Woman. Polit.ness to Woman.

Says correspondent: II was glad to see,
the other day, suggestion that under GER
tain circumstances it may be the duty Of
woman 10 yiSld her seat in a street car or a
stage, especially to one Of her own sex whose
need OF q seal is greater. That not moro than
one woman out Of hundred ever recognizes
:sais duty is fact too evident to need proof
But to nay point, which il this: Many mar
cied women, when in a car or stage with their
husbands, most Strenuously object 70 their
husbands yielding thor seats to a lady who
may be standing Ths ostsnsibls ground Of
the objection IL the plea that a husband in
such case should sit by and entertain his
wife But l have generally noticed that
these same women always denouncs as no
gentleman othsr wives husbands who, IN
der similar circumstances, do not Offer them
a SCAT. 1t Is such mysterious puzsles as this
in the gentle Sex that have kept ma lonely

Royalty In Mourning.

The dress worn by the Empress Frederick,
which is the dress of a German widow, is very
picturesque, though simple and severe The
gown, which Is a long plain one, and covered
entirely by Grape, ID only relieved by two
long bands Of white lawn, which go down
from the neck Of the gown in front to the
feet. The widows cap is black, and worn in
a stiff point, which comes down low on the
forehead, and to which is fastened long
black veil, falling almost to the feet behind.
The three princsSseS wear the same deep veil
and cap, without the white bands, which are
the distinctive widows dress. Since tho ar
rival Of the Empress Frederick at Windsor
the mourning worn by the royal family and
household is in accordance with German Gus
toms, and where white Grape caps have been
worn hitherto by some Of the ladies' black caps
are now the fashion, the only person adher-
ing to the English white cap being the queen.

DR.. Prentice, walking tee streets and reading
the newspapers Give DR.. Prentice any
ground to work on and he perfects cure. In
all diseases of the head, throat and chest he
appears to be equally successful. His brother
physicians are forced to admit that man of
his cures are almost miraculous. His success
lies in the fact that 10 las had great deal OF
experience in n european hospitals, uses the
finest surg.ca instruments now used, and
avails himself of all the latest Improvements
recorded in the eadingmCdcal and surgical
journals of the day. Should he ever visit

Another thing that should be avoided In all
kinds of weather is the practice OF holding
the baby too much Not only does the baby
form the bad habit of wanting to be held all
the time, but the constant contact with bod
les of other people is not good for it The
subtle force called magnetism, vital current,
ETC., cannot be explained, but does exist, and
the stronger will take it away from the
weaker. Wash and dress and feed the baby
and put it upon soft pallet on the floor and
let it roll and kick and rest and grow fat and
healthy and strong. When your friends
come in tell them hands of" Do not per
init either kissing or fondling. The baby
does not relish indiscriminate kissing and
hugging any better than we DO. Insist upon
the baby having regular hours FOR sleeping,
and as much as possible have it go to sleep
without rocking.
The hardest work in the world is taking
care of baby. There is no exception to this
assertion. Only those who have experienced
it can understand the long, weary days, the
wakeful nights, the drain upon the physical,
the nervous and mental strength, tho tai
upon ones patience and amiability and cheer
fulnesS. Only mothers can know and ap-
preciate the labor of mothers. With kind

When any Of these is wanting, by 80 much is
the mothers task increased Where one
mother neglects or abuses her children there
are hundreds who, through their devotion
and zeal, do more for their welfare than is
really necessary. In the rearing Of children,
as in every calling, we need above al else the
Saving grace of common sense" Who shall
say where the line must be drawn between

Special to the Gazette.
DUBLIN, TEX, Aug. 3O.-In answer
to call by our railroad committee to
take some action towards securing the
building of the Texas Mineral road to this
point, very interesting meeting was
held last night. 1t was unanimously
decided that we want the road and must
nave 1t. We were very well contented
Tor awhile with one road, but as we re-
Gently secured the Fort Worth and Rio
Grande, and now this new road comes
knocking at our door we are going to let
them all come that want to. Our citi-
Zens have voted TO pay the expenses
necessary to run q survey from where
the surveyors stopped, and are de-
termined to find practicable route into
town. The general belief is, aud was so
expressed last night, that the Texas
Mineral road is link of the
Rock Island, and if we get it
ana it turns out to be the Rock Island,
the future welfare of our town is a GER
tainty. During the meeting last night
Fort Worth was constantly referred to
to show what little pluck, energy and
unity, coupled with a little money,
would accomplish, and with the coming
OF this road smelling works and stove
factories, foundries, etc., were all in the
picture. 1t was one of the most
enthusiastic meetings ever held here,
and adjourned subject to the call Of the
railroad committee.

The Same Old Story from Ocean Grove.

Baltimore American
With ali of its claims to morality
Ocean Grove is the place on the Atlantic
coast where the feminine form is most
generously displayed. The female bath
ing suit takes possession of the streets
and the practices of bathers here are in
marked contrast to those of the women
OF other resorts. This is a resort for
families and apparently all of them have
brought their bathing suits along.
Instead of dressing down at the beach
as is the custom elsewhere, many of the
women living away up in the town dress
IN their rooms at the cottage and walk
the whole length of the streets and ave-
nues TO the bathing pavilions and back
again every morning. Taking stand at
the foot of any of the avenues that run
through Ocean Grove to the beach YOU
may see hundreds of young women in the
morning in their bathing robes going
down TO or returning from the
beach. Some wear waterproofs-most of
them do not. They walk along the ave-
nues a half q dozen blocks from the
ocean with as little nervousness as a
woman at Long Branch would take q
header.

The vest,buls as Safety Device.

Closely related to the coupler is the
vestibule, which within the last two
years has become so fashionable. The
vestibule is not merely a luxury, but has
g certain value as a safety device. The
fun measure of this value has not vet
been proved. Occasionally lives are lost
by passengers falling from or being
blown from the platforms of moving
trains. Such accidents the vestibule will
prevent, and further, it decreases the
oscillation of the cars, and thus to some
degree helps TO prevent derailmeut. 1t
is also some protection against telescope

Mr.. W. A. Dobbs, the live young
president of the Commerce national bank
Of Commerce, Tex, was in the city yes
terday on his return home from Colorado,
where he has been spending the sum-
mer. Mr.. Dobbs says that all the towns
on the line of the Fort Worth and Den
yer are booming, and that he noticed at
every station people getting on bound for
Fort Worth, and that when they reached
here fully three hundred got off. Mr..
Dobbs is great friend and ad-
mirer of Fort Worth. He says
that her record of keeping up the
value Of real estate through three
straight years of severe drouth is unsur-
passed by any other city in the United
States. He says that Fort Worth is the
coming metropolis of Texas, and he con-
fiGently predicts that she will have pop
ulation in less than ten years of over one
hundred thousand. Mr.. Dobbs has not
only been to Colorado but also to Cali
fOrnia and through the Western terrific
ries. He returns home with more faith
IN the Lone Star state than ever, and
says that Fort Worth is the brightest
and most enterprlsing of all the young
Western cities. In the development of
Fort Worth, Mr.. Dobbs did not forget to
pay high tribute to THE GAZETTE.

TO advance through rates between Chi

WHY WE ARE RIGHT HANDED.
Protection of the Vulnerable Part Of the
Body.
American Analyst.

Body.
American Analyst.
Primitive man, being by nature fight
ing animal, fought for the most part at
first with his great canine teeth, his nails
and his fists, till in process of time he added
to those early and natural weapons the
further persuasions of a club of shillaleh.
He also fought, as Darwin has conelus-
lively shown, in the main for possession of
the ladies of his kind against
other members of his own sex
and species. And if you fight, you soon
learn 70 protect the most exposed aud
vulnerable portions of your body. Or, if
you don It, natural selection manages it
for you by killing you off as an immedi-
ate consequence. To the boxer, wrestler
or hand-to- hand combatant, that most
vulnerable portion is undoubtedly the
heart. A hard blow well delivered on
the left breast will easily kill, or, at
any rate. stun even a strong man. Hence,
from all carly period men have used the
right hand to fight with, and have en-
ployed the left arm chiefly to cover the
heart and to parry a blow aimed at
that especially vulnerable region. And
when weapons of offense and defence
superseded the mere fists and teeth, it
IS the right hand that grasps the spear
or sword, while the left holds over the
heart for defense the shield or buckler.
From this simple origin, then, the whole
vast difference of right and left in civil
lied life takes its beginning. At first
no doubt the superiority of the
right hand was only felt in the manner
of fighting. But that alone gave it a
distinct pull and paved the way at last
for the supremacy elsewhere; for when
weapons came into use the habitual en-
ployment of the right hand to grasp the
spear, sword or knife made the nerves or
muscles of the right side far more obedi-
ent to the control Of the viii than those
of the left. The dexterity thus acquired
by the right-see how the word ssdex-
terity' implies this fact-made il more
natural for the early hunter and
artifcer TO employ the same
hand preferentially in the man
ufacture of flint hatchets, bows and
arrows, and all the other manifold ac-
tiTities OF savage life. It was the hand
with which he grasped his weapon; it
