WOMEN'S FAOS.

Ono of Them Is Mania for Hiding
Things from Burglars.
Every woman is possessed of some
mania in mild form, which, however,
is OF as pronounced a type, though less
aggressive, as that which has sent
many poor mortal to the insane asy-
lum. The New York Commercial Adj
vertiser claims that this is no rash
statement, but merely a study from
actual life. Take in your own family,
for instance: Do you not say: "Jessie
or Belle or Susie is absolutely crazy on
such and such a subject?' And though
the topics vary with the women the de-
mentia is not lessened one whit there
by. Look at the number of feminine
care-takers who have passion for hid
ing away their possessions, and so care
fully do they put them out of sight that
they themselves forget where the
place is when it comes time to find
them. Those people would Indignantly
resent any insinuation as to their san
ity, but does it seem possible that we'll
balanced minds will stow away a gold
thimble or a roll of bills in a pair of
rolled-up stockings, or put jewelry or
cash in the scrap basket or the CRATE,
and then, in less than twenty-four
hours, give the stockings away to
blind beggar, sell the contents of the
basket to the ragman and light a cozy
fire in the CRATE right on top Of the
most cherished possessions? Yet this
is done every day, if the papers speak
the truth; and who would have the
boldness to doubt the statements of the
press? Then again there are women so
morhidly afraid of robbers that it be-
comes mania with them, and every
night search begins under beds and
into dark closets, which, If successful in
its object, would turn their hair gray
in one night. When bedtime comes
they load themselves down with tho
family silver, which they carry up to
their sleeping apartments; every win
dow is not only bolted, but tin pans are
set at such angles that a burglars
breath would knock them over and thus
throw the timid creatures upstairs into
violent Mysteries, instead of putting
them on guard against the intruders, as
is tfe'intention OF the yvobblv kitchen
utensi1. Some women have a mania
for bargains and own yards and wards
of remnants in lengths and colors that
are simply useless, yet which, because
OF their craze, they could not possibly
resist buying. These are but few in
stances, but hundreds of others could
be cited. and certain it is that though
the writer and the reader of these lines
think themselves quite sane on every
point there is some flaw in their mental
armor that their friends could probably
dilate upon for hours.

The continued howl about recruiting
ana organizing the militia seems to us
to be unreasonable. The whole militia
~ power of a free people should be near
tie people and of the people. In fact,
the more nearly identical the people
and their military power. the safer are
the liberties of the people. What our
people need is less of a standing army
and more voluntary militia companies.
Armies and militia companies are for
the defense of the people, and nobody
can better defend the people than them
selves

TattOOing.

That the old world custom of tattooing
heraldic and other designs upon the
arms, back and chest of men is coming
into fashion here is shown by the pres
ence in the daily papers of ADVERTISE
ments offering to tattoo crests, coats of
arms, monographs, etc., at the clients
residence for the moderate sum of from
S. to $40. There are large number of
royal and imperial personages in Europe
who are tattooed, the Princess Waldo
mar of Denmark having an anchor tat
tooed on her shoulder as emblematic of
her husbands seafaring profession,
while several well known Parisiennes
have their fair shoulders adorned with
fowers-de-luce in token of their mon
archial preferences.

LIQUID Oxygen.

Liquid oxygen when first formed is
milky in appearance, owing to tho pres
ence of some impurity which may be re-
moved by passing it through ordinary
filter paper. When pure, it is of pale
blue color, which, however, is not due,
as some have thought, to the presence of
liquid ozone, which is of dark blue COL
or. Liquid oxygen is nonconductor of
electricity, but is strongly magnetic. 1t
may be lifted from cup by presenting
the poles of a strong electromagnetic. It
seems to have very slight chemical ac-
tivity, since it will extinguish a lighted
match and has no action on a piece of
phosphorus dropped into it. It is well
known that the A and B lines of the
solar spectrum are due to oxygen, and
from recent experiments on the top of
Mount Blanc it is thought they are
largely if not wholly due to the oxygen
in the earth's atmosphere. Professor
Dewar showed that these lines come out
very strong when liquid oxygen is inter
posed in the path Of the rays from an
electric lamp.-Science.
