WOnlen,S Pets.

The relations between women and the
dumb animals whom they keen and
adore form a very interesting and COM
pick question. The lady who is given
to horses and to dogs regards them with
a feeling altogether different from those
entertained by men, who are, in a sense,
equally devoted to both. Love, there is
poetlcal Authority for saying, makes up
the whole sum of the existence of wom-
en-, and is o thing apart to the life of a
man and the woman who has passion
for her stable and her kennel seldom
finds time for anything else. The dog
which she pets and the horse which she
rides have a more vivid personality than
they could possess for the sluggish soul
of any of the lords of creation. The
most enthusiastic panegyrists of animals
have been women. Kingsley and White
Melville both of them loved dogs and
horses, and described what may be
called their inner life and emotions with
pathos and power. Katerfelto is mon
ument reared by loving, as well as 10y
a knowing, hand to an immortal steed.
But one must go to the novels of Ouida
to find what dumb-animal worship really
Is. No doubt the animals themselves
are perfectly aware of the intensity of
the affection which they awake in the
breasts of their mistresses. They do
their best to reciprocate it, and thus
there springs up between the dog or the
horse and the lady a sentiment which is
one of more than intelligent friendship,
and almost approaches to the verge of
romantic attachment.

Success in Public Speaking.

pressions of subject are valuable, how
ever much he may modify them; read
extensively the cream of the best au-
thors upon the subject; then give the
best thoughts to applying what has
been learned by the first impressions.
In regard to gaining control of the
audience it must be borne in mind that
there is but little difficulty the first
time because mere curiosity and sympa-
thetic interest will assure it. This fact
often ruins a speaker by making him
over-confident the second time, thus
leading to failure. A man should never
assume that he is to control his audience
without the utmost skill
One element of Coughs success is
that he always appreciates how easy it
is to lose his audience. An audience
will always give its unreserved atten-
ton to any one who is telling something
Understandings that they didn't know
before. AS permanent investment it
is worth infinitely more to impart
knowledge clearly and concisely than to
tell the most racy stories.
An audience will give its unreserved
attention when it is known there is to
be something entirely new well told. A
man must talk for the sake of his audi
ence, and not for his own sake
The multitude of takers are failures
because they have no foundation for
permanent success, have never acquired
intelligent self-control, have not learned
to hold an audience. These are not
gifts, they are acquisitions. A man
must train himself to read widely, think
keenly, speak only when he has some
thing worth saying, and say it so con-
cisely and clearly that it is no serious
effort for them to take and keep the
fact or theory given them. E. VIM

Istsnlon IOf women. This Is q cnauge
from the prevailing style of the past.
The proper mouth now, says the New
York Graphic, is worn in a constant but
mild smile. the corners drawn back hori-
zontally with the lips left closed. The
expression is one of amiable, quiet sat
isiaction with all the world-as though
the mind was free from sorrow and the
feet free from corns. Care should be
taken not to broaden this into an active
grin except on mirthful occasions nor
should the lips be compressed. All
should be in repose. The lips may be
Redeemed, If the natural color be too
light. A practice of painting the ex-
posed membrane of the upper lip broad
and bright just at the center has crept
In, but it is bad, for it gives an artificial
and sensuous look. The fashionable
belle has cut the pickering string of
her mouth, and no longer murmurs
"prunes, prunes, prunes." She can
kiss two men simultaneously and give
good satisfaction, where before only one
could find room at time. The reader
who supposes that the above is fanciful
and not plain, straightforward fashion
news is very much mistaken. Women
can change the style of their faces, if
not at viii, at least considerably. The
hair over the forehead can be SO ar
ranged as to produce any desired out
line for the upper part of the face; the
mouth can be made to widely vary its
expression, the eyes can be kept partly
wide open or languidly half closed; the
cheeks can be rounded by using
"plumpers, the eyebrows can be
arched or Strengthened the color can
be controlled to a high degree. Thus
it is apparent that woman can, if clever.
have to some extent the kind of face she
wants. The nose is about the only in
tractable feature. It strikes right out
in unalterable independence, defying all
efforts to shorten or straighten it. Let
me interpolate the fact that not one
woman in ten ever laughs or smiles nat
urally. Knowing full well our defects
OF teeth or expression, we try to hide or
reform them. I know girl who will
never go to the minstrels or other shows
because she isn't pretty when shelaughs.
If inadvertently caught by something
comic, she buries the laugh in a hand
kerchief; but, whenever possible, she
does her laughing internally. This
wrenches her terribly, and sooner or
later her vitals will get broken all to
pieces but she prefers death to dis
play of scraggy teeth.

A Word TO the BOYS.

Ashamed of work, boys, good, hard,

you-ashamed that you know so little
about great men. Open your old
Roman history now and read of Cincin-
natus. On the day when they wanted
to make him dictator, where did they
find him? In the field blowing. What
about Marcus GURUS, who drove Pyr-
rhus oIt of Italy? Look him up; you
will find him busy on his little farm.
The great Cato. you have surely heard
of him-he rose to all the honors of the
Roman state-yet he was often seen at
work in his field with the slaves. Scipio-
Africanus, who conquered Hannibal and
won Carthage for Rome. was not
ashamed to labor on his farm. Lucretia,
one of the noblest Roman NATIONS.
might have been seen many q day spin
ming among her maidens. Better even
than the example of noble Romans is
the advice of the wise man: "What-
ever thy hand findeth to do, do it with
thy might" Better than this, even, are
the New Testament words "Not sloth-
full in business, iervent in spirit, serv-
ing the Lord"
There after this you willfeel ashamed
not to work.

No Rad Fathcrs-in.Lnw.

No doubt it is more difficult for a
woman to suppress her Indignation, to
conceal irritation, to ignore unpleasant
ness, to feel or affect indifference; but
you see, madame, we are not inquiring
into causes, but as to the fact. Women
are declared to havemore tact than men;
so they have in some social things, but
IN important things [ think not. 1t is,
for instance, the lack of tact on the part
OF women that sets clique against clique
IN congregations and church societies of
all kinds; that causes almost all associa-
lions organized by women to break up
III differences; that keeps so many peo-
pie IN hot water in family hotels and
bOardlng-hOuses, or wherever lovely
woman predOminates. 1t is to q lack of
tact that we owe the traditional mother
in-law. Fathers-in-law have no bad
regulations anywhere. May not say
this is because they have too much tact
to interfere, too much tact to notice
trifies, too much tact to be fussy and
irritating in matters that should wisely
be let alone? Does not any woman real
ize how much tact men are found to ex-
hibit in order to successfully keep their
places in life? 1t has been shrewdly
doubted, youkEow, whether clubs would
be possible with ladies, not merely be-
cause they 1--we not the club DISPOSE
ton, but because they cannot abide to-
gether without G %sing into hostile divis-
ions. 1t takes I. good deal of tact to
meet daily on familiar and equal terms
with numerous persons and keep all
irritating things out of sight. The club
is possible in the highest civilization
only because nothing but the self-re-
preston that comes of the highest social
training permits men of diverse interests
and tastes to come together harmoni-
ously. The club affords an excellent test
Of tact, and if men are better adapted
than women for club lifc-if they can
live together in this way without coils
ions-they have established the pos
session Of tact more effectually than even
the requirements of the drawing-room
establish it for women.

sons interested in the project say they
would be compelled at first to do pusi-
ness through those houses and give
them the lions share of the profits. The
railroads are SO strongly opposed to hav-
ing their enormous traffic in live cattle
replaced by the traffic in dressed beef
which would reduce the bulk of freight
and their profits to a small fraction Of
the present figures-that it is believed
they would cooperate with the firms
which now control the shipping of
dressed beef from Chicago, to maintain
their monopoly and restrict the business.
1t is said that double rates are charged
by he railroads on the dressed beef now
sent eastward by a few firms in the far
west. A firm in Miles City has been
sending considerable quantities during
the last six months to points along the
Northern Pacific railroad, and hopes
soon to reach st. Paul, Minneapolis, and
other large cities further east. The pro-
fits have been fair, Notwithstanding the
double rates charged by the railroads.
1t is difficult to understand why, other
obstacles being removed, the cattle
Talsers Of Montana cannot find a way Of
sending their beef through to New York
in refrigerator cars without paying trib-
ute to the Chicago men. Anything that J
would cheaper the price of wholesome |

it most, to give them strength for work.

Dressed Beef From Montana.

The experiment of shipping dressed
beef from Chicago to the east has been
watched with considerable interest by
persons extensively engaged in cattle
raising in the far west, especially in
Montana Territory. It has yielded re-
suits SO satisfactory to its promoters that
tie plan Of slaughtering cattle on the
great ranges in Montana. where they
are fatted, and sending the beef in re-
frigerator cars to New York and New
England is now seriously talked of.
1t is held that there are two reasons
why the Chicago dressed beef is not in
perfect condition when it arrives in this
market. First, the cattle on their ar
rival at the Chicago yards, though in
better condition than if they had made
the longer journey to New York, are not
fit to be killed; and secondly, no refrigera-
tor car has yet been invented which pre-
serves the evenness of temperature that
is necessary to keep the dressed beef in
perfect order. Persons who claim to be

say that a refrigerator car which should
wholly answer the purpose for which
those cars are designed would be worth
at least a million dollars to its inventor.
and they believe that with inducement
SO great it will not be long before an al
most perfect refrigerator car will be
made. With such a car, they say, beef
slaughtered in prime condition on the
Montana ranges may be delivered in
New York in a state which shall do
away with all the objections now raised
against the beef that is sent here from
the Chicago slaughter houses. The
greatest obstacles. then, to the success of
the project, it is said, would be the OBJ
position of the great firms who are in
that line Of business in Chicago and the
opposition of the railroads. The first
mentioned obstacle is so great that per-
