new Yorls's Civilization

From the savannah News.
One cannot help admiring New York
civilization. A day or two ago a bride
on her way to the church, in which she
was to be married, was overwhelmed by
q mob of women, who snatched the flow
ers she carried in her hands, and nearly
tore her clothes from ger body in their
anxiety to examine the texture of the
fabrics she wore.

SIN some Use for Men.

From the Terre Haute Tribune.
The governor Of Ohio received a num-
Der of sentimental and sympathetic letters
imploring mercy for Dr. Haugh. who was
to be executed for numbering his father
mother and brother; all of them from
women. Probably when the ladies vote
men still will have to be employed to
enforce the more rigorous laws and to set
the mouse trap.

NOTES AND NOTIONS.
From the Baltimore American.
A WOMAN's WAY.

Her lovers sdored her. they asked and
implored her
To give them look or a smile:
Like little dogs trotted to tasks she
allotted,
And begging for notice the while.
They fetched and they carried, they
lodged and they parted
when snubs for reward did she give;
They took it all meekly, gave in 10 her
weakly,
Just asking permission to live.
Their worship she secuted. their love
lightly fouted.
And treated them all with disdain;
She met VOWS with laughing. hearts an
guish with chatting.
And took as just tribute their pain
That they did adore her. the more seemed
TO bore her,
She said they were idiots all,
So little she priced them that she soon
despised them
For being slaves Of her tbralL
At last came wooer who seorned to
pursue her:
He ordered her just at his viii.
Asserted his power, said he would ALLOW
her
His need Of affection 10 I'LL

"and ! shall send you some pills

A druggist recently gave a Sun.
day school teacher a shock that he
is not likely soon to forget, says the
st. Louis Globe Democrat. While
seated at the soda fountain the
teacher was delivering lecture con.
cerning how much the world had
forgotten since ancient times and
how well it would be il we could
learn something more about the
articles Of everyday use, for in
stance, mentioned in the Bible
"Now, there's gold, frankincense
and myrrh," he said, "that the wise
men brought from the east. OF
course we all know about gold, but
who knows anything about franklin
cense or myrrhi" z"
"We've got 'em for sale right
here" said the druggist, reaching
for a bottle, which he placed on the
counter before the astonished lee
turer. "Here's your frankincense,
and" setting down another bottle,
"here's your myrrh. Now, while
[ think of it," bringing third bot
tie, 'here's your mamma too. They
are all gums. Myrrh is the dried
sap Of genus Of trees and shrubs
growing in Arabia, Persia and In
dia; incense Is composed in great
part Of the olibanum gum, the sap
Of tree which grows in Arabia all
along the Red sea coast, on the east
coast Of Africa and in great abun-
dance in India.
"To make the incense used in the
churches the olibanum is some
times mixed with myrrh, cascarilla
and storax, also an oriental gum.
The shrubs producing myrrh are
found all around the Mediterranean,
the best qualities coming from Sic
lily. The mama Of the drug store
Is also kind OF gum, an exudation
from several varieties Of small trees
and shrubs growing in Arabia and
here and there through southern
Asia. The monks Of Mount Sinai
pack GOO or 800 pounds Of mamma
every season.
"Both myrrh and mama are often
used in compounding prescriptions,
and incense, Of course, Is in con-
slant demand in the churches. II
is rather curious, however, that dur
ing all the centuries from the time
when the Jews marched out Of
Egypt myrrh, incense and mamma
have year by year been collected and
sent to Europe from the same coun-
tries in which they are first men
toned and that tho incense burned
in our churches today is Of the same
kind and comes from the same
places as that which smoked In
Aaron's censer."

Austraiia's Caves.

The Narracootc caves, in south
Australia. are situated in the south
eastern portion Of the state, the
principal chamber, known rs the
"big cave" with its magnificent
profusion OF beautiful stalactites
and stalagmites, forming dazzling
spectacle when illuminated by the
magnesium light. In second cham
Der, or cave, nature has been prod
igal Of the mystical ornament with
which tho whole place abounds.
There are pillars so finely formed
and covered with such dainty trel-
lis work, curious drippings Of lime
creating such wonderful masses Of
lovely scroll work, that the eye is
bewi.dered with the extent and rari-
ty Of the adornment. II Is like a
palace Of ice, with a rich profusion
Of frozen silyery cascades and foun-
tains all around. Western Austria
liza possesses also a couple Of ex-
tensiye cave systems which fairly
rival those Of New South Wales,
Queensland and south Australia.
