The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1891-02-21

Reader, Augusta-It is said that tobac-
CO was discovered by Columbus in st.
Domingo, in 1892.
&c. c., Cleveland-Car wheels are
sometimes filed in with paper-the hub
and rim being of steel.
Jay, Marign-When walking with q
lady gentleman always lifts his hat to q
person that lifts his hat to her.
L. NJ, St. Loujs-If you have a good
voice you can afford to treat with silent
contempt, the envious remarks of a riv-
al singer.
E. B. D., Chicago-A married woman
has no business trying to earn little
money while her husband is at home,
unless he is worthless.
Melanie, st. Louis, asks: How can a
young lady gain the good will of young
men? Answer. By being modest, neat
and unsel6sh, and by learning a great
deal while she is young.
&c. W., Minneapolis largest
stone bridge in the world is the one fin
ished in May, 1885, at Lagang, China. 1t
crosses an arm of the China Sea, is near
ly six miles long, built entirely of stone,
has 800 arches each seventy feet high.
Chinese engineers bad sole charge of it's
construction. It is the most colossal
structure ever reared by man.
D. D. D., Chicago, asks: If a woman
who has violated the rules of propriety
to such an extent that she has ceased to
be received by society, will improve her
character, and in every way lead wor
thy life, can she ever again receive the
recognition of society and become one
of its respected members? Answer. It
is usually very difficult for woman to
regain lost ground, but "society" some
times winks at a woman's misdeeds if
she be young and pretty.
T. T., Dayton, asks. Why do BARRIERS
use striped pole to advertise their
place of business? Answer. In former
times a barber united the trade of a sur
geon to his present occupation. 1t was
then customary to twist colored ribbons
around pole to symbolic the binding
of the arm previous to blood-letting.
The ribbons were gradually displaced by
painted stripes, and the emblem has
grown to be the modern trade mark Of
the BARRIERS guild the world over.
Morality, Louisville-What is to be
thought of the morality of young lady,
when she goes to barber shop on one
of the worst streets in Louisville, and
skylarks with men while waiting for her
escort to get shave? The lady in ques-
ton is Western School teacher. Does
it not seem queer that the Western
teachers should be concerned in scan
dels so frequently? Not long ago Dame
Talker" said that the wife of a barber
was caught "ballet style" with a brother
barber. She also is Western teacher.
1t is not to be wondered at that a certain
gentleman refused to allow his daughter
to teach under the present management.
The attention of the school board should
be called to the conduct of some teach
e1s. ...
Answer. The APPEAL knows nothing
about the facts in the case and has only
your unsupported statement. If you
have absolute personal knowledge ofthe
facts, and you really have the moral in
terests of the schools at heart, you should
make statement in writing to the
School Board. Sign your true name and
address to it. The APPEAL cannot under
take to publish scsndalous reports con-
corning young ladies who have hitherto
borne good regulations. Although you
send the names we feel compelled to
withhold them.
