general term to describe the subject of

and almost meaningless term "fe
male." That term Is altogether too
general. It Includes cows, bens and all
other beings of that gender Some
word Is needed that will express the
female of the human species and noth
lng else. She who orders the universe
and makes planets and suns and stars

STONE CANNON BALLS.
They Ware Used In Iron Gun* That
Were Held Togct i#r by Screws.
In these days of huge projectiles
turned to Qt exactly Into cuuiion that
are as near mechanically perfect as
model u engineering can uiuke them It
Is almost impossible to believe that at
one time the Turks carried on effective
warfare with wrought Iron cannon
screwed together and tiring stone can
non balls.
Two of these cannon balls are to
be seen at the museum of Hobart col
lege ut Geneva, N. Y.
Tliey were used by the Turks in
their war against the kingdom of
Cyprus, one of the numerous Christian
status which grew out of the crusades
The stronghold of the enemy was the
city of Famagustn. In 1571 the Turks
undertook to reduce its walls. For
nearly a year they burled stone can
non balls against them. The stones
varied In weight from a few pounds to
several hundred. In order to conserve
the force of the explosion the balls
were made to (it the bore of the can
non as nearly us possible, and they
were tired with great deliberation.
This method, though crude, was at
that time regarded as the height of
refinement In siege warfare. The city
finally surrendered because its food
supply was cut off. It was found that
the stone projectiles had done great
dumage to the walls and spread terror
among the defenders. At the siege of
Constantinople In 1-153 stone shot were
also used by the Turks effectively. As
late as 180". when the Turks defended
Constantinople against the British,
these guns were used effectively, as the
records of the British war office show.
CARELESS ABOUT GRAMMAR.
A Widespread Fault That a Little
Thought Would Correct.
The young woman who is careless
about the way she speaks, who thinks
good grammar should be used only by |
teachers and those euguged In "brain
work." Is uiuklng u most serious mis
take.
The manner in which a person ex
presses himself or herself—the use of
good grammar or the lack of it—stamps
[he speaker as either u person of edu
cation or of very little learning.
"Ain't Margaret uny better7" a young
girl was heard :isklng a chum one day.
"No, she ain't a bit better," her friend
answered.
Both girls were well dressed and
looked as though they came from com
fortable homes. Evidently a cure had
never come to either of them, and to be
in time for u matinee seemed to each
to be the paramount Issue of life.
Now. these girls must have known bow
crude their speech wns, but they were
absolutely indlffereut as to what opin
ions were formed by those who over
heard (hem.
Many young persons Just out of high
school are very careless about their
grammar. Perhaps they think no one
pays any attention to what they say or
how they say It. but the |ierson com
peteut to Judge very quickly passes
Judgment ou them uud quite frequent
ly lays the blame on the teacher or the
school system.—New York Telegram.
Ambition.
The scroll of fame has variant at
tractions for different minds.
"Here lies one whose name was writ
In water"—the despairing and dying
John Keats desired that admission of
defeat engraved for his epitaph.
"Write me as one who loved his fel
low men." was Leigh Hunt's asplra
tlon.
To be remembered as the author of
the Declaration of Independence and of
the first statute for religious freedom
and as the founder of the University
of Virginia, this was Thomas Jeffer
son's prayer to posterity.
Thus one may go the range. And
thus the lines recur:
Ambition is our Idol, on whose wings
Great minds are carried only to extremf
To be sublimely great or to be nothing
Paternal Sarcasm.
A father. In the stillness of night
called downstairs to his daughter sol
emnly:
"Hannah, what time Is It?"
A pause and Hannah answered:
'It's Just a quarter after 10, father.'
"All right," the father said. "And
Hannah, don't forget to start the clock
again after the young man goes out t»
