Young Girls Rule Chicago.

The part the young girl plays in.
Chicago society is very important; in
comparison with that taken by the
young matrons and the older married
people, almost too much so, writes
Mrs Reginald De Koven in the LddieS'
Home Journal. 1t has been stated that
society exists only as a matrimonial
bureau, organized and conducted sole
lv for the benefit of the debutante,
who lives a brief butterfly existence
in shower of compliments and flow
ers before she marries and retires
from view. This is an overstatement,
but not so egregious one as might
be wished. Older people, with, of
course, some notable exceptions, do
not consider society to hold any obi
cations for them. There are very few
houses where dinners are given with
any reference to the bringing together
of the men and women who, in the
prime of their lives, are influencing
and determining the life of the city.
Young and old people, also, are very
rarely asked together, which is loss
to both-to the young of the desirable
contact with minds of force, maturity
and experience; to the old of the joy
full, refreshing influences of youth.
Hence it happens that the men see
each other at the clubs, the women at
their luncheon parties and literary So
cieties, and really regrettable sepa-
ration of occupation and thought es-
tablishes itself. Every possible pro
lection is given to the debutante il
her entrance into the world, but here
as elsewhere in America, she is per.
mitted to follow her own inclinationt
in the question of marriage.

Grease in Carpets.

In the weaving of pile fabrics little
oil is occasional used to facilitate the
movement of the wires, and very
careless weaver may in handling the
oil can allow few drops to fall on the
fabric. No mark of this may appear
at the time, but when the carpet is on
the floor the dust which would other
wise be swept off by the broom is at
tracted and held by the oil, and a spot
becomes visible. When the spot is on
or near the edge of breadth there is
another explanation, says the Carpel
Trade ReUieaU. Sometimes the cars in
which carpeting is carried South OF
West have been previously used for the
transportation of oil, and the bottoms
of these cars are liable to become
saturated with the drippings and leak
age of oil barrels. Woolen carpetine
placed to such cars may absorb the oil
and the fact may not become evident
to the dealer until carpet 80 damaged
has been laid on floor or shown in his
salesroom often enough to catch some
dust. When such spots appear in in
grains one explanation may be thai
the wool was not properly secured
But, of course, in most instances
where complaints concerning spots
are made, the cause need not be,looked
for outside the house in which the
carpet is laid. Children or careless
servants are responsible for most ol
these spots as well as for great dea.
of the "sprouting." Fortunately the
remedy for the trouble is simple. A
mixture consisting of equal portions OF
chloroform and ether will remove the
| spots at once.

A FelOw-FeeIing.

Gus policeman leaned against lamp

He saw the policeman and paused.

in a rusty-hinge whisper, "kin ye give
me a few pennies fur mites lodgin'?"
This supreme audacity-the idea of
a plaiu, ordinary tramp asking pc
cuniary assistance from an officer of
the law-affected that individual so
strongly that his eyes protruded and
he gasped:
'Git or I'll run you in" he hissed
with the first returning breath.

IT'S AWFuLLY COMMON.
And 1t Isn't So Awful as Some People
Seem to Think.

In Mrs. Oliphant ~Life of Principal
Tullech" of ST. Andrews, at p. 237, we
find DR.. Tulloch speaking of some one
as @an awful Tory" Mrs. Oliphant
says in footnote:
"Lest the principal should be accused
of slang, may say that the adjective
is strictly Scotch, and had been en-
ployed for generations by people fond
of strong speaking, before it crossed
the border, and gave to the youth of
England a freshly energetic, if in
elegant word"
think, says Notes and Queries, we
ought to have some reason to congra-
| tulate ourselves on the introduction of
the prevailing use of this word, for it
has taken the place of very much
more Objectionable one. Before awful
came into use, the ordinary word was
id. Fifty or sixty years ago it
was used exactly where awful is now,
merely as expressing a superlative
sense, without any bad meaning at
tached to it. A man might be ID
lucky" as well as unlucky; and how
ever foolish the present use is, it is a
very great improvement on its pre-
decessor. l believe the use came part
ly from Sir Walter Scott's novels
awful" is common expression in
Scotland, and was so long before its
adoption into English, though not, 1
think, ever used to express anything
pleasant.
One is accustomed to complaints
about the use of intensive adjectives
and adverbs of this kind. Perhaps, as
Mr.. Dixon thinks, they deserve the
epithet SILLY" At all events, they
have been spontaneous expedient in
all ages. Swift, writing to Stella,
thinks it fitting to describe the weather
as "bloody hot" In Lowland Scots
the words "odious" and "horrid" are
still ased in the same way. "How is
your mother to dayP" "Oh, she's
odious weel, thank your; or, as have
often heard. "She's just odious, thank
ye," meaning she is in excellent health.
"That's horrid weel done" may be un-
derstood as high encomium.
Awful and awfully, or their equiva-
lents, used in the sense of "very," sex
ceedingly," are more than two centu-
ries old at lest. In Moliere's "Les
Precieuses Ridicules," 1869, Madelon
says, "furieusement bien," terrible
ment bon, "une delicatesse furieuse y

PURE AIR AND EXERCISE.
If One Tries These Two Remedies He
VIII Soon Get Well.

Exercise, as we'll as pure air, helps
US in our constant struggle against the
poisons that we manufacture within
ourselves. 1t does this by driving the
blood charged with oxygen, by means
of the pressure of the muscles called
into play, more thoroughly through
the tissue; and thus it would quicken
the breaking down of dead tissue into
its safe and final waste products (wa-
ter, carbonic acid and urea), and
shorten the period during which the
dead tissue was passing through vari-
Gus dangerous forms which it tempo
rarily assumes. From this fact we
may infer that the man of sedentary
life, above all others, requires pure air.
In truth, pure air and exercise are
equal forces acting in the same direc-
ton They both get rid of waste, and
with it of the poisons in the system
which are depressing various organs
We need not, therefore, be surprised
when we are told by Sir d. Galton that
after barracks were better ventilated
creased; or by "the pathetic story" of
certain seamstresses whose work-room
was ventilated, and who then begged
that the old state of things might be
restored, as their appetites had in
creased beyond their earnings. Sir D.
Galton gives another experience, illus
trating the Oppressive effect of these
poisons upon the functions of life A
New York medical man, according to
the Popular Science Monthly, rather
cruelty shut up some flies without
food, some in foul air, others in pure
air; the pure air being constantly
changed. To his surprise, the flies in
the pure air died first, these dying
from simple starvation; while the flies
in the foul air died from poison, and
with the tissue of their bodies unex-
hausted, indicating how the functions
of life were carried on to the last
where oxygen was available, but had
been slowed and depressed by the
presence of the poison, so that life was
actually maintained longer in the foul
than in the pure air.

A Good Comrade to Her Husband

The first white woman to travel
through the wilderness of Ontario was
Mrs. Turnbull White, who is now col
laborating with her husband in the
production of book descriptive of her
adventures. She is a slight woman,
with pathetic blue eyes, curly brown
hair, and a complexion tanned and
roughened by the sun and wind. She
has plucky, determined air and the
least bit in the world of a swing in her
walk, suggestive of staying power and
