WOMEN RUNG THE FARES

Society Lights of Bay City, filch., Conductresses for a Day.

Rnltroads Give Part of the Iteer’.pts to the Women's Mtisonlc Temple Association —Male Patrons Made to Come Down Handsomely. The new woman in all her glory excepting the bloomers ha:l possession of all the best streets of liny City, Mich., one day recently. In other words sho ran the motor ears and everybody hti l to keep out of the way or ride, ami the unfortunates who rode without a nickel in their pockets and were compelled to give up anywhere from a quarter to a whole dollar are glad the women don’t run the ears every day. For several days it had been announced that the Women's Masonic Temple association would have charge of the cars for one day and would receive a portion of the receipts. Early in the morning a “conductress” was on hand to operate every ear. The ladies who collected faros during the day were Vhe wives and daughters of the leading men of the city, who are prominent in masonic affairs, and the way dollars flowed into their treasury and incidentally into that of the street car company makes the latter wish the “conductress” were an everyday affair. In many cases it was a regular holdup. "We don't make change to-day,” was the invariable answer when anyone objected to paying several times a single fare and it was indeed a hardened villain who could still object to being relieved of his coin. Of coarse, when once in awhile some old codger who couldn't see the joke of the thing insisted on getting the exact change back ho got it, but it always took the ladies so long to find the right money that he sometimes was carried a block or so past his destination, and then had to walk back. Then, too, there was the smart }'oung man who would pay faros for a half dozen friends with a choice collection of big Canada coppers, but the money was always taken smilingly. Of course the conductors were tired. They quit shortly before midnight, and many of them had aching heads and weary feet, but they all knew they had .put in a good day's work, and many a stray nickel or quarter above the regular fare had come “their way,” and they were satisfied. ANTI-FAT CRAZE.

Methods In Tog'lie in Europe for Reducing SuperBuous Avoirdupois. Banting, the artificial thinning-down process, is just now a craze In London. It is said that both men and women devote much time and thought to the subject, and those physicians who make a specialty of reducing weight have reaped a harvest of profit. According to a correspondent, of the various systems in vogue the most efficacious seems to be that pursued and recommended by the French doctors—the fish regimen. The patient lives entirely on various kinds of fish, a small'slice of wholemeal bread being permitted with each meal. British specialists deny to their patients any food containing either sugar or starch. Antifat dishes have largely entered Into the menu of all well-ordered establishments, and toast has taken the place of bread. It is said that Dr. Zwiniugen, Bismarck’s physician, simply orders his patients to entirely forego any kind of liquid with their meals. By this means he claims to make the stoutest man become normal in size.

“CLIMATE AND HEALTH."

New Pubilratlon Jnnt Issued bjr the Weather Barenn at Washington. The first number of “Climate and Health,” a publication issued by the weather bureau, has just appeared. Secretary Morton saw something of the kind published in Cornwall, England, and last winter directed the attention of the weather bureau officials to it with a suggestion that something similar would bo of benefit to the people of the United States. It consists largely of tables giving the mortality statistics of the country by sections. The characteristics of the weather in each section for the week will bo given, and from them scientists and others interested may draw inferences and deduce fact.i as to the relation climate bears to health. The introductory statement to the initial number modestly says it is published not as the perfection of this sort of statistics, but as an earnest of what the bureau is desirous of doing for the country. Bushels of Finger Itlngs Lost. “Jfssnfo to say that a basketful of fipger rings are lost at the seashore every season,” said an habitue of the Atlantic coast summer resorts recently. “Many bathers never think to remove their rings from their finger. b->fnre taking a plunge in the surf, and when they come out not a few find that tho rings have slipped off in the water. Of course, they are irrevocably lost in the sands. If the beach at Atlantic City, for instance, could be thrashed out or sifted, it would yield a gold mine, not to mention a valuable store of precious stones of every kind."

A TRICKY MEMORY.

WORK OF THE MISSISSIPPI.

A Keen-Mlmii-it Man Whose Itecolleetlon Was at Fault. It would afford material for an enlirt paper to study defects o. un mory and to describe gome of the cur. vsities of thinking which result from such de- | fects. A writer in Popular Science Monthly says that he saw lately a business man of keen mind and good general memory, who was not paralyzed in any way and was perfectly able to understand and talk, but who had suddenly lost part of his power of reading and of mathematical calculation. Tho letters d. g, q, x and y. though seen perfectly, were no longer recognized and conveyed no more idea to him than Chinese characters would to us. He had great difficulty in reading —had to spell out all words and could not read words containing three letters. He could write the letters which he could read, but could not write the live letters mentioned, lie could read and write some numbers, but fl. 7 and 8 had been lost to him, and when asked to write them his only result, after many attempts, was to begin to write the words six, seven or eight, not being able to finish these, as the first and last contained letters —x and g—which lie did not know. lie could not add 7 an 1 5 together or any two numbers of which 0, 7 or 8 formed a part, for he could not call them to his mind. Other numbers he knew well. He could no longer tell time by the watch. For a week after t’.ie onset of the disease he did not recognize his surroundings. On going out for the first time the streets of the city no longer seemed familiar; on coming back lie did not know his own house. After a few weeks, however, nil his memories had returned excepting those of the letters and figures named. But as the loss of these put a stop to his reading and to all Ids business life the small defect of memory was to him a serious thing. Experience has shown that such a defect is due to a small area of disease in one part of the brain. Such cases are not uncommon and illustrate the separateness of our various memories and their dependence upon a sound brain.

Every Tear the Father of tVatrrx Carrie* Down a Square Mile of Land. The Mississippi has in the course ol ages transported from the mountaUis and high land within its drainage area suQcicnt material to make 400.1)00 square miles of new land by filling up an estuary which extended from its original outfall to tho Uulf of Mexico for a length of 500 miles, and in width from 30 to 40 miles. This river, says Longman's Magazine, is still pouring solid matter into the gulf, where it is spread out in a fa:.-like shape over a coast line of 150 mile and is filling up at the rate of 362,000,000 tons a year, or six times as much soil as was removed in the construction of the Manchester ship canal, and sufficient to make a square mile of new land, allowing for it having to fill up the gulf to a depth of SO yards. Some idea of the vastness of this operation may be conceived when the fact is considered that some of this soil

Anyhow, We Hope So. Republican leaders congratulate themselves on having kept out of the

It is a small politician who feels good over party cowardice. He is small in spirit, because a politician of commanding force could not keep out of the tight of the hour. He is small In intellect, because a strong mind would see the necessity of settling the issue within his party. Republicans may get into the financial fight just in time to scatter and demoralize their forces. Western leaders of the party understand that there is nothing but danger in a tariff campaign. Western farmers who have stuck to the Republican organization have always been restive under the protection whip.

Republican managers have succeeded very well so far in dodging tho financial issue, but the fight may come upon them when it is too late to patch up a party.

and process well. A pure technical difficulty can be overcome by large numbers of craftsmen; large numbers, accordingly, have learned to make pen drawings to supplant wood engravings. But it should be noted that to do this is itself a kind of reproductive process. Few elaborate pen drawings are made without a studious foundation in some other material. The pen line must frequently be traced or drawn over the pencil line, very much like the engrav-

er’s tool.

The point about the moderns and ancients, then, resolves itself into the imitation by the moderns in a new medium of the technique of an old. It is certain that the ancients could have performed this feat if they had chosen, not altogether certain that they would have chosen. For, to consider those other points of reproduction and dissemination, the modern master seems to be in no greater hurry than the ancient to make use of the new facilities. When such a master does take up the pen, he handles it to much grander effect than do its devotees. BOY AND ROBIN.

FUTURE OF THE HORSE. to Which tho Animal Will Always He Turned. When railroads were first put in operation it was predicted that there would be a great fall in the value of horses, a deterioration of horse flesh, and finally that the animals would soon become curiosities on the way towards extinction. Of course, says the Boston Transcript, everybody knows that nothing of the kind happened. Horses increased in number, value and quality. The business the railroads developed all along their lines occasioned a demand for more and better horses. Just at present the popularity of tne bicycle and the application of electricity to transportation are causing some people to repeat the predictions of fifty years ago concerning the horse. It is even said that the horse in the near future will be raised simply for slaughter for food. If the horse could learn of this prediction his intelligence and his sense of his value would prevent him from taking it seriously. He might ask: What good is the electric car oil the rails? How does a bicycle act on plowed ground, and what can it draw without the assistance of human energy? If horses become very cheap will not more people buy them, and will not the aggregate of individual wauts occasion a great demand that will send up prices? The intelligent horse asking these questions could well afford to munch his oats calmly while the alarmists were cogitating as to what reply was possible. ENORMOUS HEAT. A Figure Which DemonAtrates the Power of the Sun. There is not more than one person in each ten thousand who has anything like the correct idea what an icicle forty-five miles in diameter and two hundred thousand in length would looklike. It is also true, says tho St. Louis Republic, that there is no necessity for one being provided with a mind that would enable him to form a correct conception of such a gigantic cylinder of ice, for there is no probability that anyone will ever live to see an icicle eieii half so large, yet It is iuteresting to know that Sir John Herschel, the great astronomer, used such an illustration in one of his articles on the intensity of the sun's heat. After giving the diameter of the great blazing orb. and a calculation on the amount of heat radiated by each square foot of its immense surface, ho closed by saying that if it were possible for an icicle forty-five miles in diameter and two hundred thousand miles long to plunge into the sun’s great burning sea of gas it would be melted away and utterly consumed even to its vapor, in less than one second of time. Such an icicle would contain more ice than has formed on the rivers and lakes of the United States during tho past one hundred years: its base would cover the average Missouri country and its length would bo almost sufilcient to roach to tho

Friendship of the Two Hrought About by Cold Weather. During the extremely severe weather of February, 1895, myriads of birds perished from cold and starvation, both in Europe and tho United States. In England this destruction was the more sorrowful, perhaps, as the country where the birds winter is more thickly settled than with us, and there were more to see their sufferings. But occasionally the British birds found friendly shelter. Thc London Times published, during the cold weather, this note from Uodolph Walther, a boy of twelve years, who lives at Tunbridge Wells: “I thought perhaps you would allow a schoolboy to tell you how very tame and fearless the cold and hunger have made thc wild birds aiouud our house. “Of course we feed them with bread and all sorts of odds and ends, and the ground is simply black with our hungry visitors. Even the suspicious rooks come quite close to the house for their

be maintained One of the best plans with sheep is to begin sheltering them in good season in the fall at night and on rainy or stormy days, letting them run out every day that the weather will permit. The doors of the sheep shed should always be wide, and arranged so that they can be fastened open and then the sheep can run in or out in pleasant weather as they like. Sheep will not bear close confinement and keep in the best of health. Hence all reasonable care must be taken to give plenty of pure air and abundant opportunity for exercise.—St. Louis Re-

The Ghaee Memorial. A. M. Atkinson, trustee of the Chase memorial fund, which was raised for the benefit of Mrs. Chase, who was left in dependent circumstances by the death of the Ex-Gov-ernor, has purchased a home for Mr. Chase in Wabash, Ind., where she expects to live. The little home cost $2,100, twenty five per cent of which was contributed by the citizens of Wabash. Those in charge of the fund hope soon to have secured sufficient money to make Mrs. Chase comfortable during the remainder of her days. The “Sassafras Man.” A special from Charleston, Ills., Oct. 6, says: One of tho most unique and widely known characters in this section of the State died last night— John Gordon, the “Sassafras” man. He was nearly 80 years old and made his living by digging and selling roots of the sassafras tree. Both Whitcomb Riley and Robert McIntyre have made him famous in verso.

The improvement in the finances of the country and in the general condition of business has disclosed the existence of a painful state of mind among the editors of certain republican papers. The announcement that the receipts of the treasury exceed the disbursements causes them deep distress. The estimate that the continuous deficit of the past two years win nereatter be replaced by a steadily increasing surplus is received by them with every indication of genuine sorrow. They try not to believe it. What kind of Americans are these whose hearts are saddened at the evidences of their country’s pros

perlty?

This is how a Kentnoky judge charged a jury the other day; “If you ' Mieve what the counsel for the plaintiffhas told you, your verdict will be for thc plaintiff, if, on the other hand, you believe what the defendant’s counsel has told you, you will give a verdict for the defendant. But if you are like me, and don’t believe what either of them said,I don’t know what yon will do.” The jury disagreed.

CONCERNING WOMEN.

HOW BAD HABITS ARE FORMED. The AVt/> Vork Tribuut wiy*: “ The habit of taking headache powders is increasing to an alarming extent among a great number of women throughout the country. These powders as their name indicates, are claimed by the manufacturers to be a positive and speedy cure fur any form of headache. In many rises their chief ingredient is morphine, opium, cocaine or tome other equally injurious drug having a tendency to deaden pain. The habit of taking them is easily formed, but almost impossible to shake o.T. Women usually begin taking them to relieve a raging headache and soon resort to the powder toallevint- any little pain or ache they may be subjected to. and finally like the mor-

Take .n simple laxative and liver tonic and remove the offending matter which deranges the stomach and causes the headache. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are composed entirely of thc purest, concentrated, vegetable extracts. One Pellet is a dose; sugar-coated, easily swallowed; oner used, always in favor. They positively cure sick headache and remove
