Lampton. I! I! II "Why Is It," asks a shrewd writer, "that the young: woman who has led a secluded life and whose acquaintance with -men may be limited to her father and brothers, always has so many and such positive opinions concerning and adverse to the opposite sex? I believe It Is for the same reason that 'Evange list' Cairns reviled the stage so fear fullybecause he knew nothing at all about It. Why Is it that smooth faced lads Just out of knickerbockers, In their first term of knocking around, have bo gloriously exaggarated on Idea of girls' susceptibility? For the same reason. Because, like the greedy young robin, they gulp down the worm of credulity before their minds or experiences have grasped their own or the other sex na ture. When a young man waxes v,ol irble about girls' simplicity and gullible ' flessf when 'a-young wtirnan waxps (Wroth about the 'evil that men do,' we generally smile. And to those girls who have a deep-rooted 'abhorrence' of men. who never helleve in them, who would not marry th test man living and all that sort of stuff, let me say, Stop!' In talking like that you ex pose your own ignorance. You do both the men and yourselves an Injustice. X don't for- an Instant deny that there are heaps and armies of bad men men who. If their crimes against morality and virtue were discovered and pun ished, the world would be depopulated. But have you ever stopped to think of the thousands of men there are whose tola aim In life Is the providing of homo and comforts for their wives and chil dren? There are hosts of heroic men men who have not the time, like you, to waste upon berating the other sex, but who bend their engerles toward si lently refuting your thoughtless Impu tations. Of the young woman who has 'no use for men,' I .believe that there Is something radically wrong or that she Is either not competent or unwill ing to Judge. It's not a good thing for either sex to have too much to say about the other. II II I! IN CHILDHOOD: . Bhuffle-Shoon and Amber Lock ' Sit together building blocks; Shutfle-Shoon Is old and gray, Amber Locks a little child, But together at their play Age and youth are reconciled; And with sympathetic glee Build their castles fair to seo.

Here a window, there a door . ," Here a steeple wondrous tall Hlseth ever more and morel and the years have leveled low ' : ' What I builded long ago!" k they gossip at their play, . Heedless of the fleeting day; Ono speaks of the long ago, Where his dead hopes burled lie I ; One with chubby cheeks aglow, Prattleth of the by and by; tWde by side they build their blocks ' lhuffle-Bhoon and Amber Locks. . ' , " Eugene Field. ; H If II . A contributor to the New York Sun make an earnest plea-for greater gal lantry n bicycling. "Everyone knows," eaya she, "that a. helpless woman Is a nuisance; that men won't take her Ash ing, or on a shooting trip, and ithat It Is no new thing for them to admire sport ing quail ties in a feminine companion In pert. But there are a good many . things they like to do for women; and no man would let hla wife or any lady Jn his party do hard work, such as carrying canoes or cleaning guns. In bicycling, whether it Is the age, or the tendency or what It Is, there Is tier talnly nothing nke such oar shown to women In matters pertaining to strength or safety. To begin with, U la moat dangerous for girls, at any rate, to ride alone long distances In the coun try, and most of all after 4 ark. It la M unsafe as walking, for tramps have . not ceased their prowling s, and to stop bicycle Is easy. Yet men, with, curl--oui Indifference, or Ignorance, . appear W think that the presence of a bicycle protect a woman from barm. The danger U breaking down are constant and numerous, an to T miles from home, off railway or etreet car or cab routes, with a broken bicycle, after dark. Is an appalling contingency. Women ride constantly unattended, and far out of town; and this is as dan gerous as to ride, walk or drive, things young women carefully sheltered are never permitted to do." II II II ' GRIEF-CHASERS: "WelU old mam this Is the first time I've seen,. you-slntw your marriage. Allow me to cbnngratulate you." Thank,, dear fellow; thanks." "Hav you and your wife decided who is to be the speaker of the house?" "Well, no: we usually occupy the chair together." Pittsburg Chronicle. Employment Agent-"You did not stay long at that last place." Domestic "OI cudn't ethand thot wo man's Insultln' an' vulgur language." "In what way?" "Sho says, 'Kill th' coal hod,' Instead av 'plaae, will yh condlsciml to repllulsh-th' anthracite vase.' "New York Weekly. "You are of American Tory stock, are you not?" t "Yes. Rut how ever did you guess It?" "Oh, I knew your wife was a daughter of the revolution, and you have a hunted look." Judge. Miss Well along "I think I made quite a sensation In my antique costume at the levee last evening." Miss Marketmade 'Oh, decidedly. Ev erybody exclaimed, 'How appropriate.' " ltostou Transcript. Mrs. Dorcas-!-"Otir , League, of Eipancl-,. pated Women Is going to have a lecture on the soda) equality of the sex. You must be sure to come." Mrs. Cobwlgger "Certainly, my dar; I shall bring Mrs. Smith with me, as she be lieves in social equality." Mrs. Dorcas "Not for the world. You know she isn't la our set." Judge. II II II ' "The unwritten laiw appears to ex ist," this writer continues, "that In. rid ing the bicycle, each person, man or woman, shall attend strictly to himself or herself. Cut the result of the law Is that timid -women are frightened to death when they needn't be, and suffer superfluously when they first go out. I knew a woman who practiced mount ing for a week, growing more and more nervous every time she tried, because she was going out with a party, and her hus-band had told her she could not go unless she could mount herself. It is convenient to know how, it Is true; but that It should be necessary, with a party containing men, shows the real state of the case. Wheels are heavy things to handle In taking them in and out of doors, and awkward as well. But a woman gets her own, drags it along, hits herself In the shins with the pedal, and nearly breaks her back get tlr.'g the thing down steps, before start ing. It is the custom. (But In no other sport does she hove to lug about her Implements unaided. What would a man think of himself If lie let a lady bend under the weight of a bag of golf cluhs for twenty feet? A lady does not lead her own horse to the stable when she dismounts at the club, but she has to tug her owrni wheel, and put it away, at all the bicycle clubs. Yes, and tug it out and up and round again, when the time comes to start for home. No man, hired or otherwise, thinks of do ing It for her. She never has to carry oars, however, either going or coming from rowing. What is the difference?" II II il SOMETHING WORSE: "I'll never chew tobacco," Said little Robert Reed: "I'll never soli my lips with It; It Is a filthy weed." And Robert kept his promise, And yet his mother frets; Ho never touched tobacco, But he does smoke cigarettes. Somervillo Journal. II II II ACCOMMODATING: "Madam," said the tramp, addressing the benevolent-appearing woman In the doorway, "could you give me a bit of cold meat?" "Haven't a bit In the house," she re plied. "Bread and butter would do." "Haven't any." "Piece of pie?" "No we're Just out of everything." "Then have you got a basket?" "Yes," the woman said, with some cu riosity In her tone.- "What do you want of a basket?" "Well, madam, I thought I'd take It around and collect something for you to eat." Chicago Times-Herald. II II I! HOUSEHOLD HELPS: If you heat your knife you can cut hot bread as smoothly as cold. A- little flour dredged over the top of a cake will keep the icing from running. The white of an egg, with a little sugar and water. Is good for a child with an Irritable stomach.

Coarse, stiff braid, used to bind the hot- torn 01 ureases, will rot tho shoes and make them look shabby In a short eim 80ft, finely-finished braids, although cost ing more, are oistinotly more economical since they not only wear longer than the coarser Kinas, nut do not Injure the shoe The very best way to wash mirrors or wnuow glass is to sponge the surface with alcohol and dust it with whltlna- and finally polish It off wtth a chamois skin or soft cotton cloth.

A simple little device to take the place of the washerwoman's knuckles is an English idea which may be brought to this country. It -consists, of two corru gated rollers mounted on brass and fur nished wlith a handle, and It 1s intended Id supersede washing by hand, which method It 'most resembles. The principle em ployed 1s that of simple pressure, used in conjunction with an ordinary washing board, and It Is claimed that not only does the appliance effect Its purpose with ex treme rapidity, not to be attained by hand, and without the wear of the ma terials treated which that method occa sions, but also that by this means either laces, muslins and linen blunkets and the coarsest garments can be dealt with with cquul readiness.

II II II HEALTH HINTS: Here 1a a sure cure for warts: Touch each wart once with acid nitrate of mer curybe careful that none of the drug comes n contact with the skin. Tincture of the chloride of Iron In 20 drop doses (In half a glass of water) after meals la a good medicine for one affected with disease of the kidneys end backache therefrom. J Instant incision Is the first thing to be done to a felon, This, of course, can only be done by a physician. Poulticing Is waste of time cutting relieves the pain and tension, and if done at the beginning of the troublo prevents pus formation. Not to cut means perhaps death of tho bone. The art of breathing is becoming moro and mora a subject of attention. Physi cians have cured aggravated cases of In somnia by long-drawn, regular' breaths, fever patients have been quieted, stub born forms of indigestion made to disap pear and a tendency to consumption may bo overcome. Seaslcknes, too, may be surmounted. The cause of boils is now held to be the penetration of the skin by a microbe known as the staphylococcus aureus, and, hence, the treatment should be one which kills these microbes. The old-fahtoned linseed poultice does not kill the staphy lococci burrowing into and poisoning the flesh, but it helps them to multiply and to do their mischievous work. In mild bolls tincture of iodine may be applied with good effect, or a compress of gauzo, soak;d in a solution of sublimate heated to a temperature of 125 degrees, Often, spraying a painful boll with a 2 per cent. solution of carbolic, acid works extraordin ary cure. To evacuate tho pus In bolls, this remedy has been recommended: "A dose of bcer-yast; two or three table- spoonfuls mixed with a glass of beer and taken at meal time." It can do no harm, and Is reported to do Its work rapidly. Spotted acne consists In the stoppage of passages of certain -mdnute glands by the secretions of the latter, and makes Itself manifest by black spots which stud tho skin, especially of the face. The black ness Is caused by the dirt accumulating on the exterior of the core of matter. In persons subject to this complaint the skin of the parte generally attacked must be once dally searched for the appearance of the spots. When found the pores must be pressed out, and the part bathed with cold water. They are sometimes found In extraordinary numbers on the nose. In this situation they may be squeezed out wctn a blunt flat Instrument, pressed ngnxiy arouna tne surface of the flesh. Lotions are often advertised to remove these grubs, and' the latter have been stated by the advertisers to be living or IganUrns. All this Is a (delusion. The grubs are mere collections of debris and cast oft cells and they cannot be removed by other than mechanical' means. What the said lotions really do Is sometimes nothing at all. To whiten their external extremities and to prevent their being no ticed, a little glycerine or oil rubbed Into the skin or previous washing In hot .water. will soften the secretion and allow It to be more easily removed. The formation of the cores or grubs may be prevented by washing the face once dally in warm water, and afterward pressing the towel wrapped around the finger firmly against .tne parts most frequently attacked. . An redness after this simple operation may be entirely obviated by using glycerine, one part, and prepared chalk, on part, of which a very small portion will suf fice. . ......

Ill All Her Life Happy Release at Last of Mist Alice Young, Who Re sides at 302 Alexander Street, Rochester, N. Y. (From the Rochester Democrat and Chron icle.) Our representative was received very pleasantly at 392 Alexander street, by Miss Alice Young, who told how since childhood she had been held In the bondage of pain from her back, never remembering the time that she had not suffered pain or aches In the region of the kidneys.
