A WHITNEY SOUVENIR malady has been abandoned. 1t appears that her heart IS in some way affected in consequence of tendency to excessive palpitation, indicating that its position is not nor mal. Mir. Whitney literally has no life outside of his children, and Miss Pauline's growing physical debility has changed the whole course of his life. Nay, it is asserted that her ailment was the chief reason for his declination of the democratic gubernatorial nomi- nation. When he was pressed to state last autumn why he must refrain from making public his reason for this refus- al he begged to be excused from doing so, although he added that this reason was personal to himself The truth of the matter was known only to q very few.
 When Miss Whitney was in England last summer her health showed no tendency to improve. Rather the re- verse. Her father watched and nursed her constantly, but without avail. In despair he returned to New York, and the young lady was taken to the most eminent of metropolitan specialists. They were completely puzzled by the symptoms, bat advised that she be taken to a warm climate without de- lay. Accordingly the democratic leader and millionaire set sail with his daugh- ter for a milder climate. The period of absence will be spent in the south of Europe and in Egypt Young Harry Payne Whitney is travelling with his father and sister.
 When Mir Whitney will return is q matter of conjecture. At any rate, it was the illness of most interesting society maiden that occasioned such disappointmentto to the democratic party in New York And if her health fails to improve MT. Whitney may never again be Q figure in the politics of the Empire state.
 A Acurious fatality, by the way, has at tended memento of Miss Whitney which a plutoeratic belle had managed to treasure until her return. The me- mento was nothing more nor less than little dog which the great democrats daughter presented to Fifth avenue hairess- The little animal was run

 Ask the majority of people what is answer "the improvement of the mind" But this answer does not take us one step beyond the starting point. Probably the best and most generally useful rule for girl is q deliberate and conscientious inquiry into her own nature and inclipations as to what she wants to do with her education. When she has faithfully answered the in- quiry she is ready to prepare herself for this end. For it is neither neces- sary, nor yet possible that every girl should know everything. Besides which, the growth of the Individuality has made special knowledge thing of great value; and on all occasions of importance, we are apt to defer to it. If we cross the Atlantic, we look for q captain who has q special knowledge of it's stormy ways. If we are really i'll, we go to Q specialist on our ail- ment, no matter what sspathy" we pre- fer. Special knowledge has prima facie worth, and without inquiry into subject we are inclined to consider specialists on the subject better in- formed than those wno have not this qualification. Hence the importance of cultivating some one talent to such perfection as will enable girl, if needs be, to turn it into money.
 There is another point in the prep aration of the American girl for the duties of life which is often under valued, or even quite ignorcd-it is the little remembered fact that all our moral and intellectual qualities are very dependent for their value on our surroundings. The old Qualzers used to lay great stress upon being ''in ones right place." When the right person is in the right place there is sure to be a success in life; failure in this respect is almost certain misfortune-a fine accountant before the mast, a fine lady in tho wilderness, are out of their places and have lost ther opportunity. And so educational accomplishments, which would bring wealth and honor in Q great city, may be detrimental to happiness and a drag on duty in an isolated position.
 Hence the importance of girl find ing out first of all what she wants to do with her education. For in this day she is by no means eramped in her choice; the most desirable occupations are open to her; she may select from the whole world her arena; and from the fullness thereof her reward. But if her object be a more narrow and conventional one, if all she wishes is to be loved and popular in her own small community, then-if she is wise s--she will cultivate only such happy arrangement of graceful, usual ac- complishments as prevail among her class and friends. For q very clever woman cannot be at home with very many people. She is too large for the regular grooves of society; she does not fit into any of it's small aims and enjoyments; and though she may have the lzindest heart, it is her singulari- ties only that will be taken notice of, If then popularity be a girls desire, she must not obviously cultivate her self, must not lift herself above her surroundings; nor lift her. aspirations higher than the aims l which all humanity have isl com l mon. And it is a very good thing for humanity that So many nice girls arc

which ought not to DC encouraged or palliated, although 1t is essentially the shadow of some of her greatest excel lence-the fault of being in too great hurry, at all the turning points of her life. When she is in the nursery, she aches to go to school. When she is a schoolgirl, she is impatient to put on long dresses, and become a young lady. As soon as this fact is accomplished, she feels there is not a moment to lose Sn choosing either career, or hus- band. She is always in hurry about the future, and so frequently takes the wrong turn, at the great events of life. She leaves school too soon; she leaves home too soon; she does everything at a rush; and does not do it as well, as if she made haste slowly"
 But what future lies before these charmingly brilliant American girls if they are able to take the fullest pos session of it! The great obstacle in this achievement is the apparently wholesome opinion that education is sufficient But the very best education will fall short of it's privileges, if it be not accompanied with that moral train ing, which we call discipline. Disci- pline is self-denial in all it's highest forms; it teaches the excellent means between license and repression; with out it girl may have plenitude of knowledge, and lamenta ble want of sweetness; so that one, only second rate on her intellectual side, may be thousand fold more lovable than one who is first-rate on her intellectual side, but lacks that fine flavor of char acter, which comes from the expansion of noble inward forces, disciplined and directed to good ends.
 Every one understands that no char acter, 'however intellectual, is worth anything that is not morally healthy; but morality in woman is not in itself sufficient She must have in ad- dition all those charming virtues in- cluded in that word of many liehts and shades and subtle meanings womanliness; that word, which signi- fies such a variety of things, but never anything but what is sweet, and ten der and gracious, and beautiful.

The result is that an army of emigrants assem- ble on the pier whenever liner sails and as all cannot be accommodatea there is rush to get aboard. The scenes enacted latterly on the piers have been disgraceful beyond descrip- tion and the distracted, deserted ones have vainly vociferated that their money must be repaid.

 Federation. Every one interested is making strenuous efforts at conceal ment. The Knights, it seems, are al- legged to be practically bankrupt. It is claimed that at present not five thou sand members who pay up are in good standing. The salary of General Mas ter Workman Sovereign is overdue and unpaid, while other claims of pecun- iary nature against the Knights remain chronically unsatisied. The leaders in the organization have for some time been trying every expedicnt to raise funds without avail. As for the Fed aration, it's condition is by no means as hopeful as may be thought in certain optimistic quarters. The coming of John Burns is pronounced spectacular device, calculated to revive languid in- terest in labor matters, but otherwise things are by no means in promising condition. Yet every possible effort is being made to keep the true state of the case from transpiring. In New York's inner labor circles the prospects of organized wage earncrs, as class, are much decried. The great problem is, who will be the Moses to lead the proletarian cohorts out of this Egypt? The situation is critical and needs in- stant action. Labor's burden is to-day as heavy as was that of the pillar-trans- porting Samson.

In every way this concern sought to advertise itself by the use of Grover Cleveland's name. This cir constance caused the president to for bid the use of personal detectives as his guards on any occasion. At any time he has no guards at all and the use of secret service patrols was owing to the fact that MT. Cleveland was at the time on government business.

At Ealing, in England, the waste heat from plant for consuming gar bage is now being applied successfully in operating an electric-light plant One of the useful by-products of the works are the 'sclinkers" resulting from the burning Of dead cats, dogs, and other refuse matter. These are used for making artificial stone. The whole of the concrete used in the build ings of the lighting station was made from such 'sclinxers'
 Juggling with the Dollar.
 The republic of Honduras has adopted the gold dollar of the United States as it's standard coin. For the purpose of effeeting the change to the new standard the old currency is re- deemed by giving fifty cents for one dollar. When governments go into the chcap-money business, says the Phila- delphia Record, they usually manage to get dollars worth for half a dol lar; and when they go out of the busi- ness after the Ionduran fashion they get two dollars for one. The swindle of demonetiza ton and reconciliation bears with equal hardship upon the un- happy people who are the victims of this form of legalized robbery.

 NRS AAG girl-n ct the
 sszAsssssss Il o tn ouse va riety, reared for the adornment of luxury, but the everyday, everywhere girls that throng the roads leading to the public schools and the normal schools; and who even in higher state of culture fill the halls of learned colleges with Q wondrous charm and brightness girls who have an aim in life, mission to fulfill, q home to order, who know the worth of money, who are not ashamed to earn 1t, and who manage out of limit ed means to compass all their desires for pretty dresses and summer yaca- tions, and even their pct dream of an ocean voyage and a sight of the old world.
 Physically, these girls enjoy life at Its highest point. Look at their flushed checks and bright, fearless eyes, and watch their light, swift, even steps, They have no complaint to make of the heat or the sunshine or the frost; they have not yet heard of the east wind. Rain does not make them cross; and, as for the snow, it throws them into a delicious excite ment; while the wind, blowing their dresses about them in colored clouds, only makes them the more eager to try their strength against it.
 That these girls, so physically lovely, should have the proper mental training is point of the grayest personal and glory of our age, that this necessity has been nobly met. For the American girl, wisdom has builded her house and hewn out her seven pillars;s and as she points to the lofty entrance she cries to all alike: "Go up: the door is opcn!" If the girls of fifty years ago could have known the privileges of our era how would they have rnarveled and rejoieed, and desired ito see their day''
 But manifold as her privileges are the American girl generally knows how to use them. She proves daily that the parable of the ten talents did not refer to men only. Indeed the fault girls are most likely to fall into is the belief that they each and all possess every one of the talents. In reality this is so seldom the case that 1t is impossible to educate all girls after one pattern; and 1t is therefore Q grand thing for girl to know just what she can, and cannot, do For if she have only five talents, there Is no advantage to be gained by creating fictitious ones; since the noblest educa- ton Is that which looks to the develop Went of the natural abilities, whether lpey be few or many fashionable or
