The man never uttered a word and
those who saw him were too late to
prevent the deed.

^ Ttgere is‘^4 jicb contract pr liv
ing out in Germantown about
whom many amusing stories art*
told. For years, says the l’hila
I delpfaitt-Report}, he has purchased
j his, shoes at the one place, a little
I shop on Main street, and thither
he repdired the other day, and was
waited on by a new clerk, who
didn’t know him. The, new clerk,
sizing the .customer up as a labor
ing man, tried on a pair of cheap
brogans, which suited the con
tractor, except that he thought
them a trifle hard to {Mill on.
“I'll tix that all right,” said the
clerk, and he dusted a little pow
der in each shoe. Much to his "in
prise the customer grew livid with
rage.
“What d’ye mane by insultin’
me that way?” he demanded.
Just then the proprietor came in
and inquired as to the trouble.
“The young dude is afther put
tin’ chloride o’ lime in me shoes!”
exclaimed the irate contractor.
•• ’Tis an insult!”
The proprietor explained that
the supposed chloride of lime was
merely a harmless powder to
make the shoe go on with greater
comfort, and the old man was sat
isfied.
ON OUR LADY OF RADIUM.
<■ ' i ~~ »—
Observations of Israel Zangwill Re
‘ garding Its Inventor, Madame
Curie. i
Perhaps scarcely loss progrnmt
for humanity than the pa rad ok of
radium is the'paradox df its dis
eoveress (you see. even language
has npt|}',et adapte»J.i|self to feni
i^ine developments). If, as Ibsen
says, “the’ new generation is
knocking at Hbe door,” most pbr
ehiptory of all fs the bnockinjpof
the new generation of wofliwi.
says Israel Za-ngwill, in the Hoad
<*rr&fogazine«—-Yet < Madame Curie
is- by no means a- “new woman.”
8Ire has none of the.traits of that
bogy creature which the “eternal"
.masculine,” fearful for its secular
dominance, created front the mists
of its own jealousy and terror.
Sklowdowska Curie is not even a
blue-stocking^ but a graceful crea
ture with ail the romantic charm
of the Polish woman; she loves po
etry. and her taste In literature is
it’s delicate as her electrometer.
■Kor has she despised maternity,"
for she lias n little girl, vvlio is to 5
her more “rare and radiant” than
radium itself. There is no doubt
-that the.modern woman has come
to stay, and the- sooner man ae
.commodates himself to the new
sex-*the betpr.
