Assuming that no man ever saw a wo-
man slap her ears or wear earnuffs, it
behooves the sterner sex to respectfully
inquire why this is SO. ,Women's ears,

mems ears. To an impartial and fair
minded observer, they are more deli
cately constructed, and, naturally, not
as well fortified AGAINST cold as the aver
age masculine Z fauricular appendage.
The feminine ehrt is not protected by
whiskers or hair, aud fashion declares
that the hat or bonnet shall in no way
contribute to its warmth or general
comfort. goes into battle against Che
common enemy without armor, and with
no more preparation for conflict than
we're this the month of June instead OF
December. That it should escape under
such circumstances, or that, unwrapped
and thus exposed, it should not require
slapping, as either preventive or pro-
tective measure, is a mystery which the
average masculine mind is not equal to.

Why Kill Ones Self!

Notwithstanding the general impress
sion that the worst use that can be made
of man is to kill him, there have been
a great many suicides within the past
few days. Whether these victims OF
themselves have found another world,
and one enough pleasanter to justify
their haste in going to it, is a question
for theologians to decide; but to the
ordinary mind suicide seems to be q
great blUnder. As general rule even
the seintliest people object to leaving
this rather uncertain earth of ours, so it
stands to reason that there is good
deal worth living for; and though it may
not be at hand at the immediate mo-
lnent it is desired, the whirligig of time
has way of bringing a fair amount of
cheer and comfort to every man. Many
of the prosperous, contented men and
women of to-day can look back at time
when their troubles we're as great as any
which suicides have refused to endure;
but out of these very troubles sprang
the ability to enjoy to the uttermost
such pleasant changes as time finally
brought. Besides, no man or woman is
so poor or so degraded as to be utterly
uncared for, and to slaughter the par
ticular friend of ones friend is dread
fully impolite trick for any gentleman
or lady to indulge in. The probability
is that nearly every man who shoots
himself or takes poison does so IN fit
of depression, such as millions of others
have conquered, first having suffered by
it. If any one contemplates buying
Paris green or a revolver SO as to be in
the fashion, let them pause, pay part OF
his money for a thorough bath, take
plenty OF air. and exercise and see for
himself whether it is not better to be
live failure above ground than dead
failure under it.-NeW York Herald.

SNatp" salisbury.

The Boston Herald, Of February 10th, in speak
ing of Salisbury's Troubadours, who we're there
playidg a five weeks engagement in Boston, has
this to say of "Nate" Salisbury:
MR.. "NATE" SALISBURY,
who heads the troupe and otiiciates as manager,
rs well rs its leading spirit on the stage, was
born in Fairport, H., in 1916. Losing his par.
ents In early life, he was obliged to look out
for himself at an age when most children are
tenderly cared for At the outbreak OF the civil
war he enlisted in an Illinois regiment and served
four years, receiving three severe wounds, for
which honorable mention in orders" scarcely
compensated. Leaving his regiment in Texas
he spent some time in Mexico, and then returned
to his native state to enter commercial college.
Business was too dull for him, and he soon
donned the sock and buskn., After succession
of ups and downs in the profession, he secured
position at the Boston Museum, where he laid a
good foundation for the reputation he today pos
sesses of being a capital character and dialect
comedian of great versatility. Some three years
ago he organized the Troubadours in the West
and has taken them completely around the world,
everywhere meeting with the same success en-
loved the present season.

aware of the law or not, the vandals have begun
their peting Of birds, though many of this year
birds are hardly old enough to fly. 1t is useless
to argue with such men about the decency Of the
thing or the manliness of genuine sporting
man who gives bird chance for its life; so
dozen or more young men (who for the better cx-
ccuton Of their plans shall be nameless), have
Joined teams for the prosecution of vandals. A
fund of some 500 has been raised in cash for
this purposes; a regular system of scouting"
has been adopted and through us they give war
ming that every case that comes to their know
