can rise superior TO party methods and the
self seeking of the trained politician, never
theless the desire of my own neighbors, when
expressed with such earnest unanimity be-
comes greater than any wish to the contrary
OF my own, and with feelings of pride, which
! would not disguise bow in ready submits
sion to their will.
1t is unnecessary TO recite the reasons
prompting the decIination made on the 18th

time since that date embraced the greatest
opportunities for the most effective work for
the attainment OF the end still so zealously
desired by them and you. 1t is enough
that they, who have known me best,
propose in their wisdom and fiattering
Partially to impose a burthen of gravest
responsibilities which / would now unhesi-
tatingly accept even though it did not hold
the possibilities for the most distinctive honor
which the people of q great state can confer.

WOMEN AS COMPOSERS.

In All tho Higher Efforts Of Mind They
Are Far Inperior to Men.
1t might have been thought that If
practice gives perfection women would
have excelled her male counterpart, not
only as an executant, but as composer
of music, declares the London Lancet.
But in instrumental performances she
cannot for moment compare with
him, while as composer she Is no.
where. The repertoire of music, from
the dawn Of the art to the present day,
owes simply nothing to her Consider
ing the time she has spent over it, her
failure to evolve now harmonies, or
even new melodies, is one of the ex-
traordinary enigmas in the history of
the fine arts.
Where, in ancient times or in modern,
can woman, with all her practice, be
found to have created one chef-d euvre
in music? The inference implied by
the negative answer to such a question
seems simply this: That in the higher
efforts of 'mind-eyen in those where
the admixture of an emotional cle:uent,
as in music, might be supposed to give
her the advantage-women is inferior
to her male counterpart, and cannot, by
any educational forcing system, be
made equal to him, deficient as she ia in
the physiological conditions of ideo-
plastic power

HOT BATHING.
A Japanese Custom That Other Peoples
Would Do Well to Copy.

A Japanese Custom That Other Peoples
Would Do Well to Copy.
In hygienic matters the Japanese
have everywhere habit which may
have a lesson for us. In their nightly
bath and morning wash the water is
never cold, never warm, but always hot
as it can be borne. To foreigners this
habit seems very surprising, but the
most inveterate Englishman, if he stays
in the country long enough, abandons
his cold tub in its favor. The cold
taking, says an English exchange,
which it is suspected must follow is not
found to occur if the water has been
hot enough. This heat is maintained
by little furnace beneath the bath.
In the bath the bather or bathers take
a prolonged soaking, the washing
proper being done on the bathroom
floor; then follows second and final
soaking, drying with towel, and a
lounge in bathing wrapper. This habit
seems to promote softness and supple
ness of the skin, and by persons in
clined to rheumatism is soon found to
be altogether preferable to the cold
bath in every particular. The poorest
of the Japanese hear of a cold bath
with amazement, and would be- sure
the man who used it must be bar
barian.

DEADLY POISON IN ARROWS.

Recent Investigations Go to show That
1t Contains Msrshy Earth.
M. Dantec has examined and expert
mented with the arrow poison used by
the natives Of the New Hebrides. He
finds THAT it contains neither vegetable
poison nor serpent virus, but consists of
earth impregnated with vegetable mat
ter taken from marshy places and con-
tanning Pasteur's vibrion septique or
bacillus of malignant oedema and also
the bacillus of tetanus.
II the arrows have been kept long
time, says London Lancet, or have been
much exposed to the sun, the vibrion
septique may have been destroyed. The
danger then is from tetanus. When the
arrows have been freshly prepared and
the vibrion septique is still active, a
wound from them causes death in a
guinea pig from septicemia in from
twelve to fifteen hours; tetanus, which
takes longer than that period of time to
develop, does not under these circum-
stances show itself. 1t is interesting to
remark that the horse is unknown in
these islands, consequently the theory
of the equine origin of tetanus would
seem to be negatived by these re-
searches.

rhe Elephant Frog.

The Paris Rappel, not to be outdone
by it's contemporaries, who, during the
summer, startled the public of the
French capital by the most surprising
sea-serpent stories, recently capped the
climax by mentioning among the Won
ders to be exhibited at the Chicago
worlds fair in the department for am
phibians the elephant frog ''On the
shores of the Ohio" it says, ''there
exists a gigantic frog-Ranula e!e-
phanta-which exclusively feeds on the
eggs of wild geese and ducks that nest
in the reeds of that river. AS it is not
endowed with teeth for breaking the
the shells it swallows the eggs as they
are laid by the web-footed tribes on the
banks of the rivers. They are, of
course, hard to digest in this form, but
the frog knows how to get ont of this
dilemma. 1t climbs a modern-sized
tree and dextcrously drops down upon
its stomach, the conclusion breaking
the shell of the egg, which is now easily
digested in the shape of an omelette.
It is highly interesting to observe his
frogships blinking eyes, which give ex-
precision to the utter satisfaction en-
joycd by their owner" This oviphagous

NoAH,s ARK.
It Was Found Just where the Patriarch
Left 1t. -

It was Found Just where the Patriarch
81 /. Left 1t.
1t was some five Thousand years ago
when Noah landed on the top of Mount
Ararat in Armenia. Although he was
neither a ship-builder by trad, nor did
he use steel plates, but bull, his vessel
with wooden planks only, che ark was
of such marvellous power for resistance
that it has withstood the wear and tear
of wind and weather all this time until
this day. To this effect is the informa-
tion conveyed to the world by the right
reverend papal delegate to Malabar,
archdeacon of Babylon, and Doctor of
Divinity Joseph Nouri, in his report of
his travelling adventure published in the
most faithful Roman Catholic paper,
Universe, at Paris. The report is re-
plete with minute circumstantialtevi-
dence of the fact that the learned doc
tor has discovered the ark of Noah on
the top of the Ararat. At a distance Of
one thousand feet from the top of the
mountain, too small distance to allow
of q possibility of mistake, he saw with
his naked eye spot of a peculiar tint
which, on closer inspection, was found
to look like a large vessel, part of which
stood out above the snow and was
clearly visible. 1t was above three hun
dred feet long and one hundred feet
high. In the center was turret. The
sides had openings like windows. The
central part of the roof had been broken
in by the snow. The doctor was, he
says, in condition of wonder so indie
scribab1e as to entirely overlook the
fact that it would have been well to go
nearer to the vessel and examine it
more thoroughly. He says it was on
April 25 last at two p. m. that he first
saw that le'stood face to face with the
arlr Of Noah

a RAILROAD ADVENTURE.
It Was Amusing, But Not at the Time 1t
fI.H HauDeDed.

Happened.
A lady who has been travelling
abroad related an adventure, says the
Youths Companion, which befell her in
Italy in n railway train, an adventure
that is not without its amusing side.
Her husband put her into compart-
luggage. After he had gone villain
ous-loolring fellow got in, and present
ly the train started off, the husband
not appearing. The lady was naturally
a good deal disturbed, and the way in
in which the stranger looked at her did
not tend to diminish her agitation.
Suddenly, still with his eyes fixed up
on her, the man took from his pocket a
large clasp-knife and opened it. Then
he rose and deliberately cut from the
window blinds their cords, and began
to knot them together The lady was
terrified almost to death. She expect
ed to be strangled on the spot, and be-
gan appealing to the stranger to spare
her. He only laughed brutally, an
swe;ing her in Italian, of which she
did not understand word.
Then he pulled off his coat and. waist
coat, and just as the terrified woman
was almost prepared to fling herself
out of the compartment of the swiftly
moving train, he knotted the cords so
as to piece out broken suspender, put
on his coat and waistcoat, and sat
quietly down in corner, where he
went quickly to sleep.
The husband, who had by mistak G
got into wrong compartment just as
the train was starting, and who joined
his wife at the next station, found her
on the verge of Mysteries from the eff
fects of the fright she had undergone.
