Women and Newspapers.

Women are omnivOrous newspaper
readers. That is the reason why so
many of them find employment in writ
ing what heard newspaper man de-
nominate as ''the rot that women read. :
However. the cynical newspaper friend
was tritie dyspeptic in his judgments.
Women do read the articles that are
written with especial reference to their
tastes. but they also read the editorials
and Geographic reports from all over
the globe and the bargains in under
wear. Then they turn over the page
and pursue the advertisements from
"Wanted-an amanuensiS" down to

advice in love, matrimOny, business, etc.
not because they want an amanuenSiS Or
desire any advice in love. matrimony
or business, but because when a woman
does a thing she does it thoroughly. be
it cross-examining her husband about
the French ball or reading the daily
paper. The truth is women must read
the papers to be in touch with the af-
fairs of this busy, whirling world. The
day when a wOman's charm was in her
face alone has passed, forever. Now,
she must be able to understand the poll
teal illusions of her husbands friends,

Deep-Rooted Sycamores.

Few people are aware that the tall
ycamore trees on West Hunter street.
oetween Forsyth street and the rail-
road, Atlanta, GA, are rooted more
han twenty feet in the ground. But
they are. Long ago there was deep
cavine there running in the direction
Of the ice factory. and the houses on
the south side of the street have base
ments far below the level of the street.
Those sycamore trees were set out in
the bottom of the ravine, and when it
was filled up the trees were filled
around all the way from ten to twenty
feet high along their trunks. The
illing in did not affect their growth in
the least, and they look now as if they
had been set along the surface at the
edge of the curbstone. The Atlanta
Constitution affirms that if a mar were
to take 4 contract to dig them up by
the roots he would have a bigger job
than he contemplated. They have long
tap roots. and to the lower extremity
Of these from the surface is from TWEEN
ty-ive to thirty-tiye feet.

Stanley il Safe.

Reports from the other side of the
Atlantic indicate that Henry NJ
Stanley's lecture in Great Britain is
proving big financial failure As his
American tour. But Stanley will not
lose any money. He is nothing if not a
shrewd financier. and he entered into
no lecture contracts until the payment
of handsome sums of money have been
guaranteed by the managers. Mr..
Stanley has worn himself out. He is
essentially a cheap and vulgar man and
his methods are all of cheap and vul-
gar character. In all that he does he
has business ard the greasy dollar in
view. Wholly incapable of nobility.
vet guilty of extraordinary cunning, he
has played his prepOsterous confidence
game with amazing success. The pub
lie may be slow at detecting charlatan-
ism, but it is sure. Stanleyism is at
last played out, but not, unfortunately,
until the adventurer has profited enor-
mously by the gulli5ility of CREATION

WASHINGTON, June 4.-South Amer
lean mails received by the bureau of
American republics are full of interest
ing details of the Chilian war. The
Chilian congress convened by Balmace-
da placed absolute power in his hands.
1t has authorized him pending paciti-
cation of the country" to arrest and
transport ali persons at will, to aug
ment land and sea forces, TO expend
public revenues without regard to es-
Inmates, procure money by pledging
credit, and to suspend the right of
meeting and liberty of the press.
In pursuance of these powers Balma-
ceda has released four prominent citi-
zens, suspected of sympathy with the
revolutionists, from prison, on payment
of $50, 900 each, conditioned on their
exile in Europe. Ten or twelve others
have been released on similar terms,
their bonds ranging from $4,000 to s5O,-
600.
The United States minister, Hon.
Patrick Egan. and all members of
the diplomatic corps, attended the
opening of Balmaceda's congress ex-
cept the German and Italian ministers.
The British, French, German and Ital-
ian governments have protested against
closing to commerce the ports now held
by the insurgents. Famine prices were
said to be prevailing at Iquique. Meat
was selling at 20 cents per pound, pota-
toes $40 per bag, and flour $50 per bag.

To Remove Superfiuous Hair.

Devlatories are very dangerous RENE
dies unless kept in the hands of very
careful persons. They are liable to not
only take off the offending hair, but
also the skin as we'll and leave ugly sores
to heal and form scars. The Turkish
women are said to be very proficient in
the use of depilatories, as they have no
hair on their bodies. with the exception
of the head. Nearly all forms of depila-
tories depend upon some of sulphides of
the alkaline earths.
Probably the safest among the effective
ones is made from the ordinary quick
lime 1t should be Stacked with two
parts of water and then saturated with
freshly made sulphureted hydrogen.
This mixture must be used few days
after it is made Care must always be
taken TO see that the paste does not
cover more surface than it is necessary
to free from hair. 1t is also a wise pre-
caution to spread but small space at
time and when this is deprived of hair
treat fresh portion of the surface.

New Occupations for Women.

The puIllc is so accustomed nowadays
to seeing women do odd things toward
widening their sphere" that surprise
and comment regarding new attain
ments have almost ceased. However,
one occasionally still hears of women
who make money in such a practical
and original and at the same time
womanly way that their work seems es-
pecially worth mention. This is true
of two New York ladies who are making
asplendd success as professional house
cleaners They take entire charge of a
house, bring with them a number of
well selected assistants, who clean the
paint and windows, sweep take up,
clean and put down carpets, and do all
the other work required. People clos
ing their houses for a season employ
them to arrange things preparatory TO
their leaving, and those coming back
have them put things in order for their
arrival Then there is bright young
English girl who has thought of the
novel plan of becoming accountant and
auditor of large families, and she finds
many who would much rather pay well
for having their household finances
looked after than have the trouble them
selves To dependent and despairing
women here, there, and everywhere,
these ways of earning living may help
suggest a means out of unhappy circum-
stances or financial difficulties.
