Driftwood Pete's Streak of Luck. While splitting wood near his boat house at the foot of Loughborougb avenue, yesterday afternoon, "Drift wood Pete" made a lucky strike of the ax, which put him in possession of nearly $100 in gold. He was pound ing away at the hollow log, when the ax cut through . and struck some metallic substance, which proved to be an iron pot tight sea!ed. With eager haste he broke the top, and to his delight gold coin came rolling out. Upon counting the coins they amounted to $10). The pot had been incased in the log apparently for a great number of years, and it is thought to have been hidden in the tree during the war. Where the tree came from will proba)ly never be known. It had been felled szmewhere up the river, and drifted along with the current to yield its treasure to "Driftwood Pete." "Driftwood Pet." has earned a livelihood all his life by catching drifting wood and other i floating articles on the Mississippi River during the summer months. It was seven months ago that he caught the log which contained the pot of gold, and it has lain near his cabin ever since, until yesterday, when he started to split it up for firewood. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. M3ost Confirmel of Woman Ilater.a. Probably the most confirmel miso gynist who ever lived was a wealthy old bachelor who has just died in Vieama. After his death a bundle of documents was discovered among his belongings, labeledi: "Attempts made by my family to put me under the yoke of matrimony." In this packet were sixty-two letters, the dates rang ing from 1815 to 1893, a suiicient proof of the tenacity of his relations. So afraid was this strange man of even sitting near a woman that whenever he went to the theatre he booked three seats, in order that ho might have one on either side of him empty. When traveling in a railway carriage he was Always careful to smoke a large, foul-smelling pipe. to keep away in truders of the female sex. In his will he said: "I beg that my executors will see that I am buried where there is no woman interred either to the right or left of me. Should this not be practicable in the ordinary course of things, I direct that they pur,!hase three graves, and bury nie in the mid dle one of the three, leaving the two others unoccupied."-London News. The Lae of Blood. Every polar expedition and whaling 'essel. which visits the Baffin Bay region puts in at Yaureka Bank, so as to allow explorers and seamen to visit the celebrated Lake of Blood. Of it the author of "My Summer in the North" says: "It is a lake of consid erable extent, lying only a few feet above the level of the sea, and appears of a deep dark blood red. Careful ex amination proved, however, that the -water itself was as pure and clear as possible; the re.l effect being due to the fact that the bottom and sides of the lake, as well as the few stones which were scattered about in it, were coated. most perfectly with the red snow plant. In some places, where the water .bhad evaporated, the withered red plants on the soil and rocks looked exactly like dried spots of blood." _______ Largest chtmes Last in America.

TALMAGEI I of lE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S! of SUNDAY SERMON. fa til ti TExT: "She shall be called woman."-' yC Genesis ii., 23. y< God, who can make no mistake, made man I and woman for a specifne work and to move at in particular spheres-man to be regnant W in his realm; woman to be dominant in here. + The boundary line between Italy and Switz- rc erland, between England and Scotland, Is not more thoroughly marked than this dis- 10 tinction between the empire masculine and DI the empire feminine. So entirely dissimilar W are the fields to which God called them that you can no more compare them than you can oxygen and hydrogen, water and grass, trees and stars. All this talk about the su- n( periority of one sex to the other se1 is an th everlasting waste of ink and speech. A jew- fe ek'r may have a scale so delicate that he can 01 weigh the dust of diamonds, but where are a the scales so delicate that you can weigh in te them affection against affection, sentiment w against sentiment, thought against thought, soul against soul, a man's world against a woman's world? You come out with your stereotyped remark that man is superior to te woman in intellect, and then I open on my w desk the swarthy, iron typed, thunderbolted tr writings of Harriet Martineau and Elizabeth bf Browning and George Eliot. You come on W with yourstereotyped remark about woman's a superiority to man in the item of affection, tI but I ask you where was there more capa- m city to love than in John, the disciple. and al Matthew Simpson, the bishop. and Henry sl artyn. the missionary? The heart of those men were so large that P! after you had rolled into it two hemispheres di there was room stil left to marshal the hosts al of heaven and set up the throne of the eter- a' nal Jehovah. I deny to man the throne In- re telletual: I deny to woman the throne af- U fectional. No human phraseology will ever tl defilne the spheres. whilethere Is an intuition of by which we know when a man is in his li realm. and when a woman is in her realm. and when either of them is out of it. No St bun-ling legislature ought to attempt to tO make a dofinition ori o say, "This is the line 'a and that is the line.' My theory is that if a G woman wants to vote she ought to vote, and N that if a man wants to embroider and keep b house he ought to be allowed to embroider g and keep honse. There are masculine wo men and there are effeminate men. My ti theory is that you have no right to interfere bD with any one's doing anything that is W righteous. Albany an.1 Wosbington might as 10 well deeres by legisiation how high a brown m thrasner should flv or how deep a trout w should plunge asto trvto seek out theheight a and depth of woman's duty. The question T4 of capacity will settle fina-ly the whole ques- w tion. the whole subject. When a woman is w prepared to preach. she will preach, and ha neither conference nor presbytery can hinder V her. When a woman is prepared to move y in h Ighest commerciai spheres, she will have great influence on the exchange, and no u boards of trade can hinder her. I want wo- ii man to underst and that heart and brain can a overfly any barrier that politicians may set 1! up, and that nothing can keep her back or r( eep her down but the question of incapac itv. I was in New Zealand lazst year just after V the opportunity of suffrage had been con- B ferred upon women. The plan worked well. I Thire had never bleeu such good order at V the polls, and the righteousness triumphed. I Men ha-e not made such a wonderful moral V sucess of the ballot box that they need fear Si women will corrupt it. In all our cities man '% has so nearly made the ballot box a failure, cl suppose we let women try. But there are V some women, I know, of most undesirable nature, who wander up and down the coun- a try-having no homes of their own or for- D saking their own homes-talkingabout their tl rights, and we know very well that they t themseves are fit neither to vote nor keep p house. Their mission seems merely to hu- s5 miliate the two sexes at the thought of what 3 any one of us might becoine. No one would a want to live under the lawq that such women t< would enact or to have cast upon soctety the D children that such women would raise. But b I shall show you that the best rights that h woman can own she already has in her pos- k session; that her position in this country at tl this time is not on'e of commiseration, but a one of congratulation: that the grandeur S and power of her realm have never yet been il appreciated: that she sits to-day on a throne tl so high that all the thrones of earth piled on 8 top of each other would not make for her tl a footstool. Here is the plat form on which' she stands. Away down below it are the ballot bo'x and the congressional assem- s bage and the legislative hall. Woman t] always has voted and always will vote. Our tl great-randfathers thought they were by thir votes putting Washington into the Pres-- d idential c'hair, No. His mother, by the 1 principles she taught him, and by the habits I she inculeated, made him President. It was a a Christian mother's hand dropping the bal- I lot when Lord Bacon wrote and Newton I philosohtized and Alfred the Great governed ~ and Jonathan Edwards thundered of judg ment to come. How many men there have been in high t political station who would have been in suffieient to stand the test to which their moral principle was put had it not been for l a wife's voice that encouratged them to do I right and a wife's prayer that sounded louder than the clamor of partisanship? The right I of suffrage as we men exercise it seems to be a feeble thin::. You, a Christian man, come up to the ballot box and you drop your vote, I Right after you comes a libertine or a sot the oirscouring of the street-and he drops 3 fls vote'. wa ni s vore couaerts yours. But i f in the quietb-f home life a daughter by a her Christian demeanor, a wife by her in- s< dustry, a mother by her faithfulness, casts a vote in the right direction, then nothing can c resist it, and the influence of that vote will throb through the eternities. tl My chief anxiety then is not that woman tl have other rights accorded her. but that she, r by the grace of God, rise up to the apprecia-. A tion of the glorious aights she already pos- d sesses. First, she has the right to make , home happy. That realm no one has ever tl disputed with her. Men may come home at. noon or at night, and then tarry a compara- a tively little while, but she, all day long, gov- g erns it. beautifies it. sanctifles it.

These men found hat1 hey could not accomplish much against hat kind of warfare, and in one of the cities regiment was brought out all armed to isperse the women.

The fur of the weasel family is in great demand by the dealers because j of its beauty and adaptability in many t classes of wearing apparel. What is known as ermine is produced by a lit te animal called the stoat in England. in winter he changes his reddish brown skin to a white one. Savage and bloodthirsty is this little crea ture, preying upon everything that he can overpower. His chief fool con- t sists of partridges and rabbits, but many other small animals are disposed of in the same way. The pine marten, a member of the weasel tribe, has a brown skin and yellow throat. Stone martens have a bluish brown coat with white throat. They are larger than the stoat and more destructive. The other is the king of weasels. He can whip anything of his weight in the world. Re is hunted with hounds in England, and can give six or seven dogs all they can do to kill him. Like the mink, he is very fond of fish and water fowl. All of the weasel family are very fierce and strong for their size. The skunk, with his black and white coat; the badger, w'.h his beautif al silver gray far and black dashes, and the sable, are all of the same species and valuable fur-bearing animals. -Boston Traveler.
