Women at Forty.
Boston Herald.


The period of dry rot in the lives of
men is said to begin at the age of fifty
years, though recent essayist makes
it date at forty, and if this is so, the
period of decadence for women may be
set at least ten years earlier. There is
time generally acknowledged in So
ciety when men and women have
reached their ultimate, when the forces
of youth are spent, when the environ
ment of life is apparently fixed, when
it is possible to go on for awhile ON the
lines that have already been formed,
when one seems to have accomplished
his career, and can rest awhile upon
what he has done. This is the point of
danger to men, especially to profess
sional men. 1t is the point when cler
gymen and lawyers or doctors feel that
they have reached something fixed,
and need not put forth further effort.
1t is also the point where women, if
married, are apt to say to themselves
that they can settle down into the fixed
things of their homes, or, if unmar-
ried, are apt to withdraw their interest
from active life and retire into them
selves. 1t is the season of danger with
either sex, perhaps the season of most
danger to women, because they have
less to call forth their latent energies
than men have, and are more suscepti-
BILE to the agencies that promote or di-
minish their happiness or usefulness.

Man az Man Is.

IuCh
Man that is born of a woman is
small potatoes and few in the hill.
He riseth up to-day and fourisheth
like rag-weed, and tomorrow or the
day after the undertaken has him in
the ice box.
He goeth forth in the morning warb-
ling like the lark, and is knocked out
in one round and two seconds.
In the midst of life he is in debt, and
the tax collector pursueth him wher-
ever he goeth.
The banister of life is full of splinters
and he slideth down it with considera-
BILE rapidity.
He walketh forth in the bright sun
light to absorb ozone, and meeteth the
bank teller with sight draft for
1857.
He cometh home at eventide and
meeteth the wheelbarrow in the path,
and the wheelbarl ow riseth up and
smiteth him to the earth, and falleth
upon him and runneth one of it's legs
into his ear.
In the gentle springtime he putteth
on his summer clothes, and blizzard
striketh him far away from home, and
filleth him with woe and rheumatism.
He layeth up riches in the bank, and
the president speculateth in margins,
and then goeth to Canada for his
health.
In the autumn he putteth on his
winter trousers, and wasp that abid-
eth in them filleth him with intense
excitement.
He starteth down stairs with an
oleander, and goeth first hastily, and
the oleander cometh after him and sit
teth upon him.
He stitch up all night to get the re-
turns from Ohio, and in the end learn
eth that the other fellows have carried
it.
He buyeth a watch dog, and when
he cometh home late from the lodge
the watch dog treeth him, and stitch
beneath him until rosy morn.
He goeth to the horse trot and bet
teth his money on the brown mare,
and the bay gelding with a blaze face
winneth.
He married a red-headed heiress
with wart on her nose, and the next
day her parental ancestor goeth under,
with few assets and great liabilities,
and cometh home to live with his be-
loved son-in-law.

''s A Southern Industry.

The popular peanut grows so well
throughout the south, that it is thought
their large importation from Africa
will soon cease.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press tells how the peanuts are pre-
pared for market. He says that in
Virginia they are called 'peanuts;'' in
North Carolina ''ground peas;' in AL
ALBANIA ''ground nuts" and in Ten
nessee ''goobers.
They are first put in an immense
cylinder, from which they enter the
brushes, where each nut receives fiji
teen or sixteen feet of brushing before
it becomes free.
After this cleaning process the nuts
drop on an endless belt, which re-
wolves very slowly.
On each side of this belt is row of
girls, whose duty it is to separate the
poor nuts from the good ones.
Those of the nuts that ''pass' go on
to the next room, where more girls
await their arrival and put them in
bags, which, when filled, are sewed up
and branded as "chocks," with the
figure of a rooster prominent on each
sack. These are the "No. u peanuts.
The poorer nuts, which were sepa-
rated by the girls at the endless belt,
are all picked over again; the best are
singled out and branded, after being
put in the sack, as ''ships.''
The .ships'' are not so large nor so
fine in appearance as the "cOcks," but
are just as good for eating.
The third grade of nuts is known as
eagles" and the cuttings that are left
from the ''eagles" are bagged and sent
to a building where the little meat that
is in them is extracted by patent
shelter.
This ''meat''- by this name it is
known to the dealers put up, clean
and nice, in two hundred pound bags
and shipped for the use of confection-
ers and manufacturers of peanut candy.
There is also an oil made from some
of the nuts, and in this speciality, am
told, a large trade is done by wholesale
druggists.
OF the peanuts there is nothing vast
ed, for even the shells are made useful,
being put in immense sacks and sold
to livery men for horse bedding, and a
very comfortable, healthy bed they
make.

ROOM AT THE TOP.
Extract From Manager 7dlna0e's Circular
to Employees.


to Employees.
Globe. Democrat.
A circular will be issued to-day from
the office of James Smith, general
traffic manager of the Wabash road,
which is of great interest to employees
of the road. The circular contains the
announcement of the various changes
and new appointments made by Mr.
Smith in his corps of commercial and
division freight agents, all of which
have already been mentioned in the
Globe-Democrat. 1t also contains in
structions that tend to show the policy
which Mr.. Talmage has adopted with
regard to employees. ''There must be
no friction" says Mr.. Talmage,
through Mr.. Smith; ''none will be toll
Grated. When vacancies occur promo
tions will be made from the most COM
peteht and deserving men of our own
line. Remember there is always room
ON top" etc. There is an incentive to
work in these words which will no
doubt fructify in the most beneficial
results to the road. Mr.. Talmage, in
Napoleonic way, wants each man to
understand that there is a marshal's
baton in his knapsack, and his policy
in this respect is highly Lommendable,
for where the employees have an assur-
ance that their work will receive recog-
milton, they will labor faithfully and
diligently. Further, the instructions
show Mr.. Talmage's good generalship
in the matter of organization and dis
cipline. ''Agents will be expected"
he says, ''to inform themselves if any
business is being lost to the company
by diversion to competing lines, and
reason therefor. If passengers, the
general passenger and ticket agent
should be advised promptly. And, if
at crossing points, inform themselves,
as nearly as possible, of the quantity
and kind of business brought to or ia
ken from the stations by rival lines,
and keep division station agents adj
viscd of that or any other matters af-
fecting the company's interest. Divis-
ion freight agents will travel frequent
ly over every part of their respective
divisions and make themselves person.
ally acquainted with shippers, hear
complaints, redress grievances and
endeavor to establish friendly relations
and popularize the line with the bust
ness hublic.'' Also, cit is expected
that each and every one in the several
departments will unite heartily in the
work and aid each other. There must
be no friction. None will be tolrea-
ted. When vacancies occur promo
lions will be made from the most COM
petent and deserving men of our line.
Remember there is always room at the
top, and the officers who have at
tanned the highest rank in the service
are those who have worked their way
up from the lowest round in the lad
der" Mr.. Talmage evidently intends
to put the Wabash road on a paying
basis.

BUsYBODLEs.

II Is a fact, as I've been told
That people in the days of old
Got rich In silver and in gold,
No matter what they bought or sold,
BY minding their own business.
They did not try to wound ones fame
Or SANDER anybody's name;
They cared not when you went or came;
They pleased themselves, you did the same,
If 1t was your own business.
And II q man did what was right
In his own mimi and in the sight
OF God and law by day and night,
He went ahead and fought the fight,
Determined on his business.
But In degenerate modern days
There's quito change In peoples ways,
And what q person does or says
Must be held up unto the gaze
or every busybody.
And IL YOU do not tell them, too,
Where you are going and what you are going
TO do,
They get into such an awful stew
They'll even watch and follow you,
These very busybodies.
And then they surely think they know
Just when you come and when you go,
And they VIII whisper so and SO
To every friend and every foe,
These very busy bodies.
But If we take the pains to see
Who these same busybodies be,
We find there's not he or she
Who has decent history
Among these busybodies.
But let us no more notice take
OF evil tongues, but, for their sake,
Well hope and pray they soon may wake
From wickedness, and money make
By minding their own business.

A CHASTITY scaffold Scene.
Vienna Letter to London Standard.


A CHASTITY scene occurred to-day
within the prison at Stein. This morn
ing a convict named Ferdinand Baum
gartner, who several months ago muir
dered a prison warden, was to be
hanged for the crime in the courtyard
of the prison. The spectators, who
had assembled to witness the execu-
ton, included about seventy persons,
in addition to company of infantry
specially detailed to preserve order.
The convict, who was brought from his
cell at z O. lock, turned savage glare
on the assembled persons as he walked
past with firm step to the gallows.
Arrived there, the executioner' assist
ants approached for the purpose of
binding his arms. Muttering an i'm
precation he dashed the first assistant
down and began fighting with the sec
ond and third. The struggle between
the convict, who raved like a wild
beast, and the executioner' men went
on for several minutes before the SOL
diers were ordered to interfere. They
soon overpowered Baumgartner, and
the executioner now threw the rope
around his neck. Another terrible
struggle then ensued. Baumgartner,
who caught the cord with his teeth,
kept his mouth shut, and held the rope
with such force that the assistants
were unable for some time to wrench
it from him. Even after they had first
secured the rope the convict seized it
again with his bound hands, and, ut
tering loud oaths, defied them to carry
out the sentence. At length, however,
the executioner succeeded in forming
an irregular moose on the mans neck.

Spouting Geysers.
Omaha Herald.

OWand
Colonel E. D. Webster, who returned
yesterday from an official tour through
Wyoming, Montana and Dakota,
brings an interesting theory, born of
close personal observation, of the for
nation and motive power of the won
derful spouting geysers in the Yellow
stone region. Mr.. Webster is of the
opinion that during the volcanic age
the great deposits of limestone in that
country were burned into lime, and
that this lime is being constantly
slaked by subterranean streams of wa
ter or the chemical action of minerals.
The steam from this shaking lime pours
into the pots or caverns below the wa
ter, and when it accumulates sufficient
force, having no other vent, throws the
water up into the air, and escapes pre-
cisely as steam confined in boiling
kettle will lift the lid when the spout is
plugged. The theory is new and
plausible one, and deserving the at
tention of scientists.

For several minutes the struggle was
resumed, and it was only by the
hangman using his hands and drag
ging him down that he succeeded in
carrying the law into effect, Baum
gartner resisting to the last moment.
During the night the convict, who had
refused to see the priest, had remained
very quiet. He was a powerful young
fellow, and had killed his jailer with a
Ratchet.

Nearly all the old presidents retired
to farms and spent the balance of their
days in the quiet pursuit of agricul-
ture. General Grant has had taste
of farm life and may yet conclude to
quit the hurly-burly of the large city
and seek the quiet repose of the coun-
try. Moderate living and reasonable
saving would yet make him rich, by
his handsome income alone, before he
is very old man.
