ICE CREAM AND WOMAN.

ICE CREAM AND WOMAN.
Every summer Woman's relation to ice
cream has to be discussed. This has been
so ever since Adam didn't have money
enough to buy Eve all the ice cream she
wanted and tried to persuade her that if
she ate any more tyrotoxcion would make
her dear little stomach ache. OF course he
failed to convince her, and had to quietly
tell the ice cream man to "chalk it down."
while Eve ate two more of 'lemon and
vanilla mixed" This summer the discus
sion is opened by that serious-minded
journal, the American Hebrew. The tone
of its remarks shows how the writer of
them must have suffered. He says: Ask
q lady whether she will take some ice
cream and nine times out of ten she will
answer no and at the same time mean
yes. Ask another if she will have some
thing to eat, and she'll reply that she isn't
hungry. No lady will admit that she is
hungry. Indeed, it would be dangerous to
be in the vicinage of a hungry woman.
Now, it wouldn't do to call this telling an
untruth. 1t is better to style 1t prevarica
ton. But why should there be any neces-
sity for it9 There is only one way to do,
and that is, in the language of Moore,
take q woman's no for yes, and act &C.
oordingly. In this, however, one must
exercise good judgment and discretion.
It won't do to apply this rule to every
no. Moore's rule may, however, be safely
followed when q gentleman asks lady
to have dinner or ice cream. If she says
no, call the waiter.
This is very sad and pessimistic. We
cannot help wondering what kind of la
dies the American Hebrew has had e1pe-
rience with. If nine out of ten of them
have refused ice cream when they really
wanted it they must be of the old-fash-
| ioned kind. Perhaps the American He
brew is not writing of recent experience,
but of something which took place forty
or 6fty years ago when ladies were never
!, publicly hungry for ice cream or anything
else. Young men of the present day tell
us that the modern lady is always hungry
and ready for ice cream, and not q bit
backward about saying so. If the Ameri-
can Hebrew has recently asked ten ladies
i 10 eat Ice cream and nine of them refused
ito American Hebrew has been In luck,
and has no call to accuse the nine refusers

COMmENCEM
The Commencement season has again ar
rived, and all over the land young men
and young women are being ceremonious-
ly turned out into the world with their
hearts full of hope and their heads full of
baseball, rowing, their graduating clothes
and what education they have not con-
trived to escape. They are preached at
and told how to live 30 as to be successful
on earth and triumphant in heaven. They
are the centers of admiration and pride.
They do not know how little they know
and SO they feel pretty well, and those ap-
pointed to do such work read essays and
make carefully prepared and revised
speeches in which they tell this tough old
world how to reform itself and make it.
self the abode of peace, piety and pros
perity. .
After Commencement will come the test
The young folks will find that the world
was not made exclusively for their use,
and that it will positively decline to be
used by them except on the usual terms.
But there is no cause for encouragement.
On the contrary, there has probably never
been q time when talent, tact and toll
were any surer of rich reward than they
are now. The thing for young man or q
young woman to do is to pitch into life
with an honest purpose and all the vim
that can be mustered up. Honesty, indus
try and patience will bring success, even
with moderate ability, and though there is
undoubtedly good deal of room at the
top, there is slso room at several stages
below the top. The main thing to aim at
is to do good. honest work and not be q
hypocrite and fraud. 1t is we'll enough to
put money in the purse if it can be done
without robbing anybody else, but "a good
name is rather to be chosen than great
riches" And fame is alluring, but

A resident of Huntington, Pennsylvania,
advertised recently that he could prove
that in spirituslism is . remedy for ali

the surgeons knife, and allow himself to

has been operated upon it Is not probable
that he will be able to argue the question.

James h. Miller, postmaster at Gauley
Bridge, West Virginia, was appointed by
President William Henry Harrison over
fifty years ago, and is probably the oldest
postmaster in the country. He has retain
ed his Office through all the political
changes of the past half-century, and at the
age of eighty y-siI years he Is as prompt and
efficient as any postmaster in the State.
During the late war Mr.. Miller's Office was
several times within the Confederate lines,
but he was never disturbed or annoyed in
any way.
Temperance advocates will make much
of the statement that the recent conversion
of the gauge of the Great Western railroad
was accomplished entirely without the use
of alcoholic stimulants. Nearly 8, 900 men
worked two successive days of seventeen
hours, with only short intervals for meals,
and moved the rails over 200 miles of road,
and nothing but oatmeal and water was
furnished for drink. The workmen them
selves declare that the oatmeal water was
more refreshing, thirst-quenching and sus-
staining than beer would have been.
A singular occupation is that of Moy
Hoe, San Francisco Chinsmsn, who has

ship them to China for final burial. Moy
Hoe has visited all the principal cities of
the country on this mission and has even
followed the lines of railroad and pene-
trated mining camps where his country
men have been employed. He says that
his agents have gathered the bones of
many hundreds of dead, which have been
restored to Chinese soil. In Tacoma alone
he found the friends of thirty Of the de-

REMARKS OF GREAT MEN UNDER
STRANGE Noes.

The battle of the Nile was fought
August 1, 1893, between the French
and English fleets. Sir Horatio
Nelson was in command of the latter
and as the engagement was about to
begin, he exclaimed, Victory or
Westminster Abbey!" And victoryi:
was.
When Charles TX. ofSweden, al the
age of nineteen years, fought and de-
feated a large body of Russians at
Narva in 100, Peter the Great, who
led his army, had several horses shot
under him, and while exchanging a
dead steed for a more useful one
after a repetition of the occurrence,
he remarked, "These people seem dis
posed to give me exercise" And
events proved the truth of the proph-
ecy.
The mace is an emblem Of authority
and used in our Congress as well as in
the English Parliament and though
it is merely a symbol, it commands
respect; but was never so insulted as
when Oliver Cromwell Stalked into
the English House to disperse the
members and dissolve the Parliament
hO hlC1NO Ia III tlS Suldl Jld(C
and when Cromwell saw it he must
have sneered at the petty symbol,
for he called one of his soldiers, and
ordered, "Take away that bauble."
So, as the mace was carried out, the
doors were locked and the Parliament
effectually dissolved.
The message of Commodore Perry

Erie had taken place, and the British
fleet were defeated. Then the Com

GRATEFUL FROM INFANCY

He kept aloof, and stubbornlv de-

AS he was the person most desired,
every effort was made to change his
mind, and the committee of arrange
ments at last applied to Mr.. Barnum
(who was a passenger), and begged
him to labor with the reluctant
singer.
Mr.. Barnum undertook the mission,
and after stating the case and max

he, land l dislike exceedingly to take

Mr.. Barnum, felt much compliment
