Tho Charm Of Feminiuity.

The increasing Dissemination of Dur de-
sirable young men to marry worries fond
mammas with daughters on their hands,
and il is a problem which they have been
unable to satisfactorily solve. The most
popular reason given is that women are
extravagant, costly luxuries, in which
the average man hesitates to indulge. In
some cases this may be true; but generally
speaking this is rank nonsense. The men
of the period may think the ''horsey"
girl jolly fun, but they do not want to
marry her. Men of brains like a set to
with a woman of opinions, but they do
not want that bill of fare for breakfast,
dinner and supper. The student knows
well enough that algebra and isms are
worthless to keep household machinery in
good working order.
mol Every one of them will pick out
for a wife the clinging. modest, womanly
woman, who will be content Tor affect to
be) to shine by reflected light. No man
would willingly 60 on record as Mrs. So
and-so's husband. Now ave may as well
admit that young women are willing and
anxious to secure husbands, wherefore
there's no use In denying that il is worth
while for the girls of the time to cultivate
that otherwise definitionless charm which
is understood by the word femininity.-

Money Saved by Sanitation.

Medical men have long been familiar
with the fact that sanitation has been a
saving to the community at large in
doctors bills, In nursing and even in
days Of labor TO the industrial classes.
But il has been difficult to put results
Tito figures, SO as to impress the public
mind. Mr.. Brudenell Carter attempted
this in his inaugural address 10 the Col
lege Of State Medicine. Every case Of
fever, he calculated, cost the community
$40. The reduction in the annual death
rate from fever TO Asa per million from
the 1851 60 rate Of 90S per million rep
resented a total saving of 81, 500, 900,
''but Of this no one seemed conscious;''
while the annual cost Of scarlet fever at
the present time was Sc, 900. 900 q year.
II, therefore, we could trace scarlet fever
to a definite cause, rs a bovine disease
communicable by milk, we could adopt
precautions which "would save the coun-
try every year somewhere about half as
much money as the recent conversion OF
stocks, besides much misery" Here is
new light upon disease. IL is ~increas-
ingly preventable, and as we reduce its
virulence and range we save money

Illusions and Authorizations.

Morbid psychology is a rubric of para
mount importance to the full and clear
comprehension of the phenomena Of
mind. The genesis of illusions and hal
fluctuations, the perversion Of the natural
channels of the emotions, the disintegra-
ton of the elements of personality. the
dissolution of the logical powers-all
these problems transform the apparently
wild and chaotic picture Of the mad
house into a sad but interesting record of
the process Of character and of mind
building. This interest is heightened by
remembering that here lies the key to
the understanding Of the psychic cpl
denies that in the past have upset the ra-
tionality Of mankind, and transformed
the incoherent babbling Of some de-
mented soul into the mysterious utter
ances of a revealed spirit. 1t is further
more heightened by the notice that the
phenomena conveniently grouped as
psychic research" are attracting, and
always will attract. Hypnotism, after
an adventurous and uncertain existence
in the hands of c~harlatans, has been ad-
mitted into science; and although the
literature Of the topic, at least in France,
is increasing out Of all proportion to u
insight into the nature of the phenomeoa,
yet enough has been established to rec
ognize in this semi-morbid condition the
key 10 the solution of many otherwise
barely accessible problems. With regard
to those bordeTland phenomena-'tele-

Dlamond setting by Machinery.

ssTen years ago." said a manufactur-
ing ieweler, ..there was but one diamond
cutter in the city. When he got sick
there was nobody to cut q diamond.
Now there are plenty Of cutters, and
they use improved machinery, by the
use Of which they can cut diamonds bet
ter and more cheaply that it can be done
anywhere in the world. Our diamond
cutters can take many imported stones
and add % per cent. to their value by
improved cutting. The obvious increase
in the number of diamonds worn has
compelled the education of workmen to
meet the demand.
Another thing has been done. This
is an invention of the American manu-
f~acturer, and consists Of the application
of machinery to diamond setting. The
old time workman would have consid-
cred with horror the idea of putting any
thing but hand work on a piece of dia-
mond jewelry. Everything about it had
to be done by slow and laborious hand
work. But a shrewd workman got the
idea that a good deal of the setting of a
diamond may be done quite as well by
machinery as by hand, and a good deal
quicker and more cheaply. The fact is
that where many diamonds are set they
resolve themselves into sizes about AZ
regular as the sizes of any other CON-
modify. 1t is easy enough to prepare
settings to suit any size of diamonds that
are sold in the market.
at may seem a rifling thing TO esti-
mate the cost of a setting-or at least the
difference between a hand made setting
and a machine made setting; but the in
evitable result of competition has been to
get the cost of manufacturing even dia-
mond iewelry down to the lowest rate.
As to the value Of the diamond itself, the
experts have become able to fix that to a
nicely. New York Sun.
