THEIR FACES THEIR FORTUNES.
Many Pretty Girls That Are Employed for
Looks Only.

Many Pretty Girls That Are Employed for
Looks Only.
Many employers find it better
paying investment to hire pretty
women who are really incompetent in
certain capacities than to pay for more
skilled hands, yet who are plain look
ing. The girls need not be bit firta-
tious, but their pretty faces attract
custom that would drive elsewhere if
there were not some such strong mag
net to attract it in a certain direction.
Cashiers in drug stores where a soda
fountain is the principal avenue of
wealth are nearly always sweet-faced,
as their dainty appearance makes a man
feel thirsty for the sake of a word or
smile, when a sour-visaged creature in
the same place would cause the throng
to flock elsewhere for their ibations.
Barmaids are always as good looking
as can be obtained for the money
offered salesgirls are selected with
reference to their pleasing appearance,
mattresses command better wages
when they are neat and pretty-in fact,
in every branch of the business beauty
is great factor.
In those lines in which trade is to be
attracted, a woman's looks are re-
garded as paramount even to her
ability. In one instance that has come
directly under our personal knowledge,
radiantly lovely cashier knew SO
much about her business that she an
nounced the result Of adding twenty
and thirty-fve together as eighty-fve,
but she was not discharged, owing tc
her pretty face, and maybe because
the error was in favor rather than
against her employer.
Be that as it may, it is no ref ection
on the girls because they are chosen
for their attractive appearance. They
are simply pleasing bits of prettiness in
spots unaccustomed to the light of the
countenance feminine. Therefore, men
flock thither to contemplate and to adj
mire, and would rather buy of such or
pay their checks in through little
cage that holds pretty birding than
to be greeted by some coarse man or
unattractive female.
These pretty girls in business need
not be firts. They need not be the
least bit giddy, but they can please by
their ensemble, a fact which the en-
ployer realizes when he sizes up the APP
plicants for a vacant position and
chooses the loveliest and best form
among them.-Philadelp Times

BATTLES IN THE OCEAN.
The Warfare of Lower Animals Similar to
That of Man.

Recently lecture was delivered at
the Royal Normal college for the
blind before the Upper Norwood Lii
brary and Scientific society by DR..
Benham, of Oxford, on "War and It's
Effects as Seen in Marine Organisms"
At its close DR.. Conan Doyle, who is
the president, in proposing a vote Of
thanks to the lecturer, remarked that
DR.. Benham had spoken of the stru ggle
which is continually going on between
animals, as, for instance, between shark
and shark and mackerel and mackereI,
and so it was In our own daily lives.
Just as in animal life the weakest
went to the bottom and nothing more
was heard of them. 1t was only now
and again that they had some idea of
how strange a power life was. He re-
membered reading that of one thou
sand students that matriculated on one
occasion eight hundred and ninety
were uanccounted for. Life with us
was just as strange a power as in the
lowest animals. Although we do not
learn 10 develop spicules, as in the
case Of some of the fish which had been
illustrated by the lecturer, we do try
to improve and better ourselves. Curl
Gus as it might seem to some, just as
with the lower animals we are work
ing to some glorious goal. As we de-
velop it was possible, he humorously
remarked, men would be as far above
US as we are above the jelIvfsh. but
not in our time.-PalI Mall Gazette.

1t seems to be practically settled that
there will be no legislation by the pres
ent congress on the silver question or
the tariff question, the two absorbing
questions before the public, and it is
equally as certain that little else of a
beneficial character TO the public will be
accomplished. There never will be a
more favorable opportunity for the
friends of the Cherokee strip opening
movement to press that measure 20 a
favorable conclusion than the present
1t is hoped, therefore, that with the re-
assembling of congress the strip bill will
be pressed with the degree Of earnest
ness and persistency that Its Importance
demands With the strip opened state
hood will follow in short order as Il
natural sequence. Open the strip.

DOUGLASS FOR KER.

From the Lindsborg News.
OF all the candidates mentioned so far
for speaker of the next house Of repre-
sentatjves, the Hon. George L. Douglass
of Wichita is IN our opinion by far the
best equipped and most suitable one. He
has great experience, a splendid reputa-
llon in general and is therefore very
naturally regular favorite with those
who have worked with him in the house
before. We want legislation this time
more than ever before for the en-
tire state, aud Dir. Douglass of
Wichita is the kind of man for speak
er who will work in just that di-
rection. We are glad to add that Dir.
Douglass chances seem TO be very good.
As he is member of the great Seventh
district and a representative of the
staunch Republicans of Wichita which
did their duty to Hon. A. w. Smith and
the Republican party so nobly on Nov. S
our feelings would very naturally go III
his direction, even were he not so
distinguished gentleman and so
eminently qualified for the position in
question as now is the case. Yes,
Speaker Douglass sounds very natural
and very nice, don't it?

Kansas chances for a cabinet position
in the new administration seems to be
good, and increasing all the while. The
Globe Democrat, few days ago, con-
tanned Washington special, which, If
reliable, indicates that George w. Click
has excellent chances of being appointed
commissioner of agriculture. The arti-
Gle claims that Mr.. Cleveland was about
TO appoint Mr.. Click to the position after
his first Inauguration, but that Senator
Vest induced him to appoint Norman j.
Coleman, Of Mississouri. Missouri is
again 10 the trent with candidate in
the person of Colonel Hatch, and his
friends are more afraid of Click than
any other man spoken of for the posi-
tion. The Kansas Democracy are prac-
tically solid for the ex-governor, the
only thing about which there is any
doubt being which faction will have the
strongest pull on him. the stalwarts of
the fusionists. Both claim him as their

The record OF mortality among railway
employees IN Kansas for 1892 Is frighttul
TO contemplate. There were 242 killed,
the larger portion being brakemen. This
record emphasizes the demand for the
adoption of better method of coupling

a number of devices patented that are
entirely practicable, any one Of which
would remove the chief hazard 10 the
lives of trainmen, but the railroads do

The passengers of the steamer Umbria,
which vessel was detained at sea by the
breaking of the vessels shaft in mid
ocean, did not appear to take Brother
Moody's view of the ships and its pas
sengerS' and crews preservation and
safety. The good man expressed the
conviction that the Spree, on which he
was a,passenger with many others when it
met with similar mishap at sea a short
time ago, was saved from destruction by
Divine interposition in answer to prayer.
The Umbria's passengers thought that
vessel was brought safely to shore
through the superior skill and courage
of It's chief engineer and assistants, and
the grateful vovagers manifested their
faith and gratitude by presenting the
officers named with a generous purse.
The last act was altogether fitting and
proper, and did not imply that the dom
ors were unmindlul of Divine protection.
They probably appreciate the truth of
the declaration that God helps those
who help themselves" In the Umbria's
case, help came from its competent and
courageous officers, without whom The
vessel would probably have been lost.

THE RIGar THING 20 DO.

Sometime ago the EAGLE advised that
in the event that it was impossible to
elect a Republican senator, that the Re-
pubiicans should go with the Populists
rather than vote for a Democrat. At
first the su2g estion met with considera-
bic opposition, but the idea is growing
popular and many who at first opposed
it are now advocates of the scheme.
The greatest objection the Repub-
licans have to meet in casting
their vote for Populist is the character
Of the man, and as many of the aspir-
ants are so VIGOROUSLY unfit for the pos
ition that no selt-respecting Republican
could vote for them. The right thing
for the Populists to do is to put up their
most available man, and that man is
Governor-elect Lewelling. Lewelling,
by the canvass he made, his conduct and
speeches, did more to carry the
the state for the Populists than all the
combined asprant5 for the nomination
for that office did. The people, by their
votes, elected him governor, and to send
him to the senate would come nearer
meeting the choice of the people than
any other man. Besides, being the
logical thing to do, no Populist in the
state today is so we'll fitted for the posi-
ton. His utteranccs since his election
have convinced the people that he is
conservative, that he is strong intellect
ually, and has lots of good, hard sense.

Against Sunday Trains.
editor Transcript

Editor Transcript:
If we mistake not the temper of the
people of our Peninsula, there is an
overwhelming sentiment against the
running of trains on the Delaware
railroad and its branches on Sunday.
The conservative tendencies, character
istic Of our communities effected by
Sunday railroad traffic, may be noted
in the fact that no special opposition
has been awakened against the through
trains starting outside the limits Of
our commonwealth, and the hauling
of perishable through freight. We
are unwilling to believe the Railroad
company desire to inaugurate this Sun
day travel, because the wise and busi-
nesslike management of this Division
fully meets the demands of the people
and six days of timely trains is all that
is required and with these the great
mass of our people are satisfied.
The employees of this corporation,
are men who command the respect, of
the travelling public. There is no road
in the land more fortunate in the
selection of their men than this COM
p,ny has been. There is not position
Of responsibility but what there seems
to be a special adaptability upon the
part of the person for the place, and
the exemption from accident, strikes
and disturbances of all kinds, is suffi-
cient proof that no mistake has been
made in their choice. Why introduce
condition of things for which there
is no special demand, and which We
believe to be unnecessary. to unsettle
nine ont of ten of the men employed,
by compelling them to work seven days
of the week. Many of the most reli-
able men in places Of great response
bility are members of the churches,
men who recognize their obligations to
God and their fellow men. Why make
