Kuto Field , wlio Is clmntctcrlzed by n
prominent jourimlist na the very brntn
lest woman in the United States , Is at
caoy woman to Intorvlow , writes a Now
York correspondent of the Philadelphia
American. Slio throws herself buck it
lior Btcamer clialr which litis gone al
over creation and ti part of Canada with
her , crcwHos her small foot and begins
tallclii } , ' us slowly as if dictating to a
typewriter , giving you plenty of time to
jot Homo of her opinions. "I sympathize
with the intorvlowor , " she s.iid to mo ,
"for often as a journalistic relaxation I
interview homo one. "
This brilliant , audacious , aggressive
woman talks much as she writes in clear ,
caustic style and with a smllu on her lips
oven when dealing the most cutting
blows. She is a curious mixture of cll-
plomacy and fearlessness , now veiling
her rail sentiments under the most pol
itic of utterances , anon Hinging prudence
to the winds. She is assertive , and sots
forth her ideas with an air which seems
to say : "That's ' what I , Kato Pield ,
thinks. You can like it or not , as you
pleacc. "
Katherlno Van Arnholm , a very tal
ented and beautiful Chicago singer , was
nrebont ono day when Miss Pield was
laying down laws for using the voice ,
which the artist at once discovered to bo
absolutely worthless. Mine. Van Arn-
liuitn is always ready to discuss the regu
r lation of the voice , and although she was
a comparutivu stranger to Miss Field , at
once joined is-iuo with her.
"How do you dare , Miss Pield , to say-
thus and r.o about the manner in which
ono should use the voice in singing you ,
who cannot use it properly in speaking ,
oven ? "
"And prnv , "who are you , " Sharply
asked Miss ield , "to dispute mo in this
fashion ? "
"Well , " said Van Arnholm , "I may bo
very small potatoes compared to Miss
Kato Field , but I know something of the
voice and I tell you you are all wrong. "
After this tilt the two became great
friends.
Another woman who dares to differ
from this distinguished feminine uuto-
, oral is Margaret Sullivan of Chicago.
She was breakfasting with Miss Field
not long since in Washington and was
pouring milk in her tea when Kate
cried :
"How can you drink milk in your tea ?
Don't you know that it's leather ? "
" 1 like leather , " was the calm reply of
Mrs. Sullivan as she proceeded to drink
her tea.
Miss Field's signature is perfectly con
sonant with the character of the aggres
sive woman who penned it. There is a
dash of business , a smack of conceit , a
propensity to light and a tendency to lay
1 ho law down pretty sharply visible in
this signature. Any ono who has overcome
come in contact with Kato Field would
expect jubt such a list from her.
" * AutroMi-Worship.
I have frequently boon asked to explain -
plain the cause of the undeniably su
perior attraction and fascination the
women of the btago possess over women
in private life , most especially as "ac
tress-worship' ' is not alone confined to
men , actresses now receiving just as
many letters , lUnvorsand attentions from
the gentler box.
I think the problem easily solved.
Personal magnetism is ono of the Ijrst
requisites of a successful actress. It is a
nioru powerful factor oven than beauty
itself. Rachel was noted for her plain
face , no ono would cull Uornlwrdt beauti
ful , and yet the peculiar animal magnet
ism of cither 01 these artistes could do
inoro to hold an audience than the com
bined beauty of Langtry and Riibsoll.
Secondly , a successful actress is , as a
rule , possessed of more than ordinary
intelligence , and intellect is the only
nobility. Take this given magnetism
and intelligence , add to thorn real , or
borrowed , beauty of "make-up , " sot it
all in the most advantageous and attrac
tive frame of the stage , surrounded by a
halo of romantic situations , and Is it to
IHJ wondered at that men and women
alike are charmed by this dazzling in
dividuality ,
For women the actress has a special
charm that men do not understand , for
ho possesses that which all women huvo
, boon clamoring for since the dark ages
personal independence ! By this I do not
moan moral license , butonly what I huvo
wild personal independence that places
her on an intellectual equality with men.
estrange to say , mobt actresses appreci
ate attentions and admiration from
women more than from men , and are
most fluttered by them. I naturally Imvo
not in mind the proverbial dude's adora
tion for the proverbial chorus girl , but
the honest appreciation for the legiti
mate , intelligent artists who loves her
art apart from the thought of what it
can bring her.
I'lvorv ' actress has a peculiar seductive
atmosphere about her that seems wafted
from the breezes in the world of art. Is
it not Longfellow who wild :
The vtoilil of art Is 1111 lilonl world-
Tito win Id 1 love , mul tlmtlfnln would live In ,
Just so long as art can charm the world
just so long will wo have actress-worship.
"Woman and 11 or Watch.
Perhaps a woman can't sharpen pen-
oils and throw stones in just the ortho
dox way , but who can take care of a
watch to the queen's taste , and her in-
vontlvenepH as to the number of absurd
and ridiculous ways of wearing it is only
equalled by that displayed by man in
formulating excuses for going out be
tween acts or getting in Into from the
club. Her ministrations begin with
winding the watch , which she never
thinks of doing unless she Is
going shopping or on u journey , bays the
Kew York Sun. Thou if she
doesn't break the mainspring Bhe tucks
the watch inside of her dress , where the
multitudinous hooks and buttons scrape
and scratch the case , and whore it re
quires u half hour's Investigation when
eho wants to see what time it is. At
hlght when she takes her dress olT she
forgets all about it , of course , and bends
it wlils'/lng under the bed or bureau ut ?
she throws back her bodice preparatory
to wrestling her way out of it. If it
stops she isn't at all disconcerted. With
u serenity born of long experience she
picks it up and shakes it until it ticks
again.
After nil It is only the unusually care
ful woman that vvenra her watoh inside
lior dross , for the intricate fabtentngs of
the fashionable bodices render it well
nigh impossible. She has the happy
fashion of tucking It In the pocket of her
cloak or dumping It into the bottom of
the bag nil * ; arrioa about with her , and
which usually contains everything from
curl papoi'fl to her marriage cortUleuto ,
or tucking it away along with hulf u
hundred bumplos , her lutch keya and
small change , In her portomonnnio.
Jewellers Imvo wlso instincts , notice
quickly and cater well to sweet woman's
whims. They understand that there is no
use in remonstrating with women and
explaining that it is their own fault that
their watches never keep accurate time
and are constantly in need of repair. No ;
they philosophically set about making
little purses aud card cases with u separ
ate apartment for the watch and an aper
ture In the outside through which the
hands may bo seen ; they sot them in the
bracelets to bo clasped about the wrist ;
introduce them into the handles of um
brellas ; they bury them in the heart of
flower petals with u pin at the back , and
last of all they huvo produced the wo
man's dear delight the chatelaine.
This octopus arrangement of silver or
gold pins on ut the slue or slides over the
bolt or winds girdle-wise about her waist ,
but in any event it keeps the watch
swaying and banging against ail the
other knives and smelling bottles and
shears and things with which she burdens -
dons herself In u perfectly delightful
way , which is warranted to thwart the
purpose of the Ixwt disposed timepiece
over manufactured.
There Is only ono other way In which
she shows her ingenuity to bolter ad
vantage than In the manner of watch
management. She can think of few
more things to do with u cross baby than
she can with n watch , but not many.
How Mr * . Leslie Succeeded.
Shall I conllde to you that t , who claim
to be a business woman , and at the same
tlmo appreciate the comforts and lux
uries of life as much as most persons , I
lu.vsclt have made it a nractieo for vears
to rise at 7 , no matter how few hours I
had boon in bed , refresh myself with u
cold bath , breakfast , and bo in my oillco
al ! ) o'clock or teen after , there to re
main , generally lunchconlcss , until 4 in
the afternoon ? writes Mrs. Frank Leslie
in the Ladles'Homo Journal.
1 do not enjoy it nearly so much as I
should a different order of things , but I
had a sacred trust to fulfill ; my husband
had left it in my hands to rehabilitate
his name , and build up again u business
shattered through no fault of his. It was
a gigantic undertaking , and I throw my
self into it so completely that I thought
by day and dreamed by night of nothing
else , and was for a time no longer a
woman , but an embodied idea.
Of course I succeeded ; that sort of ef
fort generally does succeed ; but , without
a particle of bolt-conceit , I will say that
I do not think many men in my position
would have boon able to make that suc
cess. A good many women could huvo
huvo done it as well as I , no doubt ; but
few men could have borne the ordeal.
The Ilonitty ol' the Matron.
The notion still hold by certain shal
low women that maturity is ugliness is
ono of the most incomprehensible pieces
of nonsense of the time. Hero is a fair
muddler in ono of our contemporaries
complimenting Mine. Albani on having
overcome her matrouliness and on the
renewed girlishncss of her appearance.
From this I should judge , that women
who live on public exhibition fear noth
ing so much ab development , says the Now
York Truth. If they can only
stay all their lives in u lisp
ing and glutinous sweetness and
pot grow they are satisfied. To get on
in appearance , or in character , or in
strength is u calamity. In this oxtruor-
.linary view of things u green coddling
is better than a ripe pippin. Women
who exhibit themselves have but ono
standard of merit and that is youth.
Poor creatures , they do not know that
Lho pretty girl ought to become the
liandsomo woman , and never reaches her
splendor until she is u matron. They
cannot comprehend the fact that lixed
beauty lias no existence except in death ,
ind oven then only when the embalmer
lias put in his worlc. The law of beauty
in life is the law of development and at
tainment , and the beauty of a matron
ind the beauty of a miss differ from each
) ther as ono star diil'ors from another
in glory and , curiously enough , the
older the star the more beautiful it bo-
comes.
Women who think of nothing but how
hey shall stay young are women of
charactorlesb minds. All things con
sidered , the greatest woman is she who
can grow old gloriously , and defy time
vith something bettor than enamel.
3ut your woman who is professionally on
exhibition lias got to bring to the mar-
tot what the public most desires. And
t is u patent fact that the mob would
athor look at the pubtrynoss of youth
.ban . ut the perfection of personality. It
s tliis popular instinct that makes ox-
liblting women starve themselves ,
enamel themselves , prison themselves ,
estrict their functions- suppress their
nincls , and crucify their bodies.
Athletic Girls.
When wo moot boys and girls , cspoci-
illy girls , outside a gymnasium , wo won-
lor if that sort of training is doing them
rood , says the Boston Herald. Cerlainlv
hero are no visible evidences ; they walk
ilong as meekly as lambs , and I have yet
0 see a girl or woman jump on or oli'a
street car or spring over a muddy
crossing , though bo many girls
can do moro than that in
1 public hall before thousands
of spectators. In seeing those youilg
vomen exercising with Indian clubs , I
vondcred why any any ono should be un
graceful if such a drill as that wore poa-
ilblo , why girls do not curry themselves
letter than they do , and if I had ever
not these limber and graceful creatures
n the street. The young women who
umped ever horizontal bars and swung
.honibolvos like acrobats , head down-
vard , showed that proper training might
lovelop any woman Into a model of
nthletlo grace. It has been a scorn
ind roproadh for women that- they
could not climb u stone a wall nor
un upstairs without losing their breath ,
nit all things are possible under -this
raining , and , in spite of petticoats , no
gymnasium pupil can now hoaitato to go
lown u lire-escape nor to cross a Hold oc
cupied by cows of u too inquiring dispo-
ition. This good , if no other , grows out
of physical development , and though the
children of today still look tig thin and
mlo tib ever , the children of tomorrow
ire bound to show grout Improvement in
joiio and muscle , thanks to this now
culture. There are other ways of 1m-
iroving the human race , but until the
vorld dares undertake them send the
veuklings'to gymnasiums and lot them
earn how to use their arms and legs.
AVImt to Touoli Voting Women.
A mother writes to. mo : "What shall
touch my daughter ? " This ono hu-
wrtant and tremendous fact , my sister :

The little glvls of our families must bo

our American society is that our young

s inhuman and cruel for any father or

ity for earning thalr livelihood. Mndamo

fact that I huvo facility in

woman , belonging to u lurgo family , to

Nine "Women to Uiio Man.
All travelers who go to Paraguay
speak of the remarkable preponderance
of women over men , writes u correspond
ent of the Now York Tribune. The
estimates differ greatly , some writers
making the ratio nine women to one man ,
and others four or live to one ; but the
country is inhabited mainly by women ,
three-fourths of the men having boon
killed in the recent disastrous war.
.Women are the workers in the
Hold the common laborers. Every
peasant woman raises the mai/o and
mandioca required for feeding her fam
ily. Men cut wood , tend cattle , drive to
market and smoke cigarettes , but the
bulk of the farm work is done by women.
The tea and tobacco industries are almost
wholly carried on by women. Paraguay
is u paradise for lazy men , for they are
lords of creation there , and women not
only wait upon them submissively , but
labor arduously under u tropical sun for
their maintenance and support. Immi
gration is ardently desired in order to
effect u restoration of the normal pro
portions of the soxos. A progressive
railway policy , it is assumed in Asun
cion , will involve the speedy settlement
of the country , and will open the way
for an era of prosperity. Certainly un
happy Paraguay deserves , , after all
its misfortunes , brighter prospects in
the future. The pathos of its history
touches every sympathetic heart. It
has been the unhappiest of countries.
Unless all signs fail , it will have peuco
and prosperity hereafter.

porter of the Massachusetts Mercury ,
Ono hundred years ago ninety at

Mercury was one of the most influential
journals published in the United States ,
and numbered among its contributors
many of the leading men of the day. It
was started January 1 , 175 ( ) , as u tri
weekly by Alexander Young and Samuel
Ktheridge. In the course of a year the
junior partner retired and Thomas
Minns cume into the establishment.
They tried to make the Mercury high-

The tobacco habit , In common with ninny
other usages of our t 0 nnd tlmo , serve ? as n
check upon our advancing civilization , lest
perhniM wo should rlso too. rapidly In the
scnlo of mental aad physical cxcollcjico. As
n ruco we arc great with It , bat wo would bo
greater nnd hnpplhr without It. Used otherwise
tluui incdlcliwlljvtho prnctlco cannot , really ,
bo too severely ponsurod. As a drug , how
ever , It holds a High rank lu the list of roino-
dial nRonU < The primary effects of tobacco
on the human system are to depress the ttorvo
force , wcnlccn the heart and relax the mus
cles. Such results are sometimes to bo de
sired when the functions of certain organs
nro exalted by disease , but when we nro lu
hi the "even tenor" of health , never.
Tobacco smoke U n local Irritant , producing
Inflammatory secretion In the glands of the
nose nnd throat. This vitiates mid partially
occludes the nlr p-issu cs , and clTorts at expelling -
polling It Increase the iuflaininator y trouble.
Some persons nro especially susceptible to
this , but ( is a rule , habitual smokers keep up
n moro or loss constant spewing of foul In
spissated spltllu. It is claimed tobacco of
Itself never causes organic dhoaso , but only
function : ) ! disturbance. Well , what of t'ui tl
Wo live ou our functions , and that It docs not
cause organic disease is opi'n to doubt.
An organ's "function" is the work it 1ms
to do , if that work is poorly doiio or not
done at nil , what becomes of thu organ I Docs
It suitor nothing for neglect of duty !
Tobacco relaxes the muscles I that is , It
makes the strong , resisting inusclo weak and
Jluccid. This inilucuco Is , of course , most
marked in the young , uud in those prodhposcd
to nervous disorders. But it affects all alike ,
differing only in the tlegrco of its harmful-
ncss. Under Its power the mind is ns torpid
as the wilted muscles consequent to the sense
of rcposo felt while smoking. The spirits of
the smoker Hags nnd ho loses his buoyancy
nnd vivacity. Brain workers , if they use to
bacco , find tholr work done to more ndvnn-
tairo during intervals of abstinence from the
habit. It certainly makes men sociable to
smoke , but the most agreeably sociable per
sons nro these wno do not use tobacco. In
the process of smoking , an oil is evolved in
the combustion of the tobacco , and being car
ried in the smoke , tills oil deposits on the
skin. So if .smoking gives unction to the
manners , it gives unctuousness to the coun-
tcnnncc. It produces u tobacco cured skin.
Beyond uuy question of doubt smoking is
injurious to the eyes , causing nmblyopia , or
dimness of vision. Tills it effects not by di
rectly injuring the optic nerve , but by sur
charging the line blood vessels , thus
causing n watery effusion into the tissues
of the eye nnd interfering \yith the refraction
of objects to thu ucrvo disc. And again it
stimulates the tear glnnd , the secretion pours
out in undue quantity , itching nnd rubbing
of the eyes follow , mid give them u rod and
inflamed nppcarance , red "windows of the
soUl. " Do you think the soul looks out
through intlamed eyes } If it docs it Is u very
miserable looking soul. Clergymen , lawyers
or singers think perhaps they can smoku with
impunity. But by this means they arc robbed
of that sweetness of voice , clearness of com
plexion , nnd brightness of oyc , which are at
tractive hi all , tint powerful in the public
speaker or singer. But , pcrhapj , ono thinks
in these degenerate days there lire few who
appreciate "supi'rual bcaut3nnd "majestic
mon. " Butnotso Wo should strive to bo
us acceptable as nature will make us. Man
pays instinctive houiago to whatever approaches
preaches the idc.il of natural perfection.
Again the tobAecb habit confirms the mind
in the bondage nf the Ilesli. Every little au-
noynnco must be met by the solacing pipe ,
cigar or cigarette. There is not much play
of intellect in tlio face of the excessive
smoker. His mind is seen not to dominate
the body. The lffcs | of the face fall into space
denoting apathy , and a desire for not too
much mental woilc.
The use of tobacco in any form cannot bo
practiced in moderation. Ask the theologians
if you can sin' moderately within lawful
bounds. We arc.just ? ns amenable to the laws
of the tlesli as to tlie laws of the spirit. When
wo smoke wo go * "tho way of all Ilesli. " Wo
try indeed , to effect a compromise between
the good and evil inherent in our nature.
Does ( Jed tcmporbc with the devil t
That it is nn nm lcm : habit wo Imvo seen.
The person who use 5 tobacco as a disinfectant
will soon liavo need of a disinlectant. The
smoker is a marked man , a disligured man.
We see then how much is sacriilced to the
subtle inllncncc of the cigar.
Now , I have said but little for or against
the delicious and iicriiicious. weed. It is very
useful medicinally , whether in one torni or
nnother , and it is to bo hoped that , in the not
distant future , when wo smoke it will bo
upon the advice of our physician ; that wo
will go regularly to the doctor , and have him
prescribe -'cigar" as he would u remcdj for
"la grippe.1
Gentle rvitdcr , the writer aims not these
shafts at you. Ho belongs to his ago anil
