WOMEN OF TO-DAY,

Drain Cultivation Has Pushed Charm OF
Manner Into the background.
Has the woman of to-day the charm
pf the woman of a century ago? Has
her boosted education lessened or in
creased that charm?
We all agree that at the present
period woman is moro companionable
to msn, taking her in the sense Of o
comrade, than her ancestress of ono
hundred years back; that, intellectual
ly. q man acknowledges her his equal,
and last Of all treats her as such, yield.
ing her ungrudgingly place In business
and professions. all of which tends to
make her sclf-confident and self-reli-
ant, but does it increase her charm?
There is danger ahead for the Ameri-
can woman. In her eager desire to
stand side by side with man she Is be-
coming aggressiyely self-confdept, and
unless she watches herself there is risk
stilted, dogmatic In tho expression Of
her o~pinion--in a word. unnatural, and
that way ruin lies.
A clever man of the world not long
ago was heard to say. apropos of this
subject: 1.-THE most charming and de.
lightful thing in the world, but l re-
greet to say the rarest, is a thoroughly
natural woman" A shrewd comment.
The woman Of to-day cultivates her
mind TO such an extent that she is self.
conscious; she loses the charm of SIM
plicity Of speech and manner. The
former is stilted. the latter aggressive.

ness. and she strives to maintain it at
all hazards.
In a word, in season and out of sea-
son, at home and abroad, she never
ceases to remember that she is a bright
woman.
1t has been happily said Of q French
woman whose gracious charm is pro-
verbal that she is clever enough to
conceal her cleverness from man. Not
SO the American woman, who parades
the fact untiringly in the face Of the
world.
A woman of this character is never
charming, and we all know that n
who possesses that gift sways more
hearts, and, better still, retains them
longer thar 4 woman of twice her wit
and OF even greater beauty. We hear
much of beautiful women and we have
all experienced that sense of disap-
pointment upon seeing for the first
tjme some world famous beauty.
We fail to soc that marvellous perfeo,
ton; we look in vain for fiawless face
and form and coloring, we shrug our
shoulders and go away wondering ut
the short-sightedness of man. We for
get that beauty is in the eye of the be-
holder, and that 2 charming woman is
In the opinion OF a man q beautiful
one.
She may be as fair in face as Titian's
la Bella" and as perfect in form as
the Venus OF Milo, yet ii she lack the
subtle something called charm, better
for the peace of mind of that woman
We're she ~hopelessly plain, for without
it she delights not mar nor woman
either.
If you ask me how TO acquire this
charm l should say, BE natural, again

To the Editor Of the Intelligcncer.
The editorial in last Sundays Repub-
lie. commenting on Vests bill, is u very
remarkable one indeed for a great
daily. There certainly must have been
3 change of editors.
1t would require too much space to
notice all of its crudities.
As q sample. He says: "The ladies
would cry out against being COM
PEELED to go shopping with the weight
of ter silver dollars"
Wonderful discovery!
A few days sfterward the writer met
a very intelligent lady in a store and
inquired II she would ever refuse ten
dollars in silver from her husband Ia
shop with. She replied that she would
not refuse, but would show him how
snugly she could carry 1t.
Perhaps one lady IN one hundred
thousand might complain, but must all
the others be subjected to the COM
plant Of that oneP That would be
about like asking all the country to
degrade ono-half Of it's money for a few
hundred bond dealers, and accep,
general distress, and shrinkage il
prices, and destruction in business.
Again, he claims that coin notes
would not be a good money as far as
the silver notes are concerned.

Andrew jackson ordered the L.. s.
land agents to take none but such
money. What q pity our Grover

course they would have said gold,
because it Is so much easier to carry /;
and we would have had the pleasure o,
issuing bonds long age to rcplenish
the treasury with gold.
Everybody a understand the Vest

understands his own bill, and very
evident that Cleveland does not, from

SOLDIERS.


Their Tactics In the Movement OF Land
Forces.
While | was in Warsaw in 1891 the
DO Cossacks were making some inter-
esting experiments that promise to
have direct bearing upon the next
campaign. | was not permitted to be
present, but heard about them.
One idea was to improvisc u boat,
using Cossack lanccs for ribs, and can
vas for the skin; lances were also
made to do service as oars by d blade
dashed on 10 The end. In order to
test the power of these boats an at
tempt was made To cross the Vistula
near h fortress of Ivan-Gorod in
Poland. about sixty mile south of
Warsaw, one Of h most dangerous
erossing-points on the river. where the
stream is rather strong, and there are
several whirlpools. The first boat was
launehc: ithin forty-ive minutes.
and d r'.lg aided with the saddles,
arms 81! requirements of twenty
men, and was rowed by six Cossacks.
In spite OF this load the boat had one
clear foot between the gunwhale and
tne water. Within a half-hour the load
was deposited on the other side. The
distance which they had to traverse,
involving the avoidance of a lengthy
sand bank, was about n mile. Within
one hour from the time OF embarka-
ton the two ~squadrons of Cossacks
taking part in this evolution were all
safe and sound on the other side, in
the saddle, and ready to fight. Every
thing transported in the boats was
found to be entirely dry when unload
ed, and my informants expressed them
selves as highly satisfied with the re-
suit Of this experiment.
Another experiment made at the Rus
sian maneuvers referred to above wa
in regard to the picketing of horses by
means of burying in the ground, about
ten inches deep, a piece of wood about
ten inches long and two inches wide.
To this piece of wood was bound a
thong projecting above the surface
Of the ground, to which the lariat of
the horse was made fast. BY this
means the horse was effectually Sc
cured, and as II was practiced over and
over again during the il
may be considered that the Cossacks
have adopted 1t for the present. An
other curious experiment was made at
these maneuvers, namely, the using of
lances rs handles for scythes, in order
to enable the Cossacks to harvest hay
on the march without the necessity of
carrying than necessary. The re-
suit of the experiment was declared to
be satisfactory, and henceforward we
may consider the lance Of the Cossaels
as intended not merely for piercing the
bodies of runaway Jews aud smugglers,
but for propeling six cared punts, and
providing scythe-handles, by means of
which fodder tor the horses Is secured

WHAT 1T Fans.

..s.Bridge" has been the general
theme of discussion forthe last week liz
Lsxiagton's political, business and
social circles. On other issues there is
mere or less difference of opinion, but
that tho Missouri should be bridged at
this point, all are of one mind. The
rich and psor, high and low, all agree
that Though the task Ne onerons 1t can
bs executed.
To this end, without a single excep-
ton to our knowledgs) our people are
working in accord, As we have said
before, we rs-iterate now, that the
bridge will bs built, and will be a last
inn monument I the enterprise OF
Lsxingtos.
We are tired Of the old ruts. We
want to sail on . higher plane. There
10 room here for more people, more
factories, and good ground for two OF
three mere railroads.
TO build this bridge will necessitate
che outlay of no small amount OF
money. q large part of which must be
raised bore IN Lexington. Every dollar
that We give, however, will bear good
fruit. Every effort made toward tins
public enterprise will be crowned with
. rich reward.
What does u bridge mean to Lex
ingtsne
1t means two good railroads.
It means that the present j. G. b. &
l.. branch will Do the main line oil the
Missouri Pacific.
II means that one-third eff the Rag
county trade will come TO Lexington.
1t means 10000 people.
1t meaus more factories, with all the
business that such things bring.
In ether words It means that Licking
ton will be enc Of the leading manu-
featuring csntsrs in Missouri.
1t means more boarders in cur

II means an enhancement of the

B BUILDINGS.

At each and every session of the
state legislaturs there is an effort made
to remove some Of the state buildings.
This sffert dses not emanate from the
taxpayers, but comes fresh from a
speculative GLASS Of citizens, who expect
to reap . rich harvest in real estate
bo0ns.
Just Ut present the legislature has
before Il for consideration the removal
Of three OF its institutions, tiz:' The
capitol; the school Of mines, at Rolla (;
and the agricultural college, at
Columbia.
These propositions viii all have sup
Portsrs, and among them will be found
ssne who expect to- make either
political or msrcsnary capital out Of
the removals.
The question Of removing these
public institutions ought to be settled,
aad settled for all time to come.
Before beginning consideration, the
.'uiggers should be run out of the
w~ood-pils." The statesmen who have
knives In their sleeves SHOULD be sent
to The rear, end the real estate boomers
sed lobbyists chased out of Jefferson
City. Then tho question should come
before the general assembly on merit.
The irst question then to consider is:
SIS 1t rightP" The next: sis It law
full" aad lastly: ..."Is it expeaient
asd necessarily" These questions once
settled along the lines Of right and
justice, ~ ssd would be put to their
sgitatiou.
