23 years of age.
She is not strictly
Mabel K. OahTt handsome, in spite
of a Terr fine pair of eyes, a splendid figure
and prettily shaped hands and feet All her
movements are lissome and graceful.
Miss Cahill has only been three years in
this country. She is" the daughter of an
Irish country 'squire, and was born in a
quaint, ivy-clad manor house, among the
hills of Kilkenny county. Ballyconra is
the name of the old homestead, and Miss
Cahill's. brother, Major John Xugent Ca
liill, is now lord of the manor. Kilkenny
h 6 noted hunting county, and Miss Cahill
was one cf its most daring horsewomen. Her
prowess was also acknowledged in British
tennis, ana in 1!-S7 she almost succeeded in
beating Miss May Langrishe, the then lady
champion o: England.
In ib8S Miss Cahill came to Ifew York,
where she has several relatives, and so fell
In love with America that she has since re
mained on this tide of the Atlantic Last
Tear she tried for the tennis championship,
but was beaten after a severe, struggle by
Miss Kocsevelt This year, however, in
spite of numerous prognostications to the
contrary, she met Miss Eoosevelt in the big
tournament on "Wissahickon Heights and
completely defeated her.
FAMOUS LADT TEITST3 TUA.TKBS.
The entries for the ladies' singles upon
the grounds of the Philadelphia Cricl-o'
Club at Wissahickon Heights showed a list
of the mos noted and expert players in
America. Among them were Miss Adelaide
L. Clarkson, of the Scabrigkt Lawn Tennis
Club; Mrs. "W. Fellowes Morgan, of the
Short Hills Lawn Tennis Club; Miss Grace
"V. Roosevelt, of the Xew Hamburg Lawn
Tennis Club, a sister of Miss E. C. Koose
vlt, the ex-charapion; Miss Fannie EL
Grejorv, of the Meadow Club of Southamp
ton: Mrs. A II. Harris, of the Philadelphia
Club; Miss Mabel E. Cahill, tho noted ex
pert oft he Xew York Lawn Tennis Club;
Mis B. C. "Wister and Miss A 11. "Williams,
of the Philadelphia Club, and Miss L. D.
Voorhees, of the Bergen Point Lawn Tennis
Club. These names, together with those of
MU E. C. Eoosevelt, the champion,
who did not nlav until she was
challenged by the winner of the
touraev; Miss A L. Burdette,
Mis Bertha L. Townsend, the champion of
38?S and 189, and Miss P. Homans, made a
collection of feminine players of a known
excellence seldom before brought together.
Out of all the entries in the singles there
finallv emerged two young ladies, Miss
Mabel E. Cahill and Miss Grace "SV. Boose
velt, who were to compete for the first place
Jn the tournament and the honor of chal
lenging Miss E C. Roosevelt for the cham
pionship. Mi;s Cahill won, but in a match
honorable alike to both victor and van
quished. Miss Cahill then challenged Miss
E. C Boosevelt for the final test ot su
premacy. Both "were remarkably cool and collected
Jn the midst of a large audience, who were
tnuch more excited than were the con
testants. Both ladies played well back in
their courts, but Miss Cahill placed a trifle
closer and put more pace on the ball than
did her opponent. The battle was hard
fouzht and coolly played to the very last
stroke, and by nobody was the victor more
warmly congratulated than by the lady
whom she defeated.
The features of Miss Cahill's play are her
rapid s?rvice,strong drives, and phenomenal
Judgment. All this is the result of constant
practice. The writer has played many sets
with her, and knows how thoroughly her
toul is in eery game.
But Miss Cahill's fame is not confined to
tennis. She is also a prolific writer, and
has produced a novel entitled "Her Plav
thinjrsMen." Miss Cahill's trans-atlantic
relations are unimpeachable. Her family
is connected with some of the best blood in
the south of Ireland, and her brother is a
well-known sportsman and society man.
SHE WORKS f OE THE EfDrAJTS.
One of the most interesting people whose
work radiates out from and lias headquar
ters in Washington is Miss Fletcher, now
rf national fame for
her practical work
t.mong the Indians.
It was her interest
Jn ethnological prob
lems which first
made Mhs Fletcher
"a voluntary exile"
s.mong the Indian
tribes of Nebraska
end Dakota. She
wished especially to
ttudy the lives of
the women, "the

whether she might

tot discover some connecting links between
the past and present.
Miss i'letel er's solution of "the Indian
question" is citizenship and to that end
ghe has worked. Her first step was in ob
taining permission lor the Omahas to hold
their lands in severalty, in 1882, and the
tuccess of this measure, with her continued
efforts, led to the passage of the Dawes sev
erally bill, February 8, 1887. This General
Armstrong, of Hampton, has called "the
emancipation protlamation of the Indians,"
and the anniversary of its becoming a law
is oelebrated at the Institute as a day of re-
Joicing. Senator Dawes has received much
ust praise, but Miss Fletcher's part in the
work must not be overlooked.
Since 1KS2 she has been almost continu
ally in the emplov of the Government.
B!.e had charge ot the allotment of lands to
the Omahas. In 1885 she took cnarge of
the Indian exhibit at the 27ew Orleans Ex
position, and her lectures aroused great in
tei est in the city. "One of Miss Fletcher's
liobb.t s is the education of young married
In inns togethert both in the learning of
the schools, and in the manners of domestic
life," and in connection with her lectures
she has formed organizations to provide cot
tage homes for such young couples, to be at
tached to the schools. The first of these to
be built at Hampton, Va., (the Government
school for Indians and negroes), was pro
vided by the ladies of Christ Church, New
Orleans. Miss Fletcher is a member ot the
Folk-Lore Ansociation, and has done-some
very praiseworthy literary work.
THE TTOMAS Ef AFRICA.
The accompanying illustration Is made
from the first photograph of Mrs. French
Sheldon taken in African traveling cos
tume. It was taken just before she started
and reproduced by tho New York World.
As readers of Tiie" Dispatch know, Mrs.
Sheldon has returned from Africa, being
compelled to give up the major portion of
her plans by illness. However, her trip
was not fruitless.
Mention has alreadv been made by cable
of Mrs. French-Sheldon's exploration of
the remarkable crater Lake Chala, at the
foot of the eastern slope of Killma-Kjaro.
An explorer named ifew was the first
European to visit this African lake (In
1871), and, although he described the crater
as exceedingly steep and difficult of descent,
he managed to reach the edge of the water.
Mr. J. Thompson, on his journey to Masai
land, visited the lake and described its at
tractions in glowing terms. He, however,
could find np place by which it
was possible to descend. "Mrs. Sheldon
undertook the adventure, accom
canied by Mr. Keith Anstruthcr, who
some months before had forced a path down
to the water's edge. Mrs. Sheldon went
first, and. at considerable risk, succeeded in
forcing her way through the dense vegeta
tion and loose rocks. Sometimes she sank
to her armpits in the mass of decayed vege
tation which had accumulated for ages.
SWARMING "WITH TBOPICAL LIFE.
Multitudes of birds whirred about and
troops of monkeys leaped from branch to
branch. Soon, however, she found herself
upon a "ragced, rough triangle of tree
trunks and rocks." with the water lapping
her feet. Mr. Anstruther and the men fol
lowed with pontoons, which were locked
together andsetafloat. Mrs.Sheldon andMr.
Anstruther got on board and with the great
est difficulty persuaded one of their super
stitious men to accompany them. Mrs.
Sheldon and the man paddled, while Mr.
Anstruther "kept a sharp lookout for the
intrusive crocodiles, which were most
numerous." Ducks of three varieties rose in

The perpendicular rocks which come down
from the crest of the volcano could be seen
reaching far down below the surface of the
clear blue water. Above the water thev
were densely clad with trees, tangled with
lianas, and alive with birds and monkeys.
Mrs. Sheldon noticed a strange undercur
rent in the water that now and again caused
waves to rise up and move forward through
the center of the otherwise tranquil sur
face, yet the air was perfectly calm. The
sounding line carried by Mrs. Sheldon and
Mr. Anstruther did not reach the bottom of
the lake.
The natives have no name for a woman
leader of an exploring expedition; so they
named Mrs. Sheldon Bwana Bebe, which,
literally interpreted, means "master lady."

The woman whose face is reproduced
here is the first organizer of women's asso
ciations in xmianu.
She is Mrs. Eliza

taches to a woman
who in a far-away
corner of the world
has worked for the
enfranchisement of
her sex. "When Fin

form of a distinct
national movement,and Mrs. Lofgren's fath
er espoused the new movement. As a Judge
he understood the righteousness of the de
mand that the Finns ought to understand
the language used in the courts of their
own country. But he was an ejderly man
and had no time, neither opportunity to
study a new, difficult language. Oh, lor a
boyl he used to exclaim to Elizabeth if I
had a boy I would make him learn Finnish
and help me. "What a pity to have only
daughters!
These exclamations wounded Elizabeth's
proud and delicate mind. "If I learn
Finnish, father, she said at last, "would you
not let me help you?"
"You?" he smiled "You, a girl? "Wiry,
you might try, but I don't think you will
be able to carry it out."
This was the beginning of her career.
By and by she gathered some other women
around her, and in 1883 she started "The
Finnish "Women's Union." Two years ago
Mrs. Lofgren left her position as president,
much to the regret of all her friends. But
she is tirelessly working in most of the com
mittees in the union. Also, outside this,
she has done and is continually doing good
work for the advancement and development
of her sisters. Through her influence the
first women printers were employed in her
husband's large printing establishment.
Since then there are women in almost all
printing houses in Finland. She is also
one of the founders of the first Finnish
high schools with co-education, leading to
the university, and is at present, for the
fifth year, member of a school board. She
is a good scholar in the Finnish language,
and has translated a good deal from the
French, English and Norwegian literature
Into Finnish. Mrs. Lofgren's disposition
of mind is deep and somewhat reserved.
She is a woman of rich experience.

28. The Old Man of the Mountain has had
whole volumes written about and around
him by famous authors, Including Haw
thorne. No tourist of the White Mountains
deems his trip complete unless he has come
to this Franconia side range and gazed up
at the big, grim profile of a man's face that
appears in the rocky edge of Cannon Moun
tain. The first wonder of the spectator is
that the stone Tlsage is to impressively
clear and strong. Yon have believed that
enthusiastic writers and picture makers
have mixed fancy with fact, and that yon
will need to use your imagination as well as
your eyes in discerning the famous visage.
Therefore, when you see him at first glanoe,
away up there 1,200 feet above yon and
aoross a lake, the right is absolutely thrill
ing. 1don,tbelieYh9 came by chancer is
apt to be the gist of your first exclamation.
But nature did carve that face Just as it is
now. It is phenomenal sculpture only. A
party of men made the ascent recently to
nnd out whether something preservative
couldn't be done, but they decided not to
meddle.
HE CAKNOT LITE FOEETKB.
The granite is softening slowly, and a
fissure threatens the destruction of the
profile. The idea was to support the
crumbling stone by means of iron rods, but
this was not found feasible. So one of
these days the break will occur, though
hardly for the reason which I found carved
in the bark of a birch tree:
I.iko Adam, I'm tempted oft to JaU,
And should were I only human;
I fear even yet It may be my fate
To come wltn a crash and broken pat
To the feet of some fair woman.
Now, here's a chance for the professional
preservers and beautifiers of faces. Who
ever supplies a lotion that will keep the
Old JIatfs visage as it is will reap a for
tune, surely.
"But I'd be glad if his nose would drop
off," said a pretty maiden an hour ago.
"There's no use trying to be frisky with
that horridly cross face up there. Come,
Ned, let's row up the lake.'
Ned plied the oars with lazy obedience.
As the boat floated over the deep, clear
water of Profile Lake the Old Man's face
changed from severity to benignity, and
then withdrew itself from the young oottple
altogether, leaving them to their friskiness
nnawed.
THE FACE CHASOES BXPKESSIOHB,
From only a small area of the lake and
shore is the celebrated profile visible, for it
is formed of three vertically separated pro
tuberances of rock, and the necessary com
bination of outlines is lost by any farde
parture from the best point of observation.
The old man of the mountain has no full
face, nor even a three-quarter one. To the
maiden in the moving boat he showed first a
fierce and melancholy silhouette, gazing
loftily off toward Blaine at Bar Harbor or
thereabouts; then, as her sweetheart rowed
the boat a hundred yards or so, the linea
ments relaxed into almost womanish weak
ness; and finally, of a sudJen, the face had
vanished, and in its place was to be seen
only masses of granite in a rugged preci-
However, the two in a boat were not left
in solitude. Other folks vreie afloat, and
some of them were fishing for trout. Catch
ing them, too. Profile Lake is the water
pride of the mountains. Echo Lake is a
rival less.than a mile away, and its echo re
peats your words half a dozen times dis
tinctly. But Profile is the more beautiful,
with "its snug environment of mountains,
with a stream as picturesque as its title,
Pemmigewassett, tumbling out at one end,
with the Old Man overlooking the scene,
and with real trout snipping eagerly at the
bogus flies of the anglers. There must be
conditions of birth and food in Profile Lake
very favorable to trout, for the sport keeps
good.
BEAUTY TS A BOAT.
Sad the lot of the summer girl who some
time during the season does not get into a
mwboat. More sad still the lot of one who
does, and who fails to behave herself. Don't
try to be cute and cunning in a boat, my
dear. It is not the place for that act atalf.
Be self-iiossessed, prompt and steady in a
boat. Never move unless you have orders
to. Don't jump out and in with gurgling
and impulsive alacrity, or you may finish
your gurgle far, far below in a watery grave.
If you must "trail your slender figures
through the silvery waters" don't lean way
over the edge of the boat to do so. Don't
monkey with the toy rudder unless you are
told to, and don't undertake to attend to
steering unless yon know something about
it, or unless you freely confess your ignor
ance and attend to orders.
"Mind your business" is even a better
rule on a boat than on shore and it's a good
rule anywhere. At the same time any one
"forward" is supposed to have an eye to the
vessel's safety. Don't be too proud to tell
Dick if he is running into another boat or a
rock or a wreck. Dick may be looking ex
clusively at you. Yon must make allow
ances and keep a sharp eye out for the craft
yourself. Overcrowding a boat is fool
hardiness, and having a jolly time in a row
boat is mad insanity. A quiet row at sun
set with your best boy is very nice. You
want a fairly safe boat, of course, because a
boat is a great place for proposals, a
man is likely to fidget when ho proposes
and boats haye mamy times oft been upset
by fidgeting. But a "party" in a row boat
is more risk than anything else.
CLIMBING INTO A BOAT.
If you are a bold swimmer and dive from
a boat, don't try to climb in again over the
gunwale; only the safest of sale boats can
stand that. If you must climb in try com
ing up over one or the other end. In either
case you will probably split your bathing
suit, so I would not try it at all unless you
want to split your bathing suit. But my
pen has wandered from mountain boating to
seashore bathing.
What else do we summer idlers do in
Franconia Notch? Well, we indulge in
pedestrianism. Bald Mountain is a minia
ture Jungfrau, rugged and bare, and with a
valley view of miles and miles, yet requir
ing only half a mile of really hard climbing
to reach its summit So the veriest weak
ling among us may get there and imagine it
an Alpine sort of feat Cannon Mountain
is far more of an achievement, requiring
two miles of clamber and scramble toreacn
its summit Considerable areas of it are
unexplored and actual bears are there.
But Mount Lafayette is our most ambi
tious ascent, for it is the highest hereabouts,
save Mount Washington, and a much finer
heap of rock than that more famous pile.
"When- you get atop of Lafayette you are
almost exactly a mile higher than New
York City, and you have tired yourself with
a hard, zig-zag climb of almost four miles
from the public roadway. The figures will
strike an Alps veteran as insignificant, per
haps, but when you consider that a woman
will take a step for about every foot of the
6,269, you will believe that she is a weary
Creature when she finally slumps down on
the apex.
A PF.OBLEQI FOE SUMMEE OIBLS.
And the belles who make the ascent, ac
companied by beaux, are puzzled how to be
have. Are they more interesting if they
profess powers of endurance than if they
own up that they are collapsed? It is a
summer problem for a girl, anyway, how to
sustain herself in the contesting rivalry for
male admiration. Fate takes a strange turn
PTTTSBURG DISPATCH,
on occasions. The chatter of a freckle-faced
and captivating minx revealed this fact
quite vividly.
"That's.as bad as Miranda's slump,"
she, when someone spoke of an engageniej1
that had been suddenly broken. When the
others had gone the minx was asked what
she meant bv "Miranda's slump."
"My sister," said she, "has always had a
theory that to get the best effect out ot
beauty you ought to contrast it with ugli
ness. She's a pretty fine looker, you know,
though she isn't half as fine as she thinks
h'e is. Well, it has been her plan every
summer to invite some of her girl friends to
visit her here, but she took good care to
have girls with faces that you would have
to spank to make sleep. In this way she
fot all the attention when men came to the
ouse. The scheme worked very well for
a time. Miranda had everything her own
way all last season. But this year she asked
Bffie B. to visit ns for a few weeks. Effie
isn't a bit pretty, you know. She has
freckles worse than I have, and her nose is
a turn-up of the worse sort
FOBGOT ABOUT FEBSOirAX. MAGNETISM.
"But she's got magnetism, has Effie, and
Miranda didn't take this into account
There was a chap I won't mention names
that Miranda was gone on. He is a
winner in every way. He has good looks
and money, ana all the girls have chased
him for years. There is no doubt that
Miranda had all the best of It last winter
and spring, and she would have still, if she
had not tried to contrast herself with Effie.
Effie came, his nibs saw and was conquered,
and now' Miranda is the maddest girl in the
mountains. She is to desperate that she
hassent to Nahant and' asked Maud W. to
come and stay with us. Maud is one of
the handsomest girls in Boston, so I guess
yon can put it down that Miranda has gone
back on her theory and will henceforth play
an open gams in the great matrimonial
gamble."
You must know that the Franconia Notch
la a place where loud girls are not much
favored. The bad manners of Long Branch
and Saratoga are very rarely seen here. A
dancing party in the big hall of the Profile
House, or a coaching party at the Flume
House, may be composed of young people
who are strangers until two days ago, aljd
who may never meet again; but the average
of their deportment is so high that they
don't hesitate to make the occasion sociable,
and well-bred politeness is seldom broken
in upon by gaucheries.
GETTING AHEAD OF A BTVA1.
Cute girls, therefore, must make their
points neatly or fail to score. For instance,
Maud should never have said Kate's shoes
were small, and put such an emphasis on
"shoes," without mentioning the feet in
them. At least she should not have let
Kate hear her. Kate pretended not to hear
hut in a moment she limped and said, pout
ing prettily:
"Oh, dear, there Is gravel In my 6hoe."
"Take it off and I will shake It out,"
urged her escort
Down on the rock sat Kate, and off came
the dainty shoe. Ohl but the stocking was
delicate, too, and the little toes that showed
through the fine mesh of the silk were if
you will permit me daisies. Of course
Maud and her beau had to wait, and the
man was interested. The shoe was shaken.
To be sure, no gravel seemed to come out,
but what of that? With just a flash of a
glance up under her lashes at Maud, the in
genious Kate pushed her wee foot into the
shoe, oh, as easily as ever you can imagine.
Maud could have killed herself, but it was
a chance for Kate, wasn't it?
BCENEET THAT HAS FEW EQUALS.
Scenery! Why that is what the Franconia
Mountains were made for, and they are full
of it Have you been through the Catskills
and tried to become enthusiastic at the
Kaaterskill Fall by recollecting" Bryant's
poetry and Cowpers romances, while the
rironrietor let about a barrelfull of water
(drizzle over the rock for 25 cents? Well,
the streams of Franconia Notch are not dry at
this writing. They tumble noisily here,
there and everywhere, and cascades are in
multiple. You have heard of the Flume?
It is one of the things that White Mountain
tourists take a coach ride to see. It is a slit
in the rocks, 700 feet long, 60 to 70 feet
deep, with walls as plump as masonry, and a
creek running swiftly through it
At one point a Btream falls into the
Flume,making a remarkably pretty cascade.
Another place that we walk to is the Pool,
where the Pemmigewassett drops into a
deep, dark basin surrounded by precipitous
hills. So we take exercise afoot pleasurably,
in a highly civilized wilderness, and even
when we are lolling somebody is sure to he
doing something in sight that amuses us.
By looking out of my window, this very
minute, I see a woman trying to mount and
SUBDUE A CANTANKEKOUS.HAMMOCK.
Not one woman in a hundred can get into
a hammock gracefully. No one in a short
dress should attempt it unless a shawl be
first spread in the net The sides or a corner
of the shawl is then drawn across the feet
Far be it from me to quarrel with the pretty
glimpses of slipper that a pose in a ham
mock may show, tut a woman must he able
to regulate that show. It must seem an in
advertant revelation and not an awkward
expose. The average girl had 'really better
avoid a hammock, or at any rate be always
sure a shawl lies in it first There should
be plenty of pillows, too. You don't want
the under side of a hammock to describe an
ugly sag when you are in it, as though you
weighed 200 pounds.
Oh, hammocks are difficult means of
grace. They are not so romantic or sensa
tional, either, as they look in pictures.
Thus far in this paragraph I have written
with the example out there on the lawn.
Suddenly the girl has arranged herself in
the swinging couch. Her eflorts are over,
and at length she reposes so prettily that
a a sort of postscript I must add that she
would photograph well.
HOESES IN THE MOUNTAINS.
The narrow gauge railway ends at the
Profile, and from that point parties in stage
coaches trundle to the Flume and in other
directions. Other horse-drawn visitors come
through in all manner of vehicles, from one
horse Duckboards to six-horse coaches. Some
of the latter are dashing affairs, top-heavy
with merry passengers, and showing as finely
matched teams as could be found in a city
coaching parade. The last to pass by was
a tasteful us well as ornamental equipage.
The six big, spirited bay horses were all
alike in size, shape and color. The coach
was harmoniously brown, and its deckload
consisted of 18 young men nnd women,
dressed oppropriately for a summer outing
They blew horns, waved handkerchiefs and
hats, and hurrahed at us as they passed.
This is a great region for good, fat horses,
which are bred in adjoining Vermont
There seems to be no need of a Bergh society
hereabouts. It is not infrequent to see four
stalwart horses drawing a light wagon load
of six persons. Although the mountain
roads are steep, they are excellently made
of gravel, and therefore neither muddy nor
dusty.
If there is nothing to pity in the horses,
however, it is not so with the human foot
travelers. I suppose that the tanned
young men who make pedestrian tours
through the White Mountains gain in
health, if they escape rheumatism from
camping out at night; and very likely they
enjoy the pilgrimage, arduous though it
be. The bicyclers are better equipped for
solo transit, and they pass numerously,
with wads of baggage, and perhaps small
cameras strapped to their light vehicles.
But everyone to his or her taste, and the
mountains are lovely, anyway; but the
luxuries of the best. hotels are good enough
for me. Julia Dokb.

on each other's necks and each pats the
other on the back, then they shake hands,

California is that one can have seacoast and

freat city on the very brim of the water,
'ancy a seaside hotel with actud shade
about the grounds, so that one can enjoy the
supreme luxury and benefit of the season,
sitting in open air under pine boughs, which
give an infusion of sunlight without danger
of sunstroke. The ordinary hotel selects as
desert a spot as possible, intolerable with
out a sunshade on the piazzas, where the
overdressed throng are on evidence, and
glare of sunlight and blare of brass try the
nerves to the utmost
There is not even a merry-go-round at the
place I found, nor a toboggan slide, nor a
Sunday school convention. The music
plays seldom, and it is a string bond, which
makes content complete. If the table
equaled its other recommendations, the
hotel would be a prime favorite with people
who know what life is worth. But the cot
tony tablecloth, neither clean nor well
ironed, the black rimmed potato chunks in
the chowder, the yellow waiter, in a three
days' jacket, remind us not to expect per
fection here below.
ANALYZING A SEA BTnTHTTa
Is there anything more painful than a
fine hotel run down from bright and strict
order of service? To say that -the grounds
redeem the place even with such shortcom
ings will give an idea of its charm. It is
the place I have been looking for, where
there is absolutely nothing going on. Not
even the people, for they know when they
are well off, and come to stay.
An hour spent on the shore with the fresh,
steady breeze blowing from the Atlantic,
revives wasted strength as night dews and
shade lift the drooping lily. Just the cool
ness and absolute purity, the absence of mi
crobes, only 3 to 1,000 ports of sea air, and
that 'fine, curious infusion of iodine, bro
mine and' ozone, which give the positive
properties of ocean air iodine with its anti
septic touch on vitiated lungs and blood,
bromine to soothe tired nerves unutterably,
and the ozone which leaves yon akin to the
force and crispness of wave and breeze.
And these potencies are diluted almost in
finitely, in volumes of vapor which the sun
robs of superfluous moisture as it rises from
the sea. Only vapor with such slight med
ication of these invaluable things that it is
a wonder our hasty scientists do not deny
its power for good because it is so small in
absolute quantity. But they forget what
wonders nature works with i-fimteslmals.
A -WOMAN OF BBOAD CULTURE.
The wittiest of women is my companion,
one of those cosmopolites who favor us with
a glimpse of what the sex might be, and will
be with fuller culture and wider sympathies.
In her company I have never known what
it was to be dull or over stimulated, as with
your bright high pressure women, I don't
care whether mending tho heel of a stocking
or a lace ruffle, gossiping over a change of
chambermaids or historical parallels, she
would entertain a courtier with her discreet,
fine flavored flow of talk. She does not deny
being past 50 but her manner and her con
versation captivate men of all ages. For
her talk a Harvard youth in white flannel
will forget his tennis bat, and the polished
club man put off leaving till the later boat.
"You wish me to assist with answers to a
few of those letters in the basket which is
never less than full?" she says in our privi
leged corner of the porch where a camp
table with her embroidery and my letter
budget keep company. The piazza is de
serted, the world being strolling or sleeping,
and we'two never work in doors if we can
be out. "As you have only 250 there I
should think we might get through them by
Thanksgiving. Any slight assistance might
be tolerable in such a task."
MY LADY HAS SOBE FEET.
"I am afraid," writes one, "yon will
think my soul's burden trivial, but as the
smallest quantity of air will expand and
fill an empty space, so the smallest quan
tity of trouble will expand and fill a soul
devoid oi otner trouoie. is mera any
remedy for large joints on the feet?"
Bless met Does the woman consider that
a small trouble? I have known ladies who
could not sleep for the pain these large
joints give with the impossibility of getting
a well-fitting shoe. Why, Mrs." never
drives out (and she never goes out unless in
a carriage) but in slippers, which she drops
off under the rug as soon as she starts and
puts them on just before she alights. Those
feet are the reason she always wears long
skirts like a Spanish Queen, who, you
know, has no feet, for no one has ever seen
them.
People have. just learned to have a den
tist care for their children's teeth promptly,
and if they would have a chiropodist look
after their feet, as they do for the foot
soldiers in the army of tho Emperor Will
iam, ill-shaped feet would be unknown in a
generation or two. There is no help for it,
your friend must wear as large, soft, thin
shoes as she can find, ready to drop off her
feet, for a year or two, and treat those feet
pretty constantly. She must bathe them
in tepid water every night of her life, soak
ing them five or ten minutes, then paint
the large joints with a brush and tincture of
iodine every night and morning. If she
wishes she may use a small faradic battery,
applying one oi"the poles to the joints.
ELECTBICITY TOB THE TOILET.
My dear, the time comes when the small
battery will be as indispensable to a toilet
as it is to our door buttons. There is noth
ing hardly it will not serve. It will stimu
late the hair and keep it from losing color;
it kills superfluous hair sometimes, scatters
enlarged joints and rheumatics, aud it wiil
get up a color when and where wanted. Im
agine a lady opening the door of one of
these wall batteries, setting the index a fig
ure or two ahead, and putting the sponge
covered pole first to one cheek and then the
other a few minutes, which presently out
redden all voluptuous garden roses.
Pardon the breadth of expression, for it is
a quotation. You may have heard persons
of extreme propriety who object to the
epithet in polite society. I recall Lady
Blank saying, with great dignity and slow
ness, that voluptifbus was an expression
which no woman of any refinement could
possibly permit herself to use, and accord
ingly by the occult law of what you call
contrariness, I find myself using it when
ever it comes handy.

one's feet, and chiropodists and masseurs to
treat one for the endlcss'fatigue of the occa
sion. Not that I shall adventure myself in
reach of that eminent weariness, for that
Philadelphia Fair left me with a wholesome
dread of it. By the way, whether thejoints
are enlarged or not, nothing puts the feet in
nicer trim than soaking them in hot sea
water daily. I have a footbath brought
my room every night, and dabble my fee
in it comfortaoly five or ten minutes while
I read my novel. The novel takes the mind
offanvthing less agreeable, the bath draws
the blood from the brain, and leaves the
feet feeling rested and so elasticit, is a
pleasure to walk on them next morning.
"Why is it nobody takes special care of
the feet unless it is professed pedestrians,
walking to break a record? People never
seem to do anything for the love of it any
more. There must always be a competition
of some sort to get up an interest. A foot
that is well cared for will be higher in the
instep and have a lighter step through life.
This is a seasonable request: "Will you
tell me some remedy for perspiring hands?
I ruin a pair of gloves the first time I wear
them if it is the least warm."
THE SOBT OF GLOVES FOE SUMMEB.
Hundreds of women have the same
trouble. Beally, the only glove for sum
mer is the fine woven glove of linen lace
thread, which clings as a glove ought to,
and surpasses any sewed kid glove in fit.
Such gloves are exquisitely cool and elastic,
but you never see them this sidethe water,
though large hands look smaller in them
than in any other. Perspiring hands
should be washed very olean with warm or
hot water and fine soap, wiped dry and then
wet with a linen cloth dipped in weak alum
water. A teasnoonfnl of alum, dissolved in
a pint of boiling water and bottled when
cooi, win last a weeK. Liet tne aium water
dry on the hands without wiping, then pour
a little cologne on them, which is cooling
and dries in a minute, dust with talc pow
der thickly, and you will probably wear
your gloves a second time. There is a
lotion for this very pnrpose which corrects
the moisture of the hands and scents them
slightly, and it is worth its weight in
gloves, but I am sorry I can't give it to
you.
The girl with freckles wants, first of all,
to be careful what toilet soap she uses.
Strong soaps dispose the skin to freckle, tan
and grow hairy. Positively. Don't ask
why, for it is boon enough to know these
matters without knowing just why.
We can afford to learn reasons afterward.
SHE KNOWS FKOM SAD EXPERIENCE.
But I know, out on the wilderness in Mani
toba, where we could not get a laundress for
weeks, I washed my handkerchiefs and
stockings and things myself oh, I should
like to see the necessity I was not equal to
and my hands would freckle at once after
using laundry soap. I would bleach them
by washing the hacks with a tablespoonful
of chloride of lime in a pint of hot water,
used as soon as it settles clear( sponging the
skin till it whitens, and rinsing in water
acidulated with lemon juice or vinegar, and
keeping them white with cerate afterward.
It is easy enough to prevent freckles; not so
easy to cure them.
The girl with warts should get a bottle of
salicylic acid, 10 to 20 per cent strength, and
wet the warts every time she thinks of it
This will eat away common moles painlessly
with patience, and is harmless. You want
to take these things with you when you go
away for the summer. An ounce of salicylic
acid solution will last the season.
It is said by very good authorities that a
castor oil plant growing in a pot will keep
flies out of a room, and it is worth trying,
and preferable to fly poison. A room
filled with vapor of the aromatic germicides
will not invite mosquitos or flies. The
noxious odors it displaces draw flies of the
worst sort What an unutterable relief it
is this season to miss those same fearful
odors in railway waiting rooms and shops,
and get instead the clean scent of pine, mint
and eucalyptus in the purifying mixtures.
They are an improvement even on tar cam

Shoemaker, of Philadelphia, editor of two
or three medical magazines, says that chew
ing gum really is beneficial in no contempti
ble degree in that disease, it is probable the
habit will take its place with the use of
mint drops after the icecream at dinner, and
flain soda after that Nobody has any
usiness to affront humanity by chewing
gum before another, and nobody has any
right to object if gum is chewed in private.

FIFTEEN SHOTS FES SECOND.
A Wonderful Magazine Bills TThteh Was
Invented by a SXiner.
St Louis Globe-Democrat.
Very little has appeared in the papers
about a new rapid-firing gun which was re
cently invented by B. M. Catlin, a mine
superintendent of our town. This gun has
a Winchester band and stock, with a 15
repeating magazine in the stock. It is a
trifle heavier than the ordinary Winchester,
but its great feature is that the whole 15
shots may be fired in one second.
The shells are thrown out, and at the end
of the firing the gun is as clean as though
only a single cartridge had been exploded.
An instantaneous photo was taken' of the
gun in action, and while the exposure was
made five shells were in the air tossed out
by the inconceivable rapid working of the
gun. All that the man who does the shoot
ing has to do is to fill the chamber with
cartridges, cock the gun, and then pull the
trigger as many times as he wants to shoot.
The gun is accurate at .short or long range.
ETJSSIA ALMOST BANKRUPT.
The National Resources Aro Great, bat the
Policy Is to Squander Them.
I think the financial condition of Russia,
says Dr. F. H. Geffcken in the Forum, to bo
a most precarious one. Undoubtedly she
has great resources; so has Turkey, but
natural treasures are of no avail without
the human hand to turn them to the benefit
of the nation. As the French Finance Min
ister, Baron Louis, said to his colleagues:
"Give me a good policy and I will give you
good finances."
Bussia must reform her corrupt adminis
tration and her preposterous fiscal poliey:
she must abandon her aggressive external
policy, which constantly threatens peace, if
she wonts to inspire confidence in European
creditors. Until she does so, I would warn
every capitalist against investing his money
in loans which offer no real and lasting se
curity, and are mainly calculated to form a
fund against the interests of peace and
civilization,
HOW TO ADVERTISE.
Thousands of Dollars Wasted Because
of lack of Knowledge.
FITS OF ENTERPRISE DON'T PAT.
Tha Display Must Be Repeated Day After
Bay Only Different
A PLAN THAT WOULD BEDfG EESULTS
If some imbecile should me out of the
unthawed North to preach the business doe
trine ot continuous change of business base,
to advocate the periodical habitual removal
of store or office from one end of the city to
another, the business men would take him
gently by the hand, lead him out into na
ture's solitudes, to leave him there.
Yet this is precisely the logic practiced by
the merchant who advertises for a day, for
a week or for a month, to withdraw his ad
vertisements for the same period or for a
longer one. No business man of sense
would dream of closing his store every other
day or week, keeping closed in January and
open in February. No merchant would
think of discharging his best clerks in mid
summer because trade appeared to be
lighter. Every merchant knows that beyond
the little effervescence of novelty the longer
a man has been at a stated place the more
voluminous and solid is his business. Change
of location is never made except to meet
necessity. The average merchant would
rather build on the site of his success than
to move away from it, except in those cases
where the growth of the town demands loca
tive change. The same man, the same place
and tlie same general lino of goods enable,
the merchant to build up business wortn
having nnd worth teeping.
THE STEADY BOUITDrN'G DOES IT.
Experience has effectively shown that the
first appearance of any advertisement of
any advertiser seldom brings more than the
meanest kind of transient trade; the second
appearance generally does nothing mora
than to open to the reader excuse for atten
tion; tho third suggests business; the fourth
suggests more of it; the fifth is liable to im
press the reader that It may bo to his ad
vantage to consider the article advertised,
or more likely it sufficiently impresses him
with it that the memory of it may be re
called by subsequent advertising. It has
sown tho seed, but has not watered it. The
sixth appearance of tho advertisement Is
liable to be felt in the store where the goods
are for sale Then the advertisement begins
to tell. Of course, this refers more to the an
nouncements of new advertisers than to
older, ones, but the principle proportion
ately holds good.
The man who expects to get anything
save transient trade from his advertisement
within '24 hours from the time bis first ad
vertisement appears simply finds himself
mistaken. If advertising would bring im
mediate, definite and solid returns before
the paper was dry npon which It was
printed, I should not believe In advertising
beyond a few advertisements ot a transient
kind. The strength of advertising is in its
latent power, the value contained within it
if one be persistent and consistent
oaarnif o fob a dat is zxpexsot.
To take the advertisement out of a paper
Is simply to destroy a heavy proportion of
the preliminary education of the possible
customers who are beginning to rend It.
Many an advertiser has seen his advertis
ing fall to ironed flatness because he stopped
It at a critical period in Its life. The first
visit of anyone to a store generally results
in tne purcnase oi noining out inning ne
cessities. The first reading of an advertise
ment of a new advertiser impresses the
reader about as much as do the first notes
of music when the band is struck by light
ning three seconds after the fall of th9
baton.
Every-other-day or every-other-week ad
vertising may have about as much effect as
has the punishing of a child by one blow a
week until all of the allotted strikes have
been administered. An advertisement In
the paper to-day, out to-morrow, In the
next day, and out the day after that, fur
nishes excuse for not following It at all.
Many a person sees the Monday advertise
ment; forgets about It; thinks about it
Tuesday; looks for it then; the Monday
paper is lost; tbe Tuesday paper does not
contain it; he forgets It again; two forget
tlngs are sufficient Good, healthy seed has
been sown upon fertile ground to be raked
out before it has a cbanoe to root; even the
soil rebels at the second sowing; tbe ground
heals up; It has to be plowed again; plowing
is expensive.
GENERJ.L IiAW- OF APTKBTISPra,
It has been over and over again proven
that continuous advertising Is the only kind
of advertising which pays. General law Is
safer to follow than individual opinion. I do
not know of a solitary case where Intermit
tent advertising has brought any adequate
return compared with that whloh comes
from the advertisement which everlastingly
is pm iding away at the publlo day in and day
out, always witu Bumeium irenu m ic, me
business over In its accustomed place In the
advertising columns.
The claim made by some advertisers that
once-in-a-while advertising pays isimply
backed by the few cases where apparent
fact overshadows accepted principle. Ex
ceptions prove most rules. Exceptions ex
ist in this as well as in everything else. A
man may make more money sailing a rickety
ship laden with valuable cargo. The ship
may survive trip after trip: profit may pile
upon profit; the ship may go down empty;
but no sensible navigator sails a worn-out
vesael. Sot what can be made the wrong
way, but what can be made the right way
builds business.
People get as much acoustomedto location
In the paper as to location In the store. A
man can no more afford to be out of the
naner than he can afford to be out of his
store or out of his head.
THE ADTEBTISEMESX SSOTTID STJOOESX.
Many a woman does not know that she
wants more clothespins until the advertise
ment tolls her she does. The more ways an
advertisement appeals to her, tbe more like
ly she is to buy the goods advertised. A hat
advertisement of a week, wltn a different
hat billed every day, will put more hats on
heads than will any standing advertisement
of a month.
The conventional advertisement reading:
John Smith & Co.,
HATS,
No. i Hat avenue, Hatvllle,
occupying an obscure inch In the news
paper is worth something, but pays a mighty
small dividend on the investment. A man
may seo an inch advertisement; he may find
a needle in a feather bed if he be located in
that particular part of the bed.
Hats simply mean hats, and bave no influ
ence to bear upon the would-be hat buyer,
even if he should happen to see the adver
tlsHmnnt. The hat advertisement should
never be out of the paper, but it seldom
should be allowed to appear over three times
alike. Better never appear twice alike.

These advertisements rewritten, of conns,
to fit the particular case, aro liable to be
read for severa' reasons. First, they appeal
specifically to the Individual reader. Second,
they aro a sort of evolutionary blow npon
blow. Third, there are very few words in
them. A glance absorbs them in their en
tirety. Fourth, they are not crowdod. Fifth,
the same name in the same place, combining
permanency with the indispensable ad
vantage of alleged freshness.
These advertisements can occupy any
amount of space, but never should be set up
smaller than as given above. They wonla
look well on an entire pa;re. -They would be
extremely effective in space of half a double
column. Generally, the more space they
occupy, the more attractive they win be.
They admit of more words, If desired. In

Better bave too much space than too little.
Practice economy. There is sensible

Concerning the purchase of Uleotioawr

Mr. Stanford of Messenger Duroc. The

Mr. Stanford.
"Yes, $10,000." was the reply.
"Good enough," said the Senston, FH

And thus it was that Electioneer became
a member of the distinguished group of
horse aristocracy at the Palo Alto farm.
This in harmony with what Mr. Bobert
Bonner said in an interview in the Evening
Sun a few days ago, to the effeot that Sena

in a horse. "I breed horses for brains,"
was the way Mr. Bonner said he tersely put
his theory on the subject.
