WOMEN AS TRAVELLERS.
They Are Much Less Restless Than the Men When JourEeying
 About the Country

Are women good travellers? If one believes the average man they are not, if one believes his own sight they are-far better even than the detractors who critIcise them with so high and mighty an air, says the Baltimore News.
 It is perfectly true that the aver age feminine cannot make out from time table whether the 2:40 train arrives at her town at six a. m. or seven D. m. It is true that she reaches the station good half hour before she should, and spends the in- terim trying to find the baggage room and making false starts through the gate 10 board trains bound in diametrically opposite di- rections to the one in which she Is going-impulses which are greatly checked by the uniformed employe of the road.
 But once in a coach which she is as- sured is the proper one the average woman shows her adaptability by settling down quietly in her seat and preparing o pass the time as pleas antly as possible. She doesn't tramp up and down the aisle continually; she doesn't, of course, spend every alternate ten minutes in the smok- ing-room; she doesn't complain to the porter of the readbed, nor to the train boy of the few magazines and papers that he sells, nor to the con- ductor of the heat and dust. She doesn't raise and lower the window eternally-she couldn't if she wanted to-nor does she get off the train at every station at which the train stops and tramp frantically up and down the platform, swinging herself on the moving coach at the last min ute to the imminent danger of life and limb.
 The average woman reads her book with patience beautiful to behold. no matter what the discomforts of the journey, and moves not at all until she alights immediately clean and composed al the end of her five hour trip.
 A man, his wife and two children entered a day coach in which the writer sat the other day and gave an apt illustration of the difference in the way the sexes travel. The man, as soon as he had seated his charges. washed his hands of re- sponsibility and bolted for the smok- ing car The woman set to work quietly to amuse the little ones and keep them quiet. She whispered story 10 them; she pinned hand kerchief out of the window and made flag oI it: she made balls of an- other handkerchief and rabbits, and so kept those babies quiet and con tented for six hours. At the end of that time back came the hus- band breathless.
 Are you ready to get off?" he asked. Here we are at Baltimore. It's been a terrible trip, hasn't itP So hot. I'm tired 70 death.'
 "I rather enjoyed it." replied the woman. Was it warm? You see I was too busy to notice. Yes, every thing is ready. Pm sorry you're tired" And there wasn't a trace of sarcasm in her tones.

When asked what anarchists want Herr Most replied: ''We wage war against private property, against the state and against the church." It is a large programme and murder is the weapon. Society will deal with anarch- ish according to it's own avowal.

No Lack of Cause.

A Connecticut bride left her hus- band three days after their marriage because he was one of triplets and so like his two brothers that she could not tell which of the three she married. Any court ought to pro- nounce that ample ground for divorce.

Opportunity for Notoriety.

The country now will have to pull through the additional agony of a long-drawn-out trial, with a result already determined, as in the case of Guiteau. The opportunity it offers to lawyers to acquire notoriety is too tempting to be resisted.

MOONS PHASES.

The taste which Is catered TO by
lengthy, detailed and elaborate illus
A. NJ - trated descriptions
OF murders, sui
~ cides and all sorts
of blood-curdling catastrophes is the
came in essence (and even more I'M
mitigated in its deprayity) as that
which reyeled in the gladiator and wild
beast contests of the ancient Roman
amphitheaters, and which in some
countries keeps alive the bullfight in
its most hideous forms, asserts
writer in the Conservative Review.
Lavish descriptions of unsavory di-
vorce suits and prurient scandals re-
sulting from real or alleged offenses
against sexual purity appeal to the
same taste as that which is catered to
by the purveyors OF the literature
which is professedly obscene. 1t is
certain that the newspaper descrip-
tons of these and other crimes breed
an immense number of similar offenses.
When a particularly strange and
shocking crime has been spread be-
fore the public in all its siekening
details, it is almost invariably fol-
lowed by an outcrop Of offenses too
strikingly similar TO have had an in
dependent origin. Persons of weak
character or Unbalanced minds often
brood day by day over some newspa-
per scandal until they are almost ir-
resistibly impelled to reproduce it in
their own lives. This is only natural
as il is "A psychological law that the
more any idea is dwelt upon the more
ii tends TO express itself in appropri-
ate actions. The fixing of the image
OF any deed in ones mind and the re-
iterated thoughts: 81 could do that if
! wanted to-" is almost certain TO ere
ate az impulse to perform such deed,
and the more absurd and destructive
this is the stronger the impulse will be.
Many persons otherwise sane have
committed even motiveless crimes as
result of just this process; and many
others have escaped such fatality
only by throwing off the obsessing
imagination or thought with vigor-
Gus and almost superhuman effort of
the will.

A few nights ago an employe of a
paper company in Bellows Falls, VT,
demonstrated unusual eccentricities
as a somnambulist. He got up at
two o'clock in the morning. harnessed
his team, put load of pulp wood
into his wagon and drove down TO the
mill, entirely unconscious of what he
was doing. Perhaps somnambulism
would have good effect on some of
our acquaintance who are ayerse to
good hard work.

The Christmas Dinner

In spite OF the tact that the word dys-
pf6Ssa means literally rad cook, it will
not be fair tor many to lay the blame on
the cook if they begin the Christmas
Dinner with little appetite and end it
with distress OF nausea. 1t may not be
fair Tor any TO do that---let US hope so for
the sake OF the cook The disease dys-
pepsia indicates bad stomach. that is a
weak stomach. rather than a bad cook,
and for weak stomach there is nothing
else equal to Hoods Sarsapsrilla. It
gives the stomach vigor and tone. cures
dyspepsia, creates appetite and makes
eating the pleasure il should be. I

Brussels ball on the eve Of The battle
of Waterloo has just died. That ball
must have been the biggest thing of
its kind in history, judging from the
number of people who have died dis
tinguished chiefly by being present al
tina memorable occasion. Probably il
was held out in ten-acre lot. and if
each lady had a partner to herself the
entire British army must have been
present. The Waterloo ball survivor
