The Widows Superior Charms.

The ordinary unmarried girl is often
most a" "ractive to man in her igno-
rance OF the world and its ways. If
she lets it appear that she wants to
know little except such as he may
wish her to know, her charm, in his
esteem, is bound to be increased. y
man loves to be exalted to the posi-
ton of keeper of a girls heart and
mind. 1t adds to his self esteem: and
gives him that sense of vested inter
est in another's life which reaches its
climax in marriage.
But widows are in a different case.
They do not allure by their ignorance.
\ dull widow repels men. But a
sparkling, bright conversational and
tactful widow will, if she is young,
prove most seducing to many members
of the other sex. Most men love in
nocence in woman more than aught
else. But there are others to whom
worldly experience, especially if ac-
companied by beauty and evident
good nature, is a far stronger lure.
American widows excel in charming
mankind. It is only necessary to
think of the number of them who
have become part and parcel of En-
glish society to realize this. The
American girl gets more than her
proper share of masculine alteration in
the States. Perhaps this makes the
American widows social department
appeal more to English sympathies
and hearts.
Unmarried girls may be insipid in
their talk and yet attract good deal
of attention. Not so the widow.
Experience has taught her the way to
men esteem, and thence, perhaps, to
their hearts. Who like her can fiat
ter and tickle the vanity of the aver
age male ? 1t is no crime in her, oh
dear no Men are vain and like to be
fattered, just as cats like to be strok-
ed the right way and, having good
opinion of themselves, they are ex-
ceedingly prone to form high opin-
ion of the person in whose agreeable
society this little weakness Of the
male nature is recognized and catered
to. This is the widows art. AS a
student and expert at life she is miles
above the unwedded maiden.
For tact she is not to be beaten.
She is the best of peacemakers, even
as she is often a hostess of the first
rank.-London Ne,Cs.

Muscular Cramp.

Muscular cramp, muscular exhaust
ion, or myalgia, as it is variously call
ed in common and medical parlance, is
often confunded with neuralgia and
rheumatism. There are undoubtedly
many instances of muscular cramp in
which one or the other of the last
named conditions is present; but in
these cases the exhaustion depends
upon the existing neuralgia or rheu-
matte condition, and disappears under
treatment Of the original trouble.
Myalgia-the word is derived from
the Greek, and means muscular pain
arises from exhaustion of the substance
of the muscle. This loss of vitalityis
in most cases the result of subjecting
the muscle to excessive or long-contin
ued activity under unfavorable condi-
tions.
The amount Of vitality which a mus
Gle consumes when in action is, of
course, proportionate to the amount Of
work required of it, and under normal
conditions the supply furnished by the
blood is sufficient for the need. Un-
der adverse conditions, however, there
is no opportunity offered for the COM
plete recovery of the muscle from it's
labors, and strain is the result. The
muscle feels lame and sore, and not in
frequently one can almost imagine
that in some way it has become tied
into knots.
Myalgia may attack any muscle,
though there are certain ones which,
by reason of their location, are en-
dangered more than others. Seam
stresses are very liable to have cramp
in the muscles of the shoulder on ac
count of the steady application and
confinement necessitated by the ma
ture of their occupation.
A favorite seat for myalgia, as most
Of US can testify from painful expe.
rience, is in the calves of the legs.
The pain is especially severe on lying
down at night, and may be so great as
even to draw up the limbs.
Massage offers the only certain re-

be brisk to insure an abundant circu-
lation of blood to the distressed mus
cles, and for this reason also it should
be the direction of the vessels through
which the blood flows.
Liniments of various kinds may be
tried, or what is better, the external
application of alcohol may be resorted
to. Cloths wrung out of hot water,
with teaspoonful or so of laudanum
sprinkled on them, and placed directly
over the aching muscles, are useful to
ease the pain.
When the trouble is in the muscles
of the leg, hot foot baths may be en-
ployed to restore the circulation in the
limbs and to "draw out the pain.
The observation of general hygienic
measures should not be forgotten
where there is tendency to muscular
cramp.-ToutA's Companion.

The Fear OF Thunder.

"Electric storms are far less
dangerous than the majority of pco-
pie imagine, writes Edward Box in
The Ladies Home Jo"rnal. ''That a
severe lightning storm is terrifying
admits of question, and will some.
times bring uneasiness to the heart of
the strongest man. But the real dan
ger is slight. The chance Of light
ming house, for example, IS not one
in million. Particularly is this true
in cities, strung as most of them are
with electric wires. The greater dan
ger from electric storms is in the coun-
try, and even the danger may be less
ened if the simplest and common
sense of precautions are exercised.
The surest electric conductor is a
draught, and if, when thunder
storm approaches, it is seen that all
windows and doors liable to occasion
a draught are kept closed, the danger
is at once reduced to a minimum. If
a woman is "caught" out in a thunder
storm the safest shelter is house;
the most dangerous a tree, particular
ly an oak tree. It is peculiar, but
nevertheless a proven fact, that the
oak is the most susceptible
of all trees to current of electrici-
ty. Over fifty per cent. of trees
struck by lightning storms during one
summer, the government staticlan
tells US, were oaks, while the beech
tree was the least harmed. Therefore,
the worst possible place Of shelter in
an electric storm is under an oak tree,
while by all odds, the safest place is
in the house and out of a draught.
The actual danger (from an
electrical storm) is, in truth, not from
the lightning nor the thunder, but
from the nervous condition into which
women allow themselves to fall. And
this is danger which they can avoid
A little calm thought and a few grains
of sense will do it,"

Tho Carolina SDnyfd11 in speaking of

Tho Carolina Spartan in speaking of
the recent decision by Judge Simonton
against the dispensary law, says: There
has been much bungling work done by
the Legislature in endeavoriDg to patch
up this law. The worst feature is that
they have taught the people that it is right
to secure certain result by indirection
and Legislative legerdemain. Fair. hon
est, manly Legislation will tend to make
loyal, law-abiding citizens, who will obey
the laws and respect the lawmakers. But
when Legislators resort to expediences,
political manoeuvering and the tricks Of
shysters and pettifoggers to deceive the
people, or bolster up a bad cause. or to
cover up some Of their bad work, then
they lower the standard of citizenship
and teach people to disregard and violate
law
"A tjovial old lady of Paris, after pro-
viding literally for some distant relatives,
left by will 100000 in small sums to
large number of casual acquaintance that
she had picked up in the streets: She was
an invalid, and had been left without near
relatives or connections, but, being deter
mined to have jolly people about her, she
gave balls and parties, to which she in.
vited any person whose face attracted her
in omnibuses or shops. When she died
she rem embered all in her will.

POSTMASTER FlFTY-SX YEARS.
A Veteran Handler of the Mails in
PennAylvnnin.

A Veteran Handler of the Mails in
Pcnnsyivnnin.
The oldest postmaster in continuous
service in the United States lives in
central Pennsylvania. His name is
Joseph Strobe and he lives at Strodc's
Mills, Il pretty village in MfIin county.
This old pioneer postmaster has held
the one position since 1S45, and still
holds it ut the present time, although
he is now in his S1st year. AS recog-
milton of his long and faithful service
for the government, the post office de-
partment at Washington had his pic
ture on exhibition at the worlds fair
and it was considered one of the most
interesting features of that great de-
partment.
Strodc's Mills is a quaint, old-fashion
village situated in the heart of Millin
county. The country surrounding it
is rich in farming lands and valuable
ore and sand mines. Although the
place is over century old, its inhabit-
ants number only 200. The people are
mostly well-to-do, and ever since the
establishment of the village the lands
have passed down from one generation
TO another and very seldom has it been
that these handed-down properties have
gone out of the family possession. They
nre happy race of people, contentcd
with their lot and seldom, If ever, both
eriDg the outside world. They are in
reality q world to themselves and as
such but little is ever heard Of them
outside Of their villuge limits.
In 1880 Armor Strode received the ap-
pointment of postmaster, during Mar
tin Van Duren's administration, and
continued in Office until his death in
August, 1916. Joseph Strobe, the pres.
ent postmaster, was made his assistant
in 1910, and at his fathers death re-
ceived the appointment through Cave
johnson, postmaster-general under
President Polk. For the last ten years
his son, Amar A. Strobe, has been his
assistant.-Chicago News. 81" 4, e..
