William M. Stewart represents the greit
Rtato ot Nevada In the United States senate.
Ho has occupied n scat In the upper house
lor so long a period that hit memory balkci
when his iccord as nn embryo statesman
confirms him Ho was an actlvo partici
pant In the "crime of 1873. " He voted for
the act which "struck down silver In the
night , " and for thrco years thereafter ut
tered panegyrics on the beauties , benefits
nnd stability of the gold standard. 13ut a
change came over thu spirit of his speeches ,
beginning with the receding prlco of sil
ver In 1S7S , and his lamentations have In
creased In Intensity as his favorite metal
sank lower and lower In thu scale of value
It touches his pocket , therefore ho weeps
for himself primarily , for his country In
cidentally ,
Just now 'Senator Stewart Is a. patriot
with n big , P. Ho dreams of crimes by
night and spouts about them by day. Dls-
nstcr.H dire and dismal ruin fills his mind
and he sees no hope of relief unless the
country adopts free and unlimited coinage
ot silver. Ho sheds great gobs of tears for
11 o laboring men , mc&nwhllo ho la employ [ UK
the cheap labor of Alexandria , Va , , to print
Ills paper , In order to avoid the printers'
union scale of wages in Washington So
this great nnd good silver statesman , the
disinterested "friend of labor , " struts on
the political stage na the embodiment
of pure and lofty motives.
Thcro Is another sldo to the picture
These wllo Imagine that the Nevada sena
tor Is unmoved by self-interest are mis
taken. Of all the advocates of cheap dollars
lars , Senator Stewart has most at stake
Ilo Is Interested In silver mines In the
United States an I Mex.co. The latter mines
pay best by reason of cheap labor , hence
frco coinage of silver would materially In-
rroiso his millions. Success means much
to him. Ho would reall/e out of the tem
porary Increase In the prlco of bullion and
tiecuro a snug rake-oft from the reduced
cost of labor In his Amcilcnn mines.
STEWARTS MEXICAN MINES.
Mr. Walter 1) . Stevens , writing to the
SI. Louis Globe-Democrat from Crtallna ,
Mex. , has this to say concerning Senator
Steward's mining Interests In the free sil
ver republic
"Thu greatest silver producing mine today
In the Durnngo district. If not In the whole
republic of Mexico , Is lhat of which Senator
WUllam M. Stewart ot Nevada , U. S. A. .
Is president. It has Increased Its output
within clx months Previous to that time
tills mine was shipping an average of 150
tons of high giade ere weekly. Now the
shipments often reach 200 tons weekly. This
Is ono which runs from seventy to eighty
ounces of silver to the ton. That means
a product of about 14,000 ounces of silver
n week. This silver Is worth $1.29 an ounce
In Mexican money , which gives the value
of the product $15,000 to $18,000 weekly. If
silver was worth par , or $1.2D an ounce. In
American money , the value of the product
would be J15.000 to $18.000 a week on both
aides of the- Rio Grande 13ut with silver
worth only G3 cents an ounce In the States ,
nnd the1 Mexican dollar hovering between
GO cents and 51 cents , the value of this
-weekly product Is only one-half In Amer
ican money what It Is In Mexican. Not
withstanding the depreciation In silver , the
inlno is today one of the finest properties
In Mexico It is yielding a net profit to
stockholders of nearly $1,000 a day In Mexi
can dollars , which Is S500 In American
dollars now , but will bo * 1.000 a day In
American dollars If the United States adopts
frco coinage and It silver then goes to parity
with gold , ns Senntor Stewart thinks It
n ill.
"Catnllna. or San Catnlina , ns the reverent
natives call It , Is the llvllest station on
the Mexican International between Torreon
and Durango. It Is mido so by the business
whluh. Senator Stewart's mining company
brings there. Great wagons , each drawn by
twcl/o mules and carrying seven tons of
the precious ere , put up in sacks , come in
trains n quarter of a mile long. The con
tents of ten of these wagons will load three
cais. The wagons take back coal for the
hoisting works nnd the pumping engines
Tnore > Is no waste of axle grease The tnlnp
h not on the railroad It Is thlrty-ftve mllcj
away over the hills Perhaps that Is why so
llttlo Is known generally of its great pro
ductiveness. To the traveler who vluws
Mcxlro from the cnr windows there Is no
ovldoneo of what the International Mining
company of Washington , U. C. , is doing ,
beyond the continual coming and going of
the freighters nt Catallna.
MILLIONS IN IT.
"The mlno Is Known In this region aa the
Sun Miguel. It Is located In the state of
55-icatccns , but near the Durango boundary ,
nnd this station on the International rail
road is the best connection. A great ore
shed has been erected , whcro the sacks of
ere may bo stored under shelter If there
U a scarcity of cars Long switches and
othei facilities are provided by the com
pany , for the business entitles Senator
Stowaifa mining company to consideration.
The ere la transported SOO miles to the
smelter at Monterey. That It can bear the
freight charge on this trip , as well as the
rest of hauling from the mlno to the rail
road , nnd still pay such magnificent profits
In Mexican silver , Is the prcof of the pud
ding's richness With the seventy ounces
of silver there Is found n fifth of an ounce
of gold to the ton , which Is worth about
91 In American money and about $8 In
Mexican money. This fifth of nn ounce
of gold eovcia the cost of the hauling ol
the mo from thu mine to the railroad and
leaves enough to piy for the return load
of coal , It does so because the $1 25 a ton
for hcullng the 010 and ttio $225 a ton for
hauling the coal this thlrty-llvo miles nro
paid In Mexican money. If the same ratis
vvero paid In Ameilcan money the gold
would not pay for the hauling of the ere ,
leaving out of consideration tha coal ,
DOCS NOT ODJKCT TO GOLD ,
"Thn Intci national company makes n
gain nf $4 a tun on that fifth of an aunca
of gold by producing It tor the EO-cent dollar
lar nnd Belling It for the 100-cent dollar ,
Hut while there Is $1 In the balance on
tlin profit side , as things are now , the com
pany would make a creat deal more If it
could ttiin Its seventy ounces of silver In
every ton Into ninety dollars , worth $30
Instead of $45 , American money. If frco
coinage menus what President Stewart contends -
tends that It does , the elevation at silver
to purity with gold at a ratio of 10 to 1 , then
the Biicci'sa ot his cause would cut down
the K ° hl valuation from $3 ta $4 a ton , and
tilcvate the silver valuation from $45 to $90
a ton , President Slewait stands to make
$4 a ton on the gold In his ere If the elec
tion coen for McKlnley , and $15 a ton on
the silver If It coes for Dryan. The net
advantage- the free silver policy on n
ton of San Mlguul ere is therefore $41. The
mlno Is turning out 200 tons a week , t > QQ
toua a mouth , 3,000 tons a year. Free coin
age ) In thu States , therefore , means for the
San Miguel an Increase ) in the output's
value ot $3,100 a week , $3.,000 a month ,
$303.100 a year ,
STHSVART'S NET GAIN.
That la ono vray of looking at the problem
from Senator Stewart's standpoint. The
net gain to the senator and his associates
would not bq BO much. The 500 laborers
employed In the San Miguel mlno are paid
in Mexican roonoy. They are paid tbo samu
now lu 50-cent dollars that they were pa til
when those dollars were as good as gold.
U Is fair to presume that Senator Stewart ,
having paid thu same wages In dollars de
clining to a value of 50 cents , would contluuu
to pay the tame a * thu ilollara appreciate to
100 cents. Bo it nppeam that 1G to 1 does not
mean "all velvet" to the graudslro of Iho
liver party , Figuring on thla presumption
ot eutlro fairness by the Senator toward
thu plain jfcplo of Mexico In the matter of
ivacrs. it muit bo considered that U vtlll
takp a many 100-crnt dollars as It now takes
DQ-teui dullara to luluu , trontport and treat
tha San Miguel orej. Therefore , thu uot
( llfforcnco of $11 . UrajhpnllM only to th <
net profits on O/o / mtoet' lt
"San Miguel mlno Is now giving net profit !
of from $5000 to $7.000 a week In Mexlcar
dollars. That Is $2,500 to $3,500 In Amerlcar
dollars , atout $500 a day. Frco coinage bj
the United States , therefore , means to Sena'
tor Stewart , If ho believes hla own argir
ments , and to his fellow- stockholders of th (
International Mining company ot Washing'
ton , I ) . C , $1,000 a day Instead of the present
$ . " 00 a day profits on their shares In the Sar
Miguel. "
WORKING THE WORKINOMAN.
The Mexican snap serves to Illumlnati
Senntor Stewart's recent reference to thi
prosperity of Mexico. The senator's Inter
cats appear to bo In a prosperous condition
Ho says so himself , nnd points cut on <
of the principal reasons therefor , nnd t (
which the attention of vvago earners Is In
vlteil Iho Washington correspondent o
the DCS Molnps Register has miearthet
some- facts about the senator's Mexlcai
intno , as follows :
"Senator Stewart Is the controlling mini
nnd manipulator of the International Mln
Ing company , whoso mining property I :
located In Mexico , but whoso headquarter !
are In this city. Ei-nator Ste > wart In hli
last annual report of this company make ;
some very Interesting statements for i
limn who occupies the position he dots It
the public attention respecting the sllvci
question On page -1 of the report he says
'The fall In the prlco of silver nnd consc
qiicnt rlso In exchange has so far operate !
greatly In our fiver , as It has Increase !
our working capital In Mexico to n con
slilcrable extent , and still continues to di
EO Prices ot materials In Mexico are no
affected by the value of silver ; neither I1
the price of labor. We have , therefore , :
permanent and clear advantage over mine :
operated In the United States , where al
expenses must bo paid for on n gold basis
while the value ot their product decrease !
with the depreciation of silver. '
STEWART AGAINST STEWART.
"When Senator Stewart vvroto or causcc
to-be written this part of Ills repot t ho dli
not think It would bo brought ngnlnst bin
In his effort to fool the people of this
country Into believing that the frco nm
unlimited coinage of silver would raise the
prlco of commodities nnd cnhancu wages
What does ho inadvertantly say In hla re
port on this subject ? Simply that because
wages are low In Mexico , which Is on n sil
ver basis , anil will remnln permanently so
thcrcfoie , they have 'a permanent and cleai
advantage over the mines opciatcd In the
United States. ' Dear In mind that this
Is a permanent condition according to the
statement of the Nevada senator. Yet he
would have the people of this country be-
lle-ve that It vlll bo a good thing for them
to place this country on a silver basis. II
would bo a b.itmnza for him as a mine
owner In Mexico and this county. The sli
ver produced In the Mexican mine by cheat
labor he could have minted hero at an In
creased profit , and tha advantage he declares
ho would have over American mines would
enable him to reduce the wages of his miners
In this country. That he would do It U
proved by his treatment of printers In hli
printing odlce. Under free coinage the In
evitable effect would bo to force down the
wages ot miners In our silver mines
"But this Is not all The senator In his
> cport says , 'tho 'TiMces ' of materials Ir
Mexico are not affected by the value ol
silver. ' In his speeches nnd letters tc
the people of this country ho declares thai
the price of commodities will rlso undei
the Influence of frco silver. Why don'l
they rlso In Mexico ? Ho says they do nol
and will not , In his report , which was nol
prepared for a campaign document.
"On page 5 of his report Senator Stow an
says : 'An output of but ten tons a day
which Is far below the average would
glvo us a profit of $250 per day In gold
value , and there seems to be little rooir
for doubt that our output will reach many
times that quantity with the progressing ol
' " *
developments.
Many times $250 a day clear profits
Think of that ! That fiom ono mlno alone
In Mexico , worked by peons , who nre pair
less per day for their libor than our mlncn
expend for tobacco ! This Is the kind ol
man who is running this silver campaign
Talk about plutocrats , gold trusts ani
monopolists !

For several years past scientists have
been endeavoilng to solve thw problem o !
obtaining elect ) leal energy direct from coal
says the Rochester Chronicle. In view o ;
the fact that less than G per cent of thi
latent energy In coal Is utilized In the mos
approved Incandescent lamp , the problcn
has hail elements of Interest , In a com
mcrclal as well as scientific sense.
Not long ago It was announced that Dr
Jfcqucs , an accomplished Boston clec
trlclan , had discovered the secret , and hae
been enabled , by means of a peculiar bat
tery , to utilize from 80 to 85 per cent of tin
Initial energy of the caibon consumed Ir
the cells Now comes a writer In theSev |
tember number of the Engineering Mcg.i'
zlno with some alleged facts which arc
calculated to dampen the ardor of the elce
trlcal enthusiast. This w liter points oul
the fact that while- but eight pounds o !
carbon Is used ill the cells themselves Ir
furnishing current for thirty Incandesceni
lamps of sixteen candle-power sach foi
nineteen hours , a quartlty of coal , which he
estimates at eighty pounds , Is consumed Ir
the furnace In producing the not low tern-
pcraturo of 900 degrees Fahrenheit , In melt'
Ing the caustic soda element and mal.r
( alntng the air blast. This consumption ol
coal , tie Engineering Magazine writer ai
slimes , was regarded as negligible In the
somewhat rose-oloicd account of the nl-
leged discovery. If the critic's premises
nro correct , It would scorn tint the an
nouncement that the Doston electrician had
succeoled In ev.vllng the law of the con-
bervatlon of ene-rgy was at leant premature
At the same tlmo the Engineering Maga
zlnes writer makes a statement which 1 :
fully as marvelouu us that which ho crltl
clscs , and It will undoubtedly meet with It !
shnro of criticism In turn , Uroadly stated
his contention Is that modern gas-produclii (
methods and appliances have ) virtual ! ]
solved the vexed problem , and that the do
blrcd result Is reaqhcd In up-to-date ga !
works. According to his statement , 20 pel
cent of the energy of coal Is saved fron
the ictorts , and the by-pioducts , which eon
sist of coke used In the ) fuinaccs and sold
nml coal tar and ammonia , produce enougl
to pay SO per cent of tbo entire coal bills
It is certainly a less sentimental mcthoi
of arriving at the result desired , but If tin
prcmlsrs nro correct , It la Impossible ) to es
cape' the conclusion ,
It should bo said , In explanation , perhaps
that the result Is made possible by the many
uses which science ) has found for coal tar
once ) rcgaidcd as a nuisance and perplexing
factor by managers of gas works , the Im
proved methods ot using the coke products
under the re-torts , and last , but not least ,
the saving of from fifty cents to sixty cents
worth of commercial ammonia from eacl :
gross ton of coal. While some allowance
must be made for the enthusiasm vvltti
which the writer treats the Industry will :
which hu Is connected. It must bo admlt'ee ]
that ho makes a fairly good case ; a case
which 1s at least not weakened by the fact
that the modern processes stem to Improvt
tbo quality of tbo principal product.

Saratoga still gossips over Its enjoyment
of Lord nusaclPs visit. The entire party
made a most agreeable Impression. Lady
UiiEselt Is a flue-looking woman , whoso face
shows her cliaructer and Intelligence. She
dresses plainly , but not without distinction.
She Is a good Fenian and homo ruler , and
expressed herself as pleased with the auton
omy of our forty-five stales that each state
can do so much without application to the
central government. She adapted herself
quickly to American ways ; was even heard
ta say baggage and checks rather than the-
almost universal English lurKage " !

her and her daughter
and the three ladles , with Mrs. IJatcheller
and her guest , Mrs. John W. Foster , found
themselves soon a second receiving group.
Judge and Mrs Hatchellcr had mot Lord and
Lady Uussell In Paris In 1S93 , when Judge
Uatchellcr was there In a seml-oinclal posi

tinguished Jurist was natural and appro5

ciated by the recipient of the honor. It

stood just within Us entrance , and as each
guest was Introduced said a few courteous
words. Ho has a soft , pleasant voice , and
a flattering way when In conversation of in
clining his head forward na though deeply
Interested. The chief charm of Lord Rus
sell's address was In the last fifteen minutes ,
when he broke away from his notes and gave
the audlenco a sample of English-Irish era
tory. Up to that tlmo he was more or less
confined to what he had written. He re
minded ono of a clergyman preaching an
orthodox sermon to a fashionable audience ,
nnd many who listened vondeml where his
great power lay. The quarter of an hour
before the close was a revelation.
A new version of the old and popular game
of buistlng the bag Is found In , the amuse
ment welcomed lately In summer cottages

At the recent celebration ot the coronation
of the czar a beautiful American girl , who
had the honor of a special Invitation to all
the state functions , attracted much atten
tion , and among her many admirers was a
grandee of the east attached to the suite of
the ambassador extraordinary , LI Hung
Chang This youth calmly announced to her
people that he would Ilko to buy her , what
ever the price might be. When It was ex
plained to him that American girls were not
regarded as marketable commodities , nnd
that In any event her family did not desire
to part with her , ho was greatly disap
pointed , but gracefully accepting his dis
missal , ho asked leave to perform to her au
"act ot homage , " such as were otfeicd In
his country to princesses of the blood royal.
This courtesy , ot course , could not be re
fused , and a day was appointed for the cere-
monlal , the young lady nnd her frlcndn
feeling naturally very curious nnd a trifle-
nervous as to what this "act of homage"
might consist of. At the tlmo appointed the
young oriental noble arrived , accompanied
by a numerous retinue of friends and serv
ants , qulto Ilko Aladdin In the story of the
wonderful lamp. All were clad In the most
magnificent garments. They diew up before
the house where the girl was staying , while
the rejected suitor , or rather the would-bo
purchaser , with a smaller following , en
tered , hla attendants beailng an enormous
horseshoe or halt circlet of flowers. 'I his
ho laid at the young woman's feet , while
he delivered an equally flowery oration In
his native tongue , which was translated
for her benefit by his Interpreter. It wan
altogether an embarrassing but very pretty
ceremonial ,
Actresses who are mothers , as a rule , ox-
orclso a degree of care , devotion and self-
denial for their children that women In
other walks of life never slio.v. Perhaps
the fact that the Ufa of married playera
Is subjected to the hardships of travel and
periodical separation , and that owing to the
professional demands upon their tlmo they
enjoy so llttlo of that true domesticity whoso
happiest Inspiration Is found In the quietudes
and certainties that permanent rcsldenco
affords , accounts In a measure for the earn
estness with which stage mothers dovotu
themselves to their children , the notable
prldo they take In them , and the love they
lavish upon them , Stage mothers , It may bo
asserted , are apart from average women In
this respect. When It Is admitted that to
become legitimately prominent In the theater
a woman must have exceptional attributes
unil abilities , It does not seem strange that
her maternal demonstrations should bo ex
ceptionally devotional , especially In view of
the fact that In most cases thu actress who
Is a mother can enjoy relatively few of the
felicities of motherhood that fall to the lot
of the woman who need not bo separated
from her loved ones , and whoso times maybe
bo peacefully spent In a permanent place
for their behoof and happiness. And It Is
a gratifying thing also to say that the chil
dren of actors are generally a credit to their
parents , and that often they adorn the thea
ter.
A noticeable tendency of the time Is to
have all the common small articles of the
wardrobe In expensive form. Gold glove
buttoners , handkerchief and flower holders ,
and , later , the gold spike pin to attach the
corsage bouquet , were considered a few
yeais go rather unnecessary luxuries , to be
occasionally Indulged In. Now they arc ob
ligatory. Silver and gold button hooks and
Blioo home crept In , supplemented by com
mon hairpins of the same materials. Now
stocking supporter clasps , suspender buckles ,
buttons any of the small belongings that
come In steel or nickel , come as well In
gold. Gold safety pins , large and small , and
dainty little frosted itety pins of gold , to
catch up the ulwa. * ioo long dress sleeves
of Infants , are considered "must haves" In
ull well equipped nurseries. A young woman
recently ordered halt a paper of gold pins
made exactly like the common pin of overy-
body's cushion , and she used them to pin
fronts and vests In place in lieu of hooks or
buttons. I'ashlonable young women who
rarry any latch key hava It ot gold.
The notable tucccss which has rewarded
the experiment ot Lady Henry Somerset In
her treatment of women possessed by thi
drink habit has excited the Interest of phll
anthroplsts and penologlsts all over th
globe , ami at the same time has Induced tha
distinguished Englishwoman to extend he
work upon an Immense scale. There havi
been many attempts In the same direction
but Lady Henry Sommct U the only oni
thus far who has accomplished anythlni
worthy of record Her system Is extreme ! ;
simple , and consists In treating dlpsomanl
acs as sick people and not as criminals o
oven like malefactors D As the force whkl
keeps n drunkard down Is chiefly physlcn
depression , weakness or lUvalldUm , her fits
step Is the upbuilding of the Individual nc
cording to flic latrst methods ot science

The very fact that n woman as a ruli
overestimates her Influence Is stlmulatlnt
to her ? cal nnd effort. When she become1
convinced that some movement Is necessar :
she cries. "I'll support It ! " and feels that I
Is settled Oftentimes she Is of great ns

long ago , when an attempt was made to en

to assist , sent ono day to her grocer for i

and stated that she wanted an August :

the word from the merchant that ho dli
not keep Augusta brooms , and that this \\n :
just as good. The woman returned tin
broom nnd the basket of groceries that hai

When there Is so much written nowndayi
about growing old gracefully and aboul
preserving one's youth and attractive op-
pcarancc , the mind reverts to the ages ol
noted women when they were quite popular
One wonders how Helen of Troy , Cleopatra
Anne of Austria and a tow other anclenl
beauties of the past preserved their fascina
tions Helen of Troy was over 40 when she
perpetrated the most famous elopement or
record , nnd ( as the siege of Troy lasted a
decade , she could not have b'cn very juvenile
when the 111 fortune of Parts restored her tc
her husband , who. It Is said , received hei
vvl h unquestioning love and gratitude. Cleo
patra was past 30 when Antony fell undoi
her spell and her fascination for him hail
never lessened when she died ten yean
later. Pericles wedded Aspasla , who was In
her zenith of beauty and fascination at 30 ,
and she wielded undisputed Influence ovei
men , with undlmtnlshed reputation for
beauty , for thirty years afterward Llvla
was 33 when she won the love ot Augustus ,
over whom she maintained her ascendancy
to the last. Ninon , the most celebrated
beauty nnd wit of her day , was the idol ol
three generations of the golden youth nl
France , and wielded her wonderful Influence
up to the age of 73 , when Abbe do Derlas
fell in love with her. It Is said that thi
lady combined the rare attractions ot culture ,
natural wit and wapOjcrful talent with a
beauty which seened , endowed _ -\\lth Pcr-
pctual youth. Anne ofyAustria was quite 3 !
when she was described , as the handsomesl
queen In Europe , and when Buckingham and
Uicheticu , two of the most brilliant men ol
the day , were her dpvotod and jealous ad-
mlrcrs Blanco Capello was 33 when Grand
Duke Francisco of Florence fell captive tc
her charms nnd made her his wife , althougli
ho was flvo years her1 Junior. Louis XIV ,
wedded Mine , do Mnlntehon when she vvat
41 ? years of age. Catherine II. nf Russia wnt
33 when she seized the empire ot Russia
nnd captivated the galla'ht General Orloft
She seemed to have regained her powers ol
fascination to the dij of her death , when
Bho was 07 , and her attrction seemed to have
extended to both sexrs , for lamentations
were general nnd heartfelt at her death
among all who had known her personally.
The Revue do Paris , recently brought out n
paper from the pen of Jl. Alnhonse Daudcl
about the tlcnthlrd BCPIIO of his friend , the
late Edmond do Concourt Of course , Dau-
dnt Is a leader In the realist school , but the
letter was all too rcillstlr to bo readable
In the same Issue of the Revue were some
hitherto unpublished letters between Alfred
do llusset and his sweetheart , George Sand
It now appears that theirs was a nowspapoi
rmmiice. They met for the first tlmo in
May , 1813 , In the ofllco of the Revue eles
Deux Mondcs ,
Speaking ot lovers , It Is not generally
Known that the love affairs of the Due
d'Orleans and the Archduchess Maria Doro
thea date from n boy and girl affection nl
the ago of 13 Seldom that the royal fami
lies are allowed any rhnlco , and this case It
notable , since politically the rovallsls could
not have arranged a better match , nnd everyone
ono Is happy. Including the contracting
parties.
Dr. A , L. Benedict , In an article addressed
"To the Doctor's Fiancee , " In the Septem
ber Ladles' Homo Companion , says > - ' Lei
mo disclaim all reference to the exceptional
cases In which a physician defers man Inge
until late In life , or to the not uncommon
Instances In which the wife Is able and willIng -
Ing to support her husband Iho medical
profession for the last generation has been
to overcrowded that the physician who cams
more than n fair living Is a phenomenal ex
ception , and It Is not far from true that the
wealthy doctor owes his good fortune tc
patrimony or matrimony ,
"Speaking as a cynic , to the girl who ex
pects to marry n physician , I would say ,
don't. Realizing with pleasure that few
who rccelvo this advlco will bo actuated by
mercenary motives , or will shrink from self-
denials Imposed by love , I extend hearty con
gratulations and best wishes at the begin
ning of a life of comparative poverty nnd
subject to disproportionate demands at the
hands of society. Some will differ from
mo when I urge that qt the outset of your
married life you will drop the Idea ( and In-
jlst that others shall drop It ) that your statue
Is different from that of any other lady Do
not allow people to call you or think of you
as 'Mrs Dr. * I can sea no reason why the
professional responsibilities of either the
doctor or the minister should be reflected In
Ills wlfo. I may offend some kind-hearted
persons by expressing the conviction that
Iho physician's wlfo should have nothing toile
ilo with hlb patients , rich or poor , except to
show them ordinary courtesy In her hus
band's absence ) or as she may meet them In
cidentally. The philanthropic Ideal of a
noble woman mtnlsterjng to the wants of
the deserving poor and , sharing her hus
band's mission has boon shattered by the
rude blows of experience. The deserving
poor are common , but , they do not seek
ind rarely accept charity ju any form. "

Prof. Worthlngton has been studying a
curious phenomenon for twenty years. The
splash of a drop occurs In the twinkling
of an eye , yel It Is an exquisitely regulated
phenomenon and ono that very happily Il
lustrates some ot the fundamental prop-
eitlcs of the fluid , says a writer In Knowl
edge.
The problem that Prof , Worthlngton has
succeeded in solving Is to let n drop ot
definite size fall from a fixed height In
comparative darkness onto a surface and
to illuminate It by a flash o ! exceedingly
short duration at any desired stage , BO as
to exclude all the stages previous and sub
sequent to those thus selected The tinny
Illustratlonr In Ills volume testify to the
accuracy nnd beauty of his work
The curious results of n splash of n drop
of mercury from a height of thrco Inches
upon a smooth glass plate are partlculaily
Interesting. Very soon after the ( Irst mi
nute rays are shot out In all directions on
the surface with marvelous regularity. From
the ends of the rays droplets of liquid split
oft. The liquid subsides In the middle and
soon aftctnard flows Into the ring The
ring then divides In such a nnnncr ns to
join up the rays In pairs. Thereafter the
whole contracts till the liquid rises In the
center , so as to form the beginning of the
rebound ot the drop from the plate. Im
mediately the drops at the end ot the arms
break off , while the central mass rises in a
column , which Just falls , Itself to break Into
drops.
He photographed no tower than thlity
successive stages of the splash within the
twentieth of a second , ao tint the average
Interval between them was about the COOth
of a second. Remarkable are the splashes
of water drops falling about sixteen Inches
Into mill. , but more beautiful arc the dome
forms when the height Is fifty-two Inches
