6ENSIBLE ADVICE FROM THE LIP8 OF
A PERFECTLY MADE MAN.

Shu hail hcwi to church. As rthe
(mlkml homo Bhe looked np nnil ea-w
Muhlonn.
Frnm the very beginning women hnve
liked hitf mnn men who nro physically
Wg mill when they hy nonio accident
do enro fur littlo men it's ten to ono the
Drains are big. To every womnn, nnd
wonmn U nt .henrt on nncivilized crea
ture, there In a certuln jilenstire in the
knowledge) tluvt a mini can, if ho wanM
to, kill yon with a Wow. Tho woman
who lnw not bad thin neiiMiition in tho
one who him cultivated tho original
weman out of her;lf and is briny search
ing for fresh emotions. Consequently
Hercules is to a woman more benntiful
than Adonis, and if she admires a man
who mentally U strong, a thousand
times more does nho euro for the man
who can if ho will govern hy physical
strength and become what Swinburne
calls "King of Pain.'" Yon can't deny
this, nor explain it, hut It's true.
Tho churchgoing young woman who
met Mr. Mnldooii was inquisitive, and
elio niiido up her mind that she was go
ing to get some points on bigness mid
beauty from him; so with tho audacity
of the fox terrier, tho dog of the iluy,
Bhe asked!
"Mr. Muldoon, what constitutes a per
fectly made man?"
"One whose neck, biceps and calves
all measure the same."
It was il bit Impertinent, but that is
tho prerogative of a woman mid so she
naked, "Do yours?"
And ho quietly answered, "Yes."
Then sho Inquired, "What is the
reanou that us ono walks in New York
ono notices that tho women arc) larger,
look more healthy, walk better, ami
from a physical standpoint tiro better
specimens than the men?"
"Well," said ho, "the trouble begins
with tho caro of tho boy when ho is a
littlo chap; everything hero is saeriticed
to the cultivation of the intellect, and
tho small boy's physical condition Isn't
paid much attention to. You wo tho
eons of rich men who aro weak, miser
able specimens, killing themselves with
cigarettes, smaller and less strong than
their Bisters and having no strength
physically. A good many of them nre
cowards. Train a boy morally and
physically llr.st, and his brain will re
spond when you call on It. Train tho
brain at the expense of tho body nnd
you have just such specimens of man
hood as yon laugh nt."
"Mr. Muldoon, when yon get n man
down and urs looking him straight in
the eyes nnd know that you have him
almost in your power, what nre yon
thinking oft"
"1 nm thinking only of one thing, and
thot is where 1 enn best get a hold of
him nnd how I can best keep him whore
I want him to bo."
Then he was asked, "How long have
yon been an athlete?"
"Since I was fifteen years old, nnd 1
am now forty-one. I weigh 21J5 pounds
In my clothes, 205 in lighting trim, or, ns
the say in tho south, in tho buff. After
I was thirty-llvo years old 1 allowed my
self to gain ten pounds, because after
that age J think a mnn needs a littlo
more flesh. 1 have never used tobacco
and I don't drink.
"What do I think of women? To bo
qnito honest. 1 nm a little afraid of them;
they ore not so trustworthy ns horses or
dogs? What kind of a woman do I like?
I like a womanly woman, a woman who
is gentle nnd affectionate nnd who isn't
loud. 1 like a woman whose face is
, clean, not daubed all over with rouge
and powder. I like woman who has a
little bit of consideration for a man, and
who, while he is willing to give her de-
votion and love, is rendy to return it
with affection and kindly thoughts.
"But do you want me to tell yon what
is killing half the population of this
country?"
Tho Inquisitive one said she did Bhe
was a seeker for knowledge.
"It is the vile air that is in the cars,
boats, half the houses and hotelB, and in
all the places of aiuuaemont. You get
in a parlor cor, and there is one person in
that car an invalid, or a woman, who
insists on having all the ventilators
closed, and yon have got to sit, possibly
sleep, in that foul air, breathing in the
diseases that everybody else has. If they
would spend less money on making a
car handsome and more on making it
healthful, there would not be half as
much wickedness as there is, for when
men and women are thoroughly well
there is not much chance of their going
wrong."
"But about women?"
"I think there are 100 good women
to one good man, and where a woman
make a mistake it usually is the fault
of a man. It is perfect nonsense, how
ever, shooting such creatures, as we
have heard of lately. They ought to be
caught by the nape of their necks and
tossed out of a window and left to get
along as best they can:"
. "Who is your favorite actor?"
"Mr. Booth."
"What are your favorite flowers?"
"Violets."
"What is yonr favorite color?"
"Pale blue." '
And then, with a characteristic jump
from flowers and colors, the inquisitive
one asked, "At a prizo fight do they
spill muoh blood?"
"No," said Muldoon; "the amount of
blood spilled is usually very much ex
' aggerated. When Sullivan fought Kil
rain, on July 6, 1889, the fight lasted two
hours and eighteen minutes, and there
Wasn't enough blood shed to entirely

PrAti1n( ml Tract len.
They were two bright women one
cnller and tho tither hostess and they
had been discussing tho vnlito of tem
perance In eating as a means to prevent
illness.
"1 do not Bee," said tho hostess, "that
onr boasted advance in civilization hns
been nnything hut a failure in regard to
tho preservation of health. With phy
Mclnns better able than at any time in
the world's history to cope with disease,
this sudden snapping of vitality goes on
all abont ns. I consider it entirely the
fault of iernons who do not take the caro
of themselves which their intelligence
points out ns imperative. 1 am always
well, but It is at the price of constant
denials of appetite."
"Yes," echoed. tho culler, "it must be
so. I hnvo to tie firm in tho matter of
ice cream, which, wholesome for most
people, Is not so for me."
Tho hostess did not wait for this
perch to be dono. "Why, that, makes
mo think," sho sniil cordially, "I gavo a
luncheon today nnd there is some de
licious banana cream going to waste
down stairs. Can't you cat just a lit
tler Tim cnller hesitated, "nnnnnn cream
Is my weakness," sho confessed, "and"
but the render can guess the rest.
Tho health discourse ended in nn enjoy

caller went on her way Iwildly to meet

took her valuable food theories buck to

"Tho two greatest American delu
sions," said an observer of what is going
on, "is cranberry muico and pumpkin
pie."
"In all recitals of turkey feasts wo
hear great stress laid on the cranberry
sauce. For years I ate it out of regard
for the customs of my ancestors. I pre
tended to like it, but 1 have como out as
n rank rebel. I will have no move of it."
"Pumpkin pie is quite as big n fraud.
At the best a pumpkin hasn't any more
taste to it than ii turnip, nnd why it
should be mudo into pie and treated as a
dessert I don't know. 1 have talked
abont this thing confidentially among
my most intimate friends, nnd many of
them have confessed to me under a sol
emn pledge of secrecy that they don't
like pumpkin pio or cranberry sauce
either, and there is now a little coterie
of ns drawn very closely together, I enn

club is going tod about it, but this

When AniuuiU Are III.
Said a prominent veterinarian: "Ani
mals when sick are tho most helpless
and appreciative of all creatures, and
the way of administering relief and
medicine in many instances is ns novel
as it is effective. The most savage and
revengeful animals during spells of se
vere pain are as docile and troctublo as
a child. Relief must come from a hu
man being and come quickly, and they
seem to kuow it, The most vicious
horse when grouting with pain would
allow a mere child to administer relief,
and many of the wild animals when in
licknees seem to forget thoir savage in

The Growth of Railroad Mileage.
In 1830 there were twenty-three miles
of railway in operation in the United
States. By 1833 the mileage hod in
creased to 220 miles, and in 183S the
country had 1,008 miles of railroad. The
first through railroad from the east
westward was completed m 1842 between
Boston and Albany, connecting at the
latter place with the Erie canal. In the
same year the last link of the line from
Albany to Buffalo was opened. At the
end of 1848 the total mileage of all the
railroads in the country was 5,990 miles,
or about S00 miles more than there are

There aro lizards in (Singapore large,
senmpering, suddenly dropping things,
of all sorts of colors. Yon see thom on
the walls of your hotel, in the sunshine,
and admire them. At evening, sitting
with fan nnd Iced drinks, ono suddenly
falls on you, nnd it is colder than your
toddy. How can any organism bred In
this seething spot bn so cold?
Yon go to lied, you and your wife.
Each hns n canopied conch, rods remote
from tho other, for sleeping npartments
are ample. Yon stretch out on alight
innttrass over which Is ono sheet. For
npjier covering pull up tho darkness and
drnw the mosquito nets. Thero is no
need of a sheet over you nny more than
thero Is for a wnrming pan.
Tho night orchestra, strange sounds of
(Topic Insects nnd trees and airs outside,
finally lulls you asleep. Presently
plunk! nnd then a scampering of some
nimble clawed thing on the floor near
your lied. My lady, over at the other
sido of the vast waste of chamber,
squeals, "A mouse!"
You nssuro her that it conldn t bo mice.
"Mice don't fall from tho ceiling like
a lump of mud. it's only tho lizards!"
This cheerful information elicits no
squeal. With mice out of the question,
what woman would not bo brave? There
is a hush in the distant couch, a silence
too Btill for sleep. You know your
partner lies over yonder listening hard
for more lizards. Presently thero are
moro littlo dull thuds. The lizards seem
to be falling in several places. They
seem to be chasing ench other or some
venomous prey or possibly making away
with your shoes.
When one is fugged out with sight
seeing, to lie awake in inky darkness in
the midst of n lizard carnival is a littlo
hnrd on the nerves. Ah, something is
pulling nt, the. canopy of your lied, ns if
a young kitten were trying to climb it!
There comes a very subdued voice
from tho distant corner: "This is awful.
Won't you get up mid striko a light?"
"And step on tho blooimn cold lieasts

nearer the mutches than I!"
"Hut. wo can't lie here like this. Call

And ono of tho omnipresent "boys,"
who seems to lm.vo boon on guard nt the
threshold, comes softly in. "Tho lizards
will not hurt yon, lady." They catch
tho mosquitoes and spiders. Sometimes
liev get under tho nets on tho bed: but

Dr. TllllllllRii Tells a Story.
Tho Rev. T. Do Witt Tnlmuge tells
with great gusto tho following experi
ence, which he attributes to his brother,
also n clergyman:
"IIo had just recovered from a long
spell of sickness," says Dr. Talmiigo,
"and weak in body, emaciated and
pallid, he was walking slowly along a
street near his homo when he was ac
costed by n big, burly fellow, who said
to him cheerfully:
"'Say. is your namo Smith Jim
Smith?'
" 'No,' replied my brother, 'my namo
is Taluiagu.'
" 'Well, I didn't know. I'm looking
fur a man named Smith. They sny ho
lives near hero. He's dying of consump
tion, nnd I thought ns soon as 1 chipped
eyes on you that you might bo the man.'
" 'Sir,' said my brother, '1 nm n cler
gyuiun, nnd I may look thin nnd pale,
but you must not judge of consump
tives by (lint. In my timo, now, I've
preached funeral sermons over scores of
fellows just as big as you. Apoplexy,
you know, catches yon big follows every
time. 1 liopo I shall not bo called
upon'

fellow did not wait to hear my brother
