Pretty Woman's Experiment.

Ven York Letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
L hold it to be a truth constantly self
evident that every man viii defend
woman against all women except himself.
If YOU haven't noticed it already, you have
only to look for it an hour or so in any
place Of mixture of the sexes. Clap your
eyes on a pretty woman without male es-
cOrt. and two phenomena Will become OBJ
yiOus. Firstly, there will be a large
amount of open and covert staring at her,
to all of which her ObliviOusness is, Of
course, only assumed. Secondly, If one of
the starers happens to realize that others
are at the same game, he will manifest
plainly his disgust at such treatment of
an unprotected beauty, utterly ignoring
his own Offense. A husband and wife got
into a street car. The man was some
what dudish in dress. The woman was
under twenty, and as pretty as nature
and art are in the habit of combining to
produce. They were chatting on the very
subject that / have here introduced.
"PerciYal, dear" said she, 81 viii
nrove 10 YOU that 1 am right and take
only ten minutes to Go IL, if you'll promise
not to get angry about it."
He closed the contract. Then she
drew herself up, as though the husband
sitting beside her was an entire stranger,
and waited for the car to I'LL with passen-
gers at Union Square.
ssNOW y she whispered Denluu ueI ldDs
ssObserye how am Ogled when alone"
Within five minutes he saw that half
dozen masculine passengers from hoary
ace to callOw youth, eyed his bride with
more or less audacity, and several mani
testify would not have needed the smallest
beginning Of a wink on her part to seize
upOn her then and there. That part of
the exhibition was a triumph for the
wife but the most curious feature Of her
experiment remained to be tried.
lyon certainly do seem to attract
oreat deal of admiration" said the hus-
band. suppOsing that the pretended
Sfraugpuess was at an end. She lifted her
evehr0vs in simulated surprise, as though
an imDertinent fellow had fundamentally
aceOsfed her, and pOintedly turned her
face away from him. He understood her
now and did not speak TO her further.
Navt she drew her shoulder away from
contact with his. By this time the spec
tators were believing that he was annoy
inc her dreadfully, and scOrnful glances
1T-e,a aimed at him. A man arose from
tho onDOsite side. ''Will you exchange
scots With me?v he very politely and gal
Iantlv said, lifting his hat most deferen-
TALLY. a.,
Now he had been foremost among the
original Oglers-the yeriest slmpleton OF
ssTbank YOU, sir" she replied, "but L
Drefer TO sit beside my husband"
Tins with the same stone she killed
that yulture-bird aud the dOve-mate whom
She had undertook to instruct as to the
philosophy Of male gallantry.

To Prevent Contracting Disease.

One of the best guards against contract
ing contagious disease is to keep the
stomach well supplied at regular hours
with plain, substantial food, and the body
in healthful action, thorough cleanli-
measurement bathings-that the pores
of the skin may perform their office with
out hindrance.
When the stomach is empty it takes up
and absOrbs the impurities floating in the
atmosphere far more readily than when
actively engaged digesting its proper food
A successful nurse, one who has had eX-
perience in the care of the sick, knows
how very necessary it is to fortify the sys-
TEN by paying careful attention TO the
diet and having it served at regular hours,
as a defence against insidiOus forces, ever
active to secure its prey. Persons are
often called upon to lay out the dead and
enter upon their work with appetites
clamoring for food and thus expose the
system to great danger, especially if the
deceased came to his or her death by acute
disease.
In such cases the body often gives off
an offensive effiuvium, which is taken up
by the respiratory organs of the persons
in attendance and conducted to the vital
parts. resulting in evil, which will show
itself in aftertime, more or less, accord
ing to the power of the system to repulse
or contract the seeds of disease.
Where there is lack of food for immedi-
ate necessity, let the person drink cup
of strong tea or coffee before entering
upon the duties of the sick room or cham
Der of death.

@ reputation that he was sent to the

Ernst and Peaches

AS the peach crop is liable to be killed
by the frost in the early spring, some
growers recommend keeping small fires
all over the orchard during those nights
when the frost is apprehended. The flame
and smoke will raise the temperature for
a considerable height, but it must be con-
slant or as long as there is danger. Many
would build these fires when they see the
frost coming, but, unfortunately, they
have no wood ready. Would it not be
well, sin time of peace to prepare for

cutting teeth. 1t relieves the little suf-
Ierer at once: it produces natural, quiet
sleep by relieving the child from pain, and
the little cherub awakes as "bright as a
button" 1t is very pleasant to taste. 1t
soothes the child. softens the gums, al
lays all pain, relieves wind, regulates
the bowels, and is the best known remedy
for diarrhea, whether arising from teeth

A Good Sheen

Is said to be one that will pay it's own ex-
penses with wool-will pay the money it
cost if shipped to market, and will pay
profit if kept for increase. The weight of
a good sheep in Texas is 100 pounds, and
it must shear 4 pounds of wool, but it
may weigh less if it produce the wool and
still be a good sheen.

Gen Sherman's Dilemma.
(Chicago Letter IN Troy Press.

One incident, however. which happened in
San Francisco about years ago, came near
breaking the general Of the habit which has
fastened its terrible grip upon him. The occa-
sion was pretty Alice Harrison's farewell bene-
fit and, as luck would have 1t, Tecumseh and
his staff were visiting the Pacific coast DEPART
ment. So they hired box and went to the
show. No sooner did Miss Harrison appear
than the old war horse snuff-d the battle from
afar and began to grow restless. The members
of the staff winked at each other and suggested
the propricty of going behind the scenes to COM
plinent the beneficiary. The proposition suit
ed the general exactly, so back they went.
When they were fairly on the stage the old hero
OF Atlanta marched up to Miss Harrison with
the remark that he hadn't kissed anything since
breakfast, threw his arm over her shoulder and
bent to besiow psternsl salute on her cheek.
He had lust reached the goal OF his desire and
wss feeling like a iust-admitted angel sliding
down a bultered rainbss when that impish
Young lady saw that the prompter was about TO
ring up the "drop." Quickly placing her hands
over the generals ears 50 he couldn't hear the
bell, she backed him against the curtain. As
everybody knows, this Is wound around huge
wooden roller on the inside oil the canvass.
We'll, the general cost-tais were caught, and
before the promptor coula nvsrse the motion
the asruni he'd man was suspended or feet
from the stage like sheet from cloihes-line.
The sight WAS 90 ludicrons that the members OF
the generals staG who told me the story said
the audience went into mysteries, tor they knew
that those convulsivey clutching legs and ven
cradle CATERS belonged "a no one else than The
