The President Held Her Band.
A lady who is now visiting friends in
Washington recalls a very amusing ex-
perience which happened when she
was here several years ago and Mn
Cleveland was serving his first term in
the White House. She, with a large
number of others, was at one of the tri
weekly Presidential receptions, and
like some others, when she came to
shake hands with the President got a
trifle rattled and forgot the pretty
speech she intended to deliver. Instead
”she grasped the President’s hand, and,
looking earnestly in his face, said.
“How do you do, Grover?” She is a
pretty woman, and the President is not
averse to looking at a pretty woman,
and even squeezing her hand. He held
on to hcrhand and looked in her face
'which finally became scarlet, although
she could not refrain from laughing, es
pecially as the President was laughing
rather heartily himself. After waiting
a few seconds, which seemed an hour
to the lady, he replied: “I am very well
indeed, and very happy to have met
you. \Vith a courtly bow he released
her hand and she passed on. “W'ha.
on earth was the President saying to
you, and what did you say to him?" in
quired a lady who was just behind, but
she never told—not for a long time.—

"Beats all what blame crazy things a

“Fact. What’s she been at this
time?" asked the other one sympatheti-
cally. '
“Why, when I got home last night
she said:
“ ‘Oh, John, there was one of tliose
old clothes men here today, and I sold
him some of your cast off things.’
“After, dinner I went up and looked
over my wardrobe. I had a winter suit
that I bought late in the season last
year, and that was good for another
winter, sure. She’d sold that. Then
there was a light suit of homespun
hardly worn at all—cost me $40. The
coat was in one closet and the waistcoat
and trousers in another. ._ The 'coat was
gone. Two pairs of trousers, one only
, needed pressing and 'the other some lit-
tle repairs at the bottom—they were
both missing; and a dress waistcoat,
white and soiled a bit—I suppose it
never occurred to her that it could
be cleaned—and two pairs Of shoes; one
needed resoling, the other didn‘t need‘
anything but a shine.
“I asked her what she did with the
money, and she said she had spent it.
She had bought two red geranium
plants and a great, homely yellow mas-
tiif pup, with feet bigger than mine
When I came. down stairs, this morning
she was crying. I asked her what the
matter was. She said the pup had
chewed the tops off both the geraniums
during the night.”

KATE FIELD TALKS ON SUFFRAGE.
Women Should Be Allowed a. Vote “then
They Are Ready fot It.
Kate Field does not believe that
many women desire to vote, although
she believes in their inherent right to
the ballot. She says, in a recent inter-
view on the subject:
“Women are not sufficiently enlight-
ened on the subject to want suflfrage,
and .I am not so sure that it is wise to
give anybody anything unless” they
show a desire sor it. They would be
just like deadheads, who always growl.
They never appreciate what they get,
While those who pay their way sit out
the show, and generally like it. ‘ I be-
lieve,in the justice of woman’s suffrage.
I belicve they have as much right to it
as men. I don’t find that women in ,.
Wyoming and Colorado are a bit dif— '
ferent from women in the States where
they have no suffrage.
“Women want some mental dissipa-
tion. They want to get away from the
humdrum existence they lead. Men
have their clubs and political meetings
and such things to give spice to their
lives, but do not appreciate the narrow-
ness of the circle in which women
move. When women have such se-
rious things as politics to interest them.
they will drop a great deal that is tri-
fling. If anything in the world could
reduce the number of hours'women de-
vote to shopping, what a blessing it
would bel There are no gadders on
earth like American women. If they
gadded to some purpose—if they took
up fine cooking or esthetic dressing, for
instance-it would be difleren .” '
Involuntary Hhart A‘ction.
The action of the heart, lungs and

reason that it is indispensable to life,
and must be carried on under all cir-
cumstances. If a man had to think of

must breathe, or that his food must di-

MARRI! GE IS BEST.
Dr. Felix Adler Says _Marriage is Better
than Single Blessedness. ' ‘
In a recent lecture in Carnegie Music.
Hall, New York, on the, Marriage tie,
Dr. Felix Adler said: .
“I undertake to say that marriage is
better than celibacy. I don’t wish to
reflect on the motives of people who
lead a single life. Some of them are
too contemptible to consider. For in-
stance, those who are too lazy to make
the change in their life. They think
that if they get married they cannot-
live in the style they indulge in while
single. They wait until absolutely sure
of sufficient means to continue the same
style of life. They waste the best years
of their life, and are punished suflic-
iently by their own conduct.
“Every wife can prod on her husband
and stimulate him to greater exertion.
If he is illeterate she can teach him pa-
tience and concentration. if she is liter-
ary, and raise him to greater heights.
If both be literary she can be a pleasant
companion. There is no higher enjoy-
ment than intellectual pursuits. The
wife can share the literary delights of
the literary husband.
“There is a new law of marriage re-
cently advanced by some woman. It is
to substitute the words ‘until love and
respect shall cease’ for ‘until death do
us part.’ What a reign of license would
ensue if this plan were adopted.
The speaker said men and women
were not merely beings susceptible of
pleasure—that is, sensuous and social
pleasure—but were meant to promote
the mental and moral development of
each other. Marriage should turn each
0:: I s defects into excellencies, for mar-
riage is a compact to look squarely at
each other’s faults.
CANADA’S FAIR.
The Dominion's Proposed International
Exhibition.
The Dominion of Canada is to have a
great International Exposition during
the coming summer. The exposition,
which will be officially known as the
British Empire Exposition and Interna-
tional Display of all Nations, will be
opened on May 24 (the Queen s birth-
day) and will be kept open until October
12. It will be Canada’s first great In.
ternational Exposition and will include
exhibits from all parts of the world.
The active spirit in the enterprise is
Mr. Joseph H. Stiles, who was the Brit-
ish Commissioner at the California Mid
winter Fair, and who is known to all-
who have been connected with exposi-
tions as a man of indomitable energy,
pluck and enterprise. These traits have
been prominently brought out in con-
nection with the present enterprise. At
the close of the Midwinter Fair, Mr.
Stiles paid a visit to Canada, and was
at once struck by the magnificent p'os-
sibilities that it afforded for a great ex--
position. ~ He conferred with leading -
citizens and the idea was taken up with
such zeal that the fair was soon assured.
MIGHTYMRAFTS OF LOGS-
l‘hey will Be 527 Feet Long by 52. Feet
Wide, and 30 Feet. Deep.
The Portland Oregonian tells of a I
plan Of Capt. Robertson to tow gigantic
rafts of fine timberto San Francisco,
from some point in Oregon.
It is probable, the article says, that
the lumber will be purchased and the
rafts constructed at or near Stella, as
Mr. Robertson has a $10,000 plant at,
that point for this work, which would
cost considerable to transport to Puget
Sound.
Though they intend to arrange for
felling the trees at once, the rafts will
not be commenced until some time in
March. It will require a little over
four months to construct the three.
These three rafts will be of a uniform
size, vis., 527 feet long, 5.2 feet wide, 30
feet deep, and drawing 20 feet of water
when floated, and will contain some
5, 000, 000 superficial feet of lumber each,
board measure. The lumber shipped,
which includes piling and spar timber.
saw logs and long timber of every de
scription, will be packed in a. cradle
constructed for the purpose.
The raft. when ready to be towed,
will resemble a cigar in shape, flattened
on the upper side, and tapering to a
point at each end. When the logs are
placed in the cradle, a large tow chain
will be run through the centre of the
raft. To this will be connected other
chains running herring-bone fashion
every 12 feet, fastened to other chains
surrounding and binding the logs to-
gether the same distance apart. The
manner of constructing these rafts is
most- ingenious, and was patented by
the inventor, Captain Robertson, some
years ago. *
A Real Bottomless Pit,
The celebrated “bottomless abyss” of
France is situated in- the province of
Vaucluse, and is considered one of the
most interesting geological wonders in
the world. It is called the Abyss of
Jean Nauveah, and has been known for
cerlturies. It is from three to twelve
feet in diameter and practically bottom-
less. It is supposed to be the vent of an
ancient geyser.
