Little Baanx and Bellies.

Parents make great mistake in
always staying at home and per-
hitting their young sons and daugh-
tiers in their early teens to go out in
society alone or with others equally
young. For young girls to have
"beaux" is exceedingly silly and
dangerous. The young must have
amusements; but father, mother or
some other mature relatives is their
best companion when they go out to
entertainments. A girl should be
learning TO work and thinking OF
books instead OF beaux until she is
twenty years old. And yet many a
woman is wife and mother before
she reaches that age. How pitia
BILE! All the poetry attaching to
very youthful brides is in the bios
SONS and the veil. No woman is
fitted mentally or physically in this
climate to assume the duties in
volved much before she is twenty
five years of age. Maternal duties,
particularly, entail far less suffer
ing, care and anxiety if postponed
until a woman is fully and soundly
developed, both mentally and ply
sically, and the prospect for the do
mestfc happiness OF all ceneerned is
much brighter.

Mental RsaeatiOns.


Would that women generally
could be induced to regard clancy
work of the mind'' as important as
the fancy work of def fingers.
Many of our readers live in towns
and cities where language schools
and classes, Chautauqua circles and
other societies ere either permanent
or frequent institutions. Why
should not a married woman refresh
her mind and bring back her school
girl lightness Of heart by taking al
vantage of such opportunities
Surely no one has such need of va
ried knowledge and accomplish
meHts as 9 wife and mother. A
mother ought 70 keep growing men
tal'y-she is naturally expected by
her children to be q perfect encyc-
lopedia to draw from. She who
gives up her reading and interest in
living questions of the day loses al
least half her proper self.

A Remarkable Case.

Mr.. @. A. Proehl, New Portage, Sum

has been sick for about five years. In the
first place the doctor called it leucorrhRa,
and treated it about one year, and she
grew worse, and turned to liberation of
the womb, and was treated for that two
years, but she grew worse and the doctor
gave her up. Then l employed DR.. I'm

but under his treatment she grew worse.
She was paralyzcd; she had lost all of the
sense of feeling and her eyesight. She
could not walk for nearly two years.
About six months ago Underwood gave
her up. She tried your PERUNA. She
has taken three bottles, and it did more
good than any other medicine. The pa
Talysis has about left her; her eyesight is

Collecting Nlokeis By Electricity.

DR.. Wellington Adams, a St.
Louis electrician, has perfected and
patented an electric system that
will doubtless revOluti0nize the tel
ephone service of the country by
making it as universal as the use
of first-class ranges or cooking
stoves in well regulated households.
The system is most valuable from
the fact that it Elll relieEe q pa
tient, long suffering people from the
great army of dead-heads who are
continually reaping the benefits of
the telephone service at some one
else's expense, so no one can, under
the new plan, make q desired con-
nection by wire without first depos-
iting a nickel, or a metal check of
precisely the same size and weight,
in the telephone they may be using.
If the service required has been Oh
taiped, that is, connection with
certain telephone nunber, the nick
Ell, or check, drops down into ap
iron cash box the instant the ear
phone is returned to its place. On
the contrary, If the patron falls to
receive a response from the num-
Der wanted he simply presses a
spring push button before replacing
the earphone and asks for the re-
t4rn of bis money when the central
operator touches q key and the
nickel slides out on a metal tray to
the party it belongs to. In this
way the money, after having been
deposited, is under absolute control
of the central operator until afterthe
customer replaces the earphone; it
is that essential movement which
causes the money to drop out Of
reach of every person bnt the col:
lector sent around to gather in the
cash boxes.
1t is proposed to place these tele-
phones where ever desired without
a rent charge to parties permitting
public access to them and in con
sideration of taking care of the
property . percentage Of the re.
ceipts is to be paid to them. Tele=
phones for private use will be put
in on a guarantee of 81 per month;
a discount of one cent being allow
ed for each time the telephone is
used in excess of 100 times during
the course of one month. II is es-
timated that parties using these
telephones very frequently will be
able to secure the service as low as
half a cent a time by means OF
checks procured from the company.
The system is now in public ser
vice in St. Louis, giving the best
of satisfaction.

Modestu-

Nothing is more amiable than
true modesty, and nothing is more
contemptible than the false. The
one guards virtue, the other betrays
it. True modesty is ashamed to do
anything that is repugnant to the
rule of right reason; false modesty
is ashamed to do anything that is
opposite to the humor of the COM
pany. True modesty avoids every
thing that is unreasonsble.-Addi

The Tariff Bill.


We are not quite certain but
that Mr.. Morrison did a good thing
for the protection sentiment of the
south jn presenting his hill for tar
iii reductions. In striking so di-
rectly at some of the Industries of
the south, as we have heretofore
pointed out, he awakened an inter
est in favor Of protection in places
where be leEst expected. The rice
and sugar producers, TIE lumber
men, The coal and iron ore miners,
all want protection just as much
much as any one else. The dan
ger that now threatens them will
cohvinee them of the necessity of
united action Of prStsgti9p for the
south, and in this WIN, we hope, do
good. Even the Charleston News
and Courier is opposed to this bill.
Iu late issue it says:
1T is not at all probable that
there will be any tariff Legislation
at the present session of congress
The bill proposed by Mr.. Morrison
is so manifestly unjust to the bust
ness interests Of the south that it
cannot be expected to draw any
strenth from this section,
The Savannah board of trade have
forwarded a memorial to congress
strongly protesting against the pas
sage of the bill, upon the ground
that it discriminates againt south
ern products, and that "more than
one half Of the proposed reductions
falls upon the products of very
small section of the country, with
out any reduction on articles con-
sumed by the same section" Three
of the four principal products of
the south-lumber, rice and sugar
have been singled out by Mr..
Morrison, upon WHICH the duties
are to be reduced by more than
twenty per cent, while the reduc-
tion of duties on articles in while
the north and west are interested
amounts to only about five per cent.
The rice growers of Georgia also
are strongly opposed to the Nor
rison measure upon the ground
that if the proposed reduction of
duty on foreign rice should DE
agreed to it you id be equivalent TO
removing all useful protection to,
and destroying all profit in, the
production :of domestic rice, and
virtually throwing open American
maj kets 10 a foreign product lower
in quality and without a guarantee
of lower prices"
A Georgia Democrat put tho
case in a nutshell when he says
bill that the Morrison will make the
tariff only more Objectionable by
unjust discrimination against the
agricultural and business interests
of the south. While it proposes to
reduce the duty on rice and sugar,
the products of the south, nothing
is said about the 10 per cent. per
busheI duty on oats, and the 45 per
cent. per barrel duty on potatoes,
which proto CT the northern and
western farms. The bill apen
southern products to competition
which the cheap products of the
world, end will give our people moth
ing in return
Mr.. Morrison may be thoroughly
honest in his efforts at tariff revis-
ion, but the bill which he has pro
posed will not bring the need relief
TO the taxpayers Of the country,
and for this reason it will fail"

GoodSocietY.

Extremes are dangerous, partic-
ularly social extremes. People who
live in the backwoods, far from the
hustle of civilization and the com
panionship of their fellows are in
danger of losing their ambition aRd
intellectual vigor, and letting their
minds and manners grow up TO
weeds like a neglected garden;
while city people of the fashionable
circles otter wear out their bodies,
brains and nerves in the ceaseless
whirl of artificial and unwholesome
excitement. This was painfully
exemplified recently in the death of
Miss Bayard, a young woman of IN
usual loneliness in both person and
character. Her mother being an
invalid. Miss Bayard undertook to
fulfil the social duties resulting
from her fathers important posi-
ton. She was plunged into per
feet maelstrom OF social dnties and
excitements, which was more than
she could bear. Nature means that
people shall rest at night, and al
ways rebels when they turn the
hours of rest into long continued
revelry. Miss Bayard retired in
the early morning hours, giving or
ders to be called In time to dress
for reception at the white house.
When her sister went TO call her,
she found her ifeless; and the poor
mother, Frustrated by the shock,
soon succumbed and died in few
days. This ought to he a terrible
warning to ultra society people re-
garding the dangers of artificial life
and continued excitement. If peo-
pie could only realize the truth,
they would never mourn because
they are not situated so as to move
in fashionable and wealthy society.
The best society is found where
cultured and congenial minds meet
for mutual en- e tainment AMI
profit, and docs not depend upon
costly dress, late hours. and undue
excitement. As regards morals,
the two extremes of society are
about on a level; the best, purest,
and most cultured society is, as a
rule. found in the great middle
class. who are neither unduly de-
prived of the pleasure and advan-
taoes of life. nor enervated by q sur
feit If wealth and the lack OF the
incentives to ambition.

A STARTLING REVELATION.
The Experience of New York Lady Who
Was Robbed.

Not since the Tweed ring has
there been a revelation so shocking
and so disheartening to decent
American men and women, and es-
pecially to decent New Workers, as
the testimony taken yesterday be-
fore the senate investigating com
mittee. Even the Tweed ring did
not seem to ramify So far nor to
spread so foul a faint. The first
impression that is derived from this
horrible story must be that if all the
officials of the municipal govern
ment of New York were to be lock
ed up in state prison in body and
set at hard and useful labor, there
would be no mixture of injustice
that would thus be done. OF course
this hasty impression would be
wrong, but the cases of injustice
would be very few and most as
suredly private property and public
order would be safer for such trans
fer from the municipality of New
York to the cell of Sing Sing. Mo-
body who has the slightest sense of
the value of evidence can read Mrs
Hamilton affidavit without feeling
conYinced that she is telling the
literal truth-and What truth it is.
The victim of burglary finds the
head burglar is president of semi
political association the influence of
which is not despised. She finds
the receiver of the stolen goods,
with whom the burglar deals, is an
alderman of the city. In her efforts
to reclaim Der property-efforts
which take her in turn to the detec
tive bureau and to the district at
torney's office-she finds but three
officials who show any disposition
to assist-but three who seem to be
confederates of the criminals, or to
go in such fear of them that they
might as we'll he their confederates.
1 RIscoUEAGrNG STORY.

the sane when cpAin4l ig dis

cial disposition, instead of being a
disposition to do official duty-to

a disposition to hush things up and
smeoth things over and to see If the
