WAY WOMEN WORRY MOST.
Have Mor- Leisurs Time Than Men ans
 Materially Think Over Things.

Have Morr Leisuro Time Than Men arss
 Naturally Think Over Things.
 From time immemorial women kaye beer told-by women, as well as men, though naturally more often by the latter-that worry digs wrinkles in their faces and sprinkles gray among their tresses. These warnings do lit- tie good. The fair creatures go on worrying and will probably continue to do so until the millennium comes. Why this is so is answered in this way, The question of worry with women seems to be simply this: Wom- en are so hedged about by the little- ness of their protected lives-for it is the protected woman who does the most worrying-that 1t is hard to sec beyond and above sometimes, and mat ters in this way get wholly out of fo- GUS. If women had the capacity with men o2 getting up ana doing battle with things, worry would slip off their shoulders as easily as from off those of the average masculine. Man doesn't worry about debt, because he feels tha, he has it within him (since money making is his business) to make sufi. cient money to pay his debts-some time. Women look at It more prac- tically, and consider the now. Man doesn't generally worry about his health, because he really has not the cime. Let him become i'll, though, and have to stop his work, and how is it with him? Man doesn't worry about the future--he is so madly interested h the present; nor about hi. clothes, for the tailor stands between him and that; nor about home matters-they from his point of view, are too trivia until he comes home to badly cook i ed dinner, and then in his broad out look there is no excuse for this state of things, for In business, if an em- ploye does not do his work properly, his employer gets some one who can. method that will yet come to be a powerful lever in the leveling of wom~ sn's worries.

 The haunts of the beggars Of Naples are also usually the baunts of thieves kept by some woman, who trades Oh Ehe vice and misery of her fellow-creS- lures says the Gentleman's Magazine. There the miserable wretehes slee= by night and assemble by day. teaching children to pick pockets and beg. Thence every morning the blind, the lame and the aged set forth on their rounds in the city. A false monk sets out to visit certain families and shops 6n certain days, giving numbers fo. the lottery and receiving aims. Au Sid woman departs with her pocket fall of sweetmeats, with which she decoys little children into some deserted cor- per and robs them of earrings or arti. cies of clothing.

Difference in Oranges,

To great many people an orange is an orange, but there are oranges and oranges, and several grades are gath cred from the same orchard not only but from the same tree. An orange plucked from the sunny side of tree does not look like a nearer relation to m orange plucked from less favored side of the same tree at the samJ time than third cousin. Hence there is a wide range in the quotation on oranges of the same stock from the same local hy.-~National Fruit Grower.

 Foote, Burke and Sheridan.
 Raphael, with genius at his pack, did not come to maturity so quickly, nor did Rubens, triumphant at Antwerp, hold popular applause so long; for Lawrence kept his admiring public to khe last, and was something of won der both as man and boy, says the Century His whole career was bril- aiant, yet not through intrinsic force; his art was successful without being great; he was honored and praised down to his grave. and yet he possessed not genius. There are men who achieve popular success without genius, Lawrence was one of them. The father was man of some birth and educa- tion. but what is called "the poetic temperament, and never got on very well in the world. He was at different dimes barrister without a brief. an actor without part. a keeper of the White Lion inn lt Devices without guests enough to nuke it pay. When young Lawrence was 5 years old his father made a change of base and moved into the Black Bear inn. It was here that the boy was placed uroD table to reeite Shakespeare for the guests. Here, also. he developed wonderful gift Of making portraits in pastel of the passing public. A guest fouid have q portrait painted while he waited, and the speed of the artist was not less wonderful than his age. Tho duchess of Devonshire and Lord and Lady Kenyon were among his early sitters and the record Is preserved that Lady Kenyon's likeness was drawn in profile, because, as the child artist de- clared, "her face was not straight" Tn short time he had attracted the attention of Garrick.

Death of Willis BeSSey.

The friends of Mr.. III. w. Bessey, on
Indian river, will learn with deep regret
OF the death of his brother, Willis, who
died at Asheville, n. c., last week. In
response to telegram Mr.. Bessey went
on to Ashevllle Saturday, returning to
Stuart Monday with the body for inter
ment, accompanied by the widow, who
married the deceased the past summer.
The bereaved brother and widow have
the deep sympathy of their many friends
in this hour of trial. Willis was a per-
son whom but to know was to find a
true friend first, last and all the time.
He was known to us personally for many
years, and such a character of modesty,
uprightness and true fidelity to his
friends is rarely met with in these days.
'Tis a great pity he was no! permitted
