Lecture to women.

and appreciation, and even the mother Or
Girls are not ashamed to believe and repeat
stories against their dear friends daughter,
whfchmay have no foundation In fact, and
which, even II trne, they have no means Of

Easton tMd.) Ledger.

A valentine seen by . Ledger reporter,
which was sent to girl In Eastcn by youth
in Washington, brings to mind the story Of .
name, and of a name Of note In Ameri-
can history. The name OF the sender Of the
Hissive is Return J. Meigs, and the same
Christian name has been In the Meigs family
for several generations. Many years ago, In
the ante Revolutionary days, Jonathan Meigs
courted young lady, who rejected his ad-
dresses. Meigs continued to love the girl,
and, though too preud and sensitive to try .
second time to win her, he determined never
to marry any one else, and TO live and die >
bachelor, unless she Of her own volition re-
Tented. After few years the lady did re-
lent, or perhaps got to know her own heart
better, and sent letter to her former sutton.
Meigs got the letter, and found in 1t only
TIVE words: Return, Jonathan" It was
enough Jonathan did return, and made her
his wife. Their first child was baptized
/" Return Jonathan" to commemorate the
brief letter that saved the Meigs family from
extinction, and from that day on to this
there has been . Return ]. Meigs In every
generation.

must not forget that these conceal rather

whispering airy nothings in the palace Of

the fiery Rupert to the charge, and marched
to fields Of carnage with the conquering
spears Of Cromwell. / have long ago got

not let me. Well, one day when was try

gusted in my life. Such fop-6nical and
priggish TO the last degree. Not wrinkle

we were going, we came to long line of
marshes with creek running through them,
and, crossing the marshes was causeway,
with bridge over the creek. Across the
marshes on hill was q party of gentlemen

never been introduced to one of them, but
they shot away at us just as socially as If
we had kept hens alongside their back yards

A New Friend with an Old Tongue.


Strolling about the streets of Frankfort one
day during Kermesse time, when GALL the
fun Of the fair" was In full swing, Henri
Vicuxtemps was induced to enter one of the
booths erected on the Goethe Platz by huge
picture adsrning Its exterior, and processing
to be the life-like portrait of the "Incompar-
able Indian Giant" on view inside. Of huge
stature and olive-tawny complexion, the
giant looked every inch of him like an over
grown Hindoo. While Vieuxtemps was
contemplating him with pensive interest, he
broke out into loud and voluble utterance,
accompanied by lively gesticulation. The
great violinist being totally unskilled in the
Oriental tongues, could scarcely believe his
ears when he found himself able TO UNDER
stand very word Of the Indian giants ora
ton. That son of Anak, as a matter Of fact,
was spouting Walloon, his as well us Vieux-
temps native idiom. As soon as he stepped
to take breath Vieuxtemps put question to
him In their common dialect. "For heavens
sake,n replied the alarmed colossus, lido not
betray me! If you tell the audience l am
ne Indian but brave Belgian, they will
pull down the booth about our ears @Your
secret Is safe with me-" said Vieuxtemps,
and addressing the bystanders, who had lis
tened TO the above colloquy with rapt asten-
tion, gravely informed them that he had
spent many years In the land Of Brahma,
vishnu and silva, to which circumstance
be owed his familiarity with the curious
language spoken BY their friend upon the
stage. So saying, he bowed respectfully to
his grateful conpatriot and quilted the booth
with al his blushing hsnors as m approved
Orientalist thick upon him.

The deep philosophy Of the Texas SVtings
has solved one Of the woman problems M
follows:
You can see IL down here In Texas al-
ready, and In short time 1t will make Ito
appearance all over the United States. Like
the prickly heat and boils, 1t comes out reg
ularly every spring. We refer to the spectre
Of the front yard. Perhaps the reader does
not quite understand our meaning. We re-
fer to the woman who plants shrubbery, and
grubs about generally, early every spring, In
the front yard. Early every spring the av-
erage woman, rich or poor, dresses herself In
faded calico dress, DISCUSSES herself In .
big poke bonnet, and, armed with . garden
rake, she gees prowling about like scare
crow on wheels, Niger with water pot
usually bringing up the rear of the process
sion. The question arises: Why does the
average female strive TO make herself so
hideous Is TO oil q dead man with distrust,
II he were TO walk past, when absut the
only returns for her trosble are q $40 rheu-
matte pain In her back, and a suggestion
from her husband that she hire wagon and

The reason why women win persist In fx-
Ing up garden ID simply because they can

M irresistible impulse. II Ii because their
ancestors did 20. Why, In the spring OF the
year, do picnics become epidemic, and old
and yeung, rich and poor, rush of into the
woods 10 eat their lunch under trees, and be

because for tens Of thousands OF years man
was In nonadic condition. He wandered
about with his family In the woods, living

ToxTCoPHOBIA.
Globe-Densocrdt.

GI0oc-DenaocTdI.
A day or two since there left the Planters
House, for Kansas, young man, Albert
remarkable form of insanity termed toxico-
phobia-a delusion that he would be pois-
oned. The young man is but fifteen years of
age, lives at Lincoln, Illinois, and was
brought here by his mother fer treatment by
DR.. c. Fl. Hughes. On the last 4th of July q
companion of the boy, without previous
warning, discharged pistol near his left ear.
The conclusion injured In some manner the
delicate structure of the brain, and ever since
he has been pursued by the delusien that he
is to be poisoned, and
By SOMETHING GREEN
In color. This qualifying fern of the mania
Is distinctly drawn. He eats freely and
heartily ct times of the food given him, his
neither, who superintends his feeding, being
careful that nothing like onions, lettuce, or
other vegetables of green hue, form part of
the meal. Should he get q glimpse of such
articles of food, he becomes restless and
fearful and will refuse all foed for a whole
day at q time. The sight of green curtain
or wallpaper affects him In the same manner
and be will net remain in an apartment
where the color can be seen. Helooks upon
ell living plants and trees as others do upon
poison ivy, and shrinks from the sight, while
contact, ever so slight,
FAIRLY APPALs HIM.
He is perfectly rational on all other points,
and is . young man of more than ordinary
intelligence. Under the fretfulness and rest
lessness consequent upon his mania, his
health Is poor. The case is not considered
incurable, and was the subject of the deepest
and most earnest study upon the part of DR..
Hughes during the boys stay here. A gen.
tleman recently returned from Mexico stated
yesterday that toxicephobia was not an un-
usual form of mania in that country. A dis
tinguished Mexican General died of starva-
ton recently who feared poison in all his
food, and who lived for four months upon
boiled eggs, which he opened himself, that
being the only form of nutriment that he
could be induced to partake of.

JAPAN MARRIAGES.
The Relations OF the Sexes Adjusted by .
Very Simple Process.

Marriage In Japan Is an institution un-
known as religious sacrament, or as legal
contract, pronounced or ratified by any civil
officer or court. 1t Is the simplest form of
matrimonial union that can be conceived
under the name of marriage. II Ia simply
this: When the child is born and named In
Japan, 1t Is registered in the official register
of the district where the parents reside. II
at any time the person removes to another
province he takes his registration from where
he Is leaving and 10 registered 1t his new
home. There Is no Japanese living unreg-
istered. When the man wishes to take .
wife, and the consent Of the selected one Is
obtained, or that of her parents, the hus-
band that Is to be appears at the office Of the
registration, and there registers the name
Of the woman as his wife, and the woman Is
then known and considered ~ his sacred
property, to have and to hold as long a. he
likes, and no longer. III this man wishes for
more female companionship than bis wife
affords him, he contracts for and registers
another woman az bis mistress, ana sne 10
thus known and regarded as a member Of
his household. The manner of divorce Is
just as easy as the marriage; that is, If the
man desires, as be only can divorce. All
that Is done Is for the man to give the woman
what Is known as the ''three lines and half
of paper" stating to her that she Is no long
er considered by him as his wife. She Is
then unmarried and can take her maiden
name. The registry Is made to show this
fact and the two are "quits." On the other
hand, there is no power that can divorce the
husband from the wife-the woman is pow
erless to act as against the man. Divorce Is
the prerogstive Of the husband, uncontrolled
by any power whatever; he alone binds and
he alone can loose.

One Of the FIRST men In North Carolina Is
responsible for the truth of the following
story: He met near Asheville, N. c., among
lot of railroad hands, a white man whom
he had known before In one of the eastern
counties of the State, and whose family he
knew to be excellent people. After the usu-
al salutations, the gentleman inquired of
him about his kinfolks down east. "Oh,"
said he, 81 know nothing about those peo-
ple," with an air OF great contempt. "Why,
what's the matter? Are you net friendly
with them?" "No, sir; I have had nothing
to do with them since they dsgraced them
selves by voting the radical ticket" Subse-
quent conversation developed the fact that
the high-toned gentleman who had been
thus degraded by his kin was one of the PEN
itentiary railroad convicts serving out .
