THE BANISTERS.
What They Tell the Dweller* In New
York'* Tenement*.
Many a grewsome bit of wisdom lb
gleaned by settlement workers. The
other day a woman of philanthropic
tcndeucles trudged miles looking for
rooms for an unfortuuate family that
had to move. After she had mado a
selection that would tit their scant
means the mother of the family went
arouud to see the rooms before mov
lug In.
"Ob," exclaimed that wise tenement
dweller, "we'd be worse off here than
where we are! This place Is too un
healthy."
"How do you make that out?" asked
the settlement worker. "It strikes me
as being better than most houses of
Its class."
The woman pointed to the banisters,
which ran up through the Ore flights
of stairs to the roof In a ragged, bro
ken line. "Coffins," she said grimly.
"That's what that means. Coffins Is
terrible hard on banisters. There aro
too many deaths here to suit me."
And when the settlement worker
learned that many tenement dwellers
really do Judge of the healthfulness of
a house by the condition of the banis
ters she concluded that that placo
wouldn't suit her either.? New York

WOMAN.
A My*tery That Keep* Man Eternally
on the Que**.
"When woman has ceased to be a
mystery she will cease to be of special
Interest to man," said one among the
loveliest of ber sex, and she Is able to
speak as one having authority, for sho
Is comely and has been alive long
enough to know whereof she speaks.
And, come to think of It, she Is
about right? she Is right.
It Isn't because woman makes of
herself a mystery. She's a mystery in
spite of herself. And nature alone,
being man's superior on earth, seems
to be playing woman so as to keep
man ever guessing, for as soon as he
has succeeded in figuring out ono of
her equations she bands him another,
and so on, and on.
At first the young man thinks bo
knows all about all women, but by the
time bis locks begin to whiten be Is
ready to concede that ho doesn't even
know all about one. Or do you know
all about her?
To the laddie they aro all klssable,
or nearly all, but as tlmo passes the
klssable list shortens and shortens un
til at last? well, you may answer for
yourself, but no doubt It Is quite short
unless you belong to the promiscuous
brotherhood.? Pittsburg Uazette-Tlmes. |
Lure of the Heroic.
Why Is basoball the game of the
summer Instead of croquet, and foot
ball the game of the autumn Instead
of tlddledewlnks? It Is the element of
conflict, of struggle, that gives to the
diamond and the gridiron their empire
over the Imagination. The whole man
goes Into baseball, whereas croquet
cannot contain the entire personality
of any except a very weak dilution of
masculinity. The normal man likes a
game that tries tho player's thew and
sinew, eye and brain, heart and cour
age.
The fact of the matter is that notb- j
lng Is more attractive to men than
difficulty, hardship, danger. The call
of the heroic Is irresistible. A case in ;
point is that of a man who left ono
position for another a few months
ago. He turned bis back on friends
and a sure success to grapple witb
difficulties of a most unusual kind.
His employers otTered him everything
they could give him to Induce him to
remain. But one thing they could not
duplicate? the opportunity for a strug
gle such as tries men's souls. That
was more to blm than the material
reward.? St. Loula Republic.
