Ultra Fast and Fashionable.

There are ultra fast and fashionable
women, whose salons are entertaining but
not safe. Society is a mosaic, in which the
false jewels shine more brightly than the
true. An instinctively pure and imperial
nature, however, walks thu ough such salon
to repudiate the bad and to extract the good;
but how is it for those who are gentle, unsus-
pecting, ignorantt How for those who are
only half good sn3 open TO temptation, which
is the position oe more than half the worlda
The influence of one ultra fast and fash
ionable woman," whose principles are ques-
tionable does more injury to society than q
thousand essays can tell, and even a woman
who has no particular vice, but only an idle
love of pleasure, with this desire for ce-
lebrity which is at best questionable, Is one
Of the evil forces which are undermining the
social reputation of American women at
home and abroad. The presence Of bad man
ners, loud, unconventional behavior, is attrib-
uted to bad morality, when it is simply a
carelessness Of outward appearances
Now, If there we're beginning of homo
influences, home auusements and home cult
ure, much of this might be obviated- Mira

A Box on the Ear.

One Of Browning's most beautiful and pa
thetic poems, and one Ineligible to whom
soever runs, commentaries the act of an old
Earl OF Arundel, who, having struck his little
child ON the head had the picture Of himself
and the child painted, the child as be be-
came in after years, imbecile from the effects
of that blow. 1t would be well, we think,
for parents, and for ell those having children
on their hands, to commit these verses to
memory, and put the lesson in practice; for
the injury done 10 children by the quick and
careless box on the ear that is thought moth
ing of at the time is something incalculable
1t is impossible to hit q tender child blow
on so delicate an organ as the ear, and ons
having such close connection with the brain,
without doing an evil and unseen work, even
when the blow is given with the fiat and open
hand. The action, it has been fully ascer-
tanned, has produced violent inflammation in
the ear, and running discharges for years;
blood has been known to follow it inlmedi-
ately; and when this has not happened par
tial and even total deafness has been the con-
seqence in many instances. Intercranial Diff
ficulties of a dangerous type are not at ali
rare either, as the result of these admoni-
tons; idiocy has been traced to them and in
more than one case surgically examined it
has been found that fatal brain disease has
followed box on the ear.-Harper's Weekly.

Two Parisians named Berard and Four

twelve months Imprisonment respect
lively, for having practiced series of very
ingenious frauds on keepers of public
houses in the metropolis They were in
the habit of visiting the landlords and
offering them barrels of excellent wine at
greatly reduced prices. The liquor which
they gave the publicans 70 taste was
superb. and the bargain was generally
concluded on the spot. a few days after
ward the unlucky dealer found that the
wine which he had bought was detestable.
Since their conviction the men have made
q full confession Berard used to keep a
small bottle OF good wine up his sleeve.
and when he made pretense of fEAng the
glass from the barrel be was In reality

bottle to taste The trick was carried out
with considerable address. and was never
detected by his dupes.
Another dodge" 20 quote his own ex-
preston was to pour into barrel OF 200
litres forty litrcs OF frst-class wine. The
remainder of the barrel was then filed up
with water. slowly inserted by means OF

the barrel was pierced high up, and the
buyer was again persuaded to taste the
liquor to show there was no deception

Work of Southern Women.

As in St PauIs cathedral, London, on the
monument to Christopher Wren, so we can
say Of the work of southern women: Look
aroundl" As nothing surpassed her cour-
age, her fortitude, her untiring patience and
energy, her persistent effort during the wer,
SO the still greater demand for such virtues
after the battle was over, found her as ready
and responsive as before. Wherever woman
can labor without losing the dignity of woln-
anhood, the women of ..the south 60 In the
home, in the school room, at the ledger and
the desk, with the needle, the pen, the pen
Gil, the brush, in music, in useful and deco
rative art, and all handicrafts where deft-
ness and delicacy supersede physical strength,
she is at work; in short, whatever her head
and hands find TO do, she is doing willingly
and uncomplainingly.
Out from the stately homes Of wealth and
luxury, out from the genial Preside of CON-
fort and thrift, from all ranks of life and
degrees of fortune, from the stone mansions
Of Virginia to the graceful and picturesque
villas of Alabama canebrakes and the Misss-
sippi valley, she has gone, at the call of duty,
into the rank and file of working women,
clad in the invulnerable armor of patient
endurance and womanly dignity. And for
this she is entitled to sympathy and honor

THE FASHIONABLE DISEASE.
A Remedy for What the Homeopathic
People Dignity as "Neurasthenia-''

A Remedy for What the homeopathic
People Dignity as ''Neurasthenia-"
1t is rare that any disease, with big name
or little name, receives a more vigorous,
practical or common sense treatment than
did this same ''neurasthenian at the hands of
Dr. Julia Holmes Smith in the discussions of
the Illinois State homeopathic Medical as
ISOLATION the other day. Notwithstanding its
formidable name it appears that this aiiment
is fashionable one, and is only synonym
for laziness. As poor and commonplace peo-
pie have TO work they are never afflicted
with it, and can't afford to have it. Work is
q panacea for many ills. It doesn't allow
time to think much about physical ailments.
1t doesn't admit of trips to mountains. sea-
side resorts or Europe, because the workers
can't afford them, and hence can't afford
to have the diseases which require this favor
lite method of treatment. Mrs. DR.. Smith
talks plainly when she says Its high time
to stop putting women to bed for twenty
DAYS or more when there Is absolutely moth
ing the matter with them," and again: The
real truth of the matter is that ninety-nine
out of every hundred Of your little ladies
who are Frustrated are not so much sick
as they are lazy" Having thus defined the
nature of the disease, Mrs. DR.. Smith pre-
scribes the remedy:

SO because of administered rebukes We once
knew man whose pretty little wife never
dared tel him how much she paid for the
new bonnet and gown, even though they
were bought with "tbe butter and egg
money" her own perquisites in the country
where she lived. She usually deducted GER
tain portion from the price paid for each
article; and she has even left the new bonnet
at neighbours for a few days after it was
bought till her lord and master should have
become reconciled to the new gown. This
breaking the matter to him gently was abso-

and, in our opinion, the deceit she practiced
