the wall. Friends cannot save him. A city
locks cody upon q catastrophe of this kind,
for it ID an everyday affair, and the victim
knows perfectly well that he can neither help
himself nor get anybody else to help him. So
the city friend, knowing the risks and the needs
OF city life, breads to see any country friend
undertake them. Then, too, the faithful records
Of city life show that the chances are largely
against financial success init.
The man OF society who is attracted from
the country to the city usually fails 10 calculate
his own insignifcance when he encounters
numbers. The man OF social consideration in
the country needs only to go to the city TO fiud
30 many heads above his own that he is
counted OF no value whatever. "Who is he -
What ls he ~ and "What has he done ?" are
questions that need to be satisfactorily an
swered before he will be accepted, and even
then be will need to become positive force of
some sort in society to maintain his position
City society is full Of bright and positive men
and women, and the man and woman from the
country bring none OF their old neighborLood
prestige with them to help them through.
To sum up what the city man really feels in
regard to the coming Of his country acquaint-
ances to the city, it would be not far from
this,-vlz:
1st. The chances for wealth are as great, prac-
tcally, in the country as in the city, and the ex-
~ Wiz
much less
I'd. The competitions Of city life and the
struggles to get hold OF business and salaried
work are fearful. No man should come to the
city unless he knows what he is gong to do.
or has money enough in his hands TO take care
of himself until he gets q living position or
becomes satisfied that he cannot get one.
Even to-day, with the evidences OF renewed
prosperity all around us, there are probably
ten applications on file for every desirable
place. and no man living here could help a
friend to place unless he could create one.
Sd. That the social privileges OF the city
may be greater, while the opportunities of
social distinction and the probabilities OF social
consideration are much less than they are in
the country.
4th. Tha, IN many respects there is nothing
in the city that can compensate for the pure
pleasures Of country scenery and country life
and neighborhood associations.
9Th. That city mans dream OF the future,
particularly il he ever lived IN the country, il
always Of the country and the soil. He longs
to leave the noise and fight sll behind him, and
go back to his country home to enjoy the
money he may have won.

How WOMEN VoTE IN KANsAs.-The women
OF Kansas have the right 80 vote on all maj
ters relating to schools, aud the manner IN
which the experiment works is thus described
by an exchange:
Zone sees in Kansas many new aud unis-
miliar sights but none more interesting than
that Of the ladies voting. They have the priv
ilegs Of voting in all matters pertaining 10
schools. AS far as observation goes, the ladies'
have minds OF their own. They neither vote
for the handsomest men, nor the ones tbeir
husbands tell them 10 vote for, unless the can
dldate lie, in their own opinion, the proper one
Their votes cannot be bought. They are aul-
versally on the eide OF morality and temper
ance; hence the workers in the temperance
cause are warm advocates of equal suffrage
Election days pass quietly. II there is snv
drinking or fighting done, 1t 10 not at the polls.
Everything 10 orderly there, notwithstanding
contrary reports circulated by att -suffragists in
the Eastern States. Candidates keep carriages
running for the accommodation OF the led,es,
but q great many walk up aud deposit their
votes As the result go far has been very cat
isfactory even to the men, it will probably DO
but sshort time until equal suffrage is granted.
The gentlemen show their gallantry andnfaitb.
in the ability OF the ladies' by appointing them
to Office. The enrolling clerks Of the Legiss-
ture are ladies', also large proportion of coun-
ty superintendent, who, in every instance, DE
charge their duties in q manner that gives uni-
versal satisfaction"

/. A certificate is necessary because: a.
school officers cannot contract with teacher
not holding one-SS CAS-, 184) b. no public
money can be paid to such teachers (62); C

WINTER WALKING.-The excesses and alb
surdties OF professional "pedes trianism' will
have inflicted a serious injury on the land If
Especially in wintry weather this most natural
and pleasant form OF exercise was not enough
in vogue before the pedomaniacs did their
worst 10 bring it into disrepute. And yet, who
that has experienced it would exchange the
exhilaration that comes from being "all in Q
glow" after brisk walk through the sparkling
air, for the social or the merely lazy satisfaction
OF having had a ride? The reflection Of the
poet Holmes "proud pedestrian" are no fanci-
ful sketch to real lovers OF winters walk.
The lassitude Of spring and the languor Of
summer, which made sauntering either neces-
sity or delight, now give way to the vim and
vigor OF health, seeking its natural expression
OF activity under favorable conditions. How
clear and sweet is the nipping and eager cir !!
How it inspires and suetalns one in swinging
cheeks glow, aud the eyes shine, and the
muscles tlngle with . delightful vigor, after
such walk through the winter sunshine
The able bodied man who will crouch down
shiveringly in the corner OF q street car-in an
air rank and fetid from the pack OF humanity
breathing and exhalipg thsrein-.whsn he has
only two or three miles to walk, deserves to be
assaled by the demons Of Influenza, neuralg!a,
coughs, colds and headaches that lurk therein.
Even a ride in buggy or sleigh robs the trip
OF half its benefits The air is good, to be sure,
but the exercise is lacking, and Its resulting
benefits to the blood and the muscular and
nervous systems.
Winter walking is sure cure for cold feet.
1t banishes the "creep-crawls" from the spinal
column, and sends the sluggish blood about its
business. AS "nervine" it is million times
better than medicine, and for improving the
complexion it is worth a whole harborful OF
lotions and washes. 1t vii put an edge on sp-
petite that you can't buy at the doctors, and
in promoting digestion 10 better than corner
drugstor.'s entire stock Of bitters and pills. IL
you are physically zap to it," take walk-not
shivering and protesting dress parade for
duty. or . lazy constitutional but lively
turn, with vim in 1t that can laugh at . De
cember nor wester.-T Golden Rule.

BuRN KEROSENE THE RIGHT WAY.-A cor
respondent OF the New York Sun calls the at
tention OF all consumers OF kerosene oil 70 tho
pernicious and unhealthy practice of usiDG
lamps filled with that article with the w,cks
turned down. The gas which should be con
sumed by the flames is by this means left heav-
y in the air, while the coat OF the oil ,hus saved
at present prices would scarcely be one dollar
. year for the lamps OF the household. HIS at
tention was called particularly 10 this Gu stom by
boarding in the country where kerosene was
the only available light. large family Of
children living in the same house were taken
i'll one night. and, on going 10 the nursery, the
mother found the room nearly suffocatiDg,
with lamp turned down. whereupon the ply
sician forbade the use OF lamp a. night, unless
turned at full head. He SAYS be could quote
many cases, one OF Young girl subject to tits
Of faintness, which, il no; induced, were great
ly increased by sleeping IN room with the
lamps almost turned ont. Beside the damage
to health, it spoils the paper and curtains soils
the mirrors and windows and gives the whole
house an untdy air and an unwholesome odor
HEALTHY WoMEN.-A writer, IN urging the
necessity for more attention to phyHcal culture,
notes az favorable sIga the fact that "ihe
pale and interesting type OF female beauty 10
fast losing its popularity, and that men OF
position and influence are declaring for the
healthy standard Of womsnly beauty, such 90
was ever recognized by Greece and Rome. TbS
is certainly an important and happy change IN
public taste, and already the effects Of it are 10
bs detected in an improved condition OF fem
mine health, for it will hardly be denied that
on an average the woman OF to-day are phykie-
ally superior to what they were few years ago
when tight lacing and similar destroying cusfoms
prevailed.
Young women take more exercise than they
formerly did. They ride and walk more, and
are more in the open air. They have not tho
insane dread OF the SUMS rays which they once
had. But there is much room for improve
ment yet. Many homes are still presided over
by invalid wives and mothers who furnish a
constant spectacle OF sadness aud misery 10
their families and friends, and are a subject; OF
unlimited expense to their husbands. 10 such
homes the greatest OF all blessings that could
be hoped for would be the health OF the mis-
tress restored but too often IT is the one
blessing which never comes.
We are on the right track now; al that 10
needed is to 90 ahead, and the results will soon
be manafest. Woman will die TO be in fashion;
therefore let the fashion Of female bea'ssy be
vigor and strength, and all the ladies' N tho
land will be swinging dumb-bells, pracficing
archery, riding on horseback, and walking 40
for wager, but they will be in style.

Hancock to sympathize with him, the
defeated candidate observed that he was
"sorry for the party and the people. :"
His sorrow for the party is legitimate
enough, but it is very absurd of him TO
pretend TO be sorry for the people. Does
he imagine that he would have made
better President than Garfield, we won.
ders Does he regret the opportunities
the people have had for absorbing novel
information about the tariff from his Inns
Or does he think that his state papers
would have been peculiarly weghtyl 1t
does not matter much, but really the peo.
pie do not need General Hancocks sympa-
thy or sorrow on this suspicious occasion.

THE REPORTED LOSS OF THE JEAN.
NETTE.

The reported loss of the Jeanette
which comes to US from Japan, does not
appear to rest upon any trustworthy au-
thority. In fact we are inclined to regard
it as merely roundabout repetition and
expansion of the story which reached San
Francisco several months ago, concerning
the probable fate of the missing whalers
We do not perceive that the Japan papers
have had any special or exclusive intelli-
gence in regard to the matter, and there
fore we attach little importance to the
rumor. 1t is of course possible
that the Jeanette has been crushed
in the ice, and arguments drawn
from considerations as to her
strength of hull are by no means calcu-
lated to give assurance, seeing that the
arctic Toe is VIGOROUSLY capable of crushing
the strongest work of mems hands ever put
together. No vessel ever built was strong
enough to withstand the possible pressure
OF those enormous masses of ice, and there
fore 1t must be admitted that if the jean
nette got into the middle of the ice there
could be no guarantee for her survival
The hope of her friends, of course, is
that she has not been so helplessly in
closed, but that Lieutenant De Long was
able to get her into shelter, or possibly into
open water, ON the other side of
the dangerous region. It may be added,
that even supposing fresh information had
been obtained from the Esquimaux, it
would not necessarily be reliable, for that
the natives are very apt to adapt the char
acter of their answers to the supposed
wishes of their interlocutors, and there
fore when the latter examine them about
a missing vessel, they might think it
piece of politeness to invent the vessel.
So far as can be perceived, there is as good
ground for believing in the escape of the
Jeannette as in her loss, up to the present
time. The fact is, that much uniusti-
fable alarm has been caused in
regard to her by the impatience of the
press. Before there was any possibility of
hearing from the expedition, rumors of
disaster began to be circulated, and one
result OF this was that the continued
silence has seemed more and more menac.
ing, when in reality it was precisely what
should have been expected. The Japan
story does not strike us as genuine con-
tribution to the history of the expedition,
and we think the friends of the expedition
will be justified in regarding it as mere
echo or repetition of old reports, worked
over and quite possibly embellished in the
course of transmission.
