WHY WOMEN FAIL.
In the Telegraph IttmlncM They Marry
null the Kr re Ire.
Not long Ago new telegraph service
wo* organized oti one of the West India
islands under the supervision of an
Knglidi governmental staff. The island
was n long way behind the times in its
method of eomnmnlcatloo and every
thing else, and the estahiisiiment of
postal telegra|>h stations all round the
island was looked upon as inaugurating
a more hn|x*ful and progressive era.
The ehief of the department found that
women were cheaper than men. so the
stations were placed . in charge of a
bright and promising corfw of deft
wrist ex] young ladies, who took kindly
to their new tusk, and for awhile every
thing went smoothly.
Presently, however, an epidemic fell
on many of these island towns, and it
Invariably took the same form. The
clerk from a merchant's office or store
would he missing In the middle of the
day when the fierce tropical sun was
beating down on the white glaring
streets, and driving every white man
within the Jalousies of his coolest
piazza; or the horse of the young
planter, who had ridden into town
from tlie coffee mountains or the adja
cent sugar estate, would bo hitched up
for an unconscionable time under the
heavy shaded mango tret*, the fruit of
which could be plucked from the win
dows of the spick and span station,
which contained the whole secret of
these unwonted phenomena.
in a single year the service went to
pieces, and (lie chief had to face the
fact that nearly every member of his
stuff Imd either resigned already or was
nlHitit to resign, in consequence of ap
proaching matrimony.
The officers of tie* Western Union
company seem to be having a similar
experience. They complain that the
innate propensity of the telegraph girls
to get married is a source of constant
disarrangement nnd change in their
office*. Just as soon as a woman gets
broken in thoroughly and can handle n
heavy wire almost as well as a man
she falls in love with some telegrapher
and marries. In most cases the women
quit work and go to housekeeping,
while the husband has to thump the
key twice as hard to stave off bank
ruptcy.
Tills, however, makes no difference;
not a single one seems to be deterred
by the experience of her predecessor,
nnd the Old story perpetually repeats
itself. In point of find, the business of
matrimony seems to flourish better in
telegraph offices than in the bureaus
where men and women are supposed to
meet their fate at so much per head;
nnd so seriously Is the routine of the
telegraph offices disturbed thereby that
the companies declare they would give
up women operators altogether in the
large offices If itwere not for the sako
of economy.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
Storing of tlie Meeting Horn**.
Mr. Spurgeon han been reviewing a
book on "Primitive Methodism on the
Yorkshire Wolds,” and llnds hi it some
stories very much to his tuind. lie is
especially pleased with one criticism of
a sermon.
“Ah, say. mister, yon preached a
goodish sermon tonight, but if it had
been cut short at heath ends, and set
afire in the middle, It wad a dean us
mare good.”
Mr. Spurgeon "scarcely remembers a
better criticism than this."
Another story is of a not very fluent
young man, who, being in the habit of
saying in Ids prayers, “Lord, help me
to pray," was answered one night by
an old man's ejaculations, “And the
Lord help thee to give ower.”
Mr. Spurgeon also likes the story of
a clergyman who, at a noby prayer
meeting, commanded silence and said:
“My dear friends, the Lord is not deaf.
Now don't you think you could pray a
little more quietly! You remember,
when the temple was being built at
Jerusalem, there was no sound of any
tool heard in it while building."
“Yes, sir." said one of the brothers,
'that’s all vcry true; but, you see,
we're not building the temple; we’re
only blasting the rooks.”
i’artlnt Uneven* with an Artlflelul Cell.
M. Traube succeeded in making an
artitk-ial cell that would grow. lie
took a droi) of gelatine, which, after
being boiled for thirty six hours, lost
its coagulability. After drying it for
several hours in the air by the aid of a
rod fixed in the cork of a vessel partly
tilled with a solution of tannin he
plunged the drop of gelatine into the
tannin. The outer portion of the gela
tine, which itLssohvd. combined with
the tannin and produced a closed cell.
Tills distended more and more, grow
ing after the manner of a living cell,
but would not stop at the limit of
growth or separate into two or more
cells as In living tissues.—New York

An application for an annual pass
was once made to Commodore Vander
bilt by the president of a road about
twenty-five miles long. "Your road
doesn't seem to cover a great amount
of territory,” suggested the commodore
to the applicant “No,” said the ap
plieant, “it isn't quite so long as the
New York Central, but, by gracious,
Mr. Vanderbilt, It’s just as wide!” The
pass was issued.—San Francisco Argo

Keep Your Blood Pure.
A small quantity of prevention is worth many pounds
of cure. If your blood is in good condition the liability
to any disease is much reduced and the ability to resist
its wasting influence is tenfold greater. Look then to
your blood, by taking Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) every
few months. It is harmless in its effects to the most
delicate infant, yet it cleanses the blood of all poisons
and builds up the general health.

commenced Uking Swift’s Specific (8. 8. 8.) and in a few weeks I wai perm a

Sketches
GREATEST BOOK
OF THE TIMES.
The Fastest Seller:
AND
The Best Endorsed.
WHAT THEY SAY:
Rev J M Hubbert, D. 1)., LL.D., pas
tor of the First Cumberland Pres
byterian Church, Nashville, Tenn..
says:
In “Character Sketches” the pic
tures make us think of Banyan's alle
gories, Atsop’s fables, and last’s cari
catures. 1 lie 100 k will please its
thousands.
J. R. Brooks, I). I)., Presiding Elder
of the Shelby District, of the West
ern N. C. Conference, writes:
I have read with great interest a
number of the sketches in the origi
nal and striking volume of Rev. O. A.
Lofton, and heartily recommend it to
the reading public.
Rev Mr Bonner, pastor of the Metho
dist Church, Hickory, N C, writes:
“I would give one dollar to read
‘Character Sketches’ just one day.”
The Knoxville Sentinel, Knoxville,
says:
“Character Sketches” is a remarka
ble book. The reputation of its dis
tinguished author led us to expect
much ill this book, but a careful ex
amination of its unique pages makes
11s realize more.
The Baltimore Baptist says:
“Character Sketches” is an enter
taining volume, full of happy hits and
wise suggestions.
The Western Recorder, of Louisville,
Ky., says:
“Character Sketches” is unlike nny
thing that has appeared since tho clays
of John Bunyan, of whose emblems it
strikingly reminds us.
What They Do:
Mr. J. M. Henderson, of Ala., writes,
after his first week’s work.
“I am having line luck and good suc
cors. I have made eight calls, and
Itiken seven orders.”
Miss Louln Morris, of North Carolina,
wiites:
“I received mv prospectus a week
ago, and during the past week, working
beforo and after school, I Imve sold
twenty copies of “Character Sketches.”
Professor J. 11. Boon, of Ga., writes:
"The book and prospectus received.
I <lo not get my mail regular or would
have written you sooner. I have can
vassed before and after school just eight
hours, and in that time taken leu sub
scribers for the morocco, two for the
gilt, and four for the plain cloth bind
ing, making a total of sixteen sales for
mv first eight hours work. I met only
one person to whom I failed to sell the
book. I belieae I can make a great
success at the business. Am on the
fence trying to decide whether to con
tinue teaching or give up my school and
sell books entirely.”
