A medical man recently published a
letter In which he statod that he had
been called in by several married la
dles, who said they suffered from a pe
culiarly irritable kind of headache
which had recently begun to trouble
them. The husbands of nearly all of
them told him privately that they had
never found their wives so disagreea

their bats on. When thecorrespondent
in question asked to see these hats,
be found them very much alike. large

"Baby teas" have now taken the
place of the book parties of last year.
The jtuesta are asked to bring photo
gAphs of themselves, taken when they
were babies, or, at any rate, before
they were six years old. The hostess
receives all the portraita, numbers
them, and arranges them all together.
Each guest Is provided with a num
bered list They are allowed some lft
U time to study tbe photographs, and
they write down on their lints tins
names of tin; people they believe the
picture to represent. The most tor
rect list wins the prize.
Quite the latest Idea la to have a
rnce book, Instead of the now tilil
inshloned allium. In which one's
fi lends were worried to do something,
a well hound sketch book Is chosen.

so. Tho collection when finished Is

Lord Hrn-vey, presiding recently at.
a meeting of the South African K-pnn-don

future of that colony would depend
on Its colonization by trained nml ca

Foibles of Pome Women.
The woman lawyer gazed reflect
ively upon the prospectus of the wom
an's law class, "Of course, it Is very
nice," said she, 'and I thoroughly ap
prove of women who have property
familiarizing themselves with tho law,
either for practcal business purposes
or for tho administration of trust es
tates or for Its value In general cultui'n
nnd ns a higher study for mental de
velopment. Uut It Is Just a llttlo try
ing, after you have been slaving to
get ready for your exams, to have a
friend meet you and say: "Why, I
saw the list of graduates In your class
the other day and your name wasn't
r.mong them. What was tho matter?
l'cople can't seem to understand that
tho woman's law class Is not tho regu
lar law class of the unvcrslty at all
nnd that membership In It does not
make a woman a lawyer or fit her to
pass the examinations for entrance to
the bar. It Is simply a form of univer
sity extension. But because the wom
en who attend It are rich society wom
en a great deal of attention Is paid to
their commencement day, while com
paratively none at all Is given to that
of the regular class, In which, per
haps, there are women who have
pushed their way to tho beginning of
a legal career or poor boys from the
East sido whose parents were peasants.
"Ii. Is a curious thing," she contin
ued, "that there are some rich women
who are not content with social tri
umphs. They want also to grasp the
bard enrned honors of the professional
woman. I havo noticed that women's
pres. clubs have very few active news
paper women In them. Real newspa
per women are usually too busy for
rluh life. There is a percentage of
women everywhere who are attracted
by a certain glamour that Beems to
hang about that profession. Just as
there are others who are attracted by
the theatrical atmosphere They p.ish
their way by hook or crook Into tho
press clubs, and aa they usually have
more time and money than do tho writ
ers, they go to conventions and kindly
represent tho real press women, who
are hard at work at home.
"I knew ono woman who was an as
sociate member of a woman's press
club in a western city. She spent a
f.oml deal of her time in the east and
when national or international con
ventions were held she would be. on
and to represent the club as a dele
gate, although she never wrote an ar
ticle In her life and never could. She
liked to be in the press club atmos
phere, and I suppose it did not hurt
any one. There was anotherwho had
a brother In the railroad business. She
traveled a great deal on passes and
would write articles to her home paper
for the pleasure of seeing her name In
print Of course, when the conventions
occurred she could always go, aa her
transportation cost her nothing. At
the convention city she would be spok
en of as 'Miss So-and-So, tbe bright
young newspaper woman,' or 'Miss So-and-So,
the well known journalist,' and
co on. When sho went to distant cities
the invariably visited their press club,
proudly wearing the badge of her hom
club. This class of women dearly lovo
to res 4 such honors as come her way
wlt)k.Jt doing any of the hard wor:
to entitle her - to them." Now York

THE DICCEST L0B3TER fOUND.
Bring Built nn the) Maine Condi to IfnM
Haifa Million C'riialnrenne.
At South n'.ueblll, Me., on tbe Han
rock Count? const. Is being construct
ed the largest, lobster pound In the
world, Its capacity being pal limited nt
ilKl.fMK) lobsters. The lobster fisheries
of Mnlne have long been one of the
most Important Industries of the Plate,
the catch being valued nt millions of
dollars nnnunllv. The fishermen long
ago renll.cd Hint by holding the lob
sters until the "off" Fcnson of the yenr
they could get higher prices thnn If
the whole catch were marketed ns fast
as taken.
Tor this purpose the? constructed
pounds or enclosures In which to con
fine the fish. There was much risk In
this, however, for storms frequently
wrecked the smnll pounds built, by
Individual fishermen with limited
means, nnd thus many a man lost bis
entire season's catch. t5rnitunlly the
business of pounding lobsters passed
Into the bands of men of large mean-,
who In recent yenrs have purchased
the catch of the llsbermeii nnd "yard
ed" the lobsters In vast number In
pounds of great eapnclty, strongly con
structed, selling when (lie price Is
lileh.
The new pound nt South lllncliill Is
n natural salt-water basin, formerly
the pond of one of the nld-fn binned
tide sawmills which have now disap
peared from the Maine const. The
basin Is cniinceled with l:lueh!U Lay
by n narrow si rait, und fills nml emp
ties nt every tide. To convert tho
pond Into n lobster pound It was sim
ply necessary to construct gales at the
outlet so Hint the wntr covld be held
or lowered at will. Tbe pound Is on a
steamboat route, and lobster Inl-eii
one day may be landed in Huston on

The Newly Discovered flrnt.
The coloration of the Oknpl Is quite
extraordinary. Its checks and Jaws
me yellowish white, contrasting
abruptly Willi the dark-colored neck.
The forehead Is n deep red chestnut;
the large, broad cars are of the g".mo
tint, fringed, however, with Jet Mack.
The forehead ranges between vinous
rod nnd black In tint and n black linn
follows the bridge of the nose dowu
to the nostrils. The muzzle Is sepia
colored, but there Is ft faint rim or
mustache of reddish-yellow hair round
the upper lip. The neck, shoulders,
barrel, and back range In tone from
sepla nnd jet black to rich vinous red.
The belly Is blackish, except just un
der the knees. The tail Is blight
chestnut red, with a smnll blnck tuft.
The bind quarters, hind and fore legs,
are either snow white or pale cream
color, touched hero nnd there with
orange. They are boldly ninrked, how
ever, with piirple-blnck stripe and
splodges, which give that zebralike
nppenrnnee to tbe limbs of the oknpl,
that caused the first Imperfect account
of It to indicate the discovery of u
new striped horse. Tbe soft parts
of tbe animal being ns yet unknown.
It ennnot be stated positively that tho
okapl possesses a prehensile tongue,
like the glraffe. lmt tho long and flexi
ble lips would seem to ntonp for tbe
very weak front teeth. It Is probably
by tho lips and tongue that the crcn
turo gathers the leaves on which It
feeds, for, according to tho accounts
of tho nntlves, it lives entirely on foil
ngo uud small twigs. Like all rum!
nauts except the camel, it has no front
te.eth In tbe upper jaw. Tho molars
are very nine! like, those of tho
giraffe. Sir llarry II. Johnston, In Mc
Clurc's.
Bride Couldn't Fool One Women,
A young ninrried couple are always
Interesting, ch'vfly beennse they try to
conceal tho fait that they nro young
pnd married, tienerully they fool their
nicn acquaintances, but they seldom
deceive a clever woman.
A bride nnd groom tried the old
trick recently nt u summer resort, but
they met a woman who was wiser
thnn they.
This woinnu nnd the bride were chat
ting on the hotel vernuda when tho
former suddenly asked:
"How long have you been married?"
"Three years," promptly replied tho
bride.'
Tlio clever woman looked at tho
bride's left hand.
"How is It. then," sho said, "that
you wear a ring the design of which
Is barely a year old?"
Of course that settled it. and the
next clay everybody congratulated tho
young couple on their reeeut mar
I'loge. New York Mull aud Ex-ness,
