such an experience with British Off

The constant use of a perfume is said
to have a subtle effect upon the char

Heliotrope is generally liked by the
conservative and retiring nature.
Women of vivid imagination and ex-

The Sisters of Young Man win Him His
8rIdn

A dispatch to the New York World
from Toledo says: The Rev. Martin
Harris, a Baptist preacher in the Malta
mora District, has refused to let his
daughter, Minnie, marry Harvey Car
ter. The young man is the idol OF his
two elder sisters. Last evening the
girls intercepted Mr.. Harris just as he
was entering his own yard. He still
refused to give his consent to the match
and, drawing long mule whip from
beneath the folds of her dress, the eld-
est Carter girl brought it with terrific

Before he could recover his astOnish-
ment the other sister struck him about
the legs with another whip, and for a
moment the blows rained thick and
fast upon the dominic until he fairly
howled for mercy. The sisters renew
ed their request for consent to his
daughters marriage to their brother.
and he attempted to argue the ques-
ton. Swish went the whip in the
younger girls hands about the preach
er's thinly clad neither extremities.
Again and again she cut him with the
whip.
Finally he begged and pleaded SO
hard that they desisted the punishment,
but continued their demands until he
promised anything they asked. The
wedding is to take place in August.

We do not mean to say that be-

who has the pluck and energy to earn
her own living; but even one of the
feminine sex who does not work can
be called manly woman" You all

But the womanly man is worse.
