We see floating around in the col
umns Of the agricultural and general
press bit Of advice intended to save
ones life when cross bull gets after
him. The substance Of the suggestion
is that when the bull charges, Just be-
fore he makes the final lurch, he shuts
his eyes, and if his intended victim has
the presence of mind to stand perfectly
still until the bull is within two or three
feet Of him, all he has then to do is
to step aside and the bull will pass by,
We are told that any child with suffi-
cient presence of mind to do this can
meet bull and let him charge at him
all day in this way with perfect safety.
We are entirely willing to let the gen
tleman who first penned this para
graph have all our share of this kind OF
amusement. The place we want to be
when mad bull is charging is on the
other side of the fence, and we would
like To have reasonable amount Of as
surance that the fence is a lawful one,
or even more. There is great deal Of
nonsense written about the power of
the human eye in cowing the brute
creation. These fancy sketches can be
permitted to pass without special con-
tradiction, because there are not many
Of us who are likely to ever have oc-
casion to rely on them with ferOcious
wild asimals, but cross bull is some
thing that any Of us are liable to have
to meet any day, and our suggestion
would be not to rely upon the theory
that the bull charges with his eyes
shut, and that one can step out of his
way when couple of feet from him,
simply retaining his presence Of mind.
Presence Of mind is nice thing in
such case. of course, but absence OF
body is infinitely better Western

NATURE AS A CHILD'S TEACHER
Rain In the City Is Only Wetness
Broken Loose,

Rain In the City Is Only Wetness
Broken Loose
Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst, d. D.,
writes upon Memories of Our Child
hood Homes" in Ladies' Home Journal
and emphasizes the necessity OF sur
rounding children with bright pictures
and CHEEKY furnishings, as the mental
photographs they make in early years
are the ones that never fade, but last
and remain vivid through life. Ma
ture, too, has big part to play in
the teachings of the youth. "It takes
great deal to make a good home
writes the forceful leader and teacher.
1T needs something even beside father
and mother, and an open fire, and the
cat on the hearth. The first element
in the home is the house itself, which
needs to be distinctly different from
any other house in sight. Then there
needs to be some land around a house
before it can be real honey 1t gives
playroom for the eyes as well as for
the feet. A wide range of solemn woods
will do more for child in week than
yellow bricks and dirty paving stones
will do for him in year or ever Go Tor
him. 1t is a great thing for child to
grow up within earshot OF babbllng
brook. There is kind Of musicalness
of spirit that will become his in that
way that he will never be able to ac-
quire from piano teacher or fiddling
master. This wide range of prospect
will also companion him with the bright
and the more earnest moods of the great
mother earth on whose bosom he IS
being nourished. He will have oppor-
tunity to see the days brighten III the
east in the morning, and his soul Will

child in the country there is likewise
opportunity for him to see it rain. There
is a great difference between rain and
falling water. Rain in the city is only
wetness broken loose, and is calculated
only in terms of STRENGTHENING and
aqueduct supply. A square mile OF rain
or dozen square miles Is different
matter, and is unconsciously construed
by the child as being mood OF Ma
tures mind rather than hydropathic
uncorking. Still more impressive upon
the child's mind are the strange COM
munications made to him by the light
ming flashing above him across a hum
dred miles OF country sky, and the
wierd aurora and the swift and blaz-
ing track Of falling stars that make
him feel how solemnly close to him
is the great wonderful world above the

Tri,by Shattered.

Tic members Of the New York So
cial Culture club, who met to talk
about what they knew about hypnotism,
shattered a popular idol recently. The
speakers, among whom were Dr. Dray-
ton, DR.. Beal and Dr. Fisher, experts
on mesmerism and hypnotism, said
that it was impossible for young wom-
an like Trilby to sing as she did un-
der the influence Of Svengali. They said
she had no voice, no ear for music and
no brains, and even if she had all these
things it would have been improbable
that Svengali could have influenced her
as he did. DR.. Drayton said that he
was thoroughly convinced that Du
Maurier knew little or nothing about
hypnotism and that the hypnotizing in
cident in his book was a mere romance.

WOMEN IN PANTALOCNS.
Dr. Mary Walker, the Pioneer, Has Many
Tn.

DIR. Mary Walker, the Pioneer, Has Many
Imitators,
I very well remember when | was
quite youth seeing Dr.. Mary Walker
dressed in mems clothing, says writer
in Hygienic Gazette. She was a little
woman, very slender. with young-
mannish expression of face, writes Will
lis Barnes. | was favorably impressed
with her dress and thought it quite be-
coming, but some of our municipal
guardians of the welfare of the people
were not so favorably impressed and
DR.. Mary was more than once subjected
10 the discipline of the law.
Her dress was full-length pair OF
pantaloons and long-skirted coat, not
much different from the ordinary male
attire. | also remember with what de-
rision the bloomer costume OF women
was received not many years since and
how it was finally laughed out OF use.
But what change has come! Public
sentiment is queer autocrat. Today
on almost any of the streets and grand
avenues of the city of New York and in
other cities of this country and Europe
may be seen hundreds of women in male
attire. Baggy pantaloons short jack
cts and hats or caps are now the ac-
cepted fashion for bicycle riders.
Is this costume becoming? Well,
there is much diversity of opinion.
Is this costume modest? There
seems to be but one opinion on this
point. Women and men Of all grades
of society say "No.'
Why is this? think it all turns upon
the one anatomical fact that women
were not intended by nature to wear
pantaloons. The great majority of
women are differently constructed from
men about the pelvis; the bones and
| muscular formation of females are
broader and larger in every way, and
as women grow older there is natural
tendency toward the piling up of fatty
tissue over the pelvic bones and lum-
bar muscles which brings that portion
Of the body into unenviable promi-
nence.
This being true, the skirt dress is the
only method of grace that can be adopt
ed The wearing of pantaloons brings
into unpleasant sight the anatomical
disproportion and therefore the mod
ern woman bicyclist who shows herself
in public in what she is pleased to call
baggy pantaloons, is not pleasing
sight to men or her sisters of the more
modest skirt dress.

A Dig in the Ribs


Lightly and jocoseiy given is no formid-
able matter, but when constant uneasi-
ness beneath your ribs on the right side
intmates that your liver is out of order
you are not to be envied. This sensation
is also accompanied by yellowness of the
skin and eyeballs, a mouse colored fur
upon the tongue, sick headache, nausea
and other uncomfortable indications.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the remedy
Of all others, and should be resorted to
without delay. Constipation and dyspep-
STA, concomitaEt of liver trouble, are also
remedied by this unequalled regulating
medicine, which the records of nearly half
century, the commentator of eminent
members of the medical profession, and
the daily experience of the invalid world
stamps as the first of its class. In rheu-
matsm, kidney and bladder trouble it is
incompatible. 1t remedies nervousness
and debility, restores appetite and sleep,
hastens convalescence after exhausting
maladies, and greatly mitigates intirmities
incident to old age.

WILL MAKE TROUBLE.

Some day or other the people Of this
country are likely to get into the big
gest kind Of a disturbance over the
carelessness Of conventions in nomi-
mating electors, and officials in pre-
pairing ballots. No presidential cleo
ton ever occurs that we do not hear
OF instances where an elector some
where fails to receive the certificate Of
election to which he is entitled on~ac=-
count of some technical irregularity.
nominate electors proceed with sublime
indifference to the requirements of the
law. They pick out their candidates
on the score Of party eligibility and
rarely stop to inquire whether one or
more of them may not be disqualified
by holding federal office or for some
other reason. Where the Australian
ballot law has not yet been adopted,
and party committees are charged with
the duty Of printing tickets, it is the
exception, rather than the rule, to find
are used, and on others the full name,
and a prolific trouble is the addition
or omission Of the abbreviations "Jr."
and ''Sr." There are two cases already
in this election where such errors
might defeat the will of the people. In
the state of Delaware the difficulty has
been remedied by an arbitrary order
to count all the votes cast for or" and
''Sr." for the same person. In Vir-
ginia, on the other hand, it is stated
that this mistake will result in giving
one elector to Mckinley.
We pay very little attention to this,
under existing circumstances, because
we know that it will not change the
result. Nobody thinks it worth while
to worry over the question whether
