In All Her Ignorance.

The ignorant young lady may be q
beautiful creature, graceful in her man
ners, pleasant in her department and
possessed of a sufficient stock of CONVEX
satlOnal power to entrap some poor fell
low into matrimony. Under our laws
there is no bureau Of examination to test
her qualifications for assuming the re-
sponsibilities of IN arried life. The young
man who takes her for better or for
worse can act as examining board at his
leisure and report ut his convenience or
inconvenience, as the case may be. He
Is likely to find that although she may
have entranced him with the huency of
her speech at party or ball during the
blissfm experience of courtship, her en-
deavors at housekeeping are anything
but blissful. When she undertakes to
bake biscuits the products of her first
days work may be sold either for paving
stones or base-bals. When she wrestles
with cobwebs the industrious spider
gets the better of her. When she at
tempts to set room to rights she leaves
it looking as if her neighbors had been
holding picnic in it.
But it is when the ignorant young
lady becomes q mother that her natural
lack of knowledge is most conspicuously
displayed. Such a case has recently
been brought to light in one of the
pretty villages on the Hudson River.
The lady had been brought up among
surroundings of wealth and luxury and
had allowed much useful information to
skip past her without taking the trouble
improve it. One day it became neces-
sary to give her bouncing baby boy
bath in his little tin bath-tub. She put
him into water which wis too cool for
him, when happily her mother-in-law
came into the room and told her that
the child would be chilled to death unless
the water were made warmer. She
knew that heating water generally made
1t warmer, and so, instead of adding
some hot water to the cool contents of
the tub, she stood the whole. baby and
all, over the gas stove. Presently the heat
had its effect. The bottom of the tub
began to be hot and the child wriggled
around IN way which showed that he
was uncomfortable. As it grew hotter
and hotter he set up his little pipes in
piercing yell.
Inc mother was not greatly alarmed
by this, for since the DAYS of Cain, the
nrst recorded infant, it has been custom
AIRY tor paby boys to yell when they felt
like 1T. But soon the heat increased so
much that the baby, with one agonizing
scream, kicked the tub over and rolled
out on the floor, upsetting the gas stove,
drenchlng his mother with scalding
water, and summoning the affrighted
mother-in-law to the rescue. While
young MRS: ignorance was busy faint
ing, the old lady and the servants gath
cred up the parboiled infant and put
MN In q place Of safety. Thus does the
young woman who never learned in girl
mood become acquainted with the rela-
lons OF hot water to babies and of babies
70 not water. 1t is never too late to
learn.-PhflGdetphtz Times.

TEXT OF THE MONROE DOCTRINE


Is9a-
With the governments which have
declared their Independence and main
tanned it, and whose independence we
have, after great consideration and on
just principles, recognized, we could
not view any interposition for the puT-
pose of expressing them or controlling
in any manner their destiny by any Eu-
ropean power, in any other light than as
the manifestation of an unfriendly dis
position towards the United States"
1t has been asserted that Huskisson,
Franklin's friend, wrote this declaration
and transmitted it, with the consent of
Canning, his chief In the Cabinet, to j.
Q. Adams, who was Monroe's Secretary
of State.
The precise language, combining the
doctrine to the States recognized by the
United States, and excepting from it all
not free-including Canada, Cuba, in
deed the whole West Indies, Brazil,
Buenos Ayres favor this view. We do
not know whether il has ever been de-
MED.
J. q. Adams did subsequently, IN a
special message to Congress, say:
Most of the new American Republics
have declared their entire assent 10 them
(the Monroe declarations), and they now
propose, among the subjects of consid
Grafton at Panama, to take into consid-
Grafton the means of making effectual
the assertion of that principle, as well as
the means of resisting Interference from
abroad with the domestic concerns of
the American Governments.
The italics are in the message, and he
added subsequently:
1.-The purpose of this Government is
to incur in none which would import
hostility to Europe, or Justly excite re-
sentiment in any of her States.
90 Our views extend no further than a
mutual pledge of the parties to the
compact to maintain the principle in mp
phcation to it's own territory, and to per
NIT no colonial Judgments or establish
ments of European jurisdiction upon its
own soil. f"
This may be called Adams addition
to the Monroe doctrine, Clay being his
Secretary of State.
Adams addition, rather than Monroe's
verbiage, has remained In the popular
mind as the Monroe doctrine and even
Congress, in including that of the Con-
federation at Richmond, 1924, has al
ways SO treated it,
The Panama Congress, called by Boil
war, never adopted either Monroe's or
Adams text It indeed adjourned with
out fairly considering the doctrines
The members were, in fact, disappointed
that the United States had receded from
Monroe's declaration, and now proposed
:" that each State should, for itself, on
its own soil, resist European interior
| ence."
They wanted an American Conredera-
ton organized for the purpose of driving
out European jurisdiction.
The project turned out to be impracti-
cal, and was dropped even by South
| Americans.

SOME old wooden wheels were discov-
cred some years ago in the mines of
Portugal, supposed to have been once
used by the Romans for hydraulic pur-
poses. The wheels were eight IN num-
Der, the spokes and felloes of pine, and
the axle and its support of oak. They
are supposed to exceed l, $50 years of
age, yet the wood was in perfect state
of preservation, having been thoroughly
immersed in water charged with salts of
copper and iron. A similar instance
occurred IN San Domingo, an old wooden
wheel being discovered in disused
copper mine. How long it had been
there IS uncertain, but it was completely
preserved, owing to its having absorbed
considerable quantities of iron and cop
per. The preserving quality of these
minerals for the impregnation of wood
is well illustrated in The mines IF Hal
lien, Austria. the timber used being the
same Which was originally introduced
anterior to the Christian era, and which
is evel now In a perfect condition.

AS a general rule we do not PIN our
faith to specific remedies; but there Is
no excuse for skepticism in well developed
and authenticated facts. Since its intro
duction to the American public, the
great German Remedy, ST. Jacobs OH,
has adSanced with more rapid strides In
the estimation of the public than any
thing of similar character ever brought
into notice by the aid of extensive adver-
Using. We write this for the benefit OF
those who may be afflicted with the
divers ailments for which the oil Is an
nounced as specific remedy, and we are
induced to do this IN consequence OF the
proof of its curative power brought to
our notice proof voluntarily and CRATE
fully brought by people who have tested
its merit and are anxious to acknowledge
the great benefit derived. In the emu
meration of such people it Is necessary
to be specific, and to this end we have
obtained their permission to give their
names and addresses, in order that the
afflicted may have the advantage of
personal interview or postal correspond
ence. and In evidence that what we
write is a candid statement and not
mere putting advertisement. Mr.. Frank
Letcher, of No. 1921 West Fifth Street,
assures us that for n series OF years he
was Frustrated with rheumatism until
/ life became emphatically burden. He

and had lost all faith in the efficacy of

application afforded sensible relief: while

the infalltbility of St. Jacobs Oil. Aloyus
| Reidy, on the corner of Eastern Avenue
and Lewis Street, was afflicted for three
years in n similar manner, and Is now
hale and hearty, although he still con-
tinues the use of the oil.
G.. O'Callahan, of III Sycamore
Street, is another grateful witness to the
infallible power of the remedy, which,
he says, has made new man of him.
Thomas Lewis, of 81 Butler Street, was
for seven years afflicted with that dread
full malady, Sciatica, and being induced
to try st. Jacobs Oil, found almost i'm
mediate relief therefrom, and is now
perfectly cured. He is prepared to SUBJ
stantiate this statement under oath.
John Miller, of "a West Fifth Street,
was cured of complicated case of rheu-
matism of ten years standing, and George
Hollinger, who lives on the corner Of
Terrence and Columbia Avenues, adds
his testimony to its efficacy, and has
assured us that his pains were relieved
as if by magic.
The above statements are by well
known and respectable citizens of Gin
cinnati, and with all who know them will
carry conviction upon the face. Hence
it is we deem it matter of duty to suf-
fering humanity to give them all the
publicity in our power.
