CATERING TO BACHELORS.
They Have Their Inning Now, But That
of the Old Maids Is Coming.

They Have Their Inning Now, But That
of the Old Maids Is Coming.
speaking of new edifice designed
for the comfort of bachelors" says
New York paper, some one was grumb-
ling the other day about the alleged
neglect of the interests of old maids,
and complaining that no shelter was
especially provided for them nor rooms
reserved, except in Christian homes
and tifth-rate lodging houses Never
mind! If there is set of beings whose
ship is coming in soon with great big
cargo, it is the old maids. The reason
why such care is taken of bachelors
why such palaces are built for them to
live in, and all The best things are kept
for them, is because they have money
and can pay. The bachelor of thirty
odd, with good income, the whole of
which he can spend on himself is gen.
tleman to be respected. There are very
large potentialities of profit in him. 1t
pays to provide comforts and Injuries
for him, and they are provided. If
there was as much money in coddling
old maids as there is III looking after
bachelors, there would be nothing that
they could wish for that would not be
offered. just as soon as the old maids
get the ability to pay, their hearts
desires will be provided for them in in
creasing quantities at so much heart.
Meanwhile, they are getting richer all
the time. For one thing, they inherit
more money than they used to. because
there is vastly more money to be in
herited than there used to be, and here
in tho United States they get, prac-
tically, their full share. For another
thing, they earn much more than they
used to earn, not only because there are
more of them at work, but because
much larger proportion of them can
command good pay than formerly. Any
one who is old enough to have a formed
handwriting can remember the time
when a woman who could earn $500 in
year was looked upon as marvel. There
is no scarcity of such women now, nor
any notable dearth of women who earn
two, three, five or ten times as much.
Moreover, there is no longer any serious
sentiment to prevent woman who has
money from buying pretty much any
thing there is in the market that man
can buy. She can not buy bachelor
apartment quite as conveniently as a
man can yet; and though she can invest
some of her surplus in clubs, she has not
so tempting range of choice as she
will have in the future. But she can
buy houses and every thing accessory,
from opera boxes to hired men, and run
them and enjoy them. She can buy
every species of instruction, from china.
painting to anatomy, and she can buy
pretty much every known variety Of
foreign travel.

WIDOW DOLGOROUKI.
State Secrets Revealed by the Morganatlc
Wife of the Late Gar.

Wife of the Late Gar.
Princess Dolgorouki, the morganatic
wife of the late Gar, has, according to
an Odessa telegram, just published her
memoirs in Russia. Every available,
copy, however, has been bounced upon
Immediately by the police. In this in
teresting volume the Princess gives a
graphic account of what happened on
the very eve of the assassination of the
Inflated Alexander II. During the.
evening before the tragic event took
place she was in room adjoining that
in which the police report for the day
was being submitted to the emperor.
When Colonel Standen mentioned that
soldiers in whom more trust could be re-
posed had been stationed on guard at
the palace, the Gar displayed great ir-
ritation, exclaiming, What! am sur.
rounded by traitors even in my OWE
house? If such be the case, the most
ragged beggar is happier than l. Well,
l shall appeal to the people, dwell
among them, and show them that have
confidence in them and do not fear the
cowardly assassins who dare not emerge
from their obscurity!' His Majesty
then went into the room where
the Princess was sitting, and said that
he had decided on going to Vienna,
although the Russians were hated there
since his father died. He would settle
some business with the Emperor of Aus
tria which could not be intrusted to a
third party. Soon afterward, at midnight,
the unhappy Emperor discovered, to his
horror, that his favorite dog Tristan
had been poisoned, and, flying again
into a violent rage, he overwhelmed his
valet with abuse and threats.
The Princess had begged Alexander
II. not to go out on the morrow, but at
nine o'clock in the morning a note was
brought to her which betrayed the nerv-
Gus agitation to which the unfortunate
monarch was a prey. He had begun by
saying that in conformity with her
wishes and his promise he would remain
at homo, but had scratched out the
words, and had written, inst ad, that he
needed air and exercise, and would 60
out soon, adding that he would bring
back the Grand Duke Sergius to lunch
with her. The Princess was making
preparations to accompany or follow the
Gar, when looking out of the window
she saw the guards passing by in great
confusion. Soon afterward she heard Of
the Emperors death. She hurried 20
the Winter Palace and threw herself or
the mangled and bleeding corpse. Then
Alexander III. told her that his father
had uttered her name with his dying
breath. 1t is to be hoped that trans
lation of these memoirs will soon make
Its appearance, as the Princess was in a
position to throw light on many politi-
cal puzzle.

NATURAL ELOOUENCE.
Many Orators Replace it by Carefully
Elaborated EIouuencc.


Though natural eloquence is supposed
to be a thing of the heart, and of the
inspiration of the moment, great orators
very often have to depend for their elo-
quence upon something quite other than
inspiration. tits impossible for them
to speak from full heart on every &C
occasion, and natural eloquence must be
replaced by carefully elaborated elo-
quence.
Edward Everett. the "siiver- tongued
orator." used to write his addresses and
commit them to memory. This method
has been followed by many other public
men whose 'impromptu" eloquence has
been a matter for great admiration to
their hearers. Indeed, it may be laid
down as an accepted rule that great
speecpes are made beforehand. There
have been some notable exceptions tc
this rule, but it is nevertheless rule.
NJ. Paul de Remusat relates that Wis.
iting once his friend, NJ. Theirs. who
had not yet become President of the
French Republic, but was one of the
most noted orators of Europe, he found
the great statesman at his desk, busy
with paper and pen.
"You come just in time" said Theirs.
II am just finishing the speech that ]
am to deliver in the Corps Legislatif
tomorrow. will read you some pas
sages, and you may tell me just what
you think about it."
1t was, perhaps, NJ. Theirs most IA
nous speech-his great impeachment of
Napoleon III. and his policy. The
young man listened with interest, and
ventured to say after the reading that,
while the address was remarkably
strong one, he missed something of tho
easy, natural, perfectly simple method
which was characteristic of M. Theirs
"You are right, said the great orator,
81 haven't put in the negligence yet.
Taking his pen, he proceeded to add a
touch of negligent ease here and there,
changing careful expressions to careless
ones.
Now" he said at last, lit is sponta-
neous!"
NJ. Theirs once wrote to Sainte- Beuve:
81 have spent my life in public assem-
hlies, and have been struck by one thing:
The moment a speaker begins to make
what we call phrases, the audience be-
gin to smile disdainfully, and to cease
to listen.'
Notwithstanding his love for the sim
pie and unconventional in oratory. NJ.
Theirs was in the habit of putting his
spoken speeches into more formal shape
for permanent record. Taking the
proofs of the nervous. often incomplete
sentences which the stenograper had
caught on the wing, he transformed
them into stately periods.
They were all very we'll in their
way" he said, but they were not

CAIARRH-

Catarrh is often regarded by the patient as
cold in the head, and he often expresses his
astonishment at his remarkable tendency. to
contract fresh cold. Indeed he declares that
he is scarcely free from one cold before he
takes another, and he is always exceedingly
that the cold always seems to settle in the
head and throat.
At times many of the symptoms of catarrh
seem to abate, and the patient is led to hope
that the disease is about to wear off; but an
other class of symptoms soon appear and he
learns to his horror, that instead of recovery
from the disease, it is somewhat changed in its
character and has extended to the throat.

reading, speaking or singing; hoarseness at
times occurs, a sensation OF dryness is felt in
the throat, or it appears that some foreign
substance as, for instance, hair, obstructed

and fatigue; the breath lessons on little
exertion, short hacking cough peculiar
sound in clearing the throat, feeling as
though there was not room enough in the
chest to breathe; these and other symptoms
occur after the disease has made considerable
progress. Then it is time when consumption
is about to begin its dreadful work. Up
to this time the progress of the disease may

Why Ii Is Twelfth DAY.

Tradition says that the twelfth day
from Christmas day was remarkable for
having been that upon which the visit
Of the Magi took place, upon which
Christ was baptized, the water at Cana
turned into wine and the five thousand
fed. For 800 years it was kept by east
ern Christians as the day upon which
Christ was born. and among ourselves it
was long observed with great festivities.
We are told that in the reign of King
Alfred a law was passed 'by virtue of
which the twelve days after the nativity
of our Saviour were made festivals"
The last day was accounted the great
est of the twelve. and especially given
up to Christmas gambols" and the Wis
iting of friends. The custom seems long
to have continued in force, for in the
Sixteenth century Twelfth day seems to
have been kept with as much zeal as
Christmas. The royal family at court
led the way, the universities and the inns
Of court following them in the extent of
their festivities At the temple the
whole twelve days were kept with great
care, and many of the country gentle
men followed the same custom. In some
parts of England the very poorest peo-
pie contrived TO keep the twelve days
with such good cheer for themselves and
their neighbors as their means would
allow.-Exchange
