Mems High Priced Shirts.

There was time when all linen shirts
were generally worn by the rich men OF
the town, and there are number of the
old guard and many of the younger men
of the town that pay so much as twelve
dollars each or S144 per dozen for their
fine white all linen shirts. These are
with and without collars and cuffs.
The laundrymen do not get chance at
them. Some old fashioned retainer
handles them tenderly and gets the
homelike, dull finish on the starehea
shirt front.-Clothier and Furnisher.

Alexander Graham Bell and the tele-
phone have been synonymous terms for a
dozen years or more. Bells career presents
one of the most remarkable Monte Christie
romances in this country of rapid fortune
making. Bell was penniless boy in Edin-
burgh thirty years ago. He came to this
country in 1872 and finally became q teacher
in deaf and dumb school in Boston From
boyhood the idea of speech transmission
had been an undercurrent of thought with
him, and he has frequently said that long
before 1870 we would one day speak by
telegraph. The telephone WIS the result
of years of patient labor and Investigation.

draw for supplies of energy and heat
when required. 1t is stated that in the
Franco-German war of 1870 the German
emperor. acting on the strongly ex-
pressed opinion of Ebstein, that muscu-
lar fatigue could be best supported on
fat, gave orders that each soldier should
have served out to him $50 grams of

Some time ago paragraphs were print
everywhere telling that Partisan wom-
en- exhaled permanent perfume from
their persons by injecting few drops of
scented liquid beneath the skin. thus
odorizing the actual blood! Then phy-
sicians took it up and asserted that wom-
en- in so doing ran serious risk of blood
poisoning, and the perfume injecting fad
was apparently nipped in the bud-only
apparently, however, for it has cropped
out again, armed now with medical au-
thority against its harmfulness.
And it is recited that the idea was dis.
covered by a physician who, in using
eucalyptus hypodermically as remedy
for phthisis, found that the skin and
breath Of the patient became tainted
with the pungent and disagreeable odor.
So he tried perfume injections to coun-
teract this, with good results. and to-
day, for fifteen shillings, in Bond street,
the whole outfit-essence. syringe, ETC.
may be procured. Probably the kit is
also on sale in New York, or if not now
it soon will be.
1t is to be hoped few women will take
to the practice. The question of blood
poisoning does not seem to be definitely
settled, but aside from this consideration
there is something sickening in the idea
of pertaining the blood! Good blood
does not need it. Put plenty of red cor
puscles in it by good air, cleanliness and
good living, and the aroma of health will
be the result-more wholesome and de-
sirable than that of crushed roses or
"violets thrice distilled. Her Point of

An Era of Unmarried women.

Susan B Anthony is of the opinion
that we are on the verge of an era of I'M
married women Our civilization, she
says, is changing Daughters cannot be
supported at home, and there is nothing
there to busy them. The women used to
spin and weave, make carpets and soap,
but now all that is done for them in the
factories. Young men do not make
enough money to support their wives,
and there is such craze for dissipation
among them that the women would
rather go into store for almost nothing
than to marry.-New York Sun.

Few poets had more admirers among
women than Whittier had, and this adj

One day his sister. in her slow, Quaker
fashion, was describing these eruptions:
Thee hast no idea,' she said. "of the

these people on the streets. Sometimes
he comes home and says, Well. sister, !
had hard work to lose him. but have
lost him." To this Whittier pathetic

CYCLING ron ctsitp asN.


Great Care sbonId he Takes That nn5usy
Does Not Result from II.
Dr.. e. B. Turner, In considering the
question whether young children BE-
tween this ages, say Of six and twelve,
should be allowed to cycle, and II al
lowed how much they may indulge IN
the pastimc without mourning the risk
OF injury, maintains that the subject i
one ON which no man can pronounce
Dramatically or lay down Strict and IN
variable rules concerning. What for
one small boy or girl might be merely
healthy and beneficial exercise, for an
other might mean physical ruin. But
while each case must be judged on its
merits, one fundamental principle must
be clearly enunciated namely, that no
young child with any organic weakness,
whether Of heart, lungs, joints OF nerv-
cus system, should be allowed to mount
: machine under any circumstances
whatever
Setting aside such natural disqualif-
cations, the exercise Of cycling. properly
regulated and adjusted to the capabilities
Of the individual, is unquestionably one
Of the best forms Of recreation that can
be partaken Of BY children Of both sexes
ct an early age. 1t develops the body,
and the self reliance and resource en-
tailed by the management of machine
tend to strengthen and enlarge the mem
tai and intellectual faculties A few
simple precautions, however. may insure
good and avert evil results. As to the
age that q child should begin, for most
children six is quite early, and even for
some six is too early. Great care should
be taken in choosing and fitting ma
chine to . young rider. An old. II fitting
crock may produce deformity on disease.
Two things that must be insisted on Ia
buying either bicycle or tricycle. for
: young rider are that the peak Of the
saddle should be two inches behind the
crank axle, and that the handles should
be 80 brought around and back that the
child can sit perfectly upright on the
machine. As to the distance the child
may ride no absolute rule can be laid
down. Overexertion must be carefully
guarded against, and sleepless night
and q distaste for food is one Of the indi-
cations that the system is poisoned by
the products Of its own waste. It must
be remembered that excessive speed il
more injurious than excessive distance,
and excessive hill climbing than either.
| The conclusion arrived at by DR.. Tur-
ner is that sound child, six years old,
properly fitted with a machine, and rid
ing in proper form and position, may
cycle within the limits Of moderation
and derive benefit and suffer no harm
from the exercise.-St. Louis Globe

How 1t Is Proposed to Carry a Telegraph

The business partner of one of the
directors of the company formed to
build the telegraph line from the cape
to Cairo has given the Pail Mall Ga
zette some interesting information
Capital has been subscribed to the ex-
tent of seven hundred thousand dol
lars, which Is considered sufficient to
carry the line as far as Uganda. The
materials are now being ordered in
London and will be shipped shortly.
The poles are to be of iron of light con-
struction, in order to outmaneuver the
white ants, who would eat away wood
en- poles. From Salisbury the line is
to be carried to Tete, on the Zambesi,
and from thence to Blantyre. There
Consul Johnston will report the result
of his surveys as to the best manner of
proceeding on to Uganda, and the con-
structing party will have to come to
terms with the natives and Arabs by
substituting the chiefs and others of in
fuence. There will be nothing in the
way of impenetrable undergrowths or
rank vegetation to contend with, as the
line will avoid the low country and
keep to the high plateau the entire dis
tance. There are two alternative
routes for the conveyance of the ma
terials. There Is good transport from
the Transvaal to Fort Salisbury, or a
shorter route would be adopted II ma
terials were shipped direct to Beira,
carried along the railway now being
built as far as it extends, and then con-
veyed the rest of the distance by OK
wagons. The scheme is being pushed
forward with great activity now.

A Woman Who Holds the Peace of Flu

1t is the popular idea that in the
hands of the czar of Russia lies the
fate Of Europe The situation is some
thing like this: One the one hand is
the triple alliance-Germany, Austria,
Italy. On the other hand is unrestful
France, and, through its natural enmity
to Germany, Russia for an invincible
ally. Russia, with its legions of men,
machines, its cannon, its war ships, its
gold ready to be thrown against the
peace of Europe, is at the command
If one mind, one will-that of the car.
No other such potentate exists on
earth. Yet the popular idea, 1t seems,
Is wrong. Not In the hands and at the
will of this powerful monarch lies the
peace of Europe. 1t rests between the
gentle, trail palms of woman, the
czars mother-in-law. According to M.
de Blowitz, in an article on the situa-
ton in Europe in McClure's Magazine,
but for the queen of Denmark Europe
would be battle-ground, and the civil
lied world would resound with the
groans OF the wounded and the cries OF
the women and children who are be-
reft The queen of Denmark loves the
young Emperor William, whom she af-
fectionately calls my angel" The
czar loves the mother of his wife. 1t
is her gentle diplomacy that brought
about the meeting of reconciliation be-
tween the two emperors at Kiel lis
to crafty the kindly affection and not
to grieve the affectionate heart of a
woman in her declining years that
the two proud young turkey-cocks of
emperors are forbearing to slay one
snother's subjects and drench Europe
in blood. Surely the power of affec-
ton and the influence of woman was
never shown in a more interesting
manner. But what is best worth re-
marking is that the destiny of Europe
Is in the keeping of mother-in-law.
