Woman.
In everything worth while, and in a
great many thingf not worth while,
there is a woman. Ever since Eve
made her debut in the Garden of Eden,
smiling sweetly At Adam, her golden
hair banging dow% her back in glo-
rious profusion,' the apples on her
cheeks vieing with the apples on the
tree of theknowlege of good and evil,
the exquisite symmetry of her rounded
body, hidden from Adam only by a
fig leaf, woman has been man’s guide,
bis guardian angel and his companion
in virtue as well as his comrade in
doing those things that are spoken of
only in whispers in the night. If the
woman a man associates with is pure
and sweet and clean of heart, the man
will be like onto her. Woman is the
axis around which the world revolves.
Upon the spotlessness of her soul de-
pends the future of the generations
yet to come. She is either a lily, with
a drop of dew frrsh from heaven
nestling in her bean, a ministering
angel, consoling, soothing, directing
man to higher or nobler aspirations,
or she is a demon, dragging him to
perdition.—Cleburne Enterprise.

A CURIOUS CHIMNEY.
One In Wales Two Miles High With a
Brook Running Through It.
Who ever heard of a chimney two
miles high with a brook running
through it? Yet such a chimney exists
iu copnection with the copper works
at Cwmavon, near Aberavon, in Gla-
morganshire, south Wales. This Is how
it came to be built:
About sixtj* jears ago the copper
smoke from these works was the
plague of the neighboring countryside.
It settled upon and destroyed the
grass for twenty miles round, while
the sulphur and arsenic in the fumes
affected the hoofs of cattle, causing
gangrene. The owners of the works
tried all sorts of devices to remedy the
trouble, but in vain. Finally Robert
Brenton. who was afterward a suc-
ressful railway engineer in India, solv-
ed the problem.
The copper works are at the foot of
a steep hill. Mr. Brenton constructed
a flue, or chimney, running continu-
ously from tlie base to about a hun-
dred feet above the summit, following
the natural slope of the ground. The
brick wldch lined it and of which it
was largely constructed was burned
close by. A small spring gushing out
near the summit of the hill was turned
into the chimney and allowed to flow
through almost its entire length to
condense the smoke. Once a year it is
swept out and about a ton of precipi-
tated copper obtained. Its top can be
seen for between forty and fifty miles.

FRENCH MARRIAGES.
All Probable Future Events Arranged
For In Advance.
On the appointed evening 1 arrived
at the given time, and after an ex-
cellent dinner, at which all members
of both families were present, we re-
paired to the great drawing room,
where the chairs had been arranged in
a semicircle about two small, round
tables. Presently two grave old gen-
tlemen, the family notaries, Who had
not been seen to smile during the
whole dinner, took their seats in front
of the tables, and when * we were all
assembled the elder commenced to
read a long memoir, which he an-
nounced he had compiled with the help
of his colleague. Then, to my utter
amazement, he began to name all the
possessions of the future bride and
bridegroom—so many bonds and mort-
gages, so many houses, farms, wood-
lands, prairies, articles of personal
adornment, furniture and Jewels: the
ways in which they might be used or
disposed of, what would happen in
case no children were born of the
marriage, in case erf death of one or
the other of the parties. In fact, all
the misfortunes, all the most terrible
and saddest events, had been foreseen,
and cold chills began running down
my back as I heard each new case
mentioned. I was Indignant. I posi-
tively revolted. Why were miserable
questions of business allowed 4o fore-
shadow the charming union of these
two young people, who had known and
loved each other since childhood and
whose true and pure affection was in-
nocent of all monetary interests? Gould
not all have been spared them?
The next day I frankly opened my
heart to Jeanne and her mother, ex-
plaining the sensations I had experi-
enced the previous evening and say-
ing that in my country, when two per-
sons were about to marry, as long as
there was love on both sides and the
man was able to support his wife all
.such questions were usually left undis-
cussed.
They both listened to me somewhat
astonished, and then Mine, de R-,
whose great good sense has always
convinced me, replied smilingly:
“But, my dear, for us marriage
not only the joining of two young and
loving hearts. We go further and con-
sider the generations to come, the
founding of a new family—a home.
As every one knows, the first years
are often the most difficult, and we
therefore take precautions to smooth
the paths of our children by settling
in their presenpe all business matters,
once and forever, and arranging things
so that the new life may develop un-
der the best of circumstances.”—Scrib-
ner’s Magazine.
A Bavarian Apple Pie.
One of the most delicious ways to
use apples in cookery is in a Bavarian
pie: Line a deep dish with pastry! Fill
it with breadcrumbs and bake it until
the pastry is done. Then remove the
crumbs and fill the1 cavity with chop-
ped apples and nuts and some stoned
raisins. Sweeten with sugar and flavor
with nutmeg and cinnamon. Sprinkle
with cake crumbs and bake till it is
brown on top and the fruit within Is
thoroughly cooked. Spread over the
top a lemon flavored-meringue and let
it become a light brown in the oven.
Set the pie away to cool before, serv-
ing.—New York Tribune.

The Next Best.

for a month.”
“Times are slow for me, mjr dear.
Better go in for literature and pretend
to be superior to the fashions.”—Kan-
sas City Journal.
Her Discovery.
Husband—Think of it! Here is a
hairpin I have found in the soup! Wife
— Yes? Now I know where our things
have gone. A shoe horn disappeared

Just as Well.
“Statistics show that Japan has two
►arthquakes a day.”
“Gee, a man might as well be mar-
ried as to live in Japan!”—Houston
i*ost.
a famous Chinese proverb says, “Ev-
erj’thing is easy at first.”
Doubtful Compliments.
The colonel who, taking his leave at
a garden party, inquires, “Have I had
the pleasure of saying g^odby to you.
Miss Marj'?” the hostess sweetly as-
suring a distinguished pianist who has
risen abruptly from the instrument
with a sarcastic protest lest he should
disturb the conversation that he does
not do so at all; the young man who,
on being told that a possible rival had
taken the lady who is speaking in to
dinner the previous evening, declares
that “that’s all he’s .fit for”—these fire
decided instances of this class of bad
compliment, while for a well meant but
lukewarm one poor Newman Noggs’
reply to the collector’s 'query respect-
ing the Kenwlgs’ new baby, that It
wasn’t a very nasty one, may( be cited.
