MARCELLUS, MICH., IS ENTIRELY IN
THEIR HANDS.

Tbe new woman ia in her sphere in
the village of Marcellns, Mich., which,
if signs and pretensions are verified,
, will soon be controlled by tbe fair sex.
Marcellns will go down into history
as a town praotically ran by the new
woman, who not only controls tbe man
agement of the public schools, bnt also
has a word to say in the conduct of its
political affairs, and in the administra
tion of its varied business interests.
The town has the distinction of hav
ing the only woman undertaker in the
United States. There also resides in the
village a female barber, and it is need
less to say she enjoys a generous patron
age. These women are master hands in
their respective professions, and are pos
sessors of comfortable fortunes.
The movement, which has attracted
more than state attention, first assumed
form in 1893, when tbe poor manage
ment of the schools of the place resulted
in the election of two women members
of the board of education.
This was the starting point Of the
new woman movement, and the mason
line portion of tbe village was dazed by
the audacity of their Svives and sweet
heart Nest spring, it is officially announced,
the new women, under tbe leadership of
Mrs. J. Cromley, who is tbe prime
originator of the movement, will at
tempt by the ballot to secure the abolish
ment of the sale of intoxicating liquors
in the village.
Three saloons are now doing business,
but tbe agitation, which bas been per
sistent, threatens to wipe them out.
. The time has come in the affairs of
the town when the men have been forced
to acknowledge themselves back num
bers. In many homes domestio affairs
have simply changed about The wom
en now go to the lodge, ride tbe goat,
attend the meetings of town clubs, while
.the husbands remain at home to care for
the infants.
The first woman to go into business
was Mrs. Anna Walters, the wife of the
resident undertaker. - Her husband was
taken ill at a time when business was
exceedingly brisk. He was without as
sistance, and in despair turned to his
wife, who was not slow in mastering
the exacting requirements of the busi
ness, and the wants of customers were
given equally as good attention as though
tbe husband himself had performed tbe
last functions for the dead.
The result of Mrs. Walters' practical
acquirement of the rudiments of tbe pro
fession will be a partnership with her
husband in tbe business. She is a typ
ical new woman, claiming that her sex
is better fitted not only in tbe'manner of
conducting business affairs, but that it
takes a greater interest in making them
successful than tbe men.
Mrs. Melissa Decker is another wom
an whose success has been nothing short
of phenomenal. It is she who trims tbe
. public whiskers. She wields tbe razor
, deftly, shaves with skill, and for nine
years has found time to hold a chair reg
ularly in her husband's shop, calling
"Next!" in a manner that would do
credit to an old timer. Her fame bas ex
: tended far and wide, and in consequence
. the patronage of the shop has doubled
, tbe last two years.
A notable instance of the growing
power of the new woman is tbe ousting
of the male janitor in tbe United Breth
ren church and the appointment of a
,woman as his successor. He was de
clared by tbe official church board to be
inoompetent, and Miss Ella Wilcox, a
pietty girl, got tbe position.
Marcellns, the only town in Michigan
practically controlled by the wives and
sweethearts of its former rulers, prom
ises to inaugurate a new era in tbe
state's history. New York Recorder.
Eighteen Hundred Tears After Death.
When the pick used by the excavator
at Pompeii gives forth a hollow sound
when striking the great bed of lava,
care is immediately-taken to open the
cavity that is known to be near. Into
this cavity liquid plaster of paris is
- poured. The cavity serves as a mold, and
the plaster soon hardens. When the lava
has been removed, the statue obtained
usually proves to be that of a woman
or man in the agonizing convulsions of
death, the limbs contorted and tbe fea
tures drawn out of shape just as they
were when the person was overtaken by
the flood of redhot lava 1,800 years ago.

FIGHT ON A LOCOMOTIVE.
An Engineer's Desperate Struggle With a
Drnnken Fireman, .
Craied by liquor, Barney Long of
Schuylkill Haven, a fireman on a Read
ing coal train, the other night attempted
to murder tbe engineer and steal tbe
locomotive.
The crew, with W. H. White as con
ductor; started from Port Richmond,
where Long, unknown to the crew, took
en several bottles of liquor. On coming
up tbe, line tbe engineer, noticing that
the supply of steam was getting low,
remonstrated with tbe fireman for hla
negligence, when it was seen that he
was intoxicated.
The steam becoming very low, the
engineer cut loose from tbe train at
Monooaoy, three miles from Birdsboro,
and started for the latter place to tele
graph for assistance. Fireman Long
was then crazed by the liquor, and, no
ticing that the engine was running
empty, be climbed on the footboard of
the large coal dirt burner and started to
creep into the engineer's cab to stop tbe
engine. On tbe narrow footboard of the
rapidly moving engine the fight began.
The struggle was fierce and the en
gineer grasped a monkey wrench and
commenced striking the fireman with it
He was unable to entirely subdue him,
and when Birdsboro was reached, the
engineer saw that a switch was thrown
and that they were running into a sid
ing. The locomotive was stopped and
the engineer ran back.
Then the fireman, seeing tbe engineer
off tbe engine, reversed it, but fortu
nately tbe switch was thrown again in
time and the only damage done was the
running of the engine off the track. The
fireman was seriously injured, and it is
thought his skull was fractured by the
terrible beating. Philadelphia Press.
r The Mercenary.
The mercenary fighting man is a per
son who seldom receives bis dne reward
during bis lifetime or his just meed of
fame after his death. The character is
one so alien to the age in which we live,
it belongs so entirely to the days w$en
fighting was the onlyoccupation fqr a
gentleman, that it has forfeited alike Our
study and our sympathy. Volunteers we
understand, but mercenaries we do not
The world apparently has grown ? to
think that fighting as a profession the
care ' trade of arms unconsecrated by
any sentiment of cause or country is
not a noble thing and should not, how
ever ably and gallantly followed, be ad
judged the highest praise.
Possibly the world is right, but we
suspect that change of system in tbe
training of fighting men bas had far
more influence than mere abstract hu
manity, in creating this opinion. Is
these days of short service and swift
wars tbe old type of professional fight
ing man has become extinct In every
country the recruit is forced through a
soldier's education at high pressure and
returned to civil life as speedily as pos
sible that be may earn money to pay for
tbe education of others. No man, unless
he be an officer, devotes bis whole life
time to the military calling, and conse
quently tbe few mercenaries the name
is too ignoble for them who are known
to us in these later times are without
exception officers Gordon, for instance,
Valentine Baker and Hqbart. It was not
so of old, when tbe rule was once a sol
dier always a soldier, and tbe only
school was war. Then few men dreamed
of rising to command except through
the ranks, and many gentlemen preferred
to stay all their lives in the ranks or at
highest to carry the ensigns of their
companies. Veteran soldiers were worth
their weight in gold, and though by no
means Innocent of rapacity followed
their calling from sheer devotion to it
and thought themselves unlucky if they
died in their beds. Macmillan's Maga

Color Blind.
John Dalton, without whose discovery
of the laws of chemioal combination
chemistry as an exact science could
hardly exist, was wholly color blind.
His knowledge of tbe fact came about
by a happening of the sort which we
call chance. On his mother's birthday,
when be was a man of 26, be took her a
pair of stockings which he bad seen in
a shop window labeled :
"Silk, and newest fashion. " , : ;
"Thee has bought me a pair of grand
hose, John," said tbe mother, "bnt
what made thee fancy such a bright col
or? Why, I can never show myself? at
meeting in them. " ' .
John was much disconcerted, but be
told her that he considered the stockings
to be of ; a very proper go to meeting
color, as they were a dark bluish drab.
Why, they 're red as a cherry, John, ' '
was her astonished reply.
Neither be nor bis brother Jonathan
could see anything bnt drab in tbe stock
ings, and they rested in tbe belief that
the good wife's eyes were out of order
until 6he, having consulted various
neighbors, returned with tbe verdict
"Varra fine stuff, bnt - uncommon scar
lety." - - - - :
Tbe consequence was that John Dal
ton became almost the first to direct the
attention of tbe scientific world to tbe
subject of color blindness. Tooth's

TAKE TO WASHING.
WHY THE CHINESE LIKE THAT BUSI
NESS IN THIS COUNTRY.
It Is So Much Easter Here Than at Home
. in China Washing In lee Covered Ponds
' and Beating Oat the Dirt With Stones
For Very Small Pay.
Among the thousands of Chinamen
in this city few, besides the store and
restaurant keepers on Race street, follow
any other calling than that of laundry
man. Consequently many Americans
believe that the majority of China's
millions are laundrymen, who, when
not squirting water through their teeth
upon shirts and linen, spend their time
eating rats and puppies or indulging in
the questionable enjoyments of tbe
"flower boats. " Tbe truth is that the
Celestial Kingdom's 450,000,000 of tea
drinkers do a smaller percentage of
washing than any other large country.
What little washable clothing they wear
is cleansed in tbe paddy fields near tbe
wearer's borne, and only tbe Europeans
and richer class of natives require the
assistance of a washman.
That important item of expense, tbe
wash bill, is reduced to a minimum in
China, where the Eurepean's clothing is
eagerly sought by young and old male
natives, who are glad to do up in first
class order white sbirts, white waist
coats or anything at all for 75 cents per
hundred. This will partly explain why
our Chinese residents prefer to do our
laundry work to waiting on our tables
or sweating on a farm, as tbe money re
ceived for ironing and finishing a single
white shirt will support him two days
in his native country. Another reason is
that when at work behind his ironing
board, breathing tbe close air of bis lit
tle shop, be appreciates tbe one hundred
and one conveniences that he conld not
afford in China: Tubs, hot water, self
acting soaps and washboards have not
yet been introduced in his native home
and have never been thought of by the
poor beggars doing np shirts at three
quarters of a cent, apiece. - Tbere they
stand on tbe low shores of a paddy field,
ankle deep in the mud and ooze, and
after soaking the clothes slap them
against tbe smooth stones put there for
this purpose until tbe dirt becomes
loosened and can be rubbed out with the
bands. ,
Within tbe limits of tbe American
settlement of the treaty port of Shang
hai are several ponds filled with from
two to four feet qf rainwater. In sum
mer these ponds .are used by the wash
men and for irrigating neighboring
paddy and rice fields, while in winter
tbe ice accumulating is carefully pre
served. " .
Tbe Chinese themselves do not use ice
for any purpose, tbe most refreshing
drink to them in tbe hot spells being
boiling hot tea without milk or sugar.
Sinoe tbe '.advent of the foreigner the
Cbmaman has found that it pays to pre
serve tbe scanty ice of Shanghai during
the short winters. The icehouses sur
rounding tbe ponds are low structures
formed of wood, mud and thick layers
of salt hay, with tbe floors raised slight
ly above tbe level.of the water.
Adhering to bis general rule of doing
everything directly opposite to us "bar
barians," John Chinaman does not be
lieve in allowing tbe ice to form three
or more inches, but as soon as a thin
skin bas formed be breaks it up and
pushes it all through tbe narrow open
ings of tbe storehouses. Tbe breaking
of this tbin ice makes it necessary for
tbe poor natives to wade np to tbe hips
in the water of tbe ponds and with
rakes and hooks manage the ice so that
it can reach tbe storehouses.
' But to' return to the workmen, who
must work and live in winter as well
as in summer. Not having hot water
boilers and other luxuries, he must re
sort to the dirty ponds no matter how
cold tbe weather. Tbe ice, broken in tbe
center of tbe pond, is allowed to get
quite thiok along the edges, making it
necessary very often for the washman
to out through it before be can immerse
bis washing. The stiffened linen is then
slammed up against tbe smooth stone,
which soon turns into a small mound
of ice as layer after layer of water is
thrown upon it The native keeps bis
feet incased in a covering of old cloth
ing, rags and bay, while around bis
body are wrapped one or more blankets.
As he goes through bis cheerless as well
as soapless operation be is gradually
covered by the ice, wbiob forms as soon
as the water reaches bis clothing. Tak
ing into consideration all the trouble,
hardship and inconvenience tbe laundry
man in the Flowery Kingdom is com
pelled to endure while rendering white
the foreign devil's linen, be does it
much better than bis more fortunate
brother in this country, who returns our
laundry in such a careless and independ
ent fashion, and who receives, after de
ducting rent and , all expenses, eight
times more pay in return. Philadelphia

TAKE CARE OF THE CHEST.
And the Best of the Body WIU Take Can
of Itself,
"Take care of your chest," says a
physical culture teacher, "and the rest
of your body will take care of itself.
The chest is the chief thing to be remem
bered. Keep it well raised and your head,
spine and shoulders will involuntarily
assume their proper positions without
any effort on your part The cry from
parents and teachers used to be, 'Throw
your shoulders back V But this mistaken
notion is now completely exploded. The
shoulders have nothing to do with cor
rect posture. It is all the chest, and its
elevation or depression will regulate the
rest of the body. ,The chest is tbe seat
of all things spiritual, elevated and en
nobling. Bring it into prominenoe and
you bring into prominence tbe best
qualities of your nature.
"It has been said that whatever psy
chological attribute is most marked in
a human being is correspondingly most
marked in bis physical being. - If he's a
glutton, his stomach is most in evi
dence; if a scholar or brain worker, bis
bead is sure to be thrust well forward ;
but if be preserves a proper intellectual
balance be walks with bis chest in ad
vance of the rest of his body.
"It is carious, too, how one may
really influence bis own mental condi

I am ! with sunken chest and spent

'Have mercy on ns ' miserable sinners.
The effect is the same. There is no surer
cure for tbe 'blues' or like maladies
