Essentials Of aentlewomen.

Sincerity, truthfulness, conscientious
ness, charity are the moral essentials of
gentlewomen, wholly surprising their
minor qualities qualities that are still
important. These often relate to man
ners which, when true, denote some
kind of virtue, and are therefore pleas
ing. The manners of gentlewomen are
repose, quietude, self possession. But
as many of the sex have these, and no
inward complement, they are counter
feits speedily detected. The moral ele-
ments last and stand every test.
Gentlewomen may not be measured
by common rule. They are not con-
ventional, much as they may seem SO.
They are thoroughly independent, a law
and religion to themselves, an energy
for social progress and enlightenment.
They are to be found everywhere, often
est when unsought and unimagined.
Were the sex guilty Of all the follies and
transgressions recited by misogynists
there are gentlewomen enough to absolve
them all and perpetuate their worship
among the sons of men.-Junius Henri
Browne in st. Louis Globe Democrat.

Does Modern Education Educate?

One of the greatest disadvantages of
an exclusively college education is that
it is apt to foster what Macaulay calls a
Chinese cast of mind" that stupid con-
tempt of everything beyond the wall of
the college mans celestial empire. The
defenders of college education claim
as their own every man of distinction
who has attended college, whereas these
men became eminent authors, lawyers,
statesmen, etc., in spite of the fact that
they spent several of the most valuable
years OF their lives at college, and were
only saved from the obscurity of the
majority of college bred men by syste-
matically neglecting the dull routine of
prescribed studies and spending their
time in desultory reading.
Bacon, Dryden, Sheridan, Byron,
Scott, Wellington and many other illus
trious men went to college, but dis
dained to subject their intellects to the
antiquated course of studies prescribed.
Who were the senior wranglers at col
lege when the men just mentioned were
cutting the classics and reading history.
poetry and fiction? The very names of
the successful scholars are unknown,
but the ''idle young men" who refused
to be tied to the mental corpse of a dead
literature made their names immortal

RHEUMATISM.
An Eminent Physician on . Popular
Disease.

EDITOR: Will you please decide bet
by stating what muscular rheumatism
is, and if many people in this part of
the country are affected?
On receipt of the above communica-
ton San Francisco Examiner reporter
was detailed to interview a physician
who understood the disease thoroughly.
1t was shown by investigation that more
sufferers from rheumatism were treated
at the Cosmopolitan Dispensary, Market,
Stockton and Ellis streets, than by one
tenth of the entire medical profession of
San Francisco. There were number
of patients sitting in the large reception
room when the reporter reached there,
but an usher showed him into the Office
of the physician-in-chief without delay.
The latter is a man who bears the proud
distinction Of graduating in London and
afterward graduating at Bellevue, New
York city.
Il want to learn something about
rheumatism, DOCTOR" exclaimed the re-
porter.
Rheumatism is liable to afflict the
apparently most healthy of people, he
said, and more especial by muscular rheu-
matism. tits supposed to be frequently,
If not generally, caused by suppression
of the skin, and attributed mainly to
the atmospheric actions upon the surface
of the body. 1t does not necessarily
follow that it is the result of cold. In
many cases the disease is of hereditary
character, in which case it's cure is more
difficult than under ordinary circum-
stances. 1t has been known to attack
children, but such instances are very
rare. In the majority of cases the suf-
ferer experiences his first attack between
the ages of Is and 80 years. As a gem
eral rule it attacks men mostly, and if
the average man reaches the age of 30
years without having experienced its
tortures his chance for getting it is
smaller"
What are the first symptoms of mus
cular rheumatism?"
"a heavy, dull pain is felt in certain
muscles, which increases and finally be-
comes severe, and sometimes so excru-
ciating that the patient will cry aloud.
Voluntary movements, which occasion
the severe pain, are avoided as much as
possible, but as it is absolutely impos-
sible to maintain rigidly fixed positions
! of the body as whole or of it's different
parts, the affected muscles are at times
thrown into painful contraction, how
ever much the patient may desire to
avoid them"
do you treat many cases of rheuma-
tism?"
"Yes, sir; a great many. We have a
specialist who devotes his time exclu-
sively to that disease. Speaking on this
subject, here is letter from Mr. G. F.
Eckhart of Gilroy, Cal, which he states
we can make public.
The doctor handed the reporter the
letter, which read: Gentlemen-I feel
grateful for the help 1 have received at
your hands. Every day friends remark
to me that look better, when only a
short time ago they expected to hear of
my death. I feel that an institution
that has snatched me from the grave as
you have deserves the warmest encour-
ageInent. Believe me, gratefully yours
-(Signed)EC. F. Eckhart."
Another remarkable cure was effected
in the case of Mrs. Rose Brown of San
Mateo county, lady who is very well
known here's. F. Examiner.

why Some oorks Are Made by Hand.

The reason for making champagne
corks by hand is curious and interesting.
The cork machine is provided with cir
cular knives of razorlike edge. Now, the
crude cork is so rough and hard that if
it were applied to one of these rapidly
revolving knives the knife would at once
be ruined. So crude cork that is to be
cut by machinery must be softened in a
steam vat. It comes out almost pulpy
and cuts like cheese. But the steam
takes the "life" out of the cork. Its
elasticity is gone, never to be recovered,
and when the machine cut cork is
driven into bottle the cork tends to
shrink and permit leakage.
Furthermore, the machine made cork
is automatically round, while the
necks of bottles are more or less irregu-
lar. AS the machine made cork has lost
it's elasticity, its smooth, round surface
cannot swell out to fill any irregularity
in the neck of the bottle, and here 10 an
other source of leakage.-New York
