THE COST OF CLEANLINESS
Neatness Cost More than Clothing, ss
This Table Proves.

The rich girl who is not good look
ing ought to be ashamed of herself
And the day is coming when she will
be. One can forgive the wife of a
poor man; the mother, servant and
slave of a lot of children, the bread
winners and wage-earners who are
harnessed to the load from morning
until night, for not being clean and
beautiful and wholesome. But there
Is no excuse for the idle daughter or
the well-kept wife. They should be
paragons in dress, lovely and lovable
of address, redolent of health and good
to look upon. Are they? Often-not
always. They are well dressed, but
rarely well shod. The boots are good,
but i'll kept. They have the latest
style OF coiffure, but their scalps are
not clean; the sheen of satin is not on
their hair. They are perfumed with
orris, lavender. lilac, benzoin, violet
and cOarser scents, but not of the
bath. The freshness of the boss baby
and the medal athlete is not apparent
Constitutional neatness is almost as
costly as keeping carriage. A young
woman who acts as almoner for a
couple of families said the other day:
Il would be almost beautiful if l could
afford TO be clean. but I can't"
She went over the leaves of a little
expense book that she carried in the
cuff of a sealskin jacket, worn bald in
places, and read these totals for one
month:
Car fare, So 10; hair brushing, 81;
shoe blacking, so cents; vapor baths,
50; feather curling, 60 cents; maid
service, $3.50.
My wig costs me 80 cents a week.

cheapest investment for clean scalp.

two expenses l might dispense with.

And She Believed Him.

1t was nearly midnight when the
young bride heard the front door soft
lv opened, and as he came up in his
stocking feet she dried her eyes and
determined that the time for action
had come at last.
This will never do, George" she
sand, with a steely glitter in her eye
that sobered him on the instant. "Per-
haps | wouldn't mind it so much in the
years to come, but our honeymoon is
barely over and here YOU stay out
nearly all night. Unless you promise
to stop I'll 90 back to my father"
Forgive me, my dear" he replied,
bracing himself for the supreme effort
of his life, for he knew the crisis had
come, and upon the result depended
whether marriage was TO be failure
or blooming success. Il know my
conduct must seem cruel to YOU, but
that is only because you know so lit

for the doctor has told me | have

shock was likely to kill me. That's
why, my dear,I must taper off gradual

DETERMINED TO ASSERT HER RIGHTS.
Bot Her Method of Doing So Was De-
cidedIy Unpleasant.

"When it comes right down to the
question of absolute equal rights be-
tween men and women" said one of a
little group of world d-movers dining at
an uptown hotel the other evening,
"there arise some curious complica-
tions. Equal rights, of course, imply
equal sponsibilities, equal risks, equal
hardships.
Il witnessed one of the oldest and
perhaps most extreme cases of this
kind last summer at seaside resort.
At the table.nearest mine in the dining
room of our hotel there sat man and
his wife who were spending the season
there, and with them the evening in
question were two or three acquaint-
ances.
when my attention was attracted
to their conversation it was evidently
at its climax, for words were flying
hot and loud, the chief contestants
being the gentleman's wife and one of
the acquaintances. | do not know
what was or had been the ground of
their dispute, but that it was a furious
and deep-seated one was too evident.
The lady especially was excited and
aggressive. She was known as a
'wOman's rights wCman,' n reformer,
philanthropist,and independent gener-
ally.
Her eyes were blazing, her cheeks
flaming, and she called down her
gentlemanly antagonist with a vim un-
pardOnable and-if it had been be-
tween two men-not to bc wiped out
by anything else than blood. The
husband had demonstrated several
times, but had been waved aside as a
mere iooker-on. At last. hcl words and
accusations becoming uncomfortable, the
gentleman sprang from bis seat. and,
losing his temper. threw down his
napkin in front of the lady, saying,
Madam, you are a woman and | can
neither fight nor insult you, but by the
eternal rights of mankind, if you have
q husband, father. brother, or any other
champion or henchman ! call him to
account for this.'
"By this time, of course, the whole
room was interested in the affair, and
the proprietor of the hotel Indignantly
inquired the cause of and excuse for
such an exhibition. Then the husband
rose to the occasion. Calmly taking
the gentleman's challenging napkin
from in front of his Wife's plate. he
tossed it in her antagonists face and
said: Sir, | am the lady's husband,
her father. brother, champion. and
henchman. | answer your charge, and
will settle this thing when, where, and
how yeu please-though, understand
me. fully agree with you in the issue
taken between you and utterly con-
denim my wife as wrong in her premises
and conclusions"
The narrator pushed his chair back,
according to the n. Y. World, drained
his glass and, looking from one to an
other of his listeners, asked: "Now,
gentlemen, what are we going to do
when that order of things is inaugural
ed?"
And they groaned in chorus.

Too Bright to Live.

II we were to look carefully into the
history of the lives of men of genius
we should find many names to add to
the list of those who committed sui
eide.
Hayden, the celebrated historical
pairter and writer, overcome by debt,
disappointment and ingratitude, laid
down the brush with which he was at
work upon his last grand effort, Alfred
and the Trial by jury" wrote with a
steady hand, stretch ME no longer
upon this rough world" and then with
a pistol shot put and end TO his un-
happy existence.
Richard Payne Knight, the poet,
Greek scholar and antiquary, was a
victim of melancholia and finally de-
stroyed himself with poison.
Burton, the vivacious author of "The
Anatomy of Melancholy, tho had the
reputation of being able to raise
laughter in any company, however
mute and mopish," was in reality con-
stitutionally depressed, and it is be-
lieyed that he ended his life in fit of
melancholy.
Kleist, poet and dramatist, brooded
over suicide, attempted it once unsuc-
cessfully, and finally, by agreement
with Henrietta Vogel, who believed
herself affected with an incurable dis
ease, repaired to small inn near
Potsdam, where they then ended their
lives together
Dessman, the humorous writer, like
Burton, put an end to himself in a fit
Of melancholy.
Sir Samuel Romilly, a man of brill
liant genius, by whose efforts the GRIM
inal laws of England were remodeled
a man loved for his sweet nature
and upright manliness s-while over
come by grief at the death of his wife,
with his own sought rest beyond

CITIES, OLD AND NEW.
Even the Dirtiest Modern Cities are Clean
Compared with the Ancient Ones.

1t is not many hundred years since
every city was a "plague-spot." Cities
were bpilt at random without plan,
and with no attention paid to santa
ton. Except by seeing what oriental
cities still are, we can form no ade-
quate idea of what European cities
were no longer ago than the sixteenth
century. In London, before the fire,
there were no sidewalks on many of
the most important streets of the city.
Many of the streets were as narrow as
our alleys and much more filthy. Very
often the upper stories of the houses,
projecting over the lower, would come
so nearly meeting across the street
that the sun could shine on the street
only for little while in the middle of
the day. Piles of filth accumulated in
the closets and alleys; the dead were
in close proximity to the living; there
was no drainage except OH the surface;
the mud of the streets, never removed,
would reek with only partly decom-
posed vegetable and animal matter,
and the only wonderis that any one sur
viyed at all in the terrible visitations
of pestilence invited by such condi-
tions.
We have gained n great deal since
then, remarks the St. Louis Republic,
but we have not yet gained safety
from epidemics, for the probable rea-
son that we have not yet learned how
to rid our cities of the presence of all
animal refuse. 1t is hardly doubtful
that nearly all contagious and infec-
tious diseases are due primarily to the
decay of animal matter. They are not
generated in this decaying matter, but
it is their breeding place, and where it
is present, with other conditions favor
able, epidemics will continue to show
themselves. As long as animal matter
decOmposes in our sewers our great
gain in knowledge will not guarantee
US immunity from plaques. though
with our modern cities we will suffer
far less than our ancestors did.
There is one sure preventive of epi-
demic. II is fire. If all refuse animal
matter were burned at once, there is
every reason TO believe that epidemics
would be prevented, though there
would be sporadic cases" of diseases,
liable to become epidemic whenever
there is animal filth sufficient to prop
agate enough of the disease germs to
give an epidemic it's start. 1t is PROF.
able that if London had not been
burned after the great plague it would
still be a breeding ground for that
dreadful disease and for every other.

LONGEST TUNNEL IN THE WORLD.
Now Under Construction Twelve Miles
Through the SimpIon Mountain.

The longest tunnel in the world will
be that now to be constructed through
the Simplon. According to the final
plans adopted it will have a length of
1916 miles, or 81 miles more than the
mouth will be situated about 1880
yards south of Brieg, at the little VIII
lage of I'm Raffi. and the southern 600
yards beyond Iyelle, just below the
present wall-gallery. About one-half
of the tunnel facing north will have
an incline of 1.5 per 1000 yards, just
sufficient to cause the water to run
off, while the southern portion will
have an incline of 6.5 per 1000 yards.
The process of boring will be the same
RS that followed with the Arlberg tun-
mel, says the n. Y. A0UeTtiSer. Work.
shops and depOts are to be established
on the right bank of the Rhone, close
to the northern entrance, at cost of
4,O00,00 francs.
The power of working required is
estimated at 1850 horse power, viz:
$40 for boring purposes, 7S0 for venti-
lation and 266 for electric lighting. etc.
i. e., at the end of the tunnel alone,
for which purpose the river Massa is
to be damned up. At the southern
side Il similar station is to be estab-
lished, which is calculated to cost s.
100000 francs and to furnish 2,760
horse power, derived from damming
up the river Cairasca. The total cost
of the remaining work is estimated
at 100000 900 francs, of which 3O,000,-
600 francs are contributed by the var
ious states interested in the scheme.
In order to facilitate the undertaking
track is to be laid on the road be-
tween Dornodossola and Iselle, while
in the borings are to be used Brandt's
rotary boring machines. 1t is calcu-
lated that the work will occupy eight
years and half.

THE ART OF FORGETTING.
Hau:lin Garland, the Western Aushor,
Draws a Clever Little Sketch

They lay on the cliff where the warm
sun fell. Beneath them were rocks,
lichen spotted above and orange and
russet and pink beneath.
Around the headland the ocean raw
ened with roaring breath. 1t dung
itself ceaselessly on the land, only to
fall back with clutching snarl over the
pebbles
The smell of hot cedars was ii the
air. The distant ships drove by with
huge sails bellying. Occasional crick-
cts chirped family. Sandpipers skim
med the beach.
The man and woman were both
gray. He lay staring at the sky. She
sat with somber eyes fixed on the dis
tant sea, whose crawling lines glittered
on i.s purple sweep.
They were man and wife: both were
older than their years. They were far
past the land of youth and love.
"Oh, wife," he cried, "let us forget
that we are old; let Us forget that we
are disillusioned of life; let us try to
be boy and girl again"
The woman shivered with power
ful, vague emotion, but she did not
look at him.
"Oh, Esther, I'm tired of life" the
man went on. I'm tired of my child
ren. I'm tired of you. Do you know
what | mean?"
The woman looked into his eyes a
moment, and said in a low voice:
No, Charles" But the man knew
that she meant yes. The touch of her
hand grew cold.
I'm tired Of it all. | want to feel
again the wonder and mystery of life.
It's all gone. The love we have now
the old time was sweeter. 1t was so
marvellous. i trembled when kissed

Of truth, of pure, unconscious passion
and less of habit. Oh. teach me to
forget"
He crept nearer to her and laid his
head in her lap. His face was knotted
with his passion and pain.
The wife and mother sighed and
looked down at his hair which was get
ting gray.
We'll. Charlie,7 she said, and buried
her fingers in his hair. III try to for

He could not understand her. He
did not try. He lay with closed eyes.
tired, purposeless. The sweet sea
wind touched his cheek. white with the
indoor pallor of the desk worker The
sound of the sea exalted him. The
beautiful clouds above him carried
him back to boyhood. There were
tears on his face as he looked up at
her.
"I'm for@tting.7 he said, with q
smile cf exultation.
But the woman looked away at the
yiolet-shadowed sails, affair on the
changeful purple of the sea, and her
throat choked with pain.
