WHEN GIRLS USE SLANG.
They Lose the Esteem and Respect OF
Refined People.

They Lose the Esteem and Respect OF
Refined People.
at is unfortunate that slang phrases
are so easily slipping into our every
day conversation, and taking apparent
ly so fixed a place in our talk" writes
Edward w. Box in the Ladies' Home
Journal. "And the worst of it is that
so many people are using slang en-
tirely unconscious of the fact that they
are doing so. If the common usage Of
slang were confined to a particular or
der of girls it would, perhaps, serve as
an indicator of character, and pass un-
noticed. It would, at least, not touch
the sensibilities of gentlefoik. But it
is not SO confined. Slang is invading
the very incest. of circles; it is begin
ming to influence the talks of our most
carefully reared girls. And this is why
the habit should receive closer atten-
ton. Girls are forgetting that slang
phrases and refinement are absolutely
foreign to each other. A slang phrase
may be more expressive than term of
polite usage, but it is never impressive.
except to impress unfavorably. It is
high time that our girls should realize
that they should speak the English Ian
guage, in their conversation, and not
the dialect OF the race-track, nor the
lingo of the base ball field. A girl may
cause smile by the apt use of some
slang phrase. But, inwardly, those
who applaud her place her, at the same
time, in their estimation. No girl ever
won an ounce of respect by being
slangy. On the contrary, many a girl,
unconscious of the cause, has found
herself gradually slipping out of peo-
pies respect by the fact that her talk
was dotted with slang phrases. oh,
she is clever said woman not long
ago, of girl who could keep COM
pany constantly amused by her apt use
Of slang. She amuses me greatly.
But l should not care to invite her to
my home nor have my girls know her.
1t is a poor popularity for a girl, which
has as its only basis the cap and bells
of the jester. The life Of the Jester is
never long"

THE JEwEss IN HER HOME.
Her Mission Is the Gospel Of Sweetness
and Light.

ana Light
Emerson has said eff you would
know a thing truly you must see 1t in
its setting" The setting of the Jewesa
is her home; she cannot be known else
where, and how many Christians ever
see her there? If necessity, or per-
version of taste, or greed, place her be
hind counter, or bring her to the
marts where merchants do congregate,
she does not appear as her true self;
metaphorically speaking, she dona
mans garments, something forbidden
in the Sacred Law Of Moses. The Jew
ess was never meant for a society lady,
nor for devotee of the literary and
poetical art; only in time of the deep
est national emotion Miriam or Deb
ora would arise. Although she knows
the use Of the tongue as we'll as any
OF her sisters in other regions of the
earth, she is never applauded for being
"a brilliant conversationalist. Meth
er is she intended for sanity reclus5
or Observation-Disclosures penitent.
Her mission is the gospel of sweetness
and light, to smooth the rough places
of this world; to delight by her grace
and beauty, If SO favored by God. 9th
erwise, she consoles herself with the
assurance of her classical poet, that,
after all, Grace may prove deceitful
and beauty vanity, the woman that
feareth God, her praise endureth for
ever" GIVE her of the fruit of her
hands; and let her own works praise
her."-Dr. Gustav Gottheil in Ladies'
Home Journal.

And health restored. Such an issue does
not always end the struggle, bat it did in
the case Of Mr.. x. Morris, Memphis, Tenn,
who saw his wife wasting and weakening
and physicians helpless, and then suR-
Rested the simple remedy that wrought
the cure. He tells the story thus:
"seven years ago. my wife had severe
attack Of lung trouble which the ply
slcians pronounced consumption. The
cough was extremely distressing, espe-
cially at night, and was frequently
attended with the splitting OF blood, The
doctors being unable to help her, in
dgced her TO try DR. Ayers Cherry PICTORIAL

gave. Before using one whole bottle she
was cured, so that now she is strong and

Each Of the watehmen when he goes
on duty is armed with the latest i'm.
proved revolver, and a supply Of re-
volvers, rifles and carbines is stored IN
many Of the rooms. With these the can
tain of the watch could on the instant
arm several hundred men. Outside
watchmen are stationed in the watch
houses, which are SO situated as to
command the entire building. The
treasury day closes at 4 o'clock, at
which hour work in the building
ceases. At 5 o'clock all doors are clos
ed, except the main one, and the keys
are delivered to the captain Of the
watch. By o'clock every one except
the watchmen must have left the build
ing. After that hour no one is ever adj
mitted except the secretary of the
treasury, the treasurer and the assist
ant treasurer.

Novel italian Couch,

Professor Mosso, the Italian physi-
ologist, constructed a couch so ar
ranged that it could be accurately ball
anced in the middle, when the slight
est change of weight would make
either end incline. A man was laid
upon it, balanced in a horizontal posi-
ton. AS he went to sleep his head rose
and his feet sank. AS he awoke the
opposite occurred, proving that the
blood left the head in the one condi-
ton and returned to it in the other.

for enforcing law and preserving peace
in the event of lawless uprisings. In
the plans for the new mint at Sixteenth
and Spring Garden streets, provision is
made for the mounting Of guns at the
four corners of the building and the
same idea will be introduced in the
new federal building in Chicago.
General Miles would increase the size
of the permanent guard within the fed

necessary and would see to it that all
such buildings are constructed with

The question; "Is consumption cura-
Bile ," Is still debated, and stiff debatsble.
1t is easy to say that this was not case of
consumption. Yet the physicians said il
was. They should know. As a matter
of fact, DR.. Ayers Cherry Pectora1 has
wrought so many similar cures that 1t
seems to argue the curableness of con-
sumption, in its earlier stages, by the use
OF this remedy. There is no better medi-

cases of Asthma, and Bronchitis, where re-

In every great city a sudden upris-
ing of the vicious or misguided is al
ways a latent possibility. There have
been occasions which are likely to oc-
cur again in this country, in times of
national peace, when the police estab-
lishment has been inadequate to quell
a mob, and the arrival of the regular
armed troops has been necessarily too
tardy to prevent destruction of public
property. To guard against such con-
tingencies General Miles strenuousIy
advocates the equipment Of the Treas
ury building in Washington, the sub
treasures in the various cities and
other similar buildings with a few
pieces of effective ordnance to be di-
rected against an advancing mob.
Some Of these buildings, the Mint, for
instance, have for some years contain
ed Calling guns that the captains of the
watch would not hesitate to order to
be fired into a street mob upon occas-
ion. All the sub-treasuries and the
treasury in Washington contain small
larsenal Of revolvers, rifles, carbines and
,ammunition,t that is regularly inspected,
and a part Of which is daily and night
ily in the hands of the watchmen in
charge Of the buildings.
General Miles and many others in
high places at the seat of the national
government are firm believers in the
efficacy of the permanent visible pres
ence Of the instruments for the en-
forcement of law and the preservation
of peace. In their opinion, therefore. a
few Calling guns permanently mounted
outside the federal buildings, COM
handing the approaches thither, would
prove quite as effective in preventing
lawless uprisings as their shots would
be in quelling actual outbreaks. Should
the counsels Of these men prevail the
brassy mouthpiece of the majesty Of
military force, always ready to belch
forth its death-dealing missiles against
sinister host, may become a common
sight in the spots where Uncle Sam
boards his gold and silver and bonds.

Company. These cases in the courts and
department already number many thous-

Irritation and hardship to settlers. The
act applies TO the future as Well as the
past, and provides that the Northern Pa

its right IS disputed by settlers and take

The same privilege TO abandon contested
