WOMEN AND WORRY.
A Feminine Failing Contrasted to Mans
Indifference.


Despite the fact that women have
been warned that worry digs untold
wrinkles in their faces and sprinkles
gray among their tresses, they will &c
on worrying through all time or until
time has solved some mooted ques'
tions. If women had the capacity with
men of getting up and doing battle
with things, worry would slip off theiI
shoulders as easily as from off those
Of the average masculine. Man doesn't
worry about debt, because he feels thai
he has it within him, since money
making is his business, to make suffi-
cient money to pay his debts some
time. Women look at it more prac-
tically and consider the now. Man
doesn't usually worry about his health
because he really has not the time
Man doesn't worry about the future
he is so madly interested in the pres
emit; nor about his clothes, for the
tailor stands between him and that;
nor about home matters-they, from

he comes home to badly cooked din
ner, and then in his broad outlook
there is no excuse for this state of
things; for in business circles if an en-
ploye does not do his work properly
his employer gets some one who can;
and this is method that will yet come
to be powerful lever in the leveling
of womans worries.

Il have seen thousands of persons
die under all sorts of circumstances
and never yet have l seen one display
the slightest fear of death" This re-
markable statement was made the
other day by physician who has prac-
ticed many years in Philadelphia, and
who has seen a great deal of hospital
service. 1T is popular fallacy," he
went on, "to imagine that deathbed
scene is ever terrible, other than as a
parting between loved ones. The fear
of the unknown is never present at the
last. Even amid ignorance and vice
have never experienced such scenes as
novelist, who strives after realism,
will sometimes picture. When pa
tient Is told he cannot recover and the
end is near. he invariably seems re-
signed to his fate, and his only thought
seems to be of those who are to be left
behind This is true alike CT men and
women. Those who become historical
and declare they are not fit to die are
the ones who are not as Ill as they
think they are. They always get well.
A psychological reason? o, l don't
know that there is any. It's just a
human trait"

So prosperous has been the herring
season at Yarmouth that the Scotch
fishing girls who have been cleaning
preparing, curing and packing the fish
were able to accomplish their 500-mile
journey home to Peterhead in a
special train, which stopped only twice
for changes of engines. The train con-
sisted of two fine corridor coaches and
three comfortable saloons, and at the
rear were four luggage vans, all full
of personal belongings of the girls.
The ordinary garb OF the lasses when
pursuing their vocation comprises
short top boots reaching to the knee
and short skirts, with oily frocks over
them. They wear no hats or bonnets
even in the pelting raia.-London

In the death OF Commander e. P.
Wood at his honas In Washington, ID.
c., after an illnsss OF cniy six days,
the American navy has sustained the
loss of one of its bravest officers. OF
the gallant men who Illustrated the
traditions of the navy in the far east
during the recent war with Spain not
one of them, save Admiral Dewey
himself, achieved greater distinction
on the score of individual prowess
than Commander Wood, who COM
manded the Petrol in the celebrated
engagement at Manila. Commander
Wood was ordered to command the
Petrol December 16, 1896, and it was
while in that command that he earned
the highest praise of Admiral Dewey
and his brother officers. The Petrol
is the tiniest of gunboats, and Is al
most wholly without protection. The
Spanish ships that remained afloat had
sought shelter under the guns of the
forts at Cavite, and Dewey's ships could
not get at them. The little Petrol,

In the course of a public discussion
on womens dress at Berlin the other
day Prof. Rubner condemned the long
skirt as frequent cause of accidents
and as a promoter of neuralgia pains,
which were brought on by constantly
holding up the dress. Prof. Brock
mueller, the artist, while not denying
the gracefulness in general of trains,
pointed out that in any quick move
ment the effect was the reverse of
graceful and recommended short
dresses, especially at dances. Nine.
Seller advocated the short skirts be-
cause it was unworthy of women to
yield to a fashion which made the
wearer a slave to her garments, and
because the short skirts made those
who wore them look younger. In the
end the meeting resolved by large
majority that long walking dresses are
irreconciliable with the modern ac-
quirements of hygiene, liberty of move
ment and beauty. - London Daily

An Egyptian Flower Show.

Under the patronage of the khedive
of Egypt, who is a rare lover of gar
dening, an exhibition is to take place
at Ghezireh, Cairo, on March 30 and 81
and April l. 1900, at which Americans
are especially invited to be competi-
tors. A program in very good English
has been prepared, which may be had
by addressing w. Wilfred Carey, secre-
tary, Kasr-el-Doubara, Cairo, Egypt.
Carnations, lilies, pansies, phlox,
stocks, violets, roses and ANY goo6
thing not specified" are among the
special articles to be exhibited by for
lists, for which silver medals and sums
of money are offered.

EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS.
The Island OF Ceram, Near Japan, Lost
5000 of Its Inhabitants.

O,UUO
The earthquakes of the early part OF
November, which shook the entire ia
panese coast, wrought fearful havoc
among the Molucca islands, in the
Malay Archipelago. Advices are at
hand dealing with the destruction
wrought on one of these islands-Ce-
ram. This island has an area of $500
square miles, and population of TO-
000 1t is under the Jurisdiction of
Holland and is peopled chiefly by Ma
lays, many of whom are engaged in
fishing. The people are chiefly Mo-
hammedans, though Christianity is
making progress under the fostering
care of missionaries. The island was
fairly prosperous before the Novem-
Der earthquakes, but now everything
is in ruins Several villages have
been practically wiped out. At Hat
oesia, out Of population of 500 peo-
pie, Ice -.ere killed and 400 injured.
Al. sSld, 5000 persons were killed in
rhe seismic disturbances that are de-
scribed as having been terrifying, and
five times that number were injured.
In the bay of Ambonia the sea rushed
in the form of tidal wave and spread
itself out on the lowfal.ds to height
of fifty feet. The whole coast for
miles was transformed into huge
mudpuddle. Corpses We're everywhere.
Broken trees and portions of houses
were buried in the ooae. Every few
rods were ground mounds of stones
and boulders that had been washed up
from the sea, changing the entire ty-
biography of the country. At several
places the waves swept over the tops
of trees thirty feet high, leveling ev
erything before them. No such wish
tation has ever been experienced in
Ceram before and it is doubtful if any
earthquake has had higher rate of
dead and injured. In many cases
bodies were swallowed up, so that the
aggregate of the dead in the region
affected will never be known. Among
the isla.ds $4,000 persons persisted.

REASONS FOR SOME WARS.
Apparently Doesn't Take Much to Lead
John Bull to Fight.

John Bull to Fight.
An English paper has the following
to say on the reasons fer some British
wars: From al appearances 1t does
no: take much provocation to set John
Bull at war. William the Conqueroi
made war on Frarce because King
Philip had made sighting allusion
to his embonpoiht. More recent wara
have been brough: about by trivial in.
cidents. In 1910 a iArge trade in opium
was done by British traders in China,
and the Chinese .sserpment at length
forbade the importation Of the per
nicious drug by hg: sailors. The edict,
however, had little Or no effect, and the
trade continued till at length the
Chinese imprisoned number of Brit
ish subjects and we promptly declared
war. Our second war, in 1856, ought
never to have come about II its origin
is taken into account. A Chinese pi-
rate hoisted the British flag at his
mainmast, and was afterward seized by
his government as a bloodthirsty ad-
venturer. Had he failed to run up our
flag his capture would have been re-
garded as good thing here, but as 1t
was, 1t was taken as an insult, and we
made war on the Chinese for refusing
to apologize. The horrors of the In
dian mutiny will still be remembered
by minority of our readers, and the
cause which led to it is matter OF
history. Cartridges creased with cows
fat were served out to the Sepoys, who
refused to use them on the ground that
the cow was sacred animal. We in
sisted, and almost without any warn
ing, the terrible massacres followed,
which were only avenged at an enor-
nous expenditure of lives and money"

Although once the possessor of a
vast continent, the American Indians
are today poor people. Except in a
few cases where they have separated
from the mass of their race and adopt
ed the life of their white neighbors,
their accumnlations of property cut a
comparatively small figure in the total
wealth of the country. A rare excep-
ton to the rule is found in the person
of DR.. Acland Oronhyatekha, Cana
dian Inuian, who has gained both
wealth and fame by force of his genius
and business ability. DR.. Oronhya-
tekha's good fortune began in 1860, at
Brantford, Ont, when he, lad of 10,
CHANGED to meet the prince of Wales,
who was then making tosr
impressed with the brightness
of the young man that he
invited him to England and gave him
an education at Oxford university.
Oronhyatekha afterward studied medi-
cine at Toronto university, graduating
therefrom in due course. He was high
ly successful as a physician, but his
best fortune came in connection with
the Ancient Order of Foresters, fra
ternal benefit society which he organ
lied and carried to success. He has
been the chief official OF this order for
years, and is said to receive a s2laEy
of $4,000 year. He owns q n;agnifi-
cent house and entertains sumptuously.
Mrs. Oronhyatekha is great-grand-
daughter of the famous chief, Joseph
Brant, who figured largely in the Indian
troubles of early days. She is woman
of noble character and many accom-
lishments.-Leslie's Weekly.

Office, 1000 Main street. Prices will
range from 81 to Sc. There Will be
nothing sold at less than u dollar, for
the reason that Padercwski will not
permit it. A clause in his contract
with Mr.. Kron berg, the local manage err,
stipulatcs that 81 shall be the mini
mum price for adm sson - Pade-
rewskis compliment to his own artistic
dignity But if 81 Is deemed large for
the least desirable seats, the price for
the best is cut in two. -Four dollars
was charged when Padercwslki played
at the Auditorium four years ago and
even at that figure the big theater
was packed to the roof. His success
in the East has been enormous, in fact,
at every place he has played there was
only standing room the day of his APP
pearance. And from present indica-
tion there is no doubt that Convention
hall will be filled to its capacity.
The program will be selected from
the best of his repertoire.
For Paderew ski's recital a special
stage will be erected in the center of
the arena, about twenty-five feet east
of the west row of boxes, which will
bring the pianist within easy hearing
and seeing distance of all parts of the
hall In playing he will face trifie
north of east. A false ceiling will be
built above the stage, just below the
Cirders, which will assist in improving
the acoustics.
