The Young Girl in Society.

From Harper's Weekly.
 Mrs. Mary St. Leger Harrison. d4ugh- ter of Charles Kingsley, known as writ CT as Lucas Malet, has been giving some consideration to questions relating to American society," She finds that our society" has drawbacks, and instances as the most notable among these that in the United States the young girl Is of too much importance. Ordinarily we resent the imputations put upon us by foreign critics, but in this instance we are rather glad to acknowledge the corn and to add further that we glory in our weakness. No man ever lost anything of his fineness by trying to live up to the ideal the young girl has of him. No raconteur ever found greater spur to the telling of his stories in the best possible form than that which comes through the knowledge that the ear of fresh and eager mind Is hanging upon his words. No brilliant conversationalist ever found his brilliance dimmed in the presence of a young creature whose appreciation of his wit and wide range of knowledge were as yet undulled by the long years of contact with blase world. We un- questionably do pay great deal of atten- ton to the young girl in this country, and 1t has been one of the refining clements of our social evolution, and we venture to think that when we change our plan and sequestrate the young girl in the sacred precincts of the nursery, we shall not only stunt her development to her own very great wrong, but build up for ourselves new society which shall be a selfish, hollow sham; devoid of charm; devoid of freshness: devoid of life, beauty and happiness; and made up of groups of erudite egotists than whom there is no greater bore in all creation.

SNAIL EATERS OF NEW YORK.
There Are Enough of Them to Make
 Lively Import Trade.

From the N. Y. Commercial-Advertise
 There Is a scarcity of snails. The de- crease has been so marked in Burgundy and Southern France that the authorities of that country are to investigate the cause Importing delicatessen firms of this city expect the price of edible snails to go higher as the winter advances, and for this reason not so many will be com stunned in this country. Most of the snails imported are eaten by the foreign ele- ment and a few of the Americans who acquired the taste in Paris. The major ity of people, however. take no interest in these animals further than to read of their consumption.
 Between 5000 and 10000 snails are ex- pected on the French line steamship ar- irving this week. this consignment being for one single firm. There are a number of firms that receive weekly shipments, and from New York these animals are re. consigned to various parts of the coun- try, some going as far west as Denver, Sacramento and San Francisco. It is cs- timated that during the height of the sea son from 5000 to 35000 snails are import ed each week from France and Italy, where the wine merchants who own vine yards gather them for the market after first gathering the grapes. These animals at one time grew there in great abun- dance feeding upon the tendrils and leaves of the grape vines. The snail sea- son lasts from about the middle of Octo- Der until some time in April, during which period, it Is said, between one-half and three-quarters of a million come to this country.
 As soon as cool weather sets in the snail hibernates: the slime emitted from the mouth of the snail at that time be- comes vitrifed, and not until this vitri- fication sets in are snails ready for the market. The unprepared snails are now bringing q. .25 hundred; those dressed for the market sell for 35 cents dozen A few years ago snails were on the free tariff list, but at the present time there is 20 per cent import duty upon them.
 The snail as a food is as popular in France as the oyster in this country, and according to some authorities the French people consume as many in one day as they export to this country during the entire season. They are considered a them raw. There is also a medicinal paste made of them, which is used as a specific for tuberculosis.
 snails are served they bring about 50 cents dozen. The popular way of cook ing them is to first allow them to simmer for about twenty-four hours in herbs; they are then smothered in spice When served to the guests the gourmonds and epicures use a silver snail pin or tooth pick to extricate the animal from the shell. According to restauranteurs the diet is very rich. and there Is nothing more delicious to the palate than a hot. spicy snail.

 young voice that had plainly never known a lesson, but that stirred the heart. The greatest of tenors went below to see the singer She looked like child He could see that she was scarcely more than that.
 He introduced himself. He asked per-
 mission to call at her hotel in London and hear her sing again. and when he had done so he gave her a letter to his friend, Mrs. Freda Ashworth of New York. Co back to New York and study study. study with Mime. Ashworth" he said.
 | When the Empire engagement was fin- | ished Mrs. Pickens and her daughters returned to New York. Miss Bessie began her studies with Mrs. Ashworth, who trained the voices of Mime. Traubman of the Metropolitan Opera Company and Miss Katherine Hike, the choir solost.
 As Jean de Reszke had advised, she
 studied. For three years she studied and then she fell i'll, the doctors said, from
 overstudy. It was just as she was to make her debut at the Metropolitan Opera House. It required six months to nurse back her health and voice. And here Mrs. Ashworth gentle, gray-haired woman, who has trained voices longer than the present generation has lived. takes up the thread of the story.
 'I didn't want to take her at first" she said. T had never taught opera bouffe singers. and confess to prejudice. But when I had tried her voice 1 saw that she would do better than that How she worked! And how I workedl Applica- ton! Application! Application!
 But I was more than pleased with her voice. 1t was individual. 1t was like the singing of a bird in the woods very high. sweet soprano. It was a big voice, too, for so young woman. She had so much boise. In May I took her over to sing for M. Capoul. She had learned all her French in this country from Mile. Esquesse. But when she sang for M.

 He arranged for her to sing for M Gaiihard, the director of the opera, and he said he would train her in stage de- pertinent, and if she were apt in that he would engage her. Last week RI.

UNLuckY THIRTEEN.
The Superstition Has Existence Even
 In Royal Circles.

From the London Express.
 A curious incident occurred in connec- tion with the royal journey from Ball moral to the south. The Duke of Ath2 travelled from Dunkeld to Petrth with the intention of awaiting the arrival of the royal train. In consequence of delay on the Highland railay the train by which his grace travelled was detained, and the Duke did not reach Perth until few minutes after the royal party.
 Their majesties by this time sat down to dinner in the Station Hotel, and the Marquis of Breadalbane had been asked, to dine. As soon as the marquis was made aware of the dukes arrival he informed his majesty. and suggested that his grace should also join them. Some of the ladies, however. pointed out the fact that the. duke would make the party one of thir-' teen. The Marquis of Breadalbane promptly offered to sacrifie himself, and with his majesty's permission retired, the Duke of Athol taking his place.

 A day at time how 1 would feel the next day. Five bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound changed all that, my days became days of health, and have enjoyed every day since-now six years.
 We have used considerable of your Vegetable Compound in our charitable work, as we find that to restore poor mother to health so she can support her self and those dependent upon her, if such there be, is truer charity than to give other aid. You have my hearty endorsement, for you have proven yourself true friend to suffering wo- men. ."-MRs. E. SAmEB, 75616 Hill St., Los Angeles, Cal.-S5ooo to,feft # abous tes- dmoniai is not genuine.

A COMMON TROUBLE.
Thousands suffer From It Without
 Knowing It's Real Character.

No trouble Is more common or more mlsunderst ood than nervous dyspepsia. People having 1t think that their nerves are to blame are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicines and spring remedies The real seat of the mischief is lost sight of The stomach is the organ to be looked after
 Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stomach. nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not so much in the stomach so much as in nearly every other organ in some cases the heart palpitates and is irregular; in others the kidneys are af- fected; in others the bowels are troubled with loss of flesh and appetite, with the accumulation of gas, sour risngs and heartburn.
 Mir. A. W. Sharper of No 6l Prospect St., Indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows "A motive of pure gratitude prompts me to write these few lines regarding the new and valuable medicine, Stuarts Dys. pepsia Tablets have been a sufferer from nervous dyspepsia for the last four years; have used various patent medi- cines and other remedies without any favorable result They sometimes give temporary relief until the effects of the medicine wore off. I attributed this to  my sedentary habits being a bookkeeper with little physical exercise, but I am glad to state that the tablets have over come all these obstacles, for I have gained in flesh, sleep better and am bet ter in every way. The above is written not for notoriety, but Is based on actual facts"

Palmistry being frowned on by the
law, we must tell characters in another
way. Why not study necks? Thus the
most stupid animals and birds, such as
the giraffe, the ostrich, the swan and
the goose, have the longest necks.
whereas the most docile Of brutes-the
elephant, for example-posscss the
shortest. Those again which are the
most powerful have the thickest necks.
The most feeble generally possess the
slenderest. "a fine, strong and power
fully outlined neck is that of Lord
Roberts. It tells Of dignity, self re-
lance, firmness and resolution. This Is
the neck Of a man who will see a job
