Origin of Women.

In oriental countries women are
generally regarded as the interiors
Of men, yet according to Hindoo
legend, this is the proper origin of
the sex: Twashtri, the god of Vul
can of the Hindo mythology, cre-
ated the world but on his com.
mencing to create woman he dis
covered with man he had exhaust
ed all his creative materials, and
that not one solid element had been
left. This, of course, greatly per-
picked Twashtri, and caused him
to fall in profound meditation.
When he arose from it he proceed
ed as follows: He took the round
ness of the moon, the undulating
curves of the serpent. the graceful
twist of of the creeping plant, the
shivering of the grass blade and
the slenderness of the willow, the
velyety softness of the flowers, the
lightness of the feather, the gentle
gaze of the doe, the frolicsomeness
of the dancing sunbeam, the tears
of the cloud, the Inconsistency of tie
wind, the timidness of the hare
and the vanity of the peacock, tho
hardness of the diamond, the sweet
ness of honey, the cruelty of the
tiger, the heat of the fire and the
chill of the snow. the oackling of
the parrot and the cooling of the
turtle-dove. ALI these he mixed
together and formed woman. Then
he presented her to man"

Wealth Without Brains a Curse.
Wnen you are yearning for wealth
did you ever stop TO wonder if you
could stand it?
Poverty has wrecked the minds
of many. Sudden sffiuence has
had the same result.
1t takes level head to Withstand
the shock of sudden prosperity.
Wallace Coy. of Oshkosh, Wis,
always wanted money. He tried a
lot of ventures that didn't pay, and
finally went into land speculation.
He took in $1,000 in three weeks
and went stark, gibbering crazy.
Three thousand dollars isn't much.
Mr.. Morgan could put twice that
amount in his inside pocket and
forget it.
But riches are comparative. A
dollar is fortune to beggar and
20 cents looks like great wealth to
the average boy.
Wallace Coy's money seemed
like unlimited wealth. He gave
diamond rings and music boxes to
his friends. presented gold watch
to hack driver.
Then he was sent to an insane
asylum.
The possession of money is good
and an ambition to honestly gain
possession of wealth is laudable.
The Coy case simply shows that
money without brains to care for
it. without mental balance to make
good use of it. is calamity instead
of an advantage.
When you demand from Destiny
great wealth, ask for wisdom with
it Post.

quietly passed away in Mercy Hos

Overlooking the waters of the

old river road above that city stands
the majestic granite mausoleum
that will receive the remains Of
Senator Camden when his long

Married by signs.

A very equiet" wedding took
place at Wellston. Ohio. Saturday.
A romance lies IN the story of both
bride and groom: in brief is ss fol-
lows:
Both are mute. Both attended
the state institution at Columbus.
both are graduates of the same, the
bride entering in 1882 and the
groom one year later; both gradu-
ated in 1892. and while there an
attachment sprang up which ripen-
ed in close friendship. and this
into marriage. The principals were
Albert w. Ohlemacher, SON of Mrs.
E. ID. Ohlemacher. of Norwalk, o.,
and at present physical director of
in the State institution at Colum-
bus. and Miss Eva Mutt, daughter
of Mrs. Maria Mutt, of Hamden
Furnace, ..
Some years since. while pastor
OF McArthur M. E. Church, Rev.
Joseph CLARK now general secretary
of the Ohio Sunday School Associ-
alton, became acquainted with the
family of the bride. and he is.an
expert in the sign language, he was
chosen to perform the ceremony.
The ceremony was an interest
ing and impressive one to those in
attendance as we'll as the principals.
The first part of the ceremony was
spoken without the use of the sign
language. When the minister came
to the questions he spoke to the
contracting parties in. the sign Ian
guage and repeated it audibly at
the same time. The gentleman and
both made their responses in the
sign language. Both are bright,
well educated and highly cultured.

Pittsburg Letter.
May 16, 1902

may 1Oi tVON
Ga Monday evening last this
city was startled at the news of
terrible explosion at Sheradan, a
few miles down the Ohio river.
About 6 o'clock the injured began
to arrive in this city, and an i'm
mense mob formed to see the poor.
charred unfortunates The women
were worse than the men. They
would run after a car two or three
blocks to get glimpse of suffering
humanity. The sight was heart
rending. Some of the victims
begged to be killed and put out of
their misery.
The explosion was caused by an
oil tank springing leak and be-
coming ignited by switch lamp.
The fire drew an immense crowd.
In the yard were two tanks of nap
tina, which exploded and filled the
whole valley with a sheet of flame.
1t moved people down like grass.
The angel IT death rode on the
flame and when it ceased there
were several forms there still in
death, that moment before were
full of life. Words fail to tell of
the awful snfferings in the first
moments of the terrible explosion
Men, women and children, with
clothing on fire, or all OF it burned
off, ran screaming hither and thith-
er, wild with their sufferings. More
than 300 people were scorched by
the mighty flame. The writer Wis.,
tied the scene early Tuesday morn
ing. There was nothing left green
on either hillside for distance of
200 yards. An eye witness told us
he had his hair scorched and an
ear burnt at a distance of 400
yards. We saw a relic hunter pick
up a human finger and stowe il
away in his pocket. 1t made one
heart sick to see pieces of charred
and burned human flesh lying scat
tered on the ground; yet even this
was eagerly sought after by relic
hunters. 1t was terrible to see
how little sympathy they felt for
humanity. There were piles of
clothing still burning; here and
there was a hat OF shoe that had
been worn by poor victim.
But then one does not like to
read of such things much less be
an eye witness. Nineteen of the.
Injured have died and others are
not expected to live. All this week
the littlo village has been in mourn
ing. Every day some loved ones
have been laid in the tomb on ac-
count of the awful disaster, and it
will be many days before the vii
lrge of Sheradan forgets the 18th
May, 1902. Fathers and mothers
mourn for their children and re-
fuse to be comforted because they
are not" In many a home it was
the father that was taken, and wild
ows and orphans are disconsolate.

Rule ON Postal Cards.

Government postal cards which
are enamelsd, bronzed or in any
defaced lose their character as pos
tai cards hereafter and become sub
ject to ordinary letter postage when
they bear written message, or to
third-class postage when they are
all in print. This rule is contain
ed in the latest edition of the post
al regulations. The ruling is
thought to be a result of the re-
cent disclosures regarding the case
with which such cards are counter
feited. Though the department
had not discovered the maker of
these bogus cards when this order
was drawn it has been known for a
long time that such work was made
possible because persons were per-
mitted to enamel uncanceled cards
and thus use them, though they
had been printed before. Post
masters have been instructed to
enforce this rule strictly.

there has been an increase of over

this may in n.Ipart justify the ad-
