It is Not So Cheerful at the Top-- The Opinion of the Wife of a London Steeple-Jacks It appears that there fs No ImMeas ate likelihood of women steeplejacks becoming less rare, than they are at present, . In fact, steeplejacking seems likely to be one of the few occupations left in which men will nbt have to con- sider the possibility of competition by women. J This, at any rate, is the opinion of Mrs. Larkins, wife of thé best-known London steeplejack, who herselfanade an ascent oT a 170-foot chimney. "They would never have the nerve t)> work once they were up," she said. "Take my own case. Though for the first time in my life, I attempted a chimney stack, I have always been fond of heights--in'the way of rocks, mountains and show, monuments, "I always thought }I would like to go up a steeple, after) I married, but until this week I had \never made an ascent, though I wo dearly have loved to accompany mythusband when he repaired the Nelson WColumn. "It is not very often: that he gets work as near home as Allan's chim- rey ack 170 feet high--in Canal road, Mile End, London, .and so one day this week when my little boy, Willie, came from school we went down to watch the work. ; "Then I was suddenly seized with the old craving to climb, too. My husband put me intovthe steeplejack's seat, and up .I went. Will had gone a few minutes before with his father, but 60 feet was considered enough for him. "At this height my'husband sug- gested my returning to the ground, too, but by this time I wasdenthus- iastic to mount higher. : "¥ suppose the sensation is;some- thing similar to what one would ex: perience in a balloon. "Gradually everything andj every- body got smaller; the meu, calling | their goods on the paw $, the wo- men ne out their washing in the yards, the motor cars rushing down the Mile End road. il "The sensation of steadily: rising was splendid. Then I reached the top. That was the only part-I didn't like. "While the cradle was in motion it was delightful, but once it became stationary my one idea was to get down again, "I could never work uh there; I defy any woman to. Evén if they were in men's dress (which would be im- perative for safety's sake) no woman could be a steeplejack. She could pever keep her head." East Indian Immigration.

If thé papers were | burned by the Chinese in -gheir own { homes, the ashes of the sacred writ j ines would" mingle with the ashés of wood and other fuel, and the ashes of Chinese writing are as sacred as the writing itself. The ashes from the sacred furnace are placed in sacks, the sacks are con- veyed by wagons to the! sea and there, In a Mon War beat, are carried out where the tide runs swift and con: sigued to the waves. ~ The Mon War boat belongs to the Mon War Sher, which is a lodge with branches everywhere, organized and maintained for the purpose of paying reverence to the spirit of Confucius, The furnace in the Chinatown which nearly every large city in the United States harbors is generally a brick, ovenlike structure about five feet high, Opposite it on the wall there will usu- ally be an faseription of the character of the following: "The spirits of our ancestors are pleased that we keep sacred the writing of our country." The soclety of Mon War Sher (Club of the Beautiful Writing) is made up in each case of the prominent denizens of Chinatown, who support it; by vol- untary contributions, which pay the salaries of the keeper and his assist- ant. A MERCHANT. | He Used to Be One Engaged Exclu- sively In Foreign Comfperce. Originally the term merchant was applied only to ome who traded with foreign countries and who owned or chartered ships for that purpose-- Chaucer's "Marchaunt:" He wolde the see werd kepud for eny- thinge Betwixe Middulburgh and Orewelle. The merchant of Venice had "on the ocean" his "argosles with portly sail," and so had all the other merchants about whom poets or historians have written. So also in the Bible there is no confusion about the meaning of the word. One passage alone will serve is an illustration, "She is like the mer chants' ships--she bringeth her food from afar" (Proverbs xxxi, 14). De Quincey, writing in the early part of the nineteenth century ("Autobiograph- lc Sketches"), says: "My father was a merchant, not in the sense of Scotland, where it me#ins a retall dealer-one, for instance, who sells: groceries in the cellar--but in the English senise, a sense rigorously ex- clusfve--that is, he was a man en- gaged in foreign commerce and no other, therefore in wholesale com- merce and no other." But now it is no longer necessary to "plow the Spanish main" to give ene this time honored title, for any one who sells eggs by the dozen or flannel by the piece is at once put down as a merchant.--London Notes and Queries. Webster's Home Squadron. A few days before his death Danfel Webster wished to leave his sickroom once more to look upon the little para- dise which his taste had adorned about his maosion. Dressing himself with the utmost care, he went through the house on the arm of a servant add finally reached the library. The night before there was a terrific storm, and the great statesman expressed solicl- tude for the safety of the fishermen off the coast. As he looked from the window his eye fell upon a number of pleasgre boats which had been moored to a little mound in the artificlyl pond In the rear of the house. "Well" sald he, "the home squadron 1s safe. 1 think I will go back." It was his last playful remark. He never left his room again. : . Sensitive Plants.

"Every spring," quoth Old Twilight, "there is, a convention of fellers who meet to devise ways an' means of pre- serving the moose, an" thé deer, an' They sometimes include the musk-rat and the bullfrog. 'They send deppytations to Parliament an' they get purty near all they ast fer. Why, away up north a half-starved setilor, who has been living on dried codfish an' potatoes all winter, das sen' shoot a deer out uv season, even if a mouthful of fresh meat would save the hull fambly from havin' the bush feyer, which is the same as the prairie / an' the Red River fever an' thé mountsin fever, and the coast fever--all the same thing. I don't find fault with these fellers; but there are things that need pertection a dang sight more"n the wild beastses up north. I'm alludin® to the birds. don't see esp Boaz as many of um this spring as 1 to. They are gittin' scarcer every year, just becuz they are not purtected and | he 1 ys fer their purtection ain't orced, if thar is any. That's the reason we've got to spray our stuff. We've got to spray our fruit trees; we've got to spray our berry bushes; we've got to spray our 'taters an' turmots; soon we'll hev to spray our grain crops an' our grass, an', by ginger! the day'll come when we will hey to spray ourselves, especially the old folks an' the kids. "We wouldn't need no sprayin' ma- chines if we had lots of birds. "If the women would make as much fuss about the sir gun evil in con- nection with boys an' youths as they do "bout the cigarette evil, they would bs doin' somethin' fer the country. An air gun ain't unhealthy fer a boy, but it's mighty unhealthy for a robin or a Warbler or a Svodpackor. an, on't you it it at good is an air gun, ---- ? No good 'tall! If the women would up'n ast the Gov'- ment to forbid their manufgeture an' sale, the hull country would be with them™An' then the cats! They's millions cats strellin' round the country who spend every summer huntin' birds. What good are them cats? No good 'tall! It wouldn't do, mebbe, to kill all the cats, but if a body was stuck on a cat, why, let him git out a license fer it, same's a dog, an' make him put a tag on it, an' then clean up all the felines that nobody owns. That would give the birds a chance. People don't encour- age the birds to eome around; they'd sooner depend on paris green an' coppergs. The trees are gettin' scarce, and in the long drouths the water holes an' springs dry up. What's the matter with nailin' up bird boxes an' have a bird bath in every orchard? You can't believe how the birds would appreciate that. "But Um down on air guns. The pothunter with his two-dollar shot gun goin' about killin' everything he sees is bad enough, but you can hear that feller an' smell his smoke; but the feller with the air gun kin shoot the swallers in yer barn and you, milkin' in the yard, won't knew noth- in' "bout it.
