A curious coincidence In this pecu lating batik clerk business Is that the batik mostly llnds the clerk out by tlio time that It llnds Itself out consider ably. Look lifter tho transmitter of your telephone, see that It Is kept clean, and you may possibly escape Infection and an unforeseen doctor's bill, llesldes, not to do It Is wrong. A woman In New York the other day thrashed two street car rowdies who were making things too Interesting for the conductor. Thus does woman's sphere widen as she becomes the chain liloti of weak man and the redressor of his wrongs. If It Ib left to China to select the olll dais who are to be punished, few of them will suffer. It Is an old trick In China to select n substitute and bribe him to die for the mike of the family. Human life Is cheap there, and this sort of "iulck life lusuraucc" Is common. Tho man who experimented on his face with a chemical preparation war ranted to remove the beard without a razor has acquired some Information ns to the action of certain acids on the human cuticle which will be of advan tage to other adventurers as well as himself. This would be a dull world If nobody had any curiosity and every body had hciihc. The possible philanthropist, undecld rd whether to give to his native town a library or a reformatory, a gymnasium or a hospital, may Ilud his answer In a recent conversation. A clergyman vis iting In Cleveland accosted a well known settlement worker to tell of a due reform school In his place. The citizens were very proud of It. "And how about the schools for good boys In your townV" came the answer. "Are they anything to be proud of?" The. vis itor stared, but he did not know. Spanish public men assert that the loss of Its colonial possessions has con tributed to the prosperity and strength of Himln. Klnce pence was declared and friendly relations have been re-established with the United States the material progress of Spain has been re markable. Not only have the larger cities experienced a change for the bet ter, but places of less Importance throughout the kingdom have shown wonderful Increase In manufacturing luduMrlcs. Commerce In geheral has been making rapid progress, and that between Spain and the United States during the past year has been gieater than at any time since 1SSI. Krom which It appeai-H that national calami ties may be transmuted Into national blessings, If that spirit In men or na tions which rises superior to despair bo not absent. Tho questloe has been raised ns to whether girls of 'JO ought to be allowed to choose their own reading, ami whether there are not pitfalls In libra ries for those who are permitted to browse about at will. Like other prob lems of this kind, one Is compelled to admit that It all depends upon the girl, and If the girl Ik (Ike most girls of i!0 It will not much matter what one says; (die will have her way. The dlllleulty about putting only the best books In a girl's way Is like that of Insisting upon a certain kind of porridge; It may re milt In u distaste for books of any kind. There are times In a girl's life when Bhe prefers pickles to the most whole home article of diet, and when she en joys the clandestine consumption of choeolatt) creams more than the most nourishing of family feasts. There Is the plekle and chocolate stage In novel reading, and a time when the Darning bit of llctlon under the pillow Is worth u dozen of tho Hlaudanl novels on tho library hhelves. Hut a girl who escapes for a time from a prosaic world Into an Imaginary kingdom of perpetual love makings, Hoplcl by feverish scraps of femininity, comes at last to detect and be repelled by the uuuaturaluess and absurdities. In lime she will come to have a natural hunger for the normal and the true, Just us sho gets over her ubuormal cravings for pickled and chocolates. Fertile as Chicago Is In crime, and always leading the lists with Its contri butions to the weird and horrible, the last offering surpasses any since tho I'ddcntook case, A young woman Is In duced to lusuie her life and transfer the policy to her betrothed husband. Then bhe dies under peculiarly suspicious circumstances (hat point to the bene tlclary under the policy transfer, ami the Insurance companies resist pay incut upon the assumption that she has been murdered In order to defraud them. The lover and a practicing phy sician Is placed under arrest. It Is thou tihowu that there was a conspiracy formed by three or four more, two of whom were detectives, of whom one U In custody. Then, as was to lw ex pected, the whole case was revealed, ud tho dctcclWv, to vuvi kin mUerable lift "squealed." From what has beca revealed the crime was heartless and deliberate beyond credence. The girl was mndc the object of special atten tion before she was, led to engage her self to the man chosen to 1111 the role of lover. He deliberately won her heart and confidence, and It was therefore no mere opportunity that led the rascals to commit their Infamous deed. They planned the crime first, and thou went out to seek n victim and found her In an Innocent and respectable young woman, whose life was sacrificed In cold blood and for the most sordid purposes. Ofllclnl npproval encourages women to don tho short skirt. The State Hoard of Health of Connecticut, through Its secretary, Dr. 0. A. Llnd ley, describes long skirls on tile streets ns pickers of tilth. The short skirt Is especially commended to teachers ns a guarantee to that extent that microbes j will not be swejit by It from the thor oughfares Into the schoolroom. Not for i teachers only but for all women Is tho I short skirt to be commended for out-1 doors. Its advantages are many. It ' enables n, woman to walk more freely, throwing her shoulders Imck, keeping her hands and arms for defense In enso of attack or accident nnd nt the same time protecting her from entanglement In wheels or other obstructions In case of runaways. For this reason me Iron tradition of the loug-tralued saddle gown has been broken, That tradition sacrifices more lives ninong women riders than all other causes of horse back fatalities. Tlio hygienic virtues of the short skirt are so obvious that they need no recapitulation. Even on the dry and clean walks of private grounds ami dwellings a trailing skirt Is llnblei to gamer microscopic germs. Tho dust of u city llnds Its way through the closest tloors and windows and burrows with Its pests In carpets. For city streets the long skirt Is an mazing sign of stupidity on the part of the wearer. The hour may arrive when ordinance will forbid crossing sweeping by textures certain to trans port danger from ordure and sputa Into public halls, churches and schools to the peril of humanity. It Is perversely claimed by some too fanatical oppo nents of tho common-sense skirt that nil women wear the short skirt out doors now except those whose feet are not properly shod or are otherwise un presentable. This Is clearly a slander. A man was arrested the other day for deserting his wife. Now, this thing of marrying a woman and then running away from her Is bad. It ought to bo generally discouraged. Still, there would seem to be exceptions even 111 matters of this kind. The man In the case appears to have had provocation. "She went to an astrologer," ho explain ed to tlio magistrate, "and the astrolo ger told her she was going to be mar ried twice. living her tlrst, I decided that It was up to me cither to die or quit, and not wanting to die I thought I'd quit." Wo can't blaino this poor man for wanting to get out of his pre dicament In the easiest way ho could think of. There was the word of tho astrologer, for which the woman had paid $'J out of her husband's earnings. Was It for the latter to remain and take his chances? Obviously lie could not do so without showing a contempt for life or exhibiting a disbelief In that which was perhaps a solace and a comfort to his wife. There was logic In ills deci sion to take himself out of the way and give tho other Mltiw n chance, , but the woman, being tlctormliUHl thnt ho should escape none of the hardships that fate had mapped out for him, went to the police and had the matt arrested. Then n Justice, with no Idea of the lit hcsh of things, ordered the husband to go back to his wife nnd support her, and there was nothing left for him to do but obey. It Is such cases as this that cause pessimism to spread In the world. The woman has her next hus band to look forward to, hut what hope can there lie for the man? What Incen tive can he have to go ahead and accu mulate wealth, knowing that the astrol oger or the second husband will get what Is left out of the household ex penses? In some respects It Is still a sad old world. Near KiioiikIi. A group of men were exchanging sto ries of adventure In n grocer's store In a small Western town. "I've been In camp," said one of them; "only came down yesterday. One morn ing last week I struck the trail of a grizzly about half a mile above the camp. I followed that trail without let un till about half-past four that afternoon, ami then I gave It up, ami ! went back to cntnp." "What possessed you to quit after mittltiK In n whole day's work?" asked ! one of his listeners. Well, to tell tho truth," said the grlKzly'a follower, shifting his weight ponderously from one leg to tho other, j cent per annum and tho cosU and dis "It seemed to tue tho trail was gettlug burseuionta ol this uotlou. altogether too fresh."
