When you have saved one hundred, or two hundred, or five hundred dollars, look about for a good investment, suys Henry Clews, the New York banker, 1n the Oclober Ladies’ Home Journal. Do not take up this or that scheme at a_ven- ture, but examine it carefully, and if you see your way clear, put your money into it. Real estate is usually a good invest- mert. More money has been made in real estate than you could estimate in a day. A first mortgage is, in nine cases ont of ten, safe. But take advice on the subject before you invest. Go to some good conservative man and get his views. I should advise the same course it you should put your money in stocks or bonds, or railway shares. In fact, [ should urge, before vou invest a penny, that you get the best counse’on the sub jeet to aid you in taking the right course. If your tirst investment prospers, by acreful management, and by always be- ing on the alert, you can increase your fortune by reinvesting your profits. “PEKSONALS.

Onr dear friend Goldie is in town: again, but he seems greatly depressed with some- thing—perhap Birdie has jilted him for another. He being a pol” cian and she being one of our social girls, perhaps he did not give her the desired attention. I quite agree with you when you Said, “there is too much division among ourselves.” If you are a law- yer doctor or holding a government position of avy kind you can en- ter the social circle; let your standing be what it may. But if you hav’ent a title ora good posi- un, you are barred out. How can we even become a nation ander such circumstances? However, I shall do all in my power to assist our representative women in re- Senting the insult offered them by the white women managers of the Columbian World’s Fair. I attended the lecture at the Met | ropolitan A. M. E. Church last Tuesday night. “Theold man elo quent” never delivered a better speech in his life. He was en- thusiasticaily applauded, all through his lecture, which was on “Haiti” Four.h Auditor Lynch was also present and delivered a very able address. I have just received a letter from our dear friend Lily. She is now at ber home in Puiladelpbia. She informed me tbat she 1s studying French and German. No doubt she is preparing to go abroad. Our household has bad such a sad ex- perience abroad until there will be a delecay for many of the girls to undertake the trip again. I had a very pleasant chat with our esteem trustee of the 8th school division a few days ago, Mr. Corn ish. Ithink that be is one of the most intelligent and level-headed men that I baver ever met. He has made the industrial feature of our public schools a grand success, and I am sure that the people are great ly in debted to-him for the success that our children are weeting with Well, I witnessed tue firemans parade Thursday afternoon and greatly tomy surprise I only saw twocolored firemen andtwo dri vers in the whole parade. I am sure that the color line was tight!y drawn in this parade. Just think of it. A colored populatios of 80,000 people with only two colored firemen and an cqual number of drivers. It is about time for the colored peo ple tu kick against such discrimi- nation? Iam of the opinion if this matter was Called to the attention of Commissioner Ross he would not tolerate it. This department comes under the supervi-ion of Mr. Ross and we all know, although he is ademocrat, he knows uo man by his color. I think that Mrs. John R. Lynch | is oue of the most amiable lady’s in the household. She is an orva ment to our society as well as av acquisition. Although Iago, is not in love with superintendent Cook I “efy him to point out one blemist ov his character or reputation. Can the same be said of Iago? I am a friend of Mr. Cook, and the people are higbly proud of him. Our schools were never in a better con- dition, with but ove exception and that is our High School. I had a chat with our dear friend Lucy of the Normal schoola few days ago. I think that she is one ofthe most accomplished young woman in our schools. The Com- missioners have a yery high opin- ion of her. Don’t fail to mee: me at the Literary next week to listen to Col. Arnold. Until thenI re main. Yours traly, CLARA. DEATHS. Dr. C. M. Hammett, Health Offi- cer, presents the following report for week ending October 10th 1891. Numper of deaths 103, white 64, colored 29. Death rate per. 1,000 per. annuum: white 19.6; colored 25.8.

This is at a death rate of only 21.4, 23 white fe- | while the annual death rate for the | total population for the past 16 years is 28.91. only one fatal case from acute lung diseases occurred, while the presence of malarial in fluences is manifest inthe typheid and malarial fever cases. with the exception of diphtheria, contagious diseases are at a minimum, and the mortality among the young chil- dren has fallen to normal propor- | tions. THE AMATORY NOVEL. Caustic Anai; s of Current Literature of This In its simplest state the amatory novel is sufficiently debilitating and pernicious, but in its popular complications it be- comes intolerable, observes Elizabeth Deering Hanscom in the Boston Journal. The ever new old theme of the love of one man for one woman has largely lost its power to please the satiated appetite of the novel reading public. In the old fashioned love story we were introduced in the first chapter to the | hero, in the second chapter to the hero- ine, and then, through three volumes he pirsued her, with an eye single to her capture, until they both disappeared in acloud of bridal finery just above the word finis. But now the course of fic- titious love runs less smoothly. Love is no longer the simple, steady emotion; it flickers and wavers, is transferred from one object to another; at times dies out and again blazes into sudden fury. The ease and rapidity with which the charac- ters fall in love is equaled only by their agility in extricating themselves from the dilemma. At the close they attempt to persuade themselves and the readers that they have found a resting place, and the wedding bells essential to the com- pletion of every popular novel are forth- with rung, The idleness of this style of writing | must at times be apparent to even the most superficial. If there were anything few under the sun, the chance of its being discovered by the writers of ama- tory novels was long ago abandoned. ‘Yet still they go on, heaping agony upon agony, intensifying emotions, increasing complications, until the fundamental theme is wrested out of all harmony and magnified out of all proportions with the temainder of life. It becomes morbid, unnatural, a fungus growth, a devouring parasite. From one learn all. There is a story, at present much read, in which a man, passionately devoted to his wife, after her death finds a letter in which she suggest: iis marrying a young girl whom they have known. In an in- different fashion he accepts the sugges- tion, and in the course of a few months asks the girl to become his second wife. Although she loves uim and has confided the fact to his dying wife, she refuses, Thereupon the man becomes madly in love, but as soon as he has won her con- sent to the marriage finds that the affair begins to pall. Is this love? Is this lifei Is this the ideal or the reality that we wish to place before our young people? There prevails a theory that, as long as a book does not deal with certain pro- scribed relations, it is “moral.” The lover of ethics as they are, not as they are thought to be, has difficulty jn acceptii this theory; in fact he usually rejects it outright, but in general it passes. The interest of many of the modern amatory novels consists in allowing the char- acters to tread as near as_ possible to the hairbreadth division which the dear pub- lic has had between the realms of the moral and the immoral. If at times they seem to pass over the boundary, the ex- citement is intensified, and, provided only that they are finally proven to have stayed safely on their own side, the book is considered eminently “proper.” In many of the stories freely read and openly discussed by young people in sheltered homes there is an insidious sen- sualism, compared with which the open animality of the early English novels is innocuous. We can remove the must that is thrown at us in handfuls; it isa different matter to cleanse ourselves from the poison that we breathe, Even if the amatory novel does no worse, it lowers the ideals and subordi- nates the spiritual to the material. This is what life tends to do for most of us; we need all the strength we can gain to fight the inevitable downward trend of thought. No wise man ignores the value of the ideal in letters as well as in life, and if the amatory novel tended toward the increase or the elevation of this element its existence would at once be justified, But augment- ing, as it does, the natural dissatisfac- tion with life, without offering a means of improvement ; exaggerating, as it does, one emotion and emphasizing its sensu- ous manifestation; affording, as it does, the staple literary diet of most young people, one may reasonably challenge its right to continuance, Ont of His Latitude. An ex-Governor of Wisconsin, famous as a story teller, is reported by the Chi- cago Tribune as haviug related an anec- dote of his own experience with a man of dull, sour, and serious mien. The Governor was at a clambake in New Jer- sey, and after dinner was called npon for 8 speech, I started off by saying that I had eaten 60 many of their low neck clams that I ‘wasn’t in the least sort of condition for speechmaking. At that moment a long faced old man directly across the table scowled at me and said in a stage whis- T: “Little neck clams, little necks—not low necks.” Z I paid no attention to him and went on with my remarks. After dinner he fol- towed me out of the hall. “You are from Wisconsin, ain't you?” be asked. “Yes,” I answered. “You don’t have many clams out there, {reckon ?” “Well,” said I, “we' save some, but it’s good ways to water, and in driving them across the country their feet get gore and they don’t thrive very well.” He gave me a look that was worth a dollar and a half. “Why, man alive!” said he, “clams ain't got no feet.” ~ He turned away, and shortly afterward epproached one of my friends. “Is that fellow Governor of Wiscon- 6in?” he inquired. “Yes.” “W-a-l-l,” said he, “he may be a smart man in Wisconsin, but he’s a good deal of a fool at the seashore.” It is estimated that the intoxicating tiquor used annually in the United States would fill a canal 4 feet deep, 14 feet wide and 120 miles long. | a finger ring of. | only too glad to wear the ring.” J. .

For Rent.—Four elegant brick Short Livea atniezes. Did it ever occur to you that athletes nre rarely longlived? By athletes I mean the folks who are training themselves continually for special feats of muscular power, and I leave out the dilettante am- ateur who exercises slightly, compara- tively speaking, and then with only the object of physical development. It is my opinion, as a rule, the professional ath- lete is not a very good risk for the life insurance people. And this aside from any risks of physical injury of a sudden nature to which the athlete in the course of his performances may be subject. 1 think it would seriously stump you if] asked you to name a dozen cases of ex- treme longevity among men who have been famous for their muscular power and skill. But anybody can name a dozen people who have led sedentary lives from boyhood and attained extreme old age. Very strange as it may appear, consumption isa disease to which the swimmer, the oarsman, the runner, and the fighter have allon numerous occa. sions fallen victims, Rheumatism is an- other common disorder. All of which sometimes makes me think that nature never intended the development of the human physical energies to the point at which th¥ are often observed. The ath- lete who lives the longest is the man who used to be an athlete and gave up his ath- letic fancies and plans before he had | reached middle life. Otherwise you find that the average of years on earth of ath- letes is surprisingly low.—Interview with a Boston Trainer.— His Test of Bravery. Probably no lion in captivity sports a more luxuriant mane than old George out at the “Zoo,” says the Philadelphia Record. At any rate, it is an established fact that no lion, in or out of captivity, takes more pride in this capillary append- age. George lost some of his mane yes- terday, and has been as mad as a hornet ever since. While lying asleep with his back against the railing of the cage, dreaming of the jungles of his far off native land, a long, lank individual from the rural districts approached the cage, After cautiously glancing around to see that none of the keepers was looking he reached through the bars and firmly grasped a strand of George’s mane. Giv- ing a quick, strong jerk, he succeeded in dislodging the coveted souvenir. With a roar of rage that made the countryman tumble backward in fright the king of beasts sprang to his feet and glared sav- agely at the despoiler of his peace, who beat a hasty retreat. He afterward ex plained that he wanted the hair to make “You see,” he said, “I asked Sal to marry me, but she said she wouldn’t till Pd done somethin’ brave. ‘When I tell her I pulled this hair outer a | tive lion’s mane you kin bet she'll be | ‘Last Like Iron.’’ f Customer—Er—how about the lasting | qualities of this hat? , New Clerk—Oh, that’sall right.
