DEAR TAvRRsER-Your challenge of Saturday

been spoken by a women of ''some

and the following conversation en-
sued:

Consolation for the Red naIrea.

1t may be consoling to light haired
and red headed people to read that
out of 165 patients at the Kirkbride
asylum only one has read hair,
and only four have light hair and
complexion We venture the guess,
however, that hat red headed chap
makes matters as lively as all the
other 1874 put together. H used to be
supposed that a pale complexion spe-
cially marked tendency to mental ex-
citement and brain disorder. The sta
t~istics, however, show this to be an
error. What is true of men is also
true of women; they are, with one ex-
ception in fifty, dark haired and dark
hued. 1t is sometimes the case that
the hair turns white with insanity.
Probably the error arose from this fact.
The reason why dark people are more
inclined to mental disorder has not
been explained. Medical Classics.

Mlen Dc nrus.ot wns rip.r.

Musset vas always two individuals;
n the natural man, the other the
man who got automatically intoxi-
Gated; each of the two deserving the
most ideal friendship. The former had
the chivalrous qualities of the man of
birth; the latter startled you by
strokes of genius. Some poets, like
Sainte-Beuve, stop short at the first
obstacle; Alfred de Musset snatched
the sacred fire by his passionate love
and by dint of intoxication. When
he was composing his "Nuits" he re-
quired not merely the light of twenty
four candles, a sun shining at
night, but he also needed this rise and
fall of drink excitement, which dis
closed to the eyes of his imagination
those magnificent figures that paint
with immortal hues his souls despair.
How many finely endowed intellects
possess in their hearts treasures which
they will never display to the lover
of literature because they have not the
strength to lavish them in reckless
nessl What is geuius, after all, but
an hour of dizziness on the edge of a
precipice7 To men who yearn for the
absolute everything is good which
drives them out of themselves. They
fall en%raptured into the Kief or the
Nirwana which the Persian poet thus
describes: This state of fire consumes
me, and 1 see q hundred miracles per-
formed; words clear as the crystal
spring seem to explain to me the mys-
terry of all things" Besides, what
does it matter if one attains to Kief or
Nirwana by opium or by morphia,
hasheesh or absinthe, when the i'm
agination supplies the same bright
dreams2-Arsene Houssaye in Fort

THE TROOPER.

Only a common trooper
Firm and steady OF hand.
Upon his charger sitting,
Awaiting the sharp command.
Drawn up in line and squadron
For the kings parade and show.
And the multitude that gathers
On the wide, wide plain below.
There must the squadron sally,
Near the swaying sea OF life;
Attack, retreat and rally.
AS II In battle strife,
Only n common trooper,
Unknown to any fame;
He wears the kings own colors,
But the king knows not his name.
Tho loud command Is given.
Away the troopers fly;
While laundering leDfs of horses
Raise clouds Of dust OF high
Down past the ~thronging thousands
Like whirlwind fierce and wild.
When suddenly before them
Out starts a little child.
There's a sudden cry of horror,
There are faces pale with fear.
In b awful contemplation,
OF the danger drawing near.
Straight toward the child the trooper
Oh, madly see HIM idei
In that mighty rush of horBemen
None can stop or turn aside.
But the trooper as he gallops
Bends downward TO the ground;
He grasps the child In flying
And he holds him safe and sound.
Erect he dashes onward,
No moment has he lost,
And with the child before him
Rides forward with the host
The multitude applaud him
With loud huzzas and cries;
The king looks down upon him
with proud and loving eyes.
Only a common trooper,
And | do not know his name;
But his noble deed Is written
On the scroll of deathless fame.

A successful Woman,s Club.

The Alexandra is the most exclusive
of London's women clubs. 1t is also
successful. No individual of the other
sex above the age of twelve is adj
mitted beyond the door mat. Hus-
bands, fathers and brothers are ruth
lessly excluded from within its sacred
precincts. 1t furnishes an admirable
centre for shopping operations, and
for lunches, teas, etc. 1t possesses the
advantages of bedrooms, let at the
most reasonable rate, so that girls and
young married women can spend a
night. or two in town without any
trouble as to chaperons or maids.
Women friends, of course, may be adj
mitted into the club, and servants and
trades people interviewed. 1t is
named for the Princess of Wales, and
no n who has not been presented to
the Queen,is eligible to membership

Election officers Appointments.

The New York Times of this morn
ing accepts without question the
statement of Kerns, Wankin & Co. as
to the legal bearing OF recent
legislation on the selection of election
officers for this city. Yesterday we
tried to set the public right on this
subject, and that the points may be
thoroughly understood we go owe the
facts again.
The law 1876 provided for the choice
of election officers by the people; with
a proviso that al interim vacancies
in the election boards should be filled
by the Board of Aldermen. The
Legislature of 1888 wiped out that act
with a new n v~esting the Aldermen
with the appointment of such officers,
and providing for minority representa-
ton. That part of the bill was good
enough in itself, but the beneicent
features were only made the cover for
gross attacks on the rights of voters
made in other sections of the Act; and
SO the Legislature of 1889 promptly
repealed it.
The repeater of course wiped out
the act of 1888, and restored the old
n of 1876 to operation. Under this
last named act the people might at
the last charter election have chosen
the election officers to serve at the
approaching elections. But the Gov
ernor did not sign the repeater till the
election had been held, and so the
choice by the people could not be
made. The subsequent signing OF
the repeater destroyed the power Of
the Aldermen to appoint under the
act of 1888, and made it necessary to
fall back upon the law of 1876.
As, for the reasons explained, the
election officers were not chosen at
the polls last spring, there are va
cancies in the Election Boards which,
under the revised act, the Board of
Aldermen must fili-and will fill at
the next meeting. The right of the
Board to make the appointments is
as clear as daylight.

Hot Salt Baths for Insomnia.

One of the most effective inducers to
sleep is a warm salt bath taken before
retiring. This will almost always put
q restless child to sluinber ii it is we'll,
and if it is we'll fed after its bath.
Sleeplessness in an adult is more diff
cult to contend with. A warm salt
bath may not always act as quickly,
but it is worth trying. Ii there is
any tendency to cold feet, put a warm
bottle at the feet after bathing, and in
many cases a restful sleep will follow.
1t is far better to resort to every sub
terfuge to induce sleep before resort
ing to any sleeping draught. Some
times a few crackers or something else
eaten just before retiring will induce
sleep when nothing else will. For
this purpose many people keep a
cracker jar in their rooms. The thin
wafer crackers are excellent for this
purpose. Forthe dry, burning sensa-
ton in the palms of the hands and
| soles of the feet which induces Sleep
nessless, sponge them in ammonia
and water or vinegar and water. The
continued dwelling on a certain
thought may be of value. A frequent
remedy of this kind is to imagine an
endless flock of sheep stepping one by
one over a stile. The continual mo-
notony of the imaginary movement
will soon put a wide-awake person
asleep. A famous physician put his
sleepless patients to drowsy slumber
by an arrangement by which they lis
tened to the constant dropping of
water, drop by drop, on metal. If q
person is habitually wakeful at night,
it is wise to give up tea and coffee at
night, and drink in their place a bowl
of fresh milk heated quite hot.-N. Y.

A Word to Girls.

Mrs. Frank Leslie, in an essay on
beaux, says:-"But let me implore all
my female friends to be more precise
in their classification of their male ac-
quaintances, for it is really a grief to
hear a tender, romantic, Browning
esGue adorer spoken of as the beau
Of his idol, or to have ones solid,
practical, congenial colnrade dubbed
by so trifiing q name, or to insult the
sweet illusiOnsand lofty ideals of a pair
Of lovers by calling Romeo the beau
of Juliet. Mercutio was a beau, if
you please, and died with a Jest upon
his lips, but one cannot imagine him
in Romeo's place. No, my dear girls,
don't be slip-shod in your nomencla-
ture; and although you may be sur
rounded with beaux, don't fancy them
lovers, OF ven sincere admirers, for
your true beau admires nobody very
much except himself, although a part
of his profession is to assume the part
of an admirer, not to you only but to
the other dear five hundred toward
whom he will futter in the course of
the evening. Don't tell him that you
don't believe a word he says, and
don't try to get upon solid ground
with him and find out how far he is
really sincere, for he does not know
himself, and it is bad taste and bad
policy to force any mar to a confess
sion of ignorance, even to himself.
Nor can we break butterflies on the
wheel, or build houses on soap bub-
bles, so be content to take the beau as
a beau, and value him for his real
uses and merits, which are not to be
despised .n-NeU York World.

Ballot Reform.

It suits the Republican party for
the moment to be virtuously earnest
in the cause OF ballot reform and to
scold the wicked democrats because
the Kane or Australian law did not
pass the Legislature last winter. The
Democracy it is true had a majority
in both Houses, and it is true that the
bill did not pass; but there were good
and sufficient reasons for it's defeat and
the postponement of the question for
ayear. 1t is simply another instance
of Republican mendacity when that
party claims that the measure was set
aside>on account of any general hos
tility of the Democratic party to q
secret or pure ballot.
Senator Edwards, in an interview
with a JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter
yesterday, laid the true history OF the
case before the people. The facts are
these. The Kane bill was a bill with
a good central idea, the pro-
lection of the voter and the
defeat of bulldozers and hood
lers by insuring absolute privacy
for each citizen while he prepared and
cast his ballot. But the Kane bill
was impracticable in its working ma
chinery-utterly and hopelessly SO,
and even the gentlemen who came to
advocate it showed that they could
not themselves unravel it's complex
ties.
The readiness of the Democrats to
pass a reform measure was shown by
the alacrity with which the House
adopted this bill. Its imperfections
had not then been made clear. The
Senate showed signal alacrity in the
good cause. The impossibility of
the Kane bill being manifest
the Democratic Senators promptly
prepared a substitute, a thor
oughly good bill, embodying all
the essential reform features of the
Kane bill, and eliminating its errors
and crudities. To further prove their
good faith they promptly passed this
bill, and several Republican Senators,
to their credit be it said, aided them
in doing {.
Then the bill went to the Assembly.
The Democratic majority was ready
to pass it at once, but the Republican
members, by every parliamentary
resource, postponed action upon it
until its passage was impossible.
The truth is the real hostility to
this bill and to all measures of ballot
reform in all the States III from
the Republican party. The Repub-
lican party is the II which raises
huge corruption funds, it is the party
whose great capitalists march their
men to the polls like sheep to vote
under dwictation or forfeit their daily
bread. 1t is the party which is organ
izing corruption and compulsion in
this very State at this very hour. 1t
is the party whose only hope OF
success in this very contest lies in the
peryersion of the popular will by an
impure ballot,-a ballot in which
every form of iniquity plays it's part
in favor OF the party of moral ideas
land of outrageous actions.
The Republican howl owe ballot
reform is more canting, hypocritical
and fraudulent even than the party's
liquor plank, IF indeed such a thing
be possible.
