The Best Time for a Woman to
Marry.

Probably the best time for the average
civilized woman to marry, says the Hospt-
tai, would be any age between "a and 36.
1t is not said that no woman should marry
earlier or later than either Of these ages,
but youth and health and vigor are ordi-
narily at their highest perfection between
these two periods. Early marriages are
seldom desirable for girls, and that for
many reasons. The brain is immature, the
reason is feeble and the character IS un-
formed. The consideration which would
prompt girl to marry at IL would, IN
many cases, have little weight with her at
"a. At II she is a child. a. "a woman.
Where girl has intelligent parents the
seven years between II and "a are the
period where mind and body are most
amenable to wise discipline and best repay
the thought and toll devoted to their de-
yelopment.

Morning Greeting.

Our little Belle was up betimes,
Just after peep o'day;
The morning glories greeted her
From tender vine and spray.
God made their smiling faces all,
And this she knew full well;
In them she thou. ht she heard voices
Good morning, little Belief"
Her baby heart was filled with love,
And, with graceful nod
Seeing her maker in the flowers
She said Good morning, God!

Song of Kansas.

My Kansas, tits of thee.
Sweet land of hominy,
OF thee | sing.
Land of the classic Kaw,
Fair land without a flaw.
From Leavenworth to Wichita
Thy praises ring.
In all thy vast extent,
No child by parent sent
Can whi-ky get.
Topers are mad as hops,
Closed are the liquor shops,
But when 1t comes to crops,
Kansas goes wet.
In all the growing west,
Kansas is first and best
At raising stuff.
Great crops of com and shoats,
Great crops of wheat and oats,
And eighty thousand votes
More than enough.
Corn's grown most out of sight
We thought 1t grew one night
Almost a foot.
We woIk ked and helped 1t grow,
So we've right to crow;
The boys at home, you know,
Have it to cut.
So let US sing again,
Shouting the glad refrain,
Queen Kansas reigns;
Reigns DER the prairies wide,
Which smile on every side;
Kansas, Columbia's pride,
Queen of the plains.

Autumn COurtShIp.


In meads where lambkins used to sport
No sportive lambs we see;
The nights are long, the days are short,
And so, alas! are we
At morn the rooster later crows,
Paid offs the yachting crew,
Again the nor nor easter blows,
The politician, too.
Against the pane the raindrops beat,
The hunter beats the wool;
In cozy parlors lovers meet,
And it is meet they should.
And close together there they sit,
situation grand,
And while her heart goes pit
A pat he pats her hand.
He smoothes her silken locks and locks
Her to his bosom there.
And as she has the rocks he rocks
Her in the rocking chair.
He is a youth of good address,
For he is dressed to WOO,
Ard as he's there his suit TO press,
Her suit he presses, too.
To press his suit he Is not slow,
As fast The moments fly:
But when he turns the lamp down low
Her color rises high.
To kiss her lips, those rosebuds rare,
Rare bliss, he thinks, would be,
And he would freely kiss her were
She with her kisses free,
But in the gloom, from eight to ten,
From eight to ten takes he;
They see as well to court as when
They courted by the sea.
Oh witching hours; oh ! honeyed love;
Who cares that summers flown,
When one beside the parlor stove
Can sit and hold ones own?

Always Voted for "Sunset.'

There is good story relating to the late
Samuel Sullivan Cox, which will perhaps
bear repeating at this time. One day, years
ago, just after an election which had gone
against him, he was seated in his study,
when piece of paste board embellished by
q rudely written name was handed In.
Notwithstanding the forbidding aspect of
the card, its gaunt and uncouth slx-toot
bearer was admitted, and. without prelimi-
nary formality, lifted up heavy voice to
this effect:
Your name Is Cox Z"
81 have the honor"
IS. S. Cox?"
"The same"
Sometimes called Sunset Cox ?"
"That is sobriquet by which l am
known among my more familiar friends"
/"You formerly resided in Columbus,
Ohio? 2"
THAT happiness was once mine"
Represented that district in Congress %
81 enjoyed that distinguished honor, and
may add at somewhat early age"
After while they gerrymandered the
district so as to make it rather warm for an
aspiring Democrat ?"
"You have evidently read the history of
your country to good purpose, My friend"
Then you moved to New York, where
you stood better show ?"
"Well. my friend, your premise is cor
rect. l did move to New York. But your
conclusion is hardly admissible in the form
of a necessary sequence. My reasons for
moving to New York were not wholly po-
litical."
"We won't discuss that After unsuc'
cessfully trying the State at large you
availed yourself of the opportunity afforded
by the death of the Hon. James Brooks to
move into his district ?"
81 moved into the district formerly rep
resented by the honorable gentleman you
name, but again l must dissent from your
conclusions"
"Let that pass. You were elected to
Congress from Mr.. Brooks former dis
trict?"
81 was. But let me remark my friend,
| that at this moment my time is very much
occupied. Your resume of my biography,
faulty as some of your deductions are in
point of logic, is deeply interesting to me,
and at a time of greater freedom from
pressing engagements would be glad to
canvass the subject with you at length.
But Just now being unusually busy, even
for me, 1 must request you to state the
precise object of your visit, and let me add
that shall be glad to serve you"
81 have no favor to ask. am an ad-
mirer of yours. l always vote for you, and

morning merely to inquire if you had se-

Trial.

BY trial is proven
What metal we are;
Our strength or our weakness
Affliction lays bs re;
The grace and the beauty
Dee sorrows unfold
AS fires of the furnace
Bring out the pure golo.
'Tis not in unkindness
Our Father of love
Lets us, His dear children,
LIES bitterness prove;
'Tis only to make us
More holy and pure,
And happy are they who
Temptations endure.
The brightest of sunsets,
When evening draws nigh,
Is mark ed by the presence
OF clouds in the sky;
And go shall our trials
Adorn the bright scene
When dying we triumph
In glory serene.

Wisdom from the Prairie.
Atnhisou Globe,

Homely people make the best friends.
The more wealth man has the louder
his children talk.
A loafer has no right that busy man is
bound to respect.
No girl likes to be seen carrying a corset
box on the street.
When man sees q door marked "pri-
vate" he wants to open it.
You can't realize how few dollars there
are in SIS bill until you break it.
When you see some children you at once
begin to doubt the good sense of their

TO KEEP THE BABIES COOL.
Some Novel Suggestions az the ne.

From the Boston Herald.

The connection between heat and what
is known as summer complaint was
recently discussed at meeting OF the
Illinois State Medical Society. The tact
was emphasized that continuous high
temperature, acting upon the very deli
cate nervous system OF children, seriously
affects the digestive functions. ana 50 IN
vites diarrhpal disorders. Accepting
this theory, cold, Of course, suggested
itself as a remedy. 1--WE should not
wait for the little ones during warm
weather to become sick, but begin the
use of tepid bathing, cool or cold water
Use it freely, and let it be OF temper2-
ture shifted to each individual ease. II
these suggestions were acted upon, and q
more liberal use OF the remedies at hand
employed. the lives OF many children
would be saved"
One physician present at the meeting
in question said that in his practice he
teaches families to keep the babies cool,
and they do it in this way: Just as
soon as they begin to feel the effects OF
heat, faces red and heads tossing about,
crying, ETC., instead of giving them extra
food of some kind, part of their clothing
is removed; if it is excessively hot they
take off more The children are then
wiped down with tepid water and al
lowed to lie on the floor naked, if sutfi

all day. Toward evening, when the
weather becomes cooler, their clothing Is

any trouble during the summer. He Is
