THERE seems to be a rage just now
among people who are afflicted with dys-
pepsia to drink a glass of hot water be-
fore breakfast. Astonishing cures are
reported /; but, on the whole, it seems
that the d%yspeptics who are loudest in
their praises of the hot-water cocktail
are the ones who have not yet tried it.
They are about equally divided with the
people who praise the juice of oranges
in the morning. The man who praises
the juice of apples before breakfast and
all the time lives numerously in New
Jersey.

what a Woman Thinks of Bachelors
and Married Men.

and Married Men.
GA bachelor life makes a man cold
and SELFISH" I remarked to my wife.
" He becomes afflicted, metaphorically
speaking, With o~ssification of the
heart"
"f q bachelor life makes a man more
selfish than are most married men," re-
piled Guiana, 81 am sorry for him. But
I cannot believe it."
1 gazed at her inquiringly.
Il mean" she went on, "that all the
married men I aver saw were infinitely,
comprehensively and egotistically self
ish. A bachelor, as a rule, can harm no
one by his selishness. It spends itself
~subjectively. Like the asp, he must
sting himself. But with a married man
it is different. His selfshness (Which is
another name for the consultation of
ones own feelings, the indulgence of
ones own bad temper), has an objective
outlet. The objects are his family.
When a bachelor is out of sorts, tired,
vexed by business troubles, he does not
use it as a pretext for making his COM
panions miserable. Not so with the
head of q family. He returns at the
close of the day out of temper. We will
suppose hat the family is i a pleasant
frame of mind-perhaps laughing and
TESTING. Enter husband, a scowI on his
brow, black blood in his heart. The
domestic barometer rapidly falls. The
spirits of all go with it. Dinner is con-
Quoted in the midst of a forced silence,
or perhaps it Is seasoned with stinging
remarks from the head of the table.
When every nj is rendered thoroughly
miserable, his spirits rise. He has
transferred his troubles to his kin, as
the Israelites did theirs tothe scapegoat.

Guiana" said I, warmly, "I always
thought you had some sense, but I see I
have been wrong. 1 heard such
cursed nonsense in all my ife."
And, from my standpoint, Inever did.

Costly Toilets OF Stage Celebrities.
Annie Louise Gary, modest in expendi-
ture, says that her wardrobe for last year,
although she is not by any means the
gorgeous creature whom Worth dresses,
cost $40, 600.
From that, says a correspondent, we
may get a starting point. American
actresses dress more extravagantly than
any women in the world. The foreign
ers who appear before the American
public usually come plainly dressed, but
they are made to understand that Co.'S
tuning is q part of their art. Nine.
Gerster has been wearing the same
clothes ever since her first appearance
here, not that she is accused of neve

her money in bank instead of wearing
it on her back.

Wrecked Women.

The wisdom of this age must see that
this constant never-ending wear and tear
of mind and muscle must and does make
wrecks of women that it enfeebles the
body and dwarfs the mind !; that it pre-
vents women from developing healthy,
stout-limbed, full-lunged and broad
chested offsprings that for a proper
mental and physical development there
shouldbe each day some period ofabsolute
waking rest and leisure for recuperation,
for social enjoyment, for the cultivation
of some special pursuit, for getting COM
pletely outside of and from the home
cares, and thereby getting back to them
stronger and better hat the poor of all
degrees are as much entitled to such
leisure as the rich that physical ex-
haustion perpetuated in the child is n
great source of vice and crime that
Guiteau himself of this may be cited as
a fearful proof, the testimony at the trial
showing that his mother was overworked
previous to his birth, and thereby he
came into the world malformed as to
cranial developments moral monstros-
ity.
There must be a number of screws
loose somewhere in the domestic and
social machinery, AND I think chief
among these are lack of method, lack of
forethought, lack of calculation, lack of
consideration and appreciation by men
of the extent and exhausting character
of woman's domestic indoor work. All
of which, summed up, amounts to the
lack, in many quarters, of the recog-
milton of tile care of the house, care of
the family and care of the table at a sci
ence.-Prentice Mulford.

MY First Love.

~
His hair was black as ravens wing,
He had the brow Of q King;
His eyes were luminous wells Of gray,
And how the creature could singh
/ fell in love with his long mustache,
Twas grand, twas utterly too;
I laid my heart at my hero's feet
As schoolgirls frequently do.
I might have married him-I can't tell
He loved me alone, he said;
But he robbed our house one winter night
OF all our jewels, and fed.
We met once more. He was caught and tried
2 Alas ! his mustache was gone;
Without 4 wig, his hair was as red
As any the sun shine on.

Before the breakfast table stands,

In anxious love his Aunt exclaims.
"Why, Aunt, it really is too bad,

His portion of the mornings post.

In imitation of his betters,

Who put plain Mr. on my letters"

But pauses with an angry frown
To give one note closer glance.

And must always be Esquire?
