The Feminine Use OF Adjectives.


gentlemen often say that the con-
versational powers of ladies would be
more agreeable with limited use Of
adjectives. The exaggerated use of adj
Jectlyes, says the Hartford Times, is
characteristic only OF American women,
Their constant habit Of qualifying ev-
erything they see, hear, smell, taste,
or touch by inappropriate superiatives,
is not contracted through ignorance.
IL arises from the ridiculous custom en-
gendered during the gigglng period of
their school days. BY habitual prac-
tee, 1t becomes firmly established, fol-
lows them into maturity, debases their
language, and makes them appear far
more silly and frivolous than they real
ly are. 1t is almost impossible for
women to shake off this nonsensical
habit formed in their early youth.
Their exaggeration of language is car
ried to an extent that not only becomes
serious consideration to ordinary OBJ
servers, but also to learned men and
professors. In conversation the other
day, a professor of Trinity college
gravely inquired; "Why do ladies in
yariably mar their conversation by the
repeated exclamation perfectly love-
lyP " We do not wonder that he no
ticed it. There is nothing more tire
some during lady's conversation than
to hear the unceasing words perfectly
lovely" At the theatre, parties, we'd
dings, funerals, lectures, prayer-meet-
ings, and in horse-cars, steam-cars,
steamboats,, art galleries, milliners'
and dry-goods shops, or at the dentists,
doctors and dress-maker's, indoors
and outdoors, wherever American wo-
men are gathered together, the inevita-
BILE chorus Of perfectly lovely arises
to arouse the misconceptions
amusement of observers. The express
sion perfectly lovely is beginning to
be perfectly unlovely by its gross mis-
use, 1t has a strong rival in the other
also too common expression perfectly
elegant How American women are
laughed at abroad at the misplaced ex-
pressions of their new-world exagger-
alton and enthusiasm! In nine cases
out OF ten, they qualify customs, cathe-
drals, castles, and cows as perfectly
elegant" palaces, peers, peasants and
pigs as perfectly lovely" or sunsets,
soldiers, sculpture, and sheep as "per-
fectly stunning" Is it any wonder that
it excites ridicule! A year or two ago,
a Hartford gentleman who accompa-
MED a relative-a young lady-on a
trip up the Hudson river, promised to
give her handsome silk dress if she
would not utter the words perfectly
lovely once during the journey. We
never heard whether she won the dress.
We presume not.
School-teachers could do much to
remedy this defect. 1t begins in school
days. Then is the time to prevent the
overflow of this bubbling effusion into
later years. A modification of adjec-
tivos, an Improvement in language,
would be the result. Perhaps it would
become perfectly lovely"

A happy surprise it was to Mr.. A. r.
Norton, Of Bristol, Conn, when ATHLoPHoRos
put him on his feet, and sent him cheerfully
about his business. Let him tell his own story:
about three weeks ago was taken
with severe crick In the back. For four days
Twas unable TO turn in bed without help, and
when lifted up could not stand on my feet. Twas
induced totry ATHLoPHoRos after all the usual
remedies failed. In 20 minutes after taking the
hrst dose could bear my weight upon my feet.
In two days was able TO get about and attend
to business In two other cases which have
come TO my knowledge its use has been attended
with the same results"
A poor man in Philadelphia had to bor-
row dollar TO buy bottle OF ATHLoPHoRos.
On account OF his poverty his name shall remain
secret He had suffered terribly from Rheu-
patisn. He gratefully writes:
~ took my first dose Tuesday afternoon,
and on Wednesday after but seven Doses had
not sharp or severe ache left. Then reduced
the dose one.half and took the remainder Of the
bottle. was able TO be steady at work till Sat
urday, when took severe cold and was I'm.
able to use my left hand purchased another
bottle and by bedtime found relief. The
medicine ia all you claim for it."
Investigate ATHLoPHoRosall you please!
Find all the fault you choose with it ! and
yet the fact remains, that it is doing what
30 other medicine ever could do Cor Rheu-
natism and Neuralgia.

gist we will send It express paid, on rcceip.,

NEW YORK, Oct 29.-The stock market
opened firm this morning, with one or two
exceptions. Louisville y Nashville and
Erie were fractionaily lower, while tha Van
derbilt stocks and the Changers showed de-
cided strength. II is reported that the
Baltimore d Ohio will put line Of steamers
on to New York and Philadelphia.
This viii render it independent Of the freight
pool and put IL in a condition TO wage q
ruinous war of rates with trunk line roads.
LOaning rates OF the Bank Of England Will
be increased tomorrow, and it is expected
that this viii have a depressing effect on
stocks. As the day advanced the stock mar
ket developed pronounced condition of
bullishness. The only exception was New
York Central, which sold down from s. &c
to sage. Commack, WoershOefTer, Morgan
and Gould were bearish on New York Cen
trail, and hammered it numerically al day.
Souther advises the sale of New
York Central at present prices.
Yesterday he told an unfortunate
operator to sell LOCO shares of New YORK
Central and ne would guarantee the amount
crease in earnings Of the Northwestern Tor
the month Of October will amount to fully
$500, coo. 1t is now claimed as certain that
the interest on the Jersey Central bonds viii
be paid on Nov. l. This will, however. only
delay for time the final bankruptcy of the
road. Rumors are again current that Van
derbilt is trying to secure control Of the West
Shore road. The recent strength of West
Shore bonds is attributed to tn is fact The
directors OF The New York Central, however,
are in favor Of pursuing vigorous aggressive
policy against the rival OF the Vanderbilt line
and the outlook is that the decentralization OF
the rates win continue for some time 10 come.
Ex-President Gowan has been appointed a
comffitte Of one by the Reading board of
directors to prepare and submit plan OF re
organization for that road. While New York
brokers generally we're bearish on the situa-
ton they all thought the market was liable
to sudden changes. Officials said no new
cutting of rates was contemplated by the
New York Central or West Shore. Foreign
houses are still inclined to look with favor
upon Vanderbilt stocks, but think the last
issue of debenture bonds unwise. 1t would
have been better for the Central to have re-
duced its dividends, they think. Erie officials
say there is nothing in the present condition
of that road to warrant the break Of yester-
day, hut inside holders OF the bonds have lost
confidence and are letting them go. The
yearly report of the Erie, ending September
30, would show that the road had earned its
fixed charges within $500, OO0@sOO, 900. The
dealings at the last, so far as dizziness was
concerned, were counterpart Of yesterday,
and before business ceased nealy all hands
were outside OF the exchange witnessing the
marshaling Of the battalion OF its members
VINO were to be reviewed later in the day
SO the market was left to take care of itself,
and it wound up in very quiet manner.
