With a clear conscience ami a rob list constitution, it is impossible tor a man to toau gleepless- ly on his bed. But that morning I awoke suddenly two honrs before my ac customed time, and felt so wide awake that I thought it must certainly be 7 o'clock at the latest. I pulled aside the curtains of my berth, and held my watch under the ifhtnmering lixht. It was only 5'. I shook it, looked again at it, and eUr.ced up end down the car. No one was stirring, not even the porter in tighr. I pulled my head in aptin, shivered a little, turned over and tried to go to sleep, but the pillows seemed out of shape, and I could not comfortably ar range them. The covering would not adjust itself to me, and, after trying to keep my eyes shut a few minutes, I at last gave it np and rolled np the certain. The air outside looked keen and snap ping. The ground, with its covering of snow, sparkled as if some prodigal hand had scattered diamonds in profusion everywhere. The moon was low, but seemed to be lingering for one last look on so lieautiful a landscape. Away ahead I could occasionally catch glimpses of the engine as she rounded the curves, -overed with clouds of steam that fell backjover herduskv form like a mantle of eider. She held her nose over thegiitter ing path, with its two parallel lines run ning on into infinity, like a hound on the trail, while the light on her forehead darted Hasties like a meteor. On we (lew. The low rumble and swaying mo tion of the car on its springs betokened our Fpeed. I lay back on my pillow, thanking for tune that I was in comfortable juarters, and not breathing the frosty air, as the men on tbe engine. As dawn appeared I pulled up the curta:n at the toot of the berth, piled the pillows under my head, making my position a eerai-reclining one and watched the effect of the bright streaks of crimson which were now shooting over the hills and making the shadows in the valley disappear. On entering the car the evening before, as tar as I could notice, the apartments were nearly all filled. Sinr this, I gave my valise and coat to the porter, en tering the smoking apartment, and did not leave it until late so late in fact that it was almost impossible to find my lierth, owing to the poor light and the uniformity of the make up of berths. I now noticed as I raised the lower curtain, in the half light of morning that filled my apartment, a white object at the upper inside corner of the berth, to w hich 1 at first gave no attention, think ing, as I remember now, that it was the cornet of the sheet that covered the berth above uie. At one time I saw it move, but the movement was so unnatural for an inanimate object that it gave me a slight start. As the light increased I found my attention was all the more keenly riveted on this white object in the corner. I saw it move second time and by decrees it began to take shape. I now discovered that it was a hand, but hether a large or a small one, a man's or a woman's, I could not discern. I was pleased at making the one discovery a little more daylight would tell what kind of a band it was and give me some idea of its owner. I found out aa my vision became plain er that it was small, probably a child' ami nut large enough for a man's. A slight movement of the hand betrayed a beautiful solitaire ring encircling the third finger. My interest very percep tibly increased. I thought I was too old to be interested in such things. When a man looks back over a stretch of thirty years, and can honestly confess that such trivial things as being interested seriously in woman 'a heart never troub eld him, he should not eonit-as that in the secondary consideration he should be omer SOMERSET, PA., taken so completely unaware by woman' hand. I wished my bed had been made np the other way, then I would be directly nnder the little hand anil could study it, from a distance, to be sure, but more minutely. The light grew in volume, but not fast enough to suit my impatience. I watch ed the hand as it hung there, limp and motionless, with increasing interest I was fearful every moment it might be withdrawn, I sat up in my berth, bnt my view was not insufficiently compen sated. I kissed my pillow to the other end of the berth and changed my posi tion. A closer view of the hand showed me lIso a wee bit of well rounded wrist protruding from a black sleeve trimmed with lace. Tbe hand was a beautiful one, small, pearly white, and looked as soft as a baby's. Tbe veins were marked only the faintest under the most trans parent skin. The nails were beautiful, well rounded, daintily kept and polished. My inuisitiveness would not stop where the hand left off. I was not now satisfied with the closer inspection I had obtained, but wanted to know if the owner of the hand was as comely in per son as the little sample I had of her led me to believe was the case. I argued that such a white skin must belong to a fair complexioned lady ; a brunette's w ould be creamy in color. I, of course, wondered how old she was, I coul 1 not j see a wrinkle ; she must be vo.iug. Was site married or single? I never gave much of my attention to ring fashions, but I knew that a young lady was at least engaged if she wore a ring on her first finger. It gave me pleasure to know the ring did nut betoken a sweetheart. Hail the ring been placed on the second finger she must have been a married lady ; but then, if married, where was the plain band wedding ring? It was wanting. The ring being on the third finger tlid not argue anything. I next tried lo recall all that I had ever heard in regard to palmistry. I had giv en the matter some little attention years before and could nly recall the cardinal signs. The hand was partly cloned ; this was against me, but by twisting my neck I found the hand was clearly marked with dainty lines, which I could see but indistinctly. The line that is first consid ered is the line running around ami en circling the base of the thumb, called the vital line, if I rememlier correctly. The line was so marked that it betoken ed a gixvl constitution and a fair lease of life. Its course was nearer the base of the thumb than is usual, showing her to be of a warm, confiding naturejtirm but sympathetic Some other lines showed a lovs of in dependence and sound judgement ; oth ers a coquettish, roguish nature; others that she was tender of others' feelings. This much I found : That I was uncon sciously taking as much interest in the 'tale of the hand " as if I expected my own hand to be crossed with a silver piece when I had finished the exami nation. A few markings in the centre of the hand I desired to ote that the half light in the apartment did not re veal. I never knew how it happened, but can only remember that I was so earnest in my endeavor to trace out those marking that I forgot the hand belonged to any one forgot where I was, or the situation, and turned the hand around to the light. IL I noticed that my story was not much appreciated by my audience. This was made very evident by an occasional yawn from some of the members of the party, or from their changing their positions occasionally. I did not desire to bore them with a story that I myself thought insipid, and as I closed the last sentence, said : " I see you are not interested, and we are all tired ; let us postpone the balance of the story until to-morrow night." " No, no ; go on !" said Madge. " It is just beginning to get interesting. What did she do when you caught hold of her hand ?" III. The moment my band came in contact w ith the hand from alxve I realized my mistake. The hand was suddenly with- Irawn. An overwhelming sense of my folly came over roe. I would apologize, but hew ? I could not say it was an acci dent, because I had taken hold of the hand deliberately. Had I merely touch ed it that would have been another mat ter. I li 1 hope at that moment that a collision would happen, that in the tin- roar I could drop out into the snow un observed. With a feeling somewhat akin to criminal I dressed quickly, secured my valise and coat and placed them in a seat not occupied further up the car, and then went, into the wash-room. Not until I reached it did I feel secure. I plunged my .burning face into the cold water, which animated me a little. As I gather ed my scattered forces while completing my morning toilet I smiled at my sudden trepidation. I had not been seen ; why not go back, and from another seat see if the owner of the hand was as comely as I had pictured her? There were twenty other persons in the car ; how could she distinguish me from the others ? I went back into the car and took a seat near my own berth and waited pa tiently for the ocenpantof upper" seven" to inbke her appearance. After a lapse of time that seemed hours, while in real ity it may have been twenty minutes, I saw tbe porter approach the berth with a ladder and immediately a girlish head protruded from the curtains with a half frightened expression on her face. What I expected from so beautiful a hand was more than realized. The face was beau tifullarge, lustrous eyes, a beautiful complexion and a well formed head, crowned with a luxuriant growth of au burn hair. As the curtain parted and she stood for an instant, not quite deter mined which way to go, I caught her full ! outline. She was medium in size, grace ful in every movement, and wss clothed in a warm colored fabric which height ened the color of her complexion. As she passed ma I imagined I caught a lit tle roguish twinkk in her eye, but that may Have been only my imagination. I waited patiently for her return, but my station, Hudson, was called ere she came back, and I reluctantly got off. Tbe beautiful little town nestled so qui etly under the lee of the hills, with the great black St. Croix bathing its feet, is as beautifal in winter as in the summer months. A I left the car and stepped into set EST A "BIYTSFTRD 1837. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9. 1888. the cold, invigorating air, I could not but admire the quiet tranquility that reigned evefy where. The blue smoke was curl ing upward from a number of white cot tage chimneys that betokened warmth, peace and plenty inside. I dropped my valise at the depot and walked aimiely down the high grade approach of tbe im mense bridge. I indulged in some air castle building that was the nearest ap proach to sentimentalUm that had occu pied my thoughts for many a day. The long train, now rambling along the far ther end of the bridge, and so far distant that it resembled a toy train of cars, con tained a Ci'e and form that had awaken ed new desires in me. A little white cottage in sotue quiet place like this, a wife, and mayhap a little toddler at my knee but nonsense ! I started back at a rapid rate, breakfasted, finished my busi ness, and took the next train for St. Paul. It was the time of the ice carnival, and such a throng of "people, in outlandish costumes. At niirlit the citv was eavlv illuminated with myriads of electric lights and its streets tilled with noisy, rollicking, gayly dressed crowds. I hur ried through my business, which kept me occupied for several days, and then, being alone and having no personal ac quaintances in the city, did as the rest did bought a blanket suit and a tasseled cap and followed the crowd. I was not willing to admit then, even to myself, why I stayed, as ! took no particular in terest in tobogganing, or freezing myself standing on the corner watching the va rious carnival companies in their pa rades. But yoa can guess it. Ou the third day I was rewarded. I was com ing dow n Third street ; the sidewalk was filled with pedestrians, while the street was in continual jingle of passing sleighs loaded with happy jieople. One turnout that attracted my attention was remarka bly fine. ' Three large horses were hitched abreast a semicircle of plumes over the central horse, while the others were nearly cov ered with bells. The heavy harnesses were trapped with silver. The sleigh was low and broad, Ridden with robes, while the driver, on a high seat in front, was costumed like a Corxack. There were two occupants besides the driver an old gen tleman and a lady. The gentleman was so closely Bin tiled that he wasalmost un recognizable, hut the hsily was the one that had occupied " upper " seven. She saw me, I think, before I recognized her. As the sleigh passed me and was reced ing she pulled her mittened hand from her muff and held it up, palm toward me for an instant, behind the old gentleman, and seemingly trying to avoid being seen by others, or the old gentleman himself. There was a most tantalizing and be witching expression on her face as she did this. In an instant the face was gone. To say that I was dumbfounded at her action would hardly be expressing my feelings. That she knew or divined my effortsat palmistry in the car was certain from her action. That she was amused at my nonplussed expression was evident from the suppressed mirth, fun, railery and blushes which followed like quick ripples over her face. To my embarrass ment she had turned the tables on me. The twinkle that I thought I saw in her eyes as she passed me that morning in the car was not a supposition. It was a reality. I made my way to my hotel and took the first train for home. On my way to the depot I was afraid to look into a wo man's face, fearful that it would be she, and that some new phase of the matter might reveal itself that I knew nothing of or did not expect. The matter puzzled me for a long time, but I never could come to any real opinion of how she ob tained the knowledge of my efforts at palmistry. IV. When I entered Mme. Y.'s residence the night of the famous reception, unat tended, the house was ablaze w ith light. The parlors and halls were crowded with guests, while the dancers in the salon were making muscular efforts to keep in motion, though nearly futile for want of space. My acquaintance was limited and after disrsising of my wraps, I was hap py that such was the case. I could get into a corner somewhere and watch what was going on unobserved. I had scarce ly reached the low er landing w hen I was confronted by an old classmate whom I had not seen for vears. His delight at meeting me was not assumed, and noth ing would do but that I must make the rounds with hiin. Almost before I was aware of it I was filling my card with names. I sjient a most enjoyable evenicir. I closed my last number and was standing in the conservatory, which oj-eued from the drawing-room, talking with Brown, my old college chum, when my attention was attracted to a graceful figure standing at the further end of the drawing-room conversing with an elderly gentleman. Occasionally she would look in our direc tion, artlessly shading her eyes with her hand to get a better view of us. There was something familiar to me in the fig ure of both the gentleman and the young lady. I probably stared so earnestly that Brown, noting my lack of attention, turned, and seeing the object that attract ed me, said : " That's the princess, Jim. They have come in late, and that is her father, Sena tor X, Come along. I'il introduce you." I tried to remonstrate, but it was useless. The minute I saw her face, unaffected by the blaze of light, I recognized her. Iam not usually timid, but I never felt so ill at ease or awkward as I did at that time. She saw my embarrassment, and only added to it by saying: " Yes, Mr. Brown, Mr. Paly comes very near being an old friend ; so much so, in fact, that we should shake hands." And as she said this she coquetishly thrust forward the little gloved hand which I clasped with a vigor that was quite ennecessary. The conversation branched off into various channels. I stumbled along, and wished I could get away from those eyes. Finding that Brown was in (he middle of a conversa tion with the Senator I told her I bad something to tell her, and she very cor dially took my arm and we wandered back to the conservatory, now quite de serted. I then explained tbe ridiculous experience of the sleeping car how I was led into it, and my succeeding rude pesa when I thought I was not known. She laughed heartily, and said the occur rence bad often been amusingly thought ot She explained that in her sleep her arm hint fallen over the side of the berth and she was awadened by a feeling of numbness in ber band, owing to the por sition her arm was held in for sr long. She had no idea her hand extended be low the line of the upper berth. Her at tention was further attracted by a low voice in the berth beneath, and ou look ing down had seen the head of a rather " prepossessing looking gentleman," as she put it, inclose proximity to her hand and seemingly studying it very minute ly. She knew at once what his motive was, and still more so, because the gen tleman was talking either to himself or to some one in tbe berth with him. (I have been told before that I was in the habit of talking to myself. It only con firmed me of the uselcssness of trying to throw off bachelorhood.) On pressing her to know what it was I said, she re plied that she had only caught enough of the conversation to hear him speaking of the" Vital line," the "Lineoftruth,"and soon. She also said sle caught the ex pression of earnest endeavor on his face, and knew that the accident happened unintentionally. AVhen seeing me again in SL Paul she could not refrain from giving me to un derstand she knew all about it, and beg ged that I would forgive her rudeness and make allowance fora little breach of etiquette, because it waa " carnival time." Further conversation was interrupted by the approach of Brow n and Senator X. The Senator said : " I am looking for a man by your name Paly. I noticed by the papers he was in Washington a few days ago. He is hcYe to introduce a new piece of ordinance he has patented. I did want to see him. j I have an idea of my ow n that will jr- j feet this machine, 1 think."' " Why, Jim, that is you," said Brjw n. " Senator, this is Paly." i "Well jmt the man I wanted! Mr. J Paly, your patent I have seen the draw- 1 ings is lacking in this, that the " j " Now. papa, do not commence talking , gnn to Mr. Paly. You will never know j when to stop. Let me suggest that Mr. j Paly call." ' j Yes, dear, yon are right, and it is late j too bat Mr. Paly, can you not join us at breakfast? We will be alone, wiil we not, dear? " Breakfasts are too conventional, papn, and irhaps it would be inconven ient for Mr. Paly to breakfast at our hour let r.ie sujrgest dinner. Yoa will come, Mr. Paly, and also, Mr. Brown?" Brown pleaded an engagement, but I accepted. " Yes dinner that is better," said tlie Senator. "I will in the meantime get my ideas on paper about the gun, Paly ; and come early. We dine at 7." And giving his number for his carriage, they bade us good night. That night, just before we parted, Brown said, abruptly : " So you and the princess are old friends Jim?" " flow does she come by that name?" "Oh, that is the name she is known by among her gentlemen friends, ami that is the name given her by the papers here. She is so well liked and is such a regal looking beauty did you ever see such eyes and hair? She reminds me Her eyes -rere blue, and such a pair. No star in heaven was ever brighter ; Iter k'u was most divinely fair ; I neversaw ashoulder wbiter, And there was something in her form Juste en bon pointe. t think they term it That really was enonah to warm The icy bosom of a hermit. " She has more admirers than any other women in Washin-iton, and treats us all about the same, but she is still 'heart and fancy free.' " Then you are an admirer, I should take it?" " Yes, I was one of them, but now I admire from a distance. Where did you meet her, Jim ? You did not seem a bit impressed with her cordiality." "Oh, it was only a casual accipiaint ance some time back." "Eh, ha! Oood night?" And Brown left me. I sauntered slowly toward my lodgings. The bright moonlight and ntter quiet were restful. The cigar I smoked was a I good one. but my mind was so busy in ! recalling her every word anil expression tluringotirsliort conversation that it went out half a dozen times. I was restless that night. I closed my eyes and could see the little w hite had as I first saw it in the half light of early morning in my berth. I could see it in its little silk mit ten, held up toward me from the sleigh. I could feel it, with its gloved waraith, lying careletly in mine, and then, as I gradually became unconscious, ii seemed to hang over me, and as I wculd grasp j it, it would vanish just out of my reach. I, too, was becoming one of the "princess- admirers. The dinner next evening was ? charm ing experience just her father and her self. Her father, the Senator, was, I found, an old friend of my father's in theiryounger days. When we arose from the table and the Senator left the way into the library, or his den, as he termed it, she begged to be allowed to follow us, and over perplexing details and seem-ng-ly uninteresting designs to her, we spent the evening. In comment on an idea of hers that explained a certain perplexity we were worrying over, her father said : " Well, now, daughter, you know more about guns than either of us. You see, Mr. Paly, it's hereditary." Before I left she sang several charming little ballads, " favorites of pupa's," she said, and I went back to my i slgings in leave with the " princess." The next day and the next saw me at the Senator's. Occasionally I would catch glimpses of Cassie as she flitted past or through the library, where the Senator and myself were busily engaged over our drawings. Sometimes she would stop and listen to our discussions. It was then that designs, ideas and details would vanish and leave me in such an absent minded state that it would be some min utes after she had left us before I could again collect myself enough to proceed. Much to my pleasure I found that my work was being lengthened oat beyond al I my former calculations. After ray plans had been placed on file I bad no reason able excuse for staying. The last even ing in Washington I called, with tbe full intention of telling Cassie some things her ear alone should bear. I found my self in semi-reception when I reached the Senator', and had only a few minutes eralcl with her to say good by. The Senator said he was sorry to lose me, as I had been the only sociable friend of the win ter. I he.trd from the Senator occasionally during the following summer on business topics, and he would generally speak of his daughter, but only as to her health or j some such matter. In the following Sep- j tern ber I saw a newpaperannouncenient j of the engagement of Miss X, daughter j r - . a.- , , . r - . . oi .-"enaior .v. of .-"c. i am, u Ljeutena c S. A. Sumner, t. S. X. It made me shiver a little. I laid down the paper, and through the curling smoke of my pipe saw a slender white hand form it self and gradually grow dim and vanish the shadows beyond the range of my lamp. I chided myself that I had let my love lie dormant all this time, and had not even made a fair race for that which I desired above ail things. Now it was out of mv reach. The latter part of the next January ! found me aiiain at SL Paul during the I carnival. The day after my arrival, on returning to the hotel for dinner I found a note from Senator X., saying he had seen an announcement in the ViVw, of my arrival, and insisted that I should have my things sent up to his house and make his home my own during my atay, anil further explaining that they had been home for some weeks rnd would not asain return to Washington that season. I called that afternoon and was met by Cassie, who had been apprised by her father of his invitation. She seemed em barrassed at onr first greeting, but it soon wore away, and I found her even more beautiful and kind than ever before. When the Senator arrived he seemed de lighted to see me, and at dinner was in one of his merriest moods. That evening a few of their friends came in and Cassie sang for us. Late that niirlit the S-nat.T and myself talked over the ordinance bill that had passed the previous spring so favorably to my -self, and planning new moves necessary fi r its "onera! introduc tion into tlie r.aty. That suggested a matter of painful recollection to me, an.l I said : " I saw an announcement last fall. Sen ator, that you were to have a member of our navy a son-in-iaw." " Where did you hear that ? Yoa mean Sumner ? No, that was only a little new s paper gossip." I could have hugged the old gentleman. I mentioned that that was w here I Lad seen it in some newspaper. " No, I "lily, the right man has not come along yet. She is a jewel for some man, but since her mother's death thethought of her leaving me is painful, hut, sooner or later, it is bound to come." The follwing afternoon a sleigh ride was proposed by Cassie. The Senator had said at lunch that he would not be back until late. )n entering the sleigh I noticed it b be the same one that I had seen on that memorable occasion the year before. Our ride was deiighful in itself, but I think were both ill at ease. By some lucky intu'tion we again passed the spot where I had first seen the sleigh and the little? mittened hand thrust out before me. Olancing nervously at Cassie I noticed a slight tinge of crimson on her face. She laid her hand coyly on my arm and the tinge deepened as she said : " It was here I treated you very unkind ly a year ago." " You held it toward me then and now, darling, will you not give it to me to keep forever? ' And. as I elapsed the little hand in mine, it lay there a willing prisoner, and her tears told me a story far more delic ious than I ever wildly dreamed of. Our readers have doubtless often no ticed that I local's Sarsaparilla is well spoken of in the newspapers. The press, is quick to recognize merit and does not hesitate to give praise where it due. The following is from the i7!frfV Wflrfy, a leading religious paper : " Advertising may bring an article prominently before the public, but no advertising can long help it if it has not real merit. Hood's J-arsapariila is well advertised ; but the best proof of its val ue is that so many per ns use it on the recommendations of friends who havw proved its peculiar virtues. Some Political Axioms. A Protectionist is a revenue reformer who proposes first to take off the inter nal revenue taxes and to bring the liov ernment back to the sources of revenue which were relied on previous to the civil war; and after that he would revise the tariff, always with the principle of protection uppermost. A Free-trader is a revenue reformer who proposes first of all to reduce the tariff duties on foreign goods and to main tain the internal revenue taxes untouch ed. The revision of the tariff he would put through with the principle of Free Trade with foreign nations uppermost. By steadily pursuing this policy, all strict ly protective duties would be swept away in the course of about twenty years, ami the country brought snbstantiaiiy to in ternal taxation and its permanent mode of revenue. This wold be equivalent to Free-Trade. The men who claims to b; a Protection ist and yet proposes to maintain the in ternal revenue taxes nnclianged, and to begin revenue reform by smashing the tariff.iseither under a delusion himself re garding his own opinions, or is seeking t delude others. The man who ciaims to be a free-trader, yet proposes before making any change in the tariff to first reduce the in terna! revenue taxes, is a sort of man we have never seen ; and of his existence there is at yet no evidence. It is just as well that the- distinctions should be understood exactly as they are. There is no use in any false pretence or misleading representation alsnut the sub ject. .v. r. sin r-,.

But it U suprising how .iwar, been looked noon as one of it ! often, given the opportunity, the talk of fat men runs to flirtation or to food. OfJ Aithonh personally directing- the man conrse I don't mean to say that a fat man ! .nt of property worth not less, always talks of various dishes any more j lhsn 51 Miss tiarrett ia almost than that his conversation with a woman : usually includes an offer of marriage. On the contrary, perhaps, knowing bis own j weakness, he is more chary of his propoa- j a:s than are his leaner brethern ; br the : ' sa:iie token he does) not openly discourse j on food, but he will amble off gent'y in its direction. He wiil tell you of the dining places in every continental citv he has visited, or remarks, on the w-etehed cooking here, the insufficiency of service there. Per haps he w ill tell you of his grat-e or the size of his ru.-iimliers. though grapes and cucumliers are not much in his way. He Sometimes prides himself on his cellar, but he will oftener know the ingredients of an out of the way curry, or have at his tingi-rs' ends the names of places where you can gi t choice and cunons dishes. So in talking to women his conversa tion runs to little compliments, and a semblance of love making; he talks of marriage, hedges round it, and smiles and looks np to see if they are pleased. When he s-ieaks of women it is from the old fashioned point of view that he considers ! them, for he is too fat, hurry on and catch tip advanced ideas. A woman, he thinks, should be pretty, irreverent, saucy, and given to smiling and blushing. It is by a blush or a smile ti.at men of his tvp? are caught. She has no business u know anything about bjks. except in a super ficial manner that will er.aMe her to talk for live minutes only of poetry and novels). She should especially know nothing of politics. He do not like women with ideas of their own; they onght to take them distilled and diluted from men in general and their husbands in particular. ) When a woman is married she should j concern herself with her home and chil- j (Iron .juite trie), and as for intellectual interests nonsense! No man wants to j talk seriously w ith a woman. She should : know lier puce and keep in it. Home is j fir women, and the world fr men;' clothes and children for women, books : and politics for men. At a dinner party or i u company women should no more I presume to express opinions on questions of the day than should men about bon- j nejs, and if they attempt to do so it is tin; duty of all sensible men to snub them. I have frequently noticed another curi ous trait; it is that after the first few indulgent minutes he diverts his conver sation to his own sex, and will almost ignore mine, even in a party of half a dozen, for as a rule g enl brewing is not his strong point. There are exceptions, of course, and I have known some charm ing ones. I am only speaking of the ma jority. If I were a girl I would pray Heaven to save me from a fat man. Well it has. Many fat men have made love, or tried to make love to me, but comparatively few have come to the point. Your fat man is cautious, and does not commit himself to a direct offer unless he U cer tain that he means it, and is equally cer tain that he w i'l be accepted. As a rule he is certain of the hitter, for modesty is not his besetting virtues; besides, he is of type the that thinksall women are sigh ing for matrimony, longing f ir it as the one grand trout of their lives, and of a refusal it is difficult to make him 1-elieve f nrally there is great competition to stiti the reality. f.it'y Liivbri,!u TmipL1 Bir. ! ply these. Bids have been received from Mental Effect of Hot Weather. One of the most interesting studies bearing upon this subj-ct 'of the relation of mind to matter) is found in oliserving the effects of a high temperature upon different org-.inijitions. Tlie nervous, sensitive, eg itistic man, when the ther mometer ranges among the nineties, is chiefly intent npon publishing his per petual discomfort. Instead of sitting still and cooling his mind through work or general diversion, he moves busily about telling every b sly how hot it is, with ges ture and ejaculations to match. He is a mental radiator, bent upon transmitting his own conditions to other mi mis, and, without inten ling it. is generating hi own discomfort within others. On the other bund, the man of even temperament, of nail mind, avoids all mention of physical and thermal condi tion on a hot .lay. His purixise is to get his mind as far away from them as possi ble. He hears his nervous friend fling down bis jn or spade and declare it is too hot for work. To him congenial work is tl.o very best means of keeping his at tention away from physical discomfort. One feels comparatively cool in this man's presence. He is a partial refriger ator and transmits bis ow n conditions. The mere physi'-al temperature of a man on a hot day is nt the measure of disc-Min fort. It tiii busv season hun dreds of New England farmer toil in open field in the hot sun in such excess ive perspiration that hardly a dry thread is found on them through the day. But if one is accosted on the roadside and re minded that it is a terribly hot day, he will generally reply with true Yankee drollery that it is splendid weather for corn. The farmer's mind is on the hay and corn crops instead of the heat. His mind is kept cool by congenial labor and the promise of g xl crops. Y hut us true of man is true of beast. One of the tix t painful sight to a per son of kind heart is to see tlie distress of horses that pull the street cars on a scorching day. These animals receive the best care and treatment by the compan ies, and their muscular strength is not overtaxed so far as mere work is concern ed. A horse doing the same work on a country road wonld not perspire much. It is tiie tremendous strain upon their nerves caused by constant fear of losing their feet on th- smooth pavement when starting the car that chiefly induces their sweat and aemi-torture. Even with a horse it is the condition of mind that largely deci.les its power to endure heat and work. ltrtA fili. Are yon weak and weary, overworked and tired ?

"Miss Mary Garrett, the daughter of the founder of the Baltimore and Ohio liailroad system, is an extraordinary wo man," said a gentleman well acquainted with the facta, "ami, bnt that lh ia a woman, would to-day b president of tbe road." M'.aa Garrett has never obtruded her individjality in the management of the great property which her father left at hi death, bat her influence and ca pacity have nevertheless been felt and recognized by everyone who ha come In contact with the financial management of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com pany. For many year beibre her fath er' death she was hi chief assistant. Her love for her father was the ruling passion of her life, and her devotion to him was the admiration of her friend and the despair of those who sought to win her hand In marriage. Mis Garrett to-day, although few per, sons know it, eontrola) and mana th i ne-,!-, interest in the Baltimore and j nll'lL.pviou advisers. 1 unknown to businesa men, because her fine sense of modesty and true womanly reserve will not permit ber to assume an individual and persona! control which both her capacity for financial affair and her direct control ef millions of money would enable her to do. There is no woman in the I'nited States who can command more ready cash than Mis tiarrett. Her knowledge of the road and it management give her a petition in the counsels of that corora tion not possessed by any other individ ual. When her father was living ML-s (arrett was his private secretary, his best adviser and his most trusted friend, even above any of the old gentleman's Sons. It was in this rapacity that she ordained her knowledge of the road and her in sight into financial affair. After the j death of her father Mian Oarrett's intl'.i euce over her brother, Roliert tiarrett, j was so marked that lily-came a matter of j current talk in Baltimore. But there ! were certain theories held by her hroth ! er which even tlie influence which she I held over him outld not auccvwfiiiiy com j bat. When the scheme which led to the ; invocation of the aid of the Pi-exe! syn j dicate culminated Roliert uirrettsa the I wisdom of his sister's counsels, which he hud faii.il to follow, and practically stir j rendered to her the management of hi i interest in the road. When he started 011 ' his tour around the world his sister fol : lowed end overtak him at San Fruncis I c, where he was induced to give her the ' control of all his interests in the Haltt j more and Ohio Railroad Company. Recently, when the syndicate which ' had helped the Baltimore and Ohio out j of the dilficulties into which it had un wittingly been plunged, began to haggle about tiie commissions and threatened to ; place the road in an embarrassing posi tion, Miss Oarrett quietly brushed them all aside, put up the needed cash and saved the credit of the company.

Miss tiarrett is a luuet unassuming la dy, and would never be taken for a great financier, as she is. at first sigdt. She i not fond of notoriety, and in manner and habits is a most domestic and home loving woman. She worshipped her father, and her most ardent hope is to see the great road which he built and brought to such great importance kept up to the position where he left it an.l peipet'iated as one of the great institu tions of the country. Phibaltlftliiit krrvM. Talks on the Tariff. The following tariff talk is taken from the Surrey (N.J.) RyU'r? Many peo ple insist that the tariff benefits only the industries protected and the lalxirer employed therein. Let such person rend this tariff bilk. It may set some of them right: "A larsr manufactory is being erected in Philadelphia. There will lie alsnit j o,iK) persons employed in it. Neccessari i ly steam power will be largely used, re- 1 , ltiirin-g many boilers of great size. Nat- ' Manchester, .V 11. ; Taunton, .'lass. ; New Haven, Conn. ; Syrieuse, N.

That tariff is so essential that in the competition refer red to above the Salem 'Ohioj bidder se cured it by but V under the bid of a Liverpo-..! (England! competitor.
