woMAN's DANGEROUS AGE.

Most Fascinating at Thirty Because She
Uses Her Brains Then.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Balzac has said that woman of thirty is at
her most fascinating and dangerous age, and 1t
is indeed true that all the women famous for
power over the hearts of men, from Cleopatra
and Helen down, were nearer forty than twenty
when at the zenith Of their power. Perhaps the
secret lies in the fact that the woman of twenty
must be pleased, while the woman of forty tries
to please. and the older woman's power consists
not, as has been so often said, in understanding
and making the most of her own charms, but in
comprehending and with happy tact calling out
and making the most of the good qualities of
the man whose favor she seeks. man ad-
mires clever woman, but he enjoys himself
better with woman who makes him feel that
he is clever He likes being entertained for a
little while by a well-informed woman, but he
enjoys much better the happy tact which makes
him believe that he is entertaining the we'll
informed woman and telling her great many
things that she never dreamed Of And the
woman man likes best is not always the one
who is most brilliant, but the one who has the
happy knack of discovering the subject he talks
best on and is well enough Informed to listen
inteligently.

SIavonic Customs.

Chamberss Journal.
1t is customary in Polish villages to strew
straw over the Christmas Eve supper tables,
and for the young people, blindfold or in the
dark, to pick out each a straw therefrOm,
Should the straw be green, the lucky maiden
expects to wear bridal wreath or the'youth to
lead a blushing bride to the altar during the ap-
preaching year; but dried straw foretells to
either long waiting, possibly even until death.
In other rural Polish districts, on the "Christ's
Eve" wine, beer, and water are placed by a
girl between two candles on a table. She then
retires into corner or an adjoining room to
watch the result reflected in mirror hung for
this purpose. If, as the clock strikes midnight,
a man enters and drinks the wine, she is happy,
for her wooer will be rich. Should he drink
the beer, she may be content, for the wooer will
be ''well-to do.' If the water be chosen, her
husband will be very poor. But if, as the clock
strikes, no man comes to her table, the anxious
maiden shVers with more than midnight terror,
believing that she is doomed to be early the
bride of Death.
Poland is peculiarly rich In these obserVances,
spreading themselves throughout the year, both
sexes being equally superstitious in this respect
On New Years Eve the young unmarried men
place themselves before fire, and, bending
! down, look beneath their legs Should q
/ woman appear in the background, it is the one
! they will marry; but if they see shape as of &
! coffin it forehodes for them death during the
| year close at hand.

WOMEN IN POLITICS.
How They Attempted to Run Things in the

How They Attempted to Run Things in the
Time of Charles the First.
Illustrated News.
1t is curious that the meddlng (as the scorn-
ers put it, of women with politics should be so
generally considered to be a novelty. In the
reign of Charles there were petitions to Parlia-
ment and no wonder y from quite unusual
quarters, from the porters (signed by l5,0OO)
from the apprentices, and even from the beg
gars, but that from the women was far the most
notable. Five thousand of them, 'with white
ribbons in their hats" and headed by brewers
wife, went on one occasion to the door "of the
House, with a petition for peace The legisla-
tors, reasonably alarmed, returned an immedi-
ate an conciliatory answer
"The House." they said, ''was no enemy to
peace, and doubted not to comply with their re-
quest;' in the mean time they 'besought them
to return TO their haDitations"-not by any
means those of the Primrose League. This did
not at all suffice, so the tran-bands were called
out and fired upon the ladies. "Pooh, they
said "its nothing but powder" and replied to
the yolley with brick bats, whereupon the troops
had the want of gallantry to load in earnest.
"They are firing ball; we are off ~ was the nat
ural rejonder, but not before several were slain.

a veracious Narrative of Fish's Great
Swim.
Chicago Post.
Boswell had been relating, with perhaps bit
Of enthusiasm, to a group in the rotunda Of
the Palmer House, some of the swimming feats
of Capt Paul Boyton.
II have no doubt they were marvels of hui
man endurance" said the doctor. "And they
remind me of a swim, which for length is ahead
of all records. 1t was net done by q man,
however, but by fish.
You remember that in my early days l went
on a whaling voyage to the Arctic Ocean off
the coast of Greenland. While fishing one
calm day caught cod. AS he was so much
smaller than the rest l took him off my hook
determined to throw him back to give him a
chance 10 grow. And in order to give him
luck l cruelty thrust a new one-cent piece Of
the coinage Of 1851 down his throat l then
flung him into the ocean.
"Eive years later, while fishing in the harbor
of Sitka-you remember, Boswell, my telling
you | once spent a summer in Alaska-I caught
mess Of fish, among them large cod.
II thought nothing Oft until my cook brought
me q One-Cent piece which be had found in the
stomach of the cod. | looked at it, and on it
was the date lS5l-the very same cent, l know,
because Of It's having in its back hole which
had intended to drill through TO wear the cent
around my neck as q lucky piece. 1t showed
plainly that the fish had sWum from Greenland
south, either around Cape Horn or Good Hope
and up the Pacific TO Alaska. 4 swim which,
as / said, for length has no known equal.
"SOme Of you may doubt my statement" the
doctor, noting a dubious look In the faces of one
or two of his listeners, added. ''Perhaps this
will satisfy you" From his pOcketbOok the
doctor took a one-cent piece and handed it
around. On it was the date, 1851" and the
partly drilled hole in the back. Thereupon the
dubious look entirely disappeared and the doc
tor was invited to partake of the compliments
of the evening.

How to Cure a Cold.

From the Boston Herald.
The season is at hand when 'colds'' are likely
to be prevalent, much more so than when after
cold weather has fairly set in and thick clothing
is worn continuously. Ii is we'll for people to
know of some simple treatment which will gem
orally abort these attacks. AS soon as chilly
sensations are felt, the cold affects the head,
and there is sore throat, the victim should go
home at once. With his feet in hot mustard
water, he should take an oldfashioned rum
sweat This is very easily administered. Into
an old teacup pour three or four tabespoonfuls
OF alcohol. Set 1T in a pan of water. Now
place 1t under chair having a wooden seat.
Let the patient sit upon this; fasten couple of
blankets around his neck, allowing them to fall
to the floor, then light the alcohol. This treat
ment is by no means hard TO bear. As soon as
the skin becomes moist the headache is gener-
ally relieved and breathing through the nose is
easier; in fact, all the unpleasant symptoms are
more or less relieved. The patient should sweat
as long as he will; then after wiping hastily and
putting on well-warmed undeyest, he should
get into bed and be well covered with blankets
! He should continue to sweat freely during the
| night. Sometimes he will not do this even after
! the application of the treatment advised. If he
| does not he should be given ten grains of qu-
nine. If for a day or two afterward he eats aud
drinks but little and keeps within doors the
chances are that he will have abOrted his cold.

Views on Anmsthetics.

PIttsburg Dispatch.
DR.. Horatio Wood shows by charts and the
results Of experiments that, contrary TO the
general belief, chloroform kills by paralyzlng
the respiration as well as the heart, and that
ether kills by paralyzing the heart before respi-
ration has ceased. lie regards nitrous oxide as
the safest angsthetic-only one death having
occurred out of 10000 administrations. Ether
is probably safer than chloroform in the ratio
of / to 3 or l to 3, and the best method of ad-
ministering it is to use the inhaler made of
cloth stretched across the wire frame, which is
surrounded by rubber or leather. Plenty of
fresh air should be mixed with the ether.
Chloroform is probably more fatal on account
of its greater specific gravity. 1t lies in the
lungs and mixes slowly with the air, completely
poisoning nerve centres before oxygen can gain
admission TO the blood. 1t is less dangerous in
hot climates, where it is more readily Volatil-
lzed. Ether is more volatile and therefore less
dangerous.

It is easy TO understand why the work
Of the Dover Convention Was so harmon
iously, quickly and easily done II was
goverRed BY the right spirit, by jus.
tice, fairness and good Judgment.
All OF the traditions and the time hon.
ored usages Of the Democratic party
have been respected and the nomina-
lions have been left to the choices Of the
people, to whom by tradition and usage
they properly belong.
The people of Kent and the people Of
Sussex have made their respective
choices ard their candidates have been
approved by the general convention. The
people have spoken and we have their
choice ia two peoples candidates
Both Robert :. Reynolds and John w.
Csusey are the peoples candidates, The
Democrats have selected tho best
pair OF "hustlers" ia the party and
withal two OF the best, bravest, pluckest
and most determined men in the party,
They are both hard fighters and they are
prepared to assist IN the hardest fight
the Democrats have had 80 make since
1882. The Republicans viii be IN the
eight with Doodle, With pensions. with
promises Of Federal offlce and with all
the influences, deesptions and seductions
for the ignorant and vensl blacks and
the venal ard vicious white men foi
which the party is notorious. They
intend to make a hard fight, mean fight
and one that will require energy, &C
tivity and untiring vigilance to with
stand
The Democrats have studied the situa-
tion carefully, and nominated candidates
who viii add the strength of persona
worth and personal popularity to tn,
principles Of the party which are dear t.
the people OF Delaware. The reason the
approval Of the candidates is 20 unani-
nous Is that the convention has done
the right. the just, the proper, and til,
best thing There is nothing stronger
than justice and right.

Better. You know just
