And yet she thinks there are some things
In politics that she can reform. She
thinks she can make the men believe she
can do some things far better than they
can. And still it Is q lamentable fact. pat
ent to all men, that when there are three
women on q sleeping-car, and only two
dressing rooms for ladies, those women
have to rise at o'clock in order to per-
nit two of them TO dress in time for the
O'Clock breakfast. There are some things
that woman-God bless her-can't reform,
and some things that she can; some that
she tries 20 and some that she just won't.
Now If she will only straighten out the
problems and possibilities she can work
wonders. AND if she keeps them snarled
up, why she can work wonders, also.
But the wonder will be why she works.

The Paradise of Preachers.
Richmond Dispatch.

Probably DR., Morgan Dix staL DIS as the
best type of the fashionable and success
full preacher in the metropolis today. The
rector of Trinity receives nominal sal
arg of $4,000, but his actual income
from his passionate is limited only by
his necessities. He gets all and every
thing he wants. From the time when old
Trinity was organized in 1897, until now,
it has never ceased to be the f{6hiOn in
New York. At the outset it almost broke
the hearts of the dominies of the old
Dutch Reform church by drawing away
the yoang Dutchmen, who were fascinat-
ed by its beautiful service, by the fact
that 1t was in English, you know" thus
furnishing the earliest instance of Anglo
mania on record. The little fan-shaped
farm which the church got from the
colony has developed into the richest
part of New York, and Trinity's vast
possessions between the Battery and
Fourteenth street are now estimated as
being worth $140OOO,OO0. Its great bust
ness piles and grimy tenements, dingy
warehouses and aristOcratic dwellings
now bring it in revenue big enough to
run smaIl-sized kingdom. It's rector
is allowed a handsome residence free,
has life position, and is the pet of the
nabobs of Gotham and the idol of its
fashionable women. What with valuable
gifts and frequent trips to Europe his
lines are certainly cast in pleasant places.
As the better anc more influential part
of this flock are away in the summer he
can shut up old Trinity if he chooses and
let the devil take holiday, or he can
hand over his theological cudgel to a
deputy ad interim. His assistants re-
ceive $4,000 year each, and many pres
snts, thus making Trinity the very para
disc of preachers.

OATMEAL AS FOOD.
What Physician Has to Say About the Pop
ular Cereal.
Philadelphia Times

Philadelphia Times
Oatmeal has recently received some ad-
verse criticisms. This is not surprising,
as no food article is just the thing in
every case or at all times. Our daily ex-
periences convince us of such truth by
likes and dislikes for very common and
the most wholesome foods. It is natural
end best to have some variation of diet.
One thing may be just adapted to the
state of the individual = bodily and
mentally-at one time and not at the
other, while with another person it may
never agree. Without entering into
lengthy, uninteresting details, chemistry.
physiology and experience all prove oat-
meal one of the most valuable cereal
foods for producing good muscles and
clear heads. Why, then, is it frequently
found to disagreed 1t is easily answered.
By being used almost exclusively as mush
it is swallowed so easily that it is not
properly mixed with the saliva-the first
step for digestion. When there is little
or no saliva, as in some diseases, there is
also very weak or no digestion.
If any soft food, mush or toast, ETC., is
swallowed too rapidly, Or any food is
washed down with tea, coffee, milk, wine
or water, some degree of indigestion is
thereby produced sooner or later, as often
shown by sense of fuliness, discomfort,
belching and other disturbances. II there
is a lack of saliva, or that of proper
quality, it is often best to eat some hard
kind of bread, or the thin, hard Scotch
oatmeal bread, bread orusts, rHsks, ETC.,
when the teeth admit of it, and very
slowly, to thus naturally increase the
amount and quality of saliva. Such a
course is often a better and a safer COR
rective than all the drugs in the country.
GOOD health can usually be secured by
correct living. The best physicians are
those who recognize this fact and try to
teach it to sach patients as are wise
enough to employ them.

A Parrot Story.
Buffalo Express.

A bird story was told by lecturer in
this city the other evening that ri yals the
best fish story on record. This was the
way il ran: A certain man went cunning
for parrots. He stole on a flock, picked
out bird at close range, raised his gun,
and was just about to fire; when the bird
saw him and called out: "Won't grand
mother give it to you when you get
homei" The man was struck all in
heap with establishment, dropped his gun,
and vowed he never would go parrot
shooting again.

She could never be happy out of
France, and the gates of Paradise were
relentlessly closed to her. Napoleon, in
deed told his brother Joseph that if she
wouls only be content to live qnietly and
say nothing he had no objections to her
coming back, but silence and self-efface-
meut were too high price to pay. ''What
Is 1t she wishes?" the Emperor had asked
Joseph. "My God" she exclaimed when
that conversation was repeated to her, sit
is not a question of what I wish, but of
what l think" Even on her travels the
imperial enmity pursued her. At Vienna,
where she had found a warm welcome on
a former visit, q communication from the
French autocrat brought her notice to
quit and an escort Of gems d'armerie to
the Russian frontier. As a rule, however,
she might have found consolation in the
distinguished reception that awaited her
elsewhere Russians, Sweoes, Germans,
Italians, and English Wed with each other
In paying her exceptional honors. Her
fame went before her and her reputation
rose, as she dazzled the world with her
brilliant versatility and the successive
trlumphs of her literary genius. In her
house of Juniper Hall, in the picturesque
MickIeham Valley, in England, were held
the reunions of the most distinguished
French emigres. In Germany, when
gathering materials for the most famous
of her works, she was in familiar inter-
course with Shiller and Goethe and all
minor lights of period that was as intel
lectually brilliant as it was politically
dark. The romance she wrote after her
travels in Italy astonished her warmest
admirers and most intimate friends by
the unexpected delicaoy of Its subtle ar
tistic perceptions. She lived to!return to
Paris with the Bourbons, when she
favored the Government with political
programme which might have deferred or
averted the next revolution had they fol-
lowed it. And perhaps there is 40 strong
er proof of her political importance"
that the fact that, among the crowd of
eager claimants and the overwhelming
multitude of we'll founded claims, the
Ministers of the Restoration found means
to repay her large sums of which Neeker
had been robbed by the republic.
