American Girls.

That the Prince of Wales does
admire American girls is no secret.
But he is an admirer of everything
else American as we'll as American
girls. This admiration is sincere and
LASTING. 1t is not the mere fleeting
fancy of the moment. It is, 1 know
popular, and thought eminently
smart to say hard things about his
Royal Highness. 1t has become the
fashion to paint as q self-indulgent,
selfish sensualist. 1t pleases the
people who are out of the swim and
sells the papers which descend to the
publication of royal scandal. But
this view of the Princes character is
not taken by those who know him.
BY them he is known to be refined
and cultured gentleman in every
sense of the word, a man of expert
ence and observation, who has
Travelled much, and has noted what
he has seen not only as q prince but
as mar. He has a keen sense of
hucor, is witty and clever, a goosf
lingllist and man of matured tastes
and ripe judgement.
1t is not the mere homage of the
eye that he bestows upon American
girls, but the admiration of his in
tellect. He recognizes not only
their beauty but their intel
lectual qualities. 1t is a fact
admitted now by every one
pretty generally that American girls
are more brilliant in conversation,
quicker at repartee, richer in Ian
guage and power of expression,
keener in perception and more point
ed and less labored in speech. In
short, beside them English girls seem
sluggish and dull. No men on earth
are quicker to see this difference and
to give their unqualified appreciation
than Englishman. 1t is perhaps,
hard upon the English girls. Their
strict and straight-laccd bringing up
and formal training ever under their
mothers watchful eye has doubtless
had much to do in curbing and stun
ming their natural proportions and
in checking the expansion of mental
gifts, which, if given free scope,
would have been inferior to none. If
so they are confronted by the I'M
pleasant realization that they have
wasted their time if such a course of
training was intended and expected
to attract husbands,
In these days men-and marrying
men teo-Nill go where they are
amused, where they are entertained,
where they are enlivened, where they
are cheered and made happy. To
that end they will seek the society OF
amusing, entertaining, enlivening,
CHEEKY and happy girls-and such
girls are American girls.-The New

Travels Of A Y0ungster.

Eenry M. Strohm, son of Mr.. and
Mrs Abraham Strohm of New Paris,
this county, left home on March 2,
1887, to see the world. He did not
run away, but left with the reluctant
~ given consent of his parents. He
was only about 1G years of age.
Going west, he stopped for some
time at several points in one or two
OF the western states, and then pro-
cceded to Portland, Oregon, which
is 2, 400 miles from here.
From there, says the Goshen Times.
he went to San Francisco, a distance
of 600 miles, where he shipped in a
whaler with a view of going to the
Artic ocean. I'll treatment on board
the vessel, however. induced him to
obandcn the whaler, and he landed
on Gaun, one of the South Sea is
lands, distance 5000 miles from San
Francisco. Here he was captured
several times by the natives, but
every time made his escape to the
settlements.
After being detained on this island
for about six months he found an
opportunity to go to.Maniil, one OF
the Philippine islands, distance OF
LOO miles where he was kindly re-
ceived by United States Consul A. X.
Webb. Through the Hon. b. +.
Shively, NJ. G., Secretary of State
Bayard interested himself in the
young man and wrote to Consul
Webb to extend to him all the assist
ance he might need. Mr.. Webb wrote
that Mr.. Strohm looks healthy and
robust. and appears in every way
qualified to take care of himself in
any part of the world.
From Manila he went to Hong
Kong, in China, a distance OF 900
miles. He was there called upon by
the United States consul resident in
that city, and asked by the Official it
he wanted any help, but declined as
sistance, and said that he was quite
able to help himself.
From Hong Kong he proceeded to
Sydney, Australia, Il distance of5, 600
miles. and finally shipped as a sailor
at $40 month from that city foa
London, on Oct. IS, 1888, in tho
Star OF Italy. The distance from
Sydney to London is L., 00Omiles, and
the vessel is due at the latter city on
the 18th ofFebruary. He is expect.
ed to sail thence for New York and
then come home. another little trip
of 4, 900 miles. When he arrives al
New Paris he will have made tho
circle of the globe.

Ehings Worth Remembering.

Tothose who are called upon to
nurse the sick through n long and
severe illness, it is of the utmost i'm
portance, not only to themselves,
but also to their patients, that their
own health should be preserved and
their own strength maintained.
And this not only through the
critical stage, but also during the
period of convalescence.
The following simple precautions
will aid in preserving health and
strength while nursing the sick: If
the disease of the patient be such as
to cause any marked odor of the
breath, or exhalations from the
skin, take care always to sit on that
side ofthe bed or sick person which is
opposite to or away from the direc-
tion which the efIluvia will take to-
ward the window or whatever other
drafts the room may afford. Sit so
their breath is carried away from
you. Do not sit too close to them
nor take their breath ifyou can avoid
it. To keep ones strength in a case
of prolonged care and anxiety, and
particularly so if obliged to sit up
nights, great benefit will be derived
from taking warm bath early in
the morning and putting on fresh un-
dergarments every other evening; or
if the malady be very infections I'M it's
nature, it is best to change the cloth
ingevery morning. 1t will be found
that the warm bath. followed by a
brisk rubbing of the whole body
with a very coarse towel or flesh
brush, will refresh the tired person
almost as much as sleep.
1t is well to keep up the appetite
with small doses of quinine-two to
five grains-twice day, and eat
nourishing food, with a little wine oc-
casionally. This is q way in which q
lady who makes nursing her business,
keeps herself well and strong. give
the directions as she gave them to
me, hoping they may possibly bene-
fit some one, as may also the follow
ing incident, which was related to
me by our family physician. Being
called upon to visit sick child, he
found the babe in apparently good
health, but crying and struggling
continually as though suffering ex-
treme pain and anguish. The moth
er stated that the child was DESTROYS
of nursing continually, and in order
to quiet it, she had been obliged to
let it nurse as often as the crying
paroxysms came on. When that
failed to quiet it, paregoric or sooth-
ing syrup had been administered.
"When did you give the babe a
drink of water last?' inquired the
physician.
81 don't remember" replied the
mother, II seldom let him drink any
water. Does he need it?"
"Need it?'' exclaimed the doctor.
"Why should he not need it as much
as you? The child is suffering from
thirst, nothing more.'
He accordingly called for cold wa
ter, gave the infant a few tablespoon
fuls, and it Immediately ceased cry
ing and fretting and soon went peace
fully to sleep, enjoying a long, re-
freshing slumber, the first for many
hours. Mothers and nurses should
remember this Infants who nurse
may often suffer torment for the lack
of a drink Of water. Often a child
cries from nothing but thirst; there
fore use common sense. and instead, ot
dosing it with poisonous compounds
give the little sufferer ali the water
he wants.-Portland Transcript.

John Grant struck q match, and
lit the chandelier. There stood his
ward, equipped for travel, Hurried in
her manner, her face expressing vex-
alton and chagrin.
"This is q strange proceeding"
John Grant said, fixedly regarding
her. Goodness, you were not going
to run away with Mr.. Delisle?"
"No," she simply, a swift pallor
crossing her face.
"Nor can you possibly be running
from him?"
"No," she said, with an appealing
gesture, one hand pressed against
her heart. II am running away from
myself. / am running away from you,
John Grant. That is the truth,
however much it humiliates me to
say it.
She shrank closer to the wall. Her
lips were tightly drawn. Her hands
were clenched in a spasm. There
was q movement in her throat like
the struggle of imprisoned words.
A CLEAN of intense yearning shone in
her eyes, and then the lids fell modest
ly over them.
John Grant was dazed. Herubbed
his temples, as if to aid himself to
think with clearnesS. The light that
broke across his face was like the
play of light upon q dusky cloud.
He took her hand and led her to one
of the easy chairs in the hall.

stood over her, his gaunt frame trem-
bling, ''do your words admit Of more
than one interpretation?'
''For reply she buried her face in
her hands and burst into tears.

He could not tell whether she was

TWENTY BOLD MARINERS.

Twenty bold mariners went to the wave,
Twenty sweet breezcs blew over the main,
All was so hearty, so free and brave,
But they never came back again.
Half the wild ocean rose up to the clouds,
Halt the broad sky scowled inthunder and
rain,
Twenty white crests rose around them ike
shrouds,
And they all staid in the dancing main.
This is easy to sing and often to mourn,
And the breaking Of dawn is no newer to-
day;
But those who die young or are left forlorn,
This grief is no older than they.
