If a thoughtful woman were asked, ''What is the greatest curse of your sex?" she might well answer, I'm pulse It is responsible for almost all the mistakes made by the good hearted among us. May it not safely be said that few minutes thought before speech or action would pre- vent most fatal blunders? Many of Us are in positive bondage-quick- ness to feel, to show our feelings. to retort or to respond. If we are hurt we must immediately "give our selves away as the phrase runs, if not by bitter speech, at least by look and manner, yet reflection frequent ly brings the keenest regret for lost dignity, the betrayed secret or other il results.-Home Magazine.

JOSS AND SAINT IN NEW YORK
Comparison of Christian nn nd Budd- hist 0bseryances in the East
 ern Metropolis.

Long-aeo missionaries, whose chro- | nologic notions were little bit con, fused. declared that Buddhism was palpabIe imitation of, if not a deliber- ate steal from. Christianity. Besides the similarities in tenet were those in ritual and ceremony. This likeness may be seen by any New Yorker for himself. says the Post ef that city The heavy immigration of Neapolitans and Sicilians has produced several lit tie Italys in New York. which celebrate the festas of home with more enthu- siasm even than k observed in the fla therland. A feature of these celebra- tions is the presentation Of votive candles to patron saints and to the Virgin.
 On the other hand. in Chinatown nearly every grocery store carries stock. of oriental yotive candles, which are presented to Buddha; he Goddess of Mercy. Qwang Yin: the God of War, Qwang ri; and the God of Literature. Man-Mo-Mew These candles are made to suit all tastes. as we'll as all conditions of the pocketbook They range from poor cheap, little red af- fairs like the Chris tmas-tree candles. np to stately creations. four. five and six feet in length. The Italians use both red and white while the Chinese contine themselves almost exclusively to red. They use white and yellow upon special occasions, white candle being symbolic of death and a yellow of haaIan he aF who is the emperor of the celestial kingdom
 Formerly both the Chinese and Ita1- ians depended for their candles upon importing merchants. In the last few months the manufacture has sprung up in this city, and now attains fair pro portions In many respects the New York candles are better bits of work manship than the imported ones. The latter are usually softer and greasier than the former and produce a smokier | light. The homemade are manufae- tured from stearin. paraffin, or wax, al though the last-named substance is | growing into disuse. The finest qual- l ity imported from China are made | from insect wax specially perfumed, while one variety of the Italian import ed is made from clarified wax of fine quality. perfumed with the mild scent of blossoms.
 Both Italian and Chinese employ a candle which is really a shell within which the candle itself is placed and held in position by means of heleal spring at the bottom of the shell. These shells are often profusely deco rated and are strikingly handsome. The Italians prefer as ornamentation leaf-work and geometrical patterns. while the Chinese like minute bas-re- liefs of men, gods, dragons, mountains. and landscapes. A handsome shell with candle within ranges from one dollar up to fifty, according to size and workmanship. It is durable and is used as an ornament in church or a joss-house for many years.

END OF A STAGE CAREER.
How One Man's Admiration for the Stage Was inc Cause of His
 Roman Nose.

"My wife tells me that our 15-year- old boy is stage-struck, said man, smoking his after dinner cigar over on another mans piazza. according to the Detroit Free Press. she is worried about it, but I tell her to take it easy-it will all come right. was stage-struck once myself, and that's how l came to have this hand some Roman nose, and to be re- speeted and prosperous lawyer"
 "Roman nose" repeated the other man, ''I can't see the connection be tween a Roman nose and your being stage-struck."
 Well, the connection is there, all right" continued the other man. fondly earessing the little arch in the middle of his large ornamental nose. At r was badly stage-strufk; and of course, my parents bitterly op- posed all such notions on my part The fever continued to increase, how ever. and with two other young men of the same age, l secretly organized an amateur comic troupe to go on tine road when the time was ripe. As a starter we decided to try our great entertainment on country town not many miles away. We eleped with our outfit, guitars and gaudy ward robes one day. and had no trouble in getting together a pretty fair au- dienee that night, at ten cents each. The songs, dances and dialogues went off all right. They were really fun ny, l believe, even now; but at the close of the entertainment 1 met with bad luck.
 Tn going out to announce another appearance the next week I clumsily caught my foot in the folds of our impromptu drop-curtain, and pulled the heavy curtain pole or roller down on my straight Grecian nose--the pride of my mothers family, and mine by inheritance.
 T was assisted to my fathers roof the next day, with fractured nose and two very black eyes. By the time I was well again my ardor for the stage had abated; and l believe my son will get over the mania, too. My wife. however. has not heard the story of the Roman nose. and she rather admires it."

WHO ARE FIT FOR MARRIAGE
This Is Puxziing Enigma Which Each Man Must Solve for
 Himself.

Enigmas are plentiful in this world, but none more puzzling than the query: When should a man marry" The clerk or mechanic earning any where from $7 to S15 per week has the same desire to make a homo for him self, with a presiding angel. of course, as do those more lucky young men with fortunes of their own. If the $f0 clerk, let Us say, is really in love, he hugs to his heart not only the object of his adora ton, but the delusion that the old adage is true. that What is enough for one is enough for two" " But frequently the maiden fair who is to do the presiding angel act does not agree with him on this point. She may have visions of seal skin coats, or even automobiles. and other "neeessaries" of modern life. But it seems that the German kaiser has issued an ediet, in view of the perpieXed condition of the public mina which settles the ques- tion in his country, at least, SO far as army officers are concerned. The em- peror has promulgated an order to the effect that no officer may marry unless he receives a salary of SLIPS a year and has also an income of $375 more. That is to say, if he and his fu- ture wife between them can muster $l, l,500. the wedding bells may ring. The hopes of the $l5 young man are dashed. for officers who get no more than S750 year are forbidden to even consider matrimony.
 Neither are the sons of the rich Americans without their matrimonial troubles, continues a writer in the Detroit News-Tribune. Every one of them must own city residence and a country home or seaside "cottage. '' which interpreted often means pal ace by the sea" \ writer in Iarper's Weekly suggests that national legis- lation on this subject might be benefi- cial, the details being classified some thing as follows:
 Bachelors who think the income of one is enough for two. $20o00
 Bachelors who know the young women are in love with them, and who themselves are willing to go without clubs, cigars and valets, whatever they may happen to have.
 Bank cashiers whose fiancees have extravagant tastes $5OO0o year.
 Millionaires, $l0o,o00 year and un- limited credit.
 With the aid of some of these old world ideas propounded by Wilhelm H., salutary reforms may be ins tituted here in the taking of matrimonial obligations

SHOWING THE WAY.

Most of our readers know all about the aches and pains of a bad back; very few people are free from sick kidneys, as the kidneys areythe most overworked organs of the body and go wrong at times no matter how well the general health may be. The trouble is so few understand the indications of kidney trouble You are nervous, tired out and weary, have stitches. twinges and witches of back ache pains, but lay it to other causes; finally the annoyance and suffering att tendant with urinary disorders, reten- tion of the urine, too frequent urina- tion, makes you realize the serious ness of it. At any stage you should take a remedy that will not only re- lieve but cure you. Read the following and profit by the lesson it teaches:
 C. J. McMurray, a resident of Free port, H., address 1T Iroquois St., says: "I have greater faith in Doan's Kidney Pills to-day than I had in the fall of 1897 when first took that remedy and it cured me of an acute pain across the back and imperfect action of the kidneys. Since l made a public state- ment of these facts and recommended Doan's Kidney Pills to my friends and acquaintances. thoroughly believing as I did both from observation and eX- perienee that they would do just as they were represented to do. I am still pleased to reendorse my state- ment given to the public shortly after I first began to use the remedy"

STATUES HAVE SMALLPOX.
Epidemic of Disease Among Bronze Figures in Athens-How They
 Are Affected

4 most extraordinary disease, ex- tremelY infectious and resembling smallpox among human beings, has broken out among the statues in the Egyptian room of the National mu- scum here. says an Athens (Greeeel correspondent of the New York Times. A few days ago the distin- guished politician and archaeologIst, Mr. Stephanos Skouloudes, noticed some strange green marks on one of the bronze statues of the famous Egyptian collection presented to the museum in 1881 by Mir. Demetrios. of Alexandria. He at once communi- cated his discovery to the curator, who called in experts to examine the statue in question: They pronounced the marks to be due to an infectious complaint, to which bronze is liable. and which gradually spreads from the surface of the object affected to the inside. till the whole crumbles away into dust. The other bronze statues in the same room were then inspected, with the result that they were all found to be more or less tainted with the disease, while five of them had taken it in most az gravated form. These five are the statues of Anta, the goddess of war; of Maout, wife of Jupiter Ammon; of Isis, and two statues of Osiris. one of them of the greatest value. Worse that that, the infection has spread to the Mycenaean room, which con tains the results of the late Dr. Schliemann's excavations in 1876. There a dagger, which was found in the fourth and finest of the six tombs. has fallen victim to the mal- adv. Altogether about fifty statues are badly affected, and the loss will he enormous unless the plague can be stayed. A: leatling .Athenian chemist pronounces the cause of the malady to be the presence of salt in the bronze of which the statues are made. and his remedy is to extract it by means of baths, Mr Memphe- mates, the minister under whose de- partment the museum comes, is talk ing steps to save the bronzes.

 ''The publication was news to us said Mir. Berney.
 We know nothing of the proposed com bination. We have had no communica- tion with the promoters of the plan. It Is possible that they may secure control of the Fourth National Bank. This can be done by the purchase of $Sl.0o0 of,Ttne capital stock of the bank from the stock holders of the institution. They may contemplate such action but we have not heard of any negotiations between the officers of the American Trust Company and the stockholders of the bank
 The alliance between the bank and the proposed corporation would, l believe, be of benefit to the bank and would beyond doubt increase the business of the insti- tuition. The corporation would strengthen any institution with which it might be connected and the interests of the pat rons of the bank would in no way he harmed, but would, on the other hand, be safeguarded. Still, we know nothing of any effort being made to bring the Fourth National within the corporation"
