ThIngs which Attract Men.

What attracts man is one thing;
what will hold him, and command
his respect, is quite another, says
Edward w. Box in the Ladies.s
Home Journal.
A woman,s smile, for example,
attracts man; but an even temper
retains him.
A pretty gown attracts a man;
the knowledge that it was inexpen-
sive delights him.
A pleasant mannerattracts a man;
brightness of brain holds him.
A knowledge of how, when and
where TO be little stately, attracts
a man; an appreciation of the folly
ofirivolty, wins his respect.
A respect for the religious belief
of every human being, attracts a
man; irreverence in woman is to
him abominable.
A consideration for his comfort,
attracts a man; a continuation of
this makes him your humble slave
Achatin which there is no malice.
attracts a man; neither scandal nor
evil speaking make a woman seem
sweet and lovely to him.

sPhiIosopher.-


philosopher, in the Parkersburg
Sentinel, says: "The futility of small
measures is not yet realized. Small,
partial efforts not only do not do a
little good, they do none at all.
What would seven per cent. re-
duction in the tariff have done?
What farce the silver bill inst
passed is. The. Democrats, if they
mean to help the people. must strike
at the roots of the evils that oppress
us; they must take the stump and
speak out with courage and with
knowledge of what they are talking
about or they will lose the fight"
"If the protectionists were not so
ignorant of commercial law they
would know that any interference
with trade means harm to both sides
of the trade. If the people of Eu-
rope are injured that is no sign that
we are benefited. Not at all. The
protects" go upon this idea, and a
very mistaken short-sighted one it
is, that If we injure the people over
across the water we are gamers in
some mysterious way"
saGeneral Goffs's claim in his Re-
union speech that this country was
so rich and so prosperous, etc, etc,
may be and probably is true but the
workmen do not see jobs any too
plenty nor do they see wages rising.
The monopolists, land spectators
and trade restrictionists are getting
in their work too effectually for that.
The wealth is here but the produce
ers are not getting their share of it
in big wages.
"By Porter's census, and poor
one it is, the republicans will gain
36 congressman and the democrats
D, making clear balance in favor
of the republicans of 81. If the
democrats propose TO run their fu-
ture campaigns by still hunts they
may as well hang up their harp, but
if they will come boldly out and
fight for right and the people they
will wipe the g. o. p. off the face of
the earth"
"Their aim is to cause i'll feeling
between the masses over here and
in the old country, particularly 10
foster hatred towards England.
This is the old, old plan. To keep
the people divided so that they can
be more easily duped and robbed.
In the late civil war the working
class in England sided with the
north and the protection tory ele-
element with the south. This alone
should be hint to our working
I Teople." -..,,so
"The very fact that the monopo-
lists are SO anxious to keep up the
tariff should be an argument with
the laboring class against protect
ion" These tax eaters go down to
Washington and with tears in their
eyes as big as horse chestnuts plead
for "protection" so that they may
pay their hands those awfully big
wages and then skip back home
and order cut all around"

II. II. Barnum-s Advice 20 the
Young Men Of To-day.

To young men who would Hget
on in this world, and reach the age
of fopr-score years, with happiness
and prosperity, there is little more
to be said. But 1 will refer them
to study of my own rules ofaction:
Briefly, l would say-Be honest;
do not spend as much rs you make;
don't smoke or drink; depend upon
your own personal exertions, do not
leave important affairs to third
person; don't have too many irons
in the fire; do not get above your
own business, and above all, be sys-
tematic. Advertise your business on
all possible occasions; but attend to
it, too, and see that your claims and
promises made to the public are full
filed. 1t does not pay to have a
single customer go away dissatisfied.
Nor does it pay to take money for
services for which you do not render
an equivalent
The best working years of
mans life are usually between
twenty'six and sixty; but much
good work is possible long after the
three-score year mark has been
passed. ] can say. for myself that
every moment of my time is put to
some definite purpose, and though
| have numberIess calls and de
mands, l enjoy reasonable recrea-
ton each day. Both work and rest,
and joy also, should make up the
sum of busy life.

The Peoples Money.

New York World.
Secretary Window boasts that the
Treasury has disbursed s53, ,OOO, 900
within the last twenty-three days
for bond purchases, anticipated in
tcrest and pensions. He states also
in the same spirit of glorification
that he paid during the first eigh-
teen months of the present Ad-
lministration nearly $500, ,000, 900
upon the unmatured obligations of
the Government.
In spite of these and other extra
ordinary disbursements the money
market has been most of the time
tight. And Congress has during
the past six months passed appro-
priations with q recklessness un-
paralleled hitherto, to the end that
there may be no surplus hereafter
either to retain money from the
channels of busiRess or to make the
Treasury an alley of Wall street.
Where did all the money lately
disbursed or still locked mp come
from?
From the pockets of the people.
Every dollar of it was collected in
taxes, one-fourth of which have
been unnecessary.
Ii the Government had left every
dollar not needed for its legitimate
expenses where that dollar rightful.
iy belongs-in the pocket of the
man who earned it-there would
have been no surplus to incite ex.
travagance, no lookup of currency
to cripple business.
For six years the democrats in
Congress tried in vain, against con.
slant republican opposition and OBJ
struction, to stop the surplus by re-.
ducing taxes. Within q year and q
half after obtaining unchecked con.
troll of the Government the republi.
cans have spent the surplus and are
now forcing bill through Congress

ency.

Nearly all peoples have repre-

to the most ancient ages of Chal-
dean art exhibit water-iet gush-
ing from a trident which is held by
the god of the sky or of the storm.
The Assyrian artist who first, on the
basreiiefs of Nsmrod or Malthai,
doubled the trident or transformed
it into a triid Eascicle, docile to the
reinements and elegancies of classic
art, by that means secured tor the
ancient Mesopotamian symbol
the advantage over all the others

lures of a bird ofprey. When they
received the Asiatc figure of tho
thunderbolt. they put it in the
eagles claws and made of it the
seepter of Zeus, explaining the COM
bination, after their habit, by tho
story of the eagle bringing thunder
to zeus when he was preparing for
the war agais the Titans. Latin
Italy transmitted the thunderbolt
TO Gaul, where, in the last centuries
of paganism, it alternated, on the
Fallo-Roman monuments, with the
two.headed hammer. 1t is also
found on amulets of Germany, Scan
dinavia, and Brittany. India, fol-
lowing Alexander, where it is found
competing with other symbols hav-
ing the same significance.

Can't Learn their Names.

Small as Rhode Island is, its CEN
sus supervisor says: ''There are a
few settlements in tho State where
no one can learn the names of the
inhabitants. The employers them
selves do not know the names, but
designate them by numbers only. :"
Some of the same sort of population
is to be found in Pennsylvania. For
the protected employers who have
brought this labor into the country
to compete with American working
men, designation by number serves
quite as well as by name. This
cheap and degraded foreign labor
constitutes portion of the raw ma
terial which the favorites of tariff
spoliation grind into wealth. 1t is,
in fact, almost the only imported
raw material that is not subjected
to heavy taxation.

Mary Anderson,s Ki1ten.

Mary Anderson, says writer in
the Courier-.Joarndl, has a pet cat
which exhibits remarkable eviden-
ces of the truth of mctempsychosis.
There are stranger things than are
dreamed ofin our philosophy and
many domestic animals seem to be
endowed with all the attributes
which we manifest in what we call
our "soul" or immortality" Miss
Mary's cat became mother one
night, and every chitand child died,
leaving the mother cat inconsolable.
She would throw herself on the
floor, drag herself along by the fore
feet and moan and whine like a hu-
man being. Finally the actress,
deeply impressed with such exhibi-
tions Of heart -brokcnness, sent out
and procured one little kitten,
which she gave to the feline Rachel.
Her joy was indescribable. The
old cat got into the box with her
adopted child, fondling it and new
ing for excuse of joy. For two
weeks she would not leave the box
for fear she might lose her adopted
kitten. Food was brought to her TO
keep her alive.
Meantime Miss Anderson was
taken i'll and removed to the second
floor. After two or three days her
pct went to search for her mistress.
and, finding her, sprang upon the
bed, caressing her with as much
fondness as if she had been a child.
"I'm sick, pet, said Miss Anderson.
"and when you was sick and dis
tressed l gave you a little kitten 10
console you" No sooner were the
words spoken than down the stairs
ran the old cat, and, seizing her
foster-kitten by the back ofthe neck.
bore it To her mistress, jumped up
on the bed, and tenderIy placed It
in her arms. The truth of this is
vouched for. Who says that ami
mails have not souls?

elaai for xer,onsness.

According TO DIR. Allan McLane
Hamilton, Nervousness is the great
brain trouble in this country. A
great mistake that Americans make
is in their diet. They take us adults
too much OF vegetable and tarin-
aceous diet, drink too much beer
and eat too many sweets Children
should have more farinaceous foods,
and adults should eat more meat
and take more of an animal diet.
Neat produces hysteria when eaten
by young girls, and when taken by
young boys is likely to produce con-
vulsions. Insomnia and other nerv-
GUS diseases are due to insufficient
exercise, misuse of the brain, and
abuse of food; such as eating hot.
bread and hot cakes for breakfast.
Adults want more meat than the
average American adnlt eats. This
climate demands that the inhabi-
tants Of the country should eat a
more nutritious food than is eaten
elsewhere; then again Americans
are much less fitted to take stimu-
lants than foreigners are, on ac-
count of the climate in which we
live. / think that foreign vices are
responsible in very large degree
for American nervousness. The
habit of taking alcoholic drinks be-
fore meals is one of these bad vices;
and very few know the tremendous
amount of harm and injury that one
drink before breakfast in the morn
ing causes. The foreign habit of
drinking absinthe, liqueurs and cor
dials, is another very bad one.
Brain food is a misnomer. Many
people claim that fish is brain food
because phosphorus is found in the
fish to very large extent. This is
not SO. A great many advertise
ments set forth the advantages of
cereals as brain foods. These are
also mistakes. The best brain foods
are cold fats and vegetable oils. 1
consider one of the most important
articles of diet that we can possibly
have in this country to be cotton
seed oil. IL is one of the best fats
and much more healthful than lard.
III persons would use more olive oil
they would be great deal better
off, There arc lots of ways in which
they can take the olive oil without
ITS being unpleasant for them.
There are a great many adulterants
of food which, if used under their
own names, would be much more
valuable than the food which they
are now sold TO represent. Leon
slider oleomargarine much more
healthful than butter. Butter may
during its manufacture,
products of decomposition, and un-
less the butter is of the best possible
quality it may very often do a great
deal of harm. Wheaton foods or
cereals taken to tho exclusion of all
else is very injurious to the brain
and nervous system. 1t is unwise
for anybody to live on cereal diet
to the exclusion of animal diet"
