Inherited Diseases.

No fact of nature is moro pregnant with awful meaning than the fact of the inheritance of disease.
 Modern science, which has illuminated so many dark corners of nature, has shed new light on the ominous words of the Scriptures, "The sins of the fathers, shali be visited upon the children unto the third and fourth generation. n Fifty per cent. of cases If consumption, cancer and scrofula, run in families through inheritance. Insanity is hercd- itary in a marked degree, but, fortu- Lately, like many other heredii ary diseases, tends 10 wear itself out, the stock becoming extinct. A d.stin- guished scient.s st truly says: '.No organ or texture or the body is exempt from the chance of being the subject of hereditary disease" Probably nor, chronic diseases, which permanently modify the structure and functions of the body, are moro or less lia ble to b. in- herited. The important and far-reaching practical deductions from such facts are obvious to reflccting minds, and the best means for preventing or curing these d senses is n subject of intense in terest to all. Fortunately nature has provided remedy, which experience has attested as infall:bie, and the reme- dy is the world-famous Swift's Specific, a p4re vegetable compound-nature's antidote for all blood poisors. To the afflicted it is blessing of inestimable value. An interest ng treatise cn "Blood and Skin Diseases" will Le mailed free by addressing

The following decidedly tough yarn IS vouched for by the Silver City Enterprise: A rare exhibi- ton of horsemanship was dis played on the streets last week. A cowboy who had filled his tank with liquid lightning, offered to bet $50 that he "could ride any thing that wore hair." Another cowboy took the bet, and brought forth a cayuse famouse for bucking. The drunken cowboy was not slow in mounting and while the cayuse was rearing and pitching, crossed both cf his legs around the horn of the saddle, than quietlp rolled a cigarette and satand smoked as contentedly as though he were in a rocking chair. When the horse ceased to pitch the money was turned over and the most of the boys took theirs straight. As the rider drained his poison. he quietly remarked, "Well, I thought you had something hare to ride"

been attended by the frequent submiS-
sion of a number of interesting facts.
The statement is usually made that the
greater amount of knowledge and Guilt
Walton is to be found among the repre-
sentatives of the gentler sex. Naturally
the women themselves make this claim,
and it is supported by their own argu-
ments and the arguments of admirers
and champions of the sex who consider
themselves SO we'll educated that they
cannot be particularly interested
i'll any determination of the queS-
| ton. The young man of society
is commonly described, and per-
haps not entirely without rea-
son, as sort OF American Capt. Craw-
ley. Big, gOOd-natured, simple and
thoroughly ignorant of everything per-
tanning to literature, the arts of politics,
but well up in sporting matters, learned
as to the pedigree of horses and the
breed of famous dogs, and thoroughly
competent to analvZe and criticiSe a
pugilistic encounter from a strictly
scientific point of view. Those who
take this position in the matter tri-
umpfantly refer to the fact that for
eignerS who come to American and who
visit the larger cities through the cOun-
try usually bear testimony to the bright
ness, not to say brilliancy of American
women in conversation, and express
polite establishment over the variety and
profundlty of their information on all
subjects of human interest ana the IA
cility with which they refer to author
ties.
1t is perhaps not generally known
that New York women at least are pos
Sessed of an unfair advantage in any
contest of this kind over their male
competitors. Surprising for moment
that the young man and the young
woman are equally well versed
in the questions of the day when
finished. They leave school, and it is
not commonly known that the young
woman is afforded especial facilities
after she has made her debut in the
fashionable world for following up her
studies. There are several clever
woman in New York who make a cir
cult of the houses of prominent society
people during the week, and in the
drawing rooms meet class or club of
women belonging to society, and lecture
to them for an hour or an hour and a
half on topics of the day. The method
OF this lecture is to take up the subjects
which are occupying space
AND ATTENTION
in the newspapers and to explain and
elucidate them in such way that the
facts involved and their relations to
each other are readily apprehended
even by the most careless mind. Home
rule, Gladstone's policy, the Mills tariff
bill, the interstate commerce law, the
Boulanger movement in France, Mat
thew Arnold'S Nineteenth Century arti-
Gle on America, the opening of the Salon
in Paris and similar subjects relating to
art, to literature, society or politics are
taken up one after another, and the ex-
act situation and significance briefly and
clearly explained.
In short, these teachers give a practi-
cal answer to such eager applicants as

opposite her own were occupied by a
gentleman, seemingly in i'll health, who
seldom left his apartments and who
preserved a strict incOgnito. When
ever Miss Russell was practicing he
would leave the door of his drawing
room open and sit near it, so as not to
lose one note of her voice. The most
superb flowers Ga much more costly and
recherche gift in that severe climate
than in America or England reached
her daily, but without line or visit
ing card to tell who it was that
had sent them. Finally Miss Russell
transmitted to him her thanks for
the flowers. and message expressing
her hope that he would come to the
opera some evening to hear her in one
of her principal roles. ''Tell Miss Rus
SELL" was the answer, "that | prefer to
listen to her voice from distance in the
SecluSlon OF my own ROOM" That day
the customary floral offering was a
horseshoe formed of magnificent roses,
and with it came request that Miss Rus
sell would send back to the donor one of
the roses. This she did very willingly,
being pleased to testify in any way her
gratitude for such delicate and con-
slant attention. The next day came
basket of rare orchids. and to the han
die was tied velvet case containing
. rose with stalk and foliage all in dia-
monds. AS usual, not a line or word
accompanied the gift. And before it
was sent the silent gentleman had
quilted the hotel, so that Miss Russell
was unable even to thank him
for his superb present. All her
inquiries respecting his identity
were fruitless. Evidently the
people at the hotel had received their
orders, for all that they would say was
that he was very great parsonage, and
that ne desired to remain unknown.
Now, to finish the story properly, he
ought to have returned and w0Oed and
welded the beauteOus American singer.
But princes, as a rule, do not marry
prime dome; so that all that remains
of this brief romance is the diamond
rose-a testimonial of an admiration
that was never even put into words.

lined with blue. pink, yellow or green
ca mbric, with pillow shamS to match,
is all that is required. Ina young girls
room the iron bedstead is painted pale
pink, a coat of varnish giving it an en-
ameled look. A plain Swiss muslin
coverlid and pillow sham are edged
with narrow lace and lined with pale
pink cambria. The corners of the
pillow sham are finished with fiat bow
of pink ribbon, and nothing daintier
can be imagined.
A double iron bedstead decorated
with brass balls, is painted white with
gold lines, and has coverlid of white

lined with cambria of delicate yellow
shade. A narrow edging of ball fringe
completes the spread and pillow shams
are made to match. The spreads should
be made large enough to reach nearly 10
the floor on either side, and across the
foot plain piece may be made and
fastened across like a valance. A
bedstead is doubtless a more
graceful object when draped
with curtains, and certainly no
enthusiastic stickler tor hygiene
could object to lace or thin muslin cur
tains, which may be unlooped and
thrown behind the rails at night. The
simplest and cheapest way is to have a
long, slender pole projecting over the
bed, with ball at the end. The pole is
screwed into circular piece of wood on
the wall at the back of the bed, and the
lace or muslin curtains simply thrown
across it; or they may be fastened to
the pole by rings, or leasing" made
and the pole run through it. A small
hook may be screwed into the wall at
each side of the bed and the curtains
gathered together and tied back with
ribbons or simple bands of the material.

How the Lynx-Eyed Chaperone
Makes known Her Peculiar
Business.
New York Mail
This is the time of the year when the
professional chaperOne moves from the
city to Newport or Saratoga. At Asbury
Park they have no need of her. The
professional chaperone is really pro-
feSSional escort. She has not arrived at
that dignity of station where mammas
or uncleS put our petted darling of
fortune under her care, with or without
a money recOmpenSe, to be responsible
for morning, afternoon and evening I'M
til turned over safely to the tender mer-
cies of husband. The professional es-
cort's duties are more simple and her
business more precarious. She adver-
tiSes in small way in theater pro-
gramme or weekly, not daily, news
paper. Your true chaperone never
advertiseS at all. She makes
it known in modest notices to
the public that she escorts
ladies to the theater or, if they like, to
the races. If mamma wants to send a
couple of girls out for all evening she
can put them into the professional es-
cort'S trusty hands. This lady will call
for them, suitably dressed, take them to
their seats, sit beside them, if a seat is
purchased for her; if not, be on hand
to see them safely home when the
curtain falls. All this for possibly
S1.25. AT Saratoga, where she takes
up her quarters in July, she can be re-
tanned on any occasion where the regu-
lar guardian, or dragon, in whichever
light she may be regarded, is indis-
posed. She will take a young heiress
driving or walking. or sit with her on
the piazza, or have an eye on her at
concert or hop, faithfully warding off
the approaches of the impecuni0us
young man. Sometimes she is en-
gagged by the week when papa has de-
posted his darling and gone to
the city to business, and then she
thinks herself decidedly in luck. She is
not i'll any way numerous, but l have
seen two, seen the advertisement of one
other and heard of three or four. If
les convenanceS in such matters grow
too French we shall have to hire chap
erones, for American mothers are too
busy with their own affairs to devote
themselves to their daughters.

those who in less favored circumstances
in life apply to the newspapers who
run column headed: ANSWERS to
Correspondents" and who want to
learn how to talk fluently and agreea-
bly, in the drawing-room or at the din
ner table. 1t is matter for no wonder,
therefore, that when these deliberately
coached society women, who have abb
sOrbed information respecting all queS-
tions of public concern in the same
highly condensed form which they take
their physical nourishment flor beef
tea, sOft-bOiled eggs and calvesfoot
jelly are the favorite viands), are able
when they meet distinguished foreign
ers to converse with them in so prompt
and glib and entertaining fashion that
the foreigners are left in condition of
helpless bewilderment and astonish-
ment.
/ Of course society men do not and can
not carry out any such system of sup
Elementary education as this. They go
to business early in the morning and
they are at it all day. They only get up
town in time for their dinner, and in
winter they are expected by their wives
or fiancees to go to balls at II o'clock and
dutifully escort them home at 4, when
their business down town demands
their temperance at the Office not later
than or ten. This disposition of hours
certainly leaves but little time to be de-
voted to mental or physical culture.
And partly because they have more
time, and partly because every society
woman realizes how important a thing
beauty and strength have come to be in
the matrimonial market, New York
women are to-day much stronger and
healthier as rule than the men are. A
few minutes on Broadway, between
Fourteenth street and Thirty-second, on
the west side of the street of a Saturday
afternoon will demonstrate the truth of
this assertion. The women as rule
are fresh OF face, erect of carriage, their
heads are well poised and their arms are
well rounded. Their figures are trim,
and they walk along with strong and
regular stride. The men, OH the other
hand, are too often sallow and loose
jOinted, flat-chested and hollow-eyed;
and certainly little else can be expected
when the late hours, usually kept by
them, are considered, and it is remem-
bered how many dozens of cigarettes
they smoke during the day and how
many cocktails are imbibed.
