THE DTFFERENCE.

Did you ever notice the differences be-
tween an Old woman and young wo-
man running to catch a street car? No?
Well there is a decided difference.
The woman who has age and gray
hairs to her credit tries hard to sprint.
but it is a sorry attempt The oonduc-
tor usually respects her good inten-
tions and holds the car for her, Every
body on the car sympathizes with her
In her endoavOrs to make her tOtter-
ing limbs perform a task to which they
are unused and which is almost be
yOnd their power. when she enters
the car she is regarded with mute evi-
dences of sympathy and respectful at
tention. She looks tagged out for
little while, and then takes some in
terest in her surroundings. After she
has recovered her breath she makes
some remark to the person next to her
about not being ais young as she used
to be- and then considers THAT her full
duty is done after she has fished FIVE
cent piece out of her purse and handed
it to the conductor.
When a young woman makes a
break for a car she thinks that the
world is against her The conductor
rings his bell on her. Everybody
laughs. The excitement of the sprint
makes her pale until she reaches thA
car and is seated. Then she begins to
blush terribly, and every time she sees
two passengers exchanging looks, words
or smiles She imagines that she is the
subject of their thoughts Nobody
sympathizes with her, and she knows
IT, She is almost sorry that She did
not wait for the next car. Her intui-
tiOn tells her that she afforded every
body amusement, and that gals her.
She is. confident that the two young
men opposite passed some remark
upon her running and she hates them
In consequence. Her gloves require her
attention, and when they have been ad-
justed to her satisfaction she
turns her thought to her
bonnet which has gone awry.
She does not recover from the excite
ment until she leaves the car at the
oSher end of the trip. and then she isnot
easy until she has told her chum and
confident all about Il. She makes men
tai oath that she will never again, un-
der any circumstance. demean herself
by sprinting along the piTSlic streets.
only to break 1t at the next favorable
opportunity. Then she passes through
the same ordeal OF blushing and spccii-
lation as to what the boys thought of
her as she plunged through the life

DENMAN THOMPSON'S NEW PLAY.
Denman Thompson and George w.
Ryer, authors of that lasting triumph,
"The Old Homestead" are most orlgi-
nal at play-making, and something
very interesting may surely be looked
for in their latest great success, THE
Sunshine of Paradise Al,ey,' which
comes to the Grand Opera House next
Friday night, January IA. The play
touches the heart and Is delightful
from beginning to end, and is be-
sprinkled with sufficient humor to be
a good foil to the tinge of sadness
that pervades Ii. There can be no
question as to the success of the new
play, when ministers of the gospel
urge their congregations to attend it
and preach its moral in the pulpit; it
must be above the average when promi-
nent educators encourage students to
witness the play, it is a sufficient guar
antee Of its wholesomeness. This is
entirely different from the play Para
disc Alley" which appeared here last
season.

Writ which are not good enough to be
used by certain fashionable women who
affect conventional speech and bring
up their children on stale and stilted
phrases and expressions which detract
from that freedom of speech and ac-
ton which constitute the chief charm
Of childhood.
Illustrative Of this the Wayfarer
hears of an incident which occurred in
a home on West street. The mother
would not permit her little daughter to
say dress goods" She must say dress
materials" The word goods" was
good enough for common people, but
would not go in the fashionable home
The child acquiesced and the word
goods became obsolete and imboMte
in the lexicon provided for her by her
mother.
Time passed, and It became neces-
sary for the child to learn the cate
chism. She made rapid progress, and
one day the spiritual adviser of the
family was invited to test her memory.
When il came to the divine command,
Thou shalt not cOvet other mems
goods" the little girl astonished her
pastor and astounded her mother by
saying Thou shalt not covet or de-
sire other mems material"
Then the mother realized the force
and effect of simple words. and the
mistake she had made in endeavoring
TO restrict her child in the use Of le-
gitlmate words to express her thoughts
and meaning.

WHAT Makes THEM WDARY

No wonder the girls up in the tele-
phone exchange grow weary and villa
once in a while. Yesterday the Way
farer gave the usual half turn OF the
handle, and put the trumpet to his ear
to call for a number. The wires were
crossed or something, for all that no
could hear was:
NO. Blank wants 562 562l Hellol
Oh hello. No. Blank wants 562, 562,
562."
The Wayfarer concluded That IL was
a case OF life or death at the other
end of the line, and hung up the
trumpet to give the exchange an oppor-
tunity to recover from the shock Of
such an urgent emergency call.

The Flankins Movement.

No battle plans have heen more gen.
orally used than the flanking move-
ments intended to overwhelm one end
of an opponents fighting line, to the
great and probably fatal weakening Of
the rest Of his position. The Confeder.
ates used these tactics in their most suc-
cessful battles of the civil war, and it
is worthy of notice that their attacks
which were particularly daring and
successful were almost invariably made
against the Federal right wing.
The troubles peculiar to that unlucky
part Of the northern armies began at
Bull Run, and continued, east and west,
for over two years. At that battle the
Federal right wing made we'll planned
movement against the Confederate left.
Both sides fought we'll for new troops,
"Stonewall" jackson earning his battle
name by the resistance he and his men
made to the attack against them. but
the Federals had gained ground and
were still advancing, when fresh Con-
federate forces fell on the regiments at
the right end of their line Of battle.
The historical stampede that followed
was an unfortunate but perfectly nat
ural result. = 'sThe Unlucky Right
Wing" by Gilbert Tompkins. in North

colleagues with whom he is On especial
ly familiar terms by the name Of their
diocese instead of by their surnames,
and in correspondence frequently makes
use of his own and other titles. relates
the Washington Times.
It is related that on one occasion he
wrote letter to the other bishop refer
red to and in signing it used the term
civilian Of Albany" instead Of his
name. His correspondent promptly re-
piled to the letter, and in his answer
said:
"It is really too bad, bishop. that
you are not Of the western diocese Of
your state instead Of Albany. II you
were. you might very appropriately
sign yourself Buffalo Bill. ."

A Remarkable Lake.

The most remarkable body Of water
in the world lies in the vicinity Of the
Colorado river. in southern California.
In this region Of ugly volcanoes, desc.
late wastes and Shiny swamps, the
etrangest phenomenon Of all is what
the naturalists call flake of ink. -
No other description fits as we'll.
The strange black fluid that forms
the lake bears no resemblance to water.
The pool of ink is situated about half
mile from volcano. It is about an
acre in area. The surface is coated with
gray ashes from the volcanoes to the
thickness Of about six inches, thus CON-
cealing it's real nature.
Experience has proved that the black
fluid Of the lake is not poisonous It
acts as a dye, and cotton goods soaked
in it keep their color for months, even
when exposed to the sun. They also ac-
quire stiffness similar to that produced
by weak starch. The fluid has been
analysed. but its component parts have
not been made known. As to the source
Of the supply Of the lake. nothing def
mite has been ascertained. Il is undoubt-
edly OF volcanic origin, but nothing
more definite is known.
This is bad land that has never been
traversed. Human beings have tried It,
but they never return to, tell Of their ex-

Wet and Damp.

The sudden application of wet sheet
is a stimulus to which the system re-
spends with q reaction which sets up a
brisk circulation, resulting in healthy
glow aud general activity of the organs.
In addition to this. it is probable that
some of the evil "humors'' of the body
may be dissolved out through the pores
of the skin.
All this is healthy, provided the sys-
tenn can Withstand the shock and the
heat is kept in by blankets outside the
sheet. In the case of damp sheets, how
ever, there is no stimulus, and the body
merely loses heat in absorbing the mois-
ture.
This loss contracts the surface vessels
and drives an excess of blood buck upon
the internal organs. Added to this dis.
turbance of tho blood circulation there
is also q congestion of the lubricating
fluids of the surfaces muscles and joints,
which produces stiffness and in serious
cases rheumatism, complicated through
the other causes with "ever.
