Arkansas, Woman Delegate.

Miss Kate Cunningham. editor of the
Arkansas WOman's Chronicle. was a
delegate to the national convention of
the Peoples party at Omaha. Miss Gun
ningham was elected by reclamation at
the state convention. She said in re-
Spouse:
The one woman delegate avails her
self of this opportunity to thank the
convention for the honor conferred upO'r
her-not so much for the personal dis,
tinction Though that is not underratedl
as for the precedent it establishes, and
for the recognition it accords to women
in general, that the people gathered to-
gether at Omaha may know that there
are women in Arkansas, and that the
men of the Peoples party there recog-
nize them as persons, and therefore in
the scale of human beings, above the
idiots, lunatics and criminals of their
state"
Of the eighteen men who composed
the committee ON platform, seventeen
declared themselves during their work
in the committee room TO be personally

Women CxcIists in Paris.

Ladies III this country are keenly alive
to the pleasures Of cycling, and even
young girls of birth and breeding are
taken to riding schools where they can
compete in cycle races against lady pro-
fessiOnals. In the grounds of many
chateauX there are long board alleys
made on purpose for cycling racing, in
which brothers and sisters are often
rivals. Doctors order cycling as holi-
day exercise for the young people. The
French neologism for the amusement is
"velOce sport" The cyclist is 'veloce
man." and the lady cyclist a 'veloce
woman" There are "veloce tailors,"
and, it may be added, "veloce dress,
makers" and "velOce hatters." 1t is
agreed that the last half of no matter
what composite word relating to trade
connection with cycling should be
English. One can even say "veloce
factory"
In the fresh, early morning, when the
weather is good, one finds the broad
alleys of the Bots de BOulOgne alive with
velOce men and veloce women. Ameri-
cans prevail among the latter. But
young French married ladies, as well as
professionals, are intent on the sport.
Most of them do full justice to the
velOce tailorS and matters, and are at
ease on their steel horses. A scarfy ar
rangement of lace, technically known
as angels wings" adds wonderfully to
the impression of fleet, graceful motion
of the veloce women. Nuns yelling,
made up into blouse and short skirt, |
is just now the favorite material for the |
outer garments of the lady cyclist.-

A Child in the Oueep,s Seat,

When Lady Henry Somerset was four
or five years old a ball was given at
Buckingham palace to be attended by
none except the first born of peers. She
went with her parents, the Earl and
Countess of SOmers. Being an indie
pendent little thing she strayed off from
her guardians and went on tour of OBJ
servatiOn through the great hall, and
finally when Queen Victoria and Prince
Albert left to 90 to the banquet table
she seated herself on the cushioned seat
the queen had vacated.
She had on a white tulle dress, with
real daisies pinned on or fastened to it.
and wreath of natural daisies rested on
her chestnut brown hair. When Queen
Victoria returned, behold the little girl
was in her seat. whereat the queen
seemed quite amused and said. And
This is little Isabel" The child answered
with quite a toss of her head, This is
Lady Isabel" When Lady Henry was
eighteen years of age she was presented
at court and wore "A white dress covered
with natural flowers as before. The
queen bent to kiss her fresh young
cheek, as is the custom with the daugh-
tiers of peers when they are presented,
and said. Daisies again, Lady Isabelr'
She had remembered the circumstance
of the ballroom all those years in the
midst Of her greatly preOccup!ed life

Curious Marriage Statistics

Boston Courier.
A German ststistician has recently
published the results of the investi.
cation of the relative ages of nus bands
and wives in the various capitals of
Europe.
He ascertained that marriages are
most frequent where the hus band is
two or three years older than the wife.
Women, under twenty years of age,
however, usually take unto them
9lves husbands six or seven years
older than themselves. The cases in
which the man was q year younger
than the woman were almost as nu.
merOus as those in which he was six
or seven years older. The first condi-
ton was true of : per cent of all
married couples and the latter condi.
ton 6 per cent. The cases where
the husband was six or seven years
younger than the wife were also Just
as numerous as those where he was
thirteen or fourteen years older. Only
two cases were discovered where the
husband was thirty-five years the
senior; one case where he was for
seven years older, and one case where
he was older by forty-six years. One
case was discovered where the wife
was thirty-four years oder than the
husband. Twelve and three-ten tbs
per cent OF all men who marry women
under 20 years of age, according to
the statistician, are between 26 and
q years old.

A Narrow Escape.

PittSburg Dispatch.
"A bout two weeks ago | was camp.
ing with party on the shore of Lake
Erie, not far from Ashtsbula,n said
George Wilson, mill worker, few
days ago. shortly after we had re-
tired one evening 1 heard a peculiar
whirring sound which / recognized at

and strike its victim. 1t crawled over
his body good nsturedly, evidently
enjoying the warmth, for the night
was little raw.
A times the snakes head was

war;. He feared the motion of his
chest up and down in breathing
would stir up the animal, and ne tried
hard to breathe as little as possible.
Finally the snake crawled toward the

camp was up. One seized club and
broke the reptiles back before it
could make a spring. 1t measured
nearly feet.
The man who had the terrible ex-

cOolness and nerve he displayed.

Parental Responsibility.

The parent whose sole answer to
criticism or remonstrance is, " / haV
a right to do what / like with my
own child !" is the only impossible
parent. His moral integument is too
thick to be pierced with any shaft,
however keen. To him We can only
say, as Jacques did to Orlando, God
be with you; let's meet as little as we
cam
But most of US dare not take this
ground. We may not philosophize or
formulate, we may not live up to our
degree the responsibility of calling q
human being hlther, and the neces E
sity of guarding and guiding, in one
way or another, that which owes its
being to us.
We should all agree il nut to the
vote that a child has rIxht to be
well born. That was Il trenchant
speech of Henry Ward Rcecher on
the ubieot of being born nya'n; that
If he could be born right the tirst time
he'd take his chances on Ms second.
Hereditary rank, ;" says Wa hington
Irving, "may he snare and delu-
sion, but hereditary virtue is a patent
of innate nobility which far outshines
the blszonry of hersldry."
Over the unborn our power is al
most that of God, and our respon-
sibility, like His toward us; as We
scquit ourselves toward them, so let
Him deal with us.
Why should we be sstonished at
the warped, cold, unhappy, suspicious
natures we see about US, when we re-
feet upon the number of unwished-
for, unwelcomed children in the world;
children who at best were never loved
until they were seen and known, and
often grudged their being from the
moment they began to be. / wonder

Maine's Whistling Postmistress.

The home of Names sweet whistler
Miss Hattie E. Corners, is in Sullivan,
county of Hancock, but she spends the
greater part of her time in Sorrento "a
growing rival of Bar Harbor) where she
serves as pOstmistress. Her appearance
and manner are those usually thought
distinctive of an American woman.
Miss Corners is twenty-eight years of
age, and has exhibited since early child
hood a decided talent for music. She
plays the piano, banjo and violin, and is
not "slow" on the harmonica. She could
also whistle at an early age, but did not
exhibit that remarkable talent before
people" because she was so often re-
minded by older members of her family
and other friends that

Always come to some bad ends.
One day while out driving with her

said her brother. She did so and was
delighted to find how much more power
she had over her voice by so doing.
From that time her fame has been stead
lily growing.
Miss Corners has been student at
the normal school in Castine, and a
teacher Of excellent repute, but during
the past few years she has devoted her
self to the care of the postofice.-Le

and men may DO heard talking Of tho

the fact that extreme measures must DO
adopted to suppress tho anarchists, and
that the most severe punishment must
follow detection. Tho police have,
therefore, been notified that they must
detect tho perpetrators Of these coward
y crimes.
Paris has always boosted OF her secret
