REGARDING MEN AND WOMEN
According to a Woman Writer Men
ArA Loyal and “Easy to Get
I Along With.”
I _
Various apt, incisive comments made
by Gail Hamilton almost half a century
ago on “Men and Women” are in most
respects equally full of force to-day,
with all the vaunted progress woman
has made, says the New York Tribune.
“Men are strong; they do things, and
don’t mind it,” admits this vigorous
woman writer. “They can open doors
in the dampest weather. They can un
strap trunks without breaking a blood
vessel, turn keys in a moment which
women have lost their tempers and
lamed their fingers over for half an
hour; look down precipices and not be
dizzy. . . . You may strike them
with all your might on the chest, and it
doesn’t hurt them in the least (I mean
if you are a woman.) They never grow
nervous and cry. They go upstairs
three at a time. They put one hand
, on a four-rail fence and leap it without
' touching. In short, they do everything
easily which women try to do and can
not.
“Moreover,” continues this commen
Aptor, “men are so ‘easy to get along
j with.’ They are conveniently blind and
benevolent. Women criticise you, not
unjustly, perhaps, but relentlessly.
They judge you in detail, men only in
,r the whole. If your dress is neat, well
fitting and well toned, men will not no
tice it, except a few man-milliners and
a few others who ought to be. If you
will only sit still, hold up your head
and speak when you are spoken to, you
can be very comfortable. I do not mean
that men cannot and do not appreciate
female brilliancy, but if your are a good
listener and in the right receptive mood
you can spend an hour very pleasantly
without it.
“But a woman finds out in the first
tuicu uimuico tiicil tut? liiuge uu jruur
dress is not a match. In four she has
discovered that the silk of your sleeves
\ is frayed at the edge. In five that the
binding of the heel of your boot is
worn out. By the sixth she has satis
factorily ascertained what she suspected
the first moment she ‘set eyes on you,’
that you trimmed your bonnet your
self. The seventh assures her that your
collar is only ‘imitation;’ and when you
part, at the end of ten minutes, she has
calculated with tolerable accuracy the
cost of your dress, has leveled her men
tal glasses at all your innocent little
subterfuges and knows to a dead cer
tainty your past history, present cir
cumstances and future prospects. Well,
what harm if she does? None in par
ticular. It is only being stretched on
the rack a little while. You have no rea
son to be ashamed. Your boots are only
beginning to be shabby, and we ail know
the transitory nature of galloon. Your
lr\ fringe is too dark, but you ransacked
f the city and did your best, ‘angels could
do no more.’ You trimmed your bonnet
yourself e/d .saved two dollars, which
jpp , ^ you intended to do. Your
lace is not real, according to the cant of
the shopkeepers, but it is real—real
cotton, real linen, real silk, or what
ever the material may be, and you
never pretended it was Honiton or
point. . . .
“But if men, in their strength and
courage and independence, are enviable,
men in their gentleness are irresistible,”
concluded the writer. “You expect gen
tleness in women. It is their attribute
and characteristic. You do not admire
its presence so much as you deplore or
condemn its absence. But manly ten
derness has a peculiar charm . . .
and you meet it everywhere—in the
house and by the wayside in
city and country, under broad
cloth and homespun. You may
travel from one end of the country to
the other, and meet not only civility,
but the most cordial and considerate
kindness. You may be as ugly as it is
possible for virtue to be, and tired and
travel-stained and stupid, and your
neighbor of a day will show you all the
little attentions you could claim from a
father or brother or husband. . . .

so good as to do the law making, and

thusiastic ovef this involuntary out
gushing of the stream of kindness which
flows so continually from men to us
ward? I have a right to be. A nation
of men loyal, not to grace, beauty, mag
nificence, but to womanhood, to the
highest impulses of human nature, to the
love element of the universe, is a thing
to b? enthusiastic about.”
The Picture Hat.
“I witnessed an amusing incident at
one of the local theaters the other
evening,” remarked the theater-goer.
“A woman, wearing a large picture
hat, was seated directly in front of an
elderly man, who was straining his
neck in an endeavor to see what was
happening on the stage, and, of course,
It was only possible for him to see but
one-third of the jrformance.
“The second e jt had begun, and I
could plainly see that his anger was
Increasing. At last, when he could
stand it no longer, he lightly tapped
the woman on the shoulder, and, in as
gentle tone as he possibly could mus
ter, said:
“ ‘Madam, pardon me, but I paid two
dollars for this seat, and your hat—’
" ‘My hat cost $25, sir-r-r!’ came the
haughty reply.
“The conversation was at an end."

THE MAID WAS NO FOOL.
Gentlemanly Intruder with Thievish
Intention Compliments the One
Who Foiled Him.
Thieves, if the adage may be trusted,
have a fine senes of humor. This is the
story of one who was enough of the
fine gentleman t() recognize ability and
admire it, even when its possessor had
foiled his best laid plans for generous
loot.
One afternoon a few days ago the mis
tress of one of the most beautiful of the
new' houses along Riverside drive went
out in her carriage, with the information
that she should not return for several
hours at least. About four o’clock the
bell rang, and the maid went to the
door. Opening it, she found, smiling in
a polite and friendly manner, a tall, dis
tinguished looking and well dressed man,
who requested the privilege of seeing
Mrs. Blank for a moment on business of
importance.
“Mrs. Blank has gone out and left no
word as to when she will come back,”
said the maid.
“Has she been gone long?” inquired
the polished stranger.
“About two hours,” said the maid.
“Unfortunate,” murmured the
stranger, in a vexed voice. “It is so im
portant. May I come in and wait for a
short time? She may return."
The maid led the way into the recep
tion hall and bade the elegant stranger
be seated. He settled himself comforta
bly, and looked around with critical in
tentness. Bric-a-brac, objects of art,
rare bronzes ornamented the tables and
the mantels. The maid sat at a respect
ful distance, with her profile severely
outlined by a window. Fifteen minutes
passed. The stranger stirred uneasily
in his deep chair. He spoke:
“I beg pardon, but I think it will hard
ly be possible for me to wait longer. I
shall therefore leave a message for your
mistress. Would you mind providing
me with paper and pencil?” •
The maid bowed respectfully and
aI, a/1 a « a1 aa+a! a HP nrtlito
stranger watched her with interest. An
other maid appeared.
“Annette, this gentleman desires to
leave a note for madam. Will you please
get paper and pencil from the study?”
She returned to her polite attitude
near the window. Her profile was re
markably well defined. The pencil and
paper were brought and handed to the
polite stranger. He did not begin writ
ing at once. He paused, as if in thought.
Then he looked long and keenly at the
silhoutte of the maid against the win
dow, and wrote briefly. The note, was
inclosed in the envelope and sealed. He
rose to his feet, and with a profound bow
handed it to the respectful and attentive
maid.
“Kindly give this to your mistress.
No, it will not be necessary to leave my
card. She will understand perfectly.”
He bowed and was gone. The maid
watched him until his smooth silk hat
disappeared from view.
A few minutes later her mistress re
turned, and the maid handed her the
note. “A gentleman left it, madam,
asking that I should give it to you im
mediately you returned.”
Her mistress handled it curiously, ob
served the address with some doubt, and
opened the envelope. She read care
fully twice and then looked inquiringly
at the maid. “What does this mean,
Mary?” she asked. “Here, read it.”
Mary took the note an3 read it. She
smfiled slightly as she handed it back.
“He means, madam, that he did not
enjoy his stay, I think.”
j The note read:
“Mrs. Blank.—Dear Madam: A complete
stranger takes the liberty of Informing
you of what you are probably already
aware, and with great pleasure attests to
the valuable fact that your maid is no fool.

GARB OF BRITISH TROOPS.
. It Is Reported That Officers Are Very
Much Dissatisfied with Their
Uniforms.
But, for some inscrutable reason, our
soldiers appear to think their uniform
is a badge of shame, or, at least, of
servitude, says the London Truth. Any
self-respecting officer, so far as I can
see, would rather die at the head of a
forlorn hope than go to a theater or
restaurant or a private ball full of reg
imentals. A noncommissioned officer
who sees a brother warrior privileged
to walk down the street in plain clothes
turns sick with envy. No soldier of
any rank seems to consider that uni
form can enhance his attractions to
the female eye, and the only way in
j which I have ever heard of its being
! used for this purpose is by the humble,
impecunious private, who charges a fe
male admirer so much an hour—two
pence, I believe, the usual fee—for
walking out in company with him.
What makes this the more strange is
that it is entirely peculiar to the Brit
ish army. In every foreign country
soldiers—and officers most of all—seem
to be extremely proud of themselves
therein. The effect of smart military
uniforms in brightening up a crowd,
whether out of doors or at any evening
assemblage, is undeniable. As a mere
matter of aesthetics most people will
agree that it would be a decided im
provement if uniforms were worn in
England as they are on the continent.
And from the merely professional point
of view I cannot help thinking that it
would be of advantage to the army if
soldiers of all ranks were expected to
take more pride in the king’s livery,
and not encouraged so much as they
now are to consider it a privilege to
appear as civilians.
Pneumonia Kills Thousands.
During the months from November to
April one-fifth of all deaths in the large
cities of the United States are from
pneumonia, while but one-ninth are
from consumption.
REMEMBER WOMAN’S GLANCE
Men May Forget the Color of Her Hair,
But the Power of Her Eye
Is Potent.
A woman’s eyes are the first objects
to attract a man’s attention, and they
are the last things he remembers about
her. Long after he has forgotten the
color of her hair, the dimple in her
chin and the soft, sweet sound of her
voice, the look in her eye remains with
him, says an authority on the sub
ject.
He may not be able to single her
glove out of a pile of keepsakes; he
may have cast her photograph upside
down into the waste basket with a lot
of others; the slippers she made him
may have been worn out by his valet,
but still some particular turn of her
glance, some little trick of dropping
her lashes or lifting her brown eyes
will be as clear to him as the daylight.
Ten years after love has been laid
away in his little satin-lined casket
that glance will rise like Banquo’s
ghost at the feast and startle him just
at the moment when the man is look
ing most intently into the eyes of an
other woman.
It is not the color of a woman’s eyes
which a man first observes or last re
members. Nine times out of ten a
man will turn from the glance of a
j pair of soft brown, cowlike eyes to
gaze into the green orbs of the red
headed girl on the other side of the
table, and many a doll-like, blue-eyed
beauty weeps because some pug-nosed,
tawny-eyed woman has lured away her
sweetheart.
Ask any man the color of his sister’s
eyes and he will look at you blankly.
“Jove,” he will remark, “I—I believe
I’ve forgotten. But they’re all right.
There’s something about them that’s
oatchy.” And that is positively all that
can be gotten out of him.
The fact that Becky Sharpe’s eyes
were green or that Cleopatra’s eyes
were yellow never interfered with the
machinations of those fascinating la
dies, nor dulled their reputations as
coquettes. Color, size and shape may
make an eye beautiful, but they never
can give it that something which so
many beautiful eyes lack and so many
homely ones possess, the power to
make a man break a bank or sell his
overcoat in order to give his wife what
she wants.
When the world was sentimental
men called it “soul.” Then -*hey grew
practical and apathetic and they called
it “character.” But no man will ever
know what it is any more than he will
ever know why he married the particu
lar woman he picked out or why the
cook has left. It is a question as
subtle and elusive as either of these.
WONDERS IN MECHANICS.
Some That Were Worked by Young
Americans with a Genius for
Invention.
A young man who at 21 had been be
fore the mast, had worked in the
chemical department of a mill and had
lectured upon nitrous-oxide gas
throughout the country patented the
rotating chamber for a pistol. It was
not considered particularly valuable un
til after his first company that made it
had failed and fights in Texas and with
the Seminoles in Florida proved its
worth. The Mexican war made a de
mand for it
The same mechanic, says the
World’s Work, who did so much for
early ax-making developed details in
revolver-making. The American plan
of not hesitating at the cost of new
appliances was never better shown
than in this big armory. The owner
was probably the first man to suggest
the mining of harbors with torpedoes
for defense, and he was the first to lay
a submarine electric cable. One day a
young man from Vermont came to his
| works.
“What can you do?” asked the su
| perintendent.
“I'm a machinist, a toolmaker and a
■ diesinker and I can play a horn in a
band, was tne reply.
He went to work the next day. A
few years later he multiplied by 40 the
value of certain labor in another fac
tory, and by another invention saved
the company $50,000 on contracts al
ready made. Later, with a sewing ma
chine company, he forged shuttles from
one piece of bar steel and cut previous
costs in half. Since that time he has
made forgings by the use of drops
weighing as much as a ton dropping
with dies sometimes six feet upon iron,
steel and copper. An example of his in
ventive genius is the instance of his
forging offhand from a single piece of
i copper commutator bars for electric
dynamos after the electrician in charge
had said that such a scheme was im
possible.
Priest and Donkey.
When Archbishop Farley was private
chamberlain to the late Pope Leo, some
20 years ago, he was called upon to meet
all sorts of persons. Many of them
measured wits with him, and few scored
j victory. On one occasion a young
Frenchman tried his best to anger the
prelate, then Mons. Farley, by scoffing
at religion and clergymen. Failing in
this, he resorted to sheer impudence,
saying: "I am informed that in Mada
gascar, whenever they hang a priest,
they hang a donkey along with him.”
The young man laughed, and Mons.
Farley, looking at him mildly, said:
“Well, let us both be thankful, my young
friend, that we are not in Madagas
car"

MARK HANNA’S COURTSHIP
How, When a Young Grocer, He
Wooed and Won the Daughter
of Daniel Rhodes.
Nearly 38 years ago Mark Hanna
was Just starting on his business ca
reer as a grocer in Cleveland. He
was poor, plodding, and to the casual
observer a very every-day sort of young
man, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Daniel Rhodes was one of the rich
coal owners of the state. He had one
daughter, Gussie, the very idol of his
soul. Around this lovely girl the
brusque old father had wreathed all
the sentiment, all the hopes of his fu
ture existence. Everything was to be
done for Gussie. Mrs. Rhodes, her
fond mother, was a joint idolator at
the daughter’s shrine, and the doting
parents had dreams of a rich, influen
tial suitor, a splendid marriage and a
brilliant social career for Gussie,
when, as usual, the unexpected hap
pened. Gussie Rhodes met and loved
the obscure, poor young man, Mark
Hanna. Mr. Rhodes was astounded
when the daring young grocer called
upon him and asked for the hand of his
daughter. He refused absolutely to
grant the young suitor even time
enough to beg. He said “no” curtly
and sharply, and when he saw his
daughter he tried to scold her, but in
stead he took her in his honest arms
and begged her not to think of “this
unknown man, Hanna.” He said he
never, never could consent to such a
choice for his child.
Gussie Rhodes told her father, with
many a reassuring embrace, that she
would never marry without his con
sent, and she added: “But, papa dear,
I shall never marry any man but Mark
Hanna.”
Then she promised her father not to
see her lover or write to him for a
year at least. She kept her promise,
and in the course of a few weeks, al
though she never audibly murmured,
and was sweetly gentle and loving to
all about her, she grew pale and wan.
She neither ate no slept. The old fa
ther was at his wit’s end. Some one
proposed a foreign tour for that change
of scene which is supposed to work
wonuers m ueitiL antjcuuiis, auu,
presto at a few hours’ notice, father,
mother and daughter were on board
an Atlantic liner.
For nearly a year the “change of
scene” prescription was faithfully pur
sued and the patient, always cheerfully
submissive, gentle and charming, ob
viously grew frailer day by day. Al
most in despair the old man brought
his child home sffeain and one morn
ing he gathered the courage to ask
her if she till cared for Mark Hanna.
“Why, father,” she replied, “I shall
-Iways love Mark; I told you that,
you know, a year ago.”
Poor old “Uncle Dan” Rhodes! That
was a bitter day for him, but he was
equal to the occasion. Sending for the
obscure young man, he said to him:
“Mr. Hanna, Gussie loves you, that is
my only reason for accepting you as
her future husband. You are poor. I’ll
fix it so Gussie can live as she has
been accustomed to and I suppose I
must see you marry her."
Now the coming young man cast ever
Bo slight a shadow of his future great
ness on the opportunity of the present.
“Mr. Rhodes ” said he, “I most grate
fully accept the gift of your daughter’s
love. To marry her is for this world to
become a paradise for me, but I cannot
make her my wife unless she will be
content to live as my means will enable
us. I can neither accept aid nor per
mit my wife to accept it from any
one.”
So Mark Hanna and Gussie Rhodes
were married, ana the bride went from
her father’s big house to live in a tiny
little cottage, where with one maid of
all work, she was as happy as a queen
for some years.
LINE OF CASTE IN ENGLAND
The American in That Country Soon
Becomes Conscious of Its
Restrictions.
wiiax is it, at uoiLOiu, tiiat wanes
the English atm&sphere so difficult
for an American to breathe in freely?
It is, I believe, that he leels himself
in a country where the dignity of life
is lower than in his own; a country
where a man born in ordinary cir
cumstances expects, and is expected, to
die in ordinary circumstances; where
the scope of his efforts is traced be
forehand by the accident of position;
where he is handicapped in all cases
and crushed in most by the superin
cumbent weight of caste, convention,
“good form” and the deadening artifi
cialities of an old society, comments a
writer in the North American Review.
That unconquerable buoyancy which
Infects the American air like a sting
and challenge, and braces every Ameri
can with the inspiration that he has a
chance in life; that there are open op
portunities, unreserved possibilities,
no battering at locked doors, no floun
dering in blank alleys; that here, in
short, it is the man himself who
makes his career—is sometning which
the English have so utterly lost as to
be incapable of realizing it.
For Purifying Air.
Pure breathing air can now be main
tained in a small closed space by the
use of machinery. The device consists
of a distributor, which, by the action of
clockwork, drops sodium peroxide into
water at regular intervals, a cubical
steel box and a ventilating fan. The
sodium peroxide is decomposed by the
water with liberation of oxygen, ab
sorption of carbon 'dioxide and destruc
tion of the other toxic products of res
piration. A refrigerator is also sup
plied to counteract the heating effects
of the chemical reactions. The com
plete apparatus weighs about 26
pounds.—Detroit News-Tribune.
