On Equality with Men.
Women jOHtal clerks la Norway
have bettn inomlst'd equal pay with
the men clerks as one of the first re-
sults of their obtaining equal jiolitlc&l
rights. In the seventeenth century
when Englishwomen wore still recog-
nized as possessing an economic and
political ciatiiH side by side with Eng-
lishmen there was written an Interest-
ing entry In the church warden's so-
counts cf St. Martln's-lnthe-Flelds
proving that one Elizabeth Uartlett
was Intrusted with the casting of the
second bell and that all the women
employed thus were paid at the same
rate as men for the same work. An-
other Instance Is to be found In the
records of the Fleet prison of which
the first female warden appointed la
1217 on the death of her husband Uob-
bert received the same salary "as the
said Kobert had been accustomed to
during his life." There was no talk
then of confining the woman's sphere
to work that was paid badly.
Improved Electric Heating.
The ordinary parlor stove Is used
by Herr Gutzah of Berlin as a re-
ceptacle for an electric radiator con-
sisting of a wire or carbon of suitable
resistance and In this way is con-
verted Into an electric heater more
satisfactory than those hitherto tried.
Too great local drying of the air Is a
usual fault of electric heating. With
the new arrangement the air circula-
tion produced by the stove rapidly
distributes the heut and at the same
time gives ventllu.lon and prevents
excessive drying. The ordinary cur-
rent consumption warms an average
room in about an hour. With the large
tile Btoves eo common in Germany the
heat Is retained a long time and the
coRt of keeping the room comfortable
Is moderate.
Mozart's Feat of Memory.
In 1770 when Mozart was osily 14
years of a he went on a tour
through Italy. In Easter week he was
in Rome and went to the Slstlne
Chapel to hear the wonderful Easter
music. This Included the celebrated
and beautiful Miger?re of Gregorlo Al-
legrl a piece which was not allowed
to be transcribed for use outside of
the Vatican. After one heariug Mo
sart went home and made an almost
exact copy of the piece from memory
making only one or two corrections
after a second visit. The feat created
an Immense sensation for at the time
the s:::-'ers were forbidden io tran-

Distinguishing Time.
Through the fundamental division
of time the day appears intuitive to
most persons It is well to remember
that in the arctic regions the marking
of this division is by no means easy.
During several successive months the
aun is either always below or always
above the horizon and the only meth-
od a very uncertain one of distin-
guishing between day and night is to
observe the times of high and low tida.
Division of time Into months comes
from the motions of the moon. Malaya
Polynesians and Australian aborigines
retkon time exclusively by months
and days.
The Human Thermometer
"No sir" protested the bottle-nosed
monthly nurse to the youthful father
"I don't say as your suggestion for
taking the temperature of the dear
little hlnfant'8 bath with a thermomy-
ter ain't sensible enough on the part
o' some misses but I don't requlra
anythink o' the kind. The hinfant
hlsaelf Is sufficient intimation to ma.
If the water's too hot he turns red;
an' If it's too cold ho turns blue. You
can't have anythink plainer than
that."
Freak Photography.
The newest thing in freak photogra-
phy In Egypt is posing for photographs

hole Is left where the i
face of the sphinx should be and Eng-
lish and American faces peer out from
this vantage upon thu photographer.
A Look Into the Future.
In South Africa the dream of finan-
ciers and railroad builders is that at
some future time travelers may land
at Pernambuco r.nd by taken across the
continent to Valparaiso in less than
tour days and without change of car-
riage. Ti .-n Out Many Bibles
The Bible press of Oxford producea
on an average 3000 copies of the Bi-
ble not to mention prayer books
every day. The skins of 100000 ani-
mals are used every year for tha cor-
era of Oxford I'lb'.es.
Another Beatitude.
It is not written blessed is ha that
feedeth the poor but he that consid-
ered the poor. A little thought and
a little kindness are often more than
a great deal of money. Ruskln.
NATURE' FAKE!
St.. Louis Mo. Dec. 10. A veritable
nature fake which would turn Presi-
dent Koosevelt green with envy and
which probably v.ju cauHe hm t0
transfer his proposed African hunting
trip to St. Louis and Its environs has
been discovered In the stonweh of a
huge catfish caught by W. Pokornl.
The animal resembles a bullfrog but
has the head of a miniature whale
the body of an eel and has a mouth
which runs lenghwlse of Its body. It
Is twelve Inches Jong. The curiosity
Is on exhibition at Rabrand's pharm
acy 17C0 South Eleventh street.
BEWITCHED STAIRWAY.
Princeton Ind. Dec. 10. Thomas
Mounce believes that a stairway at his
home here Is bewitched. A few days
ao his aged mother-in-law Mrs. Eliza
Coleman fell down the stairs and her
death resulted from a broken back.
Since then Mrs. Mounce has broken
both arms by falling down the stairs
and other members of the family have
been slightly injured.
Garbage ind Garage.
The other day Claude wrote: "Isn't
It about time we were renewing our
boyhood acquaintance? Send me a
photograph of your home." Nothing
loath Frank ordered the town photog-
rapher to prepare 100 oostcard pic-
tures of his home and surroundings
and of these sent a dozen different
views to Claude. He did not discover
until too late that three big garbage
barrels were In the foreground. In a
couple of weeks Claude sent a dozen
views of his mansion to Frank and
In the foreground were three beauti-
ful automobiles with a marble garage
hard by. "Only the small letter b
divides os" wrote the surgeon; "you
have the garbage I have the garage;
I have the autos you have the bar-
rels." Frank feeling rather humili-
ated telegraphed: "Garbage barrels
a mistake of photographer; they be-
long to my neighbor." Claude replied:
"Same with my autos and garage;
got In by mistake; belong to my neigh-
bor." New York Press.
Cat Characteristics.
Cats rather than belong to a new
master will cling in grief to the old
walls and refuse to be taken away
from them. But if they can follow
their master they will go with him to
the end of the w?rld. One must not
forget that they are extraordinarily
nervous and timid and from timidity
easily lost their heads and run away
they themselves know not whither.
They must be well protected and made
to feel that they are guarded and
cared for. We must not however ex-
pect a cat to obey like a dog writes
Carmen Sjiva. In the Century. It Is a
free and independent little beast a
cousin of the lion a tropical animal
which needs great warmth In order to
become most beautiful and as large
as Its nature permi's.
A Tireless Statesman.
The late Marquis di Kudiui the Ital-
ian statesman led the strenuous life
At 22 he was one of Garibaldi's lieu-
tenants In wrestling Sicily from the
Bourbons having In 'he meantime suc-
ceeded In evading a tapital sentence
which the Neapolitan monarch had
launched against him. Before he was
30 as mayor of Palermo he put down
brigandage suppressed the Mafia and
Impressed the Sicilians with the con-
viction that killing policemen was
the same thing as murder. Through-
out his. life which bag just ended at
three score and ten he was an exem-
plar of that tireless energy which we
are too apt to think is monopolkod by
the Teutonic slock. Boston Tran-
script. Protection In Great Britain
There is an apparent change In sen-
timent toward a protective policy for
Great Britain. In Its adoption it
would seem that flour from the United
States and possibly wheat and corn
ateo would be discriminated agninst
In favor of similar products from
G re" t. Britain's colonies. In such Rn
event we would have to face the
wheat of Canada whose capacity at
piesent is to grow 10000.000 bushels
of surplus wheat and whose acreage

RECALLS LAST
INDIAN RAID
McAlester OUs. Dec. 10. The last
raid of the Comanches is recalled by
J. J. McAlester members of the stale
corporation commission. The depre-
dations of the famous tribe ended In
a grand descent upon the white set-
tlement here twenty-five years ago.
The braves decked in war colors
swooped down upon South .McAlester
and al lthe residents flocked to the
McAlester home a central point.
In the belts of the Comanches were
fresh scalps taken from settlers in
the Canadian river valley. The wom-
en and children were placed insiue
the big bouse and the men prepared to
make a desperate fight. The Indians
took time to hold a pow-wow and
soldiers from a provisional camp on
the Verdigris arrived on the scene and
herded the Indians pack to their camp.
Since fthen they have always been
peaceful.
Just before the raid the govern-
ment had given the Indiuns civilian
outfits. Later the legs to 400 trousers
were found in a big heap near the
scene of the pow-wow. The braves
wore the trunks away with them.

A SERIES OF TE.1 TALKS ON ADVERTISING XT- C
vrltua by Seymour. Eatoa of fJPhlladalphla IN O. J
" Never spring a big newspaper advertisement upon
the public unexpectedly.
Make it an invariable rule to lead up b two or
three nicely graded steps to the important announce-
ment to be made. People take a certain pleasure out
of anticipation. They enjoy their dinner all the more
if they have been anxiously waiting to hear the bell.
But if you open up your morning newspaper and find
blazed forth in big headlines the advertisement of
something starilingly new you are stunned rather than
interested. If however for two or three days you
have been looking for this announcement and each
day getting a little more curious about it you get your-
self keyed up in anticipation and then if the announce-
ment is even better than you had imagined you sur-
render in a body.
Don't pay the United States government two
cents for carrying a letter or a circular worth less than
two cents.
The average advertiser will shave off 15 cents a
thousand on envelopes and a quarter of a cent a pound
on paper and beat down the printer in price so that he
is obliged to use a 30-cent ink and by various other
economies get his material ready for $6 a thousand.
He will then pay the government $20 for carrying his
stingy badly-printed cheap-looking $6 worth of
stuff and pat himself on the back for being economical.
Don't waste gray matter on your competitor. No
matter how entertainingly he lies you go right on
telling the plain blunt kind of truth that-mother-used-to-make.
Truth can be made far more entertaining than
falsehood. Don't be afraid to call a spade a spade.
If the goods are shoddy advertise them as shoddy
give good shoddy measure and charge shoddy prices.
There are tens of thousands of peopte who prefer
shoddy; prefer to eat it. to wear it to be entertained
by it.
If you have news to print about your store sonic
call it advertising don't order twenty-three styles of
type with whirligig borders and a crazy badly-engraved
picture. The mummer on New Year's Day or the
clown at Barnum's may look funny but he couldn't
make good on the road selling gold watches. The
advertiser has an idea that the more fool things he
drags into his copy the more entertaining it is. The
clown has the very same idea.
The great thing in all advertising is not quantity
of circulation but quality of your copy printed in a
newspaper the readers of which are able to buy your
goods. :j . t .

CLERGYMEN RESENT
IDEA OF A MAN MADE GOD
Chicago Dec. 10. Chicago clergy-
men are aroused against Prof. George
B. Foster because of a lecture to Uni-
versity of Chicago divinity students.
"Religion is a human organization
developed In the same manner as mu-
sic language science or morality" de-
clared Prof. Foster.
Bishop Samuel Fallows denounced
his views as unchristian" and said
Prof. Foster "has only voiced the lde-
first expressed by Ingersoll: 'An hon-
est God Is the most noble work of
man.' "
