Why Called the Red Sea-"

The name of the I, ID sea is derived from
portions Of it which are covered with red
patches from yard 10 many miles square.
These patches are formed by vegetable AMI
malcuie, microscopic in size, which collect
on the surface and are articularly abundant
in the spring. dyeing the water al intensely
blood red. When not affected by these little
organic beings, toe Red sea" is as blue as
any of the other numerous seas known to the
Traveller and geoSray i,er.-St Louis Re-

"I don't owe anybody anything" protested
one young woman physician to another, when
gratitude to the older women who first VEN
tured into the thorny path of medicine was
suggested. says a writer in The " ashington
Capital II paid my fees, took my course,
l got my diploma and no thanks to any
body"
This is the kind of individual who ought to
sit at the feet of gentle Lucy Stone and listen
to some of her "reminiscences of the last half
century. When Mary Lyon came to the little
Massachusetts, town where Mrs. Stone was
brought up, she found all the women and
girls making shirts for the Young Mems Edu-
cational society. The boys must go to school,
but who thought of the girls? The boys could
earn dollar day, the girls dollar week,
when they taught school, and Mrs. Stone
dropped her thimble, reasoning very justly
that the boys could look out for themselves.
When Harriet Hosmer wanted instruction in
anatomy to help her in sculpture, she went
from medical college to medical college
throughout the east, and wandered as far as
st. Louis before any school agreed to take
her in.
''She doctors" was the pleasant little term
applied to the first woman who practiced
medicine. When Abby Kelly went on the
lecture platform to speak for the slave, a
preacher, who noticed her in his audience,
took as his text: '"This Jezebel is coming
among u.s." and when Lucy Stone was to
speak for anti-slavery in Maiden, Mass, the
clergyman who announced the address did it
after this wise: 81 have been requested by
MIR. Morey to say that at the Town hall, at 3
O'Clock this afternoon, a hen will try to crow
like a cook. All who would like to hear that
kind of music will no doubt be ON hand" It
is doubtful if the younger women ever can
appreciate through what martyrdom the
right to free speech and free action has been
bought for them, but one comes nearest to
such understanding when listening to one like
Mrs. Stone, to whom the past is still present
In mind and wildly real.

Paper Pillows.

During the Franco German war the ladies
in England were busy making paper cushions
which they sent to France to be used for the
wounded in the hospitals. Hundreds OF
thousands of these cushions were sent and
were Of great service Now all England Is
crazy on the subject of paper pillows again
They tear the paper into very small pieces,
not bigger than ones finger nail, and then
put them into pillow sack Of drilling or
light ticking. They are very cool for hot
climates, and mdch superior to feather pill
lows.
The newspapers are printing appeals for
them in hospitals. Newspaper Is not nice to
use, as there is disagreeable odor from
printers ink; but brown or white paper and
old letters and envelopes are the best As
they are torn stuff them into an old pillow
case and you can see when you have enough.
The easiest way is to tear or cut the paper In
strips about half an inch wide, and then tear
or cut it across. The finer it is, the lighter it
makes the piliows.-New York Man and Ex-

A CURIOUS FIGHT AT Elkins, W. Va, on Sum
day night coal miner named James Nee and
carpenter named Archer went on drunk together
and going to q saloon kept by Mrs. Wise they
drove the woman out of doors and wrecked the
interior of the plscs. About the time they had
completed the ruin the two men quarreled and
they concluded to fight duel over the wreck of
the bar. They had but one revolver and decided
they should take turn about in shooting at each
other They agreed on fifteen feet, nearly the
length of the room, as the distance. and Ar her
got the first shot. His bullet plowed groove in
Nee's scalp. He then gave up the pistol to Nes
and he fired at Archer and missed. Archer then
took second shot and missed and handed the
weapon ovor to Nee. This time Nee took better
aim, and shot Archer through the hand. Before
any more shots could be fired outsiders interfered
and took the revolver away.

The Worlds Fair.

As indicated in the GAzETTE's dispatches
the House OF Representatives yesterday, On
the eighth ballot. pronounced for Chicago as
the site of the Worlds Fair of 1892.
The following is the vote: Chicago 157,
New York 1O7, St. Louis 25, Washington Is.
Necessary TO 8 choice l56
The Virginia delegation voted as follows:
Messrs. Buchanan. Edmunds, Tucker, Ven
able, and Wise for New York, and Bovine,
Bowden Lee, Lester and 0 'Ferrall for Wash
ingtop.
The announcement of the result was
greeted with tremendous applause by the
Chicago adherents, who shouted and
cheered.
The House adjourned at o'clock in the
midst of the uproar.
Chicago led from the first, New York be.
ing second, St. Louis third and Washing
ton closing the rear. New York added to
Its vote at the expense of st. Louis or
Washington at every successive ballot, but
Chicago added also, 80 kept ahead The
result is boom for the west which is new
the strongest section of the country.
The character of the projected fair will,
OF course, be largely shaped by that of Its
SITE At Chicago it's visitors will be almost
wholly Americans and Canadians. The
old world foreigner will not much fancy
travelling 600 miles by land or more to get
to the fair after reaching the coast. The
South American will find Chicago dscour-
agngly remote.
The news of the selection was received
with enthusiasm in Chicago and with de-
preston iu New York where ex-senator
Platt was accused of having defeated that
city. Washington had DO chance from the
first.
Now thatth House has reached conclu-
sion on the bill the question of site ia but
half settled. The bill will now 60 to the
Senate and concurrent action must be had
there before the matter is finally disposed
Of 1t does not follow because the House
has decided upon one site that the Senate
will do likewise. The House. fer example,
having voted to locate the fair in Chicago,
the Senate may vote to send 1t to some other
city. 10 that event the bill will go to
committee of conference, where 1t may be
debated for days.
