COULDN'T FIND HER POCKET.
of a FOOtpad VIII
Knocked a Woman Down.

Misadventure of FOOtpad Who
Knocked Woman Down.
From the Chicago Herald.
One of the campaign stories the men
have sprung since this woman-voting rage
came up is that of the fate which over
took the footpad on West Madison street.
He is said to have been an especially
intelligent and slippery gentleman. and had
never suffered capture. Furthermore. he
had never had the bad Judgment to attack
a job which had nothing to yield him. Taken
altogether, there was plenty Of reason why
his cause should be championed. And yet
he was thrown down. by one of the de-
vices of woman.
He laid out half the night recently-or
else the story is wrong-waiting for the
return home Of one of the active man
ayers Of the woman campaign in the
And he knew she had money with her.
And he knew he was stronger than she.
And there you are.
But that man was made the unconscious
victim of popular craze. For. when she
came along and he struck her and she fell
down senseless ON the pavement-as good
a chance as any thug would want-and
he had started to find her roll, he met
the difficulty that must assail every men,
Der of the craft till women quit assuming
their rights and learn to dress differently.
He couldn't find her pocket. And while
he was searching for 1t, adding minutes
unto minutes, and growing more and more
ergrossed and more and more confused, q
policeman came along and gathered him in.
1t Is all right for woman to take the
place of man. But when she does she
should go full length in the matter and
put her money where a thief can find it
readily, as he can with her more simply
Constructed brothers.

COMING OF DEATH.
The Last Hours Are Usually Free
From Pain and Fear.

The Last Hours Are Usually Free
From Pain and Fear.
From Scribners Magazine.
Familiarity with death Is apt to alter
ones earlier conceptions Of 1t. Two ideas
are very generally accepted which expert
ence shows to be false. One is that the dy
ing usually fear death, and the other, that
the act Of dying Is accompanied by pain. 1t
Is we'll known to all physicians that when
death Is near its terrors do not seem to be
felt by the patient. Unless the imagination
is stimulated by the frightful portrayal Of
the supposed "pangs of DEATH" or Of the
sufferings which some believe the soul must
endure after dissolution, 1t Is rare indeed
that the last days or hours Of life are pass
ed in dread.
Oliver Wendell Holmes has recorded his
protest against the custom of telling per-
son who does not actually ask to know
that he cannot recover. AS that loving OBJ
server of mankind asserts so must every
one who knows whereof he speaks assert
that people almost always come to under
stand that recovery Is impossible; 1t Is
rarely needful to tell any one that this Is the
case. When nature gives the warning
death appears to be as little feared as sleep
Most sick persons are very, very tired; ;
seep-long, quiet sleeps what they want
seen one who seemed to fear death, except
when 1t was, or seemed to be, rather far
away. Even those who are constantly
haunted, while strong and well, with dread
of the end of life, forget their fear when
that end Is at hand.

SLEEPLEss NIGHTS.
The Scientific Explanation of the Alb
sence Of Natures RcstOrer.

The Scientific Explanation of the Alb
sence Of Natures RcstOrer.
From National Review.
Formerly sleep was believed to be de-
pendent en- q state Of comparative blood
lessness Of the brain, and by the condition
Of the circulation of the blood through that
organ the character and duration Of sleep
was held to be modified. This view Is still
regarded as correct by PSYCHOLOGISTS Of the
present day, but since physiological chem
istry has thrown more light on the process
es of repair and waste 1t has been shown
that, In addition to the part played by the
blood circulating through the brain, induc-
ing wakefulness or sleep according to the
increase or decrease in the rapldity Of the
circulation and the variation in the size Of
the blood vessels, the actual chemical con-
dition Of the brain cells also serves to de-
termine the existence Of sleep and wake
fulness.
AS the formation of clnkers in fur
mace reduces the fierceness of the flames
and interferes with the activity Of COM
bustion, so the accumulation Of fatigue
products within the brain cells, formed
during the waking hours. tends to induce
unconsciousness by reducing the activity
Of chemical action and interchange between
the blood, the vehicle Of nourishment, and
the brain cell needing replenishment.

KISSING AND HYGIENE.
The Custom Is Condemned on Sanitary
Grounds.

The Custom Ii Condemned on Sanitary
Grounds.
From the Popular Health Magazine.
Johannes Secundus in his Basia might be
thought to have dealt with the subject of
kissing from every conceivable point Of
view. but he lived in prehygienic days. says
the British Medical Journal, before the fear
of the ubiquitous bacillus had eclipsed the
gayety of nations. Preachers Of asceticism
used to condemn kissing on the ground Of
it's danger to the soul, but to the average
sensual man" the added spice of sin prob
ably made 1t all more delightful. Now the
apostle of sanitary perfection Is denouncing
kissing for its dangers to the body. The
Japanese, he tells us, are a hygienically-
minded people, and they never kiss. The
sanitary committee of the Orange, N. j.,
board of health has recommended that a
circular be sent out to all whom 1t may
concern urging every one to desist as
much as possible from kissing, as the touch
ing Of lips Is likely TO convey contagion."
That foul and deadly disease may be. and
often Is, propagated In this way, Is. of
course, a fact as to which there can be no
sort Of doubt Many mother has, like
the Princess Alice, caught infection from
the lips of her child dying or dead of
diphtheria. There is every reason to be-
leve that the seeds of tuberculosis may be
implanted by kissing, and the too common
beslobbering of children by friends of the
family and by ELUSIVE strangers cannot be
too strongly condemned on hygienic grounds.
1t cannot, therefore, be denied that kissing
is dangerous, but will sanitary commit
tees be able to put it down, as a too
magistrate once undertook to put
down" suicide? Will lovemaking be con-
Quoted on antiseptic principles? kissing
goes by favor" We are told-is 1t for the
future to be by favor Of the county council?
Great no doubt Is hygeia, but we will back
human nature with some confidence against
her.

Fourth of July Supper.
In an effort to make cur way to Walsh

After crossing a large number of channels

an effort to shortcut across the west

OF the Ice was rotten and was in
process of disintegration under the

of the road, which, under ordinary circum-
stances, we should not have attempted at
all. In an emergency like this we could not
afford to be too particular. At every step
we felt the ice giving way underneath us.
Now and then we had to wade up to our
knees, our feet upon quivering floor that
was submerged by heavier ones resting
upon Its margin. This was not so bad when
the Ice under us felt thick and solid, but
ticklish work 1t was when the footing con-

Rivalries of Women.
From Lippincott's Magazine.


Famous women are the great dramatic
artists of history. Without the comedy
which even their tragedies furnish, history
would be as cold as an orchestra without
brass. How their caprices, their foibles,
their frailties. their daring cleverness,
sparkle out of the solid pagesl How their
faces. beautiful or individual jewel the
musty chronicle ana allure the student
from the dark procession Of the pastl Even
the demoniacs. Catherine de Medicis, Cath.
crime Of Russia, Lucretia Borgia, have q
picturesqueness unattainable by man. BY
comparison. Henry the Eighth is q vulgar
butcher, Philip the Second q monomania4
with lust for blood. Caesar Borgia Is half
obscured behind the magnificent sweep Of
his sisters skirts.
But the sauce piquante Of history are
the women whose jealousies turned the fate
of nations, whose smarting vanity wa1
soothed by the old-fsshioned process Of
blood letting, or who merely furnished prt-
vatA thsatricals for THAR contemporaries.
