PERSONAL.
Tub Journal is not engaged in
making attacks upon the character and
business methods of anyone engaged lu
a legitimate business. Neither does it
tbreaten anyone with grand Jury in
dictments, or ever appear before a
grand Jury against anyone, particularly
a competitor. Avery forgiving cqm
munlty may overlook such a thing as
taking $24 to charge Innocent persons
with a crime and throw papers fre
gratis in hundreds of people's back
yards to establish tbe charge. The
Journal has only good will toward
humanity In general but the public has
little patience with those who threaten
to drive out of business any man en
gaged in making bis own living.

A Possibility.
Girls are so much more clever as clerks
than men that thd male clerk is doomed
to extinction like the dodo. The results
are disastrous both to women and to
men.
Every observer in cities must see that
nearly all classes of clerical work are
passing rapidly into the bands of young
'women. Thesejonng women enter the
offices with skillful fingers, winning
manners, industrious ways arid general
aptness to write letters, keep books, count
cash and discbarge tbe multitudinous du
ties attaching to business life. Thoy do
their work satisfactorily and welL
Taken altogether they are neater, bet
ter behaved and quicker than young men.
The result in that these bright young fel
lows, capable of doing excellent work,
are forced to toil for long hours, often
at night, for the munificent salary of $15
a month. After two or three years of
hard and faithful service promotion to
the $25 a month class is possible, while
$35 to $50 is tbe outside figure to which
a clerk may aspire if he exhibits special
qualifications and sustained devotion to
his task.
If the next 20 years witness the same
relative increase in the number of work
ing girls and women as has taken place
since 1870 in this country and the "United
States, we shall see young men doing
the housework and their sisters and
mothers carrying on half tbe business of
the land. Canadian Magazine.
The Bachelor Girl.
A friend of mine (male), who is fussy,
unreasonable and likes to argue, said to
me the other day: "I wish you wouldn't
call yourself a 'bachelor girl.' I don't
like it. It sounds too masculine. What
is a 'bachelor girl' anyway?"
"A fine institution," I replied, "a prod
uct of the times. I deny that she is mas
culine. More self reliant than the aver
age woman and less dependent than mo3t
men, she is still feminine and never for
gets tho fact. She is always well dressed
and well informed. Above all she is in
dependent and fearless. Good nature
always attends her, and she is not
ashamed of a hearty laugh. She can
appreciate a good joke, a good horse or
a good picture. She will smoke a cigar
ette before going to church .on Sunday
morning and criticise the sermon at din
ner table with the keen logic of a doctor
of metaphysics. She understands her
own temperament and pays enough at
tention to the laws of health to keep
herself robust aud wholesome. The
'bachelor girl' is not a man hater no
woman is but she prefers companion
ship to flattery." My friend was over
whelmed at this burst of eloquence.
''I greet you," he said as he lifted his
hat and passed on. Miss Knickerbocker

No Bonnets In tbe Paris Opera House.
It will seem strange to the American
Woman, with her Declaration of Inde
pendence traditions, to hear that the di
rector of tho French opera has assumed
the authority to make a hard and fast
rule with respect to ladies' bonnets. Even
small bonnets are forbidden altogether
for the occupants of the pit stalls on
Saturday, that being the only night when
ludiesare admitted to this part of the
house. Formerly tho stalls at tho French
theater were invariably reserved for men
only, but one after another their rules
havo relaxed, until the only one where it
is retained absolutely is tbo Theater
Francaise. Ever since the question of
bonnets bas been constantly mooted, but
hitherto without any actual result, it be
ing so much against the habit for ladies
to appear in pvening dross in such places
that no one under the rank of an opera
director could have ventured on their
adopting it. Paris Journal.
Ralnmftklng.
The citizens of Ya Keeney, Kan., re

mented thus on tho incident: "I 'low dis

SDRROUNDED BY MYSTERTI
A Great Mistake.
A recent discovery Is that headache,
dizziness, dullness, confusion ot the mind,
etc, are due to derangement of tba nerro
centers which aupply the brain frith nerve
ferce: that Indigestion, dyspepsia, neuralgia,
wind In stomach, etc. arise from the derange
ment of the nerve centers supplying these or
gans with nerve fluid or force. This Is likewise
truo of man v diseases of the heart and limes.
The nerve system is like a telegraph system,
as will be seen by tbe accompanying
cut- ino mug
whlto lines aro
tho nerves which
convey the nerve
force from the
nerve centers to
every part of tho
body, Just as tho
electric current la
conveyed along
the telegraph
wires to arorj
station, large or
small. Ordinary
physicians fall to
regard this fact;
Instead ot treat
ing the nerve cen
ters for the cause
of the disorders
arising therefrom
they treat the
part affected.

.peculiarities or the Siamese.
Tho wealthy Siamese, including
tho king, practically turn night into
day. All important political meet
ings aro held in tho night, and 4.
o'clock in tho morning is the hour at
which Bangkok fashionables retire
until 4 o'clock the Bucceeding after
noon. There is a semi-European the
ater in Bangkok, which was erected
by one of the present king's prede
cessors, and there aro plenty of out
door theatrical performances by na
tives, the Siamese being a pleasure
loving people and fond of all Borts
of entertainments.
The worst tiling that can happen
to a man in Siam is to get into debt,
from which there is never any es
cape, owing to the exorbitant inter
est charged. Onco in debt, there is no
appeal, the debtor being stripped of
his clothes and compelled to work in
fetters, generally for the rest of his
life, to pay the interest. Drunkards
are not permitted to give evidence in
tho law courts of Siam.
Tho Buddhist priests, clad in yel
low robes, are to be seen everywhere
in Bangkok, and it is quite common
for young men to enter tho priest
hood, which affords them an easy
and luxurious existence, owing to
the liberality of the populace toward
any one sanctified to tho service of
Buddha. Demorest's.
The Helllni: Tolnt.
Why is it that in boiling in an open
vessel such liquids aB cider, etc., wa
ter only escapes in steam, while tho
strength remains, while in boiling it
In a retort, as in a still, the strength
passes away in tho steam, and in dis
tilling salt or impure water only the
pure water" passes off in the steam?
This is because of a difference in
the boiling pbints in tho fluids, and
that under the increased pressure of
a retort the boiling point is higher
than that of water in the open air at
tho ordinary pressure of the atmos
phere. If cider had a higher boiling
point than water when tho water
boils at 100 degrees, it alonowill pass
off, except of course it takes some
little cider with it mechanically. On
the contrary, if alcohol were present,
before tho boiling point of water
were reached most of tho spirits
wouia have passed away. If the In
creased pressure of the retort al
lows it on tho boiling point of the
fluids therein being reached, sup
poso the heat to bo great enough,
thoy will bo changed to vapor and

A Traveling Case.
It was once remarked by a judge
of one of the courts of New York
city that he had "held chambers in a
cab." Judge Drummond of tho
United States circuit court was start
ing from Milwaukee to go to Chi
cago when counsel desired to bring
on a motion for a receiver in a rail
road case. Accordingly the judge
opened a special term in a parlor cor
and heard arguments while en route.
But a still more remarkable hear
ing once took place in Sierra county,
CaL, when Judge Searls of tho dis
trict court was on his way from Ne
vada to Plumas county.
At Downieville two lawyers had
agreed to argue a motion when the
judge arrived, but as time was press
ing and both counsel were also go
ing to Plumas it was decided to ride
along on muleback and hear argu
ment on the way.
Up the mule trail from Downieville
to Monte Cristo, down to Oak ranch
and so on to Eureka the argument
went on. At Eureka the case was ex
amined and summed up, and in due
time a decision was reached.
The Joser consoled himself by say
ing that he had at least ascended the
mountain without being conscious of
tho grade.
When the judge suggested that the
mule might have felt as usual, the
counsel naively replied:
"Sir, I am inclined to think from
tho result that he, too, was absorbed
in helping to make up tho opinion."
