The Sub- Ject Scientifically Considered and Com- pared Wlth Man‘s Accomplishments in the Use of Pins and Needles. There exists a curious lack of sym- pathy between woman and the ham- mer. The nature and the functions of" the hammer have never been grasped by the fair sex. Occasionally, says Pearson’s Weekly, a woman is found who can drive simple and easy tacks with a common tack hammer, but such a woman is even rarer than a man who knows what a gusset is, and can insert one into the neck of a shirt. The uniformity with which the woman who uses a hammer smashes her fin- gers. is not due, as superficial obser- vers imagine, to her inability to guide the hammer by her eye. It would be strange, indeed, if it were, for the eye of a woman is so constantly and thoroughly cultivated, with the help of 3. looking glass, that it is far more accurate than the masculine eye. This is demonstrated by a simple and pleasing experiment. Let a man try to insert a pin into his collar while looking into a mirror, which, of course reverses the apparent position of both pin and hand. He will find that the pin refuses to enter anything except his finger, and that he cannot place the point of it within half an inch of the position in which he desires to place it. Now let a. woman sent her- self before the same mirror with a handful of hairpins. She will stick every one of them in her back hair, where they will do the most good, without an instant's hesitation. Noth- ing could prove more clearly than does this experiment the superior accuracy of the feminine eye. Woman hits her fingers because of her entire lack of confidence in, and sympathy with, the hammer. She is afraid to strike a heavy blow that would force the nail or tack firmly into its place, so she strikes timorously and tentatively. The result is that the nail - WHERE‘WOMAN FAILS ' requires to be held upright between her thumb and finger, and in that po- sition they are exposed to the great- est danger. Prof. Huxley estimates that out of every five blows struck by a woman, two full on the nail and three on the. fingers. From these facts it has been ably argued by another eminent philosopher and friend of women that were she to aim her blows directly at her fingers the latter would be hit only twice out of five blows, and the nail would be hit three times. There is much force in this argument, but it is impossible -to inr‘."ce a woman to boldly aim at her i--.:crs, and those to whom the suggvsjon has been made have in- varially rejected it with a scornful and irrelevant reference to fiddle- sticks. ' As there exists this want of mutual understanding between woman and the hammer it is not strange that she should prefer almost anything to the hammer as an instrument for driving nails. There prevails a curious female delusion to the effect that nails can be driven with a hair brush. If a tack is to be driven into the wall of a bed room, or a hook to be nailed to the wall of a cupboard, a woman will in- variably try to do the work with her or preferably her husband’s—hair brush. It must he confessed that the hair brush when thus used is a safe tool. It seldom if ever bruises the fin- gers, but it is utterly inefficient. Eith- er it breaks at the third blow or it flattens the nail sideways into the plaster. In either case the work is a failure, and the woman finds no re- fuge from disappointment, marred walls, and broken brushes except in tears. ~ There have been women who have tried to drive nails with articles of glass or china, such as hand mirrors or heavy coffee cups. The futility of such eflorts is, however, so quickly demonstrated that even before the fragments of china and glass have been picked up the fair nail driver makes up her mind that hammers must be made of sterner stuff. Brass candlesticks have become of late years comparatively scarce, but wherever they exist they are uniformly regarded by women as admirable substitutes for the hammer. Razor strops, gum bottles, books, knives, legs of broken chairs and heels of shoes are among the miscel- laneous hammer substitutes in com- mon use with the sex, but they give little satisfaction. There is no doubt that the genuine hammer is more ef- ficient and less dangerous than any substitute for it yet discovered by fe- male ingenuity, and could the mind of woman he brought into sympathy with the hammer, she would doubt- less drive nails with eminent success, and with only an infrequent and pure- 'ly accidental smashing of fingers. Three Fools.. The other day a vicar in a little vil- lage near Liverpool was riding with his, man across a common when he saw a shepherd attending to his sheep. The Shepherd had a brand new coat on, and the vicar asked him in a haughty tone: “Who gave you that coat?” “The same people,” said the shepherd, “that clothe you—the par- ish.” The parson,‘ ‘nettled, rode on, murmuring to himself. turned to his man and told him to go back and ask the shepherd if he would come and live with him, for he want- ed a fool. The man went back and delivered the message, concluding with “for his master wanted a fool.” “Are you going away, then?” said the shepherd. “No,” answered the man. “Then tell your master.” replied the shepherd, “his living won’t maintain three of us.”—-—Scrapa.

Mrs. Warren, who boarded at Mrs. Smith’s, started out to spend the day with a friend living at the end of the village. Be- fore going half the distance she re- membered that she had left a win- dow open in her room, and seeing a small boy, she called to him: “Ned, will you please go to Mrs. Smith’s and tell her that I left my window up and would like to have it closed ‘2” ‘ The boy went ofl whistling, and soon another boy caught up with him. This boy was going directly to Mrs. Smith’s house. So boy number one gave the message about the window to boy num- her two to deliver. Arrived at Mrs. Smith’s, boy number two delivered his errand thus: “Mrs. Warren wants her winter clothes.” Jonery Mother Knew, Her Li tle Ones Would be Saved.
