Neither President Cleveland nor

there was an element of doubt ms
to how the Republicans would vote,

Pose of the Perfect Woman.

All, but the perfect woman! Perfect, ba
it understood, as poor humanity can mus
ter in this mundane sphere. And it reaches
ii rather high order when it takes the form
of n well bred, winsome bit of feminine
lovclincss with strong muscles and well
nourished nerves.
Can anything he more full of fascination
than to watch the supple movements, tho
graceful pose of the little, plant woman
as she goes about her various tasks or
takes her rest?
How roposeful she is as she plays the
role of hostess and receives her guests with
her courteous handshake and bend of q
well poised head! How bewitchingly she
pours tea or rcciines on lounge or low seat
to chat with a new or old acquaintarccl
Her garments flow about her in such ar
tistic folds her laccs have just the right
fall, her jewels shine. 1t matters little
what she docs, bo it some domestic occu-
patton, riding, driving, game of golf or
quoits, on friends yacht, she is the poet
ry of motion or equally of rcpose and de-
light to the fortunate beholder.
When the bachelor by any piece of good
luck meets this piece of divinity, let him
not hesitate for longer than is necessary
to gain her yes. His future, barring acct
dents, will glow with roscate hucs; life
will hold for him its greatest joys.-Phil-
adelphia Times

Structure of Mountains.

In his contribution to tho discussion by
scientific authorities on the structure OF
mountains, Professor Niles states that il.
the Appalachian range the beds of rock
which have there been deposited are some
40, COO feet in thickness, whilo some dis
tance away from the mountains, on the
plain, tho same formations reach only
about 400 feet, the same principle Of for
nation being also known to exist in the
case Of foreign mountains and accepted
as fact thoroughly proved. 1t is like
wiso shown that the material which forms
tho mountain beds is exceedingly COARSE
demonstrating that the deposits were made
near the shores of continents, where the
continental rivers, laden with earth ma
terial, had their velocity checked by the
oceans and dropped first the larger and
heavier material, fact made evident to-
day by an examination of any Of the great
mountain systems of the world, which
skirt the shores
Briefly, it is argued that tho causes Of
mountains may be considered to be, first,
tho deposit of very thick beds of coarse
materials along tho continental shores, the
bottoms of the seas subsiding all tho time,
also the subsequent lateral pressure Which
formed the folds and, finally, the complex
action Of heat, water and pressure which
determined the lines of folds. Then, as to
the cause of lateral pressure, it is thought
that no theory is better substantiated than
that of contraction of tho earth through
the loss Of heat and tho loss of matter, lava
and moro particularly steam, which is
transformed in enormous quantities from
the interior to the surface of the earth.

Mental Disease In Children.

writer in a recent issue of The jour
nal of the American Medical Association
seeks to demonstrate the frequency Of
acute disease as causative factor in tho
production of Juvenile mental disease, its
pathology and treatment. The article is
based on the examination of 900 careful
ly selected histories at the Elwyn institu-
ton for the feeble minded and about 300
autopsies from various sources. In 322 of
these cases the mental disease appeared TO
have originated solely from acute disease
or injury, such as would bring the child
Under the physicians care. In these cases
spasms of dentition lead with 70 cases, fcl.
lowed in order of frequency by trauma-
ism, cerebral in1ammations, scarlet fever
and epilepsy of unknown origin, while
among the post mortem conditions afro
phic changes largely predominate
While the hopelessness of treatment In
these terminal conditions Is acknowledged
the possibility of better results in earlier
stages before inflammatory products have
replaced the normal tissues is suggested.
On the first sign of nervous disease the
child should be relieved of mental work
and placed under the best possible hygienic
conditions to regain it's health. Irritating
diet must be avoided. and careful feeding
is most essential.

a woman who has just crossed to Eu-
rope for tho first time writes home of the
pleasant ponlp and ceremony with which
the end of tie voyage is celebrated on tho
last night out.
1T seems, > sho says, THAT it is always
customary, ca the German line at least,
and probably on all, to have an especially
elaborate dinner just before arriving in
southampton, which is called the cap
tain S dinner. Every one is supposed to
order vino and drink to the health of our
captain, Whi!o lie responds, toasting tho
health anJ ''fc journeyings of his passen-
gers. When we came to the table, we
found it decorated with most elaborate
cakes four stories high, with little Ameri-
can and German flags stuck on all sides
and little paper ornaments-truly German.
1--WE went through a most elaborate
menu, and when we came to the dessert
the walters suddenly disappeared, the mu-
sic stopped and the lights went out. A
hush and sense of expectancy fell upon the
company. Suddenly the music started a
lively march, tho doors opened, and tho
walters appeared bearing trays. On each
was a round globe of rice paper with "a
light inside, and around this sat small
Japanese figures made of ice cream, each
holding in his arms little umbrella OF
lighted colored paper. The room was per-
fcctly dark, and the effect rs the walters
marched around and around, forming di!-
scrent figures and bearing their illuminat-
cd burdens, was novel and interesting.
Everybody c.appcd and checred. Then the
lights were turned on, and we ate the leo
cream men and kept the umbrellas as
souvenirs. New York Times.

sEIsMoGRAPH OR EARTHQUAKE REGISTER,
ed by Timoteo Bertelli and has come into
general use in all parts of the world. In
France it has been employed for some
years in the coal mines to give warning IL
any disturbance is likely to occur. -...s
The great earthquake of May 1S, which
continued for six seconds, was carefully
noted at the observatory in Florence. At
first there was no moro than slight
trembling. Then this trembling became
transformed into the fearful and intricate
undulations which the register shows.
That feature which rendered the move
ment most formidable was the constant
and abrupt changes in direction. The into
rior part resembles closely skein of thread
rolled and rcrolled about itself. 1t was
produced by the final movements of the
needle, which, left to itself, continued its
motion after the shock, returning gradu-
ally to its original repose.

CAYlOR'S BAIL GOSSIP.
DOYLE. Tebeau and Brodie as 'sky''s anu
Hydes.

There arc men playing ball professional
" who are regular Jekylls and Hydes~
that is, they are one person on 'he paii-
field and another in everyday life. Many
of the men who have reputation Iof
rowdyism on the diamond In their private
walks arc much admired. This can be
said especially of Doyle, Tebeau and
Brodie. The last named at times becomes
almost irresponsible for his actions while
n1avinp hall. Brodie is of an extremely
excitable and nervous temperament, and
there are few men playing ball today who
are more earnest in their work than he.
These characteristics united make him
most unique figure in the profession.
ITmnires are aware of Walters weakness
and overlook great deal both for his sake
and their own. His action in recent
came when he threw his arm around I'M
nire Hunts neck and almost choked the
breath olt of the latter's body fairly Illus
trates the uncontrollability of his nature
when he is thoroughly worked up during
n game. In his everyday life Walter Brodle
is as affable and gentlemanly as the most
exacting stickler for propriety would de-
mand.

leagues and associations to close their

One looking at the pretty. picturesque
costumes worn by little girls today feels q
sentiment of pity for the hideous wrongs
inflicted on children in the name of fash
ion in times not very remote. Read this
pathetic description of the uniform pre-
scribed in female" school 40 years ago:
For summer, ''white cambria dress, collar
and pantalets, black silk apron, black ret
mits, plain white pocket handkerchief,
nuns bonnet, black velvet hairband and
air plain on the forehead" In winter,
purple alpaca dress and mantilla, white
collar, pocket handkerchief and pantalets,
black silk aprons black kid gloves and
straw bonnots trimmed with scarlet lutte
string ribbon" One can almost see the
long line Of demure maidens followed by
"sedate and sober tutoresses'' waking
down to the church, with the white pan
talcts coming down to their shoe tops, and
In their mittcned hands the plain white
handkerchief SO firmly insisted on--Ex-

FEW KNOW ABOUT THE SHAKERS.
An Interesting, Gcd.Feafing People Who
Have Given the World Many Important
Discoveries,

We may not accept their peculiar religious
beliefs nor can We enter into the spirit of
their sacrifices. Il is not necessary 10 believe
as they do, but we can and do respect their
sincerity Of purpose and the nor and up
rishtness which marks all their busine deal
ings.
The Shakers have always been successful
inventors, and some of the greatest OF the
conveniences OF the present day found origin
in their settlements.
In one particular they excel all other
men or classes OF men, and that is in
cultivation Of medicinal herbs aud plants
and their preparation for use. They have
made it a study for more than one hundred
years. 1t is one OF their peculiar industries.
Their lives have been devote TO it.
Their latest and greatest achievement is the
Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t is not offered
as cure for all diseases. It does not pretend
to be, bot one disease it will cure, and that is
indigestion.
Sufferers who resort to its use have not long
to wait TO see the result. The effect is almost
immediate. The first dose usually gives re-
lief and if continued permanent care will
follow.
1t not only contains already digested food,
but IL digests food as WELL thus toning up the
general system. An interesting pamphlet is
now being issued by the Shakers and can now
be had for the asking at ain ost any drug store
Try twenty-five cent bottle of Digestive
Cordial and see what il will do for you.

sonal i'll feeling between the Giants and
Tebeau's men.
Now the New York's personal prefer
ences were to see the Clevelands win tho
pennant. Yet that desire cut no fieurs in
their games with the Ohio team on Labor
day. In long connection with baseball
l never saw q team play harder to win
than the New Yorks did in both games.
1t would have been easy for the manage
ment to have put the weakest pitchers in
against the Clevclands; but, on the con-
trary, the strongest We're called out for
duty, and the result was two victories over
the club which the Giants hoped might
beat their enemies out of the coveted prize,
and these two defeats almost destroyed
that very hope.
In speaking to me aftcrward Captain
Davis said he realized the peculiar posi-
ton in which his team was placed, and
much as he grieycd to see the Baltimorcs
get an advantage over the Clevelands he
wished to put his team beyond the sus-
picion of troachcry, and he felt pleased
that he had done it,
What othcr sport is there which can
show such proofs Of absolute honesty? Is
it wonderful that on Labor day nearly so, =
600 people paid fully $50, 900 to see the
National league games in six cities and
that the minor clubs did prOporti0natcly

His New Hat.

A distinguished preacher, of somewhat
arbitrary manners was engaged to preach
in Bclgravia, and purchased a new hat fot
the occasion. He was met outside his resi-
denco by young man, who was to guido
him to the church. His guide after what
the parson thought rude stare and smile,
said, 81 beg your pardon, sir, but your
hat
"Oh, yes, never mind the hat, but mint
your own business, " the parson interrupt
cd CURLY, and the young man was silonccd.
Tho people they met stared and smiled
too.
Strange, how many people notice when
one has got new hat, f." thought tho par
son. The church was reached, and the
worshipers approaching naturally turned
to observe the noted preacher.
The vicar met him at the vestry door to
welcome him, but hesitating said, "IAr-
don me, canon, but pray why do you wear
your hat sop
The tile was dotted, and the outside
found to be still covered with white paper,
which the ab,rntminded divine had not re
moved.-Pcarson' Weekly.

Gas Lighted without Matches.

Though men have sought out many in
vcntions, they are always trying to simpli-
fly them. Hence we have watches without
keys, pens that carry their own ink, while
in the automatic machines we have shop
without shopkeeper, and now an English
company is introducing a gas burner
which is lit without match or taper. You
turn the tap, and, 10! the fame forms on
the burner. The action of the gas on plat
mum wire does it, and that is quite rs
much as the nonchomical public will want
to know. But the arrangement is beauti-
fully simple and effective. 1t is announced
that it has been thoroughly tested Us to
wear and tear with most satisfactory re-
suits, and gas without matches has como
to stay.
