TRUE WOMAELINESa

The significance of such occurrences as
that of last evening ut the Mt. Sinai Train
ing School for Nurses. goes beyond the
mere fact that thirty-six young women
then received their diplomas as fully
equipped attendants upon the sick.
There is a suggestion of true womanl'-
ness inseparable from the thought of the
coming out OF such a class; and it is of that
peculiarly precious womanliness which
combines not only the traits of tender
ness ana sympathy, but Of heroism and
self sacrifice.
Besides countless beds of suffering,
these graduates will, in their future
careers, step lightly us veritable angels of
mercy and relief. Blessings upon the
heads of these girls and their co-workcrs
from the same a d other schools may not
always be sp ken, ut they WI be of the
sort TO live threefold in II heart.

MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
How the Ceremony Was Considered
Among the Nations of Antiquity.

How the Ceremony Was Considered
Among the Nations of Antiquity.
The Hebrews had a beautiful and
elevated idea of the marriage relation,
the Greks had not. Sparta cared moth
ing for the sanctity of marriage, and 1t
was considered customary and reputable
for men to give their wives over to their
friends. Aristotle speaks of men buying
wives from one another. Homer refers
to the fact that the father was owner of
the child until she was beyond his con-
troll, and was paid for her in cattle, and
this was called cattle finding. a Trojan
ally, who was slain by Agamemnon,
had given hundred cattle to obtain n
wife, and then promised a thousand
head of sheep and goats besides.
If the wife proved unfaithful the
husband could demand back the price.
Under the Roman law dover had to
go with the wife.
Affinity and consanguinity were for
merly, in some countries, greater OBJ
iections to marriage than now. Greg
ory forbade the marriage OF cousins.
The Church of England does not forbid
such marriages. Some of our States do
and some do not. The romantic Cleo
patra was daughter of brother and
sister, and she welded a younger
brother, according to the custom of the
Ptolemies. Many authorities claim
that marriage to cousins is not detri-
mental where there have not been such
marriages in the family before.
The marriage ceremony has differed
in all ages. Among the ancient He
brews marriage began with the betroth-
al, but no formality was required. BY
His teaching Christ became a legislator
on this subject, and ennobled the rela-
ton more than it had ever been in the
worlds history. Cincinnati CONNER

OUR FATHERS DRESS.
Most of Them Followe1 the Advice Q
the Worldly-W polonius.

One hundred years ago the leading
men of the United States read in theiI
Bibles that the body is more than raj
ment, but they dressed according to the
advice of worldly-wise Polonius:
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy
For the apparel oft proclaims the man.
When Governor Bowdoin, a tall, dig
nifed man, reviewed the troops as
sembled at Cambridge in 1875, he was
dressed in a gray wig, cooked hat, a
white broadcloth coat and waistcoat, red
small-clothes and black silk stockings.
John Hancock, thin in person, six feet
in stature, was very fond of an orna-
mental dress. He wore wig when
abroad and cap when at home. A gen.
tleman who visited Hancock one day at
noon in June, 1882, describes him as
dressed in red velvet cap lined with
fine white linen, which was turned up
of the velvet. He also wore a blue
damask gown lined with silk; a white
stock, white satin-embroidered waist
coat, black satin small-clothes, white
silk stockings and red morocco slippers.
Washington, at his reception in Phila-
delphia, was dressed in black velvet; his
hair was powdered and gathered behind
in large silk bag. His hands were en-
cased in yellow gloves; he held a cooked
hat with cockade on it, and it's edges
adorned with black feather. He wore
knee and shoe buckles, and at his left
hip appeared a long sword in polished
white leather scabbard, with polished
steel hilt. Chief Justice Dana, of Massa-
chusetts, used to wear in winter a white
corduroy surtout, lined with fur, and
held his hands in large muff. The
judges of the Supreme Court OF Massa-
chusetts wore, till 1898, robes of scarlet,
faced with black velvet in winter, and
black silk gowns in summer. At the be-
ginning of this century powder for the
hair became questionable, tying up
the hair was abandoned, colored gar
ments went out Of use, buckles disap-
Deared and knee-breeches gave place to

A LAWYERS LUCK.
How Boom May BE Cherished and Ho"
1t May BE Lost.

How "A Boom May BE Cherished and How
1t May BE Lost.
A lawyer sometimes gets to be the
fashion. as it were. He has a boom,
and clients come to him from every side
because his name is before the public
eye. If he have ability of course no
will retain his popularity generally
But those who go into litigation are
tickle, just as those who engage them
selves in the matter of love, and some-
times their patronage flows to some
other lawyer. A peculiar instance IS
recited in this connection in regard to
George Harding, the great patent law
yer of New York City. Harding was
retained in the famous suit about the
infringement of the patent on boltlng
flour by the use of silk which was heard
before the United States Supreme Court.
Harding thoroughly posted himself on
this method of boiling flour and
one of the largest flour manu-
facturers of the country who
heard his speech in the trial, said
that when Harding closed his argument
he had learned more about the manu-
facture of flour than he ever knew be-
fore by his experience in his own mill.
Harding had the faculty of tenaciously
grasping the very sinew of a subject and
making it clearly understood. Then he
was also retained in the celebrated pat
ent suits about 'tin-tag' tobacco His
fame and name went abroad, went over
the land, and without any eXaggeration
it is said that his practice as a patent
lawyer brought him $500, 900 year.
For summer vacation Harding once
went up to the Adirondacks and became
a guest of fashionable hotel. He COM
planned to the proprietor about tho
management being poor in the hotel,
and the proprietor promptly informed
him that if he didn't like the way
things were run around the house he
could take his trunks and leave. "May
be YOU had better build hotel here of
your own, and run it to suit YOURSELF"
added the landlord in a taunting
tone, Il DclltN6 WILL, lOPiiO'
Harding. And not to be outdone by the
landlords tantalizing spirit, Harding,
sure enough, made his word good,
and put up large hotel. 1t was fur
nished in the best modern style, and for
a time was a threatening rival of tho
other hostelry. But Harding was
great lawyer, not hotel man, and he
lost money steadily on the new enter
prise, Harding spent great deal OF
time looking after his hotel, and left

concluded he would 60 into business for
himself, and his shingle was straight
way fondled by the breeze. He imme-
diately made his mark and took slice
of 100000 a year away from Mr. Hard
ing's patronage. Many tickle clients
left Harding and went to Bennett Still
Harding doesn't suffer from the loss OF
this big slice. But the incident shows
that it is best for every man to stick to
his own last st. Louis Globe-Democrat'

Most people suppose that feather beds,
feather holsters and feather pillows con-
tain feathers, and sometimes they do.
The kind that are manufactured for
sale, usually, do contain some feathers,
and it is proper to believe that some
manufacturers make their pillows and
holsters what they profess to be. But a
woman who has worked in such factory
has told medical journal that the prac-
tice is very general of stuifing quanti-
ties of dirty rubbish into so-called feath-

Visiting the Packing House.

Mr.. h. L. Niedringhaus of the Home
land and cattle company came In from
st. Louis yesterday in company with the
company's Montana superintendent,
Mr.. c. NJ. Jacobs. Both gentlemen
we're in consultation yesterday with Mr..
T. T. d. Andrews, manager Of The
Texas ranch belonging to the company,
and will leave for Panhandle City to-
10th of November, and this is his first
trip TO Texas for some time. Speaking
OF the prospects for the approaching
winter In the North, Mr.. Jacobs said
that owing to drouth the grass is very
short, and that il there should be much
cold weather he anticipates heavy losses
in all tbs herds. "Of course we have a
great deal of loss every WINTER con-
tinued Mr.. Jacobs, "but l cannot tell
how heavy it will be If the season should
he stormy and unusuaily cold. However,
cattle are going into the winter in far
better condition than usual, aud II may
be possible that We will come out in the
spring in better shape than the indioa-
tons point.
Mr.. Jacobs also spoke of the recent
Indian troubles in the Northwest, and
said he anticipated no outbreak on the
part of the Sioux. II the Dakota Sioux
should go on the war path, however. AMI
attempt to pass into the British possess
ions they will in all probability go di-
reutly through the range of the Home
land and cattle company. This range is
i'll the Indian country, and in all lIkeli-
hood the Indians would kill great many
cattle IL not captured In time. Mr..
Jacobs says that the cowmen will stop
the red skins if the soldiers do not, al
though As has been said, he anticipates
no trouble.
