About Women,

A bachelor editor, referring to the
unhappy man who has had a bad wife,
says that she is shackless on his feet,
a palsy to his hands, a burden on his
shoulders, smoke to his eyes. vinegar to
his teeth, a thorn to his side, a dagger
to his heart.
1t is said of Benjamin p. Cheney, a
Boston millionaire, that he waited many
years for a beautiful widow to marry
him, which she had agreed to do when
she had raised her daughter. The waiting
becoming too deliberate he marie the
daughter, who loved him wi hout condi-
tions, and size made him a noble wife.

there are now no fewer than leo female
clerks, who receive three francs TO com

after a year or two's service, rises to
1900 francs and at the Paris offices Of

A Famous Pistol Shot.

Personally, Captain Gronow was a
remarkably handsome man, always
faultlessly dressed, and generally popu-
lar in society. But, as we have already
remarked, he says little about himself in
his "reminiscences and, beyond the
fact of a casual allusion to his marvellous
skill as a plstol-shot. We learn nothing
of his accomplishments from his books.
He and Captain Ross were, by the way
unquestionably the two best pistol shots
in the world. Captain Ross was in
timately acquainted with Gronow, and
has given the following authentic ac-
count of "a celebrated duel, in the Bots
de Boulogne, in which the latter was
engaged Granow's antagonist was a
notorious French bully, famed for his
deadly skill with the pistol. ''Gronow,"
says Captain Ross, ''told US the story,
lie said hat the Frenchman stuck his
glove on a tree, and, in a staggering
tone asked Gronow which finger he
should hit aud. after hitting the glove,
he said to Gronow FL will serve you
in the same way. Captain Hesse
tGrOnoW's second, afterward killed in a
duel said to him you must do some-
thing to try and shake that fellows
nerve so he threw up his hat in the
air, and Gronow put his bullet through
it, and then, bowling to the FIenehman,
said 'H0nsieur, roila Uotrs destine 2 A
few minutes and the destiny was full
filed. Gronow was anything but a
quarrelsome or bullying person. At
tempts were made several times to get
up a match between him and myself,
but he would not go into it. He told
me that since his duels in Paris the
fought two he could not bear the sight
of a pistol. 1t would have been a rare
match, as neither of us had wei been
beaten and, as we never tried u skill
together, it is impossible to say who
would have won. At very long ranges
from fifty to a hundred yards) | proba-
bly, would have had the best of it, as ]
practieed a good deal at those ranges
Captain Gronow's later years wers
passed in Paris, where he died on the
10th OF November, 1865, in the 72d veal
of his age.

The Cholera.

Some time since we alluded to the
rayages of this. fell destroyer of the
human family, and of the possibility of
a recurrence Of its visitation to our
shores. We enlarged at that time, but
now simply suggest that the possibility
of its presence in western Europe, and
if 50, the strong probability of its adj
n towards America, justify the
National, State and municipal authori-
ties in exercising the utmost vigilance
in enforcing a rigid quarantine. Fore
warned is forearmed. Sanitary rules
enforced is one of the greatest barriers
to the march of the seourge. Each
administrative body should see to it,
that no method that tends to promote
cleanliness should be neglected other
wise, we may have a visit of the disease
with its attendant calamities much
sooner than many would think. We
are no alarmists, but it is better to
realize that an " ounce Of prevention is
better than a pound of cure. II the
cholera should come, however, we
would suggest-with the consent of
course of Your family physician-the
following remedy We used in one case
with marked success in 1919.
Our physician, an eminent one he
was, DR.. Doyle, said to the writer a
month before the epidemic made its
appearance, Purchase a bottle Of pure
brandy, a vial each of spirits of amme-
MIA, laudanum, and peppermint place
this near your bedside at once, and
don't let them be disturbed, thus form
ing "A habit of keeping them within
reach for an emergency, as there is no
time to search for remedies when the
disease attacks you in the night" We
obtained the articles. The cholera
made its appearance, and a member of
the family had what is termed several
rice water IS discharges. We at once
gave the prescription-half a tumbler
OF brandy, sixty drops of laudannm, ten
drops of the spirits of ammonia, and
twenty drops Of peppermint, covering
at the same time the bowels and stom-
mach with mustard. 1t was heroic
treatment, but the cure was prompt.
After this, send FOR a physician. Thor

A Dude in the Wild, Wild West.

Worth'S Costumes and His
Customers,

Mrs. Emma King, an English dress
reformer, in a recent speech waXed in
dignant at Mr.. Worth and uttered the
wild wish that he might be drowned in
the Seine, and she summed up the
greater part of her sex as a pack of in
durable dress maniacs. Whoa, Emma !
You de not know Nj. Worth. During
most charming conversation W it'll him
On the subject of feminine dress, he
gave the information that he approves
most decidedly of dress reform. He
advocates the Persian costume for
women, and would like to invent a
sensible dress for them if they would
YEA it after it was made. But they
will not. He tried the plan once and it
dismally failed. The convenient, pretty
and really graceful dress hangs "a lone
ungathered rose" on Mr.. Worth's Pa
risian walls. Do not blame him. He
is not responsible for the follies and
tastes of the women whose demands he
undertakes to supply. He does the best
he can with his customers. and he
would not have any if he attempted to
wholly carry out his ideas on dress,
which are more sensible than any we
have heard from the lips of any man or
woman. He is only too delighted when
he finds a woman who wishes her
dress adapted to her style Of face,
form and occupation, and he can tell
at a glance what its make and color
should be. He takes more interest in
adapting one dress to a woman who
understands this secret of good dress
ing than he does in dozens of the SNOWY
kind that are ordered for inappropriate
places.
Although where a costly and gorgeous
dress is not out of place, no one can
rival Worth in producing either bizarre,
outre or tasteful effects. He is the
Shakespeare of dreSs. He can do every
thing with it, as shakespeare could
with language. And he knows a
wealthy titled lady of Paris whose taste
and inspiration would be his only rivals
if she were obliged to use them as her
own pecuniary benefit. He obtains
many of his effects from nature-more
especially in the matter of blending the
shades, as seen in the plumage of a bird
the petal of a flower or the tints of sun
set clouds. Nature never brings strik-
ing contrasts closely together, although
she may appear to do so at the first sight
of her varied hues. Each one leads NJ
to or receoes from the other in gradual.
ly deepening tints until the climax OF
color is reached and Worth, who is a
keen observer, inyariable uses the hints
he catches in this way. 1t is a pity that
women al a rule will not support hin
to a still greater extent than they do,
and allow him to use his inventive ge,
MUS in creating a healthful, sensible, but
pretty dress for them to veal. He
would answer for its being a grace
full II If Mrs. King and other radi
cal dress reformers did but know it
Worth could and would benefit womer
more than any man on the face of tn,
earth.

The Raising of Snalls.

Snail raising might be practised in
this country, but it would scarcely be
profitable in a land in which frogs
legs are only just coming into use, while
other things regarded as tidbits in
France are left uneaten. In Burgundy,
where the business is carried ON to
perfection, the following system is
in use; The snajls are collected from
vines toward the end of summer, and
are then placed in Enclosures digniied
by the name of ''parks,'' to fatten on
thyme, peppermint and other herbs
which experience has proved to be
most suitable. A damp and shady
nook is seleceed for the park" and
the prisoners are kept within bounds
by the simple eoatrivance of sawdust
and brambles. This does very well
in fine weather but when it rains the
farmers wife and children must be
constantly ON the alert to tuln back
the runaways, The fattening process
goes on until the approach of winter
when tufts of moss and bundles of dry
leayesare thrown into the park. Intothese
the snails creep, and then, to increase
their comfort, proceed to seal themselves
up in the If shells. In the case of Burgun-
dy snails, the sealing substance exuded
! forms a thick calcareous crust. When
the creatures have completed their
arrangements for alternating is Just
the time when they are considered in
prime condition for the table. The
full grown ones are then used as they
are wanted for the market, the young
hes being left to swell the next years
crop.
