How Rti**la Favor* the Women. Although the Russians are not noted for their gallantry toward women they have scored one on other people. St. Petersburg has recently been pro vided with new taxameter cabs. They work on a dual system, one for ladies and the other for gentlemen, the au thorities having been thoughtful enough to introduce a new tariff, ac cording to which ladies are only re quired to pay half the fare demanded of mere men. Vary Much In the Family. The fifth of an extraordinary scries of weddings has just been celebrated In Paradise Valley, near Oroville, Cal. The first was that of John Weer, a Cornish widower with four good look ing daughters. Some years ago he wedded Mrs. Malarin, a French widow with four sons. The boys and girls have now been all mated and the live couples live under the same roof. She Cm<I to Run a Theatre. Miss Helen Bennett, of Deadwood, S. D„ has just been elected a county superintendent of j>ulilic schools. She is a Wellesley graduate and has some years been manager of the theater in Deadwood. Why (he King Dropped Albert. Many theories have been put for ward with regard to King Edward’s ihoice of name; that is. the dropping of the appellation ’ Albert.” It is, how ever, no secret that the king never lied the name of “Albert,” and it was • nly in deference to his mother's wish that he signed hirnself ’’Albert Ed ward.” More than once he asked to be allowed to sign himself “Edward,” but the queen was obdurate. The king knew' that the name of “Albert” would not be congenial to the British nation, and as soon as Queen Victoria had passed away he communicated to Lord Salisbury his wish to be known as Da ward VII. Only One Potvro’.loper. The parliamentary register for 1896 showed that there was then only one potwalloper in all England. One see ing the term for the first time might easily imagine that a potwalloper was a species of ichthyosaurus or some other reptile of a past age. it will bo discovered upon inquiry, however, thai the term "potwalloper'’ is liter ally one who boils a pot, and was applied to voters in certain boroughs of England, where before the passage of the reform bill of 1S32 the qualifica tion for suffrance was to have boiled (walloped) his own pot in the parish for six months. A Plutocratic Cat. A Philadelphia woman well known tor her fine coll ' tion of highly bred cats recently paid ?33 for tile care of Ba’thazer, a Persian cat, on shipboard, in addition to his passage money. Bal thazer was obliged to have a special attendant to take him on deck for an hour's walk three times a day, and he i also had to have a fresh blanket ev- j cry day. There is a great deal of money in eats of high degree, and all that are sold have authenticated pedi grees. A Detective’** Description ofCiolf. When the detective who arrested Adams, the acquitted Yonkers, N. Y., Sunday golfer, was asked to describe how the game is plaved, he said: “Why, there’s a little nail like an egg, and one of them hits it with a stick and it goes off in the grass, and the test go and look for it. That is all there is to it.” Most anybody can laugh in the face of Death, when his call is not per sonal. Those who can command them selves, command others.—Hazlitt.

If we don’t slay and eat, we will son be slain and devoured. VfeT&itfi; Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod, And waits to see it push away the clod, lie trusts in God. Whoever says, when clouds arc in the sky. “Be patient, heart, light breaketh by and by,” He trusts in God. Whoever sees ’neath winter's field of snow The silent harvest of the future grow, God’s power must know. Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep. Content to lock each sense in slumber deep. Knows God will keep. Whoever says “to-morrow,” “the unknown,” The "future” trusts unto that power alone He dares disown. The heart that looks on when the eyelids close, And dares to live when life has only woes, God's comfort knows. Wanted—An Attic. BY ELIZABETH CHERRY WALTZ. {Copyright, 1801, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) "And, as you said the description of life in a suburb of working people was the only weak thing in the book, I am going to spend three months in a cottage attic and get the atmosphere, Mr. Morris." The lawyer looked up from his desk and hack again before he spoke. What he glanced at was a pale man of 28 or 29, who looked older. His face was sensitive and was rather too sweet for a positive manliness. When the lawyer finally spoke it was to say: "It will not hurt you or the hook. Have you given up your trip across and to Vienna?” Van \Tiet looked uncomfortable. "Can’t do both, can you?” "No—and really the hook comes first. If it is all right but that, why not put myself in the way of making that right.” Mr. Morris thrust his hands into his pockets and walked up and down the room. "Look here, Van, 1 am pretty certain the Astranbams count on your going over. It is actually a question between Gwendolen and the book—because Mr. Astranham intimated to me that De brett King wanted to join the party and we all know what Deb is after.” A rather peculiar look came about Cecil Van Vliet’s mouth. "So it is the book or the girl con tinued the lawyer. A dreamy smile flitted over the face of his hearer. "And which one is it. Van?” Then came a quick movement from the silent man and then a decisive ut terance. "The book then—I like the girl, bet ter than I wish I did. But maybe the hook can win the girl—but the book first at all hazards.” • In the sloping roof of a small white cottage there was set a deep dormer window that looked over fields of em erald wheat and on the brown clods The German Woman Sowed Seed. that, later, would be covered with waving corn. On a gentle slope to the left there were orchards where pink and White waves of bloom stood out against a 6ky of the palest blue. On the hill was an old brown house and here went on the panorama of pastoral life as before the city crept out. It was a remnant of the past century. Here the dawn souike rose, the attn went forth to plow, the noon bell rang for dinner, the night lights glowed through the small window panes, the dog barked at the night passer. Below and around this remnant farm, there were small houses, some of them mere shanties and cabins of boards and de bris. It was the vanguard of civiliza tion, the first roll of the wave that meant the growth of a city. In the attic of the white cottage Ce cil Van Vliet had taken up his abode. lie Sat Under the Tree. He left his old life behind him, as though it was a thousand miles away. He wore what the college boys had once dubbed ‘‘hand-me-downs" and a cheap suit of that clothing. His per sonal belongings were all in a small and cheap trunk. The room he oc cupied was like a dry goods’ box, walls, floor and door of unpainted pine. A strip or two of rag carpeting partially covered the floor. There was a cheap iron bed, a cheaper table and washstand covered with white oil cloth. He was expected to "wait on himself" which meant to till his water pitcher from the cistern and make his own bed except on Saturday when the housekeeper from below took posses sion and cleaned things up. From the window at which he wrote on a small table with wobbling legs the panorama of life unfolded to Ce cil Van Vliet’s wondering eyes. He saw the daily routine of life among tho great struggling masses, he saw suffer ing, merriment, misery, death and the happiness of the youthful and careless. In the small yard below the German woman spaded and sowed seed and set out plants and vines. He often went down to help her and was rewarded by hot bread and coffee. He took long long walks and lunched or dined at wayside places. Sometimes he rode on hay wagons passing In and out and sometimes he walked miles under the starlit heavens, almost feeling his way 1 . the dark and yet with a conscious ness that never before had he been awake. In a month the old life had fallen from him. The charm of simplicity was with him day and night. This return to primordial things had awak ened the truest life in him—and while he grew more robust and the color came Into his face, he drank in real life as a thirsty man takes long draughts of water. In behind the slope but quite out of sight of the white cottage lay the school house, a frame structure sur mounted by a bell which calls the children together. It was a favorite I walk of Cecil's, for he liked to see the fluitering colored aprons and gowns of the children over the green sward and the trim form of the Little Teacher. She had smooth brown hair and bine eyes, cheeks red as roses and she wore print gowns such as Cecil Van Vliet had never seen before. When she sang with the chil dren it was in such a sweet anil hap py voice that it thrilled the heart like a wild bird’s song. That was the rea son be liked to stay where he could hear it—and he so often sat on the bench under the beech trees that the teacher, as well as the children, came to know him. To them, as to his cottage housewife, he was a medical student, living cheap over the summer. Kven that made the people somewhat in awe of him. The Little Teacher lived in the brown farm house that had survived the tidal wave of progress. After a time Cecil walked home with her and sat with her under the low brown porch. The martins built in boxes nailed there for them. Hoses that seemed to hold the perfume as well as all the wealth of color in the air and sunshine nodded from bushes that were rooted deep and strong. The old life was a dream, but Cecil lived In a dream. All that lie had written of a sup positious suburban life had long since been burned. What he wrote to re place it was alive and human—it was what he saw', what he felt, what was and is. The Little Teacher’s simple existence, the joy, the sorrow of every day was painted with the zest and in terest and charm of novelty. There came a day when he closed the last chapter and, his heart beating with enthusiasm, tied up the package and sent it into the great city from which lie had been over four months an alien. It was the end of summer. The orchards were fruit-laden, the red rose hips scarlet on the bushes. The wheat fields had been shorn and were becoming green again. The year’s work was being completed also. It was har vest time. It would be two weeks before lie could expect to hear from Mr. Morris. How should he employ this time? The old ways, the sweet ways with rest and peace. Then the armor must be girded on for the work of the world. But first, first, be must go to see the Little Teacher. ******** “I cannot take my eyes from you, ’ declared Lawyer Morris, “you are an other man in every way. And the book. Shake hands—you have made me shed '.he flrst tears I ever shed over a novel.” Van Vliet’s eyes shone. ‘‘You are sure?” “Sure! Yes, I am! I don t riind tell ing you that I have let a publisher have a peep at it. It's a big thing? the : ovel of the year. Well, I’m glad, I m glad! I've some news for you also. Gwendolen refused Deb King point olank. The Astranhams are on the way home. Now are you happy?” “Well—that don't make me any hap pier—because—because O, hang it all, Morris, I want to introduce you to Eorv.e one that’s waiting for me! Don’t go away.” He was back in five minutes, nerv ous and radiant. With him was the neatest of gray-clad small females, red-chcekcd, blue-eyed and blushing like a shy child. "I’m very glad about the book,” reit erated Cecil, “but it isn’t the book or the girl this time. It is the girl first and then the book and both are suc cesses, I'm sure you will say, Mr. Mor ris." For Stains ou Marble. In the treatment of stains much de pends on what has caused them. Mar ble is one of the most difficult sub stances to deal with when removing stains. Even the weakest acid will attack the marble, and should not be employed except in the hands of an expert, says the Ladles' Home Journal. The following treatment will remove many kinds of stain from marble: Dis solve half a pint sal soda in one pint of boiling water; stir into this half a pint of quicklime and enough whiting or fuller’s earth to make a paste like thick cream. Spread this on the mar ble and let it remain two days or long er. Scrape off and wash clean. If all the spots are not removed this treat ment may be repeated until the mar ble is quite clean. Thlrly-Seven Chllitren. Salzburg. Austria, now puts in a claim for the record birth rate of a single family. Johann Sterner, a farm er. married his wife, Martha, nineteen years ago, when he was 52 and she was 25. In the nineteen years since they have had thirty-seven children—trip lets three times and twins twelve times, while the babies have come along singly four times. Of the chil dren thirty-four are living, and they are all healthy and normal. The thirty-seventh child was born a couple of weeks ago, on the day on which the father celebrated as his 72d birth day. The mother is still in robust health. Who knows of a record to beat this? --- * llptiinarn Without a Kepre*enta(lt t.
