THE DEAR WOMEN. How the Sweet Creatures are Sized up by a Jersey Preacher and a Pennsylvania Editor. In one of his sermons, a New Jersey preacher recently had the following to say concerning the women: “Women get their fashions from Par- is and Paris gets them from hell. “The devilish effect of the present fashions is that they present the child- Jess woman as the ideal of femininity. By no stretch of credulity can one think of the hapless, hipless directoire ideal as conductive to children. The fashions are a subtile reflection of the prevailing tendency to race suicide. “Formerly a woman was proud of be- ing fat, but now she strives for ema- ciation. Women often follow foolish fashion merely to avoid being conspicu- ous, but they lose their modesty in do- ing se.” The Jersey preacher's forcible lan- guage brings forth the following from the versatile editor of the Connells- ville Courier, and there is much truth in what he says: “This pulpit orator has enlisted the sympathies of all the ladies of gener- ous proportions, especially the ladies with hippy hips, and all to whom the new gowns are utterly hopeless. “The average woman would sooner be out of the world than out of fash- ion, and most women will take a chance on hell to reflect the fashion plate. «The Jersey divine has been wasting his breath.” So much for the Jersey preacher and the Connellsville editor. Both have uttered more or less truth, but the fact still remains that there are wom- en and women in this world, and thank fortune they are not all alike. There’s no use lamenting over the actions of the waistless, hipless species, for wom- en of that kind are also brainless, and the sooner they exterminate them- selves by bowing to the decrees fash- ion, the better. Besides, by resorting to tight lacing and other foolish fads, is the only way some women are able to get squeezed, and it’s the only way some of them are fit to be squeezed, Probably a Wrong Inscription. A lawyer by the name of Strange, died. ‘His last request was that only the words be inscribed on his tomb- stone: “Here lies an honest lawyer.” His wishes were complied with, and as people passed the monument, they all remarked: “That’s Strange !"—Ex. The .c¢hances are that the inscription did not tell the truth. We have an idea that something like the following would ‘have contained more truth: «Here lies a'lawyer; he never did anv. thing else, except stealing.” That kind of an inscription would have caused passers-by to remark “That's true!” instead of remarking “That’s strange!” } Marrciage Licenses.

When they find themselves caught either in a net or on a hook, the law of self preservation gets busy and their natural instinct leads them to struggle and plunge in their endeavor to escape. If the hook hurts them, why do they come back again and again after it? I remember once fishing for ring perch when a party near me hooked one which in its struggles took off his hook, Ina very short time, not to exceed three minutes. I caught this fish with the hook fastened in its tongue. could be no doubt about it, this was the same fish, as the snell was sticking out of its mouth. I returned the hook to the owner. How many times have we all caught fish with their mouths and lips torn? This would indicate that they suffer no pain, or they are very short on gray matter.—The Quter’s Bock. Miller.

The world’s use of tin is steadily in- creasing and the demand for it is con- stantly growing. New deposits are dise covered from time to time, and certain districts niready known are increasing their out put, but the production of some of the important tin-mining regions of the world is declining.and that of others can not long be maintained. The re- <erve stocks held in various parts of the world are accordingly being greatly depleted, and the price of tin is gradu- ally becoming higher. For these reasons the discovery of new deposits of tin ore is of great in- terest to mining men and to many who are connected with the metal indus- try. as well as to investors. The United States consumes over 40 per cent. of the world’s output of tin, but contributes as an inappreciable amount, so that any information regarding deposits of tin ore in this countrv is of especiai interest. The Southern Appalachian region has nor yet afforded tin ores in commercial quantities, but shows prom ise of containing them Copies of Bulletin 293 can be obt nined free of charge by applying to the Di- rector of the Geological Survey at Washington.

Actual, prompt relief for all your stomach misery is at your Pharmacist’s. waiting for you. These large 50-cent . cases contain more than suflicient to cure a case of Dyspepsia or Indigestion.
