Woman: Strength of Character Vital
ReUuisite.

The editor of the Boston Journal some
davs since devoted near q whole column
to rebuke given the young men of that
city, for carrying girls at a late hour from
the ball room to street car and leaving
them to get home the best way they could.
He asks: "Who are these unspeakable
cads who pass for gentlemen?" finishing
the rebuke in whitening denunciations.
So far so good, but his honor stopped
too soon. The opportunity to rebuke the
girls, who suffered themselves, time and
again, so grossly sighted by their escorts
was equally as golden, as was that to the
men. Any woman who will be passive
in mans power; who will accept any
treatment he sees fit to deal out to her, de-
serves Sights. Man is keen reader of
woman kind, he sizes her up in short
time and treats her as she requires him
to. am amazed at the credulity of some
of my sex, they seem utterly blind and
deaf to the cunning devices Of so-called
lovers and compromise womanly dignity
-womanly virtue-because "Mr. Smith
SAYS nothing but kiss will establish his
confidence in me"-bah: That story
must have been invented when old Adam
courted fair Eve in the garden of paradise,
for every man, old, young, little and big
tells it to his MARY" hoping thereby to
reach the lips he knows he has no right
to touch; encircle form his arms ncces-
sarily will pollute.
Love is god-given blessing to man and
woman, it softens, enhances, awakens
the best impulses in our natures, and
should, under propitious circumstances
and when two souls are congenial, cul-
inmate in marriage. But, because q wo-
man pledges herself, at some future day,
to become wife, should she yield to her
lover privileges that compromise her?
may be fanatic on the subject, but hold
my views, as q privilege granted every
free born American citizen. It's natural
for the sexes to desire each others society,
true gentleman appreciates the COM
panionship of a noble woman and vice
versa, but are there not limits beyond
which he should dare not so? Mothers
have grave responsibility, they neglect
too often to prescribe a given hour for
their daughters to retire; they fail too
often to know who the gentleman is that
visits their home and what his intention
is, in frequenting said homes. The moth
er should be the guide to pilot her daugh-
ter over the volcanic ground, to show and
warn her against dangers that youthful
eyes fail to discover.
Lastly: Girls, grade yourselves high,
maintain the self-estimate by a dignity
and courteous respect shown gentlemen,
that they dare not underratc. If one in
fringes on your rights spurn him as you
would serpent, and you will never be
put on street cars at midnight unprotect-
ed, neither will you lack for admirers or
a-husband! NJ. D. LANIER.

FORCING A FASHION.


How Hats Were introduced to thu
South African Savages.
Andres De Villiers. a Boer, was the
person who first introduced hats among
the South African natives. says the
Hatters' Gazette, and profit, not phi
lanthrOpy, was his motive. One morn
ing many years ago he CHANGED in Port
Elizabeth 20 come across cOnsgn-
ment of damaged hats offered for a
mere song. He bought the whole lot,
packed them away in his wagon and
started or Kaffirland.
When he reached Tembuland, he un-
loaded his stock, opened his kegs of liq-
uor, without which no trade was made
In those days, and began business. But
he found his venture likely to prove an
Improbable one. The natives did not
want hats. They wanted blankets and
beads and looking glasses and above
all liquor, but they looked askance at
hats Then bright idea came to An.
dries. He wanted to Introduce those
hats. He did introduce them. His sim
pie eNpedient was to refuse to sell any,
thing to katfir unless he bought a
hat too. The Katfirs wanted his goods,
SO they bought the hats.
When Il KS..ir buys anything. he
feels bound to make use of it, The vi
tives therefore dolincd III ir head gear
and returned to their kracs. Now ap-
peared the brilliancy of the traders
idea. Fashion rules the world. 1t is as
strong in Africa as in America, and
when those who had stayed at home
saw the travellers return in all the glo-
ry of this strange covering they felt
behindhand and old fashioned. Their
desire to possess the latest thing in
hats became intense. They paid An
dries visit, and his stock no longer
hung heavy upon his hands. The hats
were soon sold.
This happened some time ago, and
now every trading store keeps supply
of hats constantly on hand. They are
said to be manufactured expressly for
the natives, and no one who glances at
the show will doubt It.

A JUGGLER's TRICK.
Clever Feat of Illusion Performed by
an East Indian.

an East Indian.
The wonderful feats of East Indian
jugglers have formed the theme If
many letter from travellers in the
orient, but none is more surprising than
that for which an old seadog vouches.
While he was an officer on board 4
r. and O. steamship two natives came
aboard at Madras, he says. They were
juggler and his assistant. After they
had performed number of minor
feats and gathered quite crowd
around them they called for sack
and piece of sailclOth.
These having been provided, the
chief juggler made small tentlike
structure with the canvas and some
stools. He then placed his assistant
in the sack and allowed sailor to tie
the knot which bound him fast pris-
0ner. This done, the chief carried the
sack into an open space, warning the
people to stand back some distance,
and then carried on an animated con-
versation with his assistant, whose re-
plies could be distinctly heard coming
from the sack. Suddenly the chief
rushed forward, picked up the sack
and dumped it overheard, where, to
the horror of the passengers and crew,
it sank out of sight.
Immediately the captain rushed for
ward and seized the man. under the
full belief that he had murdered his
companion, but the juggler only
smiled and, pointing to the canvas
asked that it be raised. This was
done, and the supposed drowned man
was discovered squatting on the deck
So realistic had been the throwing
overheard, however, that it was some
time before the surprised passengers
could realize murder had not been
committed.
