For a town of the size and pro-
gressiveness of ours the side
walks are the poorest we have
ever seen. The walks on Main
street are full of holes, and loose
boards and some of the other
walks are so delapitated that
they are utterly unsafe to travel
over after dark. The walk south
from Haz!ett's corner has holes
ten inches in width and has
several different levels. In sew.
eral places the planks are loose
and if stepped on outside of the
stringers will fly up and trip the
unwary pedestrian. These con'
ditions will probably continue to
exist until the town has a damage
suit to settle and then those in
authority may awaken to a pro-
per realization of their duties and
do something to remedy the
J evil.

For many years the medical men Of
Paris violently opposed the granting
of licenses to practice to women. They
held that the profession of medicine
was not suited to women and that wom-
en- were not suited for the profession.
But after long and determined strug-
gle the women won the day. While
twenty years ago only seven women
had taken their medical degree, the
5000 physicians now established in
Paris include fifty seven women.
Every year the faculties Of medi-
cine OF Paris and Montpelier grant de-
grees to many feminine candidates,
but French women are In the minor
ity, most of the doctresses who pass
in that country being Russians and
Roumanians. No woman physician
has yet been rewarded with the cross
of the Legion Of Honor, but one mid
wife, Nine. Gross, holds this high am,
coveted order, which has been con-
ferred upon her for gallant conduct
in the Franco-Prussian war.

as to anybody else, for she never
dreamed there was anything remark
able about her way Of operating a
typewriter. She does not claim to use
any special system unless it be one
Of her own, which she would not know
how to teach to any one else. Before
going to Washington she worked for

now paid on a basis Of $72O year,
but has every reason to expect rapid
promotions until she reaches $1,4CO, the

Those who have watched her work
say that the secret Of her success Is

tration, which is better than any sys-

Women and Great Wealth.


In the light Of certain recent matri-
monial experiences of an international
character it is pertinent to ask what
NAV seem at first blush to be an i'm
pertinent question, namely, Should
women have money? Is it well to en-
barrass one Of the sex with a great
fortune like that, for instance, pos
sessed by Miss Alice Thaw, of Pitts
burg, now basking in the reflected
glory Of an English or Irish title?
We are accustomed to frown upon
things English, and one of those which
we find it easy to contemn is the law
Of primogeniture-that harsh law
which gives the bulk Of the estate to
the eldest son and permits the others
to hustle for living. But is there not,
after all, a lot Of common sense anu
business shrewdness behind the law?
Your Englishman is not a sentimental
creature, but when it comes to hard,
rock-ribbed common sense 1t liz ditt1-
cult to find his superior.
The Englishman has found by long
experience that the way to keep for
tune in the family is to fasten it down
and hedge it in where fortune hunt
ers, titled or otherwise, may not lay
hand upon it by prevailing upon
weak woman that he Is worth the buy
ing. And, alas! experience has shown
that some women are weak where
crest or a family tree or a chance to
be dubbed ''My Lady," "Your High
ness" or some Of the other titles which
are so much thought of across the
water, and by the few on this side
also, Is offered.
There Is another kind Of woman to
whom it seems wrong to intrust vast
fortune. We mean the stingy kind, Of
whom there are, unhappily, many. For
such a woman can out-Herod HerOd,
CT out-Shylock Shylock, when 1t comes
to a greedy grasp upon the dross that
we call riches. Her safe deposit vaults
are seldom opened, and then only to
put money and securities in, not to
take them out. From a stingy woman
we would beg ten thousand times for
Succor.
Should women have money? They
are coed stewards to certain degree.
But for their own sake, and for that
Of the public whom they affect, we
think the question is one to be serious

In northern India ii is still considered
not genteel for a woman, even when
yelled from head to foot, to walk on
a railway platform to get in to the
cars. She has to be carried in a closed
palanquin right up to the window of
her compartment.

Some time ago the Russian govern

Italian justice disregards sex, it

copper and silver objects, ETC., and the
governor of Alaska has another 4ne
collection, including some magnificent
furs, which he has consented to lend.

USES OF FRUITS.
Often More Useful Than Prescriptions
of Physicianes

of Physicianes
Many Of our common fruits are just
as useful and much nicer than doctors
prescriptions. The apple, for instance.
Not only is the apple an excellent puri-
fer Of the blood, but it is a cure for
dysentery, and has also the peculiar
effect Of restoring an intoxicated per-
son to sobriety. A diet Of stewed ap-
pies. eaten three times a day, has
drunkenness, giving the patient an alb
solute distaste for alcohol in any form.
The pineapple Is another fruit most
valuable in throat affections. Indeed,
it has saved many life Of a diph.
thereto patient The juice squeezed
from a ripe pine is the finest thing
In the world for cutting the fungus
like membrane which coats the throat
In diphtheria, and is used in time never
fails to cure.
After severe attack Of influenza the
throat is often relaxed and the tonsils
painful. An old-fashioned remedy still
in use In many parts Of the west of
England is a conserve OF roses. This
is a sort of jam made from the hips
Of the common wild rose. 1t is not I'M
pleasant in taste and certainly pos
sesses strongly astringent properties.
TO eat grape a minute for an hour
at time, and to repeat this perform
ance three or four times a day, eating
very little else meantime but dry
bread, may seem monotonous way of
spending the time. This treatment
works wonders for thin, nervous, an
emic people whose digestions have got
out Of order from worry or overwork.
It is no mere quack prescription, but a
form Of cure recognized and advised
by many well-known physicians.
Grapes are, perhaps, the most digest.
ible Of any fruit in existence.
A cordial made from the blackberries
Is greatly recommended by the Devon
shire country folk as a cure for collie
and many farmers wife makes black
berry cordial as regularly as elderberry
wine. The latter, heated and mixed
with little cinnamon, Is one Of the
best preventives known against chill
The flowers, too, of the elder come In
useful. An ointment made by layering
them in mutton suet and olive oil Is
soothing in case Of boils. Nowadays
doctors forbid equity patients to eat
any kind Of sweet foods, but recon-
mend them to eat at least dozen wal
nuts a day. There is no doubt that
walnuts are most useful to equity sub
jects, or in cases Of chronic rheuma
tism. Swelling goes down and pain
decreases.-London Answers.

There is nothing to prevent children
from taking up music as naturally as
reading and writing. The notes and
the alphabet should be learned at the
same time as, am glad to say, they
have been for several years in some
of our public schools. At 5 and 6
most children learn to sing easily and
little songs and exercises should be
mingled with the lessons of the pri-
mary reading and spelling book. Some
knowledge of music should form a
part of every chid's education. At the
same time, it is very evident that it is
useless to compel children to take a
long course of musical study when
they have no special aptitude for it.
have had girls confide to me that
they dreaded the coming of the music
teacher and would never do any prac,
ticing on the piano unless compelled
to, and yet the mothers Of these girls
persisted in wasting money and, what
is still more precious, time in abso,
lutely forcing their daughters to con.
tinue the study.
Such unwilling scholars can never
become musicians in the mildest sense
Of the word and they should be let,
after learning the general principles
of music, to give it up.-Exchange.

One Of the most curious bridges ever
built, perhaps unique in the history of

considerable width and depth. A tim

WARDS OFF THE LIGHTNING.
Clothing Warranted to Protect Wearer
from Electric Strokes.

from E1eCCr1C CCTOkcSs
Thanks to the researches Of a Rus
sian savant, man may now, like Jove,
defy the lightning's stroke. He has In
vented garment that is said to be a
certain protection against a stroke of
the electric fluid. 1t is light and flex-
ible and does not in the least interfere
with the movements Of the wearer.
The garment is made Of fine gauze, Of
brass threads, and consists Of a shirt
and trousers that reach below the feet.
The sleeves end in gloves that are pro-
yided with buttons for fastening. A
hood covers the head, buttOning on the
body part Of the safety garment.
When the wearer Of this garment ap-
proaches too near the current Of an
electric machine, intead Of harming
him. the current is conducted to the
ground by the suit Of gauze and the
person inside experiences no inconven-
fence. The wearer of this suit can
stand between the two poles Of high
tension current of electricity and the
sparks will pass from one to the other
across his intervening body without
shocking him, the discharge going
through the metallic covering.
The inventor of the lightning pro-
tector donned his gauze garment and
placed himself under a conductor that
had a tension of $4,000 volts, With his
hands. his elbows, his arms and his
head he attracted brilliant sparks, but
was not the least Inconvenience. He
grasped with his hands two electrodes
of LOCO volts pressure and caused
to pass through the protecting garment
electricity amounting to 100 amperes,
current so strong that when he with
drew his hands an electric spark two
feet long shot out from the machine.
At the termination Of the experiments
it was found that the gauze garment
had not been damaged by the sparks,
with the exception Of small holes at
the points of contact that did not i'm
pair the protecting action of the inven-
ton,
