and taking long walks in the sun

necessary this is for good complex

mountains and breathe freely.
I would secure the best education.
Go to college, by all means, if it is
possible. A woman, in these days, if
she would be attractive as well as
useful, must be intelligent. Edu-
Gated men need educated wives.
Children need educated mothers.
Women themselves need broad edu-
cation, lest their thoughts become
centered in clothes or in the small
round of society gossip which belit-
ties. Read good books and thereby
become intelligent.
I would cultivate cheerfulness.
Discomfort soon shows itself in the
face. If you have some disappoint
ments, so do others. If you are
cramped for money, be thankful that
your lot is no worse than it is. Learn
to make the best of things. An un-
happy woman is perpetual cloud in
home. A fretful girl has few

Men that Women Abhor.

The chivalrc gentleman never
boasts Of his popularity with the
ladies, but the coxcOmb has the in
effable meannesS to brag Of favors
that he never has received, and that
he is an object Of admiration in quar-
ters where he is regarded as a nuis-
ance. Now and then one Of these
pretenders gets horsewhipping from
the indignant brother or lover or hus-
band of some lady whose taste as we'll
as character he has libeled, but many
of the tribe-mOre's the pity-gO I'M
whipped Of justice. We recently
heard of one Of the genus who is in
the habit Of procuring the cartes de
visite Of ladies at Photographic estab-
lshments for the purpose Of exhibit
ing them to his male acquaintance
as portraits sent to him by the fas-
cinated originals. There are some
Witnesses which can only be reached
and adequately punished by the right
arm Of a private avenger, and this is,
we think, one Of them. Only fools
Of the lowest caliber seek popularity
in this way. All women, without
exception. abhor such men.-New

Killed by AlbatroSSes.

During the passage Of Nova Scotia
bark which is now in Liverpool a
most extraordinary affair is reported
to have occurred, showing alike the
ferociOuS and dangerous prOcliyities
of the albatross. The bark had just
got out Of the latitude where rough
weather is always encountered, states
the Pail Mall Gazette, and was sail
ing with a fair wind, when the CRY of
Man Overheard" was sounded
throughout the ship. The unfortunate
fellow was Dane, one Of the crew,
and he was seen at a short distance
breasting the waves. The bark was
brought round, answering her helm
instantly. and the vessel was soon on
her way to the struggling man. Sud
denly two large albatrOSSeS were seen
to descend with an eagle-like swOOp
and attack the poor fellow in a ter
rible manner. Both birds dashed at
him. and to those on board the YES
sci it seemed as if they were endeay-
oring to g0uge out his eyes with their
hooked bills. while with their wings
they kept beating the unfortunate
man about the head. The sight was
2 terrible one, but did not last long,
as the bark sailed over the course
where the Dane had fallen overheard
about seven minutes before, but he
was nowhere to be seen. There was
no doubt in the minds Of those on
board that the poor fellow was killed
by the albatrosses, as he was q pow
erful swimmer and seemed to fight
desperately for few moments with
the ferOciouS birds.

And then Kitty deemed it fitting
opportunity to cOntfde to her mother
her own engagement to one Mr.. Mich
Olas Allen. Under other circum-
stances, Mrs. Kipson would probably
have pleaded that the swain was too
young or too old, too this or too that.
But in the new sunshine that had
streamed into her life Mrs. KipsOn
saw everything couleur de rose. And
she kissed Kitty, and hoped she would
be happy.
Mrs. Kipson was married the first
of the two. She wouldn't have con-
sented, only Mr., Ross suggested that
it would be such a fine plan to have
kitty's wedding from the Ross house.
And" said Kitty, "if anything
could make me more glad than I am
now, it would be seeing my dear little
mother so happy"

Little Sarcastic Jokelet.
In a recent issue the Scientific
American drops into humor. The
artificial production of rain has given
it an opportunity to crack joke in a
pictorial way which is worthy the best
efforts of Puck or Judge. The sub
ject of this self-evident sketch is a
certain Mr.. Daniel Ruggles, of Fred
ericksburg, Va, who secured patent
some eleven years ago on rain
making machine, and the Scientific
American warns Senator Farwell and
his fellow moisture precipitators that
they are infringing on Mr.. Daniel
Ruggles patent.

American, represents an individual
in the act of bringing down the rain"

WASHINGTON, January Ex-senator In.
galls's speech in the Senate was great ef-
fort, and received attention from Senators
and the public as unusual as 1t must have
been gratifying to the orator. But 1t ia
chiefly from an oratorical point that 1t was
admirable to the ears of Republicans. 1t was
brilliant, specious and forcible arraying of
whatever can be said in favor of the free
coinage of silver, and will undoubtedly be
found more damaging to the cause of sound
currency than the combined efforts of all
the other silver Senators. Mr.. Ingalls's
brilliant and entertaining speech of today
will be read, enjoyed and believed by thou
sands who will be impatient at the sound,
thorough, laborious and honest but less at
tractive effort made yesterday by John Sher-
man. 1t was generally understood today
that "lngalls was talking for Kansas" and
this means that he was talking for favor
with the sentiment just now dominant in
that state and in the legislature which Is
about to elect his successor. The speech
was. certainly q. powerful one. but 1t is
doubtful ii. it will enable Mr.. Ingalls, to sue
eeed himself. Its effect, too, upon the Re-
publican party must be bad. 1t Is break
by one of its leading men in favor of poll.
cy that the mass of the party cannot endorse
1t is expected that an abortive effort will be
made to take up the elections bill following
the financial bill. but there is little expecta-
tlOn of its success.
The Evening Star says the elections bill is
expected to be antagoniZed by Mr.. Platt
with the copyright bill, Mr.. Paddock With
the pure food bill, MIR. Hale with the appor-
tionment bill, and by others with other
measures.
Wilbur f. Lunt has been here today.
IL is regarded as certain here that he will
be appointed to the place on the board of
Unitrd States customs appraisers. and that
the app0intnent will be made very soon.
