They told him that it was excel lent, for its weight was : exactly 100,' - which was all that could be asked. He was greatly gratifidd. They next said they wished to analyze it. f They put it in a crucible, and tested it in various ways with this result: 14 parts, selfish- nciAfelJ parts, sectarianism; T22, ambi- -tion; 31. love to man, and 26, love to God.

" t-y 1 The reiteration of any statement, how ever important or timely, becomes mo notonous, but so long aa mischievous Ideas are promulgated they must be met and discredited, though it be seventy times seven and more. Otherwise, the 'world would remain eternally in error. It will be admitted, even by the most radical of the so called woman's rights advocates, that, in conformity to her peculiar physical organization, the . fe male of the human race has been espe cially created to perform a specific work in the domestic economy. This is, com prehensively stated, to bear children and maintain the home. ; On the other hand, it was manifestly intended that the male of the human race should cherish and- protect her, assuming the severer physical labor which must be performed and shielding her from every danger that might threaten the health, happi ness and perpetuation of the species. In the original plan one duty was not re garded subordinate or inferior to the other. Nature had "simply divided the burden of existence, assigning to one the active part of providing food, and shel ter, and to the other the more important part in the reproduction of the species to strip it of all its sentimentality and state it plainly. ', . But in this, as in all thingalse, the . majority of men have ; subverted the law of nature and have promulgated the theory that they, the actual earners of wealth, owe little ijo women who mere ly raise children and preside over the home which they, the men, have found ed, and which they alone work to sus tain. This assigns maternity and home keeping to an inferior position and places the mother: and the head-of the bouse-' hold in the attitude of dependent, who must be content with whatever the hus band and father sees fit to give her, dis regarding common justice and that which is her rightful duethe absolute and equal division of all that accrues through his work and her economy. The increasing love of luxury among men, the ' comfort which club life pro vides, with emigration from thickly populated centers to remote fields of in dustry, have reduced the number of mar riageable men in many states. This, ' with the unwillingness of' the few to accept the dependence of the nature de scribed above, has also largely increased the number of unmarried women who choose to, or are forced ,to, provide for themselves. Whether they belong to one class or the other, it remains none the less certain that whatever income they are to have they must acquire by their own efforts. They have no other alter native, unless they are willing to, accept the distasteful charity of wealthy friends or relatives, or join the army of the lost, whose brief season of ease and luxury 'almost inevitably ends in the prison. tne aimsnouse or tbe potter s tela. I -And yet, again and again, and still again, solemn exhortations are sounded from the pulpit warning"woman" from deserting the home, her proper sphere, to join the feverish multitudes who crowd the marts and highways of 'the world. Women themselves, weak, fool- . ish ' and unthinking, selfishly satisfied I lit. i t wiui luwir own seclusion, ecno me sense less and cruel command.! - ' ' j ) For it is cruel, as heartless as the sug gestion of the pampered French queen whose subjects', starving for' bread, were advised "to put a chicken in the pot." i I. The wife of a famous! Union general sometime ago deplored the exodus of woman from thehomeinto business and -the professions. In all her life she had never known want or the lack of a thing she desired. After the death of her hus band, friends and the government, h consideration of his service, provided for her so that she might enjoy the same comfort to'the end of "her days. Not a dollar of the generous Income was the result of fher own . personal effort, and but' for the bounty of the country she might have learned something of the stress, which forces other women to seek an honest livelihood for themselves. The situation has passed beyond the power of any human being to alter it Instead of decreasing, no matter what the result may be, the exodus will con tinue. Those women who have braved the world have tested through experience the sweetS of independence and the satis faction which comes from being able to provides a living for the present; but in dependence in old age. Poverty, heip lessness bread and board that are bit terly grudged have hurried many a wo man to her grave whose old age, had .she been able to benefit by the new condi tions of today, would have been serene and unclouded. , ; There -is no fear , that women will cease to marry and to aid in founding homes, but. the skilled workwoman of the twentieth century will be able to de mand, that equality in matters of domes tic authority and finance which her ig norant sister dared not ask, hampered by the limitations of her sex, aggravated by her ignorance.

I suppose that; is the Ireason sa inany people axe - doing good iby telling falsehoods to personal property assess ors. " The writer is a dqiuty assessor in the west town, and at present he is corn Tiling a book that is full of names and figures..; The names are all right, but the man who said ''figures can't lie" never assessed personatproperty y; There are! about ,60 of yes. assessors, who farm in a line at 9 a. m. move up to a window in Assessor Jacob M. . Horn's west, town of3ce,y Haymarket Theater building, and get our books and blank schedules. These calfskin covered J books contain a little map of some par ticular. district in the great West Side." . We move out to these districts and go , to work, i The town clerk registers our oaths to "faithfully perforin the duties of ah assessor," and the people we as sess do the rest of the swearing, y That isn't all j Sometimes they set the dog on us and otherwise treat ns as though we were book agents. That makes the assessor, warm, and then he interviews. a neighbor regarding property that is not accessible, j And the consequenoe ii people who "bounced" the assessor will find a valuation placed upon their prop erty, that will cause them to think there is nothing certain but death and taxes. -Occasionally we find poverty and a pi ano together. The piano is assessable, and the poverty isn't. If you assess the piano,:, you increase the poverty, and there you are. . V . y- j . . . ;. : These incongruities come up, and un less you have the wisdom of a board of equalization there is trouble, ji Speaking about this board. I have an idea that they will just about double the poor as sessors' figures when they get down to work.!' - A keen assessor can locate every piano in his district . If he doesn't hear it, everybody else in the neighborhood has, and they tell him about it. Tasked a real nice looking lady the other day if she had a piano, and she said "Na" "Why, yes, mamma, we have," said her little girL .!! : - -,j yy.- The mother said: "Go into the house this minute, you naughty girl. How dare you 1" And then the child knew she had done something wrong. She had told the truth to a nasty, mean assessor. I went into a little candy store on tbe same street. To the woman behind the counter I stated my business. She replied : "I am a poor widow. My Qod,what will I do?" Tears flowed down her cheeks, and she sobbed as though her heart would break. The as sessor felt so mean that he sneaked out without asking her name. ; Even the parrots are down on assess ors. A Laflin street bird told the as sessor to goto any number of times while he was conducting the inquisito rial ceremony., '-. . -. . That bird speaks very plainly, " said the writer. ' - ' .;y ' Just hear the dear'fellow. He can say i j just as plainly as I can. I will Bell hipi for $15. There's a bargain. " And the lady meant every word she said.

Here is a bit of advice tq persons who are inclined to resent the intrusion of an assessor: The advice does, not cost a cent, but if you do not act upon it you may be caused no end of trouble and money also. Throw your door wide ppen to the assessor, invite him in, give Mm to understand that you are the obliged party fid give him the information he seeks, land it is 10 to 1 that you will be treated fairly, and a! point or two may be stretched jn your favor. Shut him but, and he will make a record of the fact, and in fixing "the valuation of your property find nothing in your fa vor. If you go -to the office with your schedule, the fact that you refused ad mittance to the deputy is noted, and in that event you will pay all the law de mands.

In the meantime; however, I told my assistant tO hasten around td the old man's hotel and make a scientific search of 'hia room. The "westerner insisted that he had -drunk no -more wine than usual at the dinner, but I was satisfied that he was " deceiving, himself. I had not been long at the ireliminary meas urements when my assistant called - me out and handed me the teeth. He had found'them in the 1 pillowcase, where the owner had put them instead of un Aor Mia Tiillow. ' - - t "I returned the teeth and the railroad man was so overjoyed that- he did not cancel the order, but told me. to go ahead with- the teethe They might come in handy some time,j he said. He even unbent so far as to admit that perhaps, after all, he had drunk a glass of wine " too much the night before, and when I sent him my bill J received a check for I double the amount from him.

As he threw himself back into the embrace of ; the cushioned chair of a Union squares, barber shop he scowled fiercely at the barber and buried his face in the newspaper. -. But the barber didn't mind the ugly opening,1 He leaned over, garroted the tonsorial pa tient with a towel and painted his f ace. jith lather. Whea be had fupflapped a razor once or twice along the strop he began mildly : ' J - "Nice day, sir." ' I "0h, is it?" answered the other.' ." " . The barber looked startled, but he tried again. ' - f "Paper says "we're going to .have nice weather now.". - - , y Thanks," was the answer, "I know, how to read mvself. " At this rebuff the barber kept si lence. But he shaved against tbe grain, tweaked the. other's nose and daubed soap into the corner of his month. The gruff man swore softly, ; the barber smiled, and as a final act of violence grabbed the other by the top of the scalp and twisted his head until the cervical vertebra creaked again. - T "Say," cried the gruff man, "my head ain't no roulette wheeL" , : y But still the barber shaved on in si lence. He shaved and-shaved, scraping the skin so close that . it showed ragged under the blade. Then, leaning over, he grabbed a handful of raw and tender skin and rolled it between his fingers until the other groaned aloud. As the tear drops stoledown the scarified face the barber administered the final taunt: y- "Do you shave yo&self, sir?" i "No,'roared the gruff man, leaping up ipf the chair, "I shave my grand mother and sister's nieces. " y lb .. ' Then he buried his face in the paper and the barber smiled and smiled and smiled, while he rubbed alum' into the sore spots on the victim's chin. New Yerk World.. r A Poor likeness. Here is a good story illustrative of the prosaic nature, on which art makes no; impression: In Westminster abbey there is a large marble tablet in memory of a famous bishop. It is a basrelief, representing the bishop a portrait in the agony of death, sinking into the arms of an al legorical female figure, presumably in tended for the angel of death. . '' Tt is said that an aged couple from the country were being , shown round the abbey, and pausing long before the tab let the old lady remarked to her husband:-- , ' -y ' i i "That's a good likness of. the bishop, but, " regarding the angelic personage attentively, "it's a very poor one of Mrs. .' I knew her well, and she didn't look like that. "Boston Traveller. ' The Fat's In tbe Fire. i "The fat's in the fire," indicating that an enterprise has suffered disaster, is found in very old English times. The metaphor is, of course', drawn rom, the sight, familiar enough at hog killing time, of lard .Deng melted from the fat portions of the carcass, the upsetting of the vessel causing" the loss of the melted fat ; By a figure of .speech, fat is sup posed to indicate good luck or wealth, and the "fat's isrthe fire" was synony mous with the failure of a promising en terprise. ;. . ...;;,- He Knew Her Perfectly. : ,.y The outspoken ways and caustic say ings of Dr. Jephson of Leamington,, cel ebrated in the forties and fifties, have furnished the kernel of many anecdotes. One day he was called on by one whom Brantome would hava called "une grande dame de par la . monde, ' the Marchioness ot Having listened to a description of her malady, the ora cle pronounced judgment: ; -; "An egg and a cup df tea for break fast, then walk for two hours ; a slice of cold beef and half a glass of madeira for luncheon, then walk again - for two hours ; fish, except salmon, and a cutlet or wing of fowl for dinner, with a sin gle glass of madeira or claret ; to bed at 10 and rise at 6, eta No carriage exer cise, please.". ' :. v.;- "But, doctor," she exclaimed at last, thinking he was mistaken in his visitor, ' 'pray, do you know who I am ? Do you know ahemi my position?" ---. - " "Perfectly, madame," was the reply. : "I am prescribing for an old woman with a deranged stomach. 'i'rNineteenth Century.-' i . ; c . y ;. ... .
