Nobody Ever Saw Two Women Who
Were ,lnst Alike.
One of the eoiistitui ionnl opinions of
the average man is that women are all
alike, writes Junius Henri Hrowne in
the. Ladies' Home Journal. It crops
out in his speech perpetually, some
times in the way of kindness and sym
pathy, oftener in tlu- way of derision
and contempt. en a wife lias for
given some great wrong donu by her
husband, when a mother has sacrificed
herself for her children, we hear: "It is
just like a woman." We hear the same
thing if she has deceived her lover or
involved her father in debt. This dis
sent is due to the fact that, some men
are sentimentalists, and that more men
are cynics. The former are always
praising women; the latter are general
ly sneering ut or decrying her; but both
think that she has only one nature.
The sentimentalist believes her to bo
good, gentle, loyal, truthful under
every circumstance; the cynic pro
nounces her had, hnrsli, inconstant,
hypocritical on instinct. Neither is
wholly right or wrong. Who is good
and bud, gentle and harsh, loyal and
inconstant, truthful and hypocrital.
Her qualities depend largely on the in
dividual, and the individual varies with
mood and environment. She is not cut
out of the ideal, nor is she drawn from
debasement. She is primarily human,
as man is; a compound of brain and
body, of strength nnd weakness, of
generosity and selfishness, of charity
and prejudice, of altruism and egotism,
of affection and aversion. Some wom
en are far better, some women are far
worse than the mass; but, better or
worse, they are fundamentally unlike
one another, and often unlike them
selves. Poets and novelists may, to a
gre.it degree, be responsible for the
average man's opinion of woman. Tho
poets have- ordinarily used her as a
vehicle of passion and romance; as a
source of light to set otf the darkness of
men's sins. She has been portrayed as
their better angel, as turning them
from vicious courses, as comforting
them in illness and alUiction, as recom
pensing and blessing them after all
their trials w ith her unalterable love.

JINRIKSHA SERVICE.
Three Thousand Japs May Wheel Their
Carts About the Tarlr..
Those who looked with so much curi
osity upon tho two jinrikshas, int.ro
iuced into Chicago last summer by an
enterprising merchant, and which were
ent back to Japan because they were
thought to interfere with alien contract
law, will be interested to learn that
there may be fifteen hundred or per
haps two thousand of the same ve
hicles ut Jackson park next year.
At the meeting of the ways and
means committee recently the matter
was discussed, and it was decided not
to take linn! action until it was learned
whether it would be possible to im
port the jinrikshas without again
clashing with the law. There is in
merica a sentiment against allowing
, human being to convert himself into
. beast of burden. The Japanese em
icrer also imposes the idea that his sub
ects are to take a degraded position be
, ore the world. And if the jinrikshas
tre introduced both of thes-i; opposing
elements must be overcome.
As a matter of fact, the opposition to
the jinriksha is by many considered
mere prejudice. At Jackson park they
would prove of great service. The
Japs who propel them are hardy little
fellows, w ho can travel further in a day
and keep up a harder pace longer than
it horse can. They are all intelligent,
and they would tind their way along
the boulevards in an easy manner and
would avoid a crush. If they arc
brought, into service a blockade will
never occur, and persons using them
will lie able to get about the grounds
easier than with a carriage arid horses.
If it is decided to bring the jinriksha
into use not less than fifteen hundred of
them will tie imported. It is probable
tb:it this legal question will b,e at once
referred to Attorney Carlisle, and as he
decides so will the committee act.

ONE GLIMPSE ENOUGH.
Boston Rehoolmnrms Who V ire nuap.
pointed In an Indian War Dane. i
yVhen the weather is warm and the
nights a little sultry, says the In-
dianapolis Journal, there are several
xmgonlal spirits who cluster about the
office of English's hotel, who draw their
chairs out on the pavement next to the
street and put in the evening very pleas-
antly relating stories hatched here and
there over the world and given an air-
ing, for their tellers are well along in
years and have had varied experiences,
Dr. , one of the company, was at
one time practicing medicine at an old
mission in California, where the Indians
used to gather occasionally, loaf around
all day and disperse at night. There
was one old redskin who would do the
tribe's war dance for twenty-five cents,
and did do it whenever there were
enough curious auditors to contribute I
that amount. The old Indian would
retire, and after removing what wear-
ing apparel he had, grease himself dis-!
mally with paint and come forth in a '
fury, go through his programme of gy-
rations and grewsome vocalization and
ri'tire, to the intense edification of those
who saw him.
One day some lady "schoolmarm"
tourists from the most decorous quar-
ters of the east came down to the mis-
sion. The old Indian was, as usual, on
hand, aud had soon entered into a con-1
tract to do the war dance for them.
The schoolma'ams were delighted. The
few people who weredtround the mission i
were surprised to think these effete
eastern ladies would care to witness a '
performance so doubtful of its results, 1
but said nothing. Presently the noble
redman appeared with a yell, a coat of it.
grease, a hatchet and about as free from
decoration of any other kind as nature
pleases to originally equip her human
tribe. With one composite scream the
Huston girls disbanded in all directions,

their carriage doors, to be driven just aa

MEDICINE IN PATAGONIA.
How Slek Children Are Treated in Our
routineers Southern Extremity.
The lioston (ilobe has learned the
medical treatment of sick children in
l'atugonla. As soon as the doctor ar
rives he looks at the sick child, and then
with much ceremony rolls it up in a
piece of skin, lie then orders a clay
plaster, and by this time the child has
ceased crying, soothed by the warmth
oft lie skin, and so renders still more
solid his reputation as a wise man.
Yellow elay is brought and made into a
thick cream with water, and the child is
painted from head to foot, causing him
to cry again. "The evil spirit is still
here," says the doctor, sagely, and un
does two mysterious packages he car
ries; one contains rliea sinews and the
other a rattle made of stones in a gourd
decorated with feathers. lie then
fingers the sinews, mutters something
for a few minutes, then he seizes the
rattle and shakes it violently, staring
very hard at the crying child, then
wraps it in the skin again and it ceases
crying. Again it is painted, rattled at,
and stared at, and again it cries. This
i dona four times, anil then the cure is
considered complete. The doctor leaves
the child quiet, enfolded in the warm
skin, and goes away, having received
two ninefuls of tobacco as his fee.
Strange to say, the ch; ' 'generally re-
covers, but if it does not the doctor gets
out of the difficulty by declaring that
the parents did not keep the medicine
skin tightly round the child, and so let
the evil spirit get back again. This
statement may possibly explain the
origin of the old nursery song which is
printed in all editions of "MotherGoose
Melodies," and has probably been sung
by every mother in America;
" Ily linby Dunlin,
Daddy's gone a huntin',
To get a little rabbit skin

GOOD IDEA FOR SPENDTHRIFTS.
A Reporter's Plan Whereby He Managed
to Have Money All Week.
A newspaper reporter who has wielded
a pencil for various journals in New
York for nearly a score of years told an
interesting story about himself to a
party of congenial friends including a
Commercial Advertiser man, the other
evening, that will bear repeating, lie
said that during the earlier portion of
his journalistic career he found it al
most impossible to lay aside any money,
notwithstanding the fact that he was
then a single man and earned a first
class salary. Try as he would the
money he received on Saturday for his
week's work would slip away from him,
and when Monday came around there
remained nothing for him to do but to
strike the cashier. Finally the cashier
became tired of being hit so early in
the week, and the reporter was warned
that he would have to give it up.
I managed it in one way and an.
-
other," said the writer, "but after a
time my friends also became tired nnd I
found myself in many embarrassing
positions, until I finally hit on a pecul
iar but altogether satisfactory plan."
"And what was that?" he was asked.
"Well, it was simply this: When 1 got
my money Saturday afternoon I went
over to the post otlice, purchased a regis-
te,l left,,,. nnvi.,n f ,
in it and addressed it to myself at the
otlice. Of course, the letter was not
delivered until Monday, and in that way
I managed to get along all right aud
finally save some money."

dashed downstairs, and at the sams
moment arrived my son pitchfork ir

There lay Thomas on his face in a dry
gutter by the side of the road to the
cow-house and the cow butting angrily
at him. We drove off the cow and poor
Thomas scuffled across the road, slipped
through a wire fence, stood up and drew
breath.
"Well, Thomas," said I, "what's the i
matter with Rose?" j
"Well, sir," said Thomas, "I heard .
the pup bark and untied him, and I was
just coming out of the cow-house with
the pup in my arms when Rose came
round the corner. She knocked me
down and would have killed me."
Thomas had, indeed, had a narrow
escape, his trousers were ripped up from
end to end, and red marks all along ms
legs showed where Rose's horns had
grazed along them,
"Well," said I, ''you'd better not
milk her this morning, since she's in
such a fury."
"Oh, I'll milk her right enough, sir,
by-and-by; just give her a little time to
settle down," said Thomas. "It's only

In about twenty minutes Thomas
called me down to see the milk. The

STILL A MYSTERY.
Kobody Has Vet Kxplained the Secret ot
OulJn'A Strune Power.
Ouija still flourishes in Boston, ac
cording to the Transcript, as a drawing-room
amusement. Now and then
it accomplishes something quite remark
able, as, for instance, the other night,
when a story-writer asked the question
of Ouija the story-writer not being at
the board, but sitting near by "What
is to be the
name
my
of
next story?'
No op
ie question
in kneut
but Ouija proceedi I irst

tle faltering and a wrong letter once,
the entire name was spelled out. It
must have been hit upon either by acci
dent which would be very remarkable
or else- must have sonn h -w got from
the mind of the only person who knew
the name to the fingers of the persons
who were at the board which perhaps
would be still more remarkable. One
young lady was told by Ouija that a
friend had a gift of lilies for her at the
office. To test the matter she went to the
office, and found him about t,j send her
an offering of lilies. Perhaps this was
simply a clever guess. It is a singular
thing that Ouija is generally inclined to
blackguardism and bad words, and has
been known to sweur violently
househohls where no oath was ever
heard. The spiritualists explain it on
the ground that the board is manipu
lated by an idle, impertinent sort of
suirits.
WHY THE STEPS SUITED HIM,
One of the Architect's I.(r Was Shorter
Than the Other.
Coming down the main walks from
the capitol to Pennsylvania avenue
there are groups of three or'four steps
that are very confusing to the average
pedestrian, and there is a queer inci
dent connected with their construction.
For years there was a man about the
capitol who made the study of steps
and persons going up and down stairs a
tnA nvwl cni.inna In n,atnl,,nr, nw,nrHc
fad and a science. In watching crowds
walking down the long approaches to
the capitol he discovered that by far a
greater number of persons stumbled on
those groups of steps than the record
ought to show. The attention of the
present capitol architect was called to
the matter, the Washington Post says,
but he was incredulous at the idea.
Why," said he, 'Frederick Olmstead,
the architect, took especial pains with
these groups of steps, I know." How
ever, they watched the tricky groups of
steps and discovered that it was really
astonishing the number of persons who
stumbled going up and seemed inclined
to fall in descending, but they were ut
terly at sea for any explanation.
Olmstead himself came here later.
The subject was brought to his atten-
tion, and he went down to watch the
steps himself. He was simply amazed
at the way people behaved when they
reached those steps. He said: "I can't
-'count for it. I spent weeks arrang-
inK the proportion of rise to tread for
them. Wooden models of them were
put nown ior use at my own place, ana
I walked over them day after day till I
felt sure they were perfect."
"Olmstead, isn't one of your legs a
trifle shorter than the other?" the step
savant inquired.
Olmstead was dumfonnded when it
flashed on him that owing to the ine
quality in the length of his legs he had
made steps to the capitol that were
suited only for people similarly af
cietd. Th First City to I se I'oul.

East Indian Artisans Generally Able to
Make He of the ITrheusile Toe.
Th trareler who walks in the native
quarters of the cities of India can easily
study there all industries in their be
ginnings, as they were probably prac
ticed in Europe in the middle ages.
The shops ar usually open and the
workmen can be seen inside; textile In
dustries, pottery, shoe making, joiner
kig, armoring, jewelry, confectioners
all can be observed in a single street,
like Chitpore street, Calcutta. If we
take pains to examine attentively the
met nous oi wornmg, i'"" -
by tho enormous function played by
the lower limb. Whatever the indus
try, the Indian, squatting or sitting on
the ground, worlts with his feet as well
as with his hands, and it might be said,
adds a writer in the Itevuo Scientifique,
that all four of his limbs are in con
stant exercise. The joinor, for ex
ample, has no asMMant to hold his
plank, but makes his pn-at toe serve
that purpose. Tin- shoemaker does not
employ a fixed ekimp f-T the shoe on
which'he is sewing, lr.it holds it in his
feet, which change p : ilion to suit his
convenience, while his nimble hands do
the sewing. The metal worker holds
the joint of his shears on his feet in
cutting copper.
In the malting of wooden combs I
have seen the com!) held straight up by
the feet, while the workman marked
the teeth with one hand and with the
other directed the instrument to cut
them. The wood turner directs the
hand-rest with his great toes; sot gen
erally, do Egyptian and Arabian turn
ers. In smoothing twine or sewing a
bridle the Indians hold the article be
tween the first and second toes. When
the butcher cuts his meat into small
pieces he holds the knife between the
first and second toes, takes the meat in
both hands ur.d pulls it. across the
knife. 1 have seen a child climb a tree
and hold a branch between his toes.
The great toe is capable of considerable
lateral movements from the second toe,
so that the Indian can easily pick up
articles from the ground with his foot
and even exert some force sidewise.

enter the court t in v stand still in as

MEADOWS IN ENGLAND.
They Are Probably tho Oldest and Tlest
J in tho World.
How and when men first learned to
make hay will probably never be known.
For haymaking is a "process," and the
product is not simply sun-dried grass,
but grass which has been partly fer
mented, and is as much the work
of men's hands as Hour or cider.
Probably its discovery was due to acci
dent, but possibly man learned it from
the pikas, the "calling hares" of the
steppes which cut and stack hay for the
winter. That idea would lit in nicely
with the theory that central Asia was
the "home of the Aryan race," if we
were still allowed to believe it, and
hay making is certainly an art mainly
practiced in cold countries for winter
forage.
Probably there are no meadows in the
world, says the Spectator, so good as
those in England, or so old. 'ct from
the early Anglo-Saxon times old
meadow has been distinguished from
"pastures," and has always been scarce.
Two-thirds of what is now established
meadow land still shows the marks of
ridge and furrow: and from the great
time required to make a meadow ten
years at least on the best hind, a hun
dred on the worst men have always
been reluctant to break up old pasture.
The ancient meadows, with their great
trees and close, rich turf, are the sole
portion of the earth's sm-fa:e which
modern agriculture respects and leaves
in peace. Hence the excellence of the

Hollnud's Throe Cities.
In the strange littb? country of
land the three principal cities are
Hoi-Am-
sterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague.
These cities, says the Dublin Inde
pendent, are a peculiar medley of canals
and streets, trees and masts, bridges
and boats. Amid their apparent dis
order there is more or less of sym
metry. Amsterdam is a semi-circle,
Rotterdam an equilateral triangle, and
The Hague a square. .The difference
between the three cities Socially has
been aptly put: "At Rotterdam for
tunes are made; at Amsterdam they
are consolidated; at The Hague they
are spent"
