Feminine Notes.

Feminine Notes.
Women do not read; they listen
with the eyes. 10
Wit makes it easy to grow old, but
not impossible.
A woman would sooner rule heart
than fill it; not 50 man.
Friendship between women is only
a suspension of hostilities.
A woman need not always recall
her age, but she should never forget it.
A woman listens to play with her
mind and judges it with her senses. 4
1t takes as much wit to displease a
woman as it takes little to please her.
A woman's friendship is, as rule,
the legacy of love or the aims of in
difference.
In matters of the heart it is usual
ly the fear of insolvency that leads to
bankruptcy.
It is surprising how near age brings
3 woman to death and how little it
prepares her for 1t.
The woman who confdes to ons
nan her Partially to4 smother seeks
advice less than an avowal.
We are alwsys anxious to know
why we are loved. they only care g
know how much we love them.
The latest school understands liter
ature as much as the English do cook
cry. Its ideal is raw meat and
plenty Of condiments.
In church women think that they
receive because they observe, and that
they are meditating when they are
only holding their tongues.
The highest mark Of esteem a wo-
man can give to a man is to ask his
friendship, and the most signal proof
Of her Indifference is to offer him hers.
As rule, women care little for
comedy, because it makes them enter
into themselves. Give them the
drama which draws them out Of them
selves.
Women attain perfection in but two
departments of Observation-Disclosures and
memoirs. They only write well when
they imagine that they are talking.
CoAL-Anthracite.-There are no
new features to the business in this
kind of coal. A few dealers report
an improved demand, while others
are having the reverse, upon the
whole leaving the condition about as
it has been for weeks. Prices are
about as they have been, circular rates
being the exception. From every side
we get the report Of large stocks;
while in the East, where the prices of
anthracite and bituminous are about
| the same, with the prospects Of the
former advancing, there is an inclina-
ton among some of the large manu-
featuring establishments to resume the
use of bituminous coal.
Blt,lnaa7aous. The business in bitu-
minous coal since tolls were an
nounced will aggregate at least l50,-
600 tons, mostly, if not entirely, Cum
berland. We are assured the prices
| at which contracts have been made
are the lowest heard of for years.

SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.
Last Tuesday DR.. W. F. Funden-
berg, of Cumberland, Nd, operated
for the removal of the right eyeball
from Mr.. Joseph Fisher, who lives in
Cumberland Valley, about eight miles
from here. Mr.. Fisher totally lost
the sight from hurt many years ago,
but the eye never gave him much
pain since the injury. Lately the
sight of the sound one began to get
dim, and the removal of the bad one
was necessity to save the other.
The operation was entirely successful,
the patient returning home yesterday,
having entirely recovered from the eff
fects of the operation. In course of
time the artificial eye can be worn.
The Doctor was ably assisted by Drs.
Watson and Gump, of this town.
