Electric Lights.

A Vienna professor gives it as his
opinion, after much research on the
subject, that all delicate persons and
those who suffer from nervousness
should never remain long in room
lighted by electric lights, its effect on
the nervous system being such that aft
er awhile they generally become uneasy
and depressed and find it impossible
to concentrate the attention for any
length of time. Young persons, on the
contrary, and those with strong nerves
find the influence of the light extremely
beneficial, especially when the brain is
overworked and tired, the effect being
much the same as that OF strong coffee
i. e., increased activity of the nerv-
Ous system

Pay In Advance for Lessons In Color Paint
ing.
Half a hundred Davenport young
ladies are convinced that they have
been swindled to the tune of 81. so
apiece, and are waiting to receive ev-
idence to the contrary. They an
swered the advertisement OF a firm
who offered 81 week to girls to do
copying. The copying turned out to
consist of the coloring of negatives
from which colored portraits were de-
veloped. In order that they might do
this rightly, instruction was necessa
ry. which was to be given on deposit
of $3.50. This price was also to cover
the materials furnished for work, and
this money was to be returned when
they turned over the material that
was left when they gave up the job.
According TO one of the girls, about
fifty had paid down the 81 50 each and
were yet to receive the materials.
When they reported for lesson at
1872 West Second street, Davenport,
where their teacher had made his head
quarters, the place was closed up and
the instructor gone. He hadn't left
any sign saying where he was to be
found, and if they ever get their money
back some of the girls will be happily
disappointed.

ATHLETIC LOVE MAKING.

David Campbell. a most affeetionate
young man, called on Miss Alice Ollie,
a young woman living at 6027 Broad
street, Pittsburg, the other evening.
says the Post of that city. The two
chatted pleasantly about the weather
for a while and gradually the converse
ton assumed a more friendly nature.
Campbell, it is alleged, placed his arm
around the young womans waist. Miss
Ollie was surprised and Immediately
endeavored to have the young man re-
lease his grasp. Instead, she asserted,
he caught her in a vise-like grip, and in
doing so crushed two of her ribs. a
physician was summoned and the in
jury properly attended to. Then she
sent for a lawyer and entered suit for
damages"
This is the narrowing story of true
love that struck a snag, as solemnly
related in the news columns of the
Pittsburg Post. But it is of more than
local interest. 1t is of vital import to
tender females everywhere, and of
financial interest TO semi-civilized
young men of every tribe and tongue
Girls have no desire to wear straight
Jackets for self-protection. nor do par

ing the family physician on hand with

fer that matter. should not imagine
that the athletic craze has penetrated
the parior, even if it is to be observed
almost everywhere else. They oughtn't
TO look upon courtship as trial OF
strength and endurance. No wonder
the young lady was surprised and IN
dertook to disengage the strong arm of
affection. People dress differently when
they receive company from what they
do for gymnastics. All these things
should be taken into consideration.
Then there is a difference between the
mechanism of the human body and that
of an iron lamp-post. But these are
matters that boys should learn before
they leave school Fathers of young
ladies who pay music teachers and
dress makers by the hour for ten or
fifteen years are doing enough for so
ciety. They shouldn't be required to
stand the expense of a male callers
neglected education.
1t seems that any modern swain,
whether he has been TO school or not,
should understand that women have
changed somewhat in the last 1000
years. Let him ask a maiden aunt if
he doubts it. According to Bertha NJ
Clay, romantic females are almost as
susceptible to touch of the hand as
they are TO the blow of pile-driver;

finger is fully as much appreciated by

obvious attempt to cast disfavor upon

WHEN MORTiCIANS MEET.

The morticians of Utah and neighbor-
ing states held convention in this city
yesterday and the day before. To avoid
any misunderstanding and avert a
panic it may be just as well to explain
right here that a mortician is a fin de
steele undertaker-a cadaver packer, an
enbalmer, who is not engaged in the
army contract business in Chicago.
There isn't any particular harm in a
mortician. He doesn't aim to hurt the
living, and his business is to help the
dead.
When morticians meet in convention
they never seek dark cellar decorated,
like the catacombs, with skulls and fe-
murs; they do not wear long robes of
black and sit around in solemn preci
sion and chant and chew the cud Of
morbid melancholy. There is enough Of
that in their business affairs. When
they lay aside the cares of death the
relaxation is something wonderful to
behold. They are like lot of 2-vear-
old colts that have been kept in the
barn all winter and turned out in spring
for a frolic. They have more fun than
anybody.
The undertaken is never so welcome
as when he isn't engaged in his mystic
work Long life to the mortician May
he never die from overwork. The more
idle days he has the more happy homes
are in the land
