Science In Business.
In n recent Issuo of the journal of
tho British Society of Arts some strik-
ing examples of tho effect of the uro
of science In German factories are
given. In 1840 154000 tons of beet
root were crushed from which 8-
000 tons of raw sugar wero produced
about G 1-2 per cont. In 18C0 1500-
000 tons wero treated nnd produced
128000 tons of sugar 8 per cent.
Last year 12000000 tons wero crush-
ed nnd yielded 1500000 tons ot raw
sugar 13 per cent. This Increase of
quantity ns well as percentage of
product ts duo entirely to scientific
troatment. Tho production ot dry
colors chemicals nnd dyes In Ger-
many shows a corresponding Increase
In production and dlvldend-pnylug ca-
pacity which ts duo to tho constnnt
maintenance of laboratories cr trained
scientists whoso only purpose Is to
Improve and cheapen proteases.

A Dreamer.
I keep a-sayln' to myself when sum-

"I'd llko tn down yonder where th
honeysuckle urow!
I'd like to find tho meadows with the
daisies cool an' deep;
An' have the winds an' whlppoorwllls
to villi; my soul to sleep!"
An' yet. when I was with 'em In the
shadows of the pines
Whero th hummln' bird was browsln'
In the mornlu' Klory vines
I whs evermore a-anyln' In tho lone-
some day and night;
"I'd like to bo up yonder where the city
shines so bright!"
It's still tho same old feelln' tho rest-
lessness that seems
To keep the soul a-movln' for to reallzt
Its dreumsl

highest hill.
We're lonRin' for the valley an' we're
otd-time dreamers still.
Frank L. Stunton in Atlanta Constitu-
tion. Compliment to Beaconsfield.
In connection with the action of Sec-
retary Hay in tho matter of tho Jews
of Houmanla it may be pointed out
that it was mainly owing to th Influ
once of Lord Heaconsfleld that the
trcnty of Herlln was mailo to Include
stipulations In tholr favor. It was
Hoaconsfield's skillful diplomacy Id
favor of tho Jews which was upper
most In tho mind of Blnmurck when
nt ono of his "parliamentary soirees"'
ho was asked by ono of hln guests
whom ho deemed to ho tho ablest plen-
ipotentiary at tho conrress of Herlln
"Well" roplied th chancellor "1
don't enre to say who was tho ablest
but I am qulto certain that tho second
ablest was Lord Beaconstleld."

Cut in Mannish Fashion
-tWSa
Unreasonable Reproach of Garments of New
Woman How Her Sisters in Many Lands
Copy Their Brothers' Clothes.
On of the pet reproaches made
against tNr new woman Is that In her
unseemly longing to stand upon the
same footing as her aforetime lord
and maatbr she Invented the fashion
3f wearing garments of a mannish
-ut.
This Is most unjust and sho may
readily bo proved guiltless of the
-harge by a trifling Investigation of
the fashions tit ancient times and of
-ouservatlvo countries whero tho poor
things aro us uncmanclpated ns pos-
alble ns their foremothcrs of a thou-
sand years ago.
The Chinese lady as every traveler
testifies Is ono of the most modest
retiring and conventional of creatures
yet sho wears clothes almost exactly
like those of hor husband nnd broth-
ers. Indeed In China trousers are
considered much moro proper ns tcml-
nine garmonts than Bklrts.
Tho Turkish woman's dress Is Iden-
tical with that ot tho husband who
keeps hor so carefully shut away from
all new-fangled notions nnd the Es-
quimau woman clothes her little fat
legs in tight sealskin breeches fin-
ished off with smart fur-topped boots.
The happy womnn of Slam who
has never been obliged to go In for
woman's rights having always been
as free as air and the equal of any
man of hor acquaintance wears llko
every man In the kingdom a square
of cotton or silk curiously adjusted
about the legs and fastened by tuck-
ing two ot the ends through at tho
waist In what travelers describe as a
perilously insecuro manner.
Looking back to the good old times
to which those who disapprove of the
new woman are so fond of referring
very early In the world's history can
bo found Instances of women adopt-
ing mannish clothes wlien they wero
suitable and convenient.
Tho Greeks with their hunting god-
The Turkish and Chinese Women.
dess their Amazons and their swift
Atnlantas In the athletic games havo
shown us how beautiful woman can
be In tho short tunic worn by the
youths. Hut no doubt even then old
folks mentioned a prehistoric time
when girls wcro not so bold.
Probably tho most notablo caso In
point Is that of the justly celebrated
Maid of Orleans who llko a sensible
woman when she found herself In-a
situation whero men's clothes wcro
not only convenient but necessary
calmly wore them beioro all the world
and was undoubtedly tho secret nvy
and admiration of the quaintly colffed
and frocked dnmscls of the court.
The most Interesting illustration of
nil. and ono over which It is n pleas-
ure to linger Is that lovely plaintive
company the delight of poets play-
wrights nnd novelists the maidens
who through the evil chances of ven-
geance war and especially of love
wero driven to adopt tho disguiso of
masculine garments In order to zan-
der forth Into the wido world to seek
a rofugo or to follow the fortunes of
a cruel or distressed lover.
One can't help wondering In theso
prosaic times why every one was 'bo
easily taken In as to their sex and If
thoy borrowed their clothes from a
younger brother or the faithful page
or If with the eternally fcmlnlno
yearning for a perfect fit they went
secretly to the tailor and had the most
becoming suit possible mndo to order
for the Journoy.
Small masculine touches arc to be
found In each succeeding fashion nnd
no doubt wero considered oxtremely
smart and daring by tho ladles wno

OLD SADLER'S WELLS THEATER.
Famous Playhouse Has Taken on New
Lease of Life.
Many a regretful paragraph has
been written lately over Ui) supposed
approaching demolition of Sadler's
Veils theater. The sentiment how-
ever seems to havo been wasted for
Sadler's Wells theater brought up to
modern requirements by an expendi-
ture of several thousands has just
been reopened. Tho theater com-
menced as a music house as far back
as 1C83 and for more than a century
the place was one of the chief resorts
of fashion royalty Itself patronizing
tho chalybeate spring discovered by
tho owner. In the late eighteenth
and early nineteenth centuries many
famous actors walked the boards at
Sadler's Wells. The Grlmaldls father
and son appeared there; Braham the
famous tenor sang there In his youth;
Edmund Kean Charles and Thomas
Dlhdln and Helzont were nil connected
with the theater; nnd in 1832 came
T. P. Cooke as the original William
In "Black Ey'd Susan." In 1846 Sam-
uel Phelps resolved to produco all
Shakespeare's plays at Sadler's Wells
and for many years Snakcspcare hold
the stage there. Thirty of tho plays
were actually produced and occupied
4000 nights; "Hamlet" ran for 400
Then enmo a time of closed doors
until In 1879 the house was rebuilt and
opened by Miss Bateman. It has had
many vicissitudes stneo then and
Sadler Wells Theater
now seems to be In a fair way to
fresh lease of life.
The Enjoyment of Humor.
It may do said of humor as Mark
Twain in conversation once said oi
bacon that It would Improve the flavoi
of an angol. Thoso who enjoy humoi
certainly enjoy it very much; Indeed
It would not bo strange If half thf
world should consider tho extravagant
praise of humor by the other half a
In very poor taste since It Is acknowl
edged by him who laughs as by hire
who refrains that the lack of thti
quality of mind (or shall we say ol
mind and body?) may consist with
the most ndmlrnble qualities of charac
ter says tho Century. There ts a see
oud count in tho indlctmont; that
praise of humor implies in tho pralsei
the conceit of possessing It. However
as no one wnnting In humor evei
-raised it tho latter consideration
ay ho neglocted.
Hand-Shaking Forbidden.
A new club ts being organized at
the town of Kazan under the name ol
"Do Not Shake Hands." The orlglna
tor Is one of tho most prominent loca.
bnrrlsters. On meeting each other tin
members of this club are not to shake
hands but make obeisance. Before
ladles the obeisance Is to be. moro rev
crent and tho bow very deep. If a
handsomo lady extends her hand the
club member Is to touch It gently with
his lips.

One man who believes that busi-

among the ofllclals of the American
Bicycle company. "The cessation of
tdvertlslng killed the bicycle busi-
ness and the way to revive it Is to
resume that same important matter''
jays Col. Pope. In one year the lattei
expended $500000 In this sort of pub-
licity. In 1877 Col. Pope organized
tho Pope Manufacturing company
which started a year later with an
output of fifty wheels. Now the com-
pany employs a capital of upwnrd ol
