The Tourists of Price Hill, Cincin nati a successful travel club of several years' standing has recently joined the general federation. The club idea was brought to Price Hill from "The Tourists' of Cedar Rapids, la., by Miss Julia Burnet (Mrs. Clarence A. Turrell). wno, with Miss Nellie Moore (Mrs. Asa Uushnell Morgan), organized a new club in October, 1884, upon the same general plan. After going about Europe in true tourist style for two years, the Tourists settled down for a year in Germany, studying music, literature and art The fourth year they gave to a more thor ough enjoyment of Italy and England. I hen patriotism led them, tired of exile, devote two years to their own coun try. And during this time they also visited Canada, made the fashionable trip to Alaska and had a very satisfac tory glimpse of Mexico. The past sea son found them delighted with their well planned tour through South Amer ica. The Tourists meet from 3 to 5 o'clock every other Tuesday, from October to June. The usual afternoon programme calls for quotations in response to roll call, one or two papers, a reading1 or recitation, musical interludes, and ends with a half hour's conversation on a given topic under a named leader. Having followed the plan of rotation in office for seven years, the Tourists have proved it an excellent one, keeping up the interest and bringing out the latent talents of each individual mem ber. The newly printed programme greets the members at the first regular meet ing each fall always on the first Tues day in October. The programme Is prepared during the three months of the summer recess, by a committee of three members appointed by the new execu tive committee after the aunual election in May. The programme committee, acting with the president, has full power to map out the route and assign the work. The work on this committee is considered the most difficult and im portant that can be given a member; but each in turn has declared herself well repaid for her labor by the thor ough knowledge of interesting countries gained in the necessarily studious prepa ration. Some account of . one of the Tourists' half hour conversations may perhaps in terest those who would like to make such a feature a part of their own club pro grammes. "Myths and Folk Lore of the Amazonian Indians" proved one of the most entertaining topics of their recent tour through South America. After giv ing an introductory explanation of the subject, the leader, Miss Kate Leslie Moore, called upon members of the club for tales and legends current among these Indians. The myths, as was con clusively proved, have their variants among the negroes of our southern states, as well as among the Kaffirs and Hotten tots of southern Africa. The members of the club had received an intimation that they were to be called upon for cer tain work and were found well prepared. Among the Tourists it is considered a more difficult task to lead a conversation than to write a pajn-r. It is necessary to be prepared at all ioints. for the member depended upon for na especially impor tant Dart may disauuoint one. She may perhaps bring a scrap of paper bristling with uninteresting statistics, which she calmly proceeds to read, or, having learned the . little article privately be stowed upon hor by heart, nervously makes of it a parrothke recitation. It requires a great deal of tact and consid erable practice before the one endeavor ing to lead can successfully overcome the deadening effects of such additions to the conversation. Realizing what splendid drill these half hour conversations are, the Tourists strive bravely after the ideal extemporaneous speech. When occa sionally the conversation degenerates into a series of little readings and the failure from their ideal conversation dampens their ardor and hurts their pride the Tourists always find that it is becau e a multiplicity of other interests has pre vented them from taking time for proper preparation. This is essential to even the smallest success. Cor. Homemaker. A Leap 'Year Proposition. As leap year is upon us the moment ous question. Shall women propose? con fronts us in various newspaper columns, with its usual four yearly regularity. Conservative people will of coursa pooh pooh the idea, and the more frivo lous laugh at the same. Some of our radical, would be social innovators will be advocates, and others will fulminate their varied denunciations. Considered in the abstract we do not see why a woman should not express her natural preferences as freely as a man in regard to the opposite sex. Indeed, she seems to be free to do so in every Other respect but that of love and mar riage. And yet is not this the most im portant of all earthly relations to the human race as society is at present or ganized? Mere reasoning aside, however, other considerations enter into our estimates of propriety. Here we have sentiment, which so largely makes up the sum of womanly opinions on most subjects out side of broad and breathing. As the majority of people think now, and as they will probably continue to think for many years to come, there are certain moral and social questions wherein old time precedent will doubt less continue to rule! The realm of nonrtship and marriage still lies fully within these prescribed limits. In this aftVir it has from time imme morial been hrr inalienable and alto gether charming privilege to be the one who should be sought, wooed and won.' Whether this be abstractly right . or wrong it is so ingrained in the very nature of society at large that the iso lated kicks which are here and there made have so far produced little or no effect. Yankee Blade. Money That Patti II as Earned. That marvelous little diva, Adelina Patti, is with us again. When I saw her last time she had charming Titian nair hair in which there was a sugges tion of autumnal sunset. Now they tell me her hair is as dark as a raven's wing. What a pretty and gifted woman Patti is! And to think of the money which she h:vM honestly earned riyi her sweet voice! Not less than $:1.000.K)0, 1 should say, including douceurs from the czar of Russia and the kings and potentates of Europe. Hor Craig-y-Nos castle is a royal palaco. Of all the women that have come end gone upon this earth not one has ever earned so much money as Adelina Patti, the daughter of a wan dering Italian minstrel. Queens and favorites have been richer than she, but the wealth was not of their getting. When 1 last saw Patti it was in the Hoffman House last year. I called by invitation. She had been suffering from a cold and had not been singing for nearly a week. She was gracious and affable and vivacious, but in the midst of, the chatter which had lasted for a half hour her devoted, husband, Nico Uni, interposed, and informed her that THE MAN WITH A FAILING. Ms Efforts Relieve the In tens Anxi ety Wfrt) Mot Appreciated. It was 10:o0 o'clock at night, and the rain and wind and darkness made it a wild one, when the train suddenly came to a halt Some one had swung a lan tern on the track about a quarter of a mile from the bridge spanning Shady creek. Those of us who turned out to learn what was up saw a farmer-looking man come back to the smoking car with the conductor, and when in out of the storm the latter asked: "Now, then, you say there's trouble ahead. What is it? Talk fast, for I am now twelve minutes behind time." . The man was about forty yearn old, dressed in coarse clothing and was wet to the skin. The lantern was an old fashioned one, made of tin, and the light was' furnished by a piece of candle about three inches long. "Look a-here, gineral," he replied to the conductor in a nervous ,way, "go sorter slow on me or I can't tell yo' the story." "What do you mean?" "I've I've got a failin. If yo' git me excited 111 stut-stut-stutter till yo' can't understand a word 1 say." "Very well: you stopped us?" 'Yee; I felt called to do it Hold on, now! Don't push me!" ni give you time. You live near here, don't you?" "Right up by the branch thar. Lived thar' goin on twenty years. Eeep cool, gineral, and don't git me narvona. I'm a-dous all right so fur." "Well, you felt called upon to stop us?" "I did. It's been rainin purty steady fur about a week." "Yea." "The branch haa jest been a-humpin of herself fur the last two days." " Yes, the water has been rising." "Hold on, gineral! Don't chip in too fast I'm a-holdin of myself as hard as I kin, but I feel my tongue wobblin around. This noon 1 seen the water risin mighty fast and 1 felt it my duty to watch it i went up agin about dark and then agin an hour ago. I knowed when you was due here, and" "And you stopped us. Good heavens, manl but the bridge is goneP "Hold on, gineral! You are goin too fast! 1 t-t-told you if you g-g-got me ex -ex" "Take it easv." replied the conductor. "Just think what you want tu bo am then speak very slow. Great lands! but what an escape!" "Gineral. 1 reckoned yo'd worry about the bridge." "Yes, I've boim very anxious about it" "Yo knowed. the water was risin way up." "Yea." "1 told the Id woman you'd worry about it, and that I'd best git the lantern and stop the t-t-train a-a-and t-t-tell tell" "Take it easy, man, there's no hurry. You got your lantern and stopped the train to tell us that the bridge had been floated off by the freshet I understand and 1 can promise you" "Ginerair "Yes." "The bridge is all right! I reckoned yo'd worry over it, and so I got the lan tern and stopped the train to tell you that the water had gone down four feet and the bridge hadn't suffered a ha'rt" 1 dont remember all the conductor said when he got at the facta, nor how many passengers helped throw the man down among the bushes, but when the train moved on he was banging the old tin lantern around and calling: "G-G-Gineral, 111 be h-h-hanged if 1 don't see this old r-r-road in T-T-Texaa before 1 ever do it another fa-fa-favor!" New York World. Antldoto for Snake and Do Bites. Dr. Engela has discovered in Africa remedy for blood poisoning .caused by the bitea of snakes and rabid dogs. This remedy is the "wild growing black noble palm." It is stated that 600 ne groes bitten by poisonous snakes were treated with the extract of the palm and lb? were cured in five days. Of sixty five farmers and negroes bitten by rabid dogs all but two were saved. The extract is injected under the 6kn and causes a moderate fever. On the third day the fever and inflammation disappear, and on the fifth or seventh day the patient is cured. New York Telegram. Two Ways of Removing Mildew.
