The Charm of Femininity.

The increasing disinclination of our de- sirable young men to marry worries fond mammas with daughters on their hands, and it is problem which they have been unable to satisfactorily solve. The most popular reason given is that women are extravagant, costly luxuries, in which the average man hesitates to indulge. In some cases this may be true; but generally speaking this is rank nonsense. The men of the period may think the ''horsey" girl jolly fun, out they do not want to marry her Men of brains like set to with woman of opinions, but they do not want that bill of fare for breakfast, dinner and supper. The student knows well enough that algebra and isIns are worthless to keep household machinery in good working order.
 Nol Every one of them will pick out for wife the cIinging. modest, womanly woman. who will be content tor affect to bel to shine by reflected light. No man would willingly SC on record as Mrs. So- and-so's husband. Now we may as well admit that young women are willing and anxious to secure husbands, wherefore there's no use in denying that it is worth while foi the girls of the time to cultivate that otherwise definitionless charm which is understood by the word femininity.- Detroit Free Press.

Flowers fin Popular Lore.

It is a remarkable fact that flowers have usually been regarded as benefcent in popular lore. While animals are ire quently diaboical, flowers are seldom &C., credited with any malign influences. Their connection with religion has ever been an intimate one, and their beautify- ing use in the important ceremonies of life-at marriage, death and burial-have always endeared them to every one, so that their mission has always been soft ening and hun1aniZing one. Many of the humblest flowers and most neglected weeds have been regarded as sacred at some time or another.
 This fact of the good will held towards flowers in popular lore is partially shown by the benefcent names applied to them, as hearts ease, travellers joy, shepherds needle, honesty, etc. There are, how ever, some exceptions to this beneficent character. In Slesia it is said that flowers should not be laid on sick per son's bed. In Westphalia, no child should be decked with flowers until it is Q year old, as it would die soon, and the flowers wither. German peasants say flowers should not be laid on the mouth of a corpse, lest it bite them and become @ Nachzehrer, or sort of vampire. In England, to dream of white flowers means death, and the same is indicated by the sudden blooming of white rose bush. Any one who throws rose into an open grave will waste away.-F. s. Bassett in Globe Democrat.

Cases of Smokers, Vertigo.

Dr. Decaisne is reported as having re- gently investigated a number of cases of vertigo in smokers. Out of 6S patients, 49 were between 50 and 66 years of age. More than half of them suffered, in ad- dition, from digestive troubles, with con stipation alternating with diarrhea, in- somnia, palpitations, dyspnea and diuresis. In a third of the number there was marked intermittence of the pulse, and granular pharyngitis, while others suffered from aphthe, amblyopia, etc. Thirty seven were persons who smoked habitually on an empty stomach; and these suffered from vertigo, principally In the morning. The vertigo generally coincided with suppression of perspira- ton and diminished excretion of the urine. The treatment consisted mainly in regulating or suppressing the cause, but 8 out of 37 patients ceased to suffer on merely refraining from smoking on an empty stomach. York Medical RecOr1

Yves. Poln. Cadets. "slIn Board"

Up in his office the major of infantry who commands the battalion of cadets is busy with the arduous duties of his posi- tion. Hanging in the lower hallway that leads to his office is a huge frame filled with closely written sheets of paper. This is the delinquency list, or in cadet slang, the ''skin board." Approaching it we read:
 "Anderson-Wearing cap in quarters at police inspection.
 'Armstrong-Odor of tobacco smoke in quarters at inspection by officers of the day.
 'Billingsgate-Using profane expres- sion 9:15 a. m.
 ''Same-Absent from room at a. m. inspection.
 "Brooks-Slow extinguishing light at taps" and so on throughout the long list. On Friday punishments fitting their respective ofenses will be awarded the delinquents.
 Academic regulations are very strict, being the combined result of the expert ences of long line of superintendents, and any cadet who could and would go through his whole four years course with out breaking any of them should, at it's close, be graduated straight through the pearly gates and receive a golden harp instead of a diploma. He, during his four years course, would have carefully refrained from the use of stimulants bad language and tobacco in any form; would have attended divine service at least once week; would have lived with his comrades in a spirit of brotherly love; would have kept bis shoes bright, his collar spotless, and would have been promptly on handlfor every one of his manifold duties. Such is the ideal cadet, and the regulations are intended to make the real ones approach as near to him as possible. But, alasl they are all sons of Adam, and the ''skin list' is the unfor- tunate result.-Lieut. E. w. Lewis in Inter Ocean,

Tho Bahamas Sponge Exchange.

The greatest sponge exchange on this continent is h.! an inspiring sight to one fresh from Wall street. It is merely a large shed without side walls, and open to the public generally. Along the sides are scattered huge piles of the elastic protozoans strung together in strands. The building is opened at Q o'clock in the morning. the members of the exchange being promptly on hand. There are no tickers, no splendor of plug hats, no Ba- bel of shrill voices, no excited groups. The brokers merely deposit bids with the clerk of the exchange and at noon the highest bidder on any one cargo has the privilege of buying that cargo Not withstanding the primitive provincialism of their methods Nassau brokers are keen business men. They understand ''gloves" and key Vesters" as well as Wall street man understands puts and calls, and they often bid within two pence or threepence of one another on cargoes ranging in value from ESQ to e125.-Nassau Cor New York Sun.

Fnst rruneI on the Ocean.

It gives a confirmed landsman cold chill when he reads that the Etruria ran through fogs at a rate almost equaling an express train. Is this kind of thing safe? That is the question. The opinions of those who ought to know are almost unanimously in favor of getting out of a fog just as quickly as possible, and there seems to be no question but the driving through fog at high rate of speed is the best thing to do under the circum- stances.
 The only vessels lost during recent years have been lost while either stand ing still or going slowly. If the Oregon had been going faster she would not have been struck. Still the same may be said if she had been going very much slower. The City of Brussels was stand ing still in fog when she was run down. In many respects a fast steamer has great advantages over a slow one. She can keep iD the position she wants to in storm, and in many cases she can avoid storm altogether or outrun it or get on the outer edges of it. A steamer going at high rate of speed will answer her helm much better than a slower boat. When a steamer slows down the roar of escaping steam renders it impossible to hear anything except the roar. When she is going at full speed everything is as quiet as it is possible to be, and the whistle of an approaching steamer can be heard and to certain extent located. If steamer takes two days instead of three days to get through fog bank it is evident that the percentage of danger is lessened just that much.
 So in spite of what the papers have been saying of the recklessness of run ming big ship through fog at good speed, it seems to be the safest thing to do.-Detroit Free Press.

Method. nt a ..,inaranIee Companr...


 "We give our heaviest bonds for ad- ministrators of estates. We have given them as high as $700,000. Here, how ever, we absolutely secure ourselves. The bond covers the money and securi- ties belonging to the estate, and these we lock into drawer in some safe deposit company's vault. The drawer has three keys, one of which is held by us, one by the administrator, and one by the safe deposit company If it is necessary to take anything from the drawer. not less than two men-generaIly three go from this company widT the administrator and his lawyer The securities are all taken out upon ta!Le. and after the required paper is found they are carefully put back.
 I've used to send but one of our men, but an unfortunate incident taught us the value of greater caution. One of ouI principal officers-l will not say who, because he is sore about it yet-went down to the safe deposit company with the lawyer employed by an administra tor. While they were there the lawyer stealthily distracted package contain ing $79. 900 and put it under his coat He is now in Mexico, out of the way, and we have settled the account, which cost us in the aggregate about $100,000. Since then we have taken the greatest possible care. All money deposited in different companies is in the joint name of our president, vice president and treasurer, and their three signatures are necessary to get it out. We consider ourselves absolutely safe now. In cases of bonds over $25, we reinsure in other companies here and in England" New York Mail and Express

Child Labor in Germany.

The German laws are as near the ideal ns any. Children under 12 cannot be employed in factories; those under IA must not labor beyond six hours day; those between IA and 16 may be held to labor ten hours, and no more. They must be allowed all Sundays and all holi- days, and regularly one hour at noon, and half an hour in the forenoon and half an hour in the afternoon as resting times This law is guarded by provisions so rigid that an American employer would de- nounce them as burdensome. Too much cannot be done to prevent the feeding of child life into our machines.

Eating Frnit at Rreakfast.

One of the most injurious customs ip regard to eating is the practice of serving fruit at the beginning of breakfast The best medical testimony pronounces acid of any sort hurtful if taken when the stomach is empty. A more judicious custom provides fruit at the close of the meal Besides being easier digested at that time. the fruit can be better relished. If it is thought that the fruit loses it's flavor in warm room through long meal, it may not be placed upon the table, but kept in a cool spot until the time of serving Chicago Herald

subterranean Streams of Barbados.

The island is nearly streamless. The only brooklet that have seen is called Indian river. It originates ill swamp, flows dignified course of three or four hundred yards in length and ten feet in width, until it reaches the sea just above Fontabelle. No cascades add their beauty of snowy lace foam to white coral cliffs there is no surface water. This, where a single days rain fall has been known to measure ten inches, seems curious; but the same porous rock that coral insects built for Barbadians to live upon takes care of that. The water finds it's way down 100 feet or more until it reaches re- sisting material, and then, in darkness and unseen, returns to the sea. There it makes itself known by springs that are occasionally of sufficient size to temper percepiblv the salt water around, and even to become visible through the latter, as they spout up through white sand at the bottom; and bathers in this pleasant mixture can feel what seems to be some living thing lifting and crawling beneath their feet, a sensation more startling than cheerful, where one is not quite certain what strange manner of creature may turn up at any minute.
 These subterranean streamE are occa- sionally found in caves that tireless teeth of wind and wave have gnawed deep into the bowels of the land. In one cavern named ''Cole's" quite river has been found, whose exit is unknown, whose source is unguessed-that flows quietly on through a great distance in darkness to the sea.-D. William F. Hutchinson in American Magazine.

Money Saved by Sanitation.

Medical men have long been familiar with the fact that sanitation has been saving to the community at large in doctors bills, in nursing and even in days of labor to the industrial classes. But it has been difficult to put results into figures, so as to impress the public mind. Mr. Brudenell Carter attempted this in his inaugural address to the Col lege of State Medicine. Every case of fever. he calculated, cost the community $10. The reduction in the annual death rate from fever to ASA per million from the 1851 60 rate of 90S per million rep resented a total saving of $1,500,00 ''but of this no one seemed conscious;" while the annual cost of scarlet fever at the present time was 5000, ,000 year. If, therefore we could trace scarlet fever to definite cause, as a bovine disease communicable by milk, we could adopt precautions which would save the coun- try every year somewhere about half as much money as the recent conversion of stocks, nesides much misery" Here is new light upon disease. It is increas- ingly preventable, and as we reduce it's virulence and range we save money Pail Mall Gazette.

Behind Tumbez are the petroleum de- posits of Peru, which have been known to the natives ever since the times of the Incas, but they were ignorant of the character or value of the oil A Yankee by the name of Larkin, from western New York, went down there to sell kero- sene, and recognized in the material which the Indians used for lubricating and coloring purposes the same article he was peddling. Attempts have been made to utilize the deposits, which are very extensive, but so far they have not been successful in producing burning fluid that is either safe or agreeable.-Wm.

Lack of Facial Symmetry.

The two sides of the face are not alike. As a rule, says German professor, the want of symmetry is confined to the upper part of the face. The left half of the brain overweighs the right half; the nose leans a little to the right or to the left. The region of the right eye is usu ally slightly higher than that of the left eye, while the left eye is nearer the mid dle line of the countenance. The right ear is also higher, as a rule, than the left CI,ioooro Ha1ol1

In a Morocco Bakeshop.

! In going through the city to the Jews quarters 1 stopped at an Arab bakeshop, where l saw a pleasant looking chap, hoping I should get an invitation to visit his establishment, but as it did not come, invited myself and walked in. The wheat is ground by hand between two flat stones, and sometimes when a mother is grinding she will amuse and ntilize her child by seating him on the top stone, giving him ride and increasing the milling power at the same time.
 The Moorish oven is big mud room perhaps twenty feet square by six high, and the loaves, shaped something like an apoplectic mince pie, are ranged on both sides of this room, fire of palm branches and bamboo then being built on the floor between the rows of bread. This fire is fed constantly by a boy standing at the entrance with an arrangement something like Fremont Temple contribution box, on which he places the fuel for the near est fires, but the farthest he feeds by talk ing an armful of stuff, rushing into the oven and throwing it upon the heap. The bread from this practice has min gled taste of smoke and fried Moor, which is perhaps more healthy and strengthening than agreeable to the un, cultivated taste.-Morocco Cor. Boston Transcript.
