To every woman, r.ni woman i.i at heart an uncivilized crea ture, there is a certain ide.-isure in thr knowledge that a man can, if ho wants to, kill you with a blow. The woman who has not had this sensation is tin one who has cultivated tho original woman out of herself and is busy search ing for fresh emotions. Consequently Hercules is to a woman more beautiful than Adonis, and if she admires a man who mentally is strong, a thousand times more does phe care for tho man who can if he will govern by physic: J strength and become what Swinburne calls "King of Pain." You can't den this, nor explain it, but it's true. The churchoing young woman who met Mr. Muldoon was inquisitive, and tho mada up her mind that the was go ing to get some points on bigness and lieauty from him; so with the audacity of the fox terrier, the dog of the day. she asked: "Mr. Muldoon, what constitutes a per fectly made man?" "One whoso neck, biceps and calves all measure tho same." It was a bit impertinent, but that is the prerogative of a woman and so she asked, "Do yours?" And he quietly answered, "Yes." Then 6ho inquired, "What is the reason that as one walks in New York one notices that the women are larger, look more healthy, walk better, and from a physical standpoint are better specimens than the men?" "Well," said he, "the trouble begins with the care of the boy when he is a little chap; everything here is sacrificed to the cultivation of the intellect, and the small boy's physical condition isn't paid much attention to. Yon see the sons of rich men who are weak, miser able specimens, killing themselves with cigarettes, smaller and less strong than their sisters and having no strength physically. A good many of them are cowards. Train a boy morally and physically first, and his brain will re spond when yon call on it. Train the brain at the expense of the body and yoa have just such specimens of man hood as you laugh at." "Mr. Muldoon, when you get a man down and are looking him straight i;i the eyes and know that you have him almost in your power, what are you thinking of?" "I am thinking only of one thing, and that is where I can best get a hold of him and how I can best keep him where I want him to be." Then he was asked, "How long have you been an athlete?" "Since 1 was fifteen years old, and I am now forty-one. I weigh 215 pounds in my clothes, 205 in fighting trim, or, a the say in the south, in the buff. Aftei I was thirty-five years old 1 allowed my self to gain ten pounds, because aftci that age 1 think a man needs a little more flesh. 1 have never used tobacco and I don't drink. "Wliat do 1 think of women? To be quite honest. 1 am a little afraid of them, they are not so trustworthy as horses oi dogs? What kind of a woman do I like: I like a womanly woman, a woman whe is gentle and affectionate and who isn't loud. I like a woman whose face is clean, not' daubed all over with rougt and powder. I like woman who has a little bit of consideration for a man, ana who, while he is willing to give her de votion and love, is ready to return it with affection and kindly thoughts. "But do you want me to tell you what is killing half the population of this country?" The inquisitive one said 6he did she was a 6eeker for knowledge. "It is the vile air that is in the cars, boats, half the houses and hotels, and in all the places of amusement. You get in a parlor car, and there is one person in that car an invalid, or a woman, who insists on having all the ventilators closed, and you have got to sit, possiblj sleep, in that foul air, breathing in the diseases that everybody else has. If they would spend less money on making a car handsome and more on making it healthful, there would not be half as much wickedness as there is, for when men and women are thoroughly well there is not much chance of their going wrong." "But about women?" "I think there are 100 good women to one good man, and where a woman makes a mistake it usually is the fault of a man. It is perfect nonsense, how ever, shooting such creatures, as we have heard of lately. They ought to be caught by the nape of their necks and tossed out of a window and left to get along as best they can." "Who is yonr favorite actor?" "Mr. Booth." "What are your favorite flowers?" "Violets." "What is your favorite color?" "Pale blue." And then, with a characteristic jump from flowers and colors, the inquisitive one asked, "At a prize fight do they spill much blood?" "No," said Muldoon; "the amount of blood spilled is usually very much ex aggerated. When Sullivan fought Eil rain, on July 8, 18S9, the fight lasted two hours and eighteen minutes, and there wasn't enough blood shed to entirely stain a pocket handkerchief. A Woman in New York Sun. The largest and longest stone bridge in the world is over an arm of the Cluna sea five miles long, 300 arches, each seventy feet high. HE KNEW. j I TI I rant Was Not at All Seared by tli Nulatta Dawn Stairs. It was 3 o'clock in the morning when ! "Ugh." he rounded unconsciously. "Hiram! Hiram!' she exclaimed in a whisper. "U-nih," he observed. She gave him another shake. 'Hiram," she whispered, "there's rob bers down stairs." "Ugh?" he ventured again, this time with a rising inflection indicating that ho was gradually absorbing the idea that something was wrong. She gave him a tremendous shake. "Ugh." ho almost shouted, sitting straight up. "what in thunder's tho row, Maria?" She clapjied her hand over his mouth. "Sh sh!" she whispered, "there's burglars down stairs." "Aw," he growled, "wo ought to bo thankful they are not up stairs. Go to sleep!" and ho fell back to tho pillow. "Hiram, I tell yon," she insisted, with another shake, "there's burglars down stairs. I heard them. You go down and see what they want." "Maria," he protested, "I'll do noth ing of the sort. If they don't 6ee what they want they can ask for it. That's business." "But you shall go down, Hiram, and see," she urged and pleaded at the sauio time. "I won't, I tell you, Maria. Because your father owns a dry goods store is no 6ign that I believe it is no trouble to show goods, and I repeat, madam, if those burglars want anything they've got to wait on themselves. It's after business hours anyway. You must think we run an all night place. Go to sleep, I tell you." Mrs. Higinbotham gave a sudden clutch at his arm. "There," she nearly screamed, "I hear them coming up stairs now." "Well, dear," he said soothingly, "you'd better jump up and put on a dress. It will never do in the world for you to receive strange gentlemen in your present attire." "We'll be murdered in our beds," she wailed. "Do you really think you will,' he in quired with some interest. "I'm sure of it, Hiram," she sobbed. "Suppose you get out and lie on the floor, Maria, and then you won't be," he suggested heartlessly. "I'm willing to take mine right here in bed, where it's warm." Mrs. II. began to cry. "What's the matter, Maria?" Mr. H. asked, as if he had just that moment discovered her grief. You're a mean, horrid man, Hiram Higinbotham," she said in her natural voice, and she began to get out of bed. "Where are you going, Maria?" he in quired uneasily. "Down stairs," she answered heroical ly. "As between you upstairs and the burglars down stairs, I prefer the bur glars," and down stairs she went, and the black cat in the preserve closet upset four jars of her finest quinces in its mad effort to escape. She screamed, but Hiram Higinbotham made no sign; he knew he had forgotten to put the cat in the cellar when he shut the house up for the night and reported to his wife that everything was all right. Detroit Free Press. Home of the Sea Serpent. The question of the "great sea ser pent" has of late come before us with an episcopal sanction; but whatever may be the explanation of the various appear ances which have given a certain cur rency to a belief in the existence of an unknown marine monster of some kind, that small sea serpents exist is most cer tain. They are all marine, and with the exception of one or two species never quit the water. As might be expected under such circumstances they bring forth their young alive, and these can swim as soon as they are born. Mr. Boulenger tells us that their home is essentially the coasts of the Indian ocean and the tropical parts of the west ern Pacific, from the Persian gulf to New Guinea and North Australia. One species, however, ranges from west and south Africa to the western coast of tropical America and extends northward to Japan and southward to New Zea land. Quarterly Review. Two Guilty Consciences. A Danbury youth went trout fishing and ventured to drop a 6ly line into a posted brook. Soon the approaching figure of the owner loomed up in the dis tance, and the Danbury youth knew he had been 6een. He took incontinently to the bushes, where he spent a very miserable two hours in hiding and caught a cold that kept him two days in bed. Meanwhile the terrible owner, who was not the owner at all, had sought a similar refuge at sight of the original culprit, and not until his teeth chattered like a typewriter did he venture to leave the friendly but damp shelter and slink away from the scene. He was an elder ly man, and his share in the day's sport resulted in a four days' rheumatic limp. Boston Transcript. Ancient Sacrifices to the Sea. The navigators of antiquity, to whose imaginative ignorance the ocean seemed peopled and beset with chimeras dire and supernatural agencies of all sorts, used often to sacrifice human lives to the mysterious water gods. It is regard ed by tradition that Idomeneus, king of Crete, vowed to sacrifice to Neptune the first living thing he met after escaping from a storm, and this happening to be his son, he fulfilled his vow religiously. Medea nearly became a sacrifice during the return voyage of the Argonauts. Washington Star. No Reflection on His Character.

Grnt mtrt is exhibited in. the pro-, posed East African cxixlition of Mr.' William Actor Chanler. Tho Tama river, which he proposes to follow, is in habited along tho lower part principally by tho Wii-l'uktuiio, a race which sub sists by cultivation. The banks of the river bein;j liv, tho country on lioth sides is annually inundated, and tho river thus acts us a lilxral fertilizer. Mr. Chanler has no easy titk In-fore him, as soino f tho tril-s to 1k p;issed in reaching Mount Kenia have had their suspicions and hostility aroused by tho harsh and barbarous course of tho German explorer Dr. Peters. He will start early in Juno in company with Lieutenant Hohnel.of the An: Irian navy, and Count Tolaki, with tho object of careful scientific research and ol servation in that region. They will travel along tho Tama river, resting for some weeks at the snowcapped moun tain of Kenia, where they will make astronomical observations. After ex ploring tho mountain to its summit if possible they will plunge into the almost unknown regions of Last Rudolph lake. It was there that Baron Vet-ken was murdered, and that lieviol, Respoli and Ferrendi failed in their eilorts to accom plish their aims. Tho region abounds in warlike tribes. Mr. Chanler intends to enter tho region from tho west, after leaving Lake Ru dolph, and proceed along tho Tubba river to the sea. Ho expects to Imj ab sent about eighteen months. Ho will take with him his young servant, George Galmin, who accompanied him through Mashonalaud. Mr. Chanler is full of hope and will go fully equipped for his perilous enterprise, which is expected to havo most interesting and valuable re sults. Philadelphia Leader. A Tame Duckling. The extraordinary sight of a duckling that has just shed its shell following a young woman about the house with all the affection of a pet dog is a domestic wonder in the family of Mrs. Carr. Ever since Easter morn the neighbors have been dropping in to witness the pjh'C tacle, and the fame of the singular at tachment has attracted attention among people who are interested in natural phenomena of every description. The little duckling has been in the family since Easter Sunday, when it was brought as a gift to Mrs. Carr's baby daughter, Serena, aged four years, who was delighted with her new pet. The duck at once struck up a long friendship for the domestic, Mary Mc Cullough, and has been the young wom an's constant companion ever since. Whenever Mary speaka the duck re sponds with tho piping salutation and waddles after the young woman wher ever she goes. The most astonishing thing about this freak of nature is that if any other inmate of the household attempts to induce it to answer, the webfooted prodigy maintains a solemn silence, but Mary has only to utter a word when the quacking begins and is kept up until she has ceased sjieaking. Philadelphia Times. Mary's Claim. j A little girl is reported to have died J near the imaginary line in Oklahoma which divided the recently opened res servations from the remainder of the territory just as the signal was given for fho rrraTid rnsVi for lands. Thf child and her father were alone and unknown, but ) the beauty of the one and the still, deep grief of the other moved the strong men of the frontier to acts of admirable sym pathy. A runner on a swift horse located a -I homestead, and returning placed the father of the dead girl in possession of it. The body of the child was trans ported to the claim and buried upon it. Afterward it was discovered the re maining one of the unfortunate couple was absolutely penniless, and a purse of money was given him with the hope that the claim will prove a haven of rest to him and that the homestead shall al ways be known as "Mary's claim." Duluth Tribune. Death from Ingrowing Toe Nail. Some time ago there was published the story of the death of a Long Island physician from blood poisoning result ing from an ingrowing toe nail. A well known surgeon chiropodist said the other day to the reporter: "The death of that Long Island doctor is not the first I have heard of from the same cause. "The cause of the disease i3 comiion and painful and usually directly trace able to narrow toed shoes. It causes pain as severe as a toothache and not infrequently, when neglected, results in blood poisoning. I know of an opera tion for ingrowing toe nail in an English hospital where the patient suffered so much pain that they gave him a mixture of ether and chloroform. The operation was successful, but when it was finished the physicians found that their patient had died from the chloroform." New York Sun. To Preserve an Alpine Flower.

A similar act was passed seven years ago by the diet j of Salzburg, with a view to the preserva- 1 tion of the edelweiss plant, which is j threatened with extinction in the Aus trian Alp3. In the Salzburg district the success of this legislation is, unfortu nately, not encouraging. Great Season for Herrings. The herring fishing season on the Sus quehanna river is finished, and the catch has been unprecedented. The pack will amount to over 60,000 barrels of salted fish. The season open April 8 and closed May 10. One fisherman caught 100 bar rels of the fish with a dipnet in the out- let lock of the canal. It has been no un common thing this season to take 200, 000 herring at a haul of one of the large seines, which, when paid out, encircle3 three-quarters of a mile or more of water area. Cor.
