1t will seem strange to the Ameri-
can woman, with her Declaration of
Independence traditions, to hear that
the Director Of the French Opera mas
assumed the authority to make a
hard and fast rule with respect to
ladies bonnetS Even small bonnets
are forbidden altogether for the &C.
cupants of the pit stalls on Saturdays
that being the only night when ladies
are admitted to this part OF the house.
Formerly the stalls at the French
Theater were inNaria bly, reserved for
men only, but one after another their
rules relaxed until the only one where
it is retained absolutely is the Thea
ter Franchise Ever since the Ques-
Lion OF bonnets has been constantly
mooCed, but hitherto without any
actual result, il being so much against
the habit for ladies to appear in even
ing dress in such places that no one
under the rank Of an Opera-director
could have ventured on their adopt

They worship idols of wood. which
are nothing but carved pots, with

Their fighting weapons are spears
and bows and arrows. In some Of
the islands the natives, owing TO the
danger of being taken by surprise in
war, construct their houses in trees,
ascent to which is had by rope lad

Christianize them, but the result has
been far from satisfactory. A mis-

Many muscular men succumb to fatigues
borne with ease by persons far their interiors
in physical strength. Muscle does not i'm
ply vigor. In fact, it is not difficult of proof
that athletes do not live as long nor enjoy as
good health as the average individual who is
vigorous-that is to say, whose digestion and
sleep are unimpaired, whose nerves are
tranquil, and who has no organic tendency
to disease. These requisites of vigor are CON
ferred upon those inherently weak, no less
than upon those debilitated through wasting
disease, by thorough, persistent course of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the leading ma
tional tonic, Endorsed and recommended by
physicians of eminence. 1t will not endow
you with the muscle of Corbett, but it will

Women, said well-knOwn physi
clan, are breaking down more rapidly
than men. The reason OF this is that
they allow themselves to take less
real rest. When a man drops bust
ness, he drops it. When a woman
lets go Of any work she may have in
mind, she ties it to her apron strings,
as it were. She has been taught
through long years OF training that
it is high crime and misdemeanor 10
let anything escape her mind. So,
when she is supposed to be at est, she
is constantly pinching herself to see
If she hasn't forgotten something. In
this way she carries her burden into
her resting hours, and sits down
among the roses of relaxation with
her foot on the treadIc that turns

Publishers Rejection OF Manuscript Of
ten the Exact Opposite.

| A Publishers Rejection of Manuscript OF.
ten the Exact Opposite.
If man wanted to be cynical he
might easily be led to the statement
that to have a manuscript refused by
publisher is becoming to be a sure
indication that it has merit And
according to the Philadelphia Times
| latter day experiences would, in a
measure, give color to such a belief.
The author Of THE Heavenly Twins"
is the latest author to acknowledge
that her book was refused by every
publishing house of Importance in
London. She sent it from one to an
other until the manuscript became
so SOiled that she was compelled to
recOpy it. Only last winter was she
able to find publisher daring enough
TO issue it, Now that the book has
sold over 10000 copies all the pub
fishers are bidding for Nine. Grand's
next novel. Rudyard Kipling re-
Gently told the same story of his "Sol-
diers Three" which no publisher
would undertake. Five publishing
houses turned Conan Doyle away
with his micah Clarke" although
now one of these self-same publishers
pays Doyle the highest copyright on
his books. Clarke Russell recently
said in print, too, that he could not
induce either an editor or publisher
to look at his Wreck of the Gros
venor, which made his fame six
months after it was published. Rider
Haggard's Dawn" also went the
rounds of the publishing world. Rob
ert Louis Stevenson could not get a
hearing at first, and now wreaks his
Vengence on the three houses which
refused him by never allowing them
to have book by him on their lists.
Walt Whitman told me Of the refus-
ais of his Leaves of Grass" by the
publishers. Prof. John Bach McMas-
ter's History" was refused by three
New York houses Mrs. STANDARDS
BOTTLES Baby" Endorsed even by
John RuSkin, was rejected by six ed
itors. Richard Harding Davis short
stories were sent back by three news
paper editors. Justin Mccarthy
printed his first book himself because
no publisher would do it for him.
And SO it goes, and one might pro-
long the list with similar instances
of Longfellow and Browning, who
both printed their first books of verse;
of Mr.. Howells, of Austey's "Vice
Versa" of Jerome X. Jerome, whose
idle Thoughts" was pronounced |
rubbish by a leading English pub
Usher, although 1850 copies of it
have now been sold.

Pacific Ocean Group Where the Natives

Pacific Ocean Group Where the Natives
Are Cannibals.
England has formally established a
protectorate over the Solomon islands
"a commercially unimportant group
in the South Pacific ocean. The group
comprises six large islands, with
thirty small ones, and is inhabited
by the dark Papuan race. Some of
the islands have mountains rising to
an altitude OF $500 feet. The land is
generally fertile, yielding cocoanut,
bread fruits, yams and sago, and may
be cultivated for sugar and cotton.
The natives are in a savage condi-
ton, especial. y in the northern islands,
where they are fierce bread-hunters
and cannibals. The men wear no

SENATOR GORDON'S SPEECH.

| There was ALI unusal scene in
the Senate the other day when
Gen. Gordon made his speech
declaring that the men of the South
who had fought for the Confeder-
acy, were ready, now that insur-
reetion threatens the destruction Of
law ana the overthrow of the gov
eminent, to take up arms in che
defense Of the country For fifteen
minutes after Gen. Gordon had
closed his stirring and patriotic
speech the Vice President held up
his gayel in order 10 allow full
vent for the enthusiasm on the floor
and in the galleries OF the Senate.
Among those who heard the speech
were Sickles and Curtis of the
Union Army. and they manifested
their appreciation by embracing
the distinguished Georgian, and as
serting that his speech would do
more good to quell the disorder
and rebellion In the West than
brigade of soldiers. while Rcpub-
lican Senators crowded around him
and wrung his outstretched hands.
Gen. Gordon's reply to the remarks
of Senator PETER was SO fiery,
eloquent and unexpected that 1t
fairly lifted the Senator off its feet.
Gen. Gordon spoke as follows:
At q time like this-when the
peace of great communities is not
threatened, but broken; when the
law is detied; when a great central
city, one of the first in this OF any
other land, has its prosperity threat
ened by a reign Of blood, and fire,
and terror; when great commune
ties are looking hither and thither
for some method of escape from the
terror which surrounds them; when
our very civilization, not to say
the form Of government under which
we live. is heavlng under q mad
groundswell OF great agitation,
it seems to me that any representa-
tive on this floor has descended
very far from the lofty plane of
craftsmanship and patriotism who
stands at such an hour to appeal
for party. What matters 1t to us
whether we be Republicans or
Democrats what matters it to any
lover Of his country on which side
we stood in the great American
conflict in the past, SO now we
stand shoulder to shoulder for the
peace of the country, for the
enforcement of its laws, for the
support of its dignity and the per-
petuity Of its personal iberties---for
liberties Of the people! l do not
speak on subject like this from a
Southern standpoint; 1 will not.
1t matters not to me whether tue
woe which threatens Chicago be
Western or Eastern or Northern
Or Southern---it involves in its
meshes the rery life Of this republic,
which is republic of law and
order, il it is republic at all.
We are a peculiar people. We
are people who govern their
By vote, by ballot, and the
will Of the people is its laws and
when the will Of the people fails
% support the law, the government
must become defunct. We have
