The "Advanced" Woman.
Most women, and I am afraid a good
many mem, too, imap-Lie that book
learning is education.
Bays the countess of Desart in. the Na
tional Review. It never strikes tliem
tha.t if it were so our book worms would
be the great leaders of humanity. They
see games playing a great |Kirtin boys'
schools, and they immediately wish
these games introduced into girls'
schools. They fancy that if only the
girl could be taught as lire boy is taught
slie would become, in spite of her dress,
a man. This sounds a red actio nd ab
surd um, but it is not, in plain language,
to be understood of the people, the
meaning of the clamor for girls'cricket
and football, for a university education
for girls, for the opening of all careers
and ail professions to girls? Because
boys come and go alone, and it is good
for them to learn to fend for themselves, 1
therefore chaperons for girls should be ,
abolished. Because men in knicker- i
bookers con travel ever so much faster
without fatigue on their bicycles than
women, therefore women should be
made tio wear divided skirts, and they ,
will be able to go as far and as fast as
men. Could anything be mo-re ;
unconnected, more illogical than
this set of propositions? Yeit they ;
are warmly and strenuously advocated
by women who take themselves most
seriously. If you wish to realize fully ;
the maze in which the "advanced" wom
an has lost herself, tiakte her views about
marriage. Listen to her argument that
because, according to her ideas, the j
"bargain," as she will probably call it,
lias been too much in flavor of the bride
groom; therefore in future it should
be a great deal too much in favor of
the bride. The contract on which the
sanctity of the family and the wel
fare of the rising generation mainly de
pends, she thinks, should be one to be
repudiated at will, for any ca.price, any
whim. Above all, her old sphere, the
home, is far too lowly, too humble, for
nnj'one with the slightest talent to be
wasted on it. It should be looked upon j
as the last resource, the final refuge
of the poor-splriited, the mentally iliesti- j
tute.
A recent letter from Dawson in the
Alaska Miner says: "A funny thing oc- j
curved the other night. A fellow fell
out with liis girl, and they were eating
at different tables in the restaurant.
She told the waiter she wanted two
eggs for her breakfast. Be overheard
it and bought all the eggs in town, four
cases, at one dollar an egg." If that
girl should make up with that mean
fellow sin would in all probability have
to go short on eggs the balance of her
days.

cant<-loupy was cut at George W. j
Smith's farm, and that eight people, i

THE KING OF CYCLISTS.
Wonderful Record Established by i
Little Jimmy Michael.

1 King of cyclists is little Jimmy '
Michael. Most marvelous is his record. '
Time itself was outstripped by the j
Miniature Welsh boy at Willow Grove
' i rack, Philadelphia. Paced by a sex- '
:et and a quad, the youngster reeled i
•ill a mile in 1:30 and thereby reduced
ill former world's records for the dis
lance.
It is true that a Londoner, I. W.
Stocks, negotiated a mile at the Crystal
palace in 1:35 2-5, but he was guided
over the route by an electric motor and,
j of course, his feat cannot properly be j
j reckoned among genuine cycling per- i
formances. Should it be, Michael's deed |
; s'tauds alone in America at any rule.
Cyclists have been expecting another
notch to be clipped off the mile record
and the majority of them looked to
Michael to do it. .•teadily the tiny for
eigner has been Improving since he first j
sprang into fame in Europe early last
year.
Now the question is, will Michael <
prove himself a greater racer than he i
! is now? Is he good, rash though the i
1 speculation may be, for 1:30? Can he ,
do that on n circular track, and if he j
can, how fast can he travel on a straight
away?
Chicago wheelmen have been talking ;
of little else than the Welshman's bril
liant performances. Many of them are
bold enough to predict that he will re
duce still more the record and approxi- •
mate,, if not reach, the 1:30 mark.
Charlie Root, Fred Gerlacb and Jim ;
Levey are leaders in cycledom and their
opinions favored the idea tluit Michael j
had by no means reached his limit.
For years Lt has been the chief aim j
of racing cyclers to attack the mile
record. There have been all sorts of \
them, records for Hying and standing I
starts, paced and unpaced, forwardand
backward, professional and amateur,
those of the old class A and class B men,
ind so on. Now, the standard mile has
generally come to be looked upon as

Record.
one made under the same conditions a •
that of Michael—flying start, paced by
| cycling machines without other aid.

Michael can soon be claimed by Uhi
( cago for her own. He has decided to
1 go to that city and make it his future
: home. He is a wee bit of a boy- half
j inch more than five feet high. Lt is
33y s inches around his chest and it can
be expanded only l/ 8 inches more. His
legs are 30% inches in length, his arms i
17, his forearm 8%, his biceps 8%. His |
weight is 101 pounds. Jle is 21 years ot
age.
The wonder was born in Wales j
Credit for first "finding" him is given j
to the noted English cycle trainer, (
Warburton. Tom Eck discovered him j
la'ter and induced him to coine to tin- j
, United Stales in the latter par; .. lSur. I
Before that time he won a big lot of j
important races, besides landing nttniei - j
ous records for various European conn- i
tries. Among his victims on the path !
were Jacqueiin and Riviere, Lesna. ;
Linton, Buret, Gerger, Opel, Gougoh/. .
! and Uireny.
! Michael appeared in Chicago in tl. I
early part of October, 1890. It was
ut the dedication of the Garfield pail; i
track, October 2. The live-mile record
on that occasion fell to his lot, and for i
! days afterward he was feted us the j
idol of Chicagonns.

SOME RECENT INVENTIONS.
In a recently patented automatic
• change maker the coin is placed in
tubes of the proper size, fitted with
' sliding plates at the bottom which are
; operated by levers to push the bottom
I coin out when the lever is pressed.
! To catch moles as the}' run through
the underground passages they have
I dug,-a new trap has a row of sharp
lines attached to a sliding rod to drop
! and pin the rodent fast as soon as the
trigger entering the hole is disturbed. j
Shotguns can be changed into rifles
by an auxiliary which slides inside the
shot barrel and is fitted with a shell
ejector, the rear of the inner barrel
being of the same shape as the shot
cartridge and carrying a flange so it
fits tightly.
in a new propelling device for bi- j
■ cycles two cylinder air pumps are at- |
l lacked to tihe head of the machine to
be operated by raising and lowering
the handlebars. A compressed-air mo
tor is geared to the driving sprocket
wheel to run the machine.
A safety pocket, which can be used in
; any garment, is provided on one side of
i its mouth with a flat spring and on
j the other side with a spiral spring,
| which rests'on an elastic strip and
presses tightly against the flat spring
; to keep tike pocket closed.
ENTERTAINING BREVITIES.
There are 22 allusions in the Bible j
; to the east wind, 19 of them being of a
disparaging character,
i The remarkable echo at Eagle's Nest,
on the banks of the Killnrney, Ireland,
repeats a bugle call 109 times, each clear
and distinct.
The island of MaLtia has a language of
its own, derived from the Carthaginian
and Arabian tongues. The nobility of
the island speak Italian.
The number of sheep in the world is
estimated to amount to 550,000,000. Of
this number between one-third and one
half are believed to be merinos.
A member of the British parliament
cannot resign.* When he wishes to re
tire he accepts the stewardship of the
Chiltern hundreds, a nominal office in
the gift of the crown and paying a
salary of 20 shillings a year. No mem
ber of parliament can remain in his
sent after accepting a government ap
pointment other than a cabinet posi
tion, and this fiction of the stewardship
has thus been perpetuated for at least
GOO years.
ABOUT THE FARM AND HOME.
When cream is extremely rich it
can be whipped more easily if a little
milk is added to it. It will also whip
more easily if it is well chilled.
When ink is spilled upon linen try
dipping the damaged material in pure
incited tallow. The hot tallow seems to
absorb the ink, and, after washing, the
stain will be found to have disap
peared.
When the fingers are stained in peel
ing fruits, preparing green walnuts or
in similar ways, dip them in a strong ten,
rubbing them well with a nail brush and
afterward wash them with warm water
and the stains will disappear.
Grasses are always useful for table
decoration. In order to have them "in
stock," as It were, the heads should be
picked just before they are ripe and
dried in the shade. They will then keep
well without dropping the seeds.
ABOUT WOMEN AND MUSIC.
' Bach was very happy with his first
j wife, and her influence in his music is
[ marked. Beethoven's music was in
many eas*** directly inspired by women.
Mozart.Sphor and Weber werestrong-
I ly influenced in their compositions by
i their wives. Mendelssohn received his
, strongest influence from his sister
! Fanny, whose compositions reflect the
; creative mind of her brother. Wagner's
| sceoud wife exerted a marked influence
| on his writings.
' The number of women composers is
| very small, and the generally accented
! reason for this is that women lack the
j 'Tenthe quality. As executants Vhov

MONUMENT TO CRISP.
R9u>l>le Slinff DiaftcnUMl to the Memory
f the l'ts-B|enker.
The first monument to the memory
of the late Charles Frederick Crisp, ex
speaker of the house of representatives
and United States senator-elect, was
erected recently in the center of the
beautiful family plot in Onk Grove ceme
tery. Americus, Ga. It is one of the sim
plest shafts that mark the resting places
of the nation's greatest men, but it is
in thorough keeping with the life of
him whose memory it commemorates.
It is no-t elaborate or highly costly,
THE CRTSP MONUMENT.
(Recently Erected In Oak Grove Cemetery,
Americus, On.)
but simply a memorial of a wife's de
votion and children's love. The mon
ument is 17 feet high and is made of
Italian marble. The east side bears the
inscription: "Husband and Father."
On the west side are the words:
"Charles Frederick Crisp, born in Shef
field. England, .January 29, 1845. died in
Atlanta, Ga., October 23, 1896." The
north side bears the inscription:
"Speaker of the House of Representa
tives of the United States, Fifty-sec
ond and Fifty-third Congress." Cut in
large letters on the base of the stone
is the one word, "Crisp."
This monument was erected by the
immediate family of the dead states
man. It is handsomely designed and
beautiful in its modesty and simplicity.
The life of Charles Frederick Crisp was
simple to the degree that It was free
from formalities and conventionalities,
and the monument that stands at the
head of his grave is intended to im
press that fact upon the stranger who
[ may be led by its ever-reminding pres
j ence to recall the life and works of the
distinguished dead. The stone was
placed in position without any formal
exercises on the part of the people,
though hundreds flocked to the grave
and watched the unveiling with un
covered heads.

nursery attachment will carry a matron
or nurse, who will be selected with a
special reference to her ability to amuse
nid care for her little charges, and she
will have at her command supplies of
milk, cookies and other edibles and
drinkables dear to the infantile heart.
She will'also have charge of a medicine

other adjunct of the traveling nursery
and it will contain everything, from

tales.
An Atmospheric Pnrndoi.
On the island of Sakhalin, off the east
coast of Siberia, the cold winds and sea
currents which circulate around it seem
io have reversed the ordinary course of
nature respecting the arrangement cf
temperature. The air on high land and
inountafas is usually coldest, while that
near the sea level is warmest. In Sak
halin the coldest air is found near the
-en. and there the plants are of an arctic
character, while in the lofty interior
subtropical plants flourish on the
heights in the mild climate.
