BAB'S LETTER.
I Published, WW, by the Bok Syndicate Press New York.] I NEW YOBK,
June
17,1896.
After a while there vrill be nothing for an honest and hard-working man to do. The women will control everything. I am moved to say this by reading that a socalled society woman has gone into the box-making business. Andjyet, is there anything more feminine than boxes? A man wouldn't be fool enough to pay three times their worth for some handkerchiefs because they come in a pretty box. He would think of the handkerchiefs, and a woman would ponder over the use to which the box might be put. There is no woman above the weakness for beautiful boxes. Catharine de Medici had most marvelous caskets of gold and silver and tortoise shell, and the Countesse de Soissons, the lady who bad the pleasing way of poisoning anybody whose manners she didn't like, kept her jewels as well as her poisons in beautifully inlaid boxes: in finely carved boxes, and in marvelously jeweled boxes. I am sure a red box mounted in gold would tempt me to buy an imp of Satan.
They arc showing some very smart boxes nowadays. Boxes made of tortoise shell, of ivory and of ebony, with mountings of gold or silver.
BOXBS ABE SUCH A LUXURY. One always has such a lot of things to go in them, and really after all one cannot have too many of them. If you are a woman, you open a box dedicated to hairpins, and you find in it three veils, four or five caramels, a postage stamp, with no stick on the back two cigarettes that you promised to keep for somebody a note that you didn't want anybody else to read, and a stick of sealing wax. That box is a surprise, and after you close it, with some regret, you open the one dedicated especially to veils. In it you find some old rings, the clipping from a society paper, that said how well you looked in your Worth frock, and some jets that you thought you were going to sew on the bodice, from which they fell the other day. Eventually the hairpins tire discovered in a box where a paper of powder has been upset, and they look as if they had been through a flour mill. Think how Eve must have suffered through having no boxes! No place to put her lig leaves! Of course, it didu't make much difference to Adam. He could haug those belonging to him on a tree. I should think the first mechanical art our forefathers learned was that of box-mak-ing, since the original man really longed to cater to his wife.
IN ANCIENT VKNICE.
The old Venetians made such beautiful boxes that one prefers to call them caskets, for the work lavished upon them was so exquisite. One can easily fancy Portia tossing her hairpins into the Venetian box. And it would not be difficult to im.agine some great beauty, who had that wonderful golden hair, throwing her additional switch into such a box, because, that kind of hair is very hard to match, and she would want to treasure it carefully, and would try to, for a while. It is a iunny thing, but I do believe that bairpins and switches are possessed of wandering devils, (iiven five full packages of hairpins oil Monday, it is difficult, ou Saturday, to find four with which to fasten up one's hair. Given a new switch, and for one week it is braided and carefully put away, and after that it is thrown or tossed—I think the latter most likely—into the charming medley of brushes, rouge, eyebrow pencils, soft linen rags, old veils, love-letters, pages off the calendar, and worn-out gloves, that tend to make up the contents of what is known to womankiud as the "top drawer."
THAT "TOP DHAWKR."
Tlu» top drawer is the abiding place of the most develish imp in Satan's dominions. One is never sure of what is there. Your finest lace handkerchiefs come to you scented with tobacco, your nicest tulle veils deftly rouged, and your brushes market! over with black and red and a white dust that might be powder if it weren't so dirty. But, speaking of boxes, I know a woman who once bought villainous hats and paid on outrageous price for them because the milliner sent them home in boxes that had roses printed upon them! And yet they pretend to say that women, mentally, are equal to men!
This Is the time of the year when the marble brow of the average woman sheds tears that are a tribute to the heat, and which mean that a few loose ringlets ou the forehead are absolutely impossible. Consequently, one wonders whether it is better to yank all one's hair backward, or to look like a convict and have a straight bang. A little woman I know made up her mind she would wear this depraved coiffure for the snmrner, and she went to a barber that she might have her bang cut scientifically. He was an Englishman, a»d he had an inclination to cut fearlessly and with scissors that had a sound suggestive of the guillotine. And he talked, oh, bow he talked!
HIS RXPKRIKNOK WITH 'KAOR, He said: MI have only been In this country a month, mum, consequently my experience with the 'eads of American ladies is limited. The trouble, mum, is

This monologue was punctuated with swish of the scissors and a bang of the hair brush, but it must be said for this Englishman that, like most of the tradesman among his people, he was wry polite* and escorted the clipped one to the door, and said "Thank you" in away that made
concJude that she would return and gtvt him another chance. Bat Ute English barber hit the nail on kCiv ITI.J# is death to hair AT-: he«:. .g 8» tit! k-

Where is the reformer who is going to start a society for suppressing patchouli and musk? Why should innocent mfen and women be forced to endure these sickening odors (strong enough to be called smells) that are sold under fancy names at very cheap prices? Why should you or I, who only like faint perfumes, have to sit next to a woman who by a wave of her fan, or the flurry of her handkerchief, forces me to endure something that absolutely makes me sick? There is
NO SPECIAL REFINEMENT
in the liking men have for plain eau de cologne, but it is at least a clean taste, cannot understand why a whole stage-load of people should be made the victims of some atrociously dressed woman who confides to her companion that she uses pints of her favorite extract every week, pouring them on her underclothing until everything she wears is thoroughly impregnated with them. Carbolic acid would be a thousand times better, and benzine or varnish would be heavenly beside such dreadful waves of suffocating stuff. A little bit of perfume is delightful a drop or two of vervain on white hands simply makes them more exquisite. Bags of orris or violet thrown among one's linen causes it to be pleasant to wear, but never announce their existence with any intensity. But this business of over-perfuming is the abuse of a good thing. That becomes a blunder, and a blunder becomes a crime, and the proper place for criminals is the penitentiary. By the bye, if you happen to wear your hair in that Japanese fashion which is known as the "blouse roll," you want to perfume it a little bit, so that if the hair loosens it is like a flower unfolding. At least, that is what a French hairdresser said.
I see that the French doctors have issued a circular announcing that the population of France is gradually growing less and less, and asking thai, for the good of the nation, early marriages be encouraged, and the expected addition to the populace be made welcome. To me there is something intensely vulgar in the woman who
OBJECTS TO BEING A MOTHER. I do not see how a man can love her. He may regard her as clever, he may think she ^s a good money-saver, but that he could love her or respect her is a something which I cannot understand. What going to become of all the women when they get old? Who is going to care for them if they are childless? What is it that keeps a woman young? fhe companionship of children, her interest in their pleasures autl in their well-being. Physically, a woman remains young longer when she is a mother. It would seem as if, when she let the milk of human kindness in her heart go out to the little people who are flesh of her flesh aud bone of her bone, she had! dipped into a bath of eternal youth. aurl would never grow old. Probably children may bring hev trouble, but. when this trouble is to be talked over with the man who is the father of these children, when he sympathizes with the mother, helps the offender to reform, these two people are goin^to be nearer to each other than ever before, and wise women realize that they are brought nearer by the hands of little children. Sometimes I think that women do not understand the exact meaning of the word murder. I wouldn't like to be in the boots of some oi them when the world comes to an end, and have to answer for the killing of unborn children. Then it is=vulgar. The old story of an American family consisting of a man and wife and one child, who live in a hotel, is to be despised by the woman who is at the head of a happy home and the mother of six boys aud girls who, by their love and tenderness, keep, her young forever. I wonder if the doctors will send: out circulars here
If I had a son who wished to adopt a profession, I should NEVER MAKE HIM A DOCTOR.
The average physician may get his reward in hearen, but he certainly doesn't on earth. You or I tumble down the steps and cut our heads eat too much aud have a dreadful pain work too hard and can't sleep then we send for the doctor in a great hurry and expect him to cure all the evils that the flesh is heir to. When we are cured we are surprised at his daring to send us a bill, and nine times out of ten we fight about paying it. We forget all about the night we had the awful cramp and the quickness with which the doctor caused the pain to vanish and joy to come instead. All we think about is "the idea of that man charging so much, when he simply came in, felt my pulse, looked at my tongue and wrote down a prescription." The years of study, the sympathetic manner, the kindly words are all forgotten when we no longer need them.
If I had a son, I should make him a politician. It is the only profession, if one chooses to call it that, where one gets everything and gives nothing. There is not much difficulty in training the average American to be a good liar. He has such a vivid imagination. Without the least trouble he can imagine himself on the right side, and then he can speak in a convincing way.
ROUGH OS THE POLITICIAN.
A politician requires but little training and less knowledge. He needs a good memory, an ability to know who to kick and who to shake hands with, and a certain genial air that he puts on just as he does his frock coat. Grammar is something he need never trouble himself about. It is enough if he knows the slang of the day. Of course, it is better if he can create some slang, and best of all if he can say something that answers to "The public be d—d." Tim multitude likes a bully. The average American likes a politician who can kick every voter into Satan's dominions if necessary, and why be likes this type I cannot understand. Our earliest political were gentlemen. Fancy Thomas Jeflfers n. Charles Carroll or John Randolph discussing events with the average polity ian of to-day! As this country grows more magnificent, it seems to take less Ktock in good morals, and honesty is oat of the question.

She—I know yon are nrtfL In fact,, you seem to prefer it when, you call on me.
He—Well, don't you also?' She—Of course I do but, Fred, thereare so many footpads on the street at night that I'm afraid something might happen to yon.
He—Oh, I'm not afraid. She—Have you a pistol? He—No, not even a cane. Slie—Suppose a bad man shouTct stop you while on your way home,, what would you do?
He (bravely)—What would: I do? Well, I'll tell you what I would, do, darling I would run.—San Francisco Wave.
Rifle Practice at Night.
A luminous foresight for use in a bad light with guns of various kinds has been patented in England by Mr., Winans. A tiny incandescent lamp, supplied with a current from a simple form! of buttery concealed in the stcck,, is mounted within a shield at the muzzle of the gun, aird a faint ray of light, calculated to indicate the position of its source, is exposed in the dircetioa of the shooter's rye, and this is sufficient to enable him to obtain the required' alignment with the back sight and with the target, be it animate or otherwise. The special application of the sight is for game shooting at night and! for service purposes—-such, for instance^ as the illumination of a machine gun used: against torpedo attacks during the night.—Army and Navy JournaL

Gas From Sawdoat.
There are several large lumber mills in Deseronto, Canada, and the town is partially lighted by gas obtained from sawdust from them. The sawdust is charged i* retorts which are heated by a wood fire. The gas from these retorts passes into a series of coils and thence into the purifiers, which are similar to those used for coal gas. Lime is used as a purifying agent. The plant is not a very large one, and it only turns out 640 meters of gas per day, for whicL about two tons of sawdust are required. A man, and boy furnish all the labor needed at the works. The best quality of gas comes from resinous weeds. One hundred kilogrammes of sawdust leave a residue of 20 kilogrammes of charcoal, and the gas in an ordinary burner gives an illumination of about 18 candle power.—Engineering and Mining Journal.

The famous motto "noblesse oblige*'' had a striking exemplification when the Grand Duchess Sergius was presented at the court of St Petersburg. As that Russian great lady was receiving the imperial kiss from the czarina the string which confined her priceless pearl necklace broke and the pearls rolled down her dress, rattling on the floor like haiL Without looking to the right or left and without noticing the loss of her matchless pearls, the grand duchess retired courtesying from the room.

Aboard Ship.
Sea voyages are usually deemed promotive of health. 9o they are in most cases. But It may well be doubted if the shaking up aboard ship, which people of very fragile constitution and weak nerves get, is not prejudicial Lf its effects are not averted or nullified by a medicinal safeguard.

SMOKELESS POWDER!
Ita Advantages and Disadvantages For the Sportsman Described.
According to a Sportsmen's Review writer, smokeless powder is confusingly varying. If the rifle is used on a warm day, it shoots with smokeless powder with flat trajectory and great penetration, but on a cold day it seems to be frozen stiff and shoots differently, taking a high trajectory and giving less penetration, and so the smokeless powder user would do well to take a thermometer along marked with the variation of inches in the trajectory. The smokeless powder would he worth the trouble, evidently, because "the bullet fired by 80 grains of the smokeless tare a third larger hole than the bullet fired by 75 grains of black powder." That means that a deer shot in the paonch with a 46 caliber bullet driven by smokeless -would die in half the time that one shot with a black powder driven bullet would, because the shock is so much greater with the swifter smokeless ball, which literally flies to pieces
Another thing about the smokelesspowder is not inconsiderable. "It was as good a hold as ever I made," the experimenter writes, "and the antelope wilted in his tracks. The band buncCed up and ran in a semicircle at about the same distance (126 yards) from me, and I got in tipvo more smokeless shots, and then by mistake one of Hack powder. I knew the latter immediately, for on firing it the 200 animals disappeared in a cloud of smoke that only dissipated as the tail end of the lot bobbed over the hill crest. I had killed every one that I shot%at" With all smokeless powder shells, he would have got two more shots anyhow.
In the woods more so than on the plains the smoke of a gun is distressing, especially when the game is on the hustling jump. More than one man has jumped sideways after each shot to g*..t another because of the smoke. A boy using a
45-70
rifle at a deer on an Adi
rondack ruir.vav jumped down a 10 foot bank, striking in waist deep water, that he might g( another shot at the deer. The last shot killed tbe deer as it landed on a rock ready for a leap into thick brush. It was a still day, with no wind, and the five shots fired left a clcfud of smoke in the air for 15 minutes after.
Origin of Barber Poles.
An English gentleman of letters has recently evolved from the musty pages of history some new and exceedingly interesting data regarding the origin of the gatidy barber pole. Its first beginnings,. this gentleman says, were in the days of the barber surgeons. In early times the tradition goes, both medicine and surgery, were in the hands of bar berSr, as: indr-d they continued to be for many cenfrillies' afterward. The old theory was that the men of the razor were the worthiest to handle the lancet, and even in the middle ages the lancet was the one great instrument of medicine, as. blood lecting was one of the chief practice* of the tima
In the days of old, during the operation of bleeding the patient used to grasp a: stick which the barber surgeon kept ready for use that the pain might be lessened, in just the same way as in the days before chloroform was invented people undergoing a severe operation frequently chewcd lead bullets. Around this stick was twined a supply of bandages for tying up the arm of the patient When not in use, the pole was hung at the door as a sign. In tbe course of time a painted staff was displayed instead of the one' actually used during the operations..
A Word or Two
to those suffering from catarrh or the thousands subject to severe attacks of cold in the head, will not be amiss if a sure remedy can be offered. Ely's Cream Balm has become a favorite in all sections of the United States, because of its effectiveness. Your cold in the head will be quickly relieved by it, and the severest attacks of catarrh will yield to, and be perfectly cured by a thorough treatment. Catarrh is not a blood disease, but an inflammation of the passages of the nose and throat, due to climatic changes.
Where Valor Sleeps!
Many people visited the battlefields in and about Chattanooga Chickamauga, and Lookout Mountain last year to see the dedication of the Great National Park and for 1806 the opportunity will be given to spend Decoration Day on the old fields %nd to visit the National Cemetery with its fourtean thousand soldier's graves on Decoration Day. $5.00 is all the round trip will cost via the Queen & Crescent Route.
The journey occupies about ten hours, through the most beautiful mountain scenery in the South passing near Perryville, Richmond, Ky., Mill Springs, and other battlefields, crossing the Cumberland River at Point Burnside, where Gen'l Burnside had his base of supplies, and crossing (further south) under Walden's Ridge, over Chickamauga Creek across the Battlefield of Missionary Ridge and in plain view of Orchard Knob and the National Military Cemetery into Chattanooga.
