Sovereign Cure for Freckles.

ALWAYS have a feeling of pity for girls
who lhaye forid or sallow compilations, or
whose faces are bespattered with freckIes,
looking as if they had been about when a
bran bin had exploded. feel sorry for
them, not because of any harm that the
freckles do, for really think them nice, as
they are evidence of pure, light and healthy
complexion, but because the removal of them
or the sallowness is so easy if they only knew
how.

Unhappiness Among the Married.

The Edinburgh Review takes view quite
contrary to Walter Besant 1t says that,
however we may try to conceal it, there is a
vast amount of unhappiness among married
people of all classes. The fault is not with
the men nor with the women, but it is in
volved in our social system. 1t obliges her
to sell herself to q man-that is, secure hus-
band before her salable commodities, youth
and beauty, are gone from her. As there are
more women than men the woman has prac-
tically no choice, and some women no chance.
even to sell themselves. The remedy, it is
suggested, lies in giving the woman work and
money-in other words, equality of position.
Probably the instincts of the sexes are by no
means so easily disposed of as this writer

Two Sizes of Enyelopes.

Always keep two sizes of letter envelopes
on your desk, one small enough to slip easily
into the other An editor always prefers
your self-directed and stamped envelope to
stamps put in loose or stuck to your letter or
manuscript A regard shown for his COM
fort will conduce to regard for your manu-
script. Have your manuscript weighed be-
fore closing the envelope, and put in an
envelope with the stamps affixed which are
requisite for its return.
If your manuscript is valuable and cannot
easily be reproduced, register it when you
mail it. Ten cents worth of registry fee is
better than ten dollars worth of trouble in
making a second copy Of a manuscript which
went astray in the mails, nine times out Of
ten through your own carelessneSs.
Keep a record of your manuscripts, and,
better yet, of all your business letters, noting
always the exact date on which each was
dispatched. Horace London In The Writer.

A DULL DAY FOR THE COURTS.

Continuation of the Trial Of John Wagner for
Shooting frankie Howe
The trial of John Wagner for shooting frankie
Howe progressed very slowly yesterday, and it
will not be concluded before tomorrow noon.
Nearly the entire day was occupied in hearing
evidence for the defense. Quite a number of
dispositions Of persons at Frankfort, KY, who
knew Wagner while he was o resident there
were read They related to his habits while
there, and set forth that he frequently acted like
person of unsound mind. It was set forth that
just previous to his departure for indianapolis,
month before the shooting he jumped into
the river. while temp orarily insane, and came
near drowning before he was rescued. Some
additional expert medical testimony of an un-
important character was submitted. and then q
large number of character Witnesses We're intro
duced- They all testified that Wagner had been
known to them as peaceable, quiet man who
would not have committed crime while in his
right mind. There was some surprise when the
defendants attorneys closed their case with the
character testimony and did not put the defendant
on tho witness-stand. Not o great deal of re-
buttal testimony was submitted by the State.
Superintendent Travis and Sergeant Taffs tes-
tilted that Wagner did not appear to them to DO
insane when they took him to the station house
after the shooting. Mrs. Howe recalled
and testified that she had never said to any one
that she believed Wagner was insane when Ee shot
her. She thought ne was sane The evidence
closed at o'clock and Assistant Prosecuting At
torney Hoffman opened the argument for the
State in an hours speech.
