FASHIONABLE WoMEN.-lt has been
wisely and truthfully said that the tyr
amy of fashion destroys more women
than the pressure Of toll and sorrow.
The blind obedience to the behests Of
fashion, which nowadays so largely
obtains, works a great transgression of
the laws of woman nature, a greater
injury to her physical and mental, not
to say moral constitution, than the
hardships ofcomparative poverty. Ex-
perience has proved that the female
slave will live to grow old at her task,
while she sees two or three generations
of her mistresses fade and pass away.
The poor washerwoman, who has but
few rays of hope to cheer her in her
daily labors, will live to see her fash
ionable sisters all die around her; and
the kitchen maid is strong and healthy
when her mistress has to be nursed
like sickly infant. For nearly all
the good and valuable purposes Of hui
man life, it is a sad truth, that fashion
pampered women are almost utterly
worthless. Their force of character is
small, while they possess still less NOR
al power Of will, and quite as little
physical energy. Having apparently
no great purpose in life to attain me-
cessarlly they fail to accomplish any
worthy ends.
In fact, to a great extent, these are
mere lay 6gures-dolls-passively con-
signed to the hands of milliners and
servants, to be dressed and fed accord
ing to the memorable requirements of
fashion, no matter how absurd or in
furious the same may be. The fash
ionable women Of these present times,
in reality, exist merely. They do not
live in the proper acccptation of the
latter term; they dress, feed, instruct,
bless or save nobody. They make no
proper intellectual exertions, they set
no rich examples of virtue and woman
ly usefulness, for the reason theirs is
a mere negative existence. If they
rear children, servants and nurses DO
all the administration appertainlng to
them. And even when reared, what
are these offspring? What do they
ever amount to but poor, weak scions
of this physically deteriorated fashiona-
bic stock! Did any one ever hear of
a child of woman of fashion exhibit
ing any mark of virtue and power Of
mind for which it became eminent!
Certainly not, for when we read the
biographies of our really great and
rood men, we find that not one of them

A Tight Ship.

The 4ahHes is an iron armored vessel of
G079 tuns, and $50 feet long. She has been
afloat ten months, and during time, am in
formed on reliable authority, not as much as
Il wine glass of water has leaked into her this
is circumstance unparalleled in the history
of ship building and, unless she should be run
on a hard bottom there is no reason why she
should not remain tight for many years The
perfection Of construction is to be attributed
to the following facts that all the frames
were accurately shaped. that every sheet in
the whole formation was planed on the edges
and accurately punched to cages, SO that
all holes required to correspond met mathe-
maticaIly correct, every rivet was put in with
care and afterward inspected, and all the me-
tai was Of the best refined iron; no ordinary
ship plates were used.
Such perfection in materials and work.
manship is only to be obtained through good
mechanical judgment and perseverance and
patience on the part of inspectors. The Act-
lies was the first vessel built by the Admir-
atty in dry dock, and am particular in men
tionng the case because the value of the ex-
perience is of the utmost importance in iron
ship building. The strength and endurance

remained to be proved that they could, of any
dimensions, be built perfect; the achilles is

RATHER TALL FOR HIS AeE.-A st. Joseph
correspondent of the st. Louis Republican
gives an account of the discovery Of cave in
in that city, of vast dimensions and startling
magni6cence, with inches, columns, recesses,
fountains, all arranged as if by the hand of
some great artist. On one side was raised
platform of pure white marble, and upon it
was found human skeleton of gigantic size,
and in excellent preservation. It's length from
head to foot was 38 feet inches, and the cir
conference of the head was about feet. We
can easily believe about the size of the head,
but we think the narrator has made the length
of the skeleton too much. If he would take of
about six inches, there would be many who
would believe in it.

RATES OF ADVERTISING.
The Franklin Fund.

1t appears by the letter of the Mayor, an
nouncing the resi- gnation of Judge Minot as
Treasurer of the Franklin fund, that, in 1911
it amounted to $4,000, which now has accu
mulated to sum exceeding S111,000. The
original bequest was, we believe, $4,000. The
intention of the testator was to loan it to
worthy mechanics of Boston, who had served
a regular indented apprenticeship in this city
in sums sufficient to give them a start in life.
For while this intention was carried out:
but the alteration in the apprenticeship sys-
tenn that has taken place has so far decreased
the number of applicants who, by the terms
of the will, were entitled to loan from the
fund, it has for many years been loft in the
custody of the Hospital Life Insurance Cont
pany.
Franklin contemplated great things for his
native town of Boston, when he made the be-
quest. He calculated the amount of the fund
at the expiration of the first hundre years,
and made provision for its disposal. A portion
is left for accumulation another hundred years
and the whole is then disposed of, he not
deenling it proper to extend his views beyond
that period.
1t is curious to note the power of compound
interest in aggregating immense amounts. If
the original bequest was $4,000, and if it was
continued at uninterrupted per cent. COM
pound interest for two hundred years, it
would, at the end Of that time, represent
sum sufficient to pay the entire National and
State debts--Boston Commercial

CONDITION IN CHURcH-The Quincy (lll.,)
Wig, says that during the services of the
Fifth street NJ. E Church on Monday even
ing, some matches in the pocket of young
man named Spencer ignited, probably from
accidental friction. He attempted to squelch
out the flames, but some serpent eggs" being
in the same pocket took fire and commenced
dischargng their sutfocating fumes and roll
ing out their horrid, snaky convulsions in a
manner that for time baffled all efforts to
extineuish the internal" combustion. The
female portion of the audience was soon
thrown into wild state of alarm and disor-
der, resulting, however, in no serious conse-
quences The young man had his hands and
clothes somewhat burnt, though fortunately
escaped any personal injury
