She was teleen to the Bellevue Hospitel, where with due care and proper treatment she recovered. She has chosen to comma.' her identity from the public. Nothing is known derogatory to her char- acter. It is a question whether she was mentally responsible for her rash act. Now, what do the authorities propose to do with this unfortunate young woman who is pen- sualause and friendless in this great metropo- is 2 Send her home? Provide her with I- moans to go to her friends? Help her to get employment? Send her to an appro- priate retreat for the mentally afflicted? No. She is to be arraigned as a common criminal in a police court. She has offended, say these apostles of justice, against that section of the Penal Code which declares an attempt, at suicide to be a felony putfiehable by imprisonment in a State prison. This is an absurd law. If it has missy effect it can only be to make a would-be suicide more desperate—more determined Bot to fail in the attempt. As a matter of fact it has proved a dead letter, and rightly 130. lt ought to be blotted from our steatite book.

The Badger's Weedy Thum. A young man rushed into a city police station last night to breathlessly tell the Sergeant in charge that he had been made the victim of a badger game. He had, in • the afternoon, gallantly sheltered a dashing young woman under his umbrella in Broad- way. She invited him to call on her in the evening. He accepted and was confronted at the house by a man who epraug out of a closet and played the role of the angry hus- band. It was the same old game. ''And the victim had only himself to blame for falling to the trap. It doesn't appear to be necessary for either the green -goods man or the badger gang to change tactics. Given the alluring promise of good money for a Song, and the unwary farmer glides blindly into the swindler's grasp. Given the blan- dishments of a bright woman of the street, easel the city "smart" man becomes an easy victim of the badger. It is on the cards for yesterday, for to -day, for to -morrow. --New York. World. John Mayor's Plea. Chicago Press: There was a powerful sermon in an appeal that was made by John 'Mayer, a good-looking German, to Justice Lyon yesterday. "1 can't find employ- ment, and would like to be sent to the 'Bridewell." " Well, I'll make it $25," A' said the justice. "Oh, please make it $75." II _Mayer begged, "and that will keep me till the grass grows again." And still we hear from press, pulpit and platform, and in essays on triumphant democracy, that " there is work for all, opportunity for all, plenty for all," only some folks are lazy, trifling, good-for-nothing. As a comment en this view of social conditions, John 3)/layer's plea for imprisonment for 150 days is almost tragic. No Better Off Than He.

The assertion that the 'fancy of the d flows towards tall girls, about which many essays have aleeady beea writteneve that girls are manifestly taller than th were, is, we think, true ; but it requir limitations. Nobody knows neuch tibo any general changes in the height or gir of the population, the only data we hay the measurement of recruits apnlYing enlistment, being utterly deceptive, Tin are younger and weedier, because t wages of soldiers correspond less and be with the Neatens of powerful unskilled' me because the dislike to long engagemen increases—and three years is now a lon engagement—and because the poorest an pluckiest class; is fonnd more and more overcrowded towns, where brawnino develops, if at all, rather late in lif We think ourselves, as a matt of observation, that English men an women have profited by the cheap food of the last thirty years, and a decidedly bigger than when we were lad but we freely admit that we are unaware any scientific, evidence to support th opinion. We are only sure that a certai limited class, the well-to-do section of ti middle class, lute become decidedly bigge healthier, and, as regards ite young women, apparently taller than was the cas forty years ago. We cannot imderstan how there can be any doubt upon the su ject, and would appeal with the utmost ce fidence to any jury of mothers accustome to mix in general society. They would sa thereby correcting an omission in th popular view, that in seven out of te families they knew, the sons were large than the fathers, unless the latter wer specially big men ; and that the daughtel not only were larger than the mothers, bu that they at all events seemed to be talle too, Nor is there anything surprising i the statement. The first cause o bulk and stature is probably race sve do not mean superior race, for th Negroes of many districts are bigger tha are the English, and the "barbarians were all bigger tkan the Roman soldiers wh enslaved them—but race, and the continu ance alike of pedigree and conditions of life usually involved in that word ; but the second cause is diet in infancy; and the third, training in childhood and early youth. Much milk, for example, makes good bones; and soldiers caught young visibly lengthen out under their food and drill. In both these latter conditions, the change within the last generation—eve are @peaking only of the well-to-do—has been very great indeed. The world has grown unconsciously much wiser as to the management of chil- dren. Nothing improves physique like oocl milk—that, and not porridge, is the cause of the tall Highlanders, Irishmen and Sikhs—and the little children of our dey are nouriebed on cream. -and -water, or milk procured from the great dairies, which is as good as milk can be, and as different from . the milk of thirty years ago as bran is different from old beef -tea. The very cows are of a different breed, not to mention the improvement in , their food and lodging. Then a prejudice of an extra- ordinarily injurious character—we write these sentences on first-class medical evi- dence—has silently, no one knows why, entirely disappeared. Nothing nourishes like good sugar, possessing as it does just the requisite heat -giving quality.; but the mothers of 1830-50 dreaded sugar. They had an idea that it sickened babies, who always crave for it like horses for salt; that it spoilt the teeth of growing children; and that it swelled the tongues of children a little more advanced in years—the last a fancy based on the effect of sucking taffy. They therefore withheld sugar, thus leaving the children half nourished, and perma- nently sensitive to a climate which for seven months in the year is always chilly. Nowadays, everybody among the culti- vated knows that sugar is beneficial, and the children are left to their instincts, with the result that they make flesh, and are almost always warm. Then the matrons of 1830-50 had a fixed idea, incurable by the men, who never quite aye in to it, that children, if left alone, would invariably over -eat themselves, a theory true of about 5 per cent. The nur- series were dieted like prisons, with the result—all nurses exaggerating the popular ideas—that the children who longed for food were never fed enough, and the children who disliked much food—a peculiarity of many good constitutions—wero gorged to indigestion. And finally, children are kept warm eneugh. The horrible old idea of those two decades, that children should be " hardened " by exposure, has died away; the nurseries, besides being properly Yen - Witted, are kept warm, and the whole principle of children's clothing has been radically, and we hope finally, modified in the sense that the "body," as distinguished from the limbs, is thoroughly and warmly clad. The result is, that the child with a tendency to grow does grow, and that a greatly increased percentage of boys run towards 5 feet 11 inches, and of gills to- wards a feet 8 inches and 5 feet 9 Melees, than has ever been the case before. More- over, as the boys and girls grow naturally, they keep their good looks, and, except for a year or two of life, it has become a positive rarity to see" gawky" lads and lasses, as great a rarity as to see the latter with the shining red elbows which forty years ago were at once the most" dreaded and the most frequent of the minor deformities. The improvement always, mind, in a strictly limited class which hardly considers the cost of food, is manifest at every turn, and is reported not only. by every artist, but every caricaturist the country. The undersized lads and skinny girls haae dis- appeared from pictures of the middle class, even when drawn with distinctly hostile intent. —London Spectator.

The British Government has a man Sta- tioned at Roche's Point, who is paid to record in a book the exact time thew steam- ers pass hie signal station, both inwerd arid outward bound. Since the acute rivalry between the fleet ships, of the White Star and Inman Lime/ has sprung up this mau has been evea tnore than ordmarily careful in carrying out his inetructioup, says the Pittsburg Diva/ch. In passing Roehe's Point the vessels go through a channel hardly three miles wide, and as a general thing they pass within an easy mile of the Government signal station. Since the fast ships began to reckon their speed so carefully this signal officer has timed them from the moment they were exactly abeam of his station. The outward -bound vessels usually go past him at full speed. What becomes of them after that is of no concern to the signal man. He immediately telegraphs his record to the steamship agents in Queenstown, whence it is forwarded to the mein office at Liverpool, Both the lnmen and the White Star Lines have a man of their own on Roche's Point to make observatiens and figures. Some- times they differ. But if by any possible chance the question of a vessel' e actual time came up 10 a British court of law the Government signal man's figures would stand. In a similar way the official time on the other side is taken the moment the vessel is abeam of Sandy Hook. The line is set by the compass and the telescopedoes the rest. The moment of crossing is almost as clearly defied as in the case of the running horse on the track. Passengers on the Transatlantic steamers date the time of their passage either from Land's End or from the time the vessel starts until she collies to anchor. The steamship companies do not take this into accouut at all in their official records. They know the time, of course, that a vessel leaves Liverpool, and of her arrival at Queenstown. But this is not considered in the record of her passage. The subsidized mail boats—the White Star and Cunard—usually anchor at Queens- town, a mile or two farther inside Roche's Point than do the Inman boats and other Atlantic liners which are not obliged to await the arrival of the Irish mail atQueens- town, except for a stray passenger or two. The mail boats are usually the last to get away from the harbor. What a Kiss Has Done. Was not Voltaire publicly kissed in the stage box by the beautiful Duchess de Via lars, in compliance with the demands of an enthusiastic pit to thus reward the author of " Merope ?" The kiss has been the bribe of politics, for wheu Fox was contesting the hard won seat at Westminster the beautiful Duchess of Devonshire offered to kiss all who would vote for the great statesman. And the inspiration of -patriotism is the kiss, for did not the fair Lady Gordon turn recruting sergeant when the ranks of the Scottish regimant had been depleted by Salamanca and tempted the gallant lads by placing the recruting shilling between her lips for all who would take it with their o wn ? A Fake Hen story. Rochester Herald : The newspapers hostile to ex -President Hayes have for several years had a great deal of fun at his expense over his alleged poultry farming. Now the ex -president quietly punctures the whole business with the statement made at Atlanta recently to the effect that he had never raised a chicken in his life. " The story of the chickens . was started by any, friends as a joke," said the ex -president ; " they began it for the fun of it, and others who were not friendly to me, wishing perhaps to belittle me in the eyes of the public, published the fake for all it was worth."

And I had intense pains from neuralgia, in my head, back and limbs, which were very exhausting. But 1 am glad to say that soon after I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla I saw that it was doing me good. I have now taken three bottles and am entirely Cured.of Neuralgia. I am gaining in strength rapidly, and can take a two-mile walk without feel- ing tired. I do not suffer nearly so much from catarrh, and find that as my strength increases the catarrh decreases. I am indeed a changed woman, and shall always feel grateful to Hood's Sar- saparilla for what, it has done for me.
