WOMEN IN QUOTATIONS.

Consideration OF the man" in quotes
reminds me that woman" has got
into them also. The women who put
themselves in the cart, in Hyde park,
and elsewhere, and talk about
woman" ad1mbrate a sort of wo-
man that one has not hitherto quite
known. Woman, uncertain, coy and
hard to please, or ministering angel,
is classed. Likewise, the Rev. Ed
ward Bulls notion of woman-that
God made her for the use of man.
and for the good and increase of the
worlds tclerably familiar. And the
woman that the lovelorn prince-he
was still a bit off his head, perhaps
so prettily assured the advanced
princess, should set herself to man,
like perfect music unto noble words
there is no occasion to put her into
quotes, either. Theoretically, at any
rate, she is comprehensive. The "wo-
man" of the advanced women now
is another matter She is not to set
herself to man; she is to GUST him.
The music she is for having him face
will be of no flattering character The
increase of the world is to be no con-
Germ of hers, and the Rev. Edward
would have bad time with her. Min

ton is to be prime minister-prime
minister in capitals, who knows? Let
her get upon voting equality with
man and into what of place or power
will she net be prepared to vote her
self? Well. of woman" in quotes
it is we'll that mere man should not
be too predicatory, because after all,
you cannot put all women into quotes,
and woman" is not going to take
the eternal comedy of sex off the bill
altogether, yet awhile. Woman"
might come by her ends, but there
would, I take it, always be women
enough to enable man to regard even
such a catastrophe with composure.

cantured Chinese Flaq.

The recruiting Office in this city
has hung on its walls Chinese flag
which was captured rom the Chinese
forces by the MINI infantry of the
United States in command of Col.
Liscum.
The flag is twelve feet long and is
shaped as an uneven triangle. The
base, which was fastened to the pole.
is six feet wide. A many colored
dragon four feet long. with fiery tongue
is striving to reach a bloody
moon just out of his reach. The drag
on is in this position on the flag
to show the Chinese belief that the
empire would pull down that moon
could it but reach it. Several bull,
let holes decorate the yellow portion
which surrounds the moon and the
dragon.
The finest of workmanship is dis
played on the flag. The toes, eyes
and the fiery moon are carefully in
laid against the sombre background.
The Chinese fiagmakers consider
well make flag an estimate of their
love for the Emperor.
The crimson moon and the fiery
tongue do not attract the attention OF
the observer as does the blood which
is spattered in many places on the
flag. The blood is sure to remind
that war is not of the gentlest occu-
pation.-Wichita Eagle.

says Like these.

| like the tangled brakes and briers,
The hazy smoke of forest fires;
The misty hills soft robe of brown,
The ravished fields regretful froWn;
The wrinkled roads unconscious
snare,
The free. unbreathed and fragrant
air.
I like the wide, unworried sky,
The resting winds contented sigh;
The rustic of the vagrant leaves,
The whisper of the standing sheaves;
The birds lament for summer lost,
The singing challenge of the frost.
The sturdy life of stalwart trees
Thrills in my veins on days like
these.

of sleep sent to the Daily Mail by dis
tinguished men:
The Bishop of Riponi: When
young, take as much sleep as you
need; when old, as much as you can

Sir Frederick Treves: The aver
age amount of sleep for myself is
seven to eight hours.
Sir George Lewis, the well-known
solicitor: I think eight hours SUI
ficient. sleep nine hours.
Mr. Vincent Hill, general manager
of the Southeastern Railway:
think it is well that people should
sleep as long as they can. and that
is my practice.
Mr.. Beerbohm Tree: l should say
in my case eight hours sleep is bet
ter than seven, and nine hours better
than eight / take nine hours when
ever 1 can, and invariably sleep for
that period when on a holiday, and az
near to it as possible at all times.

Sir Edward Ward, Permanent I'm.
der-Secretary for War: find six and
a half hours enough. l daresay

an occasional wake up; but l should
call that Stacking"
DR.. Josiah Oldfield: 1t is certain
that every man must have certain
minimum of sleep per twenty-four
hours. Most find that minimum
eight hours, but an enormous number
are satisfied with five and half hours,
l always sleep eight hours and re-
gard that as, on the whole, the prop
er minimum for man. Certainly
five and a half hours is not enough.
Sir Robert Ball: Don't expect an
astronomer to confess how many
hours of the precious night he wastes
by staying in bed.
The Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Lieuten-
ant of Ireland: find that much can
be accomplished in either direction
by training and habit. But as to the
saying that one cannot burn the can
die at both ends l have heard the
suggestion that it is one of the ways
of making both ends meet.

Charles Frohman, the theatre man

hours of sleep averaged not more
than five. He rose at 1880 a. M, and
rarely got to bed before 2 a. M, some
times later.
At the Bank of England high Of

ever he could get it-that is, be-

game by the score Of 3 to 1. Sixty
ninth made the three runs in the first
inning and the Firty-firest scored the
single tally in the fourth.
BY winning yesterdays game, the
Sixty-ninth has good chances for
winning the championship honors at

Sixty-ninth the Forty-first. which now

Science At Last Discovers A
Real Cure For rheumatism.
After years of experiment a new
5cientifc remedy has been found
taat notonly relieves, but absolutely
cures Rheumatism aud kindred dis
eases, to stay, rheumatism is caused
oy al excess of poisonour acids in
the blood. The new discovery RHEU-
MACIDE, though purely vegetable,
ind acting through natures channels,
aeutralizes these aci1s and sweeps
all posons and harmful germs out of
he blood. At the same time it tones
up the stomach and regulates the
liver and kidneys.
RHEUMACIDE therefore, cures
the disease permanently, because it
removes the cause. It has cured
hundreds of cases after the most
aoted doctors ana hospitals have
4iled. cured James
Wilkes, of Dillon, S. c., after he had
been held in bed by rheumatism
Tor three years and his feet were
irawu up almost to his back. This
is only one of the many marvelOut
cures RHEUMACIDE has already
performed. ~ACIDE is cur
ing many cases of Rheumatism,
5ciatica, lumbago, govt, kidney
trouble, indigestion and constipation,
right in this community today.
Because it has cured so many
others we believe it will cure you.
All the leading druggists in this
