It li well know that fotnalcs nro

ing populiitlon , anil this fact , if It wcro a
necessary niul permanent one , would
tend to wcnkon the holcctlvo ngoncyof
women , an It undoubtedly docs now.
Hut there Is good reason to bellovo that
It will not bo a pcrmiuicnt feature of
our population , write1" A. \Vnlltico in
the Fortnightly Review. The births

Idly than fjlrla thutvhcn \vo include nil

ncnrly equal. For the next IIvo years the
mortality Is nearly the Muno In both
Boxes ; then that of females preponder
ates up to thirty yours of ago , then up
toBlxly thatof men is the largor.whilo for
the rest of life fcmulo mortality Is again
greatest. The general result is that at
the ngcs of most frequent mnrriago
from i0 ! to 3"i females are between 8 and
9 per cent. In excess of males. But dur
ing the ages from 5 to 35 wo 11 nd a won
derful excess of male deaths from two
preventable cmihcs "accident" and
"violence. " For the year 1S88 the
death from thcbo causes in England and
Wales werons follows : Mules , (5 ( to 35
yearn , ) -1,158 ; females , (5 ( to 35 yearn , )
1,100. ,
Hero wo have an excess of mnlo over
frtnalo deaths in one year of 3OoS , nil
between the ages of live anil thirty-five ,
iv very largo portion ot which is no
doubt duo to the greater risks
run by mon and boys in various
Industrial occupations. In a btato of
Bociety in which the built of the popula
tion were engaged in industrial work it
Is quite certain that almost all of these
deaths would bo prevented , and thus
bring the male population more nearly
to an equality with the female. But
there are albo many unhealthy employ
ments in which men are exclusively engaged -
gaged , such as the grinders of Shoflleld ,
the white lead manufacturers , and many
others ; and many more men have their
lives ( shortened by labor in unvcutilatcd
workshops , to say nothing of the loss of
life in war. "Wh'on the lives of all its
citizens are accounted of equal value to
the community no one will ho allowed to
Millar from such preventable causes as
these , and this will still further reduce
the mortality of men as compared with
that of women. On the whole , then , it
teems highly probable that in the so-
clotyof the future the superior numbers
of males at birth will bo maintained
throughout life , or , at all events , during ;
what may bo termed the marriageable
period. ' 1'his will greatly increase the
inllucnco of women in the improvement
of the race. licing a minority , they
will bo moro sought after and will have
n real choice In marriage , which is
rarely the case now. This actual min
ority being further increased by those
who , from the various causes already
referred to. abstain from marriage , will
cause considerable numbers of mon to
remain permanently unmarried , and as
these will conbist very largely , if not
almost wholly , of those who are the
least perfectly developed either mun-
tally or physically , the constant advance
of the race In every good quality will
bo insured.
Tor Your llncliclor FrlcnrtH.
Gills who have been the recipients of
numerous attentions from their men
friumls are no longer called upon to suf
fer the uncertainties that formerly besot
them when the time comes to testify ap
preciation with small souvenirs presen
ted at Christmas or on birthdays. It
Used to ben serious matter to think up
suitable gifts for a man. If ono hap
pened to achieve popularity with the
inir&ox his ingenuity was bovoroly taxed
to know what disposition to make of the
Ecores of shaving sots , slippers , mou-
choir cases , and pen wipers that threat
ened to deluge him , Miys the Now York
Sun. Some years ago , after the death
of a famous phybiciaii , his wife In look
ing over his oiTectH , counted thirty odd
embroidered smoking caps sent by his
feminine admirers , together with un
limited Uboless needlework her husband
had never oven removed from their ori-
pinal wrappings. "With much tact the
lady gave the entire lot to a fancy
charity bazaar going on the towu at that
time.
But men have changed , and their
necessities are tenfold moro complex
than of old. For instance , the bachelors ,
thofco who live in apartments , they are
grateful for almost any little trillo that
adds to the luxury of their menage.
Nearly all of thorn do a bit of i > orfuiict-
ory housekeeping , and give afternoon
teas In their chambers during the Boa-
eon. In the glabs corner cupboards
fitted into the wall they are , therefore ,
happy to add dainty teacups and decora
ted plates to their carefully selected
stock of china. Silk tea cases , embroid
ered doylies , divan pillows , and prettily
outlined tray cloths are among
the inoxpeiiblyo presents a young
woman may give with propriety.
If the friendship Is of long htanding , or
the obligations on her Pido are many and
heavy , a piece of sliver may bo war
ranted. Then her selection of ylfts is
vastly extended. She may choose a fat
ropoiibso cream jug , a hammered silver
fiugnr bowl , an ungraved dioh for bonbons
bens or tea leaves ; or , again , from the
mli-colhuieouH counter whore silver ink-
Btands , loving cups , picture frames and
candloytleka are told , u choice bit of
Doultoa or a cut crystal llower bowl is
admissible under the circumbtances
named , but the lady should always make
buro that her olToring Is buggestlve of
the daintiness of Us femininedonor. .
Cos-Illness is no longer prohibited la an
exchange of gifts , but etiquette that dic
tates in such matters is quite as btrln-
gent as to the style of presents men and
women glvo each other.
It Is not a bad idea for these women
who have been entertained on yachts to
bear In in I nil the keen appreciation with
which tlio captain receives the pretty
trlllcs intended to ndd to the interior
beauty of his boat. An embroidered
deck cushion , a { jay afghan , a silk and
lace hluulo to temper the cajln lumps ,
are all useful and acceptable.
Hut possibly the nowcbt and most flat
teringly Individual of tricks a hello can
bcbtow is the pocket or toilet table glove
mondor. It Is a round , heavy sliver
ring , two Inches and a half indimnotor ,
having the man's full name and the date
of its presentation engraved on its pol
ished surface. Two dozen or moro
Btnuuls of viiri-colorcd sowing silks are
then looped ever the ring uud plaited la
a gny brntd. Next n pair of ttny fcls-
sorsaro dependent from the silver bar
by lengths of narrow blue ribbon. A big
bow of very much wider ribbon of the
same shade has ono loop cunningly fash
ioned into a miniature button bag , the
other furnished with a pocket for the
silver thimble , while both ends nro util
ized as needle cose ? . Nothing could bo
moro complete , and never will the bach
elor bless Ids woman friend so fervently
as when , In n tearing hurry , the little
inendor bobs up to supply his Impatient
neoJa.
Kate of Two Hwrot Girl Grail untes.
Two aweot girl graduates wont forth
lo walk In tno woods , says Harper's
Uu/nr. In their -holiday mood all roads
wore ono to them , and when theycaino
to a cross-roads they txirncd Into It. A
hunter who happened to bo standing
nearspoko to them ,
"Don't tnko that roadyoung women , "
ho said , "It isn't safe. "
"Why Isn't it nafo ? " asked the sweetest
of the girl graduates , incredulously.
"llocuuso u bear lias lately gene up
that way. "
"How do you know that ? Did you
see the bear ? "
"No , I didn't see him ; but there Is his
trail , ' ' and the hunter pointed to some
footprints on the ground.
The girl graduates carefully examined
the trucks , and said ono to the other :
"They don't look like the prints of a
bear's paw. Do you think they are ? "
"Don'tboliovo him , " wild the other.
"I don't think they look u bit like bear
tracks. "
"Do you know a boar trail when you
see It ? ' ' queried the hunter.
"If you mean the print of a bear's
paws on the ground , ' ' said ono of the
graduates , with a lofty air , "I am sure
anyone could tell what they would look
like. "
Did you ever sec the tracks of a bear ? "
repeated the hunter.
"No , " replied the girl graduate , "but
natural hlbtory gives us the conforma
tion of a bear's paws , and the commonest
mental operation would teach us from
that what their tracks would look like.
1 don't think thcso look the least like
the footprints of a bear. Bears have
claws , and there are no marks of claws
hero. "
"Who ever heard of n bear without
claws ? " said the other girl graduate ,
with a withering glunco at the hunter.
"What kind of trucks bo they , then ,
miss ? " asked the hunter.
"Indeed I don't know , " returned ono
of the sweet girl graduates , supercili
ously. "They certainly are not the
tracks of a bear. "
"Besides , " added the other sweet girl
graduate , "who ever heard of bears
- roads ? "
walking- along
Tlio hunter's ' stock of argument as well
as words were limited , and ho said noth
ing. The sweet girl graduates went on
their way.
They had not gene far when a bear
sprang upon thorn and ate them up. The
only parts of their anatomy not masti
cated beyond Identity wcro their tongues ,
which , finding tough , the bear had
swallowed whole. Before the process of
digestion fairly began these found tfmo
for a few words :
"They were bear tracks , after all , "
said one.
"And suppose they wcro , " replied the
otheV , "how were wo to know ? "
modern Women Who Soar.
The most 'notablo advances made in
recent years have been by women , says
the Pittsburg Commorehd-Giuctto.
They have rifccn so rapidly that there is
danger of them coming down like the
stick that goes up with the rocket.
"Women are not like they used to bo.
In some respects the change has boon
for the bettor and in &oino it hasn't. An
old bachelor writing on this phase of
tlio subject says :
"Things wcro different when wo were
boys. In those distant days women were
mostly angels. Nowadays women are
mostly journalists , clerks , typewriters
and medical fatudonts. The male person
thinks it is bettor to bean angel than a
medical student ; but the ladies do not
euro a bit what the male person thinks.
At least , BO they say , and it would bo
rude to disbelieve them.
'When wo wore boys the girls were
all anxious to got married. Nowadays
they are too proud to got married , and
too highly cultured to take babies seri
ously. What they want Is to get
divorced.
"When wo were boys the girls used to
stay at homo and dam our socks1 and
sow buttons on our shirts. Nowadays
the girls ride on the outside of 'busses ,
and look angry when male persons
smoke. Not bo long slnco an advanced
lady tumbled olT the top of n 'bus into
the street and got some mud on her
frock , and the male persons said it was a
judgment on her for not riding insido.
That was rude and unsympathoticou the
part of the male persons. "
Tlio probabilities are that women will
continue to soar for some time to eomo ,
and may oven attempt to establish petti
coat i ulo in church and state , as well as
in society , but the result will bo as it al
ways has been heretofore.
In the course of time , however , they
will como doivn and agico to inakoa fair
divide of the duties and responsibilities
of life. This may not occur for half a
century or more , but it will como by
and by.
Lot her soar , and lot her reign and
rule to her heart's content. She will
tire of it sooner If you lot her have her
own way than if you sfight her. She
loves man too well and is too proud of
the man she loves to tyrannize over him
very long.
When she does return to earth she will
probably settle down to housekeeping1
and home-building.
Modern Bonillcens.
Among the modern Boadiccas who
have within the past quarter of a cen
tury "taken the field" with sword and
shield as olllcorsof cavalry regiments
with a fearlessness and daring unex
celled by men , the Now York Sun
enumerates the Gorman Empress Dow
ager Victoria , princess rojal of Great
Britain and Ireland ; the duchoHs of
Edinburgh , Grand Duchess Marie Alex-
androvna , of Hiihbhi , and the mother of
the duehobs of Connuught , the widowed
Princess Frederick Charles of I'rusbia.
Each of the ladles was distinguished
from other dashing olllcors of regiments
simply by the woman's short riding skirt
rather than from lack of skill or bravery
in command. The prcbont German em
press takes a moro active interest in
military iilTalrs than almost any royal
lady in Kurope has manifested of Into.
At a review of the regiment of culms-
Biers slio led her regiment past the em
peror in a riding habit of white cashmere -
mere , with a uniform jacket having on
the collar and shoulders the red and sil
ver colors of the regiment , and a three-
cornered white hat with drooping feath
ers. She rides superbly anil remained
on horseback many hours during the ro-
vlow , aiiponrlng at lunch afterward In

I'lcotrlu Cornets.
It is a writer in the Boston Herald who
says : I've always been opposed to this
promiscuous courting ; this vicious sys
tem which permits a young man without
any intentions to waste a girl's time with
his attentions. At last I have devised a
remedy , The electrical corbot solves the
illllleulty. It will no longer be possible
for u younpr man to blip his arm around
a girPs waist or lay his head upon her
bhouldor without giving the alarm. The
"tlng-a-llng-llnp" will ln lnntly bring
her pii , ma or big brother Into the room ,
and the offender will bo summarily
ejected. The electrical corset has a
great future. Its Inllucnco upon the
moral tone of society is destined to bo
Incalculable.Vo shall have no moro
of thcso hnsty marriages which end so
speedily In the divorce courts. Many a
young man , under the Inspiration of the
moment , when his nrm Is encircling n
girl's waist , breathes a love which ho
would otherwise have left untold. This
is all wrong. The electric coi ot will
put an end most clVcctunlly to this prac
tice.

The Concern About Daughters.
The problem of the future of our eons

provided only that health , Intellectual
power , and moral integrity are theirs ,
writes Mrs. Helen E. Starrett in the
Forum. "An open Held and a fair
fight. " "Wo rojolco that we are past the
day whan considerations of rank or
class or social prestige fettered the free
ictlvlty of sons bora Into homes of cul

Tor them loss of property or wealth. ButTer

Frauloin von Chauvln. the Gorman
lady scientist in natural history , attract
ed much 11 atlorhi" ' attention nt there-
cent congress at Berlin , whore she oven
had her place next to Virchow , says the
London Queen. Prnuloin von Clmuvin ,
having been prevented through ill-
health from going through the regular
school routine , including languages , has
concentrated all her interest in the
study of observations of animal and veg
etable life. She has , by her ingenious
experiments and discoveries proved her
self a natural scientist of the first class ,
and enjoys a wide and general reputa
tion as such.
Her aviary is a regular Noah's ark ;
whore she , as she says , by her love
forces the most different animals to live
peaceably together. Vultures , pigeons ,
r.ivens , owls , fowls , n parrot , a stork ,
peacocks , ducks , etc. , all got on togeth
er in the best possible manner , and know
and obey the voice of their mistress. A
Siamese cat has its quarters in the sarno
cage as some Egyptian rats ; but they
take no notleo of each other. Frauloin
von Chuuvin's collection of butter files is
the most perfect in Germany. Also
within the vegetable world this gifted
lady has wrought many wonders , and she
lias reared flowers anu seeds where no
botanic garden has succeeded. Her
health does not allow her to read or
write much , but ono or two of her trea
tises has attracted great attention.
Women Writers.
In an article in the Century , on
'Woman in American Literature"Miss
Helen Gray Cone says : "Tho irrespon
sible feminine free liinco , with her gay
dash at all subjects , and nor illitorativo
pen name dancing in every inoleo like a
brilliant pennon , has gene over into the
moro appropriate field of journalism.
Q'ho calmly adequate literary matron of
all work Is an admirable typo of the past ,
no longer developed by the now condi
tions. The articles of the Into Lucy M.
Mitchell on sculpture , and Mrs. Schuy-
ler van Ilonsselaor on art and archi
tecture ; the historical work of Martha
J. Lamb and of the lamented Mary L.
Uooth , the latter also an indefatigable
translator ; the studicsof Helen Campbell
in social science ; the translations
of Harriet Waters Preston these few
examples nro typical of the dotormina-
tlon and concentration of woman's work
nt the present day. Wo notice in each
now issue of a magazine the well-known
specialists. Miss Thomas has given her
self to the interpretation of nature , in
prose as in vor&o ; "Olive Thorno" Miller
to the loving study of bird llfo. Mrs.
Jackson , the most versatile of later
writers , possessed the rare combination
of versatility and thoroughness in such
measure that wo might almost copy
Hnrtly Coleridgo'ssnying of Harriet Mar-
tinoau , and call her a specialist about
everything ; but her tiumo will bo associ
ated with the earnest presentation of the
wrongs of the Indian , as that of Emma
Lazarus with the impassioned defense of
the rights of the Jew.
"Woman In I'ubllo Iiifc.
The manner of womor's entry into pub
lic lifo has , I hold , alToctod mischiev
ously their attitude toward public affairs ,
says a writer in the Westminster Re
view. It has confirmed In them a tend-
oncv already fostered by the commonly
used form of speech regarding the sex ,
lo consider themselves us superior beIngs -
Ings , with u general mission to reform
the world and to instruct mankind at
large how to bohuvo. I should bo the
last to deny that women have something
to teach , something to show , something
to add to the sum of human wisdom , or
that many of the affairs which men have
sadly bungled can bo settled otherwise
than by the intervention of women and
by the acceptance ot their counsel and
help It does not follow that there is
any reason for the adoption of superior
airs on the part of women generally
merely because they are women. The
nttltudo is not becoming and tends to
make the enemy blaspheme. The calmly
dogmatic tone so often assumed by these
who pose as spokesmen of their sex Is not
a little trying to such of their follow
women as happen to possess u sense of
humor or of the fitness of things.

AVHICH IS TllH MOTJIUK ?
A Very Dlflleult Question Assumes n
Most PcrplexliiR 1'liasc.
Which is the mother of the chick the
hen that lays the egg , or the hen that
hatches it ? This is a question just de
cided by Justice McMuuon of Parkvillo ,
a small but interesting suburb of the
City of Churches , says the Now York
TribuneIt is the llrst case of the kind
known to have Iwon brought Into court ,
and by reason of its unique importance
the trial has occupied much of the time
of the presiding justice. The facts are
that n Farmer MeCaughn and Farmer
Gormloy are next door neighbors' , their
henneries adjoin each other. Farmer
MeCaughn owns choice game hlrdsj but
the fowls balonglng to his neighbor are
of the ordinary farmyard standard. It
was testified to that ono of Farmer Me-
Ganglia's lions scrambled over the fence
and indiscreetly , , if not wickedly and
feloniously , did lay two eggs , at divers
times , on Farmer Gormloy "s promises.
The triumphant note which heralded
this maternal aihiovomont aid not sug
gest to Farmer Gormloy tha propriety of
iiicking up thcf eggsand delivering them
into the possession of the owner of the
lion. On the contrary , ho promptly put
them under a sitting hen owned by him-
bolf , and in duo courts of time they were
hatched.
So soon ns their feathers and little red
combs begun to grow Farmer McCJaughn
observed tnat these dubious chickens
were full-blooded game birds , like thoho
of his own hennery , and ho made a de
mand for thorn. Farmer Gortnloy denied
the claim of ownership with emphasis
and disdain. Then Farmer MeCaughn
summoned his chicken-raising neighbor
before the court for trial , and Ibsucs was
joined. The question was not between
hen and hen , but between farmer and
farmer ; or , rather , it was a question ns
to whoso hen was the mother of the
chickens. Now ordinary common BOIISO
would suggest that ns the hatching of
chickens Is a moro mechanical pro
cess , ohiolly dependent upon caloric ,
as sclonco has demonstrated most
thoroughly , it Is not characteristic , or
nocobbarlly oven suggestive , of mother
hood. The slttlng-Iion is unquestionably
an olllcient incubator , and so too would
boa rooster , if you could got him to bit
long enough ; but who would presume to
say that a rooster could become-
mother , even if ho should hatch a doicn
broods ? Justlo : McMuhon has decided

How tlio Colonel anil tlio Major Pro
posed to Ijliildatc ( | 11 Hotel Hill.
A blue grass idyl has bjen circulating
through the southern society for several
days. It is a tnlo of two Kontuokians
ono a major , the othoi1 a colonel who ,
after a night of luck at poker , dotor-
inined to gratify an oft-expressed desire
to visit Now Yoric , says the Times of
that elty. They came , and after two
days of slght-seoiii } , ' the colonel sug
gested to the major that atrip to Now
"York would not bo complete without a
dinner at Delmonlco's. The major
agreed.
It was deemed that it would hardly bo
considerate to take Mr. Dolmonico un
awares , and in order to prepare him for
so unusual an event as a bwoll dinner for
two the Kentucky gentlemen went to the
restaurant early In the day , called for
the head waiter and told him what the v
wanted. "Spare no expense , " they wikl.
They dined at 0. It was a splendid
dinner. They tasted wines of all kinds
that they had never hoard of before.
They ate a great deal and drank a great
do.il , and told each other stories that
both know by heart. The banquet
lasted three hours.
They called for their bill. The waiter
placed a check , face down , on the inonii.
The gentlemen were toasting each other
as the waiter did this , and when they
placed their glasses on the table ho was
gono. They saw what appeared to them
a borup of paper on the menu and
brushed It off. The old follows were ig
norant of the customs of French restaur
ants , and they concluded that the mil mi
must bo the bill. The Colonel began to
figure up the prices , It bcemod
tlioy had oaten a great deal , but
tlio names of dishes were In a lan
guage unknown to them , and , anyway ,
they were not in a mood to bother about
trifles.
Hut the colonel gasped when ho , fig
ured up the total. It was $000.
"Great heavens , sahl" ho exclaimed to
the major. "It Is iUGO. If wo pay that
wo can t get back homo. "
"Wo might , " suggested the major ,
faintly , "wo might jump out of this win

"No , bah , " said the colonel , bringing
his list down on the table.Vo are
