woMAN's WAY OF STOPPING A CAR.
Talking of horse cars reminds US of
certain anomalies that come under OBJ
servation in regard to them. One is
the idiosyncrasy of the gentler sex
when they are concerned. 1t is one of
the oldest things in life to see a lady
calmly take up her stand on the side
walk and signal the driver with her
umbrella, as if it was special privi-
lege of his to come and fetch her. Of
the hundreds of ladies who 90 daily by
horse car from point to point, fifty per
cent may be seen calmly fiourishing
umbrellas on the sidewalk and await
inc its arrival before they take a step
forward to meet it. Why, in the name
Of common sense, they cannot stand
upon the crossing where they know the
car will stop, no one, not even they them
selves can tell, yet they must know
that by doing so they could save time
for the car-driver and energy for them
selves. Another peculiaritv Is the want

THE LIMIT - THE MAGNETIC GIRL.
One of the most interesting problems
of the day is the discovery OF the limits
of magnetism as exhibited in the health
full American girl. Up to a very recent
period magnetic manifestations -ex-
cep. on the part of politicians-have
been purely physical in their nature.
The Georgia wonder so-called, was
a chair-raiser and man-shaker. The
power of magnetism over matter, and
especially over weight and laws OF
gravitation, she demonstrated very sat-
isfactorily. Beyond that she did not
90. Into the empyrean regions OF
mind her magnetism never scared. She
could move man from or in chair;
she could move him with billiard cue,
an umbrella or cane. But she could
not move him to tears or to laughter.
Over his finer feelings she had no con-
troll So far as her magnetism was
concerned she was essentially of the
earth earthly. And, as it was with the
Georgia wonder, so was it with the
magnetic girls of her time.
But as the star of the Georgia girl
pales new one has arisen in the West,
and we have a Wisconsin wonder"
with style of magnetism entirely diff
ferent from that hitherto prevailing.
The Wisconsin girl, who halls from
Milwaukee, is not physical wonder.
She doesn't raise chairs or washtubS or
tlatirons. What she raises chiefly is
CONSERVATION. Her magnetism takes
the form of mysterious hands in mir
rors and strange beings in dark cor
ners looking sternly and threateningly.
Worst of all, her magnetism unloOses
her tongue, SO that she can disclose all
the secrets of the bystanders, causing
MANY of them to blush and stop their
ears and run away. 1t is in this latter
manifestation that the Milwaukee mag
netism is most terrible; and it is this
that lends point to the inquiry as to the
probable limits of magnetism in the
hands of the feminine youth Of the
country.
If this thing is to 60 any farther we
have no hesitation in saying that the
Young woman of the period is not only
more dangerous than she has been re-
puted but far more dangerous than the
young woman of any antecedent period.
If people are to have all their secrets
disclosed, upon the slightest provoca-
ton or no provocation at all, as if they
were candidates for office, there is an
end to social peace and good order and
neighborly communion. The opening
of young woman's mouth in any
gathering will be the signal for prompt
dispersal and seclusion. 1t would be
bad enough if Milwaukee magnetism
could be relied upon to disclose only
the truth; but in the absence of any as
surance on that point it must be
frowned down. Unless its manifesto
tions cease at once there can be but one
answer to the vexed question. What
shall we do with our Milwaukee girls?"
That answer will be. We must sup
press them.-DetrOit Free Press.
