Mrs. Catherine Waugh MecCullogt of Evanston, Il one of the few wo- men justices of the peace, sees the humorous side of the ‘vay mere mar takes to himself exclusively the right of suffrage. She asks the question. “Shall men vote?” proceeds tc discuss it, thus: and “Really gentlemen.

Do you claim that men’s interests will be neglected if women alone vote? Just trust us to legislate better for you than you could for yourselves. Think how we let you vote now, for trustee of the state university. That is nice. “Then you gentlemen must re- member that you are not authorized to speak for all your sex. There is only a mere handful of you here de- manding the ballot. The men who do not come to the legislature asking the suffrage are really opposed or we count them opposed. Wait until all men everywhere unitedly, and con- stantly, day and night. clamor for it. *Well, I must yield somewhat. and say that if men were like you who are here tonight—intellgent, refined, law-abiding, and, above all, so hand- some— (aside: 1f we flatter them they may forget about their rights)—if other men were as well dressed as you and as attractive to us women who decide this question, we women would let you vote. But we dread the vote of the ignorant man, the bad man, and, most horrible, the vote of the man who has no tact. “Men now, without the ballot, have the greatest ‘women their sweet influence on us women, and men deserve no power, because the order of creation was in the as- the last created creatures were the most perfect and should rule over those first created. power over cending scale and Women was created last. “Here is a gad objection.

Or it would double the vote with double expense and no change in results, for every husband would vote as his wife directed. What would be the use? You say that this is inconsistent with the last objection about spouses voting different tick- ets?” : Mrs. McCulloch’s speech—only a part of which is given here—is being sent out in a woman suffrage cam- paign in Minnesota and it is under-| stood that many women who have re- ceived copies anq have chuckled over it, have contrived one way or another to get it into the hands of their hus- bands.

Our Romeo, like Chauecer's hero, was caught in the chimney. He was go- ing to his sweetheart, instead of run- ning away from her. The pretty Julietle was a distange of some seven miles from his home. The enamored Romeo tramped it on foot all that distance. At night he reached the bouse, and called, but got no answer. As the door was shut he decided to try the roof. On the roof he found the chimney, and it seemed to him that was quite wide enough to let him down. He descended for some dis- tance, but then, as he came near the fireplace, the chimney narrowed. He slipped and got In & narrow neck. Here he was caught, unable to move up or down. Before long he felt a suffocating sensation. If the thing lasted much longer it would be the end of him. He could stand it no more. After groaning he yelled, and he bellowed so well that not only was his sweetheart disturbed in her slum- bers, but the -whole village was ex- cited. The nearest chimney-sweep was called, but he could not help him out. The gendarmes woke up the mayor, and he, with all the motables of the place. went to look. They consulted among them, and the only way to liberate the captive lover was to pull down part of the chimney. This was done by some masons, and he was presently released, but before being allowed his freedom a police report was drawn up, with a view to inflict- ing a series of fines for breaking into a private inclosure, damaging other people's property, waking up the au- thorities unnecessarily, and causing a public scandal. Poor Romeo was very sad when it was all over.—Paris Cor- respondence, London Telegraph. _ ROTHSCHILDS OF THE EAST Mitsui Family of Japan Is Famous for Unsullied Honor of Their Name. The Mitsul family of Japan have been called the Rothschilds of the East; but while the fame of the lat- ter has gone abroad over the world, says the Atlantic Monthly, the Mit suls have remained practically un- known except to a few.western mer chants who have had extensive deal: ings with the Orient. ‘The European family owes its great renown to the fact that for a century there has been no slightest stain up- on s commercial honor. But its ca- reer, it should be remembered, has been passed in a world where busi ness itself has been held in honor; while the Mitsuis, engaged in a pur- suit utterly condemned by public sen. timent, for three centuries, in spite of the demoralizing influence of the so- clal ban, have been trusted by govern. ment and people alike and have kept the honor of their name unstained. Now, thafiks to the new spirit ani- mating the nation, they no longer stand so conspicuously alone. Other great commercial families are being ranged with this one, théir mem-’ bers not only. enrolled .among the| peers of the realm, but ranking with the merchant princes -of the west as' exponents of:all that is honorable in the-conduct of mercantile affairs. “To their number are yearly being added | many of the Samirai, or nightly ‘chiv- alry of old, who once scorned all con- tact with trade, but who are now re-| turning to bring to the rescue of their country the fine sense of honor ‘in which they were, educated under the ancient regime. That they will even- tually succeed in their task, backed as they are by the instinct of common honesty pervading the rank and file, there can be no manner of doubt. Apparatus for Finding Water. The hazel twig as a water finder has peen supplanted by a remarkable ine vention, consisting of a simple ap- paratus. The principle on which.the tnstrument works is the measuring of the strength of electric currents between the earth and the atmos- phere. These are always strongest in the vicinity of subterranean water courses, the flowing waters of which are charged with electricity to a cer taln degree. THe apparatus takes the form of a box-shaped instrument fixed on a tripod, with a dial on which a needle is used to indicate the pres- ence of water. If the needle remains stationary it may be taken for grant ed that no subterranean spring ex- ists; the spot where the greatest movement of the needle is obtained is that where well bormg operations should be made. How, to Clean Tapestry. Shake the tapestry gently but well to remove loose dirt and then immerse it In a cleansing fluid composed as follows. Take four ounces of soap ta & quart of water and boil it until it becomes a jelly; then divide this equally in two tubs of hot water, ad- ding a cup of bran to each tub to pre- vent the colors from running. It fs best to sew the bran in cheese cloth bags, so that it will not stock to the fabric. = After washing the tapestry alter nately in the two tubs, rinse in water strongly flavored with vinegar (to pre- vent colors fading)“and dry. After the heavier weight of the - wa- ter is out, stiffen with a thin-boiled| starch_and iron quickly on the wrong side With a rather hot iron. - Work of Humor.

Key of City’'s Vast System of Defense Constructed by the Spanlards ls Now Used as Military Head- quarte A gcore of miles down the bay from Manila, right at the very front door of the archipelago, lies hidden on Cor- regidor Island a veritable hornet's nest of masked batteries. According to the Overland Monthly, these bat- teries make the Port Arthur implace- ments of yesterday seem like mere old-fashioned toys, and paper ones at that. The Gruson turrets, made of con- crete and ‘steel and sunk on rock foundations, natural or artificial, in the deep, resembling huge gray turtles sticking up out of the water with pro- truding gun barrels for necks, occupy El Fralle and other small islets in the vicinity, while -old hump-backed Cor- regidor is covered from crest to shore line with guns, a honeycomb of under- ground cement tunnels, pits and run- ‘ways, wireless equipment, electrical apparatus, searchlights and other con- trivances to aid in repelling an enemy. When it comes to age' and roman- tic history, however, old Fort Santi- ago Is far ahead of Corregidor. Ma- nila’s walled city, a town in itself, con- sisting of several city blocks with paved streets, business houses and large dwellings is surrounded by a stone wall about thirty feet high and from thirty to forty feet thick. The walls once were skirted on the outside by a deep moat, filled with wa- ter having drawbridges at the various gates. Most if not all of the moat has now been filled in, but no doubt the walls will stand for years if for no other reason than for their histori- cal interest. Of this vast yet crude system of defense Fort Santiago stands as the key. What the Tower of London is to England, what the Vatican is to Rome, what the Bunker Hill monu- ment {s to the United States, Fort Santiago is to the Philippine Islands. The Spanish invaders made Manila their headquartere in 1571 and began to fortify it about twenty years later. The first stone construction was the circular wall, which is still standing. Since the American occupation of the fort its armament has been taken away and the'buildings within the parks have been converted into bar- racks and storerooms. Commodious office buildings have been erected on top of the walls along and overlooking the Pasig, and here the commanding general of the Phil- ippine division has his headquarters, In one of the beautiful parks within the fort is located the military arsen: al, with'its big steam and 'electric ‘workshops. bl oy Soe of the maps and plans of.the fort are now in the British museum, in London, where' they were carrled] after the British’conquest of Manila, | The fort, mostly in its present form, has 'stood for'800 years. There are all sorts of stories floating about concern. | ing secret ¢hambers in the 1s and wings. S5 R So far as the secret chambers are conterned, there 18 some truth in, the| rumors, The filling of the old. moat closed many of the entrances to these chambers, probably forever.

The hoisting of the third flag is well known, to, all; Amerl. cans. r B A S ! Waging a War. Fourteen mijlion dollars was spent in this country last year in the war against tuberculosis. In comparison with the small amounts expended for the same purpose only a few years 8g0 this sum seems vast. In reality, it 1s not mearly so large as it should be. The organized effort now being made in every state of the Union to stamp. out tuberculosis is commonly referred to as a war, and quite prop- erly so. It 1s a war waged against an insfdious enemy _that takes greater toll of life than is taken in actual war- fare. Yet In these days $14,000,000. would not go far in financing even the smallest of real wars that may come. ‘Why should we not spend more in carrying on a great war which is al- ready here and which has as its obs Jective something more important than the acquisition of territory or the pratection of the honor of a king?

Now I have dis- covered another street situation in Wwhich one must take like care. “Walking along the street this morn- ing I became conscious that one of my shoestrings was untled and I looked along for & convenient store step on which I could put my foot up; and there I did put it up, and I was busily engaged in tying the string, working away at it with no other thought in the world, when— “‘Mister,” I heard a. voice at my ear, ‘can you give me five cents to-get & cup of coffee? I haven't had—' “And there he stood beside me, close alongside, where he had me at & disadvantage. He was within my guard, and I gave up, not because I thought I ought to, but,because of my {nward appreciation of the work of a man who evidently was always on the job, ever alert and letting no chance escape him.” Opportunities Always Present. “It is not a single opportunity whick 20mes to a man, it is a train, It is a never-ending procession, some small er and more insignificant as the years flow on, but ever and always. oppor: tunities too numerous; too great, and too large for us to utilize fully.”—Prof James, University of Illinois.
