Australian Hardwoods.

To the fact that Australia pos sesses the finest hardwoods in the world is due the mammoth order which South Africa recently placed with a Sydney firm for the supply of 47O,OO0 railway sleepers. These were to be z feet long, 10 inches wide, and five inches deep, and to consist of black butt, box, and ma hogany. The first shipment, con sisting of 32,000 sleepers, repre- sented a superficial measurement of 1,0O0,000 feet, and a dead weight of 5000 tons. The second ship ment consisted of 70,000 sleepers, representing 6,000 tons.

THE MARRIAGEABLE AGE.
Girls Don't Become Old Maids in
 Their Twenties Nowadays.

Glancing down a carefully com piled list of fashionable weddings celebrated during the last IS months,it was found that the av- craze bridal age worked out at .trifie over 25, which is also said to be the age of OUT newest Anglo American duchess, says the Lon don Daily Mail.
 Ideas on the subject of the mar riageable age have changed with changing years, and no one will deny that the change is for the bet ter.
 It would be considered outrage ous now for girls to marry at the age when many of their grand mothers took up the cares and re- responsibilities which that step al most invariably entails. Girls of IA and 15 were then looked upon as women grown.
 Their granddaughters of today at the same age are little else than children, scarcely half way through school life.
 Within the next generation the marriagable age moved step or two in the right direction; buc even then girls were classed as old maids at much earlier age than anyone would dream of so consid- ering them today.
 In contemporary fiction, the blooming sweet seventeen" tor thereabouts) was the favorite heroine, but to-day the ingenue, or boarding school miss, is relegate1 comparatively to the background.
 Something more than a fresh complexion and bright eyes Charming and highly desirable as these undoubtedly are) is required of a girl. She must be, if not ac- tually interesting and cultured, at least chatty and conversant with current topics. She must have tact and adaptability, so as to avoid extremes of all kinds; of being either too obviously delight ed by passing attentions from men, or on the other hand, aggres- siyely independent of the little courtesies which any we'll bred man will naturally extend to pleasant girl into whose society circumstances may have thrown him. Indeed, anywhere between 70 and 30, a girl is more likely to be sought after than before she is 20 years old.
 One frequently heart thought. full girls remark that they prefer men older than themselves to boys of their own age. This is probably because of the we'll known fact that girls develop ear Her than boys. On the other hand, the old cast-iron rule (cited by Shakespeare in the familiar quotation: Let still the woman take an older than herself'J does net obtain to anything like the same extent as formerly.
 Much discrepancy in age (de- spite happy exceptions) is gener- ally rather to be deprecated; but just as much so where the man is the elder, unless he happens to be of a young and intensely sympa- thetic disposition. Old maids, or bachelor girls, as we much more descriptively term them nova days, make much better wives than

INSECTS OF OTHER LANDS.
Imported for Purpose of Destroying
 Disease of Fruit Trees.

AmPoA lcu lol EuIpoSS or DeStToying
 Disease of Fruit Trees.
 The American public naturally looks with suspicion upon the i'm portation of foreign living prod ucts. The English sparrow, first brought here about 30 years ago, has driven away nearly al, our na- tive song birds, while the German carp has driven from our streams most of the fine food fishes with which they once abounded, says the Chicago Chronicle.
 It is now proposed to import certain breed of insects which, it is claimed, will rid the orchards of diseases that are imperiling the bearing capacity of the trees. This insect, though called the Chi nese lady-bird, is nothing but an insect. 1t is said to be the natural enemy of the dreaded San Jose scale. It's discovery in it's native habitat near the great wall of China was one of the most valu- able finds credited to the agricul- tural department. It is multiply ing at a very satisfactory rate. Colonies were sent out to six states during the last year with encouraging success. A colony liberated in a Georgia peach or chard of 1000 trees now numbers 30,000 to 10000 insects, and with the additional broods expected be fore the end of the season will be numerically strong enough to practically exterminate the scale. As this orchard adjoins another of 250,0OO trees similarly infested, the spread of the beetle will be anxiously awaited.
 Equally promising are the re ports of the results of the impor- tation from Italy and Africa of an insect enemy of the black scale which threatened the destruction of California's famous orchards. The insect is now established in every county south of Point Con ception, and yet the commissioner of horticulture at San Francisco, who has been distributing the col onies, cannot keep pace with the demand. The Los Angeles com missioners distributed over 400 strong colonies at Escondido. At Pasadena the insects, according to the commissioner of agriculture, have spread naturally, and, what IS vitally important, have de stroyed lover 90 per cent. of the black scale"
 The other important insect i'm. portation made by the division namely, the insect that is essen Ilal Tor the fetlllZatlOn of figs and the production of numerous seeds so characteristic of the Mediter- ranean fruit-has become thor oughly acclimatized at Fresno and at Niles, Gal. The fig crop raised at the former place during the last year was large and of very superi- or quality. Now that the secret of fig growing has been traced to the agency of an insect and the latter has become thoroughly es- tablished, new fig orchards are springing up in many parts of Cal ifornia.

WHAT WOMEN SAY
OF PAXTINE TOILET
ANTISEPTIC
Unsolicited Words Of Praise Pouring
in From Women All Over the Country.
HAVE YOU TRIED PAXTlNE?

Paxtine is a pure toilet antiseptic of
great cleansing and healing power, and
it will insure health and an attractive
personality to every woman who uses
it.
Thousands Of letters have been re-
ceived from women telling how Pax
tine has cured them Of nasal catarrh
sore throat, sore eyes, pelvic catarrh,
skin eruptions, or how 1t has been found
indispensable in the toilet to whiten the
teeth, cleanse the mouth, and perfume
the breath, or overcome all tendency to
sore feet that ache, swell, smart and
burn.
READ THE FOLLOWING UNso-
LIGHTED WORDS OF PRAISE.
Mrs. ]. w. Cooke, Of West Superior,
Wis. writes: I have derived SO much
benefit from Paxtine that were 1t SIS a
box, would not be without it.
Mrs. e. D. Knapp Of Chicago, ILL.,,
writes: After doctoring for years for
pelvic catarrh, Paxtine cured me. AS a
toilet antiseptic it is indispensable.
Mrs. O. Paro, of Trenton, Ont, writes:
/ have never found anything equal to
Paxtine to whiten the teeth and per-
fume the breath. 1t has SO many uses
in the toilet cannot say enough in lis
praise.
Mrs. Josie B. Greene Of Kirklin, Ind,
writes: Paxtine cured me of nasal ca
tarrh when everything else had failed.
Miss May Enrick Of Meade, Kans.,
writes: l have received wonderful re-
suits from Paxtine. Every woman
should use it in her toilet.
Mrs. Lulu Taylor, of Alton, Ill, writes
After suffering for years with pelvic
catarrh Paxtine has cured me. 1t is
the finest antiseptic for the toilet I have
ever used. ~4s.&, ..srs g.. FL. 2.,4+t
Paxtine is in powder form, easily dis
solved, and each box makes a large
quantity of strong antiseptic solution,

Any woman who once uses it in her
toilet will never be without it. It is
recommended by physicians and leading
specialists in all parts of the country.

BREACH OF THE PEACE.

Stallings Hits Wife on Temple Woman
Unconscious for Hours.
Last night about 8 o'clock Policemen
Cooper and O'Connell. Of the Dixwell
avenue station, arrested Charles r.
stallings, Of 20 Eaton street, on a tech
meal charge of breach of the peace,
which may be changed to a more seri-
GUS one. 1t is alleged that Stallings be-
came enraged at his wife during an ar
Runent and struck her heavy blow on
the right temple just over the eye. DR..
NJ. T.. Allen was called and he worked
over the woman for a long time before
she regained consciousness. She was
severely hurt, but it is not thought Sc
riously so. The doctor stated that the
blow was evidently struck with blunt
instrument, but the man claims he used
only his fist. The police claim to have
frying pan which the man used as a
weapon.
Stallings IS a colored man employed
by the winchester Repeating Arms
company. He will be tried in the city
court this morning.

Site for It at Whitneyville Now Pro-
posed Action Being Taken.
A project is being quietly pushed in
whitneyville by some of the residents
towards erecting monument in honor
of Eli whitney, the inventor of the cot
ton gin. Already a number of the
prominent citizens have become inter-
ested in the affair and the plan has
met with general approval. Among
these are James H. Webb, Prof. Will
IIiam Blake and Thurston I. Bonney.
The following letter from Prof. Will
liam P. Blake clearly explains what is
desired by those who are pushing the
idea.
Thurston I. Bonney. Whitneyville.
Conn.
Dear Sir:-Your efforts for the erec-
ton q monument to Eli whitney, the
inventor of the cotton gin, are deserv-
ing Of all encoura cement and support.
You are correct in the opinion that the
location for such monument should be
DIT wv elllStll Ctil-
pie park, New Haven. There is little
fitness In that triangular plot for such
a monument, while at Whitneyville,
the scene Of Whitney's greatest achiev-
ments, Nature has provided an ideal
lspot at the extreme eastern end of Mill
Rock, where the tray dyke rising from
Igreat depths has cut through the new
Ired sandstone, and formed the water
Ifall on Mill river, utilized by Whitney.
Here on the right bank of the river the
dyke rises in a bold picturesque en1in-
ence close by the main travelled road,
Ieasily accessible, and overlooking Lake
4 Whitney on the north, the armory on
1.-THE east, and, on the south. the village
land line and houses erected by Whit
lney for the well-being and comfort Of
Ibis worknen.
The monument should be erected at
this prominent central locality, donin-
Eating the place Of Whitney's labors,
first, on the cotton gin, next on the
making of firearms for the United
Estates, upon the uniformity system. BY
1.-THE institution of this system and its
development, Whitney revolutionized
the business Of manufacturing and laid
1.-THE foundations for the industrial SUI
lpremacy of the United States. The
machines he invented to meet the needs
Iof this new system of manufacturing
were made here in Hamden at Whit
lneys armory, and here the worknen
lwere trained and lived, and from here
they went to Springfield, and to other
localities, carrying the methods and ira
EDITIONS Of Whitney,s arrnory with them
whitney was thus not only a manu-
Ifacturer, but a teacher and a true IA
lther of industry.
The captains of industry every
where; the cotton planters from Vir-
ginia % Texas; the millions of workers
in our factories and the. general pub
lie, should hail with satisfaction and
with enthusiastic substantial support
| an opportunity to erect a monument ii
enduring bronze to Ell Whitney, this
skilled mechanician inventor teacher
land philanthropist.
/ LIE me suggest the organization of z
monument association, whose duty
Ishall be to secure a site and subscrip.
ltions, and to erect the monument.
