WOMEN AS FASTENS.]
WRITER SAYS THEIR REPUTATION
IS UNDESERVED.
Man. the Urine Man. lilt* In Absten
tion from Food — Incttlalile Appetite
Not the Invariable And Peculiar
property of Hi* Sex.
Lenten season, when the fair peni
tent prepares to mortify and melt the
flesh made too, too solid by long de
votion to the rites of high living, it is,
perhaps, pertinent to consider the na
ture and proportions of her self-sacri
fice. It is assumed that if she does not
fast she will at least abstain—-not nec
essarily from flesh meat, but from va
rious little gratifications of the palate
more or less connected with the con
fectioners' industry, if she does not
forego chops and birds sho will cer
tainly eschew caramels and shun the
cup that cheers of an afternoon, along
with the modern accompaniments.
But we will suppose that she really
fasts in the orthodox Lenten meaning
of the word, taking but one full ineal
on fast days and sustaining life
chiefly on light collations, yet with,
oh, what an appetite of a Sunday!
What then? Why, the chances are
iliat her friends, who never in all their
lives, unless very sick in bed, missed
llie customary three meals a day, will
look upon her as little less than a
martyr. Then the family physician
will he consulted, and there will be
grave shakings of the head as to her
physical condition. Is she not the vic
tim of religious enthusiasm? is she
not trifling with her health?
And man where does he eome in?
Man, the mere brute. Does he ever
last, be he idler or bread carver? What
a question, to tie sure? Who does not
know his ways? Has not tradition as
serted the direct route to his heart Is
through his stomach? "Feed the
brute!” enjoins the mother of the
young wife who asks for domestic ad
vice. And the general laughter that
greets the answer shows how the pop
ular mind has long been made up on
the subject o? the most characteristic
i masculine failing.
And yet. and yet, dear young lady,
may we not. be doing men an injustice?
I Is an insatiable appetite the invariable
I and peculiar property of iiis sex? Of
woman's repressed development we
have heard a thing or two. Sometimes
it gets into print that through the
ages she has been forcibly detained in
the background; that her Easter hat
would lie larger within if not without—
had the natural cerebral expansion
been permitted. There are women
who. to prove this, cut off their hair
and wear hats at Easter evidently not
modeled with reference to adornment
alone. Could eelf-sacritiee to an idea
go further?
And man. May he not have his
grievance, too? Pursued from boyhood
with pies, coddled into old age with
rakes, coaxed and flattered with the ef
feminate products of the kitchen, bull
dozed with puddings, his higher moral
nature put to sleep with seductive pas
try—may we not inquire whether his
suppositious cravings for these things
is not founded cn a purely feminine
conception? Who is it but man who,
when unrestrained and following his
natural promptings, turns to tobacco—
next to food the most effectual de
stroyer of hunger?
Who. in fact, are the real fasters
both In practice and in theory?
Why, men.
In Dr. Tanner the sex has perhaps
its most illustrious example of its own
true promptings. Outside the records
of pathology, did you ever hear of a
female faster on this scale? Who if
the most conspicuous advocate of the
two meals a day idea? Mark Twain.
What was the sex of the student at
Phillips Andover who fasted a whole
week because it seemed a good thing
to do? Not female.
A Chicago enthusiast for a long
time lived on nothing but deep inspi
rations of air and a few apples. Need
less to remark he wore trousers. Still
another Western man is widely known
as the author of a book in which he
insists that one meal a day the year
around is ample for anybody, he him
self joyfully adhering to the practice.
And there is the Rev. John J. Eberle
of Pottstown, Pa., recently deceased,
who since I860 had followed a similar
plan to his own satisfaction.—Toledo
Bee.
Too Good to 1-040.
He fell on his neck and reminded
him of the eood old times. He men
tioned the old playmate, and spoke
tenderly of those who were dead.
After the fifth one they were as long
lost brothers, and so he ventured it.
“Sam.” he said, “lend me $50 till to
morrow. I’m a good friend of yours.'
•'You are.” tHe other murmured with
enthusiasm. “You are the playmate of
infancy, the friend of youth, and the
inspiration of manhood’s happy hours,
but,” and a strange sadness crept into
his voice so that it vibrated like the
tones of some rich instrument, “I can t
lend you $50, Bill. You’re too good a
friend to lose.”

/. Prophecy of 1834.
The Motor World rerirliirs an Inter
esting old picture, drawn In 1S34, and
intended as a more or less serious pic
torial prophecy <,f what would exist
100 years later. The sky is filled with
airships of various kinds, none of
them, apparently, as practical as that
of Santos-Dumont. On the roads au‘o
mobiles are living in all directions,
some of the models bping strikingly
like those of today. In one corner is
represented a man with a van on
which there is the sign, "Walk up!
Walk up! Rare exhibition to be seen
here' A live horse, supposed to be the
very last of the race!" Even the
houses, stores and public buildings
are on wheels.
Hasn't Education Helped Them?
The records of the male students of
the colored hi.-’li school of Richmond,
Va.. who were graduated in the ten
years, 18883-93, have now been added
by the Richmond Reformer to ihose
of the graduates of tbe preceding ten
years. There were seventy men in the
late period, eleven < 1 whom have died.
The others are found to be in various
respectable occupations, doing credit
ably in the world. No criminals or
paupers among the entire lot are re
ported. in view of these facts, the
Reformer, an organ cf the colored race,
pertinently asks if "education spoils
the negro?”

years ago. For two years he doctored
witu local physicians as well as sev
eral specialists from Buffalo, but got
no better. Indeed he was gradually
growing worse.
He stopped taking the doctors’ medi
cine and commenced a treatment of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. He used in all
about ten boxes and Is as strong and
well to-day as ever lie was.
He attributes his recovery to noth

"If 1 could only talk five minutes to
every one who has Diabetes I am sure
1 could convince them that they need
n't suffer a moment longer when
Dodd's Kidney Pills are on sale in ev
ery drug store.
“I will cheerfully answer any letters
from sick men or women, as I think
every Diabetes sufferer should be told
of Dodd's Kidney Pills, the remedy
that saved my life.”

What used to l>e called female diseases
ly the medical profession is now culled
pelvic catarrh. It has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases > f the

1 >r. Hartman was nioug the first of
America's great physicians to mube this
ill emery. For forty years be has been
■ treating disen-es peculiar to women, and
long ago bo roa lied the conclusion that
a woman entue'y free from catarrhal
affection of those organs would not tie
subject to female disease. He therefore
began using l’eruna for these ca-es and
found it so admirably adapted to their
permanent cure that I’erimn lias now be
come the most famous remedy for female
diseases over known Everywhere the
women are lining it and praising it.
l’eruna is not a palliative simply; it
cures by removing the cause of iemale
disease
Ur. Hartman has probably cured moro
women of female ailments than any other

simply bv using and recommending Feruim.
