Protesting AGAINST Worry.

The London Lancet enters its protest
from medical point of view against
overwork and worry. We have, it says,
too many irons in the fire, too much
business on hand at the same in
slant, and are far too energetic
in our endeavors. With delibera-
ton. calmness, and such reserve
of strength as result. from perfect re-
straint, man may do an infinity of work
without either trouble or injury. Breath
less haste, eager anxiety, and excessive
expenditure of energy are the outcome
of modern activity, whether in this coun-
try or on the continent. The system of
"quick returns has been the bane of
literature, almost extinguishing it and
substituting in its place Journalism"
The same system has revolutiOnized
thought and science, and is rapidly un-
dermining the human constitution.
Statesmen and politicians are kept on
the strain of sustained attention. and
their brains are for many hours in the
twenty-four, whether in or out of parlia-
ment. in condition of ferment. The
brains of spectators on the stock ex-
change, and even the brains of mer-
chants in their private rooms are equally
taxed, and in the same way. All
classes of the community share the tur-
MOL. The period is one of brainwear-
ing impetuosity. of hurry, worry and
waste-the waste of cerebral energy and
nerve force The only marvel is that,
looking to the utterly unphysiological
character of our mental and nervous
| habits of work, the number of sudden
failures is not greater than it is, and
that we have not larger brain mortal
ity to deplore.

ssIncle Billy,s, Visit.


Uncle Billy Cramer, the venerable
editor of the Wisconsin, interviewed
the Jersey Lily at the Plankinton house
yesterday afternoon, with Frank Flower
as body guard, supporting a beautiful
bouquet OF flowers. The news that the
event was to take place spread through
the house with great rapidity, so that
when the little darkey knocked at the
door of ''me ladye's'' apartments and
announced the visitors, standing room
in the immediate vicinity was at
premium. The usher earned the thanks
of the outsiders by planting his seven
by nine foot in the doorway in such a
manner that it could not be closed, and
good view of the meeting between
age and beauty was obtained. The
gallant old gentleman. seized one of
the Lily's hands, raised to his lips and
imprinted thereon resoundlng kiss
The beauty returned the compliment
by planting smack with her rosy lips
upon Uncle Billy's cleft duke before
he had time to recover his equipose

piled the Lily in a STACEY voice, AS she
patted him on the back with her right
hand, with gentle, soothing taps, and
toying with his chin in playful man
ner with her left. Thus having broken
the ice, Uncle Billy removed his sound
ing pan to exclaim Beautiful! beauti-
ful!' and then, placing the pan under
his arm, he stretched forth his hands,
the Lily gracefully arched her neck and
stopped to receive the supposed bless
ing, when the digits descended and be-
gan scratching an accompaniment over
her Uranium while he sang in the key of

Which They Prefer.

Marked preference is shown by vari-
Gus royal ladies in Europe for particular
kinds of fur. The Empress of Russia,
of course, always wears sable. The
Empress Of Austro- Hungary will have
nothing but astrachan, while her daugh-
ter-in-law, the Archduchess Stephanie,
wears only otter. The Queen Of Rou-
mania cares little what fur she wears,
so it be gray in color, while the Queen
of Holland prefers marten, and Her
Majesty of Spain bestows her patronage
upon the beaver.

Not Permitted to Prove Her Capacity.

Washington Letter: EV-Secretarv
Boutwell, did more to encoulag the
promotion of women than any other
cabinet officer has ever done. He put
lady in charge of a division in the bu-
reau of internal revenue, who still re-
tains that position, and think receives
the same salary as other chiefs of divis-
ion. She is delicate full-looking little
woman, with will and energy that ex-
ceeded her physical strength. But she
has fine executive ability, and will wear
out, but will never grow rusty in the
harness. In promotions the secretary
must rely on bureau officers for
knowledge of the efficiency of clerks.
Some heads of bureaus are not in favor
of promoting women. They cannot
separate the woman from the clerk,
and thinks she receives more than she
could earn outside. This may be Just
as true of the head as the subordinate.
He may receive more pay for his work
than he could earn outside, but have
yet to meet the bureau officer who
thinks his salary too great for his SER
vices. Women are rarely ever permit
ted TO attempt the adjustment of ac-
counts, and yet this is sometimes Of
fered as II reason for not promoting
them. The real truth is that they are
not allowed to do such work. 1t is no
more trouble to teach an intelligent
woman such work than to teach an in
teligent man. Custom has made ac-
counts almost the exclusive work of
men, and because, at the beginning,
women are appointed as copyists, and

act of congress made them eligible to
clerkships, and some of them possess
the ability to adjust accounts if they
were allowed to do 50. Sometimes
woman is ambitious and would be glad
to earn promotion by doing more diff
ticut work. She has demands upon her
rs great as man, and she would be glad
to work harder to make more money to
aid those dependant upon her. She
She may be a single woman, aiding in
the support of parents and sisters, per-
haps both, or possibly a widow with
children to support. If she is equally
as efficient clerk as man, why
should she not get the same salary, if
she can do and is willing to do the same
work? am not prejudiced, but stu
pidity is stupidity, whether masculine
or feminine. The only difference is that
the government pays more for stupid
mans work than n stupid woman's
work, for there are those who have to
DO "helped OUT on accounts, even after
several years experience and teaching,
and woman would not make a greater
failure if allowed to Try the same work.
But so long as she is not permitted to
prove whether she can or cannot do it,
it should not be used as an argument
against her promotion, because she does
not adjust accounts.

Matrimonial Mixtures.

AS 2,65i girls under 20 years of age
were married in this city during 1852,
it can hardly be complained that early
marriages have declined. Neverthe-
lees, from 20 to % years is the favorite
age for brides, 1862 women within
those limits having entered wedlock.
As is deemed proper, the age of men at
marriage is shown to be greater than
that of their brides, but .20i youths
under 20 having married in this city
during 1882. There were 1922 from
20 to Is married, and 1882 from Is to
80. The number of men under 80 when
married was 1868. and the number of
women under 30 was 9,434. There
were 1,012 men married who were more
than 40, but 403 women, showing that
the matrimonial chances of women are
exhausted sooner than those of men.
One benighted old Benedick of 1882 is
more than 80. The whole number of
marriages. 1885, was too small for the
immense population of Manhattan Is
