TifKRE has been some very fair corn weather this week. Evidently nature does not intend that we shall be stinted in our corn cakes.
JOHN L. Sn.r.iVAN was lined {500 and cost* for last winter's prize fight in Mississippi. If they don't pile it on any thicker than that the big slugger's business will not suffer very much.
C-HAt'NCRY M. UKI'KW will go to tlU rope again as usual this summer. Europe would be very lonesome without these frequent visits of our Chauncey, but if they shfuld become any more frequent America would be in danger of getting lonesome during his absence. Still, we have George Francis Train to fall back upon.
COL. PfKucK, of Connecticut, is the latest edition of Col. Sellers. He pro pones to build pneumatic tubes under the oeeau between New York and London. Passengers are to be whirled through the tubes at a speed of 1,000 miles an hour. Thus a New York or Philadelphia lady can leave home in the coo] of the morning, shop soveral hours in London and return in time for a late dinner at her own residence. What a pity to spoil ocean travel in that way.
No writer of English has said true things inore beautifully than Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes. "All the elegance in the world," ho declares, "will not make a home. I would give more for a spoon fui of real heart-lovo than for whole ship-loads of furniture aud all the gorgoousness all the upholsterers in the world can gather." We all know and feel this but we all forget It, alas, so many times. The heart love is probably in us but It doosn't get out as freely as it ought. The wife or husband, not seeing it, or hearing it, or feeling it, mistrusts that it is not thero and tlio home that would have been so happy with it is empty and sad aud desolate without it. Give your mate "a spoonful of heartlove" frequently and no© what it will do.
•OKUMANY
aud England have agreed
upon the way they will divide the larger part
of
Africa between them, as if the
other nations of the world had nothing to say. Why shouldn't America have
a
band in the business? It is evident •enough tluit the native African
will
never clvili/.O himself. He has not made the smallest progress in that direction for centuries. Enlightenment must come from without—BY tho contact of superior races with their own.
SO
for
this contact has been rather for harm than good, Tor the
white marfhas
Hooded
tho country with tire arms and liquor. Only tho missionaries are making a few bright spots in tho black continent. BUT with the gradual opening up of Africa to trade and commerce, tho elements of civilb.fttlon will be introduced and a new era will begin.
WKNUKI.I. HOI.MKStouches
upon the strident American voice in the July Atlantic. He declares that "a good many crn*y Northern people would recover their reason if they could live for a year or two among the blacks of the Southern States," and that, "the penetrating, perturbing quality of the voices •of many of Vmr Northern women lias a great deal to answer for In the way of determining love and friendship." He finds the forcigu women superior to our own in respect of the voice and so, we believe, most travellers are agreed. Even poor, old, demented King Iear knew that "a soft voice in woman" was a blessed thing, and all men who are not crazy will agree with him. Tho American woman is queen of the world In most things but she needs a softer voice to make he» perfect. The rising generation of school girls should lake this to heart.
TUK current number of Good House keeping attacks with timely vigor the present fad of over-feeding, which seems to have the encouragement of the medi cat profession, largely due to the advocacy of Dr. Weir Mitchell, of Philadelphia, It is the other extreme from the fasting and sparing diet fad of some years ago. Ikuibtless, a# Dr. Mitchell claims, the starving regimen was deter! ous to some persons, but as between the two systems there can be no sort of doubt"that the stufflug regimen is ten times a* harmful. Considered from purely selfish point of view the doctors are wise in recommending It, for the crop of disordered stomachs and livers, prostrated nerves, btlltounneea and general distempers* that result from the stufting process famishes them a rich harvest. In this, In every other thing, the gohi«m rule of temperance in tho one and only true law f» rat tf-i t-" df»k what we j.j .• in morr tfe&U
late, will bring comfort Health and enjoyment. More or less than that is not wise, bat the danger is much greater from excess than from scantiness, especially In summer.
THE SECOND CITY,
Alreaay speculation is rife as to the city which is to hold second place tinder the census of 1890. It is conceded that New York will remain first yet awhile and Philadelphia had hoped to continue in the line of succession. Bnt Chicago, the qneen city of the West, disputes this claim, and it seems certain that the two cities will press each other closely. The unofficial report of the census supervisor gives Philadelphia some 40,000 or 60,000 over a million, while it was predicted by some that thisyear's enumeration would give b«?r about 1,200,000. As to Chicago, the figures are not yet given but, taking the school census as a basis, it is estima ted that her population will be about 1,100,000. In 1880 Chicago ranked fourth and if, in the last ten years, she has distanced both Brooklyn and Philadelphia, the achievement will be the most remarkable in the growth of any great city. In 1850 there were 18 other American cities larger than Chicago. In 1860 there were eight, in 1870 only four aud in 1880, three. If in 1890 there shall be only one, will it be only a question of time when Chicago will lead New York and be the metropolis of the continent?
BEHIND THE WOMAN. One of tho "cutest" slanders on the female sex is the alleged discovery, by "a clever woman correspondent," that "every woman who is succeeding either in journalism or literature, has some man as a helper and an adviser." That is to say, it is the man's brain after all, acting through the woman, that wins success.
There is probably just about as much truth in this as there is a woman behind every man who succeeds. To a certain extent thero is truth in both propositions. Few people in the intellectual world work wholly alone. Their associations with others act as a stimulus, especially the more intimate ones. But too much importance should not be attached to what is merely external and incidental. Those who succeed in intellectual work do so by virtue of inherent originality. Ella Wheeler Wilcox and Ralph Waldo Emersou are as wide apart as the poles of the earth, yet it is not mote true of one than the other that success came from within, not from without. And so of every person of either sex who has achieved a lasting fame.
Wo are far from moaning that the influence of the masculine mind upon the feminine, and vice versa, is of small consequence. God did not create two sexes for nothing, nor can custom, dress, manner of life, or any other thing, ever destroy the fundamental distinctions botween them, for nature will not bef* thwirted. What we mean is that there is no more that women succeed by the aid of men than that men succeed by the help of women. Let each sex have its due reward. When a woman snceeeds as Mrs. Frank Leslie has done, don't attribute her success to some male helper or adviser. Sho is just as much entitled to the credit of it Phil Armour, or Marshal! Field or any other man is entitlod to the credit of doing what he has done.
IN SPITE OF PO VERTY. Many young mon and women are deterred from seeking a college education because they are poor, audIt Is generally understood to cost a small fortune to attend a university. Small fortunes are spent that way, to bo sure, but it is in extravagant and riotous living. The truth Is, students at college, like people anywhere else, can spend much or little, as they may determine. Some of the most eminent and successful college men have been those whose poverty compelled them to the closest economy during their school days, and who had to ''work their way" through coMege.
A good illustration of how college expenses may be cut down is furnished by twenty young men who are students at the University of Boston. They rented a building and went to keeping house. One of the number acts as commissary. Ho buys all the supplies and looks after the dining room during tho week. At the end of each week accounts are cast up and expenses divided equally. In consideration of his services In market, kitchen and dining room, the commissary is allowed his board free.
The plan is said to delight the young men, as far as they have got. They have been able to live without quarreling so far, an«? enjoy their bachelor home They have an excellent cook and live almost luxuriously at prices far below what they would pay the ordinary board ing house keeper. The cost of food alone averages to each man $2.60 a week, and food and lodging both amount to no more than $5 a week. This Is less than the boys could get good board for in any large city of the Union.
Similar plans for saving have been adopted at other schools with good results. In view of what can be done no young person, who is eager for a larger education, should be kept from it on the TOOW of poverty. There is always a way where there is enough will.

TWENTY-ONE
Wtththia issue The Saturday Evening Mail passes the 21at mile post in its course, and moves forward to meet the experiences of its twenty-second year. No anniversary in recent, years has been hailed with so much pleasure, for not one has so clearly marked an era of prosperity for the paper. With The Mail it is as with a young man just reaching his majority. The past appears bnt a record of gradual advancement esulting from earnest effort to broaden and improve, while the future holds forth every promise of rowardfor the trials overcome in youth.'
The Mail was a pioneer in the field of jouranalism it now fills. No guide posts stood to point out the way and no herald had gone before to clear the road of obstacles. It was necessary to develop afield and this the paper did. meeting with success from the very first issue. This was a source of great satisfaction to the late Perry S. Westfall, who devoted all the energies of his life to its interests. He was proud of The Mail for from one end of the land to the other its sue casss was acknowled, and other papers did not hesitate to copy after it in both style and name.
The Mail has been one of Terre Haute's popular institutions and this it will endeavor to remain. The methods and policy of Perry Westfall will con tinue to control it through the management of his son, E. P. Westfall, and the hope is entertained that our past sue cesses will continue. As heretofore it will be our desire to be bright, pure and high-toned, full of just such news, information and entertainment as every wide-awake family wants, and hence welcome visitor to an ever-increasing number of homes. Assuch we»feel con fident of the liberal measure of patronage we have always been accorded.
