1t is considered unlucky, says a
correspondent of the London Queen.
for the mother and her baby to go out
of doors until the child is baptized;
for the child to be baptized in a
Scotch church, but lucky for the
child to be ehristened in the house it
was born in; for lovers, to be engaged
with a ring containing either opals or
emeralds; for lovers to give either a
Bible as a present before marriage: to
be married in a month where the let

in a Scotch church. Unlucky for n
of the wedding guests TO be dressed
III green or black, a black
Grape bonnet or a band on a GENTLE

couple. A young woman who tries on
a widows cap is sure to be a widow

Unlucky to marry out of your own

bring Towering hawthorn into a

Women andpS Music.

~, a+f|. HaI4 c.
There is no room for the contention
that, as compared with the boy. the
girl has not had fair play-that oppor-
tunlties for cultivating the art have in
her case been few, in his case many.
The reverse is the truth. If there is a
branch OF education in which girls
have been schooled to the neglect of
every other, it is precisely that of
music. 1t is among the primary sub
Jects to which she is put, and among
the very last she is allowed to leave off.
Not one hour a day, but many hours
out of the twenty-four, are consumed
by her at the piano, to say nothing of
other instruments, while singing les
sons are usually given in supplement
to these.
1t might have been thought that if
practice gives perfection woman
would have eXcelled her male counter
part not only as an executant but as a
composer. But what are the facts?
In instrumental performance she can
not for a moment compare with him,
while as to composition she is no.
where. The repertory of music from
the dawn of art to the present day
owes simply nothing to her. Consid-
ering the time she has spent over it,
her failure to evolve new harmonies
or even new melodies is n of the
most extraordinary enigmas in the
history of the fine arts.
1t has been remarked, but never ex-
planned. by such accomplished as-
thetic writer's as Lady Eastlake in her
celebrated essay on Music" and by
such keen psychological analysis as
Mr.. G. H. Lewes in his Life of
Goethe;" it is. indeed. a problem still
awaiting solution, unless we can solve
it by an appeal to such facts as Sir J,
Crichton Browne adduced in his re-
cent oration-the inferiority of wom-
an to man in the cerebral substratum
of ideo-motor energy. Why, with
such a record of mo results"-so far.
at least, Is the production of a female
Handel or Beethoven, or even a fe-
male Chuck or Bellini is concerned
music should usurp such a preponder-
ant place in girls education, it is diff
cult to divine-London Lancet.

THE CAR STOVE MUST GO.

The numerous railway accidents
which occurred during the late cold
weather calls attention to the fact
that in nearly every instance the
deaths were caused, and the most
severe injuries received by the burn
ing Of the wrecks. This was notably
the case at the catastrophe at Brain
erd in this state, and at Virogua, Wis.
The result Of these disasters ought to
give greater emphasis to the demand
that the deadly car stove should go.
The construction of passenger coach
es is such, that in case of wreck
where the coach is overturned or goes
down an embankment, the occupants
are not only penned in, but are gen.
orally pinned down so as to be unable
to extricate themselves without as
sistance. Then it is, that the deadly
car stove gets in it's work.
The leading railway lines of the
country have either abolished the
stove and oil lamps altogether or are
fast doing so. The same ought to be
done upon every line in the country.
Public sentiment ought to rise to that
point upon this subject that railroads
would not dare to longer delay in the
matter. And if it should prove true
in this case, that corporations have
not hearts that can be touched by
human suffering, then the strong arm
of the law should be invoked in be-
half of the travelling public for its
protection.
The heating Of passenger coaches by
steam is no longer an experiment and
there is no reason for excuse on that
point, and when the question of hui
| man life is taken into account, the
item of expense that may be incurred
in making change is not to be con-
sidered.
The FREE PRESS does not believe
the various railway arrangements are
Indifferent on this subject, butlike
all reforms it is slow work getting the
matter under Roadway.
Railway accidents at the best are
bad enough, but to have human be-
ings roasted alive in this age when
science and invention stand ready to
relieve every human Ill and want
within the power of man to relieve
savors too much of the barbaric to be
permitted The matter should be
kept continually before the public,
and the cry should be, until it is an
accomplished fact in every passenger
coach in the land, that the deadly cal
stove must 60.
We understand that the passenger
coaches on several of the main lines OF
the Milwaukee & ST. Paul system are
now heated by steam and during the
present year the change will be COM
J pleted upon all the important lines OF
; it's vast system.

A STRANGE CASE.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press, Of Wednes.
day, contained story of q Min
nesota girl, the dispatch being dated
at Atlanta, Ga. 1t says:
"a few days ago a gentleman named
Lam barton from Minnesota came
down to Charleston, S. c., to find the
grave and carry back the body of q
sister-in-law named Miss Eta Nc
Bride. What was his astonishmen8
at learning that Miss Mcbride is no.
dead, but on the very day she was
said TO have died she came from
Charleston to Atlanta.
Inc story is a strange one. a letter
had been received from Charleston
signed Mrs. a. E. Brown, which gave
a detailed account Of the death of
Miss Mcbride. 1t stated that the
lady had died during fainting fit and
had been given a respectable burial.
Enclosed in the letter from the mvs-
ferrous and possibly non-existing Mrs.
a. e.. Brown, was q letter signed bv
Miss Mcbride, said to have been found
on her person. The letter stated that
the writer was of delicate health and
ia bic to die at any moment, and gave
full instructions as to whom to write
in the event of her death. A check
for Sl04 was also enclosed. The trunk
with the clothing came few DAYS
Mr.. Lambarton learned by the aid
OF charleston detectives that Miss
Mcbride reached Charleston on Nov
End last, and after staying two DAYS
at the Osceola hotel, bought a ticket
at the depot for Atlanta. There the
story stopped short.
No reasonable motive is ascribed for
the young moman's action in deceiy-
ing her family. Why should She wish
TO be considered dead by them? She
IS handsome blonde, twenty-four
years old.
Whatever the provocation might
nave been, it is a novel and unusual
dea. Miss Mcbride is said to have
lad about $500 dollars with her when
'he came to Charleston. The detects

ne time pupil at the State Normal
chool, her parents now residing at
Iarden City.

The attempt to make Utah astate
seems to be backed up by the free
silverites, in the hope that by its adj
mission they will gain two additional
votes in the senate. But before Utah
becomes a state the people will de-

that the Objectionable features OF
Mormonism are SO dead that they
will not be resurrected when it is be-

Gov Hill. has intimaited that he de-
sires an early convention in New York
and named Feb end, as a good date.
This is opposed by many Democrats
there, on the ground that country
roads are so bad during February and
March that travel is impossible. Yet
these same Democrats supported the
enumeration bill, which provides for
the taking of the state census while
the roads are impossible. This is an
ether specimen of Democratic con-
SIStency.
