The students of the Woman's college in Baltimore who have had the happiness of studying calculus and the theory of equations gave a "mathmematical" dinner other night.

He then asked for 'the sponge,' to moisten the stamp. We handed him a basin of water and a rag. He stood in amazement, and wore a contentance that exhibited intense bewilderment mixed with pain, curiosity, a sprinkling of grief and awkwardness. Then touching the tip of a finely pointed finger on the placid bosom of that 'post office water,' evading a soap bubble he moistened his stamp and modestly disappeared. We felt a touch of sorrow for the young man, who is evidently making his first appearance in the wild and woolly west.

She needed clothing and money to have prescriptions filled, both of which she usually got.

STALKED BY VULTURES. I met with a curious and not altogether pleasant experience, writes an Anglo-Indian correspondent who has done a great deal of large and small game shooting in India, when I was one day stalking a black buck. Between me and my quarry lay a large and flat field of black cotton soil bordered by a very low, straggling and thinly growing hedge of small babal trees. My only way to get a shot was to cross this, keeping the bushiest tree between me and the buck, who had not much to browse on and was therefore self-motionless, I proceeded to do the hundreds yards on the flat of my stomach. This on loose, hard-baked black cotton soil was no joke. I pushed my rifle on ahead then, wriggling past it until the muzzle was near my knee, I would pass it on ahead again, and so on. Progress was slow, and I was so absorbed that I failed to observe shadows crossing and recrossing my path circling round whirring of attracted my ears, and almost at the same moment a vulture landeded on the ground not twenty yards away. I looked up. The air was alive with these repulsive looking birds. Then it flashed across me that I was being stalked! Doubtless these birds were attracted by my extraordinary method of procedure and mistook me for a wounded or dying man making a final effort to reach some shady spot. This was especially possible, as the experience occurred in a famine district where deaths by the wayside were not infrequent. By looking up I had evidently shown myself to the buck for he was now off at full tilt. I therefore took pot shot at the vulture at twenty yards, but did not allow for the sighting sufficiently and missed him. The thought of being waited for by a flock of vultures while very much alive and well was, to say the least, uncanny. Ex. TRIED BOTH WAYS.

Pennington, divorced wife of the defendant's present husband. Pennington is well known in this country and England as the inventor of an airship, a war automobile and other remarkable machines. Mary J. Pennington, who is now living in Carlisle, Pa., demands $1,625 alimony now. Mary J. Pennington obtained a divorce from Pennington at Chicago on Feb. 5, 1900, Pennington paid her $4,500 cash and entered into an agreement to pay her $125 a month as long as she lives. It is alleged that he has paid none of this sum and since Alice Pennington guaranteed the paymement of the monthly sum, she issued. Mrs Alice Durant and Pennington coming to this country from England for ceremony. Mrs. Durant procured a marriage license from the county clerk of Milwaukee county.

The defendant is named as follows in the complaint: 'Alice Durant, formerly known as Marie J. Durant and now called Alice Pennington." She was formerly Nollie Butterfield, whose parents reside at Eighteenth street and Grand avenue a fashionable quarter in this city. The action is brought here because there is property in Milwaukee on which to levy an attachment. AST, JOE MAN'S GENEROSITY.

At 9:15 p.m. he walked unsteadily across Union avenue into the depot and approaching the gateman asked what time the train left for St. Joseph. "Then I've got time for another drink. Come and join me," said he to the gateman. "No, I can't leave I'm too busy' 'Then I'll send you one.' "No, I don't drink anyway."

There is a growing liking among housekeepers for a writing table in the drawing room, and there is much to be said in its favor, although at first thought it seems somewhat unnecessary. It certainly cannot be used for private correspondence, bills or other strictly personal matters, but often it is convenient for the visitor who may wish to leave a message for an absent friend, to write an address or some such trifle. close to the first and so on until the scallop is filled, taking care that the stitches on the under side are shown thus leaving the cotton where it is needed to properly raise the border Stems and scrolls in single lines may be worked in outline or couched, wid er stems are outlined on either edge and filled with French knots or worke solidly in stem or satin stitch while numerous fancy knot and couchin stitches are employed upon others Fancy runs riot in working the leave Only a writing table, be it understood, not a writing desk, is to be established in the drawing room, and it should always be made as decorative as possible, harming with the general character of the room. An extremely simple writing table would be out of place in an apartment brilliant in color and furnishings, and a highly ornate one would not be suited to a room rather severe in style. In any case, it is in better taste to use only dark colors, when a cover is needed, leaving to the fitments of brass, silver or glass, the task of providing the desirable brightness. A carved table of black oak looks well with a scarf of deep crimson or dark blue satin with embroidered ends that hang well over. Such an arrangement would harmonize with a somewhat stately room. A frivolous room with much color and glean of gold might have a gilt table, but never a black oak, says the New York Tribune. OUR EMBROIDERY: LESSON. OUR EMBROIDERY LESSON. For the new mountmellick work comes numerous designs in graceful patterns. Conventional designs in scrolls and delicate traceries, in leaves and five conventionalized fruits and flowers are the most popular, the wreaths and corners are shown in large sprays of fruit and leaves where the stems are stiff and heavy.

The Nature of Protection—Its Real Concern Is for the Well Being of Smaller and Weaker Enterprises—A Chill for English Free Traders. Charlea A. Moore, president of The American Protective Tariff League, in a recent interview published in the New York Mail and Express made some statements regarding the tariff situation which will have a tendency to chill the arder of those Free-Traders who have hoped to make a diversion in favor of their "ism" by girding at trusts. Mr. Moore, who has an incisive mode of expression and who thoroughly understands the subjects he discusses, points out what every American who has the interest of his country at heart should continually keep in mind, that it would be impossible to devise any legislation which could destroy the steel trust that would not at the same time destroy every smaller and individual concern engaged in the same business. "These smaller makers of steel products, he says, "have their specialties in manufacturing. Some of them probably will sell their output to other concerns that have been amalgamated in the steel trust. Others will continue to retain their customers 'at home' and abroad. But if steel goods were placed on the free list these individual manufacturers would be forced to the wall, because the steel trusts of Great Britain, France and Germany, if our tariff barrier were removed, would dump their surplus product upon our market at prices that the smaller manufacturers could not meet. Only the big corporation could survive; and that combination of men, who are kings in the several branches of their business, being united, could compete successfully, I believe, at home and abroad, in any part of the world, with any foreign trust—provided foreign governments do not erect prohibitive tariff barriers against us." There is no one in the United States better qualified to express an opinion on this point than Mr. Moore. He has long been a student of the workings of our protective system, and brings to his studies the experience gained in the conduct of a great manufacturing industry. His opportunities to get at the true inwardness of the situation are unrivaled; therefore when he warns the country that an assault on the steel and other great trusts would be an attack on the weaker concerns his warning should not go unheeded. No one will doubt what he says regarding the ability of the steel trust to compete with the manufacturers in the same line in the old world. That has been made clear to us in many ways, not the least significant of which is the changed attitude of such men as Carnegie and others toward protection. They openly say they do not need if longer, and the free traders have seized upon their admissions with joy, regarding them as an indication of a coming division in the ranks of American protectionists. Mr. Moore, therefore, has rendered a distinct service to his countrymen by pointing out to them the danger, to which the minor industries of the nation would be subjected by abandoning protection. That policy was never adopted, as free traders charge, for the purpose of benefiting "robber barons," by which title they are pleased to designate the manufacturers of the United States, but to build up an American industry, the workers in which would not be subjected to a fierce world-wide competition in which the standard of living of the masses would be reduced to the level of that of the toilers of less favored lands. It is because this is true that it may be asserted with confidence that Mr. Moore's argument will carry weight. If protection only considered the interests of the great establishments which can stand alone it would have precious little support in this country; but as its real concern is the well-being of the small and weaker concerns, whose aggregate productions really exceed those of the combinations, it is sure to retain the support of the people, who are not willing to jeopardize their chances of future comfort by assisting in the promotion of an industrial rivalry, the outcome of which would inevitably be the lowering of the American working-man's standard of living—San Francisco Chronicle. FAULTY MEMORIES. Curious Tendency to Forget What the National Republican Platform Says About Reciprocity. Habitual disregard—suppression, it might be called—of central principles and facts seem to be a uniform characteristic of the votaries of tariff tinkering by means of special trade treaties secretly negotiated and secretly confirmed. They argue along general lines that, if we are to sell more to foreigners, we must buy more from foreigners, unmindful of the complete negation of this theory by the enormous increase in the export of our agricultural and manufactured products in the past four years of adequate protection. They urge that our trade balances are too large, and must be cut down by an increased acceptance of foreign commodities 'to take the place of articles which are now produced at home; but when they are asked to specify the extent to which this industrial harikari shall be carried into effect, where it is to stop and what lines of domestic production shall be driven out of business in order that we may buy as much as we sell, or thereabouts, they make no answer; they dodge the point. A conspicuous instance of this tendency to ignore leading questions and disregard inconvenient facts is exhibited by the Philadelphia Ledger of recent date in commenting upon the attitude of the American Economist in its controversy with Hon. George E. Roberts, director of the mint. Mr. Roberts, says the Ledger, was asked by the Economist "to what extent fact trade and reciprocity would introduce foreign merchandise and supply production in the United States." A false question, was it not? Yet the Ledger in defending the position of Mr. Roberts utterly fails to make note of the fact that that gentleman did not answer the 'question, but applaud him for evading it by a quotation from the Republican platform of 1896, which suppressing the more recent, and therefore more 'binding, declaration of the national Republican platform of 1900, which limits reciprocity 'to what we do not ourselves produce." It is a convenient memory which can forgive 1900 and remembers 1896, but it is mental eccentricity absolutely peculiar to the strenuous advocates of the trade and reciprocity." The St. Paul Pioneer-Press exhibited the same idiosyncrasy when it says, "To designate the failure of the treaties as shameful is hardly severe. The reciprocity clauses of the Dingley law were included in response to a very, general demand for reciprocity and as the first step in the redemption of a pledge in the Republican platform." Again the platform of five years ago, but not the platform of eleven months ago! The official proceeding of the twelfth Republican National Convention, held at Philadelphia June, 1900, are incorporated in a newly bound volume, which is, or should be, in the library of every newspaper office. The little book is undoubted on the shelves of the Ledger and Pioneer-Press. "Presumably its existence has been forgotten. So we nature to refresh the editorial memory by directing attention to the paragraph which begins at the bottom of page 105 and ends at the top of page 105 should be read over and over again some people, for it possesses a peculiar pertinency to the question of the trade and reciprocity." Keep All You Got and Make No Food Suez Canal Traffic Figures. Statistics of Suez canal traffic 1899 and 1900 indicate a remarkable shrinkage of British and American tonnage using the canal in 1900 growth in Austrian, Dutch, French German, Japanese and Russian. The total tonnage using the canal in 1900 was 13,815,991, and in 1900 13,699,213. Over half the tonnage in the last year, or 7,771,346 tons, was British the other large figures being German French and Dutch. American tonnage declined doubtless because of the smaller number of warships going to the Philippines and China via the Suez canal. The wars in South Africa and China have doubtless diverted many British merchant shipping from the Eastern trade and caused many vessels to go east by the way of the Cape-stead of the canal. The growth German tonnage from 1,492,657 in 1900 to 2,040,296 is explained by the German has taken in the China war, the transportation of men and supplies for a large army requires much shipping. The other increases are largely due to due causes. British army in China was drawn chiefly from India and, of course, not traverse the canal. Peculiar to Summer Pe-ru-na Gives Prompt and Permanent Relief. ADVOCATE DEMOCRAT CRAWFORDVILLE, GA. CLEM. G. MOORE Clem G. Moore, Editor of the Advocate-Democrat of Crawfordsville, Ga., writes the Peruna Medicine Company as follows: Gentlemen—"After four years of intense suffering, caused by systemic marrh, which I contracted while editing, and traveling for my paper, I have been greatly relieved by the use of Peruna. I gave up work during these years of torture, tried various remedies and many doctors, but all the permanent relief came from the use of Peruna. My trouble was called indigestion, but it was catarrh all through my system, and a few bottles of Peruna made me feel like another person, noting the improvement after I had used the first bottlemarrh is undoubtedly the best catarrh remedy ever compounded.—Clem G.

To the Editor: A gentleman from thud made a trip through a portion Western Canada last summer and riting of what he saw, says: "Wheat, for instance, will averageenty-five or thirty bushels to the ear. I saw shocks so thick in the old that it would be almost impossible to drive between them. Winters, is said are longer than near Duch, but the Japan current, warm snook winds and dry atmosphere like the winters comparatively mild."

Raising Ducks at Shore. In Hawaii enormous quantities of ducks are raised by the Chinese upon the edges of the ocean. Twice a day, within restricted areas, they are permitted to eat the young fish which swim in the inclosed coves. Fish are reported to be growing scarcer every year, and by some this diminution is attributed to the wholesale destruction of the young fry by the Chinese. Ireland's Oldest Inhabitant Dies. A remarkable Irish centenarian has just passed away in the person of Mrs. Ellen O'Mullane, whose death, at the extraordinary age of 118 years, at Gneaves, near Millstreet, County Cork, is announced. Deceased, who was born in 1783, lived in three centuries, and was certainly the "oldest inhabitant" in the census of Ireland just taken. She had three daughters, who are still living, the eldest now being 82 years, and had besides 25 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. Couldn't Wear Shors. Sumpter, III, June 10th—Mrs. J. B. Flanigan, of this place, had suffered with dropsy for fifteen years. She was so very bad that for the last three years she has not been able to wear her shoes. She had doctored all the time, but was gradually getting worse. Last winter Mr. Flanigan, who was very much discouraged, called for some medicine at Mr. J. J. Dale's drug store in Carmil. Mr. Dale persuaded him to have his wife try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and he bought six boxes. His wife used five out of the six, before she was entirely cured. She is now as sound and as well as ever she was, completely restored to health, and free from any symptom whatever of dropsy. To say that Mrs. Flanigan is pleased at her wonderful deliverance does not half express her feelings, and she and Mr. Flanigan are loud in their praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of Mr. Dale for recommending this wonderful remedy to them. The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills cured Mrs. Flanigan of such a severe case of dropsy, after the doctors had given her up, has made them the most talked of remedy ever known in White county. It's easier for a man to make friends of his creditors than to make creditors of his friends. Hall's Catarrh Cure Deeds show what a man is; words show what he ought to be.

A Cyclone Crossed by a Hurricane Which Drops Tornados. LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY. Wichita. June 11.—A summing up of the dispatches which tell of the storm in Kay and Noble counties of Oklahoma would indicate that there was a cyclone with a diameter of from sixty to a hundred miles, that a hurricane swept through the middle of this territory, covering a width of from ten to twenty miles; that this straight wind generated and formed several tornados within a track of lesser width, some of the dispatches indicating the width of the tornado hatching course as little as three miles. The track of the tornados extended through Kay county and into Noble county, starting not far south of the Kansas line, destroying the small town of Eddy, killing three persons there and injuring several: laying waste farm buildings, wheat fields in the midst of harvest between Eddy and Tonkawa, and at the last named place scattering the materials of 30 dwellings and business houses. There were no fatalities south of Eddy, though many people were more or less hurt. A carpenter whose name is given as Caldwell, the dispatches from three points all giving his initials differently, was killed by lightning between Blackwell and Tonkawa. Heavy falls of both hail and rain accompanied the storm over a much greater extent of territory than has here been mentioned. There are heavy losses and agents for wind and hail insurance almost immediately began to receive notices of loss from Ceres, Perry, Ponca City, Newkirk, Blackwell, Tonkawa, Billings, Deer Creek, with other claims coming in from all along the hurricane's trail. Cherokee High Schools. Tahlequah, I. T., June 10.—The Cherokee high schools have closed. The exercises were the occasion for a national holiday for the whole Cherokee tribe. The schools have been in successful operation since 1857, and are maintained wholly by the Cherokee treasury, the students being charged only a nominal sum for board. The female seminary has a modern building costing $100,000. Hundreds of young Cherokee men and women have graduated with honors, and become prominent in public affairs. This year the female seminary will graduate seven young ladies whose culture would do credit to any educational institution. Puts and Calls Again Barred. Chicago, Jude 12.—The proposed amendments to the Chicago board of trade rules providing for such changes as would enable brokers to trade in puts and calls was defeated by a heavy majority at an election held on change. A decision by the internal revenue bureau placing a tax on privilege trading equal to that paid by bucket shops militated against the success of the amendment. Santa Fe Appointments. Chicago, June s.—The Sante Fe has announced the following appointments: J. W. Kendrick, third vice president, in charge of operation; W. B. Jansen, assistant to president, in charge of Chicago office and the company's coal properties; Captain A. H. Payson, assistant to the president, in charge of Northern California affairs, headquarters in San Francisco. So far, the Buffalo exposition has experienced wet and cold weather. Few Appointments of P. Ms. Washington, June 12.—Inquirers at the postoffice department are told that, generally speaking, that although it is the intention of the president to reappoint the present incumbents, the appointments would be held over until after congress convened. In this way, the necessity of filing two bonds will be avoided. In the case of officers having fixed tenures it may be necessary to make the appointments during the recess. Non-Union Machinists Helped. Toronto, Ont., June 12.—The International Machinists association in convention decided to extend financial aid to non-union men who went out with members of the association. President O'Connell stated that officials were not restricted as to the amount non-union men should receive but he added that in any event it would be sufficient to induce them to remain in the fight to the end. Since May 20 over $40,000 has been distributed among strikers and as yet there is no regular system of benefits. That Big Machine Shop. Topeka, June 12.—The Santa Fe railway has decided to increase the size of the proposed machine shop from 725 feet long to 850 feet long. This change in plans is said to be due to the desire of the company to increase its facilities so that more engines can be handled here than was intended. This new machine shop will be by far the largest building, in point of floor space, in Topeka. It is about one-sixth of a mile long, and is 200 feet wide.

Don't marry a girl who can't cook and sew. Don't live in six rooms when three are enough. Don't marry unless you suit each other. Don't come to me for a divorce.
