Brave Women.

The extraordinary courage of the
Albanian women has been displayed
over and over again in the history of
the country but one of the most cele-
bra.ed instances was thai recorded of
the branch of the Albanian people rep
resented by the Suliotes, when they
were besiesed by Ali Pasha in 1892.
The Suliotes formed a semi-independent
confederacy, comprising GO villages, in
the districts Of Margariti, Paramy thia
and Janina. Up to the time of Ali
Pasha they prided themselves on the
regularity Of the payments of their dues
to the Porte. But the intrigues of the
cunning old Veil, who wanted to get the
whole Of the spahilik of Suli into his
greedy hands, soon reused the
people into rebellion, and they
commenced their glorious and
heightened war against the far greater
resources of the renowned Pasha. The
latter, by means of the duplicity of
which he was such ceremonious mas
ter, had entrapped Tzavella, one of the
Suliote heads of houses, into his power,
and then laid siege to the town of Sui.
lie endeavored by brides to induce TIA
vella to turn traitor. Cunning here
met its match the crafty Suliote pre-
tended compliance, and even left his
own son Foto in Ali Pasha's hands as
hostage. He returned to Sui under
pretense of betraying the town, but no
sooner had he arrived than he sent let
ter of defiance to the Pasha. Ali assailed
the town, and it was here that the hero
ism of the Albanian women became so
conspicuous. Mosko, the wife of TIA
vella and mother of Foto. showed prodi-
gies of valor during the siege She
broke open some cartridge-boXes with a
Ratchet, and then loaded them on the
other women, and rushing into the
trenches, distributed them among the
Suliotes. Ali threatened to roast alive
her son Foto, but she replied that she
was young and could have other chill
dren, and that she would eat bit of the
roasted flesh of her son rather than be-
tray her country.-Blackwoods Maya

Brains Needed IN Successful
Farming.

Farming on the vast scale that our
large landed proprietoH and renters do
is herculean undertaking, and in the
language of one of them, requires man
with heart in him. The management
of SO many hands, who may sbe of
every nation under the sun, is a task of
no ordinary matter The furnishing of
these with good wholesome food, the
keeping them in good spirits, and from
following their vices, and looking out
for their well being, should be, and is,
no doubt, a source Of anxiety to the pro-
prietor
In these days of improved agricultural
machinery our farmer must have a
knowledge of mechanism, if he would
keep from hauling his machinery to the
machine shop every week or so, and l
find many of our sturdy farmers who are
capable mechanics shoe their own work
animals, sharpen and often make their
own pillow shares, build their own wag
ons, make their own harness, and in
fact save many trip to town by their
ingenuity and mechanical knowledge.
Not only must they be we'll versed in
manual labor and mechanical pursuits
to be successful in their primal vocation,
but they must have fair knowledge of
financiering, and as one of the renters
said to the writer week ago, must be
able to ask a favor where they might
expecs refusal He said there is a
time when farmer must have money,
and at such time you must not be
afraid to ask, if you know that the an
swer will be 40. | have in my minds
eye many sturdy farmer who, time
pd again, has had to sacrifice everything
until his crop had been gathered, to
carry on the routine of their small
principalties. Imagine the strain on
those who have their all in the golden
harvest, which the torch of an incendi-
airy or an accidental spark from q pass
ing locomotive might destroy in one mo-
ment of time. What pluck and nerve
our bic hearted sons of the toll must
have to run the thousand and one risks
that surround the property during the
anxious and busy time Of gathering
what they have sown-Red Bluff Sen

Woman 8 Nerves.

The whole nervous system, III com
mon with the other structures of the
body, is smaller and less voluminous in
the female than in the male. Its func
ton is characterized by comparative
weakness, as evidenced by great suscep-
tibility and instability, and also by
promptness in responding to all kinds Of
stimuli. In women there is less nervous
capacity and vlgor, diminished power of
control, and greater readiness to break
down under physical and mental strain.
1t is notorious that the conditi
tons termed nervous and hysterical
are almost entirely confined to the fe-
male sex, In which they are extremely
common. Every physician at a hospital
who treats outdoor patients knows that
for every hundred men he prescribes for
he is called upon to treat at least five
hundred women. On the other hand
the male wards are always full, while
many Of the female beds are vacant.
This simply indicates that serious dis
ease is most common in men while
trifling nervous ailments are almost uni
versal in women Most women are nat
urally so predisposed that when sub
iected to fright, grief, anxiety, pain and
other such circumstances, they feel lin
addition to the direct distressing edects)
various remote subjective phenomena in
the form of suhocations, spasms, bodily
pains, fainting, commissions, and gen.
eral liability to violent and explosive
emotional demonstrations. If the
causes are permanent their effects may
become so, and may also deteriorate
the general health, and there are thou
sands Of women who are hopeless inva-
lids, often for life, from conditions act
ing on their susceptible and mobile ner-
vous systems, which in the other sex
would have produced no appreciable re-
suits. There are, of course, in this as
in other things, numerous exceptions to
the general rule, many women having
their natures much modified and ap-
preaching the male type, and in the same
way there are some men who are of
nervous and historical temperament
We may, then, assert as a fact, that the
nervous system of the average woman
is more susceptible and impressionable
than that of the average man, that in
consequence it is more readily unhinged
by mental and physical distress or IA
tigue, and when thus discorded it reacts
upon the system so as to cause perma-
nent disease. DIR. Bennett in Sanitary
Record.

COrnS.

Corns consist of layers Of thickened
epidermis-the transparent coating that
protects the sensitive true skin beneath
This epidermis is in constant process Of
formation from the true skin, and is as
constantly thrown off in minute par,
ticles. 1t is as destitute of feeling as
the nails-as also the scales on the legs
of fowls and on the bodies of fishes are
only modified epidermis. Corns are
among the "excrescences of civilization.
A higher civilization, however, which
shall conform the shoe to the foot, in
stead of the foot to the shoe, will know
of them only as we know of the crushed
feet of the Chinese women a
thickening of the epidermis having been
caused at the points of special pres
sure, this infames still further the skin
beneath, giving rise to successive layers
of thickened epidermis, which cannot be
thrown off like ordinary scarf-skin. Be
tween the vital force beneath and the
pressure of the shoe above, the central
portion comes to have the hardness of
nail. If splinter is left in the finger,
the flesh above and around it will die,
and new skin be formed below, which
will in time lift the splinter out. But
in the case of corns, natures efforts are
thwarted by the persistent pres
sure from above, which constant
" enlarges the corn from below
The first step toward relief is to Sc
cure a shoe anatomically correct in
construction. Meanwhile, remove the
pressure from the corn in whatever way
may be possible. A pointed knife run
down carefully between the layers will
easily take out-for the time-the CEN
trail core Sometimes it can be picked
out with a nail, after soaking the feet
three successive nights n warm water.
The soaking swells the core and, like
posts lifted by the frost, it seldom re-
turns fully to its place. But, as the
cores always fill up again, the only rem
edy is the removal OF the cause

Society in Washington.

Mary Clemmer says that in no other
American city is visiting carried on to
such an extent as in Washington.
Every lady Sin society" has her day for
receiving calls, and the distribution of
cards is enormous. "When strangers
visit Washington" she adds, sand take
up their abode at hotel, they have
only to discover the days of public recep-
ton, hire hack and proceed to visit
On Monday they can 90 to the homes of
the Judges of the Supreme Court and
other courts on Wednesday they can
call on the Cabinet ladies' on Thursday
visit all the Senatorial families and on
Saturday 90 to the White House to see
Mrs. Hayes. In every drawing room the
vititors will find standing in its centre
from one to a dozen ladies, richly attired,
receiving all with politeness, few with
that gracious charm which makes the
lJneliest stranger feel at home This is
not strange. These ladies are compelled
so constantly to greet so many whom
they do not know that the task becomes
monotonous, but irksome. These calls
involve no personal recognition. The
lady who received you on Wednesday in
her own parlor, on Thursday may meet
you on the street without a glance Of
recognition.

All Right.

Politeness to ladies is Justly consid-
cred one Of our national attributes but
while the native citizen keeps up to the
standard of gallantry, the imported arti-
Gle is apt to work effectively. A pas
senger in a crowded street car, the other
day, observed the entrance Of IMAM
followed by an old woman, and, Neing
that she looked tired and weak, he con-
siderately arose and offered her his seat.
Before she could take it, however, the
man had quietly filed the vacancy.
Here, Just come out of that" said the
passenger, " / didn't give up my seat to
you, but to the LADY," To which the
fellow replied, without Offering to move:

Tricks Of Memory.

Too much to do, besides its direct eff
feet On the busy worker, exposes him to
certain inconvenience apt to escape the
notice of others. One of these is the eff
feet produced on his memory. One who
leads a rushing life, Who has to hurry
from one thing to another, and from one
person TO another without a moments
interval, cannot have a vivid remem-
brance Of many things that happen in
his experience. He is necessarily liable
to forget, in way that another cannot
understand. Many a busy physician has
found himself at times in serious trouble
from this cause. He has made prom
Use to a patient, but before the promise
had hardened in his memory, some ex-
citing case has hurried him away, oblit-
Grated the impression, thus the promise
forgotten. Authors memories have been
known from a similar cause to play
them strange tricks. We know an
author who was engaged in writing a
book amid many other absorbing occu-
pations. For some weeks the book had
TO be laid aside When leisure came,
he resumed it, as he thought, at the
point where he had broken it off, and
got through considerable chapter,
when to his mingled amazement and
amusement. he found in his drawer an
other manuscript, almost precisely sim
liar, the existence of which he had quite
forgotten. SO strange and incredible
are these tricks of memory, that some
times the most honest of men, if exam
ined in court of justice, would hardly
be believed. The non mi ricordo would
hardly be accepted by those who have
had little experience of the difficulty Of
carrying in the memory impressions
which have not had time to photograph
themselves on its tablets, or have been
blurred by other impressions following
too quick.-Macmillan's Magazine!

Wedding Fees.

The Rev. John Hall, u. d., of New
York, has one of the wealthiest churches
in this country and was recently said to
be in receipt of a salary of $4,000.
The paper which made the statement is
given to exaggeration, and doubled the
sum. Dr. Halls salary is nearer
$4,000 than $4,000. The statement
was also made that the doctor receives
$4,000 year in wedding fees. This
is not surprising as many who come to
him to be married are millionaires, or
the sons and daughters Of millionaires.
DR.. Hall rushcs into print to correct the
statement as to the fees. He says: off
l publish the actual facts | have
little apprehension that | may lose the
respect of part Of the community-that
part which always look deferentially on
large sums of money am aware that
slight streak of envy sometimes
minges with the respect, but that is
neither here nor there. If ] tell the
readers of portion of the press that
deals in information of this kind, that
of more than 500, and that / never re-
ceived as much as $500 of marriage fees
in one year, why | may go down in the
estimate of my fellow citizens. | shall
be to them no more than one twentieth
Of what L seemed. My shadow will be
less. Not only so, but L may seem to
reflect on that particular part of the
press that affects this kind OF news, but
l may not get credit in future even for
comparative good looks"
Having thus knocked $500 off of
his wedding fee account, DIR. Hall pro
ceeds to denounce the whole wedding
fee business. He asks "Would it
not be good thing to cut off all of the
small favors given to ministers-such
as half fare passes on railroads, wedding
fees, and even donation parties, and
let ministers be put, like other men, on
living salaries"
This is too sweeping. AS to railroad
fares and donation parties it is well
enough; but the wedding tee is alto
gether different affair and rests on
different basis. There is no reason why
man should ride half price simply be
cause he is minister. If he render a
service to the company transporting
him, he deserves pay for it and should
be rewarded accordingly. The donation
party is an outrageous nuisance which
should not be inflicted on any decent
minister. But the wedding fee is fair
compensation for special service 1t
is matter almost impossible to fix as to
definite amount. Men pay all the way
from 81 to 81 600 for getting married
a man who Is very poor or very mean,
or who does not think that the lady of
his choice is of any particular account,
may satisfy his soul by handing the Off
ciating clergyman a dollar OF two a
wealthy man, or one who marrios an
heiress, can as easily pay 500, or $500
or even 81 1000. There are many cases
in which 500 bill is gracefully slipped
into the clergymans hand, although DIR.
Hall does not seem to have had much
of run of this SOFT of luck. The aver
age fee among well to do people is
probably about SO. Most clergymen
give their wedding fees to their wives.
An Episcopal clergyman who made a
practice of this was embarrassed by the
receipt of a lpair of trowsers as fee
from a nice young tailor for whom he
performed the marriage service.

A jury in Dodge county, Neb., gave a
judgment for $4,000 for the plaintiff in
a suit where it was plainly shown there
was no claim at all. The explanation
was that one of the jury had slept dur

other had been reprinanded by the
Judge for eating peanuts and wanted
to get even with him; and another adj
vanced and carried through the argu-
ment that the defendants being agents
Of the Pacific Railroad, and the railroad
being an object Of hostility owned by
non-residents, while the plaintiffs were
local residents, it was their duty there
fore to decide for their own citizens
and defend their homes. This patriotic
appeal settled the case
