Comfort for HOmelY Girls.

How did that homely woman contrive
to get married?" is not infrequently re-
marked of some good domestic creature
whom her husband regards as the apple
of his eye, and in whose plain face he
sees something better than beauty.
Pretty girls who are vain of their
charms are rather prone to make obser-
vations of this kind, and consciousness
of the fact that flowers of loveliness are
often left to pine on the stem, while
weeds of homelihess 60 off readily, is.
no doubt, in many cases at the bottom
of the sneering question.
The truth is that most men prefer
homeiness and amiability to beauty
and caprice, explains a writer in the
New York Ledger Handsome women
are sometimes very hard to please
They are apt to overvalue themselves,
and, in waiting for an immense bid,
are occasionally "left on the market.
The plain sisters, on the contrary, aware
of their personal DEFICIENCIES, generally
lay themselves out to produce an agree
able impression, and in most instances
succeed They don't aspire to capture
paragons with princely fortunes, but
are willing to take anything respectable
and Noteworthy that Providence may
throw in their way. ......... ...... ....
The rock ahead of your naughty Junos
and coquettish Hebes is fastidousness
They reject and reject until nobody
cares to WOO them. Men don't like to
be snubbed nor to be trifed with-a les
son that thousands of pretty women
learn too late. Mrs. Hannah More, a
very excellent and pious person, who
knew whereof she wrote, recommends
every unmarried sister to accept the
first good, sensible Christian lover who
falls in her way. But ladies whose mir
rors. aided by the glamour of vanity,
assure them they were born for con-
quest, pay no heed to this sort of advice.
1t is a noteworthy fact that homely
girls generally get better husbands than
fall to the lot Of their fairer sisters.
Men who are caught merely by pretty
face and figure do not, as a rule, amount
to much. The practical, useful, thought
full portion of mankind is wisely con-
tent with unpretending excellence.

interesting it is. You need not go out.

this. Just place pan of water on the
window sill, when the temperature is
below the freezing point, and you will
soon see something that can not fail to
interest you. If you happen to have

the better, for the magnifying power

Anyway, as you closely watch the

tiny little lances. very beautiful when
seen under the microscope, shooting
hither and thither ON the surface of the
water. If it is cold enough to make ice
in the sunlight the crystal lances will
glow with all the colors Of the rainbow,
and as they dart about the rapid changes
of color will remind you of the Won
ders of the Kaleidoscope. AS the water
continues to chill the little lances come
together and then smaller and still more
delicate crystals will be seen forming
between the lance, and welding them
together This process goes on until the
surface is covered with beautiful film
of ice hardly strong enough to bear the
weight of a mo, qato. But the process
goes on under this superficial layer and
a smooth and solid surface is the result.
Water is affected by changes of
temperature differently from all other
liquids. 1t seems to be natural law
for all liquids to expand in proportion
to their increase in temperature, but
there is strange exception to the rule
in the case of water. For example,
take quantity of water when exactly
at the freezing point, 80 degrees above
zero, and place it over fire. AS the
temperature rises the volume will con-
tract, contrary to the rule, until the
water is about seven degrees warmer

there is sudden change. Contraction
ceases, expansion begins and the volume
increases until the water is converted

ETHER pnuSKAkps IN IRELAND.
They Can Get Tipsy Six Times In Twenty
four Hours


More than two tons Of ether are car
rird away every year on the railways in
one district in the north of Ireland.
The headquarters of ether drinking is
DraI estown. A population of 100000
persons is more OF less etheromanlac.
On market and fair days, wherever
there is crowd, the atmosphere reeks
with fumes of ether. DIR. Kerr says
that the smell is overpowering, nauseat-
ing, and loathsome. Persons of both
sexes and of all ages have become slaves
to this degrading and intractable dis
ease. Women drink as much as men.
One great advantage of ether from the
point of view of the etheromaniac is this:
you can get drunk and get sober again
SO much more rapidly.
The drinkers of ether can get intoxi-
Gated and regain sobriety before the
drinker of alcohol has really become
properly intoxicated. l have known an
alcoholist get thoroughly drunk i'll "a
hours, though this rarely happens, but
le educated etherist can, at a. pinch,
get drunk and sober again six times in
the same space of time. l have seen
man sober as a, judge at noon, often
sively drunk on ether in 25 minutes, and
as sober as before by quarter past one
o'clock. The phases of an ether out
break eau all be exhibited in even less
time. The rapidity with which the phe-
nomena pass before the vision is truly
astounding. The inexperienced can be
drunk and sober again before he has any
idea of being drunk. ''..- '.'.
At first it seems to produce very little
serious effect, but if persisted in it brings
orders. Chronic and distressing infiam-
nation of the stomach, Impairment of
the digestive functions, trembling,
melancholy and suspicious, lividity,
GOODNESS, and intermittent pulse, with
persistent wasting, have not infrequently
been the penalties paid by the excessive
ether taker. DR.. Kerr says he has seen
an etheromaniac at 41 a weakened, bent,
decrepit old man. There have already
been nearly a dozen fatal cases, perhaps
more. The most terrible influence of
ether INDULGENCE is, however, on the
morale. The ether inebriate, with
morbid and overgrowing craving for
larger doses of the deadly drug, which
he hates but must devour, sinks into
loathsomencss of falsehood, deceit, aud
cunning.
You can get drunk with ether for
fourpence, but when you are seasoned
vessel it costs you us much as shilling.
DR. Kerr proposes that naptha should be
added to cher as it is now aided to
methylated spirits from which the ether
is extracted. He would abolish the re.
tail trade in etner and contine the sale
to druggists, who would be compelled
to register the name and address of the
purchaser, and the object for which the
ether is applied. In every other way
he would do his utmost to stamp out the
nefarious and pesliferous traffic. ~ New
York Herald. ".. ''r. ''..r. '

English In Australia.

OF all the countries which have been
originally settled as offshoots of Great
Britain it has the population which is
most exclusively British. No other
European nation has ever held any part
of it, nor has the drift of continental
emigration been directed to it's shores.
No weaker race has got, or, as shall
have to show later, is likely to get, such
a footing there as will enable it to con-
fuse the forms of national growth.
Australia is more Anglo-Saxon than the
United States, with their negro millions
and their steady inflow of continental
emigrants;. more Anglo-Saxon than
Canada, with its considerable fraction of
French population; than South Africa,
with its Dutch Beers and native races;
than any country save Great Britain
itself. Under the sunny skies of the
Southern hemisphere an almost purely
British stock has a continent to itself as
an untitled sheet on which to write the
hist 'ry of its development Il From the

A Medical Looking Man Explains.

Frankford car yesterday, on Koch's
statement about his lymph: at wasn't
for laymen, but it can be made clear
enough. Let us suppose that the bacil-
lus is but small mosquito; that it stings
the flesh and injects virus. Now,
Koch takes the mosquito, kills it, ex-
tracts the virus, dilutes it-for it is more
powerful than the strongest drug known
and then preserves it in glyceriue.
