FOR THE FAIR SEX.
Rules for Lady Trareler*.
A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune,
in view of the difficulties and dangers
encountered by ladies traveling
alone, suggests that they should observe
the following rules:
1. Before starting on a journey, familiarize
yourself with the ronte and with
names of good hotels at the various stopping
places.
2. Never travel with "just enough "
money, but always carry enough to provide
against any possible emergency.
This will save much anxiety.
3. Wear little jewelry and keep the
larger part of your money in some inside
pocket out of sight.
4. Always look after yourself, and do
not allow a stranger to procure yonr
ticket or check for your baggage.
5. Avoid, if possible, making changes
in car bj night, bat, -when unavoidable,
go with others. Do not become separated
from the crowd.
6. Take no hacks, but go in an omnibus
whore there are other people. These
are perfectly safe.
7. If in any doubt as to changing cars,
checking baggage, etc., inquire in advance
of the conductor. The conductors
on our trains are always polite and will- j
ing to bo of service, especially to women ;
traveling alone.
8. Do not T>ait till about to make some j
change in the train, before inquiring of
the conductor, for, ten to one, he will j
then be hurried, and you will only half j
inform yourself. And finally,
9. Under all circumstances endeavor j
to retain presence of mind. One who \
can do this will never have any trouble
traveling; and instead of it being unwise
for women to travel alone, I think it an i
advantage to them to make trips alone, j
for there are few people who are not at
times obliged to do so, and experience j
does away with much of the possible ,j
danger in traveling.
Fashion Notes.
The so-called short costumes are of
the most inconvenient length imaginable.
The taste for black silk toilets and j
black millinery prevails as much as \
ever.
Short costumes take only eighteen |
yards of medium-width stuff for a full i
dress.
The so-called " bourettes" of this
season are not the goods of last fall and
and spring.
Endive green is a iavorite shade for j
evening toilet. It looks like a greenish :
Bilver by gaslight.
The new hosiery is hair-lined horizon- :
tally in bright colors on neutral and j
cream white grounds.
Feathers in cashmere shades are novelties.
They are grouped together in
shades of Indian cashmere.
New satin ribbons are doubled-faced,
the favorite colors being a dark crimson
with a light shade of mauve.
Striped velvet, plain and in two colors,
is the fircft novelty of the season. That j
'with two colors is, of necessity, the most!
showy.
Fancy buttons and flat gilt buttons |
are. used profusely on the clan tartan and j
fancy plaid suits so fashionable at the
moment.
A new style of bracelet is made of deli- i
cnte flexible spirals of gold in one con- j
tinuous piece, and bo arranged that it 1
will fit any arm.
Many red velvet bonnets edged with j
farriftt hftad and cold cords, and trimmed !
with shaded red plumes and red roses !
are seen among the novelties in milli-1
rf nery.
Close bonnets, with both the front and i
sides fitted to the head, and broad crowns,
are called princess. They are intended
to match the gracefully clinging effect of
the princess dress.
The new princess dresses made in
Paris by first-class modistes are accompanied
by an underdress?a combination
of bodice and petticoat in one?which is
to be worn with the dress.
Coating is the name of a material resembling
homespun. It has a comparatively
smooth surface, and is a mixture
of three or four dark, rich colors, so
perfectly blended as to produce the appearance
of one color.
The old-fashioned moire antique appears
in some of the new dresses. It is
used for a trimming, and folded so that
the satin and watered stripes give the
same effect as if two materials were employed.
_
Hair Eels.
In many parts of the country the notion
has long prevailed that if horse
hairs be placed in a brook and left there,
thev will after a time become endowed
with life ; in short, that they will turn

on this subject was pub- j
* lialied iu the columns of a prominent j
J- Sootch newspaper, between an anony- i
mous writer and Dr. Andrew Wilson, of j
the Edinburgh school of medicine ; the !
former alleging that a friend in Shet- :
land had succeeded in effecting the J
* transformation of hairs into " hair eels," ,
the latter denying that any such " spon-1
' 4 taneous generation" of living beings |
was possible. The life history of the
Qordiua aquations, as naturalists name
the hair eel, is perfectly well known. It
' passes the earlier stages of its existence
as a parasite, lying coiled up within
the body of an insect, such as the grasshopper
; the worm exceeding its host j
"many times in length. In this condi-1
tion it is immature, and has no power :
of reproducing its kind. When mature, j
it leaves the body of the insect and j
seeks the water, being found in summer |
at the breeding season in thousands in
some' localities. There the eggs are !
laid in long strings, and from each is !
developed a tiny embryo or young gor- |
urns, wuiuu guuta uumiuttuuH iu uu m
. sect host, there to lie quiescent for a i
: % time, and soon to repeat the history of I
its parent.
It is plain that in such a life-history j
,there is neither room nor need for the
supposition that hair eels are developed ,
. in an unnatural fashion, and at the will ;
of man. The fallacy that hair eeln are
transformed hairs arises frequently from
imperfect observation ; often from preoonceived
notions, and from an inability
to perceive the unnatural nature of the '
supposition, or to reason out the pro- j
oedure adopted to produce the hair eols. !
Thus, for instance, it would be an ab- !
surd supposition were any one to main,
tain that hair eels could only be formed
artificially from hairs. It is a perfectly
evident truth and demonstrable fact that
ihey reproduce their kind by means of
eggs, and this faot shows us that they
possess a natural method of reproduc-.
tion, and further, that the statement of
?aay supposed infringement of a natural
law should be reoeivel with caution and
suspicion. ?Scientific. American.
Oratory versus Journalism.
The press is a great equalizer. The
<. adventitious advantages of rank and
position, the glamour of manner and
delivery and personal presence, the
graces and gifts of oratory, which give
% weight to the spoken word, disappear,
and arguments and facts go for their
true value. The purpose of oratory was
to sway to immediate effort?to fuse the
listening mass nt a white heat to united
instantaneous action. The press is like
the mills of the gods?grinding slowly
but exceeding small Its aim is the slow
upbuilding of ideas and the grad ual inculcation
of principles, which, after thought
and discussion, may in time bear fruit.
- The aim of the Greek orator was a direct
result, which, with a people so excitable
and volatile, was of frequent accomplishment.
Canied nway by the fiery outbursts
of Demosthenes, they would declare
war on the spot. " Let us go and
fight Philip 1" was the cry which rose
and swelled as the deafening plaudits
which followed one of his rounded periods
died away. Had the same bitter
invective and strenuous appeal appeared
in oold print and been read, stripped of
its magnetism of tone and gesture, the
same men would have met each other it
the baths or on the mart and said: " By
the way, did you see that artiole iof
Demosthenes yesterday on Philip of
Maoedon?" " Yes." " Well, now, t,bat
was a pretty sharp editorial, wasn't! it ?
If Philip don't mind what he's aboo,t, I
~ shouldn't at all be surprised if lie*had
war one of these days." /

ringing signals to the engineer, giving
hasty orders to the wheelsman, ensconc'
ing himself in a pair of oil-skin trousers
so capacious I half expected he
would disappear altogether; and so,
i amid the roar of escaping 6team, the
creaking of davit tackle, the laughing
excitement of the crews, and the rattle
of rowlocks, I tumbled head-foremosl
into a boat, and the steamer was left be!
hind. Now the flirting of tiny tails was
| plainly visible, but I must confess thai
j I did not learn to distinguish the reddisl
hue which indicates a school of these
fish until much later in the day. The
two large boats side by side were sculled
rapidly toward the shore where the fisb
were seen, the forward part of each boal
piled full of the brown seine, which extended
in a great festoon from one tc
i he other. There were four men in each
boat, all standing up, and in our red
shirts and shiny yellow oil-skin overalls,
we must have made a pretty picture on
that sunny morning. Close by was a
pound net, where a porpoise was rolling
gaily, notwithstanding his captivity; but
by maneuvering we got the " bunch "
turned away from it and well inshore
where the water was not too deep. At
last we were close to them, and now
came a scene of excitement.
" Heave it!" yelled the captain,and in
each boat a sailor whose place it was
worked like a steam-engine, throwing
the net overboard, while the crews
pulled with all their muscles in opposite
directions around a circle perhaps
a hundred yards in diameter, and defined
by the line of cork buoys left behind,
which should inclose the fish.
In three minutes the boats were together
again, the net was all paid out,
an enormous weight cf lead had been
thrown overboard, drawing after it a
line rove through the rings along the
bottom of tho seine. The effect, of
course, was instantly to pucker the
bottom of the net into a purse, and
thus, before tha poor bunkers had fairly
apprehended their danger, they were
caught in a bag whose invisible folds
held a cubic acre or two of water.
This was sport! I had not bargained
for the hard worn to come to tne unsportive
character of which my blistered.
palms soon testified.
None- of the fish were to be seen.
Every fin of them had sunk to the bottom.
Whether we had caught ten or
ten thousand remained to be proved.
Now lifting the net is no easy job. The
weight of nearly ten thousand square
yards of seine is alone immense, but
when it is wet with cold sea-water, and
held back by the pnshiog of thousands
of energetic little noses, to pull it into
a rocking boat implies hard work. However,
little by little it came over the
gunwales, the first thing being to bring
up the great sinker and ascertain that
the closing of the purse at the bottom
had been properly executed. Yard by
yard the cork line was contracted, and
one after another the frightened captives
began to appear, some folded into
a wrinkle or caught by the gills in a
torn mesh (and such were thrown
back) until at last the bag was reduced
to only a few feet in diameter, and the
menhaden were seen, a sheeny, gray,
struggling mass, whioh bellied out the
net under the cork line and under the
boats, in vain anxiety to pass the
curious barrier which on every side
hemmed them in, and in leaping efforts

ing fellows. How they gleamed, like
fish of jewels and gold! The sunshine
finding its way down throngh the clear
green water seemed not to reflect from
their iridescent scales, but to penetrate
them all, and illumine their bodies from
within with a wonderful changing flame.
Gleaming, shifting, lambent waves of
oolor flashed and paled before my entranced
eyes?gray as the fishes turned
their backs, sweeping brightly back
with a thousand brilliant tints as they
showed their sides?soft, undefined and
mutable, down there under the green
glass of the sea ; while, to show them
the better, myriads of minute medusae
carried hither and thither glittering
little phosphorescent lanterns in gossamer
frames and transparent globes.
All possible slack having now been
taken in, the steamer approaches, and
towing us away to deeper water?for we
are drifting toward a lee shore?comes to
a stand-still, and the work of loading be<rmu
tho nnrk unfl is lifted ud and
made fast to tho steamer's bulwarks, to
which the boats have already attached
themselves at one end, holding together
at the other. This crowds all the bunkers
together in a mass between the two
boats and the steamer's side, where the
water boils with the churning of thousands
of active fins. A twenty-foot our
is plunged into the mass, but will not
suffice to sound its living depths. Then
a great dipper of strong netting on an
iron hoop is let down by tackle from the
yard-arm, dipped into the mass under
the guidance of a man on deck who holds
the handle, the pony-engine puffs and
shakes, and away aloft for an instant
swings a mass of bunkers, only to be upset
and fall like so much sparkling water
into the resounding hold.
" How many does that dipper hold ?"
" About a thousand."
" Very well, I will count how many
times it goes after a load."
But I didn't. I forgot in looking down
the hatchway. The floor of the shallow
hold was paved with animated silver, and
every new addition falling in a lovely
cataract from far overhead seemed to
shatter a million rainbows as it struck
the yielding mass below, and slid away
on every side to glitter in a now iridescence
till another myriad of diamonds
rained down. If you take it in your hand,

it is doubtiul if ever a ship crossed thai
fierce-tempered current without seeing

i the prevailing winds of the North At
! lantic are southwest and northwest, ex
' cept certain local winds near the Englisl
? ohannel, and the northeast trades blow
' ing from Cape Finisterre to the Cape d<
' Verd. When the southwest wind hai
1 been blowing awhile, it has a strong in
: clination to shift into the northwest, ant
1 the longer it blows the more it wants t(

s violent is the change when it comes,
' Now, the meeting of the warm current

' of electricity; and, although sometimef

^ yet, when it does shift, it always does s<

1 corpos aant08t or St. Eimo's candles,
i electric lights which, without any warn;
ing, are seen suddenly perched on th<
end of every spar, producing a mosl
1 mysterious and beautiful effect. Thej
1 do not always come in heavy weather,
although generally seen at such a time,
and many seamen consider it a bad omer
1 to have one shine on a man's face wher
1 he is aloft; but this superstition is wear
ing away. Another electrical pheno;
menon at sea is"a round ball the size ol
a full moon, but brighter and redder,
1 passing slo wly from one cloud to another,
sometimes succeeded by a terrific exBlo
sion of thunder. One is surprised tbai
ships are not oftener struck by light
ning, but, although the bolts sometimef
fall in quick succession directly around
the vessel, they are generally attracted
1 by the water. I may mention here i
; remarkable flash of lightning that I sa^
once in a most unexpected manner. Ir
fho far was the constant, flickei
of forked lightning out of a dense cur
tain of cloud -which tho dusk of evening
1 made all the blacker, and the roll o;
thunder was incessant, and, althong!
very distant, gave an indescribable im
pression of vastness to sea and sky. A!
at once there came a flash that seemed t<
shoot out of every part of the heavens
and to spring from every part of th<
horizon, bars of white light crossing anc
recrossing each other, interwoven into i
' network of ineffable glory, seeming t<
inclose and inlace the whole of the visi
1 ble universe. Every one on board wai
1 blinded for some moments with th<
' fervid splendor of the heavens. It ii
well known that there are two kinds o
1 lightning?the red and the white?th<
' latter darting with ten times the rapidity
of the former, and far more dangerous
' But the red lightning is far more com
mon at sea than on land, and is oftenej

y Where Edison Failed. g
We remember meeting Mr. Edison,
'? some years ago, when he was most
9 deeply absorbed in his experiments re8
lating to the oondnotibility of sound an
I through various mediums, and had a a
long and interesting conversation with P?
him upon that subjeot. We conversed
3 upon tho well-known fact that the same
r medinm of transmission has different m
1 properties at c^'fTerent times. We both fir
| cited instances m wnicn a man iorty- ?
three years old, though rising his ut- ^
1 most strength of lung and voice, could
? not shout loud enough, at half past six e,(
' j o'clock in the morning, to awaken a boy
? I nine years old just on the other side of Ui
5 I a lath and plaster partition, while at ao
? eleven o'clock that night the same boy ga
would hear a low w histle on the sidewalk, P?
k through three doors and two flights of ^
J stairs, and would spring instantly out <?
: of a sound sleep in response to it. pr
It was a belief of Mr. Edison's at that m
- time, that sound could be made to travel
i as rapidly as feeling, and to test the
matter he had invented a delicate ma- an
3 chine called the spanctrophone, which fr,
3 he was just about trying when we met inj
J him. We wore greatly interested in the lo;
I machine and readily agreed to assist in mi
j the experiment. By the aid of Mr. Edi- ~
' son and a 6treet car nickel, we enticed ^
into the laboratory a boy about seven toi
6 years old. 0":
After many times reassuring him and P?
3 promising him solemnly that he would R1'
5 not be hurt, we got the machine attached e*
r to him, and the great inventor laid the
i boy across his knees in the most ap- 0f
} proved, old - fashioned Solomonic th
" | method. On a disk of the machine deli- hi
I | cate indices were to record, one the exi
j act time of the sound of the spank, the ^
| other the exact second the boy howled. ^
3 j The boy was a little suspicious at this ^
^ | point of the experiment, and with his th
71 head partly turned was glaring fearfully tri
I at the inventor. Mr. Edison raised his
< | hand. A piercing howl rent the air, Cc
1 j followed by a sharp concussion like the
1 : snapping of a musket cap, and when ab
" ' we examined the dial plate of the ma- sh
' j chine infallible science proudly demon- ol<
' ; strated that the boy howled sixty-eight utl
! seconds before ho was slapped. The
> j boy went down stairs in three strides,
" j with an injured look upon his fearful
c I face. Yc
' i Mr. Edison threw the machine out of fa.
j | the window after the urchin, and we felt aP
| j that it was no time to intrude upon the 711
' j sorrows of a great soul, writhing under. 1
1 a humiliating sense of failure. We have
7 never met Mr. Edison since, but we ^
1 have always thought ho didn't know ^
r much about boys, or he would know
" how utterly unreliable the best of them in
> would be for scientific experiment.? tr<

Modern Advertising. an
j We admire enterprise, wo like to eee j:?1
trade prosper, and we believe in adver- an
j tising. We don't caro how many papers de

l. A New Orleans dispatch of the fourth to a r;
New York nanor rives the following fearful .
" details: " tfhe fever seems still to maintain its ?
' bold upon the onter borders of the city, more f
especially in tbe rear and lower limits, with a 3
1 farther extension oat of Algiers ap to Greta*. r
In the center of the city only a few cases still g
y linger. The best aatborities say that there 0
a have not been less than twenty-five thousand v
e caees of fever in this city ap to the present H
s time. Last night and this morning, accom- a
5 panied bv two physicians of the Howard and a
a Young Men's Christian associations, Drg.
f Grosart and George Stnmpf, I drove along the
a rear portions of the city, where large nnmbers
i of oar population are now suffering from the t
a fever. In some places I found two, three and *
3 four children in one bed, all down with the a
fever. At one place there were eight in the t
f family?father, mother and aix children*?ribine F
sick and some wel', but only one bed for them e
all. Several I found lying on the bare floor, 1
. having under them only a few rags, and with t
? tilth and vile odors in every comer. In this a
p bouse I noticed one of the patients particu- v
larly, a young girl of about seventeen summers, *
with handsome, regular features and large t
1 dark eyes that wero inexpreseifly sad. Sho F
' seemed sinking amid the squalor and indecen- g
7 cy of the apartment. At another placo I f
" saw four children lying in one bed, all of t
whom had been taken sick within a few hours t
0 of each other. Still another family was visited a
' where three children had been stricken down
within about fifteen minutes of eaoh other. It

3 recovered. Some would take no medicine what- P
0 ever; in coo instance, through the ignorance '
and stupidity of the parents, the medicine was
. mixed all together, and all given at one dose.
It The great tendency with the children seemed
9 to be toward relapsing. One little creature
y had had two relapses, once through eating
acorns after he h*4 been up and about for
1 some days. A considerable number of the
patients I saw had no strength; indeed, they
seemed to have been utterly broken down beI
fore they were taken sick. Some of these had
: not taken a mouthful of food for several days.
There was filth, destitution, and almost starva'
tion everywhere."

named, up to the sixth, were as follows:

e " Our situation is indescribable, and none .
i- would believe it unless they saw for them- I
selves. I am the only citizen who has not had (

From Baton Bouge, La., comes the following

I The Best Capital. I
s Integrity of character and truth in the j
3 inner man are the prerequisites of suo- i
* ceBS in any calling, and especially so in \
that of the merchant. There are attri- ;
8 butes which never fail to command re- t
spect and win admiration. No one fails j
to appreciate them, and if " they do not ]
pay" in the vulgar sense of the phrase,
they bring an amount of satisfaction and
v peace to the owner that all the wealth of f
* Croasus could not yield. There is no
o better stock in trade than these princi- j
b Dies?no capital ?oes so far or pays so
t well, or is so exempt from bankruptcy ?
? and loss. When known, they give |
y credit and confidence, and in the hardest i
,t of times will honor your paper in banks,
a They give you the capital to do business
* upon, and the general faith of mankind I
* will be your guaranty that you will not j
9 fail. Let every young man, upon com- c
menoing business look well to these^n- <
i, dispensable elements of success, and j
i. defend them as he would the apple of I

6 here, he wilMmperil everything. Bank- i
uptcyin character is seldom repaired,

y Thrilling Experience of Grave Robbers. |
^ At Cleveland, O., Joiner, the grave (
robber, gave in court a vivid description 1
B of his expedition with Carlisle and Minor j
e for the body of Edwin French, which
was found in a Cleveland medical insti- i
;- tute. At one time after the body had ]
e been taken from the grave, Carlisle and (
Minor came in hot haste to him and said
? that the town had been aroused, and j
that they wonld be discovered. Me was 1
told to drive away as fast as possible.
He told them he mnst have his money
first. They told him he would get no j
0 money unless they got something to sell j
for money. He said he would go and j
It get the body himself, for he must have
e money, and would as soon die in getting i
3 the body as go home to a starving wife j
* and children and thus die. One of the .
others went up the street a short dietance,
and came back and reported that
6 it was a false alarm. Men were simply
a I at work on the decoration of the town
e for the next day, when th? president
? was to be there. They told them to
drive down by a back street while they
bagged the body and dragged it through
a corufield to the buggy. The fright
s which they received, however, iuduced
' them to leave tho grave in the condition
6 in which it was fouud by the watchman
when he returned and discovered that
o the body had been removed.

re could never see the slightest cause, reasonhie
or otherwise, for a fat man's convention,
inlesa it be the fact that misery loves com>any.
