Some few people will conceive the
notion that as matter of principle
they ought to refrain from tipping
and they will try it for few days
and then will conclude that for the
sake of their own peace of mind
they'd better tip They'll continue
confirmed 'tippers' for the rest Of
their days,

age to rebel against the tipping sys-
tenn than it does to revolt against
almost any other social custom. |

low citizens, and it was generally felt
that he was destined in the future TO
be man of great prominence. Neal
Dow was especially interested at this
time in the advocacy by James AD-
pleton of legislative measures prohib-
iting the making or sale Of intoxi-
cants in Maine. In 1897 Mr.. Apple
ton had presented q report to the
Legislature in favor of these prohibit
tive measures and the cause was
warmly embraced by Neal Dow.
Though he toiled laboriously to have
Mr.. Appleton's resolution embodied
n law, yet his efforts were for a
long time without avail, and it was
"a 1851 that he finally was successful.
On the breaking out of the war Mr..
Dow felt it his duty to go to the
front, and December 81, 1861, he
vas appointed Colonel of the Thir-
tenth Maine Volunteers, and with
ais regiment he joined Gen. Buffers
expedition to New Orleans. Here he
served with great bravery and proved
A military leader of ability and skill.
He was always great friend of Gen.
Butler a&d upon the latter's death a
short time ago he delivered an elo-
4uent address in praise of the great
eader. April %, 1862, Col. Dow was
appointed Brigadier General of Vol
Inteers and placed in command of the
forts at the mouth of the Mississippi
md afterward of the whole district
II Florida The next year in the at
tack on Fort Hudson he was wounded
twice and while lying in a house near
0y was taken prisoner. Eight months
Vt Imprisonment at Libby Prison and
Mobile followed, during which he
suffered greatly. He was then ex-
changed, and November so, 1864, he
resigned. Gen BOWS military career

has always been proud of it and only

Bow tn pro,uua1 Marriage.

One of the great social problems OF
he day is to explain why so many
manageable women never marry.
Some say thai it is owing to an ex-
cess in numbers of women over men,
in consequence of which there are
not husbands enough to go around.
This. however, is disproved by Stats
tics. Take the world through, and
the figures show that there are as
many men in it as there are women.
Others attribute it to the expen.
siveness of modern life. Men do not
marry because, it is said, they cannot
afford to- But the fact is that no
man who truly loved woman ever
hesitated to become engaged to her
and eventually marry her because OF
poverty. There are cold FLOODED men
with no feeling for a woman stronger
than a languid admiration, who may
be deferred from assuming what they
regard as burden in the shape of a
wife unless assured of a liberal in
come, but most men are not 81 cal
culating.
Others, again, attribute the evil to
womens fastdiousuess They eX-
pect too lpuch In husband. and,
waiting for an impossible shadow. let
the possible substance slip through
their fingers. This is libel on the
SEX As rule, they are no more
fastidlous than men are, and just as
susceptible as men to that enehant-
ment Of love which invests its object
with every perfection and covers up
every fault. So far as men and wo-
men themselves are concerned, they
are as prone to matrimony now as in
any period of the worlds history.
Nevertheless, the women are wait
ing for husbands and not getting
them. Every social circle is full of
them. Every watering place has it's
score or more of them, who come
YEARLY. season after season, and eX-
hibit themselves in vain in the mat
rimonial exchange They are pretty,
they are accomplished, they are sem
sible, and under proper training they
would make excellent wives and
mothers; but they never get chance.
What seems to be needed is more
thorough method of bringing men
and women into social contact with
one another
The great trouble, therefore, seems
to be to get together and acquainted.
If some of our philanthropists would
set about the work, and by some
means secure more easy mode of
getting manageable young men and
women together, they would be doing
an unSpeakabe amount of good. -

Something About the History OF This
LoathSome Disease.

1t is a singular fact that epidemics
have sort of periodicity. After an
outbreak and extensive spread, a dis
ease generally disappears for term
of years, for while it remains here
and there endemic, it shows no ten
dency to become epidemic. Then at
length it starts afresh, and sweeps
perhaps from nation to nation.
About twenty years ago there was
a severe epidemic of smallpox in En-
gland and America In recent
months the disease has been causing
alarm in many parts Of England and
Scotland. Up to the middle of jan
uary it was preyailing-th though in
general the cases are of mild type
In about fifty localities, including
Liverpool, Manchester, Edinburgh
and Glasgow. In the last city thirty
four new cases occurred within ten
days previous to the report.
The Lancet says: "The story is a
serious one at this especial season OF
the year. No newly imprOyised hos
pitfalls can be expected to stay the
spread of the disease"
England contends with the pest at
a disadvantage. Many persons Of in
fluence do not believe in vaccination,
write against it, aud oppose it In
every way they can. The opposition
has grown greatly during the long
absence of the epidemic.
According to the Lancet the vac
cinatiOn laws are practically in sus-
pense. In some districts many chill
dren have never been yaccinated.
Even where the letter Of the law
has been complied with, vaccination
has been done in very lax and un-
trustworthy way, and there has been
an almost entire absence of revac-
cination.
Again, the large class of tramps
and the many filthy lodging-houses
into which they crowd at night great
ly aid in the spread of the disease.
At Manchester a man was found
suffering from smallpox at large
lodging-house The Inspector made
arrangements for his removal, but as
soon as the officers lack was turned
the patient bolted from the house,
and when he was captured some
hours later, he was believed to have
infected a considerable number Of his
fellows
If the epidemic reaches this coun-
try we shall not expect it to spread
extensively, for the laws respecting
vaccination are intelligently carried
out. STILL the large immigrant pop
ulation will need looking after, and
lCdging-houses will need rigid in
spection.
Reyaccination should be properly
attended to. The authorities also
should promptly provide means for
the isolation of patients. -Youth's

NAPOLEON'S DREAM.
How the Great Emperor Proposed to In
wade England.

fauc
Napoleon frequently spoke Of the
invasion of England; that he never
intended to attempt it without a SUI
periority Of fleet to protect the flo
tilla This superiority would have
been attained for few days by lead
ing ours cut to the West Indies and
suddenly returning. If the French
fleet arrived in the channel three or
four days before ours it would be suf-
fcient. The fotilla would immedi-
ately push out, accompanied by the
feet, and the landing might take
place on any part of the coast, as he
would march direct to London.
He preferred the coast of Kent,
but that must have depended on
wind and weather. He would have
placed himself at the disposal of
naval officers and pilots to land the
troops wherever they thought they
could do 50 with the greatest secur-
ity and in the least time He had
1000, 900 men, and each Of the fotilla
had boats to land them. Artillery
and cavalry would soon have followed,
and the whole could have reached
London in three days. He armed the
fiotilla merely to lead us to suppose
that he intended it to fight its way
1 across the channel. 1t was only to
deceive us.
1t was observed that we expected
% be treated with great severity IN
use of his succeeding, and he was
asked what he would have done had
he arrived in London. He said II
was difficult question to answer, fol-
people with spirit and energy, like
the English, was not to be subdued
even by taking the capital. He would
certainly have separated Ireland from
Great Britain. and the occupying Of
the capital would have been death
blow to our funds, credit and com
merce. He asked me to say frankly
whether we were not alarmed at hi:
preparations for invading England. -

oldest Creatures Under the sun.

DO readers know that the royal
Bengal tiger is infested by the
strangest parasite known to science?.
Naturalists declare that it is a fact
easily demonstrated by anyone who
has access to geological garden (the
writer does not pretend to have per-
sonal knowledge of the fact) that the
web of the feet of all tigers of the
aboved-named species is inhabited by
a blood.sucking insect about the sizs
of common flea, which Is a perfect
counterparto of tiger In every partic-
ular, shape, claws tall and stripes in

wonderful? If IL be fact that this
remarkable creature does live on the
foot and suck the blood OF the tiger
IL Is the most startling fact that a
naturalist could boast OF knowing.

Neal Dow was born at Portland,

A Detestahle Character.

The slanderer has ever been re-
garded as a most detestable char
acter; and the person who commits
the iniquity must expect the severest
retaliation. Few would err in this
respect, if they would but consider
that they provoke the same conduct
in others which they exhibit them
selves. We are none OF us immacu-
late; and the most irrepr0achable
cannot afford to fling a stone at a
neighbor. Indulgence in scandal OF
any kind is disgraceful occupation
Of time, and tends in no small de-
gree to vitiate the heart and weaken
the understanding. tits the pastime
of the idle and the corrupt, and nc
virtuous man or woman will stoop
to the indignity. Based on false
hood, calumny, and envy, it exposes
those who pursue it to similar treat
ment at the hands-or, we should
say, when abiding to the ladies,
mouths-of those whom they have
detracted, and by and by 1t is a con-
test between the parties who shall
be the cleverest and most racy in.
ventor and unblushing detractor.

The presence of precious stones in
the vicinity of these cOrpses, with
flint darts, spear-heads, stone axes

Many gowns have capes to match
them, and these will be the favorite
wraps for spring and summer wear,
though there are coats and jackets for
those who want them. The latter are
much shorter, having returned to the
length of three years ago; they have
the Tapped and double-stitched seams,
fasten with large pearl buttons, and
have one, two, or three full shoulder
capes; some of these capes are cut to
quite point both front and back, and
are plated very full. AS standard
garment, cloth capes twenty-eight in
ches long, in black, navy blue, and tan,
are shown; these have shoulder-capes
of velvet or cloth, and are usually silk
lined. They are cut very full, often
measuring four and half yards in
circumference. easter Hats
