Women of 17G5

Here is curious extract from the
Lady's Monthly Magazine Of 1885
which is written in the style Of the pro
verbs, as follows:
Who shall describe woman Of fash.
ion? Her value is only in her jewels.
She Seeketh powders and paint, and
with her hands willingly maketh CO.'S
meticS.
She bringeth food and raiment from
afar, that it may be more costly; moth
ing hOmely, or cheaply purchased
pleaseth her.
She considereth a piece Of china and
buyeth it, and squandereth her hus-
bands money in vanity.
She girdeth not her body with modest
raiment; her apparel is scant and un-
delicate.
She maketh her house the resort OF
gamblers; her candles burn and give
light to evil doings.
She layeth her hands on the cards
yea, eagerly her hands divideth the
pool.
She maketh card purses, and deliver.
eth tickets of invitation for masks and
reyelry.
She. oDeneth her mouth to utter evil
words; her tongue retaileth scandal.
Her children are nurtured by a stran-
ger and respect her not. Her husband
too, he despiseth her.
Fortune, birth and beauty might have
raised her above all others; but she is
the child of folly.
Her conduct should, therefore, have
made her a pattern for all women and
her works would have praised her in
the gates.

RUN BY LIGHTNING,
Peculiar Accident that BefeII Trolley
Car in Norwich, Conn.

The latest prank performed by nut
meg lightning was starting Motorman
Harlow Ladd's trolley car at Norwich,
Conn, and whizzing it ten rods along
the track without any help from the
rumbling dynamos that were grinding
out refined electricity in the company's
works, half mile away. Harlow had
reached the end of the Greenville route,
switched the electric current from the
motor, and. brass handle bars in hand,
stepped across the street upon the side.

with the wire. Right overhead a big,
round thunder cloud. black and threat.
ening, spun slowly about. portentous
with muttering thunder. The rest %
the armament was serene and blue,
unsuilied by patch OF vapor. Sud.
denly the frOwning cloud mass was
rlven by zigZag shaft of glittering
flame that was shot straight downward
against the car motor and made it ring
like bronze bell smitten with ham,
mer. The report said MOtOrman Ladd,
was far louder and stronger than q
pistol shot. Then, with surprise
amounting almost to awe. the motor
man beheld his car, impelled by crude
electricity from the clouds, shoot for
ward eight or ten rods along the track.
1t did not move very rapidly. and by
running he overlook and boarded il
just before it came to q halt on the
rather stiff grade. In the opinion of
mOtormen and other street railroad
operatives, the thunderb0lt, heavily
charged with electricity, acted on the
car motor momentarily in precisely
the same way as the regular electric
current from the company'S works.
In the same storm q trolley car oper-
ated by MctOrman Ed Ladd, a cousin
of HarlOw'S, was touched up in a SINH

Two Toilet Hints.

To prevent mosquitoes from harass-
ing one. smear the hands and face
with pennyroyal and keep bottle of
that pungent perfume open to brighten
away the pests. Once they have sue
cecded in biting one the only thing to
do is TO anOint the bites with ammonia,
lemon juice or salt. A sign of advanc-
ing age almost rs inevitable as the
crease in the neck is the gradual re-
ceding of the gums from the teeth. To
counteract this tendency an astringent
tooth wash should be occasionally used.
The teeth should, moreover, be brushed
crosswise and down rather than up.

A Novel Letter BON.

IL Vienna a novel letter-boX has been
introduced, the main point of difference
being the absence of a key to unlock
It. When the collecting bag Is slid
into the groove at the bottom of the
letter-box the latter opens and drops
its contents into the bag. But one mo-
ton is required for the operation in
stead of the usual cumbersome series
of movements necessary to unlock an
ordinary box and take out the letters
by hand in punches. No other instIu.
ment can open the box, as the groove
is Of a peculiar shape and will nc. adj
NIT Of anything else. Combinations OF
locks may be arranged for certain
routes or districts, and the system Is
said TO be looked upon with favor.
