BAB’S VIEWS ON LOVE.

TO A
A MAH ASKS, ‘‘WHAT IS LOVE?” AND BAB
TELLS HIM—WHAT LOVE 3IEAN8 TO
WOMAN—WOMAX'S LOYALTY" TO
MAX BOBX OF LOVE—DBESS
BEFOKM, ETC.
New Yoke, October 23.—[Special Cor-
repondence.]— Marriage, love, improved
underwear and meteors are what people talk
about. If talking of love makes love, there
will be about five hundred thousand lovers
in New York City and a proper number of
. marriages, so that next year wUl really be
the time to have the census taken. I
have given,my opinion on marriage, but
lately I have been exploiting on the sub
ject of love.
A MAX ASKS, “WHAT IS LOVE?”
the man at whom I hurled my opinions
being extremely cynical. Said he, “What
is love? It is a selfish desire on the part
of one person to monopolise all the time,
attention, and charms of another. It is
spoken of as being everlasting, and yet
men jest about their summer and winter
girls, and think a Presidential election, a
rise or fall in stocks, more interesting
than any love that was ever dreamed of.
Some fool of a man commits suicide—says
he does it for love. Some fool of a wo
man runs in debt buying new frocks,
spends her time before the looking-glass,
and all because she wishes to make a man
love her. Bother love,” said he : “give
me comradeship. I want to feel that I
can be pleasant with a woman, that we
can trot around together, that we can en
joy‘the same things, discuss the same ques
tions, without all this fol-de-rol nonsense
called love. As for the love described by
erotic poets, you ought to drop the e and
ic off the -adjective, and you would have
the proper name for it.”
AND PEETTY BAB TELLS HIM.
“ Ho, ho !” said I, “ my master. So
you want companionship, do you, and you
think love of little worth ? Oh, what fools
these men.be, especially these intellectual,
nineteenth-century men ! My dear sir,
there never lived a man in this world who
didn’t want a woman to love him. He
talks about comradeship and affection.
What he wants is love and devotion. He
thinks that everything else in life—pro
toplasms and meteors and all the .rest of
the ‘nonsense—should come before love.
Where in the world have his eyes been?
It is true that crimes have been committed
for love, but oh, so many good things have
been done for Us sake! There have been
self-denial and unselfishness. There have
been the giving up of great hopes, and
sometimes the absolute killing of one’s
heart’s desire for the sake of dear love.
The world could no more go on without
love than it could without sunshine. You
can talk about patriotism, you can rest on
your mentality, but you will never find
that either of these will give you the same
pleasure, nor anywhere near it, that comes
when you have got your arm around a
small woman and you look down into
eyes that turn to you with devot on.”
“it is woman’s whole existexce.”
As for the love written about by the la
dies who like very intense color on their
books, I have nothing to say; it is much
more written about than lived, and though
many sins have been committed in the
name of love, there have been a lot more
of good deeds done; and on the great re
cording book the good will blot out the
bad. A woman as naturally needs love as
she does bread and butter, and when she
don’t get. it her life is a barren one, with
out any of the sweet flowers or rich fruit
with which it should be garnished. Sen
timental? Perhaps so. But I have a
great number of noble predecessors, and
I put myself down as believing in love
• first, foremost and always; and though I
don’t like a garret, because I’m not strong
enough to climb many sta’rs, still, I’d
rather be there and have the love than re
side in the finest second story front, with
real lace curtains and indifference. Men
like to say that when poverty comes
love disappears; now every man who says
that knows that he is a downright libber.
WOMEX HAVE STUCK BY MEN
through the direst sort of poverty, have
tried to make things better and have usu
ally succeeded. If you will just remem
ber, you never heard of a man striving to
make both ends meet—it always a woman
My gentle friend, if yon can get the love
of a good woman, you have got the best
thing in life, and from the king on his
throne to the peasant working in the field
there is nothing that surpasses it, and the
beautiful part ot it all is that king and
peasant alike may have it and be happy.
THE BEFOBMED UNDERCLOTHES QUESTION
My cynic found himself a little upset af
ter this tirade, and so he thought he would
do as men always do when they are
worsted—i. e., change the subject by ask-
me, after the form of an interviewer,what
I thought of the common sense under
wear? I said I didn't think it was worthy
of consideration, ami that I fully under
stood the feelings of the old lady who
came to town and was entertained by her
daughter by being taken to hear a wo
man’s lecture on reformed underclothes
in the afternoon and to Bob Ingersoll at
night. When they got home the daughter
said, “Well, mother, what do you think of
it?” “Good gracious me,” answered the
old lady, “what i* the world coming to?
No hell, no chemise.” That’s the way I
feel on the reformed uuderclothes ques
tion. I may mention, though, that the
period when the chemise first made its ap
pearance was about the -most immoral
known, and so rare were the full length
chemise that people had slits cut in their
beautiful skirts, just ou the hips, and the
chemise was dragged through to show that
it extended below the waist; ami that is
what the artistic pulling through of silk or
satin had its origin in.
-SUSPENDERS OF EMEKALDS AND DIA
MONDS.
The last thing in the jewelry line is
most marvellous. It consists of a pair of
white silk suspenders to hold up the
stockings, the clasps being emerald hearts
with diamonds upon them. I gazed at
them with great admiration, but doubt
very much if they have a sale. However,
as the race of fools is not dying out, it is
possible that they may have an admirer
with a purse very full of gold.
THE LATEST SMART LUNCHEONS.
Very smart luncheons this winter will

used,and the only flowers permissable will
be white ones tied with pale green rib
bons. Flowers never went out of fashion,
but they are being used now more than
ever before.
FLOWKBS FOB TOUB FAVOBITE."
Instead of the huge corsage bouquets a
long stemmed rose or a posy made of car
nations, a very fine orchid or a bunch of
violets, is counted the last touch to an
evening costume. This makes' it possible
for a man to do a courteous thing in the
way of sending the woman he likes some
flowers without his having to go into
bankruptcy at the end of the season. Men
who estimate things by quantity rather
than quality gave full reins to their vul
garity when they sent a woman a corsage
bouque nearly as big as herself, but now
adays to choose a single fine flower that
comes from the smartest florist, and to
send it and ask as a courtesy that it may
be worn, is undoubtedly the correct thing
and certainly the more sentimental.
SENTIMENT IN SONGS OF TORE.
Apropos of sentimentality,the young wo
man who sings inclines rather to the bal
lads of ten years ago than to the
wild son as that have been her favorites
for some time past. In preference to
“Razzle-dazzle” or the announcement that
“Jones, he pays the freight,” she is war
bling in tender tone the exquisite “Good
bye” of Tosti; that dear old song, “She
wore a wreath of roses,’ - and that nAst
lovely of ballads, “Sally in our Alley.”
She has gained by adopting this role, for
in a dim religious light with an aecompa- ot ^ made , argel 5 ‘ y white
niament that sounds like the music of | “ XI ? 3 . 3 ,
A wall of a child at midnight,
The chime of a minster belt
The sorrowful moan of a sorrowing soul
And the sound of a passing knell
An old worn book on a comer shelf
And a spray of faded ysw,
A locket with hair all golden and fair
And a ribbon of faded blue.
A needle case, both empty and old.
And a case with hidden spring.
Wherein two golden watch keys lie.
A heart—and a wedding ring
I take the book from the corner shelf.
And the ribben of faded blue;
And before me stands the form I loved.
With hair of a golden hu& -
And I gaze so long in those earnest eyes
That my soul grows weak with pain;
Then she fades away—and I gently lay
The old book down again.

Georgia Cotton for Spinning.
A northern spinner recently mentioned
his estimated waste at 16 3-10 per cent.,
but subsequently wrote me that he
thought it was then about 14 per cent
1 think that northern spinners usually
estimate it at 16 per cent Even 14 per
cent, seems a very large wastage from
“middlings.’’ the grade my corre

and joy and devotion, even the ninteenth
century young man can be overcome. He
often shows a slight inclination to weep.
Sometimes this is the result of the words,

dren, who certainly handle the fleecy
staple with far more care.
The cotton marketed at Marietta, in
Cobb county, about twenty-five miles
sometimes of the fact that he has had a j above Atlanta, is generally beautifully
‘ ** ' J ~ white and clean. It is grown much
more abundantly than before I860, and
almost always by the aid of fertilizers,
which hasten the maturity of the cotton,
so that the crop of that part of the coun
try is much sooner prepared for market
than in the lower counties, where it was
often plowed in to make way for the
little too much dinner, and the digestion
and appreciation of music are difficult as
a combination.

One of the leading dressmakers showed
me a frock trimmed heavily with leather,

astonishment when I said I thought it bet

can sneer at a
long, terrible struggle between, the body
and the soul. And I have more respect
for the man who, having sinned, flees
and gives up everything, letting all know
his dishonor, than 1 have for the man
who sins and wears a mask through
which the eyes of the world cannot
pierce. Yet this same world calls the
latter an “upright man” and the former
a “fool.” Some of yon “upright” ones—
be careful how yon sneer at the “fool.”

Didn't Bother Him.
When Sam Jones was preaching in a
western town, some time ago. he was
annoyed by a young man who was whis
pering to his girl. Finally the preacher
could stand it no longer - , so he looked
straight at the young man and said:
“I will pause until the young man in
the back of the room gets through talk
ing."
The silence was intense, aud every eye
was on the young man, who was still

the work of an incendiary is pretty well
established. The wires which connected
the burned factory with three alarm gongs
were cut, so that no signal of the confla
gration could be given until the fire gained
great headway. The hose used by the de
partment at Fairchild’s Mills were clogged
up by stones, and the key holes in the
doors of the quarters of the North End
Engine Company were plugged up, making
it necessary to force the windows to get
the apparatus out. No one understands
the motive for the crime, if such there
was.

The women who chew gum, smoke ci

The women who read nasty books be

The women who never keep an engage

The women who are walking interro

The women who are not womanly, who

touch that stings, and every other honest-,

with Bab.
Italy of the Leap to Financial Sucre**
of Adam Dud,nheifer.
A party of gentlemen were talking in
front of the Hotel Sandersville a few
evenings ago, carrying on a running
conversation abont men and events.
They were calling up little reminiscences
of the past, when one of them remarked:
“Years ago, just after the close of the
war, 1 remember there lived in this
county a man who every day walked be
tween the plow handles, tilling his little
farm for a livelihood, contented and
serene, seemingly careless and unmind
ful of tie hard life he daily led. By his
fellows he was not accredited with any
unusual degree of business tact, nor was
it the case that his judgment in matters
of finance was sought by any of his
acquaintances.
“If he was overly shrewd no one knew
it; if he anticipated any successful
achievements beyond the sphere in which
he moved he did not let any one know
of this latent ambition that fired his
brain. Finally he drifted away from
these parts. At first he went to Savan
nah. Soon after reaching that city, hav
ing made a favorable impression on a
lady who had some means and who as
sisted him in pecuniary matters, he be
came associated with John L. Martin in
the cotton commission business. In that
he prospered fairly well, and eventually
married his benefactress. Retiring from
the cotton trade he went to New York
some time in the seventies. There he
struck in, it seems, with the ‘magicians
of finance ’ in the great metropolis, and
prosperity has beamed on him ever since.
“At the annual election of stockhold
ers of the Central railroad in Savannah*
Gen. Alexander, the president, voted by
prosv 3.700 shares of that stock, the
property of Adam Dudenheifer, of New
York, aud that was only a meager por
tion of his accumulations. The Adam
Dudenheifer that lived in pinched cir
cumstances in tills county years ago is
now the same Dudenheifer that is ac
counted almost, if not entirely, a million
aire in the most populous and wealthiest
city in the Union. ^
“His life, so far as rapid money making
goes, is a marvelous success, and yet it
is but the history of other men. From
the bottom he has risen and worked his
way through adverse circumstances to’a
position of security and ease. It is all in
the man, after all. ”—Sandersonville (Ga.)
Progress.
A Good Method of Copying*
Bny a piece of common factory or
cheese cloth, or as many pieces as may
be necessary to make the desired number
of copies, each the size of the letter book
page. When about to take copies wet
the cloth, or several pieces if necessary,
so thoroughly that there shall be no dry
spots. This done wring them out as
dry as possible with the hands. Now
place the oil sheet in the book and the
cloth thereon, and the leaf of the copy
book ou this. Next lay the letter or
manuscript on this, and if another sheet
is to be copied add another oil sheet, a
wet cloth, the tissue leaf, and so on for
as many sheets as there may be to copy.
By this process as many as twenty
sheets may be copied successfully at the
same time, while the most expert with
the brush, or any similar device for
moistening the tissue leaves, will some
times fail on a single copy. We retired
our hair and felt brushes to make place
for the cheese cloth a number of years
ago. For typewriter work nothing ex
cels the cloth. Clear copies may be pro
cured as long as there is enough ink left
on a ribbon to make an impression.—

NOT JACK THE RIPPER.
THE SOUTH HAMPSTEAD CRIME NOT
CHARGEABLE TO HIM.
London, October 25.—The body of the
woman found murdered in the South
Hampstead locality last night shows that
the crime bears no resemblance to those
committed by “Jack the Ripper,” and a
medical examination of the remains prove
that the woman did not belong to the
Whitechapel class, from which the “Rip
per” selected his victims. The body is
that of a woman about forty years of age,
and well clad. Her linen was marked.
Her throat had been cut and her skull
fractured, and all the pockets in her cloth
ing were empty. A perambulator con
taining a blood-stained fur rug was found
near by, which, it is supposed, was used
to convey the body from the spot where
the crime was committed to where it was
found.
An Explanation of a Sheep Call.
“Co-day” is derived by one authority
from "Come, Dick,” Dick having been a
name as much in vogue for a male sheep
as Jock was for a horse. But "Co-dan'
may come very easily from "Come. Nan.”
Nan or Nanny is still a favorite name
for a sheep, as well as - for a goat ‘Co
dan” would come by corruption from
“Co-nan,” and “Co-day" from that, in
order to make it more explosive and
easily heard at a distance.
“Co-dar” is said to be derived from
“Come. Darby” — another name once
often used, for a sheep.—Boston Trans
cript.
To Exterminate Garden Pests.
The best and cheapest protectors
against destructive insects which attack
small garden plants is to place bottom
less flower pots over them, admitting
air and light from above, but excluding
the depredators at the sides A short
piece of pipe tile, several inches in di
ameter, answers the same purpose as
well.—Popular Gardening
THE GLASS TRADE
Dyeing Boses.
It is said that the process of dyeing
roses is becoming a remunerative branch
of industry with English horticulturists.
Instead of growing new varieties of
roses, which is a process of years, they
simply grow ordinary white roses and
dip them in a chemical solution which
in a single hour converts them into the
ffiost magnificent yellow tea roses, the
rare scarlet red or the peculiar shade of
bluish violet which has been one of the
favorites of the season. In a similar
way pink roses are turned into blossoms
of the deepest red. Some years ago, be
fore this branch of “floral chemistry”
was developed, the first, experiments
were successfully made in France with
the popular pink hortensia, which, by
being watered with a solution of iron,
assumed a blue shade.—London Letter.

The Fly Too Big a Fool.
Pat a fly on the window and up he
goes toward the top; he can’t be made to
walk downward. A St. Louis inventor
hit qpon an idea. Why not nse that
habit against them? Forthwith he made
a window screen divided in half. The
upper half lapped over the lower, with
an inch of space between. As soon as a
fly would light on the screen he would
proceed to travel upward, and would
fjjua walk straight out of doors. On
reaching the top of the lower half he
would be outside. Not being able to
walk down he had no way to return to
the room. By this means a room can
be quickly cleared of flies, which always
seek the light.—New York Journal.

Gold Dust in a Tree.
A log entter in El Dorado county, CaL,
is said to have found a bottle containing
fl,000 worth of gold dust in the middle
of a sawn tree three feet thick.
Curability of Consumption.
In a late series of experiments Dr.
Koch found that certain bodies, such as
volatile oils, and certain metallic salts,
such as nitrate of silver and preparations
of gold, even in very small doses (1 to
1,000,000, and even less), destroy the
bacilli of consumption in a very short
time. He therefore concludes that in
the course of time some drug may be
discovered that will cure the disease by
destroying the bacilli without injury to
the body. —Arkansaw Traveler.

Milk and Ousters.
The dietetic expert has analyzed the
“Blue Point,” and finds that, bulk for
bulk, the mollusk is equal to milk in
nutritive value. “Oysters,” he says,
“come nearer to milk than almost any
other common food; their values for sup
plying the body with material to build
up its parts, repair its wastes and fur
nish it with heat and energy are pretty
nearly the same.”—Chicago News.
