but it ie at least clean taste. can
not understand why whole stage load
Of .peopie should be made the victims
Of some atrociously dressed woman who
confdes to her companion that she
uses pinta Of hoi favurite extract every
weok, pouring thom on hor under
clothing until everything she wears is
thoroughly impregnated with them.
Garbolic acid would be thousand
times better, and benzine or varnish
would be heavenly beside such dread
fu waves Of suifocating stuff. A little
bit of perfume il delightful; q drop or
two of yervain on white hands simply
makes them more exquisite. Bugs OF
orris or violet thrown among one's
linen causes il to be pleasant 10 wear,
but never announce their existence
with any intensity. But this business
of over. perfuming is the abuse of
good thing. That becomes blunder,
and blunder becomes crime, and
the proper place for criminals is the
peniteniiary. BY tne-by, il you hap
pen to wear your hair in that Japanese
fashion which is known as the "blonse
roll, you want to perfume it a little
bit, so that if the hair lousens it is
like flower unfolding. AT least, that
is what French hairdresser sail.
seo that the French doctors have
issued circular announcing that the
population of France is gradually
growing less and less, and asking that,
for the good of tho nation, early mar
riages b, encouraged, and tho ex-
pected addition to the populace be
made welcome. To me there is some
thing intensely vulgar in the woman
who objects to being mother.
l do not SEQ how man can love her
| He may regard her rs clever, he may
| think she is good money saver, but
that he could love her or respect her
| is a something which | cannot under
stand. What is going to become of all
| the women when they got old? Who is
going to care for the n il they are
childlessY What is it that keeps a
woman youugY The companionship of
| children, hor interest in their pleasures
and in their well being Physically, a
woman remains young longer when she
is mother. 1t twould seem as if, when
she let the milk Of human kindness in
her heart go out to the little people
| who are flesh of her flesh and bone of
her bone, she had dipped into a bath
| of eternal youth, and would never grow
old. Probably children may bring her
| trouble, but, when this trouble is to
| be talked over with the man who is the
| father Of these children, when he sym
| pathizes with the mother, helps the
offender to reform, these two people are
going to be nearer to each other than
ever before, and wise women realize
| that they arc brought nearer by tho
hands of little children. Sometimes
| think that women do not understand
| the exact meaning of the word murder.
| | wouldn't like to be in the boots of
some of them when the world comes to
| an end, and have to answer for the
killing of unborn children. Then it is
| vulgar. The old story of an American
family, consisting of "a man and wife
and ono child, who live in hotel, il
| to be despised by the woman who is at
the head of happy home and the
mother OF six boys and girls who, by
their love and tenderness, keep her
young forever | wonder if the doctors
will send out circulars here?
| IL | had son who wished to adopt
a profession, should never make him
a doctor.
The average physician may get his
reward in heaven, but he certainly
doesn't on earth. You or | tumble
down the steps and cut our heads; eat
too much and have dreadful pain /;
work too hard and can't sleep; then we
sond for the doctor in u great hurry
and expect him to cure all the evils that
the flesh is heir to When we are
| cured We are surprised ut his daring
to send ua a bill, and nine times out of
ton we fight about paying it. We for
get all about the night wo had tho
awful cramp and the quIckness with
| which the doctor caused the pain to
vanish and joy to come instead. All
we think about is tho idea of that
man charging 80 much, when he simply
came in, felt my pulse, looked at my
tongue and wrote down prescription. =
| The years Of study, the sympathetic
manner, the kindly words arc all for
gotten when we no longor need them.
II | had son, should make him a
politician. 1t is the only profession,
if one chooses to call it that, where one
gets everything and gives nothing.
There is not much difficulty in train
ing the average American to be good
liar. lie has such vivid imagina-
tion. Without the least trouble he can
imagine himself on the right side, and
then he can speak in convincing way.

A politician requires but little train
ing and less knowledge. lie needs a
good memory, and ability to know who
to kick and who to shake hands with,
and certain genial air that he puts
on just as no uoes his frock coat.
Grammar is something he need never
trouble himself about. 1t is enough il
he knows the slang of the day. Oh
course, it is better if he can create
some slang, and best OF all if he car
say something that answers to ''The
public be id" The multitude likes
bully. Tho average American likes
politician who can kick every votei
into Satan's dominiuns If necessary,
and why he likes this type | cannot
understand. Our earliest politicians
we're gentlemen. Fancy Thomas Jeffer-
SOD. Charles Carroll or John Randolph
dis Gu sing events with tho average
pohtlcian of to-day AS this country
grows more magnificent, it seems Il
take less stock in good morals, anc
honesty is out Of the question. Itl
politicians have no manners, but OH
with what ability they can fill theii
pockets! Honee. that imaginary son oi
mine should be politician. shoulC
have no respect for him, but there
would be gold galore, and the entire
family would have the kind of timt
peculiar to the monkey and tho parrot
Don't worry! That chestnut whicl
has become a classic will never be re
peated by Bab.
