Rich, But Silly American Girls

The American girl in search of a
title continues to exist. She is not a
myth. Disclosures, exposures, warn
ings, sensations and observations
have been in vain, and any one of
the titled atoms who infest continent
tai Europe may confidently assume
that the American maiden is his law
full prey.
One very pretty little creature set
foot upon her native soil not more
than 10 days ago, and has sedulOus-
ly avoided her friends ever since her
arrival. She left most dreadful
experience behind her. 1t was a
German baron, young and good
looking, with the ruddy complexion
and the form of q whale-bone Apollo.
1t was love at first sight. The
lady had gold galore-the baron
had debts. OF course they became
engaged. She is q sweet-tempered,
gentle-natured girl: it distressed her
to see her baron oppressed by the
load of care which his creditors con-
stantly reminded him of. So she
paid his debts.
A few days later she received a
note from him. He was disconso-
late that fate compelled him to sub
NIT to her generosity. She had
whelmed him by her thoughtful
kindness, but to be obliged to meet
again a woman whose presence
would always remind him of his I'M
Worthiness and his humiliation was
impossible. She did not see him
again, and so sic came home. In
her heart of hearts she inquiries;
What is the matter with the Anglo
SaXOn?"

A Generous Yankee Lawyer.

From the Boston Courier.
It was in the town of Stoneham
that there abode a lawyer thrifty
and keen in his pursuit of the root of
all evil. And of him it is told
that on one occasion he was en-
ployed by poor widow to collect a
debt of $23.46 which was her due.
Thelawyersucceeded with little diff
Guilty in securing the money, the per-
son who owed it being ready enough
to defraud the poor widow, but hav-
ing a wholesome fear of the law be-
fore his eyes. The lawyer sent for
- widow to tell her of his success,
and great was her joy, since solely
did she needit.
II suppose" shesaid, with hesita-
ton, after he had related his success,
chat owe you some thing for your
work"
"Well," he replied, with an air OF
the greatest magnanimity, Il ought
to charge you $25; but l know you
are poor, and you need not bother
about the other $1.53."
And the widow went home sorrow
full, but wiser than she had been be-
fore.

A MILKsop is defined by an eS

A MILKsoP is defined by an ex-
change as one who goes to school,
but learns nothing. He is given ex-
pensive tuition in dancing, music,
language. painting, fencing, rowing
and boxing; but he becomes expert
in nothing except in smoking, drink
ing, driving fairish horses and at
tending dubious nightly gatherings
OF sharper fellows with less money.
He becomes a butt forridicule among
those who wheedle his idle dollars
away in mild vice, and he readily
learns the ways of depravity. His
brain, dormant always, goes firmly
to sleep, and takes on a tixity of re-
pose which is never to lie disturbed
His instincts become dictator to his
habits, and his habits become his in
exorable master.

MEN OF THE HOUR.
GENERAL BOCLANGER.
The Idol Of Disaffected French People.


General Boulanger, lately of
France, has become n conspicuous
figure in the history of the day, and
his name continues to occupy a prom
inent place in all the leading journals
of the world. With no generally con-
coded military genius, with no grasp
Of intellect that is required in the
first ranks of European statesman
ship, and with no recognized admins
trative ability to WELD the absolute
power that he cOvets in his nation
BOulanger nevertheless became the
idol of the disaffected French people
His more recent history and move
ments are familiar to every news
paper reader. When he was elected
by prodigious majority in Paris to
the national assembly, it was regard
ed as a triumph of French disaffec-
ton with the republic. AS such it was
regarded by the government and the
conservative people as extremely
dangerous. 1t was, moreover-and
this was significant of danger-a
victory OF militarism, and of those
thoughtless people who regarded
the time as favorable for q renewal
of the war with Germany. Whether
Boulanger formally encouraged
these ideas among the people, or
not, is not certain, but it is asserted
That he did, and upon these grounds,
he has been charged with treason,
and preparations were in progress
for his trial for this crime, when he
and his followers fed from France
nnd took refuge in Belgium. The
latter nation could not retain him
and at the same time retain the
friendship of France and so he was
expelled from Belgium, and he
is now an exile in England. Boulan-
ger is ostensibly at the head OF the
Iiisafection which rallies it's forces
around him, but there is nothing
in the man or his career to suggest
great leadership. He is snowy and
the popular idol, and is cleverly
served by men of various political
parties who expect to profit by the
success of the schemes of which he is
| the fi@ure-head.

The Pope a Chess Player

New York Sun.
The Pope is a very fine chess play
er, and one priest in Rome has the
especial honor of being his adversary
over the board. This priest-Fath-
err Giella-has played chess with Leo
Pecci for thirty-two years past.
When Cardinal Pecci was raised to
the papacy, Father CECILIA, who was
in Florence, got an invitation to pro-
ceed to Rome and take up his quar-
tiers in the Vatican. CECILIA is not
tempered, but the Pope takes his
temper good-naturedly, and is said
to often improve the occasion by a
homily on virtues of resignation and
meekness.

Female Farmers.

Will the coming young woman be
a farmer?
Scattered all over the broad prairies
of the Northwest are hundreds ofself-
reliant, true blue young heroines, liv-
ing in small, ;, Isolated cabins called
shacks, proving up claims, entering
homesteads and making money.
1t is lonesome, dreary business, this
living alone ON a wild, unsettled
prairie, without a face or human form
to welcome one or cheer ones solitude,
but there seem to be a good many
young women who have the grit to
hang to this solitary lifelong enough
to prove up a claim at least.
Four young ladies in Dakota last
year put their heads together and hit
upon an ingenious plan, whereby
they could each secure claim and
yet all live comfortably together in
one house and each be upon her own
land. Instead of building four
shacks with one room each,
they constructed one shack with
four rooms, but SO nicely plan
ned that each room of the square
building was on a different quarter
section. Each had her own bed in
her own room and in that way, each
claimant at night slept upon her own
land.
Society ladies of the city will won
der, not so much how these young
lady settlers get along without social
privileges, as how they dared live so
far away from the doctors. Why,
bless you! they never thought of be-
ing sick. Doctors are not half so
much of q household necessity as
city people are in the habit of think
ing.
For all the ordinary ills of life, the
old-fashioned roots and herbs rem
edies are more effective, and much
safer in results, than modern doc
tors pills and potions. These
latter are so radical in their effects
that, while they may better meet the
modern desire for quick results,
they frequently permanently injure
the system, nature rebelling against
the unnatural methods employed.
1t is always safest tofollow natural
methods in treating disease. The
old time roots and herbs remedies,
which our good old log cabin grand
mothers knew so we'll how to pre-
pare, were the best medicines the
world ever knew, because they were
natures remedies.
The modern world needs them. In
Warmers Log Cabin Remedies, and
especially such as Warmers Log
Cabin Sarsaparilla and Warner S
Log Cabin Cough and Consumption
Remedy, the people of to-day have
an opportunity to secure the healthy
medicines which our rugged ancestors
used with such splendid results.

GENERAL LEGITlME.
At the Head Of the New Government,

The seizure of the American steam
err Haytien Republic by authority of
the government of Hayti, and the
prompt action of thu United States
in rending naval force to demand
it's restoration, has attracted agood
deal of attention to that little island,
and to its dusky president whose like
ness we present herewith,
When President Solomon, ofHayti,
had fallen from power a few months
before the revolutionary committee
appointed seven men as provisional
Government. General Thelemaque
was still at Port-au-Prince when the
Government assumed Office, with at
least five thousand of the troops
that had come with him from the
north, At that time General
Anselme Prophete held the palace,
with orders from the tenn
porary government to deliver
the keys only to whoever
might be duly elected President to
succeed Solomon. On the night of
September % n demand was made
on General Prophete for the keys of
palace, either by Thelemaque or some
of his officers, with or without his
knowledge, When the keys of the
palace were refused an attack was
Immediately made upon the building,
which met with prompt resistance.
General Thelemaque went to the
assistance OF his men and was killed.
His remains were accorded splendid
funeral. The election Of a new Presi-
dent devolved upon q convention to

to a representative. Nine towns

ASPHALT PAYMENTS.
They Are as Good for Heavy Hauling as the

Manufacturer.


In advocating the adoption of the as
phaltum pavement for the streets of Phila-
delphia some of the newspapers always
make an exception in the case of the thor
oughfares on which the traffic is heavy.
But it would appear that these are just the
streets for which the smOOthest pavements
are to be desired. The main purpose of
such q pavement is to reduce resistance,
and the kind of wagon burden for which
least resistance may be especially sought Is
heavy burden. The notion that an as
phaltum pavement will suffer from heavy
loads more than any other kind of pave
ment Is probably erroneous. Any surface
covering to be subjected to severe usage
requires good foundation, an and asphalt
Um pavement laid upon such a foundation
will be likely to last as long and to cost as
little for repairs as any-Other.
The fear that horses will slipupOn asphalt
more than upon "a rough surface is not war
ranted by the experience of other cities. A
horse engaged in hauling heavy load over
a stone block pavement must Use more eX-
ertiOn than when the surface is smooth,
and the greater effort increases the chances
of slipping. Moreover, a horse, like man,
adjusts himself to familiar conditions. A
horse used to cObblestOnes will slip when
horses in Washington do not slip Oftener on
on the cObbles. The smOOthest pavement
is always the best pavement. dura bility be-
ing assured. We express the opinion that
the saving to horses and vehicles If Phila-
delphia should be wholly repaved with as
phaltum would amount to far more annual
~ than the interest upon the outlay for the
