It's WOnan,s May

FROM the New York Mail and Express
Three women tripped more or less lightly
onto Broadway car going up town yesterday.
As they sank into their seats two of the women
struggled desperately to open their pocket
books, and when neither succeeded in getting
her purse open, each grasped the others arm
and exclaimed:
Don't dear, I'll pay"
The small woman between them saws moth
ing, and the cross-eyed conductor awaits further
developments before going in to collect fares.
The comedy goes on.
1--WE got the change right here" says the
woman on the right
80 have l, says the woman on the left
The small woman between the contestants
still says nothing, and at this juncture the
cross-eyed conductor approaches to discharge
his more or less disagreeable duty
Don't You dare to pay the fares" saws the
woman on the right, clutching at the woman
on the left.
And don't you," responds the woman on the
left, grasping the woman on the right
The woman between them still saws nothing
but. as the conductor anchors before the trio
pays the fares-and still says nothing. while
the woman on the right and the woman on the
left express much Indignation.
Trims the way wild thin wimmin." says the
conductor as he takes up his position on the
back platform

SOME PHILANTHROPIC WAYS.
Charity Which Carries Gall to the Tn
fortunate Recipient.
from the Boston SATURDAY Evening Ciazst.e

From the Boston Saturday Evening Gazette
1t may not be practical or "horse sense" but
who with any spark of proud independence in
their own hearts can blame the poor diseased
woman with a starving family if she says, I'VE
will all starve together before will take aims
from these women, who will shout our names
all over their church. and seek out my rich
relatives, whose scorn and charity would be
only another burden added to those l already
bear?' Or the broken-down but hopeful young
laborer who Says, Il will get along somehow
without the nourishment need. and my tired
young wife will be willing to work a little
harder rather than take from these people,
whose ELUSIVE patronage would be gall and
wormwood In our cup of happiness by and
by?" Or. the yearning, ambitious young
scholar, who cries out, Il will die know
nothing. l will go home and scrub the kitchen
floor again before l will become indebted to
these girls. whose violent efforts to step down
to an equal footing with me trip me up and in
suit me at every step" This is all true. Mrs.
Royal Worchester calls out i'll a patronizing
manner to poor, timid, erring Mrs. Crockery,
who has put her pride in her pocket partially

her noble benefactors not to make her hide II

There is Mrs. Haviland over there who is so kind.
She's going to give you three pairs of new
stockings for yourself and Mrs. Canton
Medallion will pay your rent for three months.
Isn't it good for you?" All this in a loud tone
that sounds all over the yestry, full of well-fed
women. and sinks like knife into poor little
Mrs. Crockery's stiffening heart. If the poor
young mechanic asks for little lift-just a
little loan, only to pull him through-he knows
only too well that his name will be handed
about as freely as a political nominees, and
his family seized upon and visited to an extent
which will drive him to despair and his neigh
bors to twitting him of being helped by the

contribute anything to the club. You know
they can't afford it, and we must be very care
full not to let them know we feel any better

And thus she and her mother, and thousand
others like them, move on in their placid
philosophy, careless of the self-respect they
are crushing, and unconscious of the worthy
poor they are driving away from them by the
presumptuous patronizing which seems 10 be
one of the chief characteristics of fashionable

Philosophy of a Cold.

From the Youths Companion.
Says Prof. Woodbury.. of the Medco- Chi
rurgical college of Philadelphia. If there is
anything calculated to take all the brightness
out of the sunshine, all the SAVIOR out of our
food and all the sweetness out of our life, il
is a cold in the head" He presents some
thoughts Ill its philosophy, the substance of
which may interest the mighty host of suf-
ferers.
In every case there are two factors an irri-
tant and susceptibility of the system. Among
the lrrltants are microscopic germs taken in
from without, as in influenza, and certain poi
sons which are developed from bad nutrition
imperfect assimilation within the body, and
which it is the office of the liver to DESTROY
Indeed, the effects of the two causes are essen
italy the same, for the germs act by general
ing certain violent poisons, which irritate the
mucous membrane of the nostris, pharynx
lungs, stomach or bowels
As to Susceptibility to colds, healthy body,
under ordinary circumstances, has very little
of 1t. But sudden climatic changes may induce
it. Horses brought from the west often have a
discharge from the nostrils which lasts about
six months. A ships crew who had been
perfectly healthy while absent several
months on the Alaska coast, were ALL on their
return. taken down with cold in the head.
Of an audience going out into bleak atmos-
phere from a close, warm room. a certain por-
ton will take cold. These have the requisite
susceptibility; the rest happily free from it.
In all cases of this special susceptibility there
is lowering of the nutrition "a certain de-
PRAYED or depressed condition. The luxurious
and indolent are as liable to it as the poor.
and those whose surroundings are bad.
A normal condition of the skin is the chief
protection against cold. Three fourths of
the sufferers from catarrh. pneumonia or
chronic bronchitis are found to be in the habit
of neglecting the skin. Their skin has become
degraded and is no longer protective cover
ing for the body. The skin needs to be
hardened by the use of the flesh brush. the
cold douche, the air bath, and by frequent
change of underclothing. Active exercise
needs to be added, to keep the tissues from
clogging. The time to cure the patient is be-
fore he gets the cold

Thieves Getting Clumsy.

DETECTIVE SAYS THEY ARE NOT so CLEVER AS
THEY ONCE WERE.
do you know New York thieves are not any,
thing like SO clever as they used to be?'
The speaker was one of Inspector Byrnes'
veterans. and there actually touch of
sadness in his voice as he spoke, as though the
decline of clever rascality was really a bad
thing for the public generally. The Mail and
Express reporter asked the detective the cause
for this change which seemed to affect him So
'Well. that's more than can tell" was the
reply. 1T may be because 80 many of the
leading thieves are in Jail. or have been scared
out OF New York by the police, and that their
places have been taken by new hands. 1t is
not because there are no thieves. for there are
just as many as ever. As soon as one is Jailed
or frightened off another hobs up and takes
his place. But. be ii as It may the whole gang
are precious lot of bunglers
There isn't the talent around now to get M
another Manhattan Bank affair. Even the
bunco and badger game men are losing their
grip. Take the attempt to rob Phil DAILY, the
gambler. That affair was BIZ tch. So was the
attempted diamond robbery. As for the at
tempt TO 'bunco W. ID. Morrissey, the western
miner and hOrseman, it was clumsy enough to
cause some of the old-time 'bunCo' men t.
weep. And so the thing goes. 1t may be that
the crooks are down on their luck for Hun
CRY joe who used TO be the clever est of the
buncO men, has made more bad breaks lately
than greenhoTn. and is locked up in Balti-
more as result. The only clever stealing that
has been done of late" the detective went on
to say, has been done by men who were not in
the regular order of thieves and who struck
ont on new line for themselves. These were
such men Foster and Bedell. the LAWYERS.
But the Old line of thieves, as have said. seem
to be losing their grip. and if they keep on
there won't be any credit in getting the best of
them or in hunting them"
And with this the veteran, who has made
some very clever captures in his day, turned
