FAST YOUNG WOMEN.
Why Men Worth Having Never Think Of
Marrying Them

Marrying Them.
There are girls who. instead of max
ing themselves useful and calmly rest
ing in their maiden dignity. think only
of getting married. and use questions
BILE means to achieve their purpose
Forgetting the proverb: 1.-The more
haste the less speed" this sort OF girl
not infrequently assumes a fast"
style of talk, manner and dress in
order to make herself attractive to the
opposite sex. Fish may nibble at her
bait, but they will not allow themselves
to be caught A loud girl may attract
attention and have half an hour OF
popularity, but she is type of the
short-sightedness of some of her sex.
Men of the baser sort may amuse them
selves with her, but no man worth hav-
ing would think of marrying her.
There is liberty that makes US free.
and liberty that makes US slaves, and
the girls who take liberties with mod
esty of speech and manner, and who
cross over the boundary into mascu-
line territory, are not more free but
more enslaved than before. And the
appreciation Of men, which is the end
in view, is lost by the means to gain
it. Whatever men may be themselves
they like gentleness, modesty and
purity in act and thought in women.
They want their wives to be better
than themselves. They think that
women should be the conservators Of
all that is restrained, chivalrous and
gentle.-Lady BsIlaire, in Blacktooods
Magazine.

Death of Roscoe Conkling.

The earthly career of Roscoe Conkling,
New York's great senator, closed this
morning at 2 o'clock. His struggle be-
tween life and death for the past ten days
has been an heroic one in which the true
character of the man was illustrated His
death occurred in New York City and
was finally due to blood settling in the
lungs, caused by the failure of the hearts
action. His fatal illness was brought on
from his exposure in the great blizzard
the beginning of March. Mr.. Conkling
was in his 60th year.
In character Conkliug was essentially
leader of men, He was imperious, even
dom ineering in his attitude to those about
him, but his honesty and the falthfulness
of his life to his onvictions have never
been questioned, and as long as he was
in the service of the state he was poor
man. When he resumed the practice of
law he at once began to accumulate
money. 1T is said that when he resigned
the sena'orship in 1881 he borrowed so

Prohibition i'm Main.
palgn.

New YORK, April ia Portland,
Me-, special to The World says: at is
predicted by those who have studied the
growing sentiment in Maine against pro-
hbition that this state will have a high
license law within three years and that
the pioneer prohibitory state will with
draw the stringent restrictions on the
liquor traffic which have made it famous.
The recent defeat of Gen. Neal Dow, the
Father of Prohibition" in his race for
the mayoralty of Portland, is pointed to
as a very significant demonstration that
the people are sick and tired of Dow s
doctrines. When the most prominent
temperance advocate in the world at the
head of both the Democratic and Prohi-
bition regular tickets not only fails CT
election in his own city, but his nomina
ton has the effect of piling up majority
for the candidate representing free rum
and non enforcement of the law double
that which he ever received before, there
is good ground for the high-license pre-
diction.
The Democrats who catch at every
straw that looks in any way towards con-
Meeting Republicanism with Prohibition
what have they to say about Neal Dow,
the father of the Maine Prohibtory Law
running as the regular Democratic candi-
date for mayor of Portland! We await

How TO Treat the Eye with Cinder
in 1t.

in 1t.
r. w. St. Clair writes The Medical
Summary as follows:
"Nine persons out of every ten with a
cinder or any foreign substancein the eye
will instantly begin to rub the eye with
one hand, while hunting for their hand
kerchief with the other They may, and
sometimes do, remove the offending Gin
der; but more frequently they rub until
the eye becomes infamed, bind hand
kerchief around the head, and go to bed
This is all wrong. The better way is, not
to rub the eye with the cinder in at all,
but rub the other eye as vigorously as
you like.
"a few years since | was riding on an
engine. The engineer threw open the
front window, and | caught cinder that
gave me the most excruciating pain. [
hogan TO rub the eye with both hands.
Let your eye alone, and rub the other
eye this from the engineer [ know
you doctors think you know it all; but if
you will let that eye alone and rub the
other one, the cinder will be out in Two
minutes persisted heengineer. | began
to rub the Other eye; and soon | felt the
cin.ier down near the inner canthus, and

and keep at the we'll eye,' shouted tue

times, and have advised many others, and

steel, or something that cut into the ball

Why it is so, do not know; but that it is
so, [ do know, and that one may be saved
