SINGLE MEN TOO PLENTIFUL.
Two Million Women Forced to Earn TheiH
Own Livings in America.

The failure of young men to marry
has compelled hundreds of thousands Of
young women to earn an independent
living. All honor to the girls who
work: but the divine plan was that
men should be the bread earners and
that women should be the center of
homes. Whenever such fundamen-
tai law of society as this is violated,
the LADIES' Home Journal says, retri-
button is inevitable. There are today
upward of 100000 women in the
United States who make their living
by professional and personal services,
such as the practice of law and
medicine, the teaching of music and
art work, clerical service of one sort
or another in government and other
offices, quite apart from the army OF
young women who serve in stores and
toll at mechanical labor. No one who
can look back over generation Of time
has failed to observe the extent to
which women have become independ-
ent bread earners within compara-
lively recent years, and particularly in
those avenues which education and re-
fined habits of life have opened up. 1t
is, in fact, a grave social problem where
this thing will end.
1t would seem that this, among other
causes, is accomplishing the purpose
which Malthus aimed to teach, for the
inexorable conclusions of the statis-
tician show that the American and
Canadian family is steadily growing
smaller. If the average number per
family had been as great in 1890 as in
1860, there would have been 5000, ,00C
people in the United States and 430, ,0Oo
in Canada above what the recent cen
suses revealed. This is fact of far
reaching Importance and applies its
force in other directions than the sub.
ject of this article.
Is there remedyp Certainly there
is none which can be easily and readily
applied. Two hundred years ago,
guided largely by the jesuits, the zeal,
Gus King Louis of France made stern
laws for the government of this young
colony in respect to marriage. He de.
creed that every father having son
18 years of age, or a daughter OF Is,
should be held accountable to the state
it they were not married.

Perpetual Holy Lamps.

Cedemus makes m ention of a lamp
which, together with an image OF
Christ, was found at Odessa during the
reign of the Emperor Justinian. 1t
was set over certain gate and sealed
so as to exclude all air. The seal tes-
titled that these details were carried
out soon after the cruci6xion. When
opened by the soldiers of Cosroes, king
of Persia, it was found to be burning
as brightly as when first inclosed,
over five hundred years before. The
Persian forces broke down the shrine
and poured out the oil that was sill
in the lamp, an act which is said to
Az" been followed by a great plague.
A, he time the old monasteries al
ElrIand were demolished lamp was
foant in tomb which was supposed
to have been burning since about the
year 80 A. ID. How these things were
accomp plished is Il mystcry but it is
supposed that the Romans understood
how to resolve gold into an oil, few
ounces of which would suffice to burn
a thousand years. Ii such an art was
ever understood it is now irretrievably
lost. t.-PhilddelphiG Press.

guess, Terpsichore, you had better take
charge OF this feature and see if you
can't improve it
"Since then Terpsichore has worked
long and hard to get the kinks out of
the habit of dancing and worked it
over into highly artistic and graceful
accomplishment.
The first difficulty she met with was
to break the men into dancing. Hither-
to it had been almost wholly confined
to the feminine sex. The girls used to
slip away into the woods and dance in
circle all by themselves.
"The practiced eve. of Terpsichore
saw at once that this wouldn't do. and
she tried to break the men into trip
ping the light fantastic. 1t was hard
job. There is something about mans
legs that does not allow him to develop
into a Carmencita. When a man gets
gay he can work his mouth artistically,
but his legs tangle up and confuse
themselves with an ambiguity that sug-
gests cross-eyed cow with the rheuma-
tisrn scampering across a railroad
bridge in fog.
"Many and many a time had Terpsich-
ore cried in vexation of spirit at the
clumsiness of the masculine sex.
Jupiter tried to help her out by invent
ing the Satyrs, half man, half goat, but
the girls wouldn't dance with them and
the scheme fell through.
"Five hundred years passed md Ter
psichore was still unsuccessful in rop-
ing in the men. In Scipio Africanus'
time the baldheaded old Romans used
to sneak around to the theaters and
watch the girls dance, but they never
tried it themselves.
zone night Scipio Africanus and his
friends had been bowling up pretty
heavily, land when they reached Scipio' S
house about a. m. Mrs. Africanus was
at an upper window in her night-gown
and storm-cloud scowl. She over
heard this:
"'Friends, said Scipio, 4 have got
some fine old stuff in the house, and l
want you to taste it
"'Prithee,' quoth Brutus, but it is
very late and Mrs. Africanus might not
like it.
"'Fellow citizens cried Scipio in a
loud voice, Il give you to understand
that am Caesar in my own house

firm, adamant voice, it is late; you had

that Terpsichore succeeded in lassoine

where the man puts his arm around the
maiden and the maiden lays her head
on his shoulder. This caught the men

rejoiced. The cold, unfeeling remark

The Rat in the House.

Man has no more constant compaA-
ion than the rat. The little animal is
by no means desirable companion,
for he is not honest. he is destructive
and not altogether cleanly, even when
in robust health. When it is known
that he is probably breeder,
or at least the transmitter of disease,
how much more will his presence be
deplored and dreaded.
In the house the rat has man at a
disadvantage that is direct. When he
gains access to the pantry and nibbles
the cheese, the cake, the roast or the
pie, may he not, if a tuberculosis VIC
tim. leave enough poison behind to in
oculate with the disease all who eat of
what he has pollutedp A single breath
from his pest-laden lungs will breed in
the sleeping babe a malady that all
the scientists in the world cannot cure.
In a word, the diseased rat has at his
mercy the master of the house, his
wife and his children.
Right here / would suggest that the
children of the house should be inter-
dicted from petting pussy. who is a
mouser. To keep the cat from the
rat-infested cellar, see that she is al
ways we'll fed. Never let her become
hungry and she will lose her taste for
rat flesh. DR.. S. Il. Weber's Lecture.

Would do no Harm.

Senator Hill, while governor of New
York, found fault with a bill presented
to him by delegation of country
men because it contained about three
adjectiyes to every noun.
"What's the use of that, and that?"
he growled in a good-natured way, as
he put his finger here and there upon
the unlucky bill.
The chairman of the delegation
meekly replied each time: Il may
not be necessary, governor. but it
won't do any harm"
The governor at last found host OF
adjectives gathered about one OPP
pressed noun, and looking at the
chairman, said:
II suppose you'll put the ten COM
mandments in the bill next"
Did this suggestion disturb the
equanimity and lovely meekness OF
that chairman? Not in the least.
Without the culver of an eyelid he
answered:
"They might not be necessary, gov
ernor, but they wouldn't do any
harm. From. the Sunny Side Of Poli-
tics"

other is affected but not to the same
extent as to the one to which it was
given. The most curious circumstance
is that when sentence is begun by
one child the other frequently finishes
it. When sleeping one child lies on her
back and the other on her side, which
gives an idea of the aexibility of the
connection. The children are very
good friends and seldom quarrel. For
their age the twins are particularly in
telligent. They have been taught
English for the last three months. and
although they do not speak more than
a few simple words, they seem to un-
derstand it fairly well already. The
twins have excited good deal of in
terest among the medical profession
in India, and there is little doubt that
their appearance in London and in
America will be welcomed by scien-
fists no less than by the unscientific
sightseer.

Wrote in Il Warm Bath.

Perhaps no other literary man chose
more extraordinary places than Wills
for the purposes of composition. His
fayorite place, and the one in which
he always used to assure his friends
his best work was done, was a warm
bath.
Warm baths being not always pro-
durable, and if INDUCED in too much
being somewhat unhealthy, Wills
would betake himself to bed as being
the next most congenial place and
would, when the humor seized him,
lie there for days writing. The greater
part OF "Charles |" was composed in
bed; and about the writing of it he
used to tell an amusing story.
The fourth act, which, as originally
written, dealt with the execution of
the king, was not approved of by Hen
ry Irving, who suggested the germ of
the act as it now stands, Wills was
delighted with the idea and went to
bed Immediately, full of poetic ardor.
In the course of the day his landlady
came up to see him and was much up
set when she saw the state he was in
tears were coursing down his cheeks
and he looked the picture of misery.
1T was with great ditiiulty," said
Wills, that persuaded her that was
not suffering from some personal be-
reayement."
Wills was never able to write the
pathetic passages in his plays without
crying like child, and on this occa-
sion he was writing the kings farewell
to his wife before being led out to ex-
| ecution.

SUGGESTIONS FROM A DOCTOR.
He Discusses Babies Clothes and Answers
Some Questions.

After baby has been bathed put on
little powder, say violet or chalk.
Place soft and light flannel bandage
about the lower portion of the body.
Next comes baby's most essential un-
dergarment, the diaper, which, by the
way, should not be so thick as to cause
bow legs, and should be changed fire.
quently.
Stockings reaching half way to the
knee are the best, according to ply
sician quoted by the n. Y. World, and
the next outer garment should be a
little cambria chemise. A light f1an-
mel skirt, reaching not below the heels,
is the garment now in order. On the
outside the baby should have a "wash-
ip"-something which every mother
knows about-and if in a crib mos
quito-netting to protect it from flies.
At night baby requires a bath, {.
clean bandage and nightgown OF
flannel or light cotton flannel, and
should always sleep alone.
Very long dresses are never neces-
sary for your child. Motherly care,
plenty of water and good common
sense will keep your children free from
the diseases which are common in
childhood.
The following questions have been
received:
/. Will you be so kind as to inform
me of sure remedy for "blackheads?"
2. What is the necessary outfit for
home manicuring?
/. 70 remove "blackheads," wash the
face with CASTLE soap, using soft
brush-an old nail brush or tooth
brush. Rinse the face with warm wa
ter, but do not apply any powder.
After an hour apply some peroxide OF
hydrogen and ammonia, and after a
minute wash again. Go to your drug
gist, buy two ounces of peroxide OF
hydrogen, and keep it in cool place
away from the light until you are
ready to use it. After you have
cleansed your face with the soap, put
about two tablespoonfuls of the perox.
ide in saucer and add to this ABOUT
five or six drops of ammonia-the Or
dinary household ammonia-and then,
with your fingers, rub this mixture
over the face. In few moments you
will notice whitish appearance of the
skin. 1nen WASH your lace IN warm
water. The peroxide should not be
applied for more than two minutes at
a time, but may be used three times
a week until you are cured.
Never squeeze "blackheads;' if you
do you will till your face with holes
which will never close.
2. A good outfit for "home mani
curing" should consist of:
l. A pair of curved scissors.
2. A knife in fixed handle.
3. An ordinary combination cleaner,
file, and hang-nail lifter-such as you
can get at any store for few cents.
4. A nail-brush.
5. A piece of chamois skin for pol
ishing.
6. Some prepared chalk to use with
the chamois in polishing the nails.
Z. Plenty of soap aud water.
