(?HUS WHO GET LEFT. Not nil of Thom arc Forlorn Objects. St. Louis Republic. For a time ?he is an object of in terest and speculation-the girl v.ho ia on the shelf, and then her friends get u ed to her and her position in life and cease to ask her why ?he docs not marry, and to wonder if ?he really will not meet, before she is quite passe, a man who will love her well enough to win her. I do not like thc term "on the shelf,'' but it is an old familiar one and is a little more comprehensive ?han the one of "old maid." Thc girl who is on the shelf is not always homely. Beauty is HO attrac tive that when an exceedingly plain girl remains unsought and unwed one immediately linds in her lack of good looks an explanation of thc why of her singleness. No: there is thc very pretty woman who has outgrown her girlhood. And now as a woman of such charming ways and sweet smile and smooth brow wc look at her and cannot, for the life of us, guess how it could have been that she was not chosen long ago as queen of some body's heart and home. Of course we do not for a moment imagine, wheu reviewing thc girls that arc left on thc shelf, that the reason of their being left is vested in themselves, many and many a time. Wc have just goue on thinking all the while that thc un wedded woman had no choice in thc matter, that through the ruling of unkind fate thc little love god proved himself blind to all her charms and graces by passing her by, or that she was jilted. In taking stock of thc girls on thc shelf one may find thc girl who was too superior to marry. This 1 know is a reason that men-all men, abhor. But the superior girl-now a gracious woman-if you can induce her to bc interviewed, will tell you, but without any show of egotism, just what is thc truth, that fate never chanced to throw in her way a man that she felt was her superior, lt is a fact, though thc truth of it is seldom granted, that thc strongest-minded woman that ever lived likes, when she marries, to real ize that she has a husband that is capable of guiding her und not ono that she can guide, lt often happens that she docs not marry such, but do you lind her happy when realizing the necessity to rule, she rules after mar riage? Then there is the pretty girl who was honest and earnest, and hating flattery and receiving much, came to believe that "men do not mean half they say," and in time grew doubtful and then, j UH t skeptical and oydioal enough to spoil her chances as a social favorite. Then there is the busy girl-at home and abroad-whose time was all so occupied with necessary and im portant affairs that though a dozen Prince Charmings that may have rid den her way sho did not lift her eyes to look at them, but promised her self that "when sho had more time" she would lu mk uf love and marriage. And so the years slipped on. The little brothers and sisters that she stood in tho light of mother to grow up, finished school and went out into the world or were married, and when that wonderful leisure time came that she had promised herself she would devote just to her own interests, there were silvery streaks in the pretty brown hair and a settled conviction that the quiet home was restful and not so bad after all. Or, if busy as one of thc world's workers, she saw her dreams realized and her ambitions satisfied and forgot that time had hur ried on until somo well-meaning friend said, "Do you know I have often wondered why you did not marry?" "Did not." That put all oppor tunities in the psst. If the friend had only said "do not." But it was the "did not" that set her thinking. But she answered with a light little laugh and a shrug of the shoulders, "Oh. I never found anybody that wanted me." Then the friend imme diately concluded that that girl on the shelf was not telling the truth, that there had been "a romance in her life," for does any woman but the one that has at least had "chances" de clare that bhc was never wanted as a wife? Bnt let me tell you that of all the girls on the shelf there are but few _t. - V_? . I!. .0 _ .. might be unraveled from the warp and woof of their lives. The saddest of romances is the one that has ended in tho r?alisation that confidence and trust were bestowed upon one who was not worthy, for this particular shattering of an ideal man makes an honest, truthful woman donbt that there is a creature in the world that may be depended upon as good and trne. If she misses beooming a mis anthrope she is then a wise and gen erous woman, indeed, for confidence in humankind once lost is & lost para dise, never to be regained. / There are other romances that have failed, and there are as many different reasons for tfcuir failures. At these the world, usually, may only guess, and lias no right-though it often dors ? .. ,%..,. inti) t fi i-lii I " rf. There is a bright young woman, who is (mite independent in the possession of a neat little income, who says she would he quito happy if it were not thc determination of her friends to ' get her married and settled." At Christinas alie is invited to visit a classmate's home. This classmate having been married Miine 10 years before and now the motlier of a brood of rosy, noisy youngsters. "l>o come, my dear.'' writes Madame Mat ron, ''for Tom's brother will be herc, and I've just net my heart on making a match." The invitation is accepted but thc bricht young woman says that she feel-like a perfect goose because she is conscious every moment her little matronly school friend is watching thu progress of events, while all thc time she is fairly detesting ''Tom's brother." And then in the summertime, (rom seashore or mountains, there conic more invitations to visit, and it is the rarest thing if each does not contain a promise to help along "a match." The young woman goes, not because of the promised assistance to l>an Cupid, hut because she loves her dear, well-meaning friends who seem to have long ago forgotten that there came into her life a romance, and that thc memory of it still lingers. But how can they guess about the memo ry V And how do they know that abcut her neck ona slender gold chain there hangs a locket ineinslng a little oval picture? Aud they never attach any significance to the one little hoop of gold, with a tiny glittering stone that she always wears. To them that long-ago romance is but a thing of thc past, not worth remembering, and the fear of these good and well-meauing friends is that the bright young wo man that they caro HO much for will soon be regarded aH in that doleful predicament of being "on the shelf." To the little happily wedded school mate this would he terrible. It is a happier time now for women who are not married as soon as school room doors close behind them than it used to be. There is less sighing if the knight that is necessary to make the life-story of every woman com plete, docs not appear at once on the scene. There arc no more old women these days. All arc too busy to let age daunt them. Thc woman who has passed ?50 docs not put behind her all social gaiety and say with a pathetic little sigh: "O. I leave all that for thc younger folks." In fact it is rather difficult nowadays to discover when a woman has passed her twen ties. Much of it is due to dress, hut more of it is due to activity, to her interest in helping and working for others if there are not enough per sonal affairs to occupy her. The-girl of the period has not grown a bit away from her womanliness, either. Contrast the girls on thc shelf to-day with the girls on thc shelf at thc period when this horrid term originated, and if they are not a vast improvement over that dolesome lot then I'll take back all I have put down as creditable to the still un wed ded ones of to-day. Here is a tip for thc bachelor who han not yet met his ideal of woman hood: Look among the girls who have been left on the shelf, for among them. I have discovered, there arc more whose ideals are higher than the average woman's, than there are those who have simply been passed by be cause they were not charming. And who knows, but thiH very bachelor may prove the ideal man whose com ing one of thc most delightful of these women has been waiting? All the pretty women, witty women and noble women have not yet been made wives. I hope the hard-to-plcasc bachelor will profit by this friendly trip. MAKOARET HANNIS.

Mr. II. licvkoff, who was formerly connected with the Dennenberg Com- I pany of Macon, hut who is now en- j gaged in the clothing business iii Au gusta, has translated thc prayer which was offered by thc Hebrews of Jerusa lem June 17, that the American arms might prevail in thc war against Spain. This prayer was held in the Temple, the Home of Jacob, by Chief Rabbi Samuel Salanta, in thc pres ence of thc American Ambassador and iti a meeting of thousands of i Israelites. The prayer is as follows: j "Oh, God, we come to beg you, merciful God, which hears everyone's prayer. Wc are your .icrvants, th; children of Jacob. Wc stand in your Holy Temple and beg you to help our j American brethren ol the United States, thc nation in whioh you have j planted the love in them to mankind | more than in any one that lives ou i your earth. This nation went out to a great fight against a fierce enemy. Thc Americans do not mean to enlarge their country; they do not mean to take away foreign lands-they only love to make the slaves free; they only want to protect the weak froui their stronger brothers; they only want to sec justice to the world, as you, God Almighty, say in your Book, that you only waut peace and glory, as you God, knowcth all the secrets of thc man. Oh, God, look down from heaven ujmn the Americans who arc going to the battlefield to die, but to make thc poor slaves free from their murderers. Oh, (rod, help our broth ers in America. Send your angel from Heaven to protect them, and would that everywhere they go they shall gain, and that you shall honor the President of the United States and to help his officers in their man agement, and Thou shalt hold up Thy hand and break the strength of the enemy, thc unmerciful nation, thc land which is soaked in thc blood of your children. You shall take re venge now upon them, unmerciful na tion; Thou shalt weaken thc strength of them that they shall be the lowest nation in the world from to-day forever and ever, and thc uatious will know that Thou art justice and do justice between all nations, and they shall know the strength of Thy Kingdom; as you. God, the King forever and ever, and looketh upon the weak, and your resting place is in Jerusalem. Amen."-Macon Telegraph. Volcanic Region. If the United States were to annex thc Philippines, it would add to its territory a group of islands abounding in volcanoes and never entirely free from earthquakes If it were to retain only the island of Luzon it would pos sess the region in which the ingeotiB energy of the Philippines is concerned. If it were to hold only tho oity of Ma nila and a few square miles of the territory adjoining the city, there wouid bo constant danger of seismic disturbances which would destroy the city. The seismographs at the Manila observatory are constantly vibrating, showing the mighty forces below the crust of tho earth which are liable at any moment to bring disaster. The city of Manila has been frequently wasted by such convulsions, and in 18(>3 most of its public buildings were leveled to the ground. In 1880 it was again visited by an earthquake, and the destruction would have boen as great then as in 186:5, but for the fact that thc residents had profited by the lessous of the previous disaster and constructed their houses on a plan better adapted to resist the effects of these violent oscillations of thc earth. -Augusta J ferait!. Cuban Hungers On. Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 22.-G p. m. --On tho breaking up of Gen. Wheel er's camp on the Caney road on Friday tho tents and general equipment of the division headquarters were left in oharge of the quartermaster's depart ment. During the night the Cubans stealthily confiscated all the tents, stores, arms, and personal effects of the soldiers. There is no clue to the robbers. On Saturday Gen. Lawton ordered the ammunition and arms brought into town, but it was too late. Everything was gone. Gen. Kent's brigade, stationed three miles from Santiago, also lost their tents, and the soldiers marched into town barefooted their shoes and every thing obtainable having been stolen, the Cubans equipping themselves with the arms, tents and provisions of the Americans. They are continually stalking abont the camps and constant vigilence is necessary. There are 488 patients in the hospi tal at Sibony and the authorities urge their immediate removal.
