AS They do in Holland.

You cross n railroad track and, cast
inc a glance along the iron path,
woman, waving a white signal flag,
catches your eye. She is the watch
woman at the crossing. At every rail
road in Holland this position is filled
by woman, and railroad officials have
assured me that no accident has ever
been caused by a watchwoman's care
lessness. They receive twenty guldens
($S) per month. A man would require
double that salary and might get in
toxicated once in a while.
Distinctions in privileges between
married and single women are so thor
oughly established here by social Gus
tom as to be observed in the everyday
associations of the sexes. A native
will discover whether the couple walk
ing on the street in front of him are
married or not, this discovery being
made easy by the strict adherence of the
populace to the ancient custom cum
pulscrily introduced into the country
when under the iron rule of ''Alva the
Bloody" An unmarried lady always
takes the right arm of her escort, while
the married one selects the left side of
her husband. SO deeply has this Gus
tom entered into the life of Hollanders
shat at Il church wedding the bride
enters the editice on the right side of
the groom, the young wife returning
on the left side of her husband when
the ceremony has been performed.
No unmarried lady can dream of GO
ing to church, concert or any other
place of public assembly without the
escort of parents or male. members of
her family. She can not take walk,
pay visit or go shopping unaceom-
panied by her mother or other chape-
ron. Until the betrothal of the young
lady has been announced, she remains
the sole charge of father and mother.
and she makes acquaintan only in
the presence of a third party.
Unmarried daughters in that coun-
try are chaperoned to all places of
amusement. Even dancing parties are
interSpersed with singing, reeitations,
ETC., for the amusement of the elders
Of the family. who sit around the ia
bles slipping their coffee. wine CT other

people dance. Here the young must
make the best of their opportunities,
for when it pleases the parents to 60

A Tropical Night at Sea.

Night: steaming toward the equator,
with Demerara for a goal A terrific
warm wind that compels the taking in
of every awning and wind-sail. Driv-
ing tepid rain. Blackness intense,
broken only by the phosphorescence
of the sea, which tonight displays ex-
traordinary radiance.
Our wake is a great broad seething
river of fire, whittier than strong moon
light; the glow is bright enough to
read by. At its center the trail is
brightest; at the edges it pales cloud
lily, curling like a smoke of phosphorus.
Great sharp lights burst up momentar-
lily through it like meteors. Weirder,
however, than this wake of strange
light are the long slow fires that keep
burning about us, at a distance, out in
the dark. Nebulous "reminiscences
arise, change form, and pass; serpen-
tine flames wriggle by; then there are
long billowing crests of fire. These
seem to be formed of millions of tiny
sparks that light up all at the same
time. glow brightly awhile, disappear
reappear, and swirl away in pro-
longed smouldering.
Morning: steaming still south, through
vast blue day. Deep azure heaven,
with bluish-white glow in the horizon
indigo sea.
Then again nj @ht, all luminous and
very calm. The Southern cross burns
Whitley. We are nearing the enor-
nous shadows of the South American
coast.
Morning. The light of an orange
colored sun illuminates, not blue.
but a greening-yellow, sickly sea-
thick, foul, CLASSY smooth. We are in
the shadows. The line-caster keeps
calling. hour after hour. 'And half
four, sir.'' Quarter less five, sir!'
There is little variation in the sound
ings-always a quarter of u fathom or
half a fathom difference. The air has
a sickly heaviness, like the air above
swamp.
And blue sky! The water-Green
shows Olive and brOwnish tones altern-
ately; the foam looks vicious aud vel
low; our wake is ochre-colored, very
yellow and very shIny-looking. 1t
seems unnatural that a blue sky should
hang over so hideous a waste of wa
ter; it seems to demand a gray blind
sky, such gray and such green being
the col0rs of Il fresh-Water inundation.
We are only five or six degrees north
of the equator. Very low the land lies
before us; thin dark green line, sug
gesting marshincss, miasma, paludal
odors: and always the nauseous color
of the water deepens.
Even this same gashtly flood washes
the great penal colony of Cayenne.
There, when convict dies, the body
is borne to the sea, and great bell is
tolled. And then is the viscous, 9lau-
cous sea surface furrowcd suddenly by
fins innumerable, swart, sharp, trian-
gular--rhe legions of the sharks rush
ing to the hideous funeral. They know
the bell.-LGycadjo HeGTR, IN Hauper'S

WOMAN As MARTYR

History records the sufferings of
countless martyrs, and we read of them
with wonder and sympathy. But there
are living to-day in our midst thousands
of other martyrs who have far stronger
claims upon our consideratiou-women
who are sufferers from those ailments
peculiar to their sex, our wives, daught-
ers and sisters, perhaps, whose lives are
an unremitting rouEd OF suffering us
there no relief?' they cry. Yes, there
is; DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
will remove that dragging down" feel
ing, will Danish that backache. will re-
store every function to its normal condi-
tion. To all sufferers from female con-
plaints-and their name is I.egion-we
say: get the Prescription at once; it
will be worth far more than its weight in
gold to you.

The Issue Defined.

By crying free trade the Republicans
hoped to create stampede, and, in
1884. carry the election in q panic.
Instead, they find that the purposes
of the Democratic parry are embodied
in carefully drawn bill, a bill which
Democrats are able and willing to de.
fend; bill such as Grant and Garfield
and Arthur urged Congress to pass,
and which can be understood even by
men little informed concerning public
affairs.
The Republicans have no bill, but
they have platform, drawn to antago-
nize the Democratic measure on every
issue.
Instead of lowering the tariff and
removing its Irregularities and Unequal
tiles, they propose to advance taxation
and preserve every protective feature
by giving the people free whisky.
The Democrats favor q tariff averag.
ing 40 per cent.
The Republicans demand psobibitory
duties.
The Democrats ask for freer impor-
tations of necessaries of life. in order to
limit the powers of the trusts.
The Republicans insist on increasing
duties, thus checking imports and ex-
tending the power of the trusts.-IN New

A nrrll,ner.a Gront Luclx.

A well known Cincinnatian was over in
Kansas City opening his eyes to the al-
most fabulous stories Of accumulated
wealth which are there on everybody's
tongue Hc tells OF one lady who was
formerly milliner in Maysyille, Ky, and
migrated to Kansas City ten or fifteen
years ago She began in Kansas City the
business she had followed in Kentucky,
and was more or less successful until an
old mud hole on one Of the streets OK the
city fell to her in liquidation Of $1,000
debt. This the lady accepted with n great
deal of reluctance and with the shedding
of many tears, since she did not believe
the property to be worth half the money
1t had cost her She, however, finally
rallied from the encouragement and re-
fused a cash offer for the property, an
offer which amounted to little over half
the SO, 500.
About a year ago the New York Mutual
Life Insurance company began casting
about Kansas City for a site on which to
locate s., ZOO, 900 building The proper
ty owned by the milliner, once mud hole,
was on corner seventy feet on one street
and eighty feet on the other. They pur-
chased lots on each side OF this corner and
then had lot in the shape of capital l..
They wanted her lot and offered her $780,
900 for it, She refused, and they kept
raising the offer until they reached the
enormous sum of $4,000. Still she re-
fused, and then she supplemented the re-
fusal with the statement: Gentlemen,
You 90 ahead and put up your building,
and no matter how high you go III build
on my lot one story higher than you do.
I'm going to raise monument to myself
right on that corner.n And, it is said,
next summer she will keep her word.
The SO, 0OO, 600 building is now about com
plete and is ten stories high. The little
two story building which the milliner
owns on the corner and which she win
tear down to build greater nets her an
annual income in rentals of $21, 1,OOO.-
