Why Women Worry.
From the Boston Republic.

tne BOSTON hepuDllC
If a woman is to protect herself from
the ravages Of worry and to retain her
youth for longer period she must come
into more frequent contact with other peo-
pie, as her husband does, and read good
books: she must relieve the monotony of
her duties and the limiting influence Of
confinement within four walls by taking
outdoor exercise-a walk every day or
spin on bicycle; in short. she must ex-
ercise the body and mind in healthful
manner. and she will find the bloom of
youth and health remain with her for years
after it has faded In other women Of the
same age.
1.-The ordinary woman. says a celebrated
physician, "leads such a monotonous ex-
istence that her mind has no occupation but
worry. What she needs is to come out of
herself much more than she does. She
must have intercourse with moro people
and take more exercise. This can be done
without neglecting the home, and every
right-minded man will do his best to secure
for his mother or sister or his wife these
aids to the retention of youthfulness Of
body and mind"

Humorous Inconvenience of Being Too

Or. Simouton is very keen on advancing

more jealous devotee. Alas for HIS ambi-
ton. he quite neglected the regimen of the
late Mr.. Banting, SO that when he applied
for the post of assistant surgeon on board
one of the ships of the United States navy
the committee Of selection politely reject
ed him on the ground that he was too stout
to get through the hatchways.
Two years since the guardians of Pet
worth. near Ashford, We're obliged to re-
fuse admittance to a female pauper in con-
sequence of her excessive corpulence.
Firstly. because they had no clothes large
enough to tit her massive person; secondly,
because she could not walk upstairs, and
by reason of her abnormal avoirdupois the
workhouse officials We're unable to lift her
from the ground.
At the time when an Ohio damsel be-
came engaged to the man of her choice she
weighed but 10 Stone-a moderate weight
that reached the alarming figure of %
stone. This was too much for her fiance
who promptly cried off. only to find himself
sued for breach OF promise. the deserted

While srrolling through a French fair

necessary, but as he rose to do so the floor

onlookers and the objurgattons of cabby

The Degenerate Lady" Novelist.

Alfred Ipson in the Athenaeum.
1t is to be regretted that great number
of these writing ladies affect a rather vul-
gar taste and luXuriate in pictures of IN
delicate and ambiguous love affairs. with
details calculated to arouse senSa ton ra tn
than satisfy the demands of the psychol-
ogist and the poet. Some of them indeed
very bright and clever, but others seem
to consist of mere nerves" and senses"
The question principally is one of culture,
or rather want of culture. These ladies
lack moral and, in certain sense. intel
lectual culture too. Strong protests have
been made by their own sex against the
deterioration of womanhood involved In
their expatiations on dubious female char
acters. Talent varies. and it happens that
small offenders are hanged where great
ones are let off. but the fact is one OF many
proofs how bad an educator naturalsm has
been.

Of the food tests that were conducted under

made yesterday at St. Paul. Mimi. by
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley chief Of the division
of chemistry during a meeting of the Ma

haustive statement of the manner in which
the tests were conducted and just what it
is expected they will show. This Is the

regarding the food tests has been made.

Analysis Not Yet Completed.
'It Is not possible at this time to give
conclusions relating to the experimental
work. because the analytical data, i'm
mense in quantity. have not yet been tab
ulated. averaged. and digested. 1t would
be unwise to put forth any preliminary con-
clusions until all the data referred to are
in shape for a careful study and compare
son. The primary object kept in view in
the experiments which are conducting
Is to determine by strictly scientific means
the effect Of preservatives. coloring matters
and other substances added to foods, upon
the health of the consumer and upon d1-
gestion. We find in literature the most
varied opinions Of experts. so-called, con-
cerning these matters. Practically every
,hcfov xx,h{ {ch has n
any purpose. aside from the foods them
selves, has been the object of condemna-
ton on the one hand and Of praise on the
other. SalcyIic acid, formaldehyde, borax.
sulphurous acid and benzoic acid. all have
their apostles who declare their use In
preservative quantities not only harmless.
but positively beneficial. On the other
hand. we find another set of experts which
indiscriminately condemns the use of any
preservative or coloring matter whatever.
We must be allowed to say that the burden
of proof should fall upon the advocates
Of preservatives and coloring matters. 1t
Is not claimed that these are substances
natural to food and their addition must
therefore be positively justified. Negative
results are condemnatory. If these bodies
do no good they have no reason Of exis
tence; If they are injurious they should
surely be prohibited; If they are beneficial
under certain conditions. those conditions
should be ascertained and definitely fixed.

To Ascertain Facts.

"In arranging for the experiments. in
carrying them out, and in discussing the
data an earnest effort has been made to put
aside every theory or personal impression
or prejudice connected with the subject
How many times have 1 been asked: Are
the experiments proving what you expected
them to-? / can always answer this Ques-
ton afflrmatively because / had put aside,
before beginning the experiments all ex-
pectations. Our object has solely been to
ascertain the facts. to establish them II
possible beyond caeil. to collate them in
what seems a scientific and reasonable man
ner and at the end to draw such conclu-
sions as judgment. uninfluenced by preju-
dice would approve. Some Of the above
purposes, 1t is hoped, will be fully accom-
plished, because we propose to set forth In
detail the manner in which the experiments
were conducted. to record all the facts OBJ
, served Just as they occurred. to tabulate
the work in the most scientific manner pos
sible, and thus present to competent experts
a basis for conclusions. When all this is
done 1t is evident that different conclusions
may be derived from the premises by differ
ent persons. Whatever our conclusions may
be- therefore, we do not claim for them any
special virtue, but we do hope to estab-
llsh the facts on which they are based that
the necessity for repetition of the work
may be rclegated to the remote future.
The enormous amount of work connected
with such experiments and the great ex-
pense which necessarily attends them rem
der it extremely advisable that the work
should be thoroughly done, with every pos
sible regard for accuracy, with elimination
as far as possible of all sources of disturb
ance and error and with the establis hment
on as firm a basis possible of the re-
corded observations.
