In my mind, the fact that a woman is out in the world earning her own livinc should not lessen in any degree the deference which should be paid her by men. If anything, her efforts should increase the respect and courtesy of men. A chivalrous attitude toward a woman, no matter what her position in lite may be, is not a matter of principle with gentlemen 5 it is a matter of instinct. We cannot forget that our mothers were women, and we cannot overlook a certain fineness in the character of women which men, as a rule, do not possess. The woman is cast in the finer mold, and it is natural that she should be treated ac cordingly. I believe that women, speaking generally, are more con scientious, more moral, more spiritual than men ; and they bring into any sphere which they enter desirable qualities which did not exist there when it was occupied by men alone. In a business office they have an ele vating and refining influence. I bid them Godspeed in their so-called invasion of the business world. Women are more helpless than men when thrown upon their own resources, for the reason that their sensibilities are greater and their self-assertiveness is less ; therefore they should be given every opportunity and encouragement in their efforts to help themselves. If I had a position which a woman was competent to fill, and a man and a woman applied for it, I would most certainly give it to the woman. trom "Is Chivalry DeadV in Demo res fs Magazine for February. If asked the question "Have you got a stomach?" it would be safe on general principles, to answer 'Yes." But, if you are sure of it, that is, if you ever feel any distress after eating or any pains of whatever description in the region of the stomach, you have got something more than an ordinary stomach ; in other words, you have got a diseased stomach. The stomach is a powerful muscle, and the proper remedy for a tiued muscle is rest, fry the Shaker Digestive Cordial, for this product not only contains digested food, which will nourish the system without any work on the part of the diseased organs, but it aids the dices tion of other foods as well.

VARIOUS THEORIES AS TO THE LOCA TION OF PARADISE AND HADES. Hell and heaven beliefs had their origin about the year 150 B. C, and since that time there have been thou sands of attempts to locate these places, the one of future punishment and the other of everlasting happiness. The old medireval idea of hell is the one which gives us to understand that the devil and his imps have their caldrons and other articles of infernal utility constantly working somewhere. On the other hand, wc are told and believe that heaven is an abode 1 of light, beauty and jpy located far above the earth. One writer believes that heaven will be on a planet which will be prepared for the saints in the last day, and another believes that this earth, burned over and purified - by fire, will be the final resting place of those who escape the horrors of per petual punishment in the hell that has been prepared "for those who love sin." Dr. VVhiston, the friend of Sir Isaac Newton and the first of the great race of "speculative astro nomers," believes that hell is located on a comet. But the most curious theory we have ever investigated was that ad vanced by Dr. Mortimer, author of "The Spirit of God on Fire." One of the several substitutes of this re markable book was one which gave the reader to understand that the author believed that heaven is located on the inner globe of the sun. This substitute was "The Globe Within the Sun Our Heaven." According to Mortimer's theory, our sun is sur rounded by an envelope or photos phere of name 100,000 miles itself. Taken all together, this idea of the photosphere is a vast nonluminous void. Farther on is the great globe of the sun itself. Taken all together, this idea of the sun may be aptly compared to a peach or a plum. The envelope of name occupies the place of the skin, the "vast nonluminous void" the place of the meat of the fruit and the central globe (true sun) the place of the seed. On this sun globe, inside tne great fiery envelope, Dr. Mortimer believed heaven to be situated. The photos phere or envelope of fire he took to be hell or the place of future punish ment for the wicked. The "nonlum inous void," according to Mortimer, is the "great gulf between," which is mentioned quite frequently in the Scripture. St, Louis Republic. Beginning Life ill Over. According to the latest reports from Kansas, Herbert Spencer, who caused such a sensation last spring, when it , will be remembered he was discovered by the police wandering about the streets,, having completely lost his identity, is still a psychological mys- i tery. Bit by bit Spencer is picking up his old life, but it is all approached from the view point of to day. There j is no recollection of the past involved j in the process. Spencer is once more . attending the University of Kansas. In his letter to the secretary of the university Spencer said that he had been informed that he had once been j a member of the freshman class antl he wished to know if he could re-enter I without an examination. . The answer ! came that he could, and two weeks ! ago he started to college. At college Spencer acts as an entirely new stu dent, with the exception that the studies of the first half of the freshman year seem familiar to him. He docs not recognize his old teachers. He was given the seat he occupied when he was there before, but did not know such was the case until some one told him. He had to become acquainted again with the different rooms and passageways. And so it is in going around town and to and from the uni versity. He has to begin all over again, as though he were a child and a stranger, and yet he has the intelli gence of a grown-up man.

A medal of honor has been awarded ! to Michael Dougherty, late private, Company M. Thirteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry, for most distinguished gallant ry in action, at Jefferson, Va , Octo ber 12, 1863. This soldier, at the head of his com pany, dashed across an open field, ex posed to a deadly fire from the enemy, and succeeded in dislodging them from an unoccupied house which he and his comrades defended for several hours against the repeated attacks, thus preventing the enemy from flank ing the position of the Union forces. And Weyler has "gone to the front" again, Havana dispatches inform us. But investigation always discloses that the front he goes to is far away from the one the insurgents put up. S. Davidson, a Scranton clothing salesman, was killed by a Pennsylvania shifting engine at Sunbury on Friday. The Irish Potato Not Irish " The peculiarity of the Irish potato, so called, is in the fact that it is not Irish," observed one of the potato experts of the agricultural de partment. "The potato originally grew wild in the fields of Chile, Peru and Meico. Sir John Hawkins did not take it to Ireland until 1565. Sir Francis Drake took it to England 20 years afterward. It did better, how ever, in Ireland than anywhere else and got Us name, no doubt, because of its early and extensive cultivation in Ireland. Botanically it was origi nally known as the Batata Virginiana, but in after years it was property identified and classified as the So- lanum tuberorum. As the winter stock is now being laid in, it may be well for the inexperienced to be able to seltct good potatoes. " Cut the raw potato in two and rub the halves together. If the mois ture on rubbing is soft and liquid enough to drop, the potato will be sogcy and set when cooked. Rub The halves briskly around on each other. A potato that will be dry and mealy when cooked "will give out a good, rich froth, while a poor one will show only a watery froth by the same action. 1 he pieces will stick together if the potato is a cood one. Of course the whole thing is to test the amount of starch in the potato, for the more starch the better the potato. If, however, a person intends to lay in a very large supply, the best plan, of course, is to cook them, and there will be no chance of mistake." Wash ington Post. The Homoeopathic Recorder, July, 1896, says: "These badly prepared cocoas are the ones that people get tired ' of, something that rarely happens if a properly prepared cocoa, such as Walter Baker. & Company's, is used. It is at once a delightful food and nourishing drink, and it would be well for humanity if there were more of it consumed and less tea or coffee."
