Aneleni Egyptian Monolith In New York Is Falling

One of the chief altractions nf Cen- tral park, in the city of New York, 1s the Egyptian nhelisk erected opposite the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This ancient monolith was erected in Cen- tral park in 1951, having been trans- ported from Alexandria, under charge nf Lieutenant Commander Gorringe. It waa asserted that the severity of our climate would cause disintegration, and steps were taken to prevent this, or to reduce it to a minimum. A careful ex- amination marie recently proves that in spite of the care taken to prevent it the process of disintegration has been . going on. The ravages of the weather pre particularly noticeable on the west face nf the ohclisk, which has a senly appearance in certain places. This is the side upon which the shaft rested Egypt, and the biernglyphics on it are much fainter than on the other three surfaces. Then, the crack which ex- tends from the base to the south side of the obelisk hns been gradually spread- Ing, although it was filled with wooden plug covered with cement when the stone was erected on its present alte. The suthorities who have charge of the uhelisk will make a thorough iu- vestigalion, and If it can be showu that the monument ia In danger of de- struction hy being exposed to the in- clement elements, it will probably he removed and exhibited under cover.

WHERE HONESTY EXISTS.

No Burglar Alorm. Are Required the Small Tuwas of Connectlent.

" l'eople in the small towns up in Con- Dertieut." anid'a traveling man, "appear to læ much more honest than they are in New York. Not nne family in ten thinks of such a thing as burglar alarms, and haif of them do not even lock their outer doors when they re- tire. But what impresses me most are the street inundry boxes.

"Nearly every town of 3,000 or more inhabitants has several places where laundry packages are received and de- livered. These places pre generally dry goods nr notion stores, or haberdash- eries. Suburban merchunts as a rule do not keep their stores open much later than right o'clock in the evening, and do not open them until seven or half past seven in the morning.

"This does not suit all their patrons, sn it is no infrequent sight to sre out- side the store a large red box with a fair-sized opening in the top. The buy bears the legend: 'If the store is closed. put your laundry in here.' Now just imagine a New York Inundry office using o receptacle like that. Why, five minutes after a package was deposited in the box it would be fished out. nnd in on hour its contents would be in the possession of some dealer in second- hand clothing. But up in Connecticut the scheme seems to work very well, and all I can say is that it is n tribute to the genernl honesty of the com- mnnity."

COULD NOT RESIST BOOTS.

A Woman Who Had Never Stolen Anything, But Them She Woold Sieat.

Here is n respectahle looking middle- aged woman; 20 times at least she has heen sent tn varying terms of imprison- ment for stenling from shops; an incor- rigible shoplifter she is termed, and so Re I thought till I came to understand ber, says ibe Contemporary Review. peatedly as she was charged the pathos nf the whole thing grew upon her. Hler aflerce in the dock and her tears in the cell were irresistible.

Sn we hecame friends, and she told me her secret. I found respectable lodgings for her, hired n sewing mn- chine, and secured her plenty nf work. She was not idle, and was soon beyond the necessity of stealing. 1 flattered myself we were on the wny to success and I said to ber: "Your devil shall be cast out," when all of a sudden the old offense was repeated, and again to pris- on she wert. My heart went out to the wretched creature us she sat in the cell .. I could not condemo her, for 1 knew. With a piteous look into my face she said: "Don't blame me, Mir. Holmes, don't blame me; I enn't help it. I would if I could, hut I must steal hoofs." Knowing This. I had provided her liber- ally with boots to minimize the tempta- tion, laut u' in vain, and so for as 1 could ascertain she had never stolen anything but boots.

The " Adamless dinner," at which men sre tabooed. is a new fad among society women.

Charles M. Sheldon does not re- gard "In Ilis Steps" as The best of the several books he has written nad puh- lished. The reading puhlie, however, dnes not agree with him, and its verdict is nceepted. It Is commonly supposed that "In Ilia Steps" netted Its author a very large sum, but such ia not the case. It was copyrigthed in this country only, so the author receives no royalty from England, where it has had the largesi sale. In this country Mr. Shel- don sought to get his book on the mar- ket sn as to sell it at n low price in order that it would have a wide circulation.

WHAT THE WOMEN ARE DOING.

Lady Colin Campbell is an accom. plished fencer.

Miss Helen Long, who has presided over the home of the secretary of the navy for two years, has the degree of M. D. from Johns Hopkina.

Miss Cecilia Beaux, of Philadelphia, nus heen appointed as the only womau on the jury to select exhibits for the United States fine arts departments at the Paris exposition.

The first Russian woman ever admit- ted to practice in the United States dls- triet court of southern New York is Miss Alice Berber, who was so honored a few days ago.

The first lady student to be received into the Chicago theological seminary is Miss Florence Fensham, professor of Old Testament literature in the Ameri- can college for girls in Constantinople. Miss Alice De Rothschild, who was recently naturalized in England, was sincerely devoted to her brother, the late Baron Nathaniel, and inherited n large life interest in his immense for" tune. The lady is very clever and a social success.

The widow of former Gov. Atkinson, of Georgia, has created something nf a sensation in business and social circles by going into the field as a general state agent for fire and life insurance com-

panies. ane satys'ner purpose is to make a living and educate her five children. She Is already doing well and has re- celved letters of or igratulation from numerous society women.

The Parson Who Milked His Cow. A country pastor, who was very bright and original in his remarks, at- tracted the notice of a wealthy lady who was spending the summer in the vicinity. One evening she called at the parsonage just as the old minister, clad In overalls, was coming in from the stahle with a brimming pail of milk. "Why, Mr. Smith!" exclaimed the lady, "do you milk a cow ?"

"Certainly, modam," was the reply. "What would you have me milk ?".

Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis- courages and lessens ambition; heauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid- neys are out of order or diseased.

Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid- neys. Ifthe child urin- ates too often, If the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with hed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose.

Women as well as men are made mis- erable with kidney and hladder Irouhle, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Rnot Is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty-
