Why Women Know More Than Men.

Timblethorpe came home rather late
the other night with five hundred dol
lars, more or less, In his vest pocket.
Before he went down stairs he recollect-
ed that there ought to be a good deal Of
money in the lower right hand pocket of
his vest, and he felt there to discover if
it was all right. 1t was all wrong, how
ever, for it was not there. During the
night it had mysteriously disappeared,
and this filled him with dismay, for he
had a large note to meet that day. "Per-
haps," he said to himself, for he had not
yet informed Mrs. Timblethorpe of his
loss, perhaps it has dropped upon the
floor" He therefore searched in every
nook and corner of his chamber, but the
missing treasure was not to be found,
and Timblethorpe made his way slowly
to the next story below, where his mourn
full face at once attracted the attention
of his wife.
''What is the matter with you, Tim
othy," she gasped; ''are you illP''
'Yes," he replied, 81 have lost my ap-
petite"
''Is that allP' she continued, in q re-
lieved tone that was not untinged with
asperity.

with it," thundered Timblethorpe, who
could contain himself no longer.
''Oh, you must have it in your pockets
somewhere" answered his wife; E'have
you looked in them allP'
''Only in one where I put it; why
should l turn all my garments inside
outP''
Mrs. Timblethorpe approached him,
and insisted upon feeling in his vest
pockets, and he was too detected to re-
sist. Finally, from the upper right hand
vest pocket she drew forth, with a tri-
umphant air, the missing roll of bills.
1t was q pocket he only used for the re-
ception of cigars, and he could not ac-
count for the presence of the money
there. Mrs. Timblethorpe, however,
could, though she said nothing for after
extracting a fifty dollar bill from the
pile some time before, she had, quite
naturally placed the money in the wrong
pocket.-B0St07a Courier.

Always Send Copies.

The parents of original verses sent to
newspapers frequently ask that the verses
be returned in case they are not used,
says the New Orleans Ptc0yst'ae. This
is asking too much. 1t would be much
safer to keep them at home i'll the first
place. They never would be missed at
the newspaper Office, and in cases where
there is the slightest desire on the part
of the author for the possession of orig
inal poems, it is best not to trust said
poems to the tender mercies of mail car
riers, or editors, even. Always send
copies, and rest the heart as to their

A Warning to Doctors.

The Chinese authorities of Shanghai
recently issued quaint decree respect.
ing the neglect of physicians to attend
at once on their patients, and the high
fees which they charge. They give
notice that it is the duty of all physicians
to use their knowledge for the benefit OF
the people; when people are sick they
must be ready to attend upon them when
ever they are sent for, without regard
ing the hour of the night or day, or the
state of the weather. When people are
ill they long for the presence of the doc
tor as the grain of seed longs for the
rains. Instead of doing this, however,
the physicians now think that they pos
sess great skill, and not only charge
high fees, but insist on being paid full
hire for their chair coolies, and they do
not care what becomes of the patient 50
that they get their fees. If these were
only charged to the wealthy it would
not be so much matter; but the poor
have to pay them also. An evil practice
(the decree goes on) also exists by which
doctors will not visit their patients be-
fore / o'clock in the afternoon. Some
will even smoke opium and drink tea
until late in the evening, These are
abuses, the magistrates say, which they
will on no account permit. Doctors
must attend to their patients at all times.
They must, if necessary, visit them sever
al times daily; they must think more OF
them and less of their fees. Notice,
therefore, is given to all physicians and
people that physician who does not
attend when he is called must only re-
ceive half his fees and half his chair hire.
eff you physicians delay your visits you
show your wickedness, and sin against
yourselves" The decree is model one
for paternal government; argument,
entreaty, objurgation, exposition, threats,
are all mingled in due proportions

Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat
Washington, d. c., March 3.-At the cabi-
net meeting this afternoon it was noticed that
Attorney General Brewster was the only alb
sentee, and this was explained to be on &C
count of the hearing of an important case in
the supreme court, in which he made his first
appearance on behalf Of the government. No
reference whatever was made to the question
of Mr.. Conkling' acceptance of the vacancy
on the supreme court bench, and in fact no
one present seemed anxious to bring up the
subject. The business transacted related
principally to routine department matters The
session was not protracted beyond an hour.
A prominent member of the cabinet stated
his opinion was that none except Mr.. Conk-
ling himself knew what his intentions in the
matter were, and that he did not believe that
he had communicated them to the president

The Electric Light.

Last night was severe test upon the cleo
trio light. We called this morning at the
company's headquarters and found everybody
cheerful over the perfect working Of the ma
chinery and the beauty and perfection Of the
light produced. The light was successfully
produced during the rain and thunder storm
last night. The machine, and the engine and
boiler are all very compact. The electric ma
chine bears the name of Weston, and is
beauty, as near perfection as it seems possible
to bring such machinery. The Weston ma
chine is among the inventions controlled by
the United States Electric Lighting company,
powerful corporation with millions at their
back, we wonder how long our little gas COM
pany will be enabled to buldoze the electric
light company under all the circumstances
Our gas company has had its day of useful
ness, in fact it has still sphere Of usefulness,
but there is no denying the fact that it has
been monopoly, and one largely kept up at
the public expense, no wonder people hail any
prospect for relief and for we'll directed oppo-
sition. But the mere reduction of gas, to
break down the electric light, will not accom-
plish it, as this is too progressive an age to
stop the introduction of great invention like
the electric light, any more than the low cost
of coal oil or candles can destroy gas.

What Judge NOOnan KNOWS About Streets'
Judge Noonan has been overlooked by the
Express interviewer, but nevertheless the
Judge has views on the subject of streets, and
believes that good roads can be built of our
quarry rock, and that the expense of building
streets can be greatly lessened by building a
temporary railway to the rock beds. The
judge expressed these views in the presence of
number of people this morning, evidently he
had not paid strict attention to what COL B.
D. said on that subject.

Saturday, to the Reading Jail. The solicitor
of his family writes that he possesses certif-
Gates of eminent physicians of Mandesly and
Goodrich, Of the existence of mental aberra-
ton in the prisoner, of long standing, and that
they have no hesitation in saying that there
will be no difficulty in establishing the fact of
his insanity. One doctor adds that it is true
that the prisoner is the same person who at
tempted to wreck a railway train in 1871, and
that he was formerly confined in Wells asy-
lum, but that it is untrue that two doctors OF
Windsor had declared him sane.

A dispatch from Washington in this

esting details of Guiteau's sentence.
This particular event was looked forward
to as coming in due course of legal pro-
cedure and as a mere sentence arouses no
new interest. The remarks Of Judge
Cox, however, giving his reasons for the
latitude allowed the accused will be
eagerly read and must be accepted,
if not as satisfactory, at least
as afording excellent ground for
the extraordinary indulgence granted.
II were better that the dignity
of the Court should be impaired
in so extraordinary a case-one in which
the whole world is interested, and in the
proceedings Of which much OF the spirit
Of our institutions is Rehabilitation
than in trying to preserve it intact in all
its starchiness and form, any encroach-
ment on even the assassin's privileges
should be hazarded. The people revere
the Judges of their Courts, but they are
very Jealous of their liberties. More

A SMALL DEVICE.

The champions Of the Sunday law in
California have not been altogether dis
Greet, it seems, nor have they been alto
gether fair or honorable in their crusade.
This will appear from their method of
taking in q corner groceryman, which
they did triumphantly two Sundays ago
in San Francisco. He was fined for vio-
lating the Sunday law and he paid his
fine. But the contempt Of that poor
grocer for cunning crusaders who en-
trapped him will do their cause more
harm than his punishment can possibly do
ii good. This is the way they did IL,
On the Sunday in question his store was
closed, as it is his habit only to keep it
open a short time in the morning. Two
men rang the door-bell. He answered,
and one of them asked him to sell him q
box Of backing. The grocer replied
that the store wa closed and he didn't
care to do any more business that day,
but the other insisted, pleading that his
boots wanted blacking and that there
was no bootstand within several blocks.
So the accommodating grocer sold him a
ten-cent box Of backing and was duly
arrested.

The beautiful Mrs. Langtry has stood
the test OF the footlights, and unless her
complexion gives way will attract the

respondent writes Of her frat appearance
1t did not seem to disturb Mrs. Langtry's

found 1t no more trying to walk on the
Haymarket stage from the front wings
than to walk into the drawing room Of the
Marlborough House. There was not q
sign OF emotion on her peach-colored
cheek, which, 1t may be said in passing,
bore no trace Of having been "made up,"
but which by and by flushed and paied
with excitement, as II used TO in private

yellow, low in the neck, but covering the
shoulders. and al amber satin petticoat,

fsctly and suiting well with the delicate

The purity Of her complexion has not

the soft fullness Of her violet eyes, which
can only be described by the epithet which
Homer bestowed on the Queen OF the
Gods-ox-eyed-which Is voted too homely
In our days. The setting Of the eye and
the molding OF the temples. over which
the dark brown hair falls, are equally fine;
the lines Of that part Of the head, pure
