OUR GIRLS.

By this is meant Sedalis girls in
particular not because they are worse
than other girls, but because they are
"ours" and it does appear as if they
needed better control than is some
times given them. 1t is a common
thing to refer to sour boys" and coun-
Gil parents to keep them at home after
night fall, at least, but nobody seems
to think that Sour girls" are laying a
foundation for lsziness, disobedience
and perhaps viciousness when they are
permitted to be on the street at all
hours of the day. There are certain
girls, not always the children of hum
BILE people either, who are never missed
from the street and sometime wonder
arises as to their home duties. Is
there no domestic life in their homes
which of right, a portion belongs to
them? Are there no burthens to be
moved from the mothers tired
shoulders, no enconcmy which they
can help put into practice, no duties
which will enable them to some da y
be queens in their sw homes What
man, with grain of common sense
would care to select a wife who daily
goes upon dress parade for the benefit
of ogling loafers, and no less repre-
hensible professional Washers. "Our
girls" should remember this and keep
the sweet freshness of their lives by as
much of home life as it is possible, for
after all say what we may of the
society woman, the woman who stands
upon the rsstrum, the woman who
goes into the world as a reformer, it is
the dear home woman who brings
with her a rest, a solace which is the
next to heaven on this earth and which
leads to heaven Just as surely as the
sparks fly upward.

DEAD BECAUSE DECEIVED.

! Mrs. Flick the wife of the notori
Gus Sheriff Flack of New York, il
dead and it is said her death wa
directly due to the shock of discover
ing that her husband had procured a
fraudulent divorce from her.
1t was then the cruel act of hus
band which caused the poor woman's
death; the deliberately planned
method by which the man she loved
AID who had promised on Gods altar
to protect and cherish her had e.
deavored to break the bond which
united them. He killed her just as
much as if he had sized a revolver
and shot her to death.
Of course no law can touch the
murderer-no lsw but the torturing
pangs of conscience which will some
day, it not at present, rise from the
grave in which it has been hidden
and like a nightmare will not down.
1t is easy to imagine how such de.
ception can kill woman. A woman
never loves with her head, it is always
her heart, and jewels, nor wealth nor
fame have ever yet bought that
love; she simply loves not because
there is any reason for it, not because
it is wi Sc, not for any excuse under
heavens dome, but love she does, and
when the object of her love decieves
her, she either goes straight to perdi-
ton, to a convent, or to cath.
When she goes to psrdition, be
sure others will go with her; be sue
she has had her revenge, be sure she
has ma lie the one mans wrong the
score for innumerable wrongs.
When she goes to convent, she is
aS ocfOUI do TIC LlOSl uSfOut, dHN
perchauce she wearies Heaven with
her prayers before she gets The peace
she Graves.
When she dies-she dies as the
martyr dies with the beat of bro
ken heart sounding her requiem, and
yet there are people who smile in
diligently when m MS injustice TO a
woman is mentioned and ia this
prosaic age the sheer of scorn at her
misfortune is far more ready than the
vninn ef pity
At the same time the poor wife of
the New York sheriff is much more to
be envied than the man who drove
her to her death, for remorse, that
tooth of despair, must be his portion,
while she-God grant she rests at
peace forever and aye.

A SWEET VOICE.

Men talk and write a great deal
about woman's pretty hand. They
compare it to the whi,eness of lily,
to the persuasive sOftness of rose, to
the shapeliness of something wrought
of fine, pure marble by the Italian
masters.
They speak of her beautiful hair,
how that it is golden like unto the
sunbeams that simmer down from
the pale-tinted evening sky ; or yet
like the dark wing of a bird, its
glossy glimpses enhancing to be-
hold.
They sing of her eyes, black and
bright as an Andalusian lady's in far
away Spain, or yet blue as the violets
are blue when the first breath of
April kisses their velvet cheeks into
glowing again.
They pirate of her pretty feet,
dainty as Gnderella's in the olden
legend, and fit to tread only where
the fairies dance under the enchant-
nent of the pale moon iu palace halls
ofheavenly workmanship.
But supremely above and beyond
all these is a soft, gentle, exquisite
voice in woman. She may be homely
of features and scant of other attrac.
items, but if from her lips fall the
honeyed syllables of soft speech, they
atone for almost any other deficiency.
To the lover leaning intently to
listen, the tones of her pretty voice
are sweeter than the exquisite murmur
of silver waves on a summer beach.
To the husband, after a day of
labor and fretting, the gentle
speech of a wife is more
soothing to his soul than the notes
of reed played by the good god,
Pan, down in the shadowy haunts of
the woodland.
To the old man, the SHOWS of many
winters drifted deep above his wrink-
led brows, the voice of his equally
aged wife, not yet harsh because of
the passing of many years, is holier
than the tones of dreams out of the
deep recesses of the land of seep.
And when fever smites the GROW,
or one Of the myriad misfortunes of
life lay one low on couch of pain,
the sweet, caressing veice-of one we
love, cheers more thoroughly and
heals more rapidly than the
ancient art of the physician.
And yet again, when the weary
feet are dipping deep in the sym bOlic
stream we call Jordan, and the faces
of friends are fading away in the dim
shadow of death, the tender speech
of sister or daughter or mother min.
giles so swestly with the welcoming
song of angels on the other side, that
we hardly know which are the voices
of the earthly ones and which of the
seraphim.

The Parker tobacco bill which has
passed the house of representatives at
Jefferson City should become a law
by all means as it will prevent the
deadly cigarette from being put in
The hands of minors. There is no
doubt whatever that to the iuceSsant
smoking of the cigarette is due the
the sickly, sappy condition of many
young boys, who should be trimming
over with health and vitality. TIE
cigarette is foe which deserves to be
conquered and without an adequate
law to protect minors, parents, who
realize its dangers are helpless.
Healthy manhood cannot be built
upon the foundation of diseased boy
hood and diseased boyhood cannot
cease while poison in the shape of the
cigarette subtly undermines the con-
stitution as well as morals.

AN ORIGINAL IDEA.

A Little Country Paper Adopts a Scheme
to Rid the Street Corners of Loafers.
For quantity expressed and oddly con-
ceived ideas, perhaps the little country
paper is the best illustration of perfect
innocence and freedom of thought.
This is, of course, partly due to the
fact that the more important and wide
spread the effect of a saying or state
ment, the more conservative and care
fully chosen the words; and, of course,
the more unrestricted the mind the more
innocent and bold the expression.
For instance, certain town is greatly
annoyed by a gang of loafers who stand
about the street corners to chew, spit
and stare. The local paper took the
merchants fight up and came out with
few heavy type notices to be clipped
cut and posted in appropriate places:
''The fellows at this corner are loaf
ers and picl1pockets;" or,
"Wanted, fifty buns to insult ladies. +"
The cure was heroic, but effective,
and it is pity it cannot be tried, in
cities as well as country towns,
Then there are a few country ex-
changes that may be depended on to
produce at least once a month"; Joke
30 delightfully."- and refreshingly inno-
cent and unique that it is pity they
cannot be copied to make larger world
than country community laugh.
The trouble, however, is that the Joke
is invariably of the sort called doubtful.
There may be nothing really harmful
in it, but there turks an insinuation
that would raise beautiful howl in
city press censors and the little joke is
quietly clipped by an appreciative ex-
change editor, passed to the religious
editor for his endorsement, and after
creating a quiet chucl1le from the editor
in-chief to the Office boy, is buried with
solemn obsequies in the sepulcher of
the exchange editors scrap book, only
to see the light again, with score of
fellow jokes when the tombiis reopened
for the interment of another country
conceit. These alas, are the only jokes
that never grow old. They are never
repeated, never pirated and never cred
tied either here or elsewhere. Pitts

HOW TO eArHE.
10 Clean and in All Likelihood You VIII
be Healthy.

10 Clean aud in All Likelihood You VIII
be Healthy.
The first and common object of the
bath is cleanliness. The great import
ance of abstersion, and the necessity OF
keeping the skin clean and in its nor
NAL activity, will be more fully appre-
ciated when we consider the Importance
of the function which the skin has to
perform. One-third of all the morbid
matter in the system arising from tissue
change is thrown off through the skin,
the other two-thirds being excreted by
the kidneys and lungs.
The excretion through the skin is ac-
complished by the action of about
$500, 900 of little sweat glands. Each
of these glands is surrounded by
plexus of blood vessels, and has duct
extending to the surface, the average
| length of which is one-fourth of an inch.
The aggregate length of these ducts as
computed is about ten miles. Think of
| it. A system of human sewerage ten
miles in extent! The deleterious effect
upon the organism caused by a stoppage
of this great system of drainage will be
perceived at glance. The effete mat
ters of the body, which in state of
now endeavors to get rid of through the
kidneys and lungs.
The effect on these organs of the
great increase of functional activity
necessary to maintain the harmony be-
tween tissue waste and tissue repair
results in their disease, and the entire
system becomes deranged from the
poisonous effects of this accumulated
matter. Then, too, in health respira-
tion is carried on, in measure, through
the skin by the absorption of oxygen
and the giving off of carbonic acid thus
aiding the lungs in their interchange of
cases. in this manner direct effect is
| produced upon these organs by check
ing of the normal activity of the skin.
For purposes of cleanliness the hot
bath will be found to be of the greatest
service. Friction of the body with soap
will aid in dissolving and removing the
accumulated matter which fills the
mouths of the little ducts, and leaves
them open and free for the egress of
the natural secretions. This bath should
the tone of the skin and avoid the de-
preston which always follows pro
longed immersion in hot water. Right
here wish to say word to deprecate
the pernicious practice indulged in by
many of taking frequent hot baths
For the purpose just mentioned hot
bath is never necessary oftener than
once or, at most, twice week, pro-
vided a person takes daily tepid or
cold sponge bath, which should be in
dulged in by every one as matter of
health. Taken oftener than this, the
hot bath is enervating and depressing.
1t produces lowered state of vitality,
which not only lowers the powers OF
resistance to disease, but may actually
induce disease, by encouraging the de-
velopment of any latent abnormal con-
dition to which the person may be sub

MINING DISASTERS.
Unforeseen Conditions Which Cause Death
and Destruction.

Unforeseen Conditions Which Cause Death
and Destruction.
life insurance journal recently
called attention to the curious fact that
the perils of the sea have been diminished
one-half by the progress of science dur
ing the last ninety years, while the
death rate from mining accidents has
remained nearly the same. That con-
trast is partly explained by the sug-
gestive circumstances that many of the
worst mining disasters were due to con-
tingencies which even experts failed to
foresee and which often could not have
been averted by any precautions of
science. A case in point is the episode
of Janesville, Pa, where the drill of a
miner tapped an unknown reservoir
which in five minutes flooded the pit
with SO0 eighty thousand) gallons of
water, thus causing the death of eighteen
men and boys. During the preceding
week the Mammoth Nine" of the same
state, became the grave of 1O7 men, who
for years had worked the same colliery
in safety, daily tests having failed to
discover trace of 'fire-damp," the ex.
plosive gas which, after all, caused the
portentous disaster. On the very morn
ing of the catastrophe 'fire boss" had
visited every gallery of the mine, and
proved his confidence in the result of his
investigation by re-entering the pit an
hour before the explosion. The propri-
etors of the mine had furnished all their
employees with "safety-lamps," but the
miners themselves preferred open lights
to contrivance much less effective for
illuminating.purposes, and, indeed, by no
means infallible in the quality of an
alarm signal. The presence of fre-damp
causes the flame to burn with peculiar
blue light, but the trouble is that a
miner is too busy to watch his lamp all
the time, and in less than two minutes
the incandescence of the protecting wire
may cause an explosion. The Voice.
