' . 8incH tlic field lit woman's work kits broudomtd, It luiH bwn (Uncovered that the proportion o( women clerks, CHHliiers and lorowoimtn, who betray the trust re potted in them, is much less than that of male employes. Opposite this, us if the purpose were to balance the sins of the sexes, wc mid the simple proposition that, as a rule, women are more decep tive than men, but the deception is prac ticed either in small matters or in senti ment. If we eliminate love from the calcula tions, woman is still the more deceptive in small thiiiKs. That is to say, she may plead guilty to petit larceny, while her big brother covers the entire gamut, from grand larceny to murder. If this were true, it is not difficult to account for the difference between man and womankind. The majority of women depend largely upon their husbands, lathers or brothers, In the maintenance of the house and table, to suy nothing of personal adornment, there are very fow men who place their purse at their wife's disposal. Nineteen out of twenty have Acen their mothers appealing to the head of the house for money that should have been given to her us hers by right. The muu's'poiut of view and the wom an's point of view are so far apart that it tukes time to bridge it, and as the wom an is usually the bridge builder, what wonder if she wearies, resolves to take thi' shortest and easiest way and prac tices some small deception? Muny u girl witli honest impulses, candid to a fault, lias been mated to a man whose lack of sensibility, sordid views of life, greed or indifference changed the entire charac ter of her life. She has kept her own counsel and "munaged" her husband to the best of her ability. Is this excusable deception? Many years ago the judges in Englund ruled that if a man had uvennes of flight open, no matter how sorely he might be beset, to turn and slay his assaiiunt was murder, and many thousands were hanged for preferring to kill another rather than stand or he overtaken and slain. Of lute the judges have changed the ruling. The interpretation of the law is different. Whereas iu former years no man dare assail his opitoneut until he wive driven to the wall, now we have the common sense decision that a man need not flee from an assassin, turning his back and inviting death. He may face his opponent and kill him . rather tiian risk being killed. If this ruling is just, what shall we say of the men whose miserly practices or greed or indifference deprives their wives or daughters of the opportunity to enjoy life within their meansr The best answer to the assertion that women are more deceptive than men is found in those families where the parents do not discriminate against their daugh ters; where it Is assumed that theduugh ters are entitled to us much money as the sons, and the sons are taught that the earnings of the minors are common stock. The girls practice no more de ception than the toys. They develop into independent, fair minded women And they may lie relied npon to preserve their self respect and the respect due their husbands. In the practical, everyday affairs of life the equality taught by the master is impressed in a manner that makes char acter. And characterless women are the only companions that characterless men are worthy of. Pittsburg Bulletin. Three Anetent Trees. Washington has throe trees, each con nected with some important event in the laying out of the town of Washington in 17SII, The commissioners who made the mirvey began their work under the great white oak in the front yard of Judge Andrews' old home at Haywood. Throngli the following oentnry this was one of the finest treeB in Wilkes county Another historical tree is the great pop- lar on the Alexander homestead. In 17IH) the first ordination of a Presbyterian minister west of the Savannah river took place under that tree. This was Kev. John Springer, a man of noted character and talents, and who would have been president of Franklin college had he lived. Finally, coming down later in time, we reach the memorable debate betweeu Robert Toombs and Benjamin Hill in 185(1? This was one of the greatest in tellectual contests in the history of Georgia, and will never be forgotten by those who beard it. It took place under an oak in the grove of Haywood. It was followed by a typical barbecue of the old south. Washington (Ola.) Gussette. Inoreueud Hound at Night. I would like to ask if you have ever noticed the acoustio phenomenon of greater audibility of sounds after night fall? There have been hundreds of at tempts to account for this singularity in the matter of sounds, the theories being almost as numerous as the theorists themselves. The ancients noticed that the intensity of all sounds was inorensod at night and ascribed the phenomenon to various causes, some almost as absurd as the reasons (?) assigned by certain mod ern scientists. fit. Louis Republic. A Deluded Bear. The story is told of a bear that mis took the humming noise of the telegraph . wires on high poles as coming from i nest of bees and clawed at the pole and ' tore away the stones at it base in the hope of finding the much coveted honey. Boston Journal of Commerce Tho (JfMlN of American Indiana, j Whenever one reads of the religion of Indians reference is matte to their belief in a "great spirit," and iu the "happy hunt ing grounds" of future reward. As a mat ter of fact., neither of these things enters at all into the faith at the North American aborigines, save in so far as they have ac- uired a notion of them from the white man. Tliey represent merely tne ixcd ana heaven of the Christian missionaries. The deities worshiped by these untutored sav ages are primarily the phenomena of na ture. Among them thunder is consplcu- ims, while the lightning, the winds, the rain, etc., are likewise regarded with ado ration. To this day the Iroquois can often be seen making to the approaching storm his little propitiatory of burned tobacco. By his uatiou the thunder god is regarded with especial veneration us the henehceut divinity which destroyed the giant mon sters that once upon a time poisoned the waters and infested the land. That such gigantic creatures did anciently exist is ident from the fossil bones often discov ered of beasts so huge that nothing hut a holt from the sky could have annihilated them. Very different from this friendly god of the Iroquois is the hostile north wind, which brings calamity in its train, killing the unriie corn, freezing the rivers, de privlug the prople of their sustenance, and with the touch of its icy fingers rendering the hunter stiff iu death, ltaho, in tiie be lief of tins people, is likewise a deity, exer cising his power in times of war by repeat ing among the hills their cries of "Gowehl" This renders their victory certain, wood and evil spirits alsu play an impor tant part in their mythology. Among the good spirits ure tiiree sisters, who preside over the favorite vegetables- corn, beans and squashes. Jbey love each other very dearly, aud their vines grow iu the same soil and cling about each other. Tiie corn spirit is draped with long leaves and single tassels; the sister who guards the bcun is clad iu its delicate ten drils, while the spirit of squashes Is clothed with the brilliant blossoms of the plant. - Washington btar. Htm the Muyor of Venice W11 Chueti. The Vaiiellfiu legirjliitornt despairing of ! Bating an eleution which would uut be i controlled by politicians' intrigues, called in the lot ah their helper. When a doge wuk 10 be elected the great couucil of between 400 and &00 rueuiberij, was called together. Those below thirty yearn of age were Kbut out and the names of the rent were written on Klips of paper. A Hiuali boy wan then picked up on the street and brought lu to draw out thirty names, Out of tbeite thirty, nine were chosen to go on with the election. They were to choose forty othera. Four of them DOini- uated live each, live of them four each, and each of the forty must be continued by a two-thirds vote of the nine. Out of these forty names twelve were taken by lot. The twelve In the same way chowe a new hoard of tweuty-ltve, the chairman nomi nating three and each of the others two, a three-fourths vote being necessary to elect. Lots were again drawn for niue of the twenty-five. These nine iu the same way chose forty-five others, of whom the lot picked out eleveu. These eleveu, still iu the same form, nominated forty-one to elect the doge, Each 0! these must be continued by a ma jority vote of the whole great council. Then the forty -one were locked up together to go on with their election. While they were locked up each of them was furnished with whatever he asked for, regardless of expense. But the name must be given to each of the forty-oue. For iiinUt.ee, there was once an elector who wished to read in jKsop's Fables. He got, his book, but not till all Venice had been ransacked to find the necessary forty oue copies. At auother time oue of them ordered a rasary. Forty-one rosaries made their appearance iu due form. This treatment was expected to make the electors so unanimous that at least twenty five of them won Id agree on a doge. When this took place the rigmarole was over. An evening newspaper, trying to follow there turns in Venice at that time, would have had painful times. New York Kveuiog Hun. An Advautuge Mu Have. The longer I live the more firmly con vinced I am that men have the advan tage of women in everything iu life, and we shall never be their equals in the Btruggle till we can have many more of their privileges than custom is willing to grant us now. For instance, if a man wants a new spring suit he simply goes to see his tailor the same tailor he has patronized for years. Tiie tailor shows him one line of cloth. The happy man gives a quick but comprehensive look at the goods, selects that which suits his taste from the group 01 materials that nits his pocket, and the deed is done. He relies on his tailor's judgment as to whether the coat shall be sack, cutaway or frock, and so walks off. It never occurs to a man to get sam ples of the goods and then run around to every other tailor shop in town to see if hi can't get a bargain or a little bit cheaper material that would "look just as well." It .never occurs to a man to "talk it over" with every male friend, to discuss the new cut in trousers and whether such a color would be becoming to him. He relies on his tailor to furnish not only a reasonably good style to his suit, but also one that is suited to his customer's individuality. Imagine a man getting on a street car and meeting two men friends and pro ducing a lot of samples, Baying: "Ohl Charley, I want to show you some sain plos I got of my new coat. Now, don't you think I'm too dark to wear that color? But it's bo cheap' etc.,.--etc., while Charley and Francis gave their opinions and inspected the samples, Wouldn't it be funny? Then Charley should say (to make the scene complete): "Yes, bat that's old. Why, they wore goods like that all last year. John Jorome had some trousers mm like that, ''Chicago News-Record. Two llipeda Meet. A gentleman slowly sauntering down Seventeenth street the other night was startled by a shrill whistle that sounded close behind him. He naturally stopped and looked around, but saw no one. He started on, but had proceeded only a few yards when the whistle, louder and shriller than before, was repeated. Again he looked around, and again he saw no one. Then his heart misgave him, for the hour was almost midnight. Vague, unutterable fears clutched at his soul, nntil his sleek locks grew to resem ble the quills of that notoriously fretful porcupine. But suddenly the mystery was solved. He chanced to glance overhead, think ing that probably, like the May Queen, he had heard the angels call, when he perceived a parrot in a cage that dan gled from a second story window. The eyes of the feathered and featherless bipeds met, and the parrot quickly and appropriately remarked, "What are you looking at, you blamed fool!'' Philadel phia Record. How A corns Are Eaten.
