SELLING THE FARM


Dear wife, think I'll sell the farm,

OH husband, be not hasty now,

Before you sign those papers there
And deed the farm away.
I've toiled and saved along with you
And many burdens bore,

Here have been called 10 mourn.
We laid our first on yonder hill,
A dear and sprightly lad,
And all the rest, yes, one by one,
Who came to MAKE us glad.

Would it be right for us to leave

tiOh Inc SoISD 10 @A'NhOIb-
In the first place, when the rates of ex-
change are very low on this side, as they
are at present, the banker sends word to
his correspondent on the other side to ship
him so many hundreds Of thousands of
dollars worth of gold, just as wholesale
importer of silk would request his agent On
the other side to ship him hundred pieces
of LYONS silk. The visit on this order Is
taken to Threadneedle street Ey the cor
respondent and the requisite amount of
the precious metal Is ordered either by
drafts or upon the presentation OF bank
of England bills for the amount. II the
gold can be secured in either fine gold bars
or In American double eagles, the trans
action, 50 far as the bank Is concerned, Is
done. But If the bank declines to part
with any of these then the demand is
made for the payment of the order or bills
in vereigns. 1t is here that some of the
complication of details come In. For,
notwithstanding the general impression
that English sovereigns are always new
and beautiful, many of those In the great
vaults which are available for shipment
are neither. for circulation wears the Eng
lish coin quite as much as 1t does ours.
So instead of receiving the number OF
soyereigns In sovereigns the demand Is
made for the old sovereigns dumped into
a big scale and weighed like so much
sugar Then when the amount Is what

AS 1T LOOKS TO WOMEN.
A Woman Physician on the Health Of
the American Girl.
FULLY ABLE TO HOLD HER OWN
Wise Words About Infants Wardrobes-
How the Little People Are Spoiled
Some Home Cures.

The health OF the American girl Is
perennial subject that flourishes like a
green bay tree. Every body can write about
IL and everybody does the result being
mass of Pecksniffian literature. What
savages do and what early peoples did are
constantly quoted. And the dark hint
goes round that the times are out OF joint
because similar conditions do not now pre-
vail.
The reign of Ignorance and superstition
Is deplored by those who ought To know
better. Because the American girl learns
the modern alphabet, her doom Is supposed
to be sealed. II is feared that man In
America will shortly be without a fitting
mate and life cease TO be delicious. Genial
and otherwise delightful specialists are
quoted and misquoted in all their trite half
truths, old books are consulted, and every
thing doleful is put into paper that could
not be bought, yet which appears. IL Is not
arranged, for it happens and is always by
man. Strange that the incongruity OF the
situation passes muster.
The study of young women by the aver
aoe practitioner Is about as valuable as
would be the study OF botany from dried
plants. Everything Is there except the
life Of the subject. This absence dis
turhs not the serenity OF the ingenious
theorist, who tells us too often that in spite
OF the invigorating influence OF inter
mingling OF race, Of favorable hygienic
possibilities In the United States, OF health
ful liberty that everywhere prevails In this
country, the American girl is by no means
what she should be physically. As saw
ing grace and novel discovery, the woman
OF civilization is drawn into the discussion
on the ground that she fails to compare ia
vorably with man in point of strength
and is thoroughly unworthy In conse-
quence.
sioThe question of any deterioration in the
American girl is quickly settled by an ap-
peal to trade, to simple dollars and cents.
The vendors of ready made garments state
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1891-12-16

that small women who formerly found q
perfect fit In styles manufactured for girls
Of sixteen are now wearing fourteen year
old sizes. Naturally these women have not
decreased In height and weight. 1t is the
American girl who is larger. Sense and
hygiene In the home during the past twen-
ty-five years have had marked results The
maiden OF today Is the outcome of this
improved and nobler way of living. Med
zeal tears may be shed for professional sins,
negligence and ofenses, but not for the
American girl, who IL likely to hold her
own for some time to come.
And now q word for the woman of civili-
xation, whose muscular fbers cause so
much anxiety. for the microscopic view OF
life tends to destroy all sense Of proportion.
Since the chief end of civilization Is to
specialize the individual, to increase power
and usefulness by training inherent quality
in order to insure variety of aptitudes in
perfected form, is IL quite rational TO fout
modern femininity with the fact that IL
differs materially from the other half OF
the worldf
Only among savages are men and women
much alike physically or In mental char
acteristics. This kind OF equality exists
under conditions wherein women perform
the most uninspiring drudgery, belong to
their last captor, have neither permanent
homes nor rights over their children, and
are literally Of no account whatever. Such
are the good old times, the late lamented
paradise of the ages known as long ago.
One of the evidences that the world Is
growing better every day is that men and
women cannot now be compared. They
have different aims, motives and point Of
view, different needs and natures requir-
ing different satisfactions Out OF this diff
ference grow wonderful possibilities of
progress and real happiness. To compare
the Girl Of the period with man, American
or otherwise. Is a senseless proceeding that
denotes ignorance, aud today has ceased to
allure by the charm Of novelty. There are
many interesting medico social subjects Of
investigation, but the health OF the Amer
icau girl Is not one, unless based upon
cts.-Iouise Fiske Bryson, NJ. d., in New

How Two Women Kept Their UmbreIlas.

How Two Women Kept Their Umbrellas.
A young woman who had half q dozen
times either mislaid or been robbed OF her
best umbrella finally concluded TO try an
original way OF keeping IL. She had new
one made and mounted on an ivory topped
stick. Then she had the heavy piece OF
kvory carved into an excellent counterpart
OF her own head and face. No one looking
at the bit Of ivory work for an instant could
mistake the likeness between the owner
and the head on the handle. Her friends
predicted that the beauty Of the handle
would only add to the inducement to steal,
for the head and face were exceedingly
beautiful, and the shrewd young woman
knew perfectly we'll that they were when
she ordered It, But the strange part OF 1t
was that 1t didn't. For six years the owner
has carried that umbrella, through rain or
shine, having a new cover put on when
necessary, and only once has she missed IL.
That time she left IL standing In a shop,
and before she had made the rounds OF the
place polite floorwalker had returned II
10 her with smile.
II can keep my umbrella just as well as
that and not have It cost me half so much,
either" said her best friend when she saw
the new umbrella. II can be ingenious,
too, and I'm not proud" So just inside
the edge Of her new umbrella she cut a
round hole as big as half dollar. 1t did
not hurt the usefulness Of the article the
