housekeeping Is As important as the art of learning. If a woman Is an authority in Greek or Latin, and cannot make a loaf of bread or sweep a room, there is something wanting in the proportion of things, and there is just as much need of training for girls in the rudiments of housekeeping In the public schools as there is for the manual training of the boys. If there were not so many ambitious statesmen of doubtful antecedents and of selfish aspirations In Central America, the little republics might come together. Too many men want to be dictator of the federated nations. An enterprising advertising agent is sending out to the newspapers a lifesize cut of the feet of Virginia Harned, the original Trilby in this country. There Is every reason to believe that the artist has been kinder to Virginia than nature was. It Is lucky that the American Constitution does not follow the lines of British precedent If the President of the United States had to resign every time the House of Representatives punched holes In his policy the Presidency would be In a state of permanent vacancy.

Perhaps British Columbia is so far ahead In the procession as to be able to afford to take such a backward step, but nobody would have suspected It Public cabs will have to go sooner or later. London has adopted tricycle vehicles operated by two men and carrying two passengers, and if the expected Improvement in automatic carriages develops a practical vehicle, the public will have no further use for cab, hansom or herdlc.

But It was, nevertheless, a dignified and courteous tribute to the memory of a man who in his diplomatic relations was actuated by an “unswerving spirit of honor, justice and conciliation.” That is a fitting summary of the Secreary’s rule of conduct, and will stand in the record of his short diplomatic career. Solomon said a false balance was an abomination, and the wise men of the lower house of Missouri are considering a plan for giving false weighers lots of trouble. A bill introduced provides that the Inspector of weights and measures, his deputies, or any policeman of Kansas City may stop any person hauling hay, fuel, grain or feed from a private scale and cause him to show the weight ticket therefor, and if he pleases to drive to the nearest scale and there reweigh the load and thqn to return and have the empty wagon weighed. A Ridiculous Custom. But there is nothing more amusing, perhaps, in all the quaint and curious "customs” of the House of Commons than the strange ceremony which marks the termination of its every sitting. The moment the house is adjourned, stentorian-voiced messengers and policemen cry out in the lobbies and corridors: “Who goes home?” These mysterious words have sounded every night for, centurles through the Palace of Westminster. The performance originated at a time when it was necessary for members to go home in parties for common protection against the footpads who Infested the streets 'of London. But, though that danger has long since passed away the cry of “Who goes home?” is still heard night after night, receiving no reply, and expecting none.—Chambers’ Journal., Monument to an Apple.

A Fateful Partnership. Even a stranger to the big town walking for the first time through London sees on the sides of the houses many names with which he has long been familiar. His precognition has cost the firms those names represent much money in advertising. The stranger has had the names before him for years in newspapers and magazines, on the hoardings and on boards by the railroad side, paying little heed to tlrem at the time; yet they have been indelibly impressed on his brain, and when he wishes soap or pills his lips almost automatically frame the words most familiar to them. Thus are the lavish sums spent in advertising justified, and thus are many excellent publications made possible. There was the firm of Danby & Strong, for instance. The name may mean nothing to any reader of these lines, but there was a time when it was well known and widely advertised, not only in England but over the greater part of the world as well. Curiously enough, during the time the finn was cl, uggliug to establish itself, the two members of it were the best of friends, but when prosperity came to them causes of difference arose, and their relations, as the papers say of warlike nations, became strained. Whether the fault lay with John Danby or with William Strong no one has ever been able to find out. They had mutual friends who claimed that each one of them was a good fellow, but those friends always added that Strong and Danby did not “hit it off.” Strong was a bitter man when aroused, and eouid generally be counted upon to use harsh language. Danby was quieter, but there was a sullen streak of stubbornness in him that did not tend to making up Mfr each other that ended in disaster to the business carried on under tee title of Danby & Strong. Neither man would budge,and between them the business sunk to ruin. Where competition is fierce no firm can stand against it if there is internal dissension. Danby held his ground quietly but firmly, Strong raged and accused, but was equally steadfast in not yielding a point. Each bated the other so bitterly that each was willing to lose his own share in a profitable business, if by doing so he could bring ruin on his partner. When Strong found himself penniless, he cursed, as was his habit, and wrote to a friend in Texas asking if he could get anything to do over there. He was tired of a country of law and order, he said, which was not as complimentary to Texas as it might have been. But his remark only goes to show what extraordinary ideas Englishmen have of foreign parts. Strong got himself out there somehow, and in course of time became a cowboy. He grew reasonably expert with his revolver, and rode a mustang as well as could be expected, considering that he had never seen such an animal in London, even at the Zoo. The life of a cowboy on a Texas ranch leads to the forgetting of such things as linen shirts and paper collars. Strong’s hatred of Danby never ceased, but he began to think of him less often. One day, when he least expected it, the subject was brought to his mind in a manner that startled him. He was in Galveston ordering supplies for the ranch when in passing a shop which be would have called a draper’s, but which was there designated as dealing in dry goods, be was amazed to see the name ‘ ‘Dauby & Strong” in big letters at the bottom of a huge pile of small cardboard boxes that filled the whole window. At first the name only struck him as familiar and he came near asking himself “Where have I seen that before?" It was some moments before he realized that the Strong stood for the. man gazing stupidly in at the plate glass window. Then he noticed that the boxes were guaranteed to contain the famous Piccadilly collar. He read in a dazed manner a large printed bill which stood beside the pile of boxes. These collars, it seemed, were warranted to be the genuine Danby & Strong collar and the public were warned against imitations. They were asserted to be London made and linen faced, and the gratifying information was added that once a person wore the D. &S. collar he never afterward relapsed into wearing any inferior brand. The price of each box was fifteen cents, or two boxes for a quarter; Strong found himself making a mental calculation which resulted in turning this notation into English money. As he stood there a new interest began to fill his mind. Was the firm being carried on under the old name by some one else,or did this lot of collars represent part of the old stock? He had no news from home since be left, and the bitter thought oecured to him that, perhaps, Danby had got somebody with capital to aid him in resuscitating the business. He resolved to go inside'and get some information. “You seem to have a very large stock of these collars on band,” he said to the man, who was evidently the proprietor. “Yes,” was the answer, “You see, we are the State agents for this make. We supply the country dealers.” . , “Oh, do you? Is the firm of Danby A Strong still in existence? I understood it had suspended." . v

“1 guess M>t, n said the man. “They supply us all right enough. Still, I really know nothing about tlie firm except that they turn out a first-class article. We’re not in any way responsible for Danby & Strong; we’re merely agents for the State of Texas, you know," the man added, with sudden caution. “I have nothing against the firm,” said Strong. “I asked because I once knew some members of it, and was wondering bow it was getting along.” , “Well in that case you ought to see the American representative. He was here this week. That’s why we make such a display In the windows; it always pleases the i agent. He’s now working up the State and will be back in Galveston before the month is out.” “What’s his name? Do you remember?" * "Danby. George Danby, I think. Here’s his card. No, John Danby is the name. ! I thought it was George. Most Englishmen are George, you know." Strong looked at the. card, but the let1 teting seemed to waver before liis eyes. He made out, however, that Mr. John f Danby had an address in New York, ancL I that he was the American representative of Danby & Strong, London. Strong placed the card on the counter before him. “I used to know Mr. Danby, and I would like to meet him. Where do you think I could find him?" “Well, as I said before, you could see him right here in Galveston, but if you arc in a burry you might catch him at Bron - cbo junction on Thursday night?” i “He is traveling by rail, then?” 3 “No, he is not. He went by rail as far i as Felixopolis. There be takes a horse, : and goes across the prairies to Broncho ■ Junction—a three days’ journey. I told i him he wouldn’t do much business on that 1 route, but he said he was going partly for i his health, and partly to see the country. 3 He expected to reach Broncho Thursday 3 night." The dry goods merchant laughed I as one who suddenly remembers a pleasant. - circumstance. “You’re an Englishman, I t take it.” s Strong nodded. 3 “Well, I must say you folks have queer notions about this country. Danby. who , was going for a three days’ journey across i the plains, bought himself two (’oil revoll vers and a knife half as long as my arm. i Now, I’ve traveled all over this State and I never carried a gun, but I couldn’t get 3 Danby to believe his route was as safe as a church. Os course, now and then in 3 Texas a cowboy shoots off his gun, hut it’a 3 more often his mouth, and I don’t believe , there’s more killing done in Texas than in 3 any other bit of land the same size. But 3 you can’t get an Englishman to Relieve 3 that. You folks are an awful law-abiding i crowd. For my part I would sooner stand 3 my chance with a revolver than a lawsuit - any day.” Then the good-natured Texan t told the story of the pistol in Texas; of the 3 general lack of demand for it, but the I great necessity of having it handy when it was called for. , A man with murder in his heart should > not hold a conversation like this, but Will- , iam Strong was too full of one idea to - think of prudence. Such a talk sets the > hounds of justice on the right trail, with 3 [unpleasant results for the criminal. face towatdsFelixopolis. By- - himself he ought to meet his former partner with nothing but the horizon around them. Beside the revolvers in his belt, Strong bad a Winchester rifle in front of him. He did not know but he might have to shoot at long range, and it «as always well to prepare for eventualities. Twelve o’clock came, but be met no one, and there was nothing in sight around the empty circle of the horizon. It was nearly two before be saw a moving dot ahead of him. Danby was evidently unused to riding and had come leisurely. Some time before they met, Strong recognized his former partner and he got his rifle ready. “Throw up your bands!” he shouted, bringing the rifle butt to bis shoulder. Danby instantly raised his hands above his head. “I have no money on me,” he cried, evidently not recognizing his opponent. “You may search me if you like.” “Get down off your horse; don’t lower your hands, or I fire.” Danby got down as well as he could with his hands above his head. Strong had thrown bis right leg over to the left side of the horse, and, as his enemy got down he also slid to the ground, keeping Danby covered with the rifle. “I assure you I have only a few dollars with me, which you are quite welcome to,” said Danby. Strong did not answer. Seeing that the shooting was to be at short range, be took a six-shooter from his belt, and, cocking it, covered his man, throwing the rifle on the grass. He walked up to his enemy, placed the muzzle of the revolver against his rapidly beating heart, and leisurely disarmed him, throwing Danby’s weapons on the ground out of reach- Then he stood back a few paces and looked at the trembling man. His face seemed to have already taken on the hue of death, and his lips were bloodless. VI see you recognize me at last, Mr. Danby. This is an unexpected meeting, is it not? You realize, I hope, that there are no judges, juries, nor lawyers, no mandamuses and no appeals. Nothing but a writ of ejectment from the barrel of a pistol and no legal way of staying the proceedings. In other words, no cursed quibbles and no infernal law.” Danby, after moistening his pallid lips, found bis voice. “Do you mean to give me a chance or are you going to murder me?" “I am going to murder you.” Danby closed his eyes, let his hands i drop to his sides, and swayed gently from side to side as a man does on the scaffold just before the ln>lt is drawn. Strong lowered his revolver aud fired,-shattering one knee of the doomed ma*. Danby ' dropped with a cry that was drowned by i the second report: The second bullet put ■ out his left eye, and the murdered man lay i with his mutilated face turned up to the ■ sRy- | A revolver report on the prairies ia short. i sharp and echoless. The silence that foli lowed seemed intense and boundless, as if nowhere on earth there was such a thing - as sound. The man on his back gave an > awesome touch of the eternal to the stillness. , Strong, now that it was all over, began j to realize his position. Texas-, perhaps, paid too little heed to life lost in fair fight, b but she had an uncomfortable habttof putt ting a rope around the neck of a cowardly murderer. Strong was an inventor by

• nature. He proceeded to invent big justification. He look one of Danby’s revolvers and fired two shots out of it into the empty air. This would show that the dead man had defended himself at least, and it would be difficult to prove that he had not been the first to fire. He placed the other pistol and knife in their places in Danby’s belt. He took Danby’s right hand while it was still warm and closed' the fingers around the butt of the revolver from which he had fired, placing the forefinger on the trigger of the eocked six-shooter. To give effect and naturalness to the tableau he was arranging for the next traveler by that trail, he drew up the right knee and put the revolver and closed hand on it as if Danby had been killed while just about to fire his third shot. Strong, with the pride of a true artist in his work, stepped back a pace or two.for the purpose of seeing the effect of his work as a whole. As Danby fell, the back of his head had struck a lump of soil or a tuft of grass, which threw the chin forward on the breast. As Strong looked at his victim his heart jumped, and a sort of hypnotic . fear took possession of him and paralyzed r action at its source. Danby was not yet dead. His right eye was open and it glared at Strong with a malice and hatred that mesmerized the murderer and held him there, although he felt rather than knew he was covered by the cocked revolver he had placed in what he thought was a dead hand. Danby’s lips moved, but no sound came from them. Strong could not take his fascinated gaze from the open eye. He knew be was a dead man if Danby had strength to crook his finger, yet he could not take the leap that would bring him out of range. The fifth pistol shot rang out and Strong pitched forward on his face. The firm of Danby & Strong was dis. solved. —Black and White. Electrical 'Window Signs. The manufacturer of electrical window signs ia doing an active business. He has established the fact that if an object in a store window can be kept in motion long enough some one will be sure to stop to look at it. An uptown window sign electrician adopts his own apparatus for pushing his business. In his window he has a central disk, from which three arms radiate. At the end of each arm is a signboard containing a legend commending the advantages of window sign advertising; for instance, one board sets forth: “ If your sign moves and attracts attention your goodswill.” These boards are so hung as to maintain a perpendicular position as they revolve with their face always to the street. The motive powep comes from a cell battery seen in the window. Another novel device which never fails to attract a ciowd is the idea of a vender of electric pianos. Over the sidewalk is fixed a large circular case containing 1 a number of white, flexible, sinuous ! arms, moving from a common center. 1 These are connected with the keyboard and follow the motion of the tfre ~~beyifaeffliy°gjrai4fti tumbling bars in the case seenf to have a constant fascination for the passersby. A Costly Fan. “I can tell you a few things about fans, seeing that I have_beeu in the business all my life,” said M. Ducollet, a Frenchman. “The finest in the world are made in Paris. Once in a great while my house has an order for a very costly one. Last year the Marquis D’Uzes ordered one as a bridal present for his prospective daughter in law that cost him 5,000 francs. It isn’t often that such expensive ones are purchased, even by the wealthy. This one was exquisite, of real lace, hand painted, with diamond monogram. The average rich woman in Paris, however, hardly ever pays over $25 for a fan intended for personal use, and I find that about the same limit prevails in this country. If it were not for the heavy duty of 40 per cent., imposed by this Government, we would sell a great many more fans in America. ” A Gospel Trolley Car. A gospel trolley car will soon be making nightly rounds of New Aork and Brooklyn suburbs. The car made Its first trip a few nights ago, loaded with a melodeon and speakers and singers, connected with the Passaic Street Mission, in Passaic, N. J., made a round trip on the New Jersey Electric Railway, going by way of Paterson to Singad and back. Wherever they sawagroup of people on the sidewalks or rural roadsides the car w T as stopped, and the evangelists sang hymns and exhorted the' bystanders to seek salvation, 'lhe idea is a novel one, and while it is difficult to see how it could be carried out without interfering with the regular traffic of the line, it is possible that some persons might be impelled to better living who could not otherwise be reached. —Philadelphia Record. • - ... Pneumatic Tiros Not Now. Moot people imagine that pneumatic tires are novelties of recent invention, and yet they were actually used on English roads nearly fifty years ago. We read that “at the Bath and West of England agricultural show, held at Guilford, a couple of carriage wheels were shown, fitted with pneumatic tires. These were made by May & Jacobs, for the Duke of Northumberland, forty-seven years ago, but the carriage, proving too heavy for the horse, they were disused. The tires were constructed on almost entirely the same principle as those in use on cycles to-day, an inner air chamber, with stronger outer cover. When punctured they were repaired by the same means as now adopted.

In fact, I should distinctly warn ingenious youth to avoid imitating my example. I labored extremely hard when it pleased me, and when it did not —which very often was the case—l was extremely idle, unless making caricatures of one’s pastors and masters is to be called a branch of industry, or else wasted my energies in the wrong direction. I read everything I could lav my hands upon, including novels, and took up all sorts of pursuits, to drop them again quite as speedily. No doubt it was largely my own fault, but the only instruction from which I obtained the proper effect of education was that which I received from Mr. Wharton Jones, the lecturer on physiology at the Charing Cross School of Medicine. “The extent and preciseness of his knowledge impressed me greatly, and the severe exactness of his method of lecturing was quite to my taste. I do not know that I have ever felt so much respect for anybody as a teacher before or since. I worked hard to obtain his approbation, and he was extremely kind and helpful to the youngster who, I am afraid, took up more of his time than he had any right to do. “The last thing it would be proper for me to do would be to speak of the work of my life, or to say at the end of the day whether I think I have earned my salary or not. Men are said to be partial judges of themselves. Young men may be; 1 doubt if old men are. Life seems terribly foreshortened when they look back . and the mountain they set themselves to climb in youth turns out to be a mere spur of immeasurably higher ranges, when, with a failing breath, they reach the top. “But if I may speak of the objects I have had more or less definitely in view, since I began the ascent of my hillock, they are briefly these: To promote the increase of natural kuowledgejand to forward the application of scientific methods of investigation io all the problems of life to the best of my ability, in the convic- - tion which has grown with my growth . and strengthened with my strength, that there is no alleviation for the sufferings of mankind except veracity ) of thought and of action and the resolute facing of the world as it is i when the garment of make believe by which pious hands have hidden its j uglier feature is stripped off.” 3 — 1 A Monster Bolt.
