over and opened a little hand bag by her side. She took from it a re volver, aud as she looked up again she nodded and smiled as if she wanted him to come to her. But she didn't, though it looked that way when she got np and taking a few steps stood in front of him. Thou she shoved tho revolver close to his face. "'Thore, ' sbo said, loud enough for us all to henr, 'that's loaded, and if you look at me again I'll put a portion of its contents into your agly face. ' "She trembled so as she spoke that the revolver shook in her hand, but she turned and walking firmly baok to her place, sat dowu again, and the remark able part of it was she sat so if he raised his face bo would look directly at her. But he didn't raise his face. IIo slunk out toward the smoker, and lie never oame baok. I've met him several times since," concluded the drummer, "but I have never seen bim so niuoh as look the second time at a lady on a traiu. " Detroit Free Press. Ludicrous Huge. Possibly as ludicrous a thing ax ever happened was tho experience of my friend, Professor Roswoll Park of Buf falo. A mau's life had been saved by the beautiful surgical skill of a success ful laryngotoaty. Whon health bad been restored, my friend proposed to his pa tient the insertion of an artificial larynx, no that vowel tones, or true voice, could be added to the whisper that necessarily resulted from the absence of the vocal chords. This apparently highly desir able thing was done, but the tone, of course, was uniform. There was no change of pitch posisble to the mechan ical larynx, and expression, modulation, timbre everything that makes voico pleaeaut and more than useful was ab sent The man could sneak, convey ideas porfectly, but when ho tried to give emphasis, nuances, shadings, dl verse nioaiiiugs and especially when he tried to express emotion, anger or resent ment there were only the monotonous drone aud squeak of the intolerable ma chine. Nothing could control the con vulsive laughter of tho surgeon and as sistants. The poor man's indignation onght outlet in speech, but the very words of wrath were turned to outra geous absurdity by tho infernal device. In a spasm of ebullient rage ho tore the mechanism out of his throat, cursed the tuau who had saved his life and is probably running aud hoarsely whisper ing invectives at him still. He never caiue back. 'Dr. George M. Oould't "Meaning aud Method of Life. " A Black tiheep. Mrs. Highmind It worries me tick to think how my little boy is growing up without a taste for literature. Friend Hasn't he auy? Mrs. Highmind Not a bit. I bought bim a beautifully bound copy of Rus kin's "Seven Lamp of Architecture," aud I actually had to whip him to tuakt him read it New York Weekly.

Changes Inaugurated by the Young Worn, an of the Period, The young woman of the period wean pajamas. They are of silk or fine flan nel, as her taste aud her purse may di rect. Sometimes they are of solid colors, but more often of stripod material. They are very different from tho voluminonf white confection she has beeu in the habit of wearing, and evon in tho inert color they are distinctly loss charming than tho snowy linen whioh the ladies of the old school claimed to be the first requisite of a gentlewoman's wardrobe. But, then, that saying originated before the days of the gentlemanly girL The young woman whoso daring ceases before she reaches pajamas, but who has longings for something else than frills and furbelows, compromises on a shapeless sacklike concern pat terned after a man's nightshirt She tries to delude herself into the belief that the straight collar band is "neater' ' than the old time ruffle opening over a V. She tries to think that she prefers plaits dowu the frout of her garments to ja bots, aud that tiny studs fastening her nightdress are more to her mind than ribbon bows. Perhaps she succeeds. But she will surely nevor sucoeed in bring' iug an impartial world around to her way of thinking. Tied Her Hair Too Tightly. Dr. Thau of Elizabeth aud Dr. Hat field of Lenchtowu performed a success ful though a very unusual and difficult surgical operation lately. Miss Myra Simmons of Standing Stone, a hand some young woman, with long, luxuri ant hair, had been in the habit of twist ing her tresses so tightly in a knot at the back of her head that the pressure had loosened the scalp from the skull. The scalp was taken off, the coagulated matter that bad gathered under it re moved, the scalp stitched on again, hair and all, and the young woman will re cover. It is said to be the only case of the kind known in medical scienoe. Philadelphia CalL Ripe With Woman's Work. This year of our Lord 1805 promises to go dowu in history as a year ripe with woman's work. During the past mouth many interesting objects have beeu treated. In New York city the womon have taken action to control vice, and the W. C. T. U. presentod to congress a petition signed by 8,000,000 persons iu the intorcst of tempernnce. Tho petition had just completed a cir- onitof the globe and had beeu added to by every nation. And last, but not least, at a dinner given in Washington by the woman suffragists Aunt Susan An thony was pensioned on an annuity of $800. Bidgewood (N. J.) News. Newark's Mew Club. A new woman's club was formed in Newark, N. J., by three members of Sorosis, in connection with other ladies well known in that city as engaged in churob and philanthropic work. The name of the olub is Philitsoipoma a name coined from the club, which re fers to philosophy, philanthropy, litera ture, science, poetry, oratory, music and art. The club expects in due season to join the New Jersey State Federation of Clubs. Bev. Phebe A. Hanaford is president, and Miss Florence Corlies is corresponding socretary. Miss Comes la a niece of Mrs. McCullough, treasurer of the New York State Federation. Was Willing to Serve. The Chicago papers toll how Mrs. Marion Robertson of that oity earned (3 very easily the other day. Having voted at tho last election, she was summoned for jury duty. The judge told ber he had no doubt she would make a good juror, but as the law barred her sex when it came to jury service be would have to excuse her. "I ara willing to serve, " replied Airs. Robertsou. "Well, a venireman who is willing to serve it entitled to his or her pay when reject ed," said the judge. "The clerk will give you a warrant for f 3." The war rant was handed to ber with her sub poena for a souvenir. Apple Fritters.

The Limited Art Gallery In the Depart ment of State at Washington. The department of ttate at Washing tun hus now an art gallery, limited to a certain class of paintings, of which there is no snperior collection in the world. This collection has been recently hnng with much good taste in one of the rooms devoted to the reception of the diplomatic corps wben any of its members call to see the secretary. The collection embraces the oil por traits of every secretary of state, begin ning with Thomas Jefferson, down to and including Thomas F. Bayard. Some of the likenesses are said to be most excellont, and a few are thought by experts to be wretchedly poor. Mr. Bayard's is one of the latter, although the government paid a handsome sum to tho artist for her work. AH these portraits were on exhibition at thu World's fair at Chicago and have re cently been received at the state depart ment. Where they are now bung visit ors can readily see them without the formality of red tape or the granting o." authority by any of the functionaries of the department. The collection is a most valuable one and will soon be in creased by portraits of Mr. Bluine, Sec retary Foster and later of Secretary Uresham. A striking fact in the col lection was the number of secretaries who preferred to wear no hirsute adorn ments. John C. Calhoun was the only one prior to Secrefary Bluine who wore whiskers. Baltimore Sun. Gold Nuggeta. Tie structure of gold nuggets wa the subject of a paper recently read bo- fore the New South Wales Royal socie ty by Professor Liverbridue. Among other facts stated was the peculiarity of such nuggets, on being cnt through or sliced and polished and then etched by chlorine water, of exhibiting a well marked crystalline structure closely re sembliug the figures shown by most me tallic meteorites. Un heating such uug gets in u Buusen burner blobs or blisters form on both the poliahed and unpol ished surfaces, and on still more strong ly heating these iu some cases burst with sharp reports, aud pieces or gold are projected with considerable vio lence. As no explosions have been ob sorved on dissolving or eating away the crusts of these blisters by chlorine wa ter it is thought that the blebs may probably be due to the evaporization of some liquid or solid substance, f urtlier, in slicing some nuggets, scattered gran nies of quartz were met with inside, al though quite invisible outside. At first it was supposed that snch explosions might be due to the qnurtz, but the gas in some instances continued to issue from tho burst bleb where the aper ture formed was small and forced the Bunson flame out into lateral, just as if urged by a blowpipe. . The Samoan Mascot. In time of war it is the tapo's duty to lead on to combat the warriors of her village, and she is often in the thick of the skirmishing, but should she be wounded or killed it is a pure accident, as the Samoans have the greatest horror of hurting a woman in any way, and would not even injure their enemy's tapo. There is a story told of how, dur ing the war which was carried on in Upolu for a considerable timo, five or six years ago, two armies hud met and wore drawn up, blazing into each oth er's lines, when a native woman ap peared with a cow she wished to place in safety. The eutire firing was imme diately suspended ou both sides till she aud her charge had crossed the liues and were completely out of harm's way. The women could rely so thoroughly on the gallantry of their countrymen that they had no fear during the fight ing, and would take food to their hus bunds and brothers at any time, and pass through tho ranks of the warriors of the belligerent army with perfect impunity; us long as the daylight lasted and they could be easily seen they were quite safe. "In Stevenson's Samoa," Marie Fraser. Europe's Suffering Poor. The suffering among the London poor this winter is not so great as was ex pected, says a correspondent. It has been about an average winter for the nnemployed. There has beeu only about a week 'of severe weather, which facj has greatly mitigated suffering. London is now rejoicing in pleasant skies und springlike air, influences under which the grass has been always green, and shrubs are now putting out their leaves, and tiees are beginning to bud. A very different story comes from eastern Europe. In districts in Russia the winter is so severe that wolves are unusually fierce. The other day at Saratoff a peasant woman walking neat the village was surrounded and de voured by a pack of nine wolves. An other peasant going to market was set upon by a pack of wolves and torn tv shreds. Nothing was left of man and horse but a few bones and tufts of hair. She Ha a Valet. Well known women, such as Lady Do Urey, Lady Rosslyn, the Dowager Lady Dudley, Lady Florence Bourkeaud Lady Wolverton, have taken to bicy cling in costume derigneur. Apropos de "bike," a young lady recently arrived at a country bouse, says Vanity, bur impedimenta consisting of a pair of guns, a set of golf clubs, a bicycle, a maid uud a valet, the latter being re quired to act as a loader, to rub dowu her "bike," varnish her boots aud act ns caddie on the golf links. Of a verity this it the coining woman with a veage ance. Annexation at lluatoQ. The Massachusetts legislature is mov ing in the direction of a "greater Bus ton." It it proposed to annex to the Hub all towns and cities within IU mi let of Boston and all the seashore from Marblebead to Hull. The consoli dation will give Boston a large area and greater population and will benefit the otbrr places by giving them im provements which tbey could not other wise afford. Detroit Free Press).

Detroit Froe Press. Velocities, of Carrier Pigeons. During a recent test of carrier pigeons made on the Eiffel tower with birds from various French stations, the first bird covered 0Uj' miles at a speed of 47 miles an hour, and inner birds mude 204 miles at a speed of 43 miles an hour. These rote-tare lower than iu for mer years.

Wins Cheaper Than Water. A Greek journal states that so great Is the quantity of wine now iu stock on tho island of Cyprus that last year's crop remains it glut ou the market, and if we are to believe further accounts wine there hns become cheaper than wa ter. In the village of Tseliakistra a mer chant who was having a house built is said to have provided tiie masons with wine instead of water to mix with the niortar. Public Opinion. A GIANT'S TKODHLK.
