Our Manly Training of Girls.

Our training of girls approaches
close to the idiotic, claims Katha-
rine Eggleston in Woman'S Homs
Companion for June. The average
girl, from the minute she leaves
her dolls to go to kindergarten,
till she matriculates at college, is
told about men and mems work
never about women. The kinder
garten songs and tales are about
Lincoln and Washington-and even
the pictures of animals show the
lion and forget the lioness. In old
er childhood she is taught to build
sand forts instead of good old-fash-
ioned mud pies, and even the sums
i'll arithmetic dwell OH "Billy's
marbles and 'John's" apples, to
the total neglect Of his sister.
Later still she goes to high school
and learns history with all its ideals
of brave men-and here again the
woman's share of quiet courage is
completely overshadowed. She
learns carpentering, although she
cannot cook an egg or sew seam.
And finally, her education finished
she knows all about the higher
mathematics and is short changed
by the butcher. She learns politi-
cal economy, but doesn't know
who are the members of her own
school board. Miss Eggleston' S
bright article concludes:
"If your boy wanted to be law
yer. and a neighbor told you to
put him to work in a carpenters S
shop by way of preparation, you
would think your neighbor crazy.
But you do not consider yourself
crazy when you train your daught
er, who is to be wife and mother
(and nothing can get away from
the grim statistics that women do
marry, despite economic indepen-

UNTIL THE SPACE NOW AFFORD

CREASED THERE WILL BE A
SLIGHT DELAY IN DISTRIBU-
TING THE O'CLOCK MAIL.

Until the space now afforded in
the pOstOlFice is increased in order
that more men can work there will
be a slight delay in the distribution
of mail arriving in the city on train
No. 1 from the north at o'clock in
the afternoon.
Recently several complaints have
been registered at the pOstOffice over
delays in getting mail arriving on the
4 o'clock train, some wanting to know
why a larger force is not worked on
this mail, which is the heaviest of
anv arriving during the day or night.
Speaking of the matter to Jour
nal representatives yesterday after
noon Assistant Postmaster Hayes
stated that it is impossible at the
present time to work a large force,
owing to the small space. If more
men are worked on the mail they will
retard the work as they will be in the
way Of each OLneT.
Recently an inspector of the treas
ury department was in the city and
went through the Office with the view
of making changes and affording
more room for the large force OF men
now necessary to handle the mails.

4 DESTRUCTIVE
FIRE RACED At

BLAZE STARTED IN DIAMOND G.
HARLAN'S STORE, SPREADING
RAPIDLY AND CONSUMING MUM
Der OF BUILDINGS BEFORE
CHECKED BY CITIZENS.

Another destructive fire occurred
at Milton Sunday night, starting 1T
1870 O'Clock in the merchandise store
Of Diamond & Harlan, near the river
front, and burning everything in It's
pathway. destroying the place n
which it had its origin, Chas. Clarke 5
hotel and store, ElliOtt's meat mar
ket. several fruit and confectionery
stands and the building aWned h.
Frank Harrison and used as a club
room. A gentleman OF high standing
from Milton stated yesterday that it
was the generally accepted opinion
the fire was of incendiary origin, since
the building in which it started was
of sheeted iron. and no one was known
to have yentured within the place
since early in the day.
At one time strenuous work on the
part of ciIizens was done to stop the
fire from destroying the fine county
Jail in Milton. This fight was led by
Peter TOmassellO. chairman of the
board of county commissioners The
place was saved mainly through fore
sight on the part of the present board
Of county commissioners which had
placed a tank on top of the building.
The tank was fortunately filed with
water and the supply was drawn
upon to good effect.
All the buildings burned were rath-
er cheap structures and none carried
insurance of any considerable amount.

deaVoring to run their farms on an
improved and scientific basis.
Mr.. Mays assured his audience that,
as result Of a use Of improved
methods and seeds, the soil Of Leon
county can be made to produce from
three to ten times the amount Of the
present crops Then as a natural Sc
uuence, it will follow that the land
values will be largely increased, and
many acres now lying idle will be put
under cultivation. He spoke strong
" on the subject of the use Of i'm
proved seeds, and some of his au-
dience testified to the value Of these
seed from their own practical expe-
rience Especially has improved cot
ton seed been demonstrated to be far
more productive than those hereto
fore used. Mr.. Mays urged the mem-
bers of the chamber and the mer-
chants of Tallahassee to secure a
certain amount Of these improved
seeds for free distribution among
such farmers as will place them
selves under the guidance of the gov
eminent expert. AS a token OF his
interest and good faith in this good
seeds movement, Mr.. Mays offered to
contribute $4,000 to any fund here
after raised by the members. This
matter will be taken into considera-
ton at the next meeting Of the cham =
Der, and subscriptions solicited for
moneys to be used in the purchase OF
seed.
Water at ST. Marks.
In a discussion of the various fac
tors to be employed in the develop
ment Of Tallahassee, the desirability
of obtaining deep water at st. Marks
was brought up. Mr.. Mays made
known his intention Of visiting st.
Marks for the purpose of investigat-
ing the feasibility Of this project, in
order that he might be able TO make
an inteIIigen report of conditions and
requirements when he returns to
Washington. The establishment OF
this ancient port will mean much to
Tallahassee in the way OF lower
freight rates and quicker transporta-
ton.
Among future improvements which

IF IT DISAPPEARS, IT'S ECZEMA
How to Tell Whether a Skin Affection
Is an inherited Blood Disease
or Not.

Sometimes it is hard TO determine
whether a skin affection is a sign of
a blood disorder or simply a form of
eczema. Even physicians are often
puzzled in their diagnosis. The best
way for any one afflicted is
to go to the Crystal Pharmacy
and other leading drug stores
and obtain fifty cents worth OF
pOslam. Apply this, and if the
itching stops at once and the trOU-
bic is cured in a few days it may
be set down as having been eczema,
as this is the way pOslam acts in the
worst cases of eczema, and in curing
acne, herpes, blOtches, letter, pies,
salt rheum, rash, BARRIERS and other
forms Of itch, scaly scalp, and all sur
face skin affections.
Any one who will write to the Emer-
gency Laboratories, No 80 West
Twenty-fffth street, New York, can Sc
cure, by mail free of charge, a sup
ply sufficient to cure a small eczema
surface or clear a complexion, over
night and remove pimples in twenty
four hours.
