Mothers come first, therefore, over all the world, and sisters next. Treat them as carefully as you do anything else in your life, and with even more care, and then we can ciscuss the rest of womankind.— Harper's Round Table. Many a boy fails to rise from his chair when his mother enters the room, while he would get up at once if a stranger entered; and one would suppose that his mother, who is more to him than all the rest of womankind put together, should, to say the least, have from him the same marks of courtesy as strangers. In fact, you can tell a boy's character pretty accurately by the way iu which he treats his mother; for as a mother has probably done and will do more for her son than any other woman—with perhaps one exception—will ever do so he ought, in return, to treat her as his most valuable possession. His courtesy, his chivalrous and knightly beariug toward her, are never thrown away. She sees it all, and thinks more of it than does anyone else, and he need never fear that his thoughtfulness is thrown away. Perhaps, occasionally, such conduct may, to a certain extent, go uunoticed by some other women, but by his mother, never. In the same way one's conduct to one's sister is a test of good breeding. Sisters are not mothers, by any means; but still they demand courtesy from their brothers. Perhaps a sister can be pretty hard to get on with at times, but nevertheless she is a woman, and she can do certain things without any fear of retaliation, because the nobility or the man in the boy is bound to respect the woman in his sister. [Pharmaceutical Product.] Modern science has brought to light nothing more curiously interesting than the fact that worry will kill. More remarkable still, it has been able to determine, from recent discoveries, just how worry does kill. It is believed by many scientists who have followed most carefully the growth of the science of brain diseases that scores of the deaths set down to other causes are due to worry, and that alone. The theory is a simple one—so simple that any one can readily understand it. Briefly put, it amounts to this: Worry injures beyond repair certain cells of the brain; and the brain being the nutritive center of the body, the other organs become gradually injured, and when some diseases of these organs, or a combination of them, arises, death iiu ally euuses. Thus does worry kill. Insidiously, like many other diseases, it creeps upon the brain in the form of a single, constant, never-lost idea; and, as the dropping of water over a period of years will wear a groove in a stone, so does worry gradually, imperceptibly, but no less surely, destroy the brain cells that lead all the rest—that are, so to speak, the commanding officers of mental power, health, and motion. Worry, to make the theory still stronger, is an irritant at certain points, which produces little harm if it comes at intervals or irregularly. Occasional worrying of the system the brain can cope with, but the iteration and reiteration of one idea of a disquieting sort the cells of the brain are not proof against. It is as if the skull were laid bare and the surface of the brain struck lightly with a hammer every few seconds, with mechanical precision, with never a sign of a let up or the failure of a stroke. Just in this way does the annoying idea, the maddening thought that will not be done away with, strike or fall upon certain nerve cells, never ceasing, and week by week diminishing the vitality of these delicate organisms, so minute that they can only be seen under the microscope.

Although Napoleon III had practical proof that the Coburgs would, if possible, prevent his alliance with a member of the English royal family, he returned to the i charge a few years later and hinted at a marriage between Jerome's son and Princess Mary of Cambridge. It was Palmerston to whom the emperor broached the subject, on the occasion of one of the latter's frequent visits to the Tuileries. Free trade was in the air then. "A marriage between your majesty's cousin and Princess Mary !" exclaimed Palinerston; "I am afraid that is out of the question. The prince is somewhat too much of a free trader, and though England may be pleased to see most duties abolished, I doubt if she will want to abolish conjugal duties." The emperor smiled and dropped the subject. The woman who subsequently became Plon-Plon's conjugal victim was the daughter of Victor Emmanuel.—London Saturday Review. Parents Are to Blame. Of the season. Wait and watch for them. His entire stock was closed out last season, and nothing but the very latest novelties will be offered you this year.

I Philadelphia Prean.J It should always be remembered that no boy can become addicted to excessive cigarette smoking vitliout parental indifference or parental blindness of the most fatuous kind. It might be possible for a boy to conceal other vicious habits, but to smoke cigarettes by the hundreds requires so complete an absorbtion in a habit which makes itself manifest to sight and smell that no one parent can plead ignorance as to what his son was doing day after day. When such a case becomes public propsrty the responsibility should be put where it belongs, on the parent or the caretaker. It ought to be Impossible for any boy to acquire the habit of excessive cigarette smoking, and could be made impossible did the elders do their duty. fHuston "J«urnal."| Republican Wages. Not only from New Kngland, but from the busy manufacturing regions of the Middle West, reports of increased wages are beginning to come in, to the rage and confusion of the foes of sound money and protectionism. A despatch from Youngstowd, O., announces that "the Bessemer Limestone Company, Carbon Limestone Company and other large limestone operators in Mahoning Valley last night posted notices of an advance in wages of 20 per cent., taking effect December I. The advance will affect 3000 men and is due to all the blast furnaces beingin operation." This action, by which a veritable army of wage-workers is benefited, is taken for the explicit reason, as stated, that prosperity has come to one of the chief of the protected industries in a section where powerful efforts have been put forth by the calamity howlers, from Bryan down, to coilvert the people to free coinage. Nor is this all. The news is flashed along the wires from Iron Mountain, Mich., that "the Chapin Mining Company, the l'owabic Company, the Antoine Ore Company, the Aragon Ore Company and the Pennsylvania Iron Mining Company have announced a to per cent, increase in wages, to take effect January 1. The increase affects more than 2000 men, There is a shortage of men at all the mines, which will be worked steadily throughout the winter." Here are more than 5000 men who simultaneously feel the fullfillment of the pledges of "prosperity's advance agent." How can the demagogic press of the demagogic politicians, in the face of stunning facta like then hope to incite the worifingmen to smash the American tariff or uproot the American financial system ? *Tf- W "a'V \ t. ; *• r8*
