When Women arc M.i«d Attractive,
In an interesting paiier. nlitl .1 "When
Women Grow Old," Mrs Blake ha» I
brought facts to show that the tasoinap i
ing power of the sox is oftentimes ro
tinned much longer than is generally as- t
sumed.
She tells iis of A-pasin, who between i
the ages of thirty and fifty, was the
strongest intdl' ■ tusl fore, m Athens; of
cleopalrn, whose golden decade for
power and lieauty wss between thirty
| and fortv; Livia, who wn» not fur from
thirty when she gained th heart of Oe
taviiis; of Anne, of Rn-si., who, at
I thirty-eight, was thought to b- the most
i beautiful Queen in Europe; of Cathnr-
I ine 11., of Russia, who, even nt the
-liver de ale, was lioth lieautifiiland ini
| ]>osuig; of Ma-lamoiseil" Mura, the act
| resa, whose lieauty iucreased with yearn,
I and culminated between thirty and forty
five ; of Miulame Re.cnmier, who, tie
: tween twenty-five and forty, and even
bit. r, was the reigning beauty m l .u
--rope; of Nmon d Endos, whose own
son—brought up without knowledge of
I his parentage —fell passionately m love
with her when she was nt the ago <<t
' thirtv-seven, and who even at her six
-1 tu th birthday received an adorer voting 1
| enough to lie her grandson.
These facts, the representatives of
m.my others, establish ilia! the gold, n
decade of fnsciuiition is the same a- the
golden decade of thought; that woman
is most attractive to and most influential
over men and woman ar" in a rest the
maximum of their cerebral force Thu
j voice of our great /n tma doioois is nt it
best Is tw.en twenty -even and thirty
five; but iddl retain, in a <L lee. its

' of other functions is not so le.di'y

Aew Cooking Ftcnsil.
Tlie ordinary range and cook-stove in
which the tire Isix is plac' d at the side
1 of the oven, or in winch tin- proc.-, ds
of combustion pass over the ton, have
the disadvantage of an irregularly heat
ed oven. The hid. -s and top are hotter
than the lottom and on Is or other side,
ami m> a result the bread or other f.xsl
is improfs rly cooked—iH>rhnps burned
at top while badly done at the bottom.
To correct thia defect in ovens a simple
, appliance has Ison d. vised for can-tug
the air in the oven to circulate, and thus
carry the heat obtained br radiation to
all jiarls of the oven. A sheet of metal,
Is-nt into the form of the t< |<C? 1.1 one
side of the oven, ia sup|H.rt«<l <>u wiro
standards and placed in the oven. In
the narrow space lietween the sh.s-t
meta) and the hot side and top of the
oven the air is heated mon- than in the
main body of the oven, and l.v expan
sion it mm and move- over the top "f
the oven toward the cooler wail- Iho
arrnngemeat, simple as it is, appears to

Th* following from Rols'rt Bonner, of

which he wiabed to Bell to mo for publi

Mercenary War*. \
Capital, already red with crime, hss
added another ain to her bloody list. It
i- perceived, since tho battles have beeu
fought and made their slaughter, that
the French war m Tunis ws< oau-cl by
the French money sharks, who desirex!
to extend their financial o|>emti<>ns.
The **Credit Foucicr" of France, which
t may answer to our “Credit Mobilier,” is
1 res]Mnsilde for the Tunis w«r. Govern
ment* ought to be alsivo these aoullo-s
I corporations and able to resist then
•.Itiah aggression*. The industrious
Italian went into Nortli Africa, and la
gan to construct railroads. Tho Fiouch
capitalists l*ecame poMesscd with tho
idea that they Would s;»eculate m these
•hadow representations of wealth. They
Invested. Thcv Ixvame entangled in
the not, and lienee the war. French
capital appealed to French arm- for
protection. France answered the sp|s-*l
ufilnnatively and went to war. A more
mercenary eani|uugn wus never waged,
under tho banner* of u civiliz-ed nation.
Heaven knows that wars, under what. ver
auspices, are cruel, lxirl>*rous and
brutal to tin. last degree. Thry repress
| tho man and develop the brute They
smother the g.s-1 ui humanity, and
throw to tho surface the evils of tho
race. Fer.x-ity takes the place of force,
and savagely nsnqm the place of bravery
i As General Hherman said, "In whatever
' light wo l.s.k at it, war is hell." Ono <>f
! the great works of civilization yet to lx*
j aooompluihed, I* to disarm the world.
To f;n to work to gratify ambition is a
tcrnblo ain ; to take up arms to use in
auger 1* weak, na well s* wicked ; but to
go to war for plunder, for mercenary
! end*, is to Im* uiis)H*akably deprav<*l.
Tho men who sent tho army i.gnuiat 1
Tunis were the money sharks of Paris.
GoVA-rnment has the right to follow her
•Uiten- and demand that they be pro
tected, but have they not a right first to
ascertain Uio character of tho cnpit.l
under which they intend to go to war?
Nations aliould not lie piling, d into war
to gratify the ixx-ket* of meu who project
I Panama canal*, Tehuantepec ship rail
-1 way enterprises, nor for those who
i six-culate in railway stock* in the north
lof Africa. Tho itatesmaiisliip of the
world will be larger and wiser when it
refuses to Ire inflnaneesl unduly by these
corporations, whose rights sh. -.ld lx*
settled without involving the country iu
war. The money and blood of tho |M<>
pie should not bi. put up lor tho benefit
of the iMopl.- in corpora
