Nerves and Women,

A common symptom of nervousness, es-
pecially among women, is the fear of be-
ing alone. This is morbidity which has
distinct physiological effects. With it's
onset the heart begins to beat more quick
ly, the blood rushes to the head, per-
SEPARATION breaks upon the body, and the
mind is flung into turmoil and tumult.
The sufferers intelligence is often quite
clear and recognizes the absurdity of the
dread, yet she cannot shake it off She
resolves again and again to triumph over
it, but again and again her resolution is
vanquished How, then, is she to be de-
livered from this enslaving obsession? No
doubt, much may be done by attention to
bodily health diet, sleep, exercise, occu-
patton, etc. Yet it must be admitted that
in many cases these forces are powerless
to relieve. What such a sufferer needs
is the creation of an emotion stronger
than the emotion which is causing the
mischief This uplifting and saving emo
ton may spring up in different ways in
different individuals. To some it will be
made possible through sense of duty; to
others, through the love of husband or
child or sister or friend; to Others again,
through the thought of the Divine Pres
ence, which is not mere abstract notion
of Deity, but feeling realization of
living Power who holds and sustains, who
is "closer to us than breathing, nearer
than hands or feet."-Rev. Samuel Nc
Comb, D. D., in Harper's Bazaar.

Cantnre of a Wolf.

"In the winter of 1867" says con-
tributor to the April Wide World Mag
azine, ~ was depot agent ct Duncan,
Neb:, small town on the main line of
the Union Pacific Railroad, ninety-nine
miles west of Omaha The weather
was bitterly cold. One morning short
ly after daybreak, while a man ] knew,
called Herman Ernst, and his assistant
were hauling hay short distance from
my station, the formers attention was
attracted to a gray wolf standing be-
tween the rails Of the main line, and as
he did not leave the spot on the approach
of Herman s wagon, he, Herman, grabbed
his fork and ran UP to the wolf, which
had his head close to the rails as if in q
trap. After killing the wolf, Herman tore
the animal from the rail and was aston
ished to note that its tongue was left
attached to the metals. Subsequently
l investigated this curious incident and
evolved the following explanation. The
morning passenger train had passed that
point only few minutes before Herman
saw the wolf and had run over a jack
rabbit, leaving the blood on the rail.
The wolf had either been chasing the
rabbit or had happened by soon after
wards, and in trying to lick the blood from
the rail his tongue, owing to the intense
cold of the metal, froze to it, while the
saliva from his mouth became cake Of
solid ice over an inch thick, attaching
him to the rail as securely as though in q
wise. afterwards bought the hide from
Mr.. Ernst, and it is now in my house,
an object Of interest to many visitors"

Moltke's Readiness.

When German wishes to give an
illustration of the instant readiness Of
the army of the empire for war, he is
apt to tell how General Won Moltke, then
chief of the general staff, was awakened
one night in July, 1870, by his aide, and
informed that war had been declared
against France. The general-so goes
the story-simply said, "File No. g."
turned over, and fell asleep again. The
aide opened the file, and found the COM
plete plans for the mobilization of the
army in case of war with France, with
all the necessary orders to the command
ing officers written out and signed, and
only the date left blank. All he had to
do was to fill in the date and deliver the
orders to the nearest telegraph office.
The little story is Of course not true,
but may well serve the purpose of illus
tration; for it is fact that almost by
pressing button the standing army OF
the German empire, comprising in round
numbers $4,000 men and 10000 horses,
may be transformed, with the addition
of the first reserves, into an immense fight
ing machine of over one million men,
and placed in position at any of the from
tiers of the country, ready for battle.
All possible contingencies are provided
for; and men, horses, guns, ammunition,
and supplies of every description are
either ready or can be produced at q mo-
ment 8 notice.-Fr0m George Won Skal's

Chairman Bailiffs.
Some of the dealers protest that they
ought to have had earlier notice of the
intention of the bailiffs to take. such ac-
ton. The dealers say that they have
placed their orders for fireworks and fire
crackers and are going to have hard work
to dispose of their stock which will ar
rive in a few days. Some. have already
written to have their orders cancelled.
The action of the bailiffs will have no
effect upon those selling such goods at
wholesale except where sales would have
been made to local dealers. Some com
plant is made that the public ought to
be allowed to purchase fireworks in ad-
vance of July and that the order ought
to be amended in this respect, In the
main. however, the decision of the bailiffs
meets with hearty approval.
