SINCE VICTORIA WAS CROWNED
There Have Been Great Social Re-
forms and Wonderful Inventions.

There Have Been Great Social Re-
forms and Wonderful Inventions.
Great social reforms belong to Queen
Victoria's reign, writes William George
Jordan in Ladies' Home Journal, mar
rating the progress of the world since
Queen Victoria ascended the throne
60 years ago. The degrading practice
of flogging has been abolished in the
armies and navies of America and Eng
land. Children are no longer permitted
to work in the mines of Britain. Press
gangs no longer force men into the
service of the queens navy. The Red
Cross society, approved by 40 nations,
has softened the horror of war. The
transportation of criminals, with its
many evils, has been suppressed. En-
ecutions are no longer conducted in
public. The treatment of criminals has
become humane. Factory laws and
poor.
Inventive science has made marvellous
progress in every department during
Victoria's 60 years as queen. Cantilever
bridges have surprised the world.
Travel has been wonderfully quickened
by street cars, cabs, trolleys, cable cars,
elevated roads and other triumphs of
invention. In 1887 there were no type
writer's, no passenger elevators, no mod
ern bicycles, no soda-water fountains,
no horseless carriages, no chemical fire
extinguishers, no ironclads, no perfect
ing presses. Fully chronicling the in
ventive progress of the last six decades
would make it seem as if nothing of
real consequence to mans comfort had
hpeD done before 1897

Cartridge in n Tobacco Pine.

A fatal accident of an extraordinary
character has occurred at Nantes, near
Paris. A hotel proprietor, who formed
one Of party of sportsmen, had his
tobacco loose in pocket of his hunting
jacket, and in the same pocket had
placed his cartridges. In some way the
powder escaped from a cartridge and
got mixed with the tobacco. Uncon-
scious of this, he filled his pipe and lit it.
\ moment later the pipe exploded and
q fragment was blown into his eye with
such force that it pierced the brain and
killed the poor man.

Strong Words, But True.

There are monsters of depravity in
every community. The man of position
who abuses confidence, betrays inno-
cence and despoils virtue by covert de-
ceit and enticement, is as vile scoun-
drel and culprit as the brutal fend who
ruins and destroys by open assaults
and ruffianly violence. The seducer's
insidious wiles are vastly more danger.
Gus than the violator's rude force. Let
society stamp out of its sight all such
enemies of its most precious honor and
purity-purge itselfof the finely garbed
DEVILS in its midst-and thus protec'
itself from the satanic foes within a.
well as outside it's citadels GAINESVILLE

THIS is A DIFFERENCE.

A story TO Prove That intellectually
Is Not the Only Distinction.
Most persons think that the chief diff
ference between mems and women's
clubs is that the one is intellectually in
clined and the other isn't. But there are
other distinctions. At what organiza-
ton of men could the following incident
have taken place? asks the New York
Sun. 1t was at a gathering OF feminine
clans the other afternoon. and some
body, with that delightful irresponsi-
bility common to such occasions, wanted
to know the time.
'You see, forgot and left my watch
at home" she added regretfully, if not
officially. why, so did 1 leave mine,"
piped up the president, not to be out
done in informality. 80 did l, so
did l." chimed in the secretary and the
treasurer, while the chairman of the
executive committee announced grave
Iy: Mine was all ready to put on. but
came off in such a hurry that forgot
it after all"
All this while, however, the first vice
president had been tugging away at hel
belt in a business like way, and she
now produced a small timepiece. La
dies" she began, in a virtuous tone
while all the rest gazed at her with th'
utmost respect, "let me give you thu
time. You can always depend upon
But here she stopped, and, after staring
at the timepiece for full two seconds
she began to shake it and rap it in I
manner that might have alarmed any
one unfamiliar with women and thei'
ways with watches.
The gathering before her. however
being of her own sex, took it all mos
seriously. Suddenly the first vice presi
dent put the timepiece to her ear. "Oh,
she cried, while a sweet smile of salts
faction irradiated her face, there's
nothing the matter, after all. l wounc

WE'D EARLY IN LIFE.
Ages at Which Marriages May De Con-
tructed in Europe.


In Austria man" and woman"
are supposed to be capable of conduct
ing home of their own from the age
of IA. In Germany the man must be at
least IS years of age. In France the
man must be IS and the woman Is; in
Belgium the same. In Spain the in
tended husband must have passed his
fourteenth year and the woman her
twelfth. In Hungary, for Roman
Catholics, the man must be II years old
and the woman 12; for Protestants, the
man must be IS and the woman Is. In
Greece the man must have seen at least
II summers, and the woman -. In
Portugal boy of il is considered mar
riageable and woman of 12. In Rus
sia and SaXony they are ajlittle more
sensible, and youth must refrain from
entering into matrimony till he car
count IS years, and the woman till she
can count 12. In Switzerland the mer
from the age of ii and the women from
the age of u are allowed to marry. II
Turkey any youth and maiden who car
walk properly, and can understand the
necessary religious service, are allowed
to be united for life.

JERSEYS BLIND hEIREss.
A Most Interesting Woman Is Miss
Alice A. Holmes.

One of the most interesting women
imaginable is Miss Alice A. Holmes,
the heiress. Miss Holmes has just come
into $50C,000 or more, but there is no
drnger of her marrying any young
and ardent lover, for she is now in her
seyenty-ffth year, says Pennsylvania
Grit. Then the old woman is blind and
has been blind ever since she was II.
Recently her brother died in California
and left her big fortune, which she
purposes to spend in the amelioration
OF the sufferings of her fellow-af1icted
Kind. Miss Holmes lives in a quiet and
pretty street in Jersey City, and for 25
years she has struggled through de-
cent poverty. Her brother in Califor-
nia has always looked after her wants.
but Miss Holmes pride would not al
low him to support her, and she has
earned her own living well through the
years of her solitude. Early in life
she conceived a love for music, and al
though deprived of her sight she man
aged to master that difficult art. Once
that she became proficient she desired
to teach. And, strange to say, she was
quite as proficient as a teacher as she
was as a performer She found she
could succeed with pupils who had their
eyes as well as with pupils who had not.
And in that way she supported her
self, if not in elegance, at least in COM
fort. Now that Miss Holmes has been
rendered independent, she will devote
her money to the education of her fell
lows who are afflicted with blindness.
\ number of years ago Miss Holmes
published a volume of verses that have
the true ring of poetry in them.

DANGEROUS CHEMICALS.
The Time Has Arrived TO Put Legal
Restrictions on Their Sale.

Several more or less dangerous arti-
cles of chemical manufacture are be-
coming so largely employed for va
riety Of useful purposes now that some
restrictions as to their sale, conveyance
and storage are imperative, says the
San + rancisco Argonaut. Thousands of
gallons OF liquid" carbonic acid gas in
ateel cylinders under high compression
may now be seen every day being con-
veyed in carts from place to place, and
similarly other gases are stored under
pressure in tubes" as, for instance,
oxygen, hydrogen, nitrous oxide and so
on, all of which may expose the public
to danger. Solid bricks Of metallic
sodium, again (kept under naphtha, OF
course), are every day carried from
port to port as part of ships cargo,
anG very serious accidents have occa-
sioRally arisen from the intermiXture
of various chemicals on board ship by
the damaging effect of rough passage
uIon the packages. Still another chem
ical substance of comparatively recent
discovery is carbide of calcium, which
en- simply becoming moist gives off the
exceedingly infammable gas, acetylene
which, with air, forms an explosive mix

Your correspondent In Rio Janiero an

city to the effect that whole compa n les
OF BRAZILIAN troops were destroyed In

at Clnudes. The rebels used dynamite
with great effect when the govern.

great number OF soldiers were killed
by the explosions. The fanatics now

of war OF Brazil that Canudes be

placed scores OF dynamite bombs In

which will be exploded in the event OF

army,
