Girls are needed In Colorado. Especially
Ia Garfield County is the scarcity of the
tenderer sex the cause of much regret on
the part of the lonely lords Of creation.
Here are the exact figures from local pa-
per:
" In Garfield County there are 1877 single
rnen and only GO unmarried women. We
want girls in Garfield County-blondes,
brunettes, tall, short, fat, lean, jolly girls
girls who can ride in carriages, play the
piano, make crazy quilts, sew, iron, and
cook for us. We are 500 girls short here,
and we want all the girls to know it."
But Garfield County is only one Of sever
Il districts that might be named, where un-
married women are in an appalling rninori-
ty. The railroads might aid the cause of
humanity, as well as give an impetus to the
trade in household furniture, by publishing
statistics Of population, showing the dispro-
portion Of the sexes in various sections.
Then, TO show their desire to cause har-
monious equilibrium, the railroads might
offer free transit to all blondes and brunet-
ties who might desire to join in procession
destined for the West. Such procession,
Il well managed, would stretch from Maine
to Colorado, and, il it travelled in open cars.
would surely be "the greatest show ON
earth"

uo.eIs In Am erlcn and Europe.

The ruling idea In America is that what
ever guests can possibly want is to b.
ready waiting for him at all hours of tn,
day or night. From o'clock in the morn
ing till bedtime he can eat. Be it break.
fast lunch, dinner or summer, there will be
something on the table In order to post
his letters or to buy paper or TO telephone
to friend or to send q message, he has
only to walk into the main hall. For o
wash, shave, boot-cleaning, hair-dressing
or the relief of his corns, he has merely to
sit down on chair, and the appropriate
artist will be at his side in q minute. They
all understand their business, whatever il
may be, and no time or labor is wasted ir
explanations. The guest knows beforehand
his own share OF the programme-what he
will have to eat, where he will have to sleep,
and TO cent what he will have to pay. In
the best managed hotels on our own side
of the Atlantic the element Of strangeness
and uncertainty has not yet been altogether
eliminated. A person never knows exactly
what may happen to him how he may be
treated, or what he may be charged even at
a house which he frequents habitually. But
the American hotel sets your mind at rest
forthwith. For so many dollars per day
you are free of the house and all its priv
leges, which, apart from the eating and
sleeping, are very considerable. -Rlack

STAMPED WITH QUAINT DESIGNS.
The Practice of Closing Letters With seni-
ing WINK Rcviying.

The revived practice of closing letters
with sealing wax, stamped with a quaint
design, started in New York, and has spread
from the Atlantic to the Pacific" said an
uptown stationer yesterday. Fanciful
designs are invented by manufacturing
jewellers to suit whimsical tastes. The
fashion for diamonds is waning, and the
manufacturers have seized the opportunity
to return to seal rings. Intaglios are worn
by both women and men. In the stone is
cut the family crest, with motto, il one is
to be had or can be invented. Frequently
a young lady has her initials in her hand
writing cut in the surface, not in o mono
gram, but as written. Men wear watch
charms of gold in various shapes, which on
touching spring disclose stone seal
ready for stamping the softened wax.
Desk seals are Used OF less expensive
materials, but of fantastic shapes. Paper
knives of silver, brass, or nickel, finished
with a seal at the end of the handle, are in
demand. Fantastic paper weights of metal
are also fitted with seals. Here is one in
the shape of pig, with the seal on the end
Of his noses Another is a chicken with the
seal ON his foot. When a crest or mona.
gram is not desired for SEAL flower
usually daisy, forget-me-not, or rose,
is used.
"1he art Of sealing letter properly has
to be learned. The letter should be laid
face downward on the writing desk and a.
candle or lamp at the right hand. The wax
should be held above the flame, but not
near enough to burn 1t. Burned wax
makes the seal brittle and streaks it with
black lines. 1t should soften gradually
above the flame until it ia about to drip
then it should be placed squarely on the
lpot to be sealed and rubbed with q circu-
lar movement. When the WAX has become
cool the stick can be taken away. To
stamp it. warm the wax slightly by holding
it near, but not over, the fame until 1t
softens, and then apply the seal with a firm
touch. The latest notion Is to use perfuin.
ed wax"

CaIiiornIn,s Monoronou. climate.

The luxurious foliage, flowers, vines and
fruits give us an idea of the climate that
can bring about wonderful things. After
all it is good deal as a Massachusetts, boy
said after spending winter at Los Angeles.
His father came out in the spring after him,
and after taking walk through the orange
groves at Pasadena and Sierra Madre, the
boy asked his father what he thought OF
California. The Massachusetts man said he
thought it was paradise. Yes," said the
boy, but it is terribly monotonous.n l
think this little story shows how age tenn
pers the views Of people. California with
sunshine, flowers and fruits, combined with
one of the finest climates in the United
States, must appear monotonous to the
young heart and blood, signing for the
active pursuits and stirring atmosphere OF
other portions of the Union, but to the older
man who has seen the picture of life come
and go, and who seeks repose and content
ment, and who Ia willing and even anxious
to relinquish his former ways, California
has an attraction that does not appear mo-
notonous.

IN THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC.
President Who Prevented War by
building n City.


There is town called Washington and
another called Lincoln in Argentine, but
the newest thing in the way of towns is La
Plata the capital of the province of Buenos
Ayres. Until within few years that prov
nce, having more than half the population
Of the entire country, has considered itself
orses-and-driyer-and- spotted dog under
the-wagon MS far as the Government was
concerned, and the outlying provinces have
had nothing to say about it, being regarded
ns insignificant dependencies of the city
and state of Buenos Ayres. They tried to
secede, but were whipped into the Union
but us immigration has come into the coun-
try the other provinces now outnumber
Buenos Ayres, and she is doing the kicking,
and in every Presidential campaign the
contest comes on a geographical issue.
Roca, the present President, was an outside
man. and the Buenos Ayreans were going
b prevent his inauguration or overthrow
his Government, but to mollify them he an
nounced great scheme of building new
capital at Government expense. There
grow up in the ordinary way, so the Presi-
dent sent to the United States aud had 500
houses manufactured to order and shipped
down here all ready to put up, like box
of toys. A location was selected on the
pnlnpas, all the revolutionary leaders were
let INFO the speculation, war was ayerted,
and a brand new city sprang up on the
prairie like bed of mushrooms, almost in
a single night Two or three millions of
dollars was spent by the Government, but
The President considers that the cost of the
town was much less than would have been
the cost of the war that was averted plen-
ty of money WAS put into circulation, all
the laboring men in the country got lucra-
tive employment, and, as in the old-fashion-
ed story books, everything came out happi-
ly a, the end. These houses were made in
Brooklyn and Chicago. A New York firm
got the contract. There was SO much haste
and carelessness in their construction thai
they don't wear very WELL and every roofs

not eager to discuss the moral ethics of

put:
Can you tell me what is the real per-

Inherent rates-but the real percentage is
enormously in the banks favor. II lies in
the same principle of human nature that I
have just commented upon. The average

The result is, if his good fortune continues
his winnings are small and unimportant.
On the other hand, let him lose continuous

ment that it is long lane which has no
turning, he increases his stakes. The
policy, with continued misfortune. ends in
large losses. Thus, when the bank is loser
1t is for small sums, but when winning the
gains are large.
What the bank is afraid of are the con

not many of them. There is class of men
at the European gambling places, and q
gery small class, who have reduced the
thing to fine point. These men risk every

Appreciation OF Child in a London Hos.
pital. 81, H.t,z

In one of the London hospitals, about
year ago, an assistant surgeon became inter.
ested in one of his patients, poor child Of
ten, suffering from hip disease She lay
day after day in her little white cot, with
nothing to occupy her thoughts but her
pain. The surgeon saw her one day trying
to make doll of her finger, playing with
it, and, at last giving it up with a weary
sigh, turning to watch the sunlight creep.
ing over her bed, as she had done fol-
months. That afternoon the doctor, pass
ing shop, bought long soft ribbon, ofan
exquisite rose color, and gave it to little
Katie. She was breathless with pleasure,
smoothed it out, held it up, soft and shin
ming, in the sun, and looked at her friend,
speechless with tears of ecstacy. From that
lime she was rich. The nurse told the doc.
tor week later that the child played with
the ribbon all day, twisted it about her
head, playing that she was bride, prin-
cess, a fairy; held it in her hand while she
slept, and laid it, folded in paper, under
her pillow at night It was found necessary
after two months, to perform q capital
operation on the child, one which, if un-
successful, is fatal. 1t was done by two OF
the foremost surgeons in London. When
Me poor little sufferer was laid upon the
table she cried for DIR. S.. 'sHe is all

One day Senator Ingalls,, of Kansas, had

Long Life in Mexico.

The other day an old fellow named Jose
0noire Oiedn, died over in town of the
State of Jalisco, aged 115 years. He had
been married twice, and, only year ago,
thought seriously of third wife, when death
came along to stop his matrimonial schemes.
Some time ago an old fellow was living of
SON Miguel de Allende, aged 1856 years,
man still vigorous. The records of the
parish church confirm his claims to great
age. Not long ago, down in the pretty little
tropical village of Orizaba, there died an
old women aged lao years, and few
months ago woman named Martina Riviera
died here at the age of $50 years, fact
thoroughly attested. The Indians have
proverb that their hair is black when that
of the Spaniards is growing gray. A local
paper noted the other day the case of the
Indian, Juan Santiag, who died in 1874, at
the age of 143 years. This old chap left two
dependent grandchildren, both aged men,
whose years were respectively Ill and 100
years. The grandfather married as the In
dams do, very young, and it is not surpris-
ing that he should have lest descendants
who were themselves centenarians.
The secret Of this extraordinary longevity
among the Indians is their simple diet and
regular habits. They themselves say that
when an Indian goes into service and eats
the food Of tho white man the Indians teeth
begin to decay. Their perpetual grinding
on tortillas keep their teeth white and the
lime in the torilla makes teeth bore.-Cor-
dependence Boston Herald.
