Albany , N. Y. , Feb. 13. So much depends upon the individual ghi that it id quite impossible to gen eralize ndvico to lit un unknown spccinl cnsc. An observation of the neglected girl in her nmvolcnmo role as nvall - llower"might disclose some of the lacks of which she is unconscious. As a rule girls who uro popular with mates of their own sex are apt to common 1 themselves to sensible und right- hearted young men. Perhaps the Al bany maiden is not ns natural , as viva cious and friendly with young men of her acquaintance ns she is with her girl friends. There is a great charm in naturalness. Constraint , sclf-con- fcclousness , an absurd imitation dignity , tend to make the cullers of sweets in the "rosebud garden of girls" pass on to other ( lowers that are more inviting. There is n homely adage to the cllect that " 'they who would have friends must show themselves friendly. " The faccoiul qucstiou is easier to an swer. No woman should think of mar rying n man who is "is no sense a com panion for her. " Companionship , with all that this implies of congenial tastes nnd harmonious mental , moral and af- fectional qualities , is one of the chief ends and lineal characteristics of true marriage. Hut our young friend should not mis take mere gontlomnnlincss for the sure marks of a gentleman. Too many girls accept correct dressing and agreeable inanncrri as the sign of "a perfect gen tleman. " This is but the outward show- It is the limn behind and beneath these externals whom the woman must live with if she marries him. And "an or dinary but good man" maUoa a very fit husbana for an ordinary but good woman. How to Marry Well. What girls should never forget is to lie neat ! Not primly so. bulunintily so. The girl well got up , with irreproach able gloves , and shoes that lit , though her goivn be only cotton , yet if itbe well turned out , may compote with the rich est , while the slovenly dresser , who ecorns or lorgots to give attention to details , is passed over by the discon tented eye , though her gown may bo a masterpiece of Worth A girl should learn to put her gown on pro-perl > ' , says the Ladies' Homo Journal. No creature living takes more heed of externals than your orthodox man. Ho may not know the price , color or material of your clothes , but ho will know to a , nicety whether you are well or badly gowned. One special point I Would impress upon the girl who desires , ( ns all girls do ] to range themselves well , to malco u good marriage is to bo gentle. The craze for vivacity , for the frco and easy style that border so closely on the man ners of the demi monde that distin guished tjio society of ten years ago has providentially died a natural death. Now-a-dsiys , men are sensible enough to look for comfdrt in their marrioU lives. And surely the knowledge that one's future wife has u heart as tender ns it is sympathetic should , and doc ? , go far to arrange a man'b decision of who fcluill bo the partner of his daily life. Ctitntni ; Styles In Clown * . The question is not yet settled be yond u porivdvonturo as to what the prevailing styles in gowns will bo , says the L.n < lios' Home Journal. There are rumors that a little more boulTancy will bo given to the skirts of summer gowns and gomo of the latest importations fchow the hip panicrs of a decade ago. Sleeves will bo. more moderate in their proportions and plainer in tlieia outlines , a modified , reduced glgot being most favored. It is reported also that side forms in the back will run to the shoulder in- btcad of tlio arm scio and in line of ( lurlb ; there will bo one scam in front also running to the shoulder. Bodic.o beams will be corded again on dit. Kufllos will appear in various widths , tomotimus arranged in groups up the front. Mauve nnd amethyst shades are ex ceedingly fashionable , and many gowns hnvo a colored trout , which is edged with llowors or a ruche of the color , nnd the color is rcucated as trimmincrs for the neck and sleeves a fashion which hns much to recommend it , since the dress is completely altered by the bubstitution oi a different color. liiMturtlncnco Hubukeil. It is the iashion of some" women -to heap visitors waiting an unconscionable time for absolutely no reason at all butte to gratify n caprtco or fad of theirs. Heaven knows whore they got the idea , but some of the dear creatures imngino that it is a canon of high-bred etiquette to let a caller cool his or her heels in the parlor for half an hour or so after the servant brings up the card. This impertinence is most often oflurcd by women to women. A biiporh young woman who had high birth and abundance of money saucily told a girl in her sot recently that she always kept callers waiting twenty min utes before she appeared , bays the Pitts- burg Dispatch. The girl who received this valuable piece of news called upon the golden calf a low days afterward. She tent up her card and the footman returned with the message that Miss ? - would bo down in a few minutes. The culler took out her watch , nnd when to von minutes had expired wrote upon ono of her cards : " 1 have boon gone just thirteen minutes , " Loaylng this card on the table , the young lady took her ceparturo. OlUerft hi America. It is no small honor to bo the oldest literary society for women in America. This honor is claimed by the Ladies' Library association of Kulmazoo , Mich. , tays n writer in the Now England Man Ktuluo. Thlrty-sovon years ago , ih January , 183 : ! , when tno commonwoalto of Michigan was in iU teens , nud thy bcnuttf al llttlo city ol Kaluiazoo baroli able to stand alone and men's hand- were full with clearlnglanda and build- l ig homes nnd Ilndlinr broad for their families u number of earnest women in the llttlo village mot ono day to solve the problem : "How can wo fur nish intellectual food for ourselves and our children in this new land ? It vraa n vital question. Thny had comomany of them , from NcwKnghnU homes ; and inherited tastes not easily laid nway ; they wa-itcd booksand lecturesbutbooks wore scarce , nnd lecturers scarcer , und money , alas ! scarcest of all. It was clearly n case for orgnnlzcrt effort What ono could not do , many might ; and when earnest women organize to help themselves nnd their children , who will predict failure ? The imme diate result of that afternoon's work was the organization of a society whoso avowed objects were the establishment and maintenance of a circulating library , it ml * the promotion of literary culture in the town. From that day to this , a period of nearly forty years , the association has been in active operation nnd hns deviated not ono Imir's breadth from the original objects. The means have varied with the growth and liter ary advancement of the town and the requirements of the age ; the end has been the same. AndtUu-Inn Girls. The Andnlusian girl is almost invari ably a petite brunette , and although not nil arc plump and many are too stout , the iiiujorlty have exquisitely symmetrical tapering limbs , well de veloped busts nnd the most dainty nnd refined hands and feet , says the Lon don edition of the New York Herald. Regarding these feet Gautier makes the most astounding disclosures that "without any poetical cxaggurntion.it would bo easy here in Seville to find women whoso feet an infant might hold in its 1 Kinds. A French girl of seven or eight could not wear the shoes of an Andalusian of twenty. " I am glad to attest to that , if the feet of Scvillian women really were so mon strously small fifty years ago , they are so no longer. It is discouraging to see a man like Guiltier full into the vulgar error of fancying that bccauso n small foot is a thing of beauty , therefore the smaller the foot the more beautiful it must be. Beauty of feet , hands and waists is a matter of proportion , not of absolute size , and too small feet , hands nnd waistb are not beautiful but ugly. Wo might as well argue that since a man's foot ought to bo larger than a woman's , therefore the larger his foot the more ho has of manly beauty. If the Anda lusian women really had feet so small that a baby might hold them in its hand they would not bo able to walk at all , or , at least , not gracefully. But it is precisely their graceful gait and car riage for which they uro famed and ad mired. .Mnkinz n "U'enpnu of It. The latest device lor feminine com fort and peace of mintl is the patent pedestrian umbrella holder , which en ables a lady to suspend the article at her side , something after the fashion of an olliccr's sword , bays the New York Sun. This is a particualarly desirable invention for chilly days when ono de sires to keep both hands inside a muff , or for shopping excursions , when one hand is laden with samples and the other is required to lift the dress at ill- swept crossings. Then , too , the aver age woman is fee inclined to put her um brella down at her side when buying a ticket in a station or making a pur chase at a counter anil never think of taking it up again. Now all these awk ward situations and discomforts are avoided simply by wearing a safety chain about the waist from which de pends a chatelaine with a short sheath encircling auu supoorting the umbrella just where it fastens when rolled up smartly. The chatelaine hangs from either side just far enough back on the side of the dress to prevent the um brella swinging when walking. When not in use the sheath may bo carried in the pocket , nnd the chain , chatelaine , and all are of bilvor or nickel , some what after the style of the key chains worn by men. Wninniily Grace nnil nanty. All people agree that beauty lies in health and proper vigorous proportions , to speak roughly , says Elizabeth Bis- land in the Cosmopolitan Magazine , nnd yet women so fragil as thihtlc-down , and consumed with a wasting disease , have at times a beauty more potent than that of the rosiest young maiden. Helen , thu daughter of the gods , was most dcviucly tall nnd fair and Cleo patra was "little and blank , " it is said , nnd kingdoms were thrown away for both of them. There is ono thing very certain : Thu amount of fcminino beauty in the World has increased enor mously since the days of Helen and the Serpent of Old Nile. Men do not leave their homes nnd light ten years for even the most radiant beauty today ; nor do the great conquerors thinic the world well lost for any modern-smile. In the days of Helen , nnd even of Cleopatra , beauty was far moro rare than now. Women in all but the wealthiest clashes were illy protected from the ilibcomforts that destroy beauty and harden and coalman feminine loveliness. They did heavy manual labor , wore poorly fed or protected from wind and weather , und , like the peas ants of many of the Latin.tuitions today , while they may have had a certain beaute du diuulo in the llrst Hush of youth , the radiance quickly died nnd left them ugly borvants and boasts of burden. Therefore , when n woman arose who possessed the true beauty that age cannot wither nor custom stale , men wout mad after her. fought to possess her , and possessing her thought the world but a bubble in com parison. Selection of this sort was , of course , constantly at work improving the typo , nnd the survival of the fittest , ago by ago , lilted up the general piano of beauty. As civiliza tion grow , women no longer trudged with heavy burdens through rain nnd blinding heat after nomad husbands , and their fcot grow delicate and highly arched. The riotier wives resigned the coarser labors to their servants , and used their fingers only to spin delicate- threads , to make rich needlework , to spin , to thrum the strings of mandolin and lute , to curl the bilkun tresses of their infants nnd to smooth the brows nnd bind the wounds of their lovers nnd warriors. The palms grow , llko Dosdemonn's moist nnd tender ; tlionalls.no longer broken with coarse labor , gleamed like the delicate transparent macro of a , shell. The skin , protected from the sun nnd wind , grow fair and clour as rose leaves , the lips ruddy and soft. Their hair , carefully washed nnd tended , wound itself into vino-liko curls , and took the smooth gleam of eilk. Sunlciont food gave rounded contours ; long hours of soft slumber sprinkled the dow in the violets of their eyes , and thu movements of dance and guy motion made their limbs slender find supple , nnd at last the modern beauty was evolved.

Detroit Free Press : It is high noon of nn August day. Hot ! Whew ! but how the summer sun beats down on the great prairie scorching , withering , shriveling heat ing the blood of man and an linn I until it seems to boill Wo have turned aside into this grove of cotton\vooJs ns much for shelter as to prepare nnd cat the noonday menl. There nro one- three five seven ten trees , cover ing n space of a quarter of nn aero. Here a spring hubbies up from strata ol sand nnd gravel , and so manv thousand animals have como here to siako their thirst that the earth in bnro of grass for the space of two acres. Not exactly bare , but cropped oil so short and trod den under foot so often that it is only n thin carpet to cover the soil The paths radiating away through the dry nnd waving grass are like the spokes of a wheel. Ahl but water touches the spot on a day like this when ono has been in the saddle since sunrise. Each man of UH says so by word of mouth , and each horse says so in his look of relief after his thirst has been quenched. Whisky 1 Braodyl Champagne ! They would have boon Hung aside with n feeling of dis gust. " miles to " Thcro are no signboards on the prairie. Turn which way you will nnd the horizon descends to the waving grase. Wo are drifting on a vast in land sea a sea of earth nnd pra and dying llowcrs both grass and llowers yielding up their lives to the weeds of dry , hot weather. Ono may huvo com pany and comforts , and no may be cer tain that if ho holds true to the com pass ho will como out safely , but yet thn feeling steals over him-at intervals that ho is lost driven here nnd there by wind and wave and current. "What ails that horsoV We all sprang up to see ono of the saddle-horses a veteran in years and experience standing with his head high in the air and poiated due west. While ho looks as fixedly ns if his eyes had lost their power to tilrn , his nos trils quiver and dilate with excitement. We watch him a full minute. He was the first to exhibit alarm , but now ono horse after another throws Up his head and looks to the west. "It's lire , boys1' ! Had it been night wo should have seen the rolleclion. Had there been : i strong wind the odor would have come tons sooner. There is only a gentle breeze languishing , dying under the Ilcrce sun , but resurrected and given a new lease of lifo at intervals by an un known power. But now wo can see the smoke driving heaven wards and shutting the _ blu2 of the west from our vision now the horbes show such s-igns that no man could mistake. A great wall of flame fifty miles in length is rolling toward us" fanned nnd driven by a breeze of ns , own creation , but coming slowly and grandly. It takes me two or three" minutes to climb to the top of one of the trees , and from my elevated posi tion I can get a grand view of the wave of lire which is driving before it every thing that lives and can move. Wo work fast. Blankets are wet at the spring and hung up between the trees to make a bulwark against sparks und smoke , the hor.scs doubly secured , camp equipage piled up and covered , and before we are through wo have vis itors. Ten or twelve buffaloes came thundering imss the grove halt and return to its shelter , crowding ns close to the horses as they can , and showing no fear at our presence. Next como three or four antelopes , their bright eyes bulging out with fear , and their nostrils blowing out the heavy odor with snarp sno'rts. Ono rubs against me and licks my hand and 1 rub her nose. nose.Yelpl Yelp ! Here arc a half dozen wolves , who crowd among the bullalos and tremble with terror , and a score of serpents race over the open ground to reach the wet ditch which carries oil the overflow of the spring. Last to come , and only a railo ahead of the wave , which is licking up everything in its path , is a mustang a single animal which has somehow been separated from his herd. Ho comes from the north , racing to reach the grove before the lire shall cut him oil' , and ho runs for liis life. vVilh cars laid back , nose pointing , and his eyes fixed on his goal , his pace is that of a thunderbolt. He leaps square over ono pile of camp outfit and goes ton rods beyond before ho can check himself. Then ho comes trotting back and crowds between two ol our norses wun a ipw wninny , Thcro is a roar like Niagara. The smoke drives over us in a pall liUo mid night. Tlio air seems to bo ono sheet of llamo. The wave has swept up to the edge of the bare ground and is divid ing to pnbs us by. Wo are in an oven. The horses snort and cough and plunge the wolves howl and moan as the heat and smoke become intolerable. Thus for five minutes and then relief comes. The llamo has passed and the smoke is driving away. In their path is n cool breeze , every whiff of which is a grand elixir. In ten minutes the grove is so clear of smoke that wo can see every foot of the earth again. A queer sight it is. It has been the hayon of refuge for snaked , lizards , gophers , prairie dogs , rabbits , coyotes , wolves , antelopes , deer , buffaloes , horses nnd men en mity , antipathy and hunger suppressed for the noneo that all might live that each might escape the liend in pui > uit. For half an Hour nothing moves. Then the mustang flings up his head , blows the lust of the smoke from his nostrils nnd starts olT with a flourish of his heals. The buffaloes go next the deer and antclopo follow , nnd in live minutes wo nro loft nlone. For fifty miles to tno north , west nnd south there is nothing but black ness a landscape of despair. Away to the east the wall of lira is still moving on and on implacable relentless a liond whoso harvest is death und whoso trail is desolation. For bracing up the nerves , purifying the blood and curing sick headache and dyspepsia , there is nothing equal to Hood's Sarsaparillu. linn- hone 1 > 3 nir.ls Ijlvj ? How long do birds live ? This is nn interesting question , for everybody ad mires birds , and any information re garding them is generally acceptable , rhoso who have investigated the matter .ells us that some birds nro very long lived ; for Instance- Is assorted that the swan has reached the ago of 800 years , says a Brooklyn Standard Union. Ivnnucr , in his work entitled "Nntur- lilstorlkor , " atatos that ho has scan a raleou that was 10U years old. The fol lowing examples nro cited ns to the longevity of the eagle and vulture : A tea eagle , captured in 1815 , nnd al ready several years old , died 101 years iftorward , in 1810 ; u whito-liendod vul ture , captured in 1700 , died In 1830 , in ono of the aviaries of Shoenbrunn cas- Llo , near Vienna , whore it had passed 118 years in captivity.

CENSUS BLMECAU PLANS. \Vontlcri oT Gntnurltiu Inforiimtioi About the Greatest of Countries Electricity will do the counting. Bj that wonderful fluid agent , for the first time in the history of the world , the population of n country ivill bo enumer ated in the year of our Lord 1SOO. Three months from the present date the census bureau will have thrown into the field nn nrmy of 45,000 men , which will sweep the United StatOb clofta of information on pretty nearly every imaginable sub ject that has a statistical bearinir , writes a correspondent of the Denver Republi can. Thnn a deluge of facts will begin to pour into the two huge offices hero , whore S,000 ! clerks will be industriously engaged in sifting and resolving thorn into intelligible shape. As the super intendent himself bais , the story told by the reports of the agents 61 the bureau will follow the least important indi vidual in this vast land from the crndlo to the grave nay , more from thorn you can estimate your chances in 1UO before you were born of being twins or triplets , nnd can calculate the probabilities that were in favor of your turning out a boyer or a girl , They will show that you hail only two chances in three of surviving your first year of life , and from Unit time on they will figure upon your lenso of thu snblupnry existence , until at length the ghoulish compiler of these gathered figure : ) , without bowels or re morse , joyfully tabulates you in his ex hibit of "causes of death.1 Not con tout with discovering the day and place of-your birth , the census will insist upon knowing from what race you are sprung , what your bex is , if any , and where your father and mother wuro born. Also it will require information ns to whether you are married , single or divorced ; how high above the. bea- level you live , in what great drainage basin you dwell , what the lowest degree of cold may be from which you suffer in the winter , how hot you find it in bummer - mer when the thermomelei touches its top notch , and how many other people live with you in your house. As for the house , 'you will be compelled , under penalty of n fine of $100 , to say whether you own it or not if you do o\vn it , whether or not there is a mortgage on it , and supposing that there is one , thu reason why you borrowed the money on the property. The census is much interested in your private affairs , you see , and if you have n barn around the house , you will have to tell similar facts about that , even to. the value of the cows and the tools in the barn. All this is merely the beginning and does not touch upon the great subjects of agri culture , manufacturer mining , trans portation by land and water both of people ple and of freight , fisheries , taxation , and so on , all of which will be gone into in the most exhaustive manner , the very proccbses employed in at least twenty-two of the manufacturing in dustries , for instance , bsing given with the fullest detail. And yet all this mass of information frill eventually be condensed into atiout twenty-throe volumes , which will be entitled the tenth census of the United States. Now. how are all these facts gath ered1 It is very simple , when tlio thing is once explained. To begin with , the whole of the United States is divided into 170 districts. These districts nro necessarily of varying sizes , it being intended to arrange mat ters bo that the work to bo done in any ono district shall bo as nearly equal as possible to the labor required "in any other. For instance , Philadelphia is ono district and Massachusetts is an other district. But then , thu census of the Bay State will not be moro trou ble than that of the Quaker City , for the reason that Massachusetts takes a census of Us own every ten years , and the machinery for that purpose is al ready so well organized there that the task will bo much simplified. New York city is al.so a district and likewise Chicago , the four districts mentioned being largest of all In respect to popu lation. Kach district has a person in charge of it entitled a supervisor , appointed by President Harrison , and under each supervisor is a regiment of enumerators. Each enumerator is given a little district of his own , so ar ranged as to contain from 1COO to 2.000 people. It is his business to go personally - ally to every family in his district and till out the blank schedules given him by the bupervisor with the information ho obtains from the households visited information. that is , as to the members which compose them in all the details as to personal history , etc. , before spoken of. lie is allowed ono month to do this work if it is in rural parts and two weeks in case it is in a city of 10,000 or moro , the labor being moro easily accomplished whore people live close together. In payment for his services ho received 3 cents for each live person reported on and ; i cents for each dead person who has departed this lifo at any time during the census year , from the 1st of last Juno to the last day of the following May. The enumerator also gets 13 * cents for each factory or institution and 20 cents for each farm visited. An entirely now de parture in conbus taking made this time is in providing enumerators with ' family schedules , " Keeping the information mation about each household by itself. Finally , the completed schedules are mailed by the enumerators to the su pervisor to whom llioy ) look ns their chief. The bupervisor is responsible for the accuracy of the schedules , and , if they nro lacking hi any respect , ho sends thorn back to ' the enumerators. But , if they are all right , ho forwards them to the superintendent of the con- eus nt Washington. There Is nothing hue fir , Thomas' Electric Oil to quickly euro a cold-or rclluvo nonrsli- ness.
