How O.d is an Old Maid?

When does q maiden become
an old maid? All, there's the
rub! If somebody will deter.
mine this point the social world
will feel a shock of relief and
then go whirling on more
smoothly than ever. You who
have never been old maids, and
never will be, have no idea OF
the worry a certain class OF
women endure. AS they ap-
proach the thirty-year-old period
they begin to get nervous and
show signs of impatience. They
will not admit that they are
scared, but their eagerness to
attract attention and the earn
estness with which they discuss
matrimonial and kindred topics
/ it is quite apparent that they are
merely whistling to keep their
courage up. If they only knew
that worry and anxiety bring
wrinkles, irritate the nerves and
disturb the circulation, they
would try to be calm. Nervous
ness ages them more than hard
work, while disturbed circula-
tion is a sure destroyer of good
complexion. 1t used to be
thought that a girl had lost her
best opportunities if she were
not married before reaching the
age of twenty-one, but that
notion has been effectually up
set. She may sail along safely
until she is thirty, and if she
doesn't fret and worry herself
into a fright, she can even go
several years longer without
being branded with the obnoxi-
Gus letters, o. VI. There are old
maids who haven't seen twenty
summers, and there are maidens
who have seen forty winters
who are not old maids. 1t is a
condition of heart and mind
rather than a question of years.
The records show that a very
large majority of American
women marry between the ages
of twenty and thirty, with more
over the latter age than under
the former. With foreigners it
is different. The women marry
anywhere from fourteen to
twenty. Hungarians and Pole.
are given to early marriages.
Old men marry young bits of
girls, but old women rarely
young men. The Hungarian
laborer wants a wife to help
him make u living, and he
wants her to be strong and
healthy. Their wives know what
is expected of them, and assume
the burdens of wifehood with
feelings of one entering upon a
servitude. Ameri :an women
look upon it as the beginning of
the best and most enjoyable
part Of life.

The Republican argument is that the tar
if has nothing to do with prices. One year
ago 1Oc was paid for granulated sugar, this
year the people will get the same sugar for
about Sc. This low price is brought about
by the]tariff being taken off or lowered on
some kinds of sugar, which knocks the Re-
publican idea into Rocked hat. The peo-
pie are beginning to realize that high tariff
is robbery, and that the Democratic idea is
right-that is, that low tariff cheapens the
necessaries of life and makes the wages Of
the laborer better and steadier.

If THE statement in the annual report of
the U. s. Commissioner of Labor that the
cost of producing a ton of steel rails is less
in America than England and other Euro
pean countries be true, and we have no reas-
on for believieng it otherwise, the only OBJ
ject attained by putting a high tariff upon
steel rails is to increase the profits of the
American manufacturer of them. If we can
produce them as cheap or cheaper than any
other country why shouldn't we compete with
the rest of the world by striking them from
the list of 80 called protected articles?

Life of General Sherman

No literary announcement of the year is OF
greater interest to the general public than
that of comprehensive life of General Sher-
man, which is about to be published and sold
through agents by the noted house of Hub
bard Brothers, of Philadelphia. Admirable
biographies of Grant and Sheridan, complete
to the time of their death, are already famil-
lar to the public, but life of the third great
commander, to finish the series, has been
lacking. The various biographies of Sher'
man hitherto published have necessarily been
incomplete; and even his own memoirs, writ.
ten in 1875, said almost nothing of his in.
tensely interesting early life, and not word
of course, of the more than twenty years OF
social activity and fraternity with old com.
rades since the war.
The work which is now to be issued will
splendidly supply the widely felt demand fol
history of the great strategic commander
1t is being written by General y. D. How.
ard, man of fine literary attainments. who
knew Sherman better than any other of his
comrades now living and ranked but mex
one to him in the army, and by Willis Fletch
er johnson, whose ability as historian is
familiar to the reading public of Americt
through his former unusually popular works
which have had millions of readers, and thu
sales of their vast editions enriched an army
of book agents. That this history of Sher,
man, the last of the great Generals, will sur
| pass all others in popularity is not to b.
doubted.
The story of this great Generals career il
of marvellous march from the mountains
of time to the sea of eternity. Of the thre,
great war heroes, Sherman was by far tn,
most interesting personality. He was the bes
known to the public and the best loved fo
his genial disposition and warm sympath!
with the popular heart. He has Joined hi
illustrious compeers in the eternal bivouac o
the dead. His is life to study-to emulat,
and is profund inspiration. The forth
coming volume will tell the whole story O
his marvellous career, and from the author
ship engaged upon it, we are assured it will
be told in way that will enthral the atten
ton and interest of every reader from first Il
last. 1t is book every American will wan
and one every American youth should read
1t will doubtless be the best life of the grea
chieftain published, and we predict for i
| wonderful Dopularity.

THE Republicans have an argument now
that ought to convince any man of common
sense on the tariff question. They claim that
2he tariff is not put on to raise the price of
any article. Then, of course, we must come

an ornament only. In fact the Republican
party is only an ornament.
