BULGARIAN Amaz0ns.

Perhaps the most interesting product
of the Balkan revolution is the little
band of Amazons which has its quarters
at Phi!ippopolis. The commander IS
the dircctrcss of an orphan a'ylum at
Philippopolis by the name of Rains ana
the united ages of the warlike twelve
are said to reach the number OF the days
in the year, a fact which unfortunately
takes some of the romance from the
novel movement. 1t has ever been said
that the weapons Of the Bulgarian
Amazons are their age and u lew
cavalry sabrcs. Their clothing consists
of loose hose fastened bel;w the knee
and a short riding jacket with a red
pirdle, while a Bulgarian kalpak is worn
ss a headdress. The Amazons carry
ont their daring innovation even to
stridins horses like dragons. The chief
of this singular band is the lady who IN

captive Gavril Pasha in an open wager

SymDtOms Of Diphtheria.

DR.. Nagle, of the New York bureau of
vital statistics, was asked by a reporter:
."Can you give a plain description of the
SYMPTOMS of diphtheria soth at an ordin-
ary person will not mistake it for scar
letiua2N
~ ..re is a medical work." replied the
doctor, "giving information IN words that
ought to be understood"
Diphtheria is an acute infectious disease
in which there is a tendency to the tormatlon
of false membrane on mucous anu apraueo
surfaces, accompanied by considerable COIL
stitutional disturbances. 49,,
Svnntoms-After an incubation period
from twentv-four hours to ten days, shlVer-
ing and vomiting set in and the temperature
increases, tho throat is sore with soma still
ness about the neck. The fauces becomes OF a
dark red color, the tonsils swollen and at the
end of two days from the beginning OF the
disease, a quantity of minute white points
appear on the surface OF both sides OF the
sfauces.
As these spots increase in numbers they
coalesce and form a thick yellowish white
membrane. This sometimes consists OF a
| single piece, but is often scattered over the
surface in separate patches. Ths cervicai
Glands become enlarged, tho tongue coated
with white or brown fur, the pulse tempera-
ture increased and the urine albumlnous.
In the next stages the membrane separ'
! ates after leaving unhealthy sloughing ulcers.
In this stage recovery may take place, or
death may result from exhaustion. During
any period of the illness asphyxia, resulting
frSm the production of false membrane in
the larynx or bronchial tubes, may be fatal
In the course of the disease a roseolus rash
may appear over the body.
Convalescence after diphtheria is very slow
Often paralysis of the groups OF In'scie'
shows itself within six months from the be
ginning of the attack. The removal of tn
false membrane is of no avail.

Some Historic Beds.

A curious precaution was observed
during the Middle Ages with regard to
queens about to be confined, and proba-
Div to all ladies of rank. They were
secluded in bedrooms Of which the bed
curtains, tester, tapestry or wall hang
iprs, were carefully chosen, so that
there might be nothing in them to daz-
zle the eye or awake gloomy thoughts in
the mind. Figure subjects were not
allowed on the tapestry.
The cradle of King Henry V. is pre-
served in Monmouth Castle. 1t is not
unlike the old cradle in South Kensing-
ton. 1t is a crib, panneled, swinging
on two posts, one at each end, rudely
carved into falcons. There is no hall
tester over the head.
The Elizabethan bed is still to be seen
in many varieties. 1t stood under a
canopy or tester, on four stout columns,
two of which formed the framework OF
the bed head. Sometimes the actual
bedstead was within the paneled en-.
closure, and could be drawn out and
pushed back without disturbing 80 large
a structure. 1t was derived from the
pancled bed of the Middle Ages, to
which reference has been made. On the
columns of the older beds were figures
or half-heures of the four evangcllsts
A medieval ballad mentions ''the four
gospellorous (gospellors or evangeIists?
on the four pillorus" (pillars), and
heads of angels call of n mould
The tradition of these old beds survives
in the invocation still used in some
country places. "Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John, bless the bed that 1 sleep on
Two angels at my head, four angels
round nv bed; two to watch and two
to pray, and two to carry my soul away,
etc. After the reformation this ola
usage died out. The columns OF the
Tudor bed have square dado bases, and
in general character resemble 6alusters
on a large scale. The bed head is sup
ported by carryatides, or terminal figures,
and paneled with arch or square re-
cesses sometimes containing figure cary
ing of some merit. The tester is pan
eled, and all frame pieces, wherever
set, are carved with decorative mold
ines of many kinds. Many beds made
of oak for the English market were i'm;
ported from Flanders, the bed heads anc
feet COMPOSED of many tiny open arches
Bed testers, finished with details repre-
scnting hanging fringes and decorative
detail borrowed from drapery, may gen
crallv be set down rs of Flemish origin

Legal Age Of Majority.

Bv the Roman law the period of in
fancy lasted till the seventh year, child
hood continued till the hubble or mar
risseable age, which for males was four
teen, and females twelve, and during
the period Of adolescence following,
males were allowed to manage their own
property, make a will, or contract mar
riage independent of the consent of par
ents or guardians, but the age of majority
was not reached until twenty-five. BY
the English law, which has been in force
since Anglo-Saxon times, there are two
great periods into which life IS divided
Infancy, which lasts in both sexes un-
til the twenty-frst year, and manhood or
womanhood. But the period of infancy
is divided into several stages, marked by
the growing development of rights and
obligations. Thus at twelve years of age
a mile may take the oath Of allegiance,
and at fourteen both sexes are held to
have arrived at years of discretion, and
NAV therefore choose guardians, give
evidence in court, and consent or dlsa-
gree to a marriage. A female, indeed,
has this latter privilege from her twelfth
year, but neither sex can legally marry,
Without the consent of parents or guar
dams, until the age of majority has been
reached. At fourteen, too, both sexes
are fully responsible to the criminal law;
but under the age of twenty-one neither
can execute q valid will. At the latter
age both males and females obtain their
full legal rights aud become liable to all
legal obligations. In Scotland o minor
between the ages of fourteen and twenty
one has more personal rights than In
England at the same age, as he a dis"
pose by will of movable property, make
contracts, carry on trade, aud marry
without tie consent Of guardians. In
France, by the Napoleonic CODE, males
may marry at the age of eighteen ana
females at fifteen, with the approval OF
guardians; at sixteen a minor may devise
One half of his or her property; execute
the will of another, and at twenty-one,
full personal and legal rights are granted.
In the United States the English law is
generally followed. A guardian may be
Chosen at fourteen, and the age of ma
iority, which gives free disposal of per-
sons and property, is usually fixed 1ol
the X at twenty-one, though in some
of the States females arc considered 30,
age" in a legal point CT view, at eight
cen. The age at which male citizens are
allowed the franchise right differs in diff;
ferent countries. In Switzerland and
Hungary it is twenty; in the United
States, and most of the South American
republics, Canada and Great Britain, II
is twenty -one; also in Belgium, France
Italy, Portugal and Sweden. In Hol
, land it is twenty-three; in Austria
twenty four; in Spain, Norway, Prussia
and nearly all of the German states
twenty. five. and in Denmark it is thirty.

Bill Nye OH Fens.

I am convinced that there is great
economy in keeping hens If we have
sufficient room for them and a thorough
knowledge of how to manage the fowl
properly. But to the professional man.
who is not familiar with the habits of
the hen and whose mind does not nat
urally and i%nstinctively turn henward,
I would say: Shun her as you would the
deadly upas tree of Piscatequis county,
Maine.
Nature has endowed the hen with but
q limited amount of brain force. Any
one will notice that, if we will compare
the skull of the average self made hen
with that of Daniel Webster, taking
careful measurements directly over the
ton from one ear to the other. The we'll
informed brain student will at once
notice a great falling off in the region of
reverence and an abnormal bullying out
in the location of alimentivencss.
Now take your tape-measure and be-
ginning at memory, pass carefully over
the occipital bone to the base OF the
broin in the region of love of home and
offspring and you will see that, while the
hen suffers much in comparison with the
statesman in the relative size of sublim-
ity, reflection, spirituality, time, tune,
etc., when it comes to love of home and
offspring she shines forth with great
splendor.
The hen does not care for the sublime
in nature. Neither does she care for
music. Music hath no charms to soften
her tough old breast. But she loves her
home and her country. I have sought
to promote the interests of the hen to
some extent, but I have not been a
marked success in that line.
I can write a poem in fifteen minutes.
I always could dash off q poem whenever
1 wanted to and a very good poem, too,
for a dashed poem. I could write a
speech for a friend in Copgress-a speech
that would be printed il the Congress
sionaz Record and 60 all over the United
States and be read by no one. I could
enter the field of letters anywhere and
attract attention, but when it comes to
setting q hen l feel that l am not worthy.
I never feel my utter unworthiness as L
do in the presence of a setting hen.
When the adult hen in my presence
expresses q desire to set I excuse myself
and 20 away. That is the supreme
moment when a hen desires to be alone.
That is no time for me to intrude with
ms shallow levity. I never do it.
1t is after death that I most fully ap-
preciate the hen. When she has been
cut down early in life and fried respect
her. No one can look upon the still fea-
lures of a young hen overtaken by death
in life's young morning, stuffed out, as
it were, like an old tin lantern in a gale
of wind, without being visibly affected.
