NOT AFRAID OF 0RAueATs
One OF the PecuIIaritIes Of EmDres.
Maria Theresa OF Austria

One OF the PecuIIaritIes Of EmpreSs
Maria Theresa Of Austria.
1t has been said that Queen Victoria
sleeps in unheated rooms, and that in
frosty weather she has the windows of
all her living rooms open, so that guests
visiting Windsor must be chilly.
This has called attention to the
memoirs of Caroline Pichler, which tell
that the Empress Maria Theresa pos
sessed similar popularity. The moth
or of Caroline Piohler before her mar
riage was reader to Maria Theresa, and
she also assisted the Empress with her
toilet. She relates the following:
The Empress, being large, stoutly-
built woman, warmth was not agreeable
to her. She did not allow her apart
ments to be warmed. She had no fear
OF dtaughts; she did not know what
rheumatism was. In winter time the
window was often open beside her writ
ing-table, and wind would blow the
snow in onto the paper from which l was
reading to her.
The Empress went. to- see a process
sion on Corpus Christi Day. It took
place under theAhot sun in Vienna, and
she returned to Schoenbrun overheated.
She threw off her outer garments and
sat with dressing mantle around her
in the middle Of her dressinQ-room. of
which the windows and opposite doors
were open to. cause draught. Then
the Empress drank lemonade and ate
iced strawberries, and while doing so,
in order TO lose no time, she had her
beautiful long hair brushed.
Service TO the Empress was often
very painful during the winter, as one
had to work with cold hands and the
body would shake with cold, while the
Empress did not seem to feel any thing
of it" -.n -
1t is told of Kaunitz, who was much
spoiled, that when he came to make a
report to the Empress he was wrapped
In furs, so as not to catch cold in her
roOms.-London Telegraph.

"Robbing Peter to Pay Paul"

This expression arose thus: On De-
cember II, 1910, the abbey church of st,
Peter, Westminster, was advanced to
the dignity of cathedral by letters
patent; but ten years later it was Joined
to the diocese of London again, and
many of its estates appropriated to the
repairs of st. Paul's Cathedral. One
hundred years later, in 1910, we find him
in 'Outlandish Proverbs" selected by
George Herbert, priest and poet of
classic renown, the subject of one of
'Wilton's Lives" the proverb altered
and set forth as follows: Give not St.
Peter so much, to leave st. Paul moth
ing" This proverb is quoted by Fran
els Rabelais early in the sixteenth cent
ury. Upon the death of William Pitt,
Earl of Chatham, in 1878, each of the
metropolitan cemeteries laid claim to
the honor of burial. The City of Lon
don argued that so great statesman as
William Pitt should be buried in St.
Paufs, while Parliament took the
ground that the dust of so great man
as he should come near to the dust of
Kings, and that not to bury him in
Westminster Abbey would again be
''robbing st. Peter to pay ST. Paul.

ABOUT NERVOUSNESS.
why Americans Are More Nervous Thar
the People of Enrope.

why Americans Are More Nervous Than
the People of Europe.
II there is one word more than an
other behind which the physician takes
refuge when perp!exed at the recital of
multitude of symptoms seemingly
without logical connection or adequate
cause, that word is nervousness. Amer
lean nervousness is indeed distinctive
phrase, and the frequency with which
allusion is made to it gives it, in the
minds of many, meaning apart from
that ordinarily ascribed to the term. We
hear very little of English, French or
German nervousness, and yet in pref
ty large experience in the treatment of
this condition, the writer has thus far
failed to detect any widely divergent
lines of different nationalities. But
while the general characteristics of the
nervous temperament are very much
the same, whether observed in the
English or German, French or Ameri-
can, and while the same general causes
underlie each class of cases, it can not
be denied that in America there ara
climatic conditions and business and
social environments to the influence of
which the nervous system is peculiarly
susceptible, especially if complicated
with evil habits, excuses, tobacco. al
cohol worry and special excitements.
AN American in England is frequently
surprised to find that he is able to in
dulge in malt and spiri tuous LIQUORS to
an extent that he would never attemnt

hnds to his cost that excuses in eating
and drinking impose heavier tax upon
the conservative processes of the BODY
than In the humid atmosphere of his in
sular home. The Englishman is less
nervous than his American cousin, not
because he is less abstemious in his eat
ing and drinking, but because excuses
are less hurtful in certain directions in
his climate than in ours. 1t has been
denied that Americans are especially a
nervous race because of the immense
amount OF work they accomplish. This
union of nervousness with capacitv
for mental labor is by no means
peculiar to any race, for much of the
worlds best work has been done by the
nervously-exhausted. George Eliot.
Darwin and Spencer, Heine, Kant and
Schiller, Montague, Joubert and Rous-
seau, illustrate the possibility of not
only living, but doing original work on
a small capital of reserve force. This
union of nervousness or nervous exhaus-
ton with capacity for mental labor,
while apparently paradox of science,
Is one that can be reconciled and made

THE young girl who uses chewing
gum is foolish and, perhaps, ignorant"
The speaker was a well-known ply
stefan and he was speaking of the habit
which was thought to have gone out of
fashion, but which seems to have be-
come prevalent again.
IF the girls who affect the habit only
knew that it ruined the eyes and in
juriously affected the whole nervous
system they would, perhaps, cease to
cling to it," continued the speaker.
"The practice of chewing gum is more
general than most people suppose, and
is really injurious to those who affect, =.
"You ask how is this? l will tell YOU.
The muscles of the jaw are connec ted
with the spine, and from the spine del

ABOUT SWEET DOORS.
Perfumer Says They Are Only Three
in Number.


Perfumer Says They Are Only Three
in Number.
''Sweet odors," said Chestnut street
perfumer recently, "are of three kinds
the floral, the aromal and the balsam-
ic. The first group includes all these
derived from sweetsmelling flowers;
the second those derived from resins,
musks and similar substances. The
otto, or essence of perfume, is obtained
by distillation, maceration or enflour-
age.
Art, the perfumer continued, 'im-
proves on nature and gives bouquets of
most delicate odor, such asJockey Club,
West End, Mousselaine, Milleheur and
a host Of others which have no counter
part in garden or grove. The delicate
heliotrope, for instance, is scarce and
Improbable to the perfumer. He de-
tectS in its odor, however, the aroma of
vanilla combined with the sharper
scent OF bitter almonds. Therefore he
adds to a tincture of vanilla a small
quantity Of the otto of bitter almonds
and rose and orange flower essence,
and thus easily makes extract of hell
trope.'
ate" he continued. "but it's odor is de-
sirable. 1t is furnished by mixture of
orange flower, rose. tuberose and violet
essences, which makes a fine extract of
magnolia Indian lemon-green like
wise gives extract of verbena.' With
the rose as a foundation and dash of
verbena the perfume of the delicate and
fleeting sweet brier is obtained.
'Of the animal substances ambergia,
the secretion Of spermaceti whale,
gives mellowness and permanency to
mixtures. Ciuet, a secretion of the At
rlcan and Indian cat, has an odor har-
monizing with floral compounds. Musk
Is found in the small pocket or pouch of
the musk deer of China, Tonquin and
Thibet- 1t is so powerful, aromatic and
persistent that one part of musk will
scent more than three thousand parts
of inodorous powder.
"Of the spice series cloves are largely
used. They are the unexpended flower
buds of the Glove trees. Cinnamon or
cassia is largely used. Cassie is not
cassia. Cinnamon or cassia is the bark
OF tree. Cassia comes from China, the
true cinnamon from Ceylon, and the
two odorous grasses are natives of India;
one is known as the lemon grass from
which ali our extracts of verbena' and
'verbena water are made, little adj
dition of lemon essence making the
counterfeit complete.
Let me now give a bit of advice to
your readers. Above all things, avoid
coarse, strong perfumes. A heavily-laden
odor easily degenerates into bad smell.
Good taste and breeding in a woman
may easily be told from the perfumes
she uses. While lady charms us with
the delicate ETHEREAL fragrance she
spreads about her, aspiring vulgarity
will surely betray itself by mouchoir
redolent of common perfume. "-Phila-
delphia American.
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1890-06-04

CONSISTENT II we go deep enough In our
researches. The late DR.. Beard aptly
said that "the human body is a reser-
voir OF force constantly escaping, con-
stantly being renewed from the one
center of force-the SUM-" A per-
feet healthy man has a large amount
OF nerve force in reserve, and
this reserve is not often ex-
hausted, even approximately, by the
necessary toll and wear of mind and
muscle. A nervously-exhausted man
has small amount of nervous force in
reserve, and this reserve is often and
speedily exhausted. The margin on
which he can draw is narrow, NAV be
almost wiped out, under the calls Of
emotion and of mental or bodily labor.
but just as with the strong man the
force is renewed from without by food
and repose, so, like the strong man, he
can keep on thinking and worrying
until he dies, which may be long after
the death of the strong man. While
nervousness makes life painful and ir-
ritating, it does not of necessity shorten
life, nor does it always destroy its USE
fulness. Civilization itself, with all
telegraph, telephone and periodical
press, is the primary cause of the in
crease OF American nervousness. But
these accomplishments of civilization
exist in Europe as we'll as in America,
and there, as here, intensity in ten
thousand ways cerebral activity and
worry. Excuses also in eating and
drinking, and all forms of dissipation,
are no greater here, if as great, and we
must search elsewhere in order to an
swer the question, Why are Americans
more nervous than other people?
AS before intimated, the impor-
tant causative factor is found
in the relative dryness Of our at
mosphere, as well as in our extremes
of heat and cold. Evidence of the drv-
ness of the climate is observed in the
dryer and sitter hair grown by Ameri-
cans, and in their leanness compared to
the English and Germans. The atmos-
phere causes us literally to dry up. In
the Northwest this popularity of cli-
mate is more positive even than in the
East, as evidenced by the readiness
with which meats, when hung in the
air, are dried and preserved Then,
again, no one can estimate the impor-
lance of the natural electricity of the
body, nor altogether analyze the part it
plays In the human economy. Since, then,
we live in a climate that predisposes to
nervousness, must we of necessity all
become nervous? By no means Man
can rise superior to climate-can adapt
his methods of living to the vicissitudes
OF climate, and thus make the collective
bodily activities seem one-Dr. A. d.
Rockwell, in Frank Leslie's illustrated
Newspaper.
