That an eccentric young lady should oc,
casionally leave her fathers comfortable
hsme and take to tho woods need not cause
when VIZ get accounts, us we have been
getting them lately from widely separated
portions Of the coantry, Of young ladies
who arc impelled by some inscrutable i'm
pulse to abandon the protection and com
forts of respectable homes with no other
apparent motive than IN irrcpressible de
sire for freedom one begins to wonder IL,
after all, these abandoned homes are what
they ought to be to young women.
1t seems hardly credible that a girl nur-
tured in love md tenderness, whose sense
of duty hos been kept equal to her sense OF
freedom and whose affections are ground.
ed in wholesome objects, will abandon all
that Is best and most enduring in her life
and character at the bidding Of u vagrant
impulse.
1t is just possible that some Of our girls,
who's parents are irreproachable, have had
more liberty than Is good for them. 1t is
conceivable that there are reputable homes
which are little better than prisons; that
young ladies educated out of their corseta
ut Vassar return home to find that a moral
straitjacket Is waiting for them; that Il
course of Rider Haggard and lola and
Bourget at school is not compatible with a
COURSE Of 'Tfmothy Titcomb'' and Boye-
sen and watered milk at home. 1t is quite
comprehensive that girls who nave tasted
Of the forbidden fruit of literature will be
dissatisfied with the dried apples and
prunes Of the paternal establishment.
1t Is not unw~arrant;pble to assume fur.
Their, when an intelligent young lady sud.
denly abandons her home without obvious
cause, thatfthere is either something wrong
In the young lady or something wrong in
the home. Certainly that home ought to
hold her in sacred bonds until such time as
she con be handed over either to a home of
her own or TO some worthy ambition that
will engage all her mature impulses. In
too many cases it does not appear TO be
able to do SO. 1t has either allowed the
daughter to develop a mental profigacy
and an emotional responsibility that are
ness and bigotry the worthy activities that
have been born into a new sphere of posi-.
bic usefulness.
1t would be very interesting to inquire
how far the restlessness and aimless yearn.
ing of our times have infected those sacred
centers where society thought it vas pre-,
serving It's vestals. 1t is perhaps too large
an inquiry for a newspaper. But the sub
ject forces itself upon ones attention,
whether he will Or not, through the irrev.
ooable news columns. Even the casual
reader has to stop and ask himself IL the
American home is losing it's grip on the
American girl.-New York World.

The woman who has passed middle age
should appreciate the fact that her day for
low heckcd gowns has gone by. Possibly
she will tell You with pride that she was
always noted for the piumpness md beauty
OF her neck and arms. Undoubtedly that
was true, bat 1t was true 10 or ID years ago.

Law and Mother Love.

Law is law and must be respected always,
but there's a deal of human nature in the
popular sympathy freely expressed over in
Brooklyn with Mrs. Helene Schmidt in her
frantic fight for her 4-year-old girl. The
average human heart looks on the kidnap.
ing of a baby girl by the mother who bore
it as q very natural o%ffense, even if the court
is thereby brought into contempt. The law
concerning the custody Of children needs
revision, we think, in the direction Of a
broader recognition Of the great eternal
force of mother love.-New York Recorder.

Wear Old Gloves When Travelling.

"Some persons prefer to go ~barehanded
in the drawing-room-like luxury Of a par

"Others, regardless of the wear and tear
incident to any travel, don the daintiest
and freshest gloves when starting on a trip.
Now. ! believe In keeping clean handed, but
not at the expense Of good gloves. There
fore | carefully save all my shabby old

Why She Lost Her Hair.

A physician who was asked to prescribe
something for his patients rapid loss OF
hair asked her, "Aren't you in the habit of
wearing close, tight hats?" She considered
the matter for a moment and then answer
ed: "Now that I think Of it, l am rather
apt to choose a turban shape. They are
more becoming to me-" That, she was
told, was the main trouble. The effect was
similar to that produced by a mans stiff
derby or silk hat. And everybody knows
that men become bald much oftencr than
women.

Opium vs.. Alcohol,

The London Times publishes a
remarkable letter on the opium agi-
tation. The writer, Abdallah Nicer
Ali Dharamsi, a Mahomedan solic-
itor of Bombay, Fellow of the
University, and justice of the
peace, gives his experience in the
use of opium, both in Bombay and
his native province, Clutch. He de-
clares that, as compared with alco-
hol, it does no harm at all. The
quantity taken, he affirms, does
not increase with the habit; he
found opium eaters of from fifty to
eighty years old looking robust and
healthy, and he believes the habit
to be so rooted that prohibition
would produce smuggling, which
in the case of drug so small, and
so desired, cannot be suppressed.
He adds that its suppression, if it
could be effected, would be followed
by an immense increase in the use
of alcohol, which to all dark races
is most deadly. They cannot afford
wine, and drink only to be drunk.
He mentions, moreover, that prohi-
bition would not affect consump-
ton of itself, the Persian and Turk
ish drug being already in full de-
mand.

ORIGIN OF THE SPECIAL DEe-
PATCH LETTER.
How the Envelopes Were Made and
why They Were Withdrawn.
ORIGIN OF THE SPECIAL DES-
PATCH LETTER.


The story of the purchase OF
Hawaiian five cent numeral post
age stamp with barrel of salmon,
that was told in this paper few
days since, has excited good deal
Of curiosity among stamp collect
ors, many of whom have never
seen an original stamp of the kind
referred to, and cannot understand
how it could have been worth a
twelve dollar barrel of salmon
then, or 1896 now, as was stated.
And now it is learned that large
number of what were known as
the Especial Despatch Envelopes J"
have been found in the govern
ment treasury vault, which was
the receptacle for keeping all the
postal stamps not wanted for i'm
mediate use. As no one seemed
to know much about these envel-
opes, inquiry was made of Mr..
Whitney, who was postmaster-gen-
eral when they were printed in 1885,
who makes the following statement /:
These stamped envelopes were pre-
pared to use in the same way as
the special despatch stamps intro
duced into the American postal
service in 1884, and, which are
still in use there. They are used
whenever a message is sent through
the post-office requiring immediate
delivery. AS soon as one or more
are received at any Office they are
sent out by a special carrier and
delivered without delay to the ad-
dressed in person, precisely like a
telegraph message. The Hawaiian
envelope has a ten cent stamp on
it, and at the left the following is
printed in red ink:

The Wild Beet.

Probably few vegetables have
been developed to such a remark
able degree as the beet. The writer
has gathered it along the shores of
the south of Europe without find
ing the slightest trace of succu-

to the extent we find it in modern
gardens is extremely remarkable

As soon as these envelopes were
ready in 1885, notice was given of
the fact, but before any were actu-
ally issued, an order came from the
minister of the interior forbidding
their use, as his approval had not
been obtained. AS a consequence
they were relegated to the treasury
office and, so far as is known, none
went into circulation. Instances
now occur daily when such stamps
would prove great convenience in
business. Only the other day a
letter reached the postoffice late in
the afternoon, and just after the
box had been visited, with an in
teresting item of news for the morn
ing paper, which had to lie over a
day. Had these envelopes been in
use, it would have reached its des-
tination Immediately after its re-
ceipt at the Office.
There were only 2000 of these
envelopes prepared, and it is re-
ported that they have all been dis
posed of. Their value has of course
advanced, and they are quoted at
fifty cents each.
