The strike of freight conductors, switchmen and brake man on the Illinois Central railroad has become a serious one and threatens to blockade its entire business. The subur ban train men struck this morning after the earlv trains had come in and there are about 1300 men idle and the business of the road is paralyzed. The bone of conten tion in the strike is undoubtedly E. G. Russell, superintendent of the northern lines of the Illinois Wisconsin railroad. He came to Chicago a year ago and ever since his accession to the office, it is said, 1 ho men under him have been dissatisfied. The immediate cause was the resignation of Trainmaster Berry and his assistant Ir win K. Pushie. The strikers did not wish to be held re sponsible for interfering with the United States mails, the express companies and bonded matter. They, therefore, attached the mail and express cars to the engine of the Xew Orleans mail train, but left the conches with their exasperated passengers unconnected. It was the intention to send the disconnected coaches down at sched uled time, but Jtfr. Sullivan, the general superintendent of the Illinois Central, explained that the railroad-company has no contract with the Vunited Suites government to carry muils except on regular passenger trains and the train dispatcher was not authorized to give orders for the train to start until it could start with all its usual passenger couches. The strikers refused to allow the whole train to move anil warned Mr. Sul livan as they had not prevented the trans portation of the mail and express matter that the railroad detained it at the com pany's own risk. General Manager Beck, General Super intendent Sullivan and the heads of the traffic departments had a conference today with representatives of the strikers, in General Manager Beck's office. The men demanded that Superintendent Russell's name be stricken from the card, and stated their determination not to return to work until this was done. They said there was no room for compromise on the subject. Xot one of them would go to work again under him or consent to receive another order from him. General Manager Beck was ordered to support Russell, but the situation was admitted by the official and his subordinates to be very serious. The officials ended their conference at 1:30 for the day. The only conclusion ar rived at was that they would resist the men's demand for Russell's discharge. They now await overtures on the part of their employes who are out and it is said that unless the men return to work to morrow the company will proceed to hire new men. The tie-np will cause serious trouble, not only locally, but throughout a large sectionof country, both west and south. The suburban traffic of the road is enormous. The trains run in and 'jut of the city overy few miuutes from 5 p. m. until midnight and are usually crowded. All these people are now thrown upon their own resources of t transportation. But it is not this that will trouble the commercial world. To stop freight traffic on the Illinois Central railroad means to prevent the thousands and thousands of people in northern Iowa, in southern Illinois, in Kentucky, Tennes see, Mississippi and Louisiana from get ting products to market. The yards in this city are already tilled with freight enrs and the stalling of trains now in transit will block nearly every transfer track touched by the road. The Michigan Central, Baltimore Ohio and Big Four roads, which enter the city over the Illinois Central tracks, were seriously interferred with owing to the blockade created by tho motionless trains of the Illinois Central.

The bac calaureate address before the graduating classes of 1890 of the university of Michi gan was delivered by President James B. Angell in university hall this evening. The large auditorium, seating over 3,000, was filled, the graduates occupying seats in the center of the lower floor. The hall and lobbies were decorated with large flags and the university colors, mauve and blue. The subject of President Angell's address was "The Heroic Spirit in Life." It pointed out to the young graduates the trials and difficulties with which they soon would have to struggle and the best plans for overcoming them. He said: "You are called to high and special ser vice. I venture to believe that not one of you purposes to be a mere dilettante, to float lazily down the stream of life without an active effort to reach some worthy goal. Every one of you feels that his real work 'in life is now truly to begin, and everyone is burning to make a good beginning. Let us see what are some of the demands which life is to make on you for lofty purpose, manly courage, and strenuous toil. If you are to render worthy service, those homely virtues, pa tience and industry are required in abund ant measure, especially in the year just before you. There comes few experiences in life harder to bear than the enforced Avaiting for opportunities to oxcrcise one's gifts, which" so often marks the begin ning of one's professional career. I counsel you in such, circumstances to take any position, however hum ble, if you are competent to fill it, rather than to sit in idleness bemoaning vour bad fortune. To fill a humble posi tion well is the best way to secure a call to a higher position. "The somewhat conspicuous position in societv for which your training should have fitted you demauds that you should cherish high moral ideals. It demauds the lu'gh purpose, the fixed resolve, the heroic de termination to meet every exigency of life with tho most unfaltering devotion to tho right. Only men of the best moral strain, under all vicissitudes and temptations, hold themselves up to this olevated moral plane. But it is they alone who worthily fulfill the high vocation of edu cated men. But, it is also to be remem bered that each age brings its own peculiar duties and trials to its leaders. It is clear that every good man is to be called to take his stand for purity in political manage ment. Public indignation at political im purity has been, to a promising degree, awakened throughout the country. Tho hope of purifying and elevating American political methods lies iu the younger men rather than in the older ones. "Again, you are appearing on the stage of action, when grave so cial problems are agitating the world as perhaps they have not agitated it sinco the breaking of the feudal sys tem. The sharpest conflicts just before you are thoe involving the relations of capital and labor. It may require courage for men holding the positions which you will be called to fill, not to become sub servient either to those conservative men of wealth who resist all change in our in dustrial arrangements, or to plausible theorists who, perceiving clearly the disa bilities and grievances of some of the laboring classes under our present indus trial system, are depicting them with burning words which stir our sympathies, yet commend to us only de-perate remedies which threaten the very framework of soci ety. Closely allied to the transition which we are passing through in our own in dustrial life is the transition through which our own government, as well as other governments, is passing, from nar row to wide function. What may be called the socialistic tendency, usiug the word socialistic in a philosophical sense, has been, and still is, rapidly gaining ground iu legislative and civil administra tion. In acting on these great care and even great courage may be required. How far shall this drift be allowed to go? How far shall the iddividual be re strained in his industrial and commercial enterprise by tho state? Opportunities wiil bo afforded in abundance to many of you to show whether you are demagogues, watching only for winds of popular tavor which shall waft you into office, or men daring to stand by your judgment concern ing the true functions of municipal, state and national governments. "Earnest and strenuous views of tho significance aud opportunities and repon sihilities of life are not unwelcomo to you. The contest attracts you rather than repulses you. Possibly the peril of some of you springs from undue confidence and untried courage. But I would not utter one sjilable to "abate that confidence or shatter that courage. Press bravely forward. Cherish your noblest and most heroic purpose. If God sends yon to.tho thickest of the fight for right eousness and truth, remember that He does it because He would bring your char acter to its higtiost development, and lo calise the victory of righteousness and truth in the supreme end Ho has in view."

Last night the state's attorney caused summonses to be issued for several aldermen to appear be fore the grand jury this morning to tell what they know about boodling in the city council in the granting of franchises. It is claimed -that boodle was freely used in the citv council a year and a half iico to secure the passage of the West Luke street elevated road ordinance for which M. C. McDonald, the wealthy ex-gambler, stood sponsor. Before the grand jury today, the testimony was pre sented, it is alleged, to the effect that ex Aldermen Charles Moncar and Simon Wallner were each promised $3,000 to vote for the ordrnanco and were each paid $1,300 after their votes were recorded. It is through a man named Peter Gabet that the charges of bribery "were expected to he proven. Cabet is a gambler and it is said he bears an unsavory reputation. His story is to the effect that ?50.0u0 was divided among certain metnber for the purpose of securing their votes in favor of the elevated road franchise. SHOT BY A LIQUOR SPOTTER. Des Moines, Li., June 24. Toony Cham bers, keeper of a restaurant, was shot and fatally injured lfot evoning by-Frank Pierce, a "searcher" Pierce had been through the restaurant a short time before in search of liquor but found none.

Pierce failed to show a warrant, but tried to force his way up stairs which Chamlxsrs sought to prevent. Thereupon Pierce drew a revolver and fired, the bullet going through Chambers' body. OOLLTEE'S PEAE8. A Sensational Story by a "Well Known Chicagoan- Chicago, 111., June 24. Frank Collier, the well known Chicago lawyer, who, as a special delegate of the various British American societies, journeyed to England and presented to Queen Victoria the felici tations of her former Chicago subjects on her jubilee, told a strange story tonight in narrating his recent experiences. Mr. Collier was today released from the state insane asylum, where he de clares there -was a conspiracy to keep him. The Telease was after an extended examination in oourt, which was conducted with decided skill by Mr. Collier in person and in which dozens of prom inent people, lawyers, physicians, school teachers, judges and others testified that in their opinion he was not insane. Mr. Collier stated that for a time he had been demented, but that he had long since re covered. After his formal release, Mr. Collier, in conversation, went into the re markable details of his case. He began, he said, to be irresponsible on the 5th of August, 1SS0. "I remember that on the day," he con tinued, "I tried to remember where I was on the night of the Cronin murder. A fear seized me that I would be charged with the crime. I was known to be an anti-Irish man. I had relations with British societies and with the British gov ernment that if they were brought out in court would have been very dangerous." Mr. Collier related at length how such thoughts haunted liim and now in desper ation he went out one night and fol lowed over the whole track taken by the Cronin assassins, and on the spot iu Lincoln park described so minutely by the suspect, Woodruff, attempted suicide. The revolver failed to discharge, and Mr. Col lier, according to his Own story, thereupon threw the weapon into the Jake at that point. Mr. Collier declares that as a mat ter of fact he knew nothing of the Cronin case and that he now fully, recognizes the insane character of a fear that be would be tried for the crime. BASE BALL'.

Preserred Rjivt Pineapple. Pineapple is a fruit that is apt to grow hard in cooking, and Is therefore not al ways a successful preserve. Housekeepers will be interested in a method given by Miss Parloa in Good Housekeeping for making a rich and delicious preserve of raw pineapple: Pare the pineapple and take out all the eyes. Now, with a very sharp knife, cut the pineapple in thin slices, cutting down the sides until the heart is reached. This is to be discarded. Weigh the sliced pineapple- and put it in a large earthen dish. Add to it as many pounds of granulated sugar as there are pounds of pineapple and stir well. Pack this mixture in Mason pint or quart jars; put on the covers and tighten them, then put away in the preserve closet. The pine apple will keep for a year or mora and be perfectly tender and fine flavored. French Paper lamp Shades.

Among tho domestic remedies which are the most popular are applications of warm inilk, tea, sassafras, pith water, etc. Borax and camphor water, an agree able and efficient remedy, has long been used by physicians. An eyo wash, very nearly, if not quite, as serviceable, can b made by adding one drachm of tho crystals of boracic acid to a pint of soft, boiled water. This shouKl be boileu and kept in a cool place. Three or four times a day hall a cupful of the solution should be heated, and tho eyes bathed with it as hot as can be borne. Apropos of this, people will do well to re member the fact that some kinds of sore eyes are highly cooAa&ious. And the in fectious poisons, pot being easily killed, are often transmitted from one person, to an other on towels, ash basTns, etc, used in common. Probably all know that skin diseases are often conveyed in that way, but few, however, can knbw that the same is true with diseases of thceyes, which are much more to be -feared. Toronto Globe.

It is not all reformed drunkards who are as fortunate as jBlurphy. It is announced that the editors of Jiuasia are about to celebrate tho twenty-fifth anniversary of press independ ence. This is like celebrating Washing ton's birthday tho object of the anni versarv is not livincr. Tho senate, of course, is in favor of f ilver. Wednesday they raised the sala ries of their clerks from SI. 500 to 1,800 per annum. Quite a number of sena torial clerkship are filled by the wives, daughters, sons or other near relatives of iheir employers.

Whatever doubt there may ave been lingering in the minds of skeptics, of the final outcome of the Brazilian revolu tion and the setting up of a republic in tae room of the empire, such doubt may now be dismissed. And whatever the intentions of the leaders when Bom Pedro was deposed and exiled, as to the fi Tin of government that should be set up, that question has now been definitely settled by the people of that country, i ho pronounce unequivocally and en thusiastically hi faVor of a republic.

Advices from many portions of the west and northwest are to the effect that on many lines the supply of cars is not sufficient to take care of the traffic offer ing. A good deal of this business is last year's grain, which has been held back until the present time, but a very con siderable portion of it is also merchan dise. There is said to be enough busi ness in sight to keep the roads busy to their full capacity until the movement of this year's crops begins. This situation as to business in the sec tions named indicates that a sufficient volume of currency to meet the full de mands of trade in all its branches is all that is necessary to bring about a condi tion of business activity and general prosperity not surpassed by the thriftiest period in the country's history. Hurry through the Plumb bill, gentleman of the house of representatives, just as you re ceived it from the senate. TO THE CENSUS ENUMEEATOES OF THE 4th DISTEICT OF KANSAS Office of Supervisor of Census i for the Fourth District of 1 Kansas, Wellington, Kan., f June 23d. 1890. J Gentlemen: I want to impress upon you the necessity of thorough and com plete work in your districts. All except enumerators in Wichita city liave until June 30th to accomplish their work, which will be ample time to finish. You should not make your returns until your work is completed according to law. Your instructions are: Let no one es cape. Compare your work carefully with summary of enumerator's daily work report. See that all blanks are properly filled out, dated and signed, and return to me by register as directed. Very respectfully, T. A. Hubbard, Supervisor of Census 4th district. They say the cholera is coming. Timid people had better wait till it gets here, before they think much about it. From tho present volume of expendi tures of the government and the large increase provided for by the present con gress it is clear that ways and means will have to be devised for largely in creasing the government's revenues. The absolute necessity for unlimited free coinage and the release of funds held as reserves becomes more imperative every day. The increase in population east and west, relatively, is very cleary and no doubt accux-ately shown by the figures given for two of the representative cities Chicago and Baltimore. Chicago is credited with an increase of 100 per cent in population, while Baltimore is given about 33 per cent. These are no doubt fair examples of the general situation in this respect in the two sections. It is probable that some of the southern cities will show increases pretty nearly equal with western. All the world over the students are raising Cain. In Russia they have for some time been noticeable, and now it seems that they are causing their influ ence to be felt in Japan. They would seem to be illustrating tho truth of the charge, that "a little knowledge is a dan gerous thing." The incident that oc curred at our own leloved Harvard a short time ago indicates that the Ameri can student is not many removes from the condition of impulse that seems to to actuate his Euroiean and oriental con frere. The ruction that has sprung up between Powderly and Gompers, the heads re spectively of the Knights of Labor and Federation of Labor, would seem to have already assumed an irreconcilable degree of intensity. However, it may bo only a seance arranged between them for the purpose of putting a little animation into the two orders pending the approaching meetings of the general assembly of each. Since the Alliance litis become so ag gressive and prominent the labor organi zations of tho country have been given a back seat, so to speak. Gen. J. R, Hawley expressed the cor rect sentiment in the senate Monday, in discussing the pension bill then under consideration when he declared that "The union soldier would be very sorry and ashamed to be called upon to say how much the nation owed him in arrears. The prominent feature in his state was that the needy soldier should not suffer, but that nothing should be wasted on a man who did not need a pension for his support. The true soldier of the repub lic did not want to have money wasted. They wanted to have their suffering comrades aided, and they want the glory of having fought for their country with out respect to money considerations.' Tho Lamed Eagle-Optic (Dem.) un exuivocally claims the silver bill that passed the senate last week as a Demo cratic measure; that it originated in a Democratic mind and was passed by Democratic votes. As to the last propo sition it must be admitted and we re gret it is fo that but for the Demo cratic votes it would not have passed? but it is also true that the Democrats could not have passed the bill without Republican assistance. But the amus ing part of the claim is that it is a Demo cratic measure, originated by that party or any member of it. This, as a joke, will no doubt be enjoyed by Senator Plumb, through whose creative genius and ceaseless effort the bill was trans formed into decent shape and passed by the senate. The editor of our Lamed namesake will never die of inanition, the result of his extreme modesty. It is tho prerogative not only, but the duty of ministers of the gospel to con demn sin and all manner of unrighteous ness in season and out of season, but it strikes us that they go beyond the bounds of reason, as they certainly do of Christ ian obligation and propriety, when they publicly counsel mob violence against persons who, although violating the sense of morality entertained by such coun sellors and good people generally, are yet not guilty of violating any valid written law, as was done by a minister at Ottawa a day or two ago. The rever end gentleman evidently forgot the Divine injunction of "Be not overcome with evil, but overcome evil with good." Who, we would ask, simply by-the-way, is guilty of the greater offense, the vender or purchaser of an inhibited arti cle? Not h word of condemnation do we hear of the latter. MR. HOENEE ON GEUMBLE COENEE. From the New York Independent. I knew a man and hi? name was Horner, Who used to live on Grnmble corner; Grumble corner In Cross Patch Town, And he was never seen without a frown. He grumbled at this; he grumbled at that; He growled at the dog: ho growled at the cat; He grumbled at morning, he grumbled at night; And to grumble and growl were his chief delight. He grumbled so much at his wife that sho Began to grumble as well as he; And all the children wherever they went. Reflected their parents' discontent. If the sky was dark and betokened rain. Then 3Ir. Homer was sure to complain; And if there was never a cloud about. He'd grumble because of a threatened drought. His meals were never to suit bts taste; He grumbled at having to eat in haste; The bread was poor or the meat was tough. Or else he hadn't had half enough. No matter how hard his wife might try To please her husband, with scornful eye He'd look around, and then, "with a scowl At something or other begin to growl. One day as I loitered along the street, ily old acquaintance I chanced to meet, W hose face was without the look of care And the ugly frown Uiat it ued to wear. "I may bo mistaken, perhaps." I said, As, after saluting, 1 turned ray head; But it is. and It isn't, the iir. Horner Who lived for so long on Grumble corner!" I met him next day, and I met him again. In melting weather, in pouring rain. When stocks were up and when stocks were down; But a smile somehow had replaced tho frown. It nuzzled me much; and so one day I seized his liand in a f rlendl v way. And said: JIr. Homer, I'd like to know What can have happened to change you so?" He laughed a laugh that was good to hear. For it told of n conscience calm and clear. And ho wild, with none of the old-time drawl: "Why. I've changed my residence, tliat Is all!" "Changed your residence?" "Yes." said Horner, "It wasn't healthy on Grumble corner. And so I moved; 'twas a change complete. And you'll lind me now on Thanksgiving street!" Now, every day. as I move along The Ptreet so filled with the busy throng. I watch each face and can always tell Where men and women and children dwell; And many a discontented monrner Is spending his days on Grumble corner, Sourand sad, whom I long to entreat To take a house on Thanksgiving street. The country seems to be in the midst of another epidemic of railroad disasters. Scarcely a day passes but reports of from one to three accidents are given with greater or less fatality. It does Beem that science reinforced by experince, or vice versa, might put an estoppel to the havoc of life and property, but it doesn't. Kate Field is disgusted with the pro hibitionists. She, like a sensible woman, tallcs straight to the point. She de fends the two foremost officials of the land in this manner: "If the reformed Presbj-terians who, in synod assembled, lately censured Presi dent Harrison and Vice-President Morton for using wine at their tables, and praised Mr. Wannmaker for not using it, would take a leaf out of Mr. Wanamaker's book and let people drink what they please, they would come nearer the example of the master they profess to serve. Reform, like charity, begins at home, and it would be well for these impertinent busybodies to reform themselves. What appals me in all this effable business is that these re formed reformers call themselves Chris tians, when Christ's first miracle turned water into wine, and His last supper actually consecrated wine as His blood! The position of prohibitionists is, from a Christian point of view, downright blas phemy; and these are the people who pre sume to revise the morals of the president and vice-president of the United States." THE PEESENT ENGLISH MENT. PAELIA- The conservative ministry is stumbling along in England with a majority which has steadily shrunk ever since they part ed with Lord Randolph Churchill and which lately, on an important measure, amounted to only thirty. The government now proposes to make their determination to alter the rules a question of confidence, and, if they are defeated, to dissolve parliament and ap peal to the country. The leader of the house of commons, Mr. Smith., is complerelv worn out, and will soon be sent up to the house of lords to rest, and, ujxm his retirement, Goschen and Balfour will contend for the vacant position. Balfour has been the real leader of the conservative party ever since Chur chill resigned, and although, under his leadership, their 'magnificent major ity has dwindled perceptibly, yet he can maintain that his party still retains a majority. He has filled a position which is gen erally considered to be the hardest post in the British government, viz: the posi tion of Irish secretary. All the reports which six mouths ago were freely circulated with regard to the approaching dissolution have been proved to have been idle rumors and it now seems quite likely, that having existed for half of the utmost length of time during which a parliament can live, that there will not be any dissolution of par liament for the remainder of the term of three years and a half. If it does last the full seven years the present parliament will be the first one that has enjoyed such a lease of power for quite a period in the history of Great Britain. KANSAS CEOPS ALL DOING WELL. Sergeant T. B. Jennings, of the signal service U. S. A., and assistant director of the Kansas weather service bureau, has issued the following crop bulletin for the week ending June 20: There has been an abundance of rain in all districts except the extreme south west, where heavy rains fell the preced ing week. An excess in the northern counties, a deficiency in the Kaw valley, an excess south of tho Kaw, and in the middle division, culminating in King man, Sedgwick and Harvey, where it amounts to five inches above the normal for the week. Normal for the eastern part of Ford and in Clark, it falls below the average to the west. The excess in Osborne and Rooks extends southwest ward through Lane. Hail in localities on the 16th, 17th and 19th. With an average amount of sunshine the temperature has ranged above the normal for the week. The sunshiny days, the warm nights, the abundant dews and the frequent and copious showers have conspired to render this an ideal week for the agriculturist. Corn is growing quite rapidly in all parts of the state. Oat straw has length ened considerably, oats have improved, and promise a good crop, and in the cen tral counties, especially Coffey, will be a very good crop. The "binder has entered the wheat fields in all parts of the state and the "harvest is now on, the straw is gener ally short but the berry is unusually good. Flax promises well and it is now in bloom in the northern counties. Black berries are ripening in the south, while the early varieties are in the market. Sorghum cane and Kaffir corn are in a flourishing condition, generally. In the southeast, millet is not a promising crop. Enlarged Views for a City. GaUTs New York Letter. Nothing can injure a city which will extern! its view. In the ardor of first thoughts to call every thing a corpora tion, and then interpret it to be a mon ster, we are continually distroying or re-1 tarding the power of our large cities. Even Washington, which is a mushroom of the government, is undertaking a mu nicipal power over the systems of inter course whick have been so long neglected here, and the multiplication of which would adrftnee this city upon her destiny to be 100 milHoas of people. SDNFLOWEB Judge Botkin's head must he painfully clear by this time. The Coldwater Echo thinks that an idle farmer is about as rare as a day in June. Yesterday was St. John the Baptist day. Harrison Kelley will have to divide the honors. If Plumb should cet to be president Em poria would be located in theDistrict of Columbia. President Clover, of the Alliance, has been charged with designs on a seat in the United States senate. But that doesn't worry Ingalls any. Congressman Morrill says he is disgusted and positively will not accept agnomina tion. All in all, Morrill seems b have the drop on the First district. It seems that the only way .Price, the world's fair commissioner, will ever con ciliate the Salina Republican, will be to visit that town and kiss the Brady baby. Tom Ryan is sick at the Mexican capital. The idea that it is wrong for a Kansan to accept anything at the hands of the present administration has its advocates in this state. Dick Blue do you know the- Honorable Richard W. Blue? Well, he has gone to Oklahoma to live. He wasn't as lucky as Hackney, though. He didn't get as near the throne. The politics of the Farmers' Alliance is a mooted question somewhat From close scrutiny it is very clear that the Dolitics of the Farmers' Alliance is the Farmers' Alliance. The title of a sermon preached by a To peka minister Sunday was "A Voice From Hell."' It is doubtful if Topeka, will ever grant any clemency to the soul of the de parted Oliphant. Church Howe, the new editor of the Atchison Champion, is said to have been the homeliest man in Missouri. His re cent arrival is likely to bring Milt Reynolds back to the state Two Cowley county fanners are out for the state printership. What Jake Stoler and Cliff Baker want to do now is put in a tenacrelotof corn and run for the presi dency of the Farmers' Alliance. A man in Council Grove is getting out a pamphlet to prove that the world will come to an end this year. This is prob ably the outcome of one man catching two eels in the Neosho on the same day. Tom Norton, of the Newton Republican says Mrs. Logan is the finest looking woman in the united States. Mr. Norton is an old bachelor and Mrs. Logan is a widow. There shouldn't be anything in the way. The prohibition editor of the Leaven worth Times must be off on a vacation. That paper recently figured tliat there are six glases of beer in a bottle. But then, may be the prohibition editor of the Times don't know a bottle from a curboy when he sees it. Superintendent of Census Porter has suggested to Senator Plumb that the man ufacturing statistics be taken of thirty principal Kansas towns. This will be done by grouping these cities into four divis ions, each of which will be under a chief appointed from the state. The senator is favorable to the plan. He does not antici pate any difficulty in securing candidates for the four new offices incidental to the work. Among the other Kansas exhibits tabe taken to the Boston national encampment in August, the committee litis decided upon half a mile of photographs. The views will include educational', industrial and country buildings, churches, business blocks, bridges, picturesque scenery, etc They will be mounted on heavy card board of uniform size, seven by nine inches, and the collection will be completed by July lfi. The committee desires that all who wish to contribute snch photographs will send them to the secretary by that date. Last Sunday Superintendent Meserve, of the Haskell institute called the students into the chapol and told them that he had received a letter from Mr. Morgan, com missioner of Indian affairs, regarding the petitions recently sent to him by Indian pupils asking the removal of the superin tendent. He said that the commissioner stated that if any more such petitions were circulated the students would be punished and the ringleaders expelled. Mr. Meserve declined to show the letter to newspaper correspondents and Massachu setts' scalps have fallen fifty cents in tho top-knot quotations. RECREATION. When and Where to Find and Enjoy It. To the Editor of the Eagle. At this season all are looking forward to at least a brief cessation from business and home cares, and while many cannot afford the luxuries and expense of the fashionable resort, an occasional picnic in some pleasant grove close by brings happiness to many a weary- soul, and finds a responsive chord in the hearts of the little ones, whose merry prattle and laughter is a recompense for those who direct the innocent and refreshing amuse ments. For those who can only take a ten days jaunt, some health giving retreat within easy distance is sought, and such a place the writer visited a few days ago. While many have heard of the health giving qualities of Geuda Springs few have a comprehensive idea of the wonderful restorative powers of the various waters to be found at this resort. People have been carried thereupon cots, and in a few weeks walked away with the sprightliness of youth, while others with no particular ailment found a few baths in the mineral water health ful and invigorating. The cool and pure atmosphere, with a delightful country surrounding brings the bloom of health to the pleased and happy visitor. The springs are seven in number, each pos sessing properties for some particular disease. The large bath house recently completed at an expense of some $20.- 000, is the finest in the west, excelling many at Hot Springs. Ark. This is pre sided over by Dr. Pettit, formerly of this city. The Gilbert house is the pop ular hostelry and our friend Gilbert, known to many Wichita people, studies the comfort of his guests and adds no little to their enjoyment, while his ac complished daughter proves a most charming assistant in the honors of mine host. The Like, some six hundred feet from the hotel, affords fine fishing, and scores of dif ferent species of the tinny tribe are landed upon terra firrna at the hands of charming young ladies who, as the day is breaking, may be seen sitting upon the rocky shores of "this beautiful sheet of water drinking in the fresh morning air and enjoving intensely the excite ment of Landing a huge bass or the more conmlacent cat fish. If you want to take a week or two off by all means visit 1 Gueda Springs. A great feature of your visit will be your trip, traversing a1? yon will the fmest agricultural country on the American continent, which at this time Dresents a richness of varied crops calculated to astound the eastern visitor, who, ever boastful of the resources of his own country, could never bring liis mind to realize how insigmricant are wheat and corn fields of ten acres, locat ed perchance upon come mountain slope. while here for the first time corn fields of J one hundred acres or more and wheat fields as large alternately meet his rapid ly passing -view. Accustomed as I was to such scenes, I could not but think how each year adds to the sublime pic ture of this veritable golden era of the farmers' happy harvest time. Hark to the music of steel clashing steel, Acres of golden grain bend to the reel; Riches untold are garnered this year, Vieing with gold, a treasure most dear; Every hope of the farmer is richly fulfilled, Such lands our eastern friends never saw tilled. Thrice happy tho dwellers in Kansas. MAC. BE LOYAL TO KANSAS- From the Kansas City Gazette. The following from the Leavenworth Times is what we wanted to say, but in the exuberance of our party zeal we couldn't find the heart to do it. The Times heads its dispatches from Wash ington "Loyal to Reed," which suggests to us the conundrum, in view of the im- )ortace of the issue and the manifest ocal character of it, "Who in thunder is Reedr We notice that Townsend of Colorado, was loyal to Colorado, and Carter of Montana, was loyal to that state, while Senator Wolcott of Colorado, was in favor of hurling from power an administration tliat did not suit his state on this local business issue. Kansas had two men Funston and Kelley who were loyal to Kansas, the other five seemed "to be loyal to Reed, which in this case was but pretty monkeying about tho construction of certain parlia mentary rules the result of which is to put tho silver bill in a. position -where it can be handled by its enemies. We agree with the Times that it is time to be loyal to Kansas on .economical ques tions. Our contemporary say: The Kansas City Gazette concludes that the fight in congress is to decide which party shall have the credit of passing the silver bill. We may be mis taken, but to us it looks like a" straight fight between the silver and gold men, with some who claim to be silver Repub licans controlled by the caucus to help the gold men. The silver men are fight ing to bring the senate bill immediately before the house. The gold men want it referred to a committee. Why do they want it referred? If it is their intention to pass the bill, why do they not take the shortest cut and pass it? There need be no question about who shall have the credit of passing the bill. Let the Re publicans go right in with the Demo crats and adopt the senate amendment and they will have due credit. The peo ple of the country, and of the west especially, v ant free silver coinage, and they want it bad. They have iittle patience with tliis parliamentary monkey work. This is a business and nbt a polit ical question. If tho bill is passed the persons voting for it will get duo credit for their votes. But if, in this squabble, the passage of tho bill should bo defeated there is no question about who will be held responsible. The Republicans in congress can not afford to continue this tomfoolery. The members from Kansas can not afford to longer obey the dictates of the caucus on this question. They want to scramble right over into the sil ver camp and stay there. It is a little hard to consort with Democrats, but on such questions as this no politics should be known. WILL FIGHT THE PROPOSED REDUC TIONS IN GRAIN RATES. From the K. C. Star. The report of the interstate commerce commission to tho United States senate on the result of its investigation into western freight rates has aroused the western railroad men. The report finds that the present mini mum rates on corn and oats of 20 cents, Missouri river to 31 ssissippi river, are excessive and should be 17 and 12 cents respectively. It finds, further that corn and oats from Kansas and Nebraska oints to the river should be 7 cents ower, and finally that the rates of 1G cents on grain and 51 cents on flour and meal from Kansas to Texas aro grossly excessive for the longest distance of POO niiles, and aro likewiso discriminating, in that the same rales are charged for distances of 250 miles. Chairman Walk er, of tho Interstate Commerce Railway association, declares the enforcement of the proposed rates will be disastrous. The roads themselves hard"' know what to do. Such prominent men as General Managers Chappell, of tho Alton, and St. John, of the Rock Island, seo only a loss in such rates, even with such a crop as that of the last year. The strongest possible arguments will be presonted to tho commission at Washington, beginning July 8, to induce it to forego the making of the reductions. "THE BACKACHE CURE." From tho New York Star. The "physical culturists" what else sliall one call them? have devised what they call the ''backache cure" for those women who always pay that penalty for a half day of shopping, or of entertain ing, or for the long walk that seemed so exhilarating in the taking. The thing a woman usually does when her back aches is to go and lie down fiat on the aching back. This, say the physical cul turists, is exactly the wronc" thing to do. The proper caper it is somewhat of a caper as you shall see is .to rest on the elbows and knees, with the elbows stretched clear forward, so that the shoulders may touch the support upon which the person rests. Still another "rest," recommended for the same pur pose by these wise persons, is that ob tained by lying on such on incline as i3 offered bv the head of a lounge, with the head at the lower part of the slope and the feet at the upper if the slope be long enouglu One woman who has made a trial of the new resting idea is loud in its praise, and if a woman does not mind beinc a little absurd and ex tremely awkward in her own eyes for a few minutes each day. surely there is no reason why she should not have all the comfort and diversion she can find in it.

Privileges Granted to Those Who Are Well Behaved Luxuries That Are Pur chasable Keirards of Merit Unwilling ness to leave When Declared Free. It rests with the public prosecutor and not with the judge to determine in what prison a delinquent sentenced by the courts shall bo confined. Prisoners condemned for crimes of comparatively minor importance may obtain permission to pass the time of their sentence in tho Grand Roquette priion on condition of paying twelve cents a day, or a little over $43 a year, to tho state. Bat owing to the lim ited number of trades pursued in tho estab lishment few of the prisoners there aro set to the trade they have been brought up to, s that they are generally obliged to learn anew one. Nor is there always work sufficient for all the inmates, as tliat depends upon the de mand in tho iaarkecs; owing to this circum stance, there are often upward of 2.10 men without work, who lounge in tho yard, or crowd in winter to the chauffoir, a large Seated room on tho ground floor. A prisoner of the lower classes, having no respectablo connections, will seldom get the option of serving his time in solitary confinement, and thereby earning a remittance, as the cells aro scarcely ever vacant; and he is removed else where. RULES OF THE. PBISO.V. It is a strange tight to see the men shuffle and shamble with siouchlng gait round the exercise yard. One has only to look at them to be persuaded that? the system of promiscu ous repression is not calculated to deter men from crime, and that there is some virtue in solitary confinement from tho first. Four hundred men come out at a time. Speakiug is strictly prohibited, but it would seem as though nothing could prevent this rule from beiug'infringed. As the prisoners walk round and round there is a buzzing murmuring sound, like tho humming of a top, arising from tho whispering exchanged, in defiance of the warders, who walk round in an opposite direction to that taken by their charges. Close to the chapel are two stalls or booths, one of wJaich cominunicutes with the kitchen, under the management of a prisoner who holds the post of cantinier or sntlor, while the other is used by ainarcband do coco, who sells cocoa or licorice juico to his customers, oach of whom, on payment of the sum stipulated in the tariff, can also purchase a demisetier or tho fifth of a liter of wine. The prisoner is not permitted to buy more than that quan tity, as drunkenness makes tho men danger ous. The things to be bought at the prison can teen, besides wine, are cafe au lait, chocolate, butter, cheee, ham. sausages, eggs, salad, fruit, tinned moat, biscuits, stationery, to bacco and snuff. The Cafe Riche and tho Palais Royal, as these two booths are called, play an impor tant part in the life of tho inmates. Prison ers are allowed to smoko in Parisian jails, and a very sensible provision this is, for it prevents that; illicit traffic iu tobacco whioh brings so many prisoners and warders to trouble in foreign prisons, and it also sup plies a ready means of punishing a refractory jailbird. Order cannot bo kept in n prison without corporal punishment. As a rule the prisoners behave exceedingly well, because they know that they can greatly alleviato the hardships of their position by so doing. For a first offense a man's tobacco and wine will bo cut Oil for a week, for a second he may bo forbidden to purchase anything at tho canteen for a month; if ho persevere in his folly he will bo prohibited trom working that is, from earning money, and will be locked up in a coll, to endure tho misery of utter solitude and idleness. THE DARK PADDED CELL. If this severe measure fails and tho man be comes obi,treix?rou, ho will bo strait waist coated aud put into a dark padded cell, where he may scream and kick at the wall to his heart s content. To these rational methods of coercion tho most stubborn natures generally yield. It mu?t bo confos-ed, however, that thero arc certain desperate characters who delight in giving trouble, and who, untamed by repeated punishments, will often commit murderous assaults upon the warders. But in most instauces, as I -ay, tho lignter moans of restraint aro Miirlcienc to bring the prison ers to their senses. They cannot endure the iuca of being debarred Trom presenting them selves at tho canteen, or from paying a visit to the vendor of liconco juice, and the incen tive thus provided for industry and good be havior has a salutary effect even upon the most hardened among the criminals. Now aud thon some revolt broaks out in tho lock smith's shop, where the prisoners have sharp tools confided to them; and there is more than oue instance where a prisoner lias attempted tho life of a wnrder, in order that n sentence of five or ten 3-anrs may bo increased into ona of transportation for lifo to New Caledonia, tho land of promise for the criminal anxious to break away from old associations. The cells, capable of holding over six hun dred prisoners, are above tho workshops and occupy threo whole floors. Each compart ment has its bed, with a paillasse, a good mattress, sbooto changed once a w eek and a blanket such as many an honest workiugman would bo glad to get, and far better than tbn shakedown of tho Limousin and the Auver gnat who havo come to Paris to seek a fort une. Tho door of oach cell contains a spy hole through which the warden on duty can ;oo what his charge is doing at certain inter vals of tho day and night. Peparato and narrow colls ore provided for those whosa demeanor and general conduct give rise to the impression that tbey aro meditatiug sui cide. The criminals at La Grande Roquette have no complaints to make. They arc treated with fraternal solicitude, and legend says that thoso who have grown old in houses of detention and have mode tho round of every prison in Franco havo shown the greatest unwillingness to leave this ?r,ee when the law has declared them free. There are several old men about tho place without family ties who, forgetting tho world and forgotten by it, havo managed to obtain some kind of em ployment, so as not to be compelled to leave the prison, and to warrant their being fed and lodged at the expends of tho country. The rwtao -af one of them is mentioned as a terror to any who might bo tempted to be tray tho secrets of the prison e. certain lib erated criminal who had some small duties assigned him, so that he might not be thrown on the streets with his gray hairs and in f?rmity. He made a good living by giving items of information to journalists when any special criminal occupied the condemned cell, lie anuouueed fco appeorauce of the mounted municipal guard, who is always deputed to bring from tho ministry of justice and the 1 ubiic ircocutor that sealed notice which leads to tho guillotine being put up on the Plac do La Uoquotte.

Tashicg- tonStaj-. WASHINGTON GOSSIP, PENSION AGENTS AND THE -MONEV THEY MAKE. The Itequosta for Free Services Keceived by Congressmen and Otbers A Young Man's Slatrimonial Scheme A. E. Bateman and Eis Rise. LSpeci&l Correspondence. "Washington, June fz. Ex-Pension Commissioner Tanner is" making 540,000 or $50,000 a year as a pension attorney. For many years Mr. Tanner has been poor. He has expended most of bis energies in mak ing Grand Army and political addresses, honing some day to get a good office as his reward. Tho reward came a year and a half ago, but it was an apple that turned to ashes on his lips. Xow Tanner regrets that he did not abandon politics many years ago and go into the pension business. "If I had dono so," ho says, "I -woul&now bo a millionaire." Large fortunes have been made in the pension business at Wash ington, and mado legitimately, too. At torneys' fees are fixed by law, and the vet erans are rarely or never imposed on by their agents. The richest pension attorney in "Wash ington is George E. Lemon, who also prints a soldiers' paper. Lemon is rated at 2,000, 000. He is a bachelor, and I am told his personal expenses the necessaries and lux uries of life cost him from 23,000 to 30, 000 a year. He is noted, among other things, for possessing, the most luxurious bachelor quarters in Washington. Lem on's rise to wealth is an example of what may be done by improving the opportuni ties which chance throws in one's way. Lemon was a country boy from New York state who wont into the war and rose to bo a captain in the field. On his way home at the close of the war ho stopped a few days in "Washington to attend to some matters for his comrades, such as their dis charge papers and undrawn pay. The red tape of the war department kept him hero two or three weeks, and tSorlongcr he re mained the more business he had on hand, for as soon as soldiers heard he was.here attending to such matters thoy placed their cases in his charge and offered to pay him for his services. This broughMxi Lemon's notice the fact that there would bean enor mous pension, pay and claim business growing out of the war, and he settled right down here and went into that busi ness with much energy. While Lemon has had the greatest suc cess in this line there are scores of riok men in town who made thedr money in the same way. Col. Dcdky, formerly pension commissioner, is making $30,000 a year as a pension, agent and as much more as a lawyer and claim attorney. Col. Dudley draws salaries from several largo corpora tions for looking after their interests at the national capital. Armour Co., of Chicago, pay him 5,000 a year and a rail road company pays $7,500. One of the rich pension agents here is Alexander Kennedy, now an elderly man. Kennedy was a soldier in the war with Mexico, and came out of that conflict as poor as a church mouse. Believing that the Mexican war veterans should havo pensions right away, and not knowing what else to do, he started an organization of soldiers for the purpose of bringing pressure to bear on congress. He was in correspondence with thousands of soldiers, as secretary of the organization, and came on to Washington to labor in their interest. When the pension law was finally passed the thought occurred to hint that the sol diers would like to have seme one here to look after their claims, so he sent outcir culars offering to put cases through tho pension office for 310 apiece, and in less than sixty days 10,000 letters, containing 100,000, came through the mails to Mr. Kennedy. At one leap, therefore, he roao from poverty to wealth. Pension agents make money, notwithstanding- the fact that every member of congress is a pension attorney. Our states men say a very large part of their labor Is in connection with getting pensions, or in creases of pensions, for their constituents. MoLt members of congress keep what they call a pension book, a little blank book ruled oil with columns for names of corre spondents, number of caes in pension ofSce, date of filing, status in the office and so on. In some of these books there are more than one thousand cases. Mem bers from the western states are particu larly burdened with this sort of work, and several of thorn keep a clerk bus' all the time running to the pension office and an swering letters. Some of these congressmen have pretty hard times to get along here iu Washing ton. I know one who with his family lives in very plain style. The eldest daughter is a clerk in the census office, and in addi tion to this she teaches music and elocu tion. At 4 o'clock her work is done in the census office and then she hurries home to meet her pupils. Another daughter is also a clerk in the census office and a son at tends to his father's correspondence. Tho income of the family is about ?10,0C0 a year, but thoy save precious little. Members of congress are not tho only residents of Washington who are burdened with requests to run errands for people in the country. Department officials, profes sional and business men who happen to be well known in soma parts of the country are being constantly appealed to for help in pension matters, in looking up claims, or in office getting. A newspaper friend of mine tells how he manages in such cases. His father is a prominent and popular citi zen of St. Louis. His friends and ac quaintances go to him and say: "1 believe you have a son iu Washington who is do ing pretty well, haven't you?" "Yes." "He knows all tho big people down there, and could help me immensely if he only would. Please give me a letter to him." Of course the letter is written, and the man either comes on to Washington in person or writes and tells what he would liko to have done, inclosing the letter of in troduction. But father and son have an understanding and a password. When the old gentleman's letters are signed simply "Yours," the son knows the men to whom the letters were given are real friends of tho writer, and that if possible their re quests aro to be granted; but letters signed "Your affectionate father" are thrown into the waj-te basket and the requests or persons accompanying them politely but persistently neglected. This reminds me of the story of a certain rising statesman, now a member of the house of representatives but hopeful of becominga senator at anearlyday. Hewas a poor department clerk here, but bid, through some friends, received an invita tion to -visis an old and wealthy family of Kentucky in which wa3 a marriageable and altogether attractive, daughter. Real izing his humble lot in life, and naturally desiring to make an impression on his hosts, n counseled with some of his friends before starting for Kentucky. The result was a coaspirccj, bold anil artful Half a dozen of tho young nan's cronies agreed to vrrito him two or three letters every day and to send hira occasional tele grams. They kept their -word, and letters and telegrams fairly poured in upon the guest of that- line old Kentucky family. The observing papa and mamma and the equally watchful daughter were im pressed by the importance of a young man who received so many Icttsja and tele grams, and wcra delighted to discover from the printed lines on the envelopes that the letters vrczo-from senators and representa tives, from the searoCsry o state,.the. sec retary or tnc treasury ana other -caDines officials, and some even-fr.om the president himself. Intiursts ofconfidonce tke yonng guest .read aloud jaxts of some, of these let tsrs, such as Teguesjs from the private eecrctary of rhe president that the guest quickly .return to Washington, as the chief magistrate desired to consult him on im portant matters, and word from members of tho cabinet that so and so had been ap pointed to such and such offices at his re quest. Some of these letters and telegrams were permitted to lie about in the young man's room, where servants could paw them over to their heart's content. One can easily imagine that tho young gentle man was made much of by the family. They took him to their hearts and gave him their fairest daughter in marriage, and this daughter is now one of the belles of Washington. Of course her husband has long since confessed to her his decep tion and been forgiven with the remark that she did not marry him for the letters he received. Speaking of the indiscriminate use of official stationery by Tom, Dick and Harry recalls to mind the career of A. E. Bate man, now one of the opulent and power ful magnates of Wall street. He was a clerk in the navy department some years ago and had some trouble with his supe riors which resulted in his discharge, de spite the influence of his relative and pa tron, Senator Sherman. Thus thrown upon his own resources Bateman looked about for something to do. ne had made two or three small but successful investments in stocks and he now began studying the market and inducing a few of his friends to go in with him in speculations. He and Rogers, private secretary to President Hayes, were great friends, and Bateman had a habit of going over to the White House and using the official stationery in Bending out his business letters. There must have been some charm in tho neatly embossed noteheads and envelopes, for Bateman's trade as a broker rapidly increased, and ere long he was able to open handsome offices of his own and to provide himself with his own stationery. Having made a little money in Washington he wont up to New York, where he managed to attract the attention of Phil Armour, the packer, who occasionally goes into Wall street for a splurge. Armour gave him big orders, and these brought him fame and fortune. It is said Bateman caught Armour's fancy by his epigram matic method of talking, but tho tradition of Washington is that Bateman made him self a millionaire by the use of executive mansion stationery. Senator Sherman, by the way, is himself one of the money makers of congress. Out in tho northern and northwestern parts of the city one may-see whole blocks of small 1 houses that were built by the senator for renting out. In this way I am told he makes his capital earn about 12 percent, annually, as small houses rent to much better advantage than large one3. The in vestment is pretty sure to be a good one in the end, for the value of real eotato is fcteadily advancing. Senator-Sherman was one of tho leaders in that real estate move ment which drew the seat of population and of fashion in this capital to the-north-western part of tho town. Hundreds of fortunes have been made outof the rise of values in the wake of that movement. Just now Senator Sherman is taking tho lead in another direction. Nearly every day at 3 o'clock ho leaves tlie senate and drives about Capitol nill, looking over property that is for sale, conferring with his agents and making purchases. Capitol Hill is really the most-desirable residence district in Washington. It is the region which Washington and the founders of the city designed for the center of fashion. The Capitol was built at one side of the hill, with its main front facing tho favored section. But perverse posterity concluded to build a modern city in tho other direction, in tho rear of the Capitol, and the government has just expended more than a million dollars trying to give the great Capitol a new front. Of courso Capitol Hill property has been neglected and has fallen in value till lote almost under the shadow of the domo are now worth an average of but 1.50 a square foot, while land two or three miles away to the northwest sells at 5 or 6 a foot. Senator Sherman evidently believes that the pendulum will swing back toward the plans of the fathers and cause enormous advances in values on the sightly, breezy hill, for he is investing heavily in lauds and houses. Visitors to tho city, particularly foreign ers, cannot understand why the Capitol of the United Statea is so meanly surrounded. One of the most boantif ul of sites for a large structure is occupied by the grandest build ing in the world. Only two modern and respectablo buildings are anywhere near, the.se .being tlie Ben Butler mansion and a nowrapartment house now vacant. All the other houses aro old or squalid. A streofc car barn occupies a conspicuous cornor op posite the Capitol grounds. On another corner aro a number of low drinking places. Avstoneyard adjoins the car sta bles. All about are vacant lots, refuse heaps and grazieg'grounds for goats. In any othercountry a great capitol like thi3 would be surrounded with magnificent buildings. The-car stables, tha stoneyard, the low dives, the goats and refuse heaps would be sweptiiway. I miss my guess if that verjT thing does Dot occur in a short time, and in myiopinion tho man who buys ground near the-Capitol and holds to it ten or fifteen yesrs will gratefully remember me in his will. Robert Graves. llo Kissed the l-fejjro Cook. It is hardly safe to fkiss a woman ia the dark unless you are absolutely sure of her identity. Because he "took chances" a Louisville young maarrocently nearly lost a fiancee. A few nights ago he called on tho young lady and entered the parlor. There was no light in the hall or in tho room. In a short time he heard his girl coming down the steps. He stepped out into the hU,andassho readied the bottom J of tha suurs he inclosed her in his arms and Imprinted a long, lingering kis upon her mby lips. Releasing her hestruck a match and lit the gas, then turning to snatch an other kiss he was horrified, to see bofore him the braci cook. He gave her a dollar not to say anything, but the-story was too good to keep and she told it. It passed from one person to another until it was known to all his friends, and his Hfe is anything but a happy one, particularly as the lady of his choice is wavering in her original intention of vxzrrjins him.

Do Heads Grow After Mid Age? 3Ir. Gladstone's Experience. Some statements have recently appeared in regard to an alleged steady increase in the size of Mr. Gladstone's head, which it is said is Tendered manifest by a progres sive enlargement in the size of the hat re quired to cover it. In regard to these The Lancet says the correspondence exhibits an extraordinary ignorance of well ascer tained facts; for if there is one thing which would be acknowledged by all anatomists and physiologists it is that the nervous system, like other parts of tho body, un dergoes atrophy with advancing age an atrophy that pervades every tissue, and is as apparent in the thinning of the vocal cords that alters the voice to "childish treble" as in tho shrunk shanks for which the "youthful hose, well saved, are a world too wide." No reason can be assigned why the brain should escape the general change that affects the digestive and the circulatory systems alike. Its attributes and faculties attain their highest excellence at or before mid age, and from that time forth exhibit only a steady decline. To compare Mr. Gladstone with Napoleon, respecting whom a similar story is related, is absurd. The head of Napoleon may have grown be tween 20 and 45, because his brain was greatly exercised during tho last ten years of the past century and the first ten of the present, but no calls have been made on Mr. Gladstone of late years at all compar able to the strain on the mental and bodily powers of the French emperor during that eventful period. The ossification of the sutures of the cranium practically prevents increase of the volume of the brain in ad vanced life; and even granting some slight increase, such increase would be compen sated for by the attenuation of the cranial bones, which is well known to occur in old age. A change in form there may be, but none in size. Typhus and Ground "Water. It is claimed that a connection exists be tween ground water and typhus, the dis ease increasing in force as the water goes down, and declining as the water rises. It is stated in Nature that, according to Pro fessor Bruckner, the last typhus epidemic in Hamburg was quite in discordance with tho variations of ground water. From 1838, it is stated, tho typhus mortality in Hamburg steadily fell from 19 to 2 or 3 per 1,000, but from 1SS5 it rose again to 9; and whereas before 1885 tho epidemic was a summer one, with its maximum in Au gust, it now became a winter one, with maximum in December. The curve of ground water continued to have the tame course as before. Professor Bruckner points out that this epidemic of 1S84-87 corresponded in time with certain harbor works being carried out at Hamburg, and ho attributes it to tho upturning of enor mous masses of earth, the abode of num berless bacteria, whose diffusion among the inhabitants was thus facilitated." 3Iorphino Mania. In referring in ono of her lectures to some reprehensible tendencies among fash ionable women Mrs. Jenness Miller is re ported assaying: "The increase of the mor phine mania may well fill us with shame for the folly and weakness of our sex, and should moderate Our boast about tho prog ress and enlightenment of the ago. Culture is of little value if it permits its votaries to fall victims to a degrading vice which reduces them to the level of the most ig norant crone that ever sought refuge from poverty and care in gin, and who in the destitution of creature comfort has plausi ble excuse for her infirmity. The medical men aro to some extent responsible for this pernicious practice by too indiscriminately prescribing morphine injections. A llemely for Black and Clue. To prevent the blood from settling under a bruise there is nothing to compare with the tincture or a strong infusion of capsi cum annnum mixed with an equal bulk of mucilage of gum arabic, and with the ad dition of a few drops of glycerin. This should be painted all over the surface with a camel's hair pencil and allowed to dry on, a second or third coating being applied as soon as the first is dry. If done as soon as the injury is inflicted this treatment will invariably prevent tho blackening of tho bruised tissue. The same remedy has no equal in rheumatic stiff neck, according to St. Louis Polyclinic SOCIAL ETIQUETTE. Tho Value of Repose of Expression. Frowning, Squinting-, Etc. Have you studied, repose of expression? If so you have learned one of the most im portant rules for preserving your good looks, says Dorothy Maddox. Bad prac tices which my French teacher calls "tics,"' such as lifting tho forehead, drawing down the mouth, frowning, squinting, and other face gestures are not only arch enemies to one's prettiness, but are utterly inconsist ent with good breeding. I frequently meet with women who, when they weep, seem to fed called upon to screw up their poor countenances in such a grotesque manner that one is moved to a feeling of amuse ment rather than one of sympathy. Then there are others who cannot indulge in a good hearty laugh withouc doing positive violence to all the laws that govern an at tractive expression. Mothers are largely to blame for this sort of thing. They seem to be perfectly indif ferent to the fact that their children eat with1 their mouths open, punctuate in fact everything they do and say by a series cf grimaces that would do credit to a chim panzee. This sort of a thing grows with thdr growth, and by tbe time they have reached their teens they have furrowed lines that grow deeper and deeper as the years creep on apace. Don't mistake sto lidity of expression for repose of manner. Now this is a habit as unfortunate to ac quire as the grimace. Investigate the matter and you will quickly discover that the pladd, fair faced woman who dubbed as young looking as her daughter has cultivated a serenity of disposition which is a better safeguard against the inroads of time than all the cosmetics in the world. Have you not often wondered, when meetinz with dear old Quaker Ladies, at the fresh com plexion and serenely fair feoe which age has failed to mark with wrinkle? Cer tainly these women have not been spartd the trials and inhalations o life. Teen, what is tbeir secret? Just ask one of them, and she will tdl you that she has been thoroughly disciplined In the art of con tzl ?2!,jynlv hr bod.v-'bt bar -tt2. Toil often Hear tne remart, What an ex pressive face! But that very play of expres sion will later on bring its owner to grief. A fatal network of lines is formed that not all the creams in Christendom will eradi cate. So, look out, my fair readers, that you do not follow the example of the old lady of Dickens' creation by indulging in "one vast, substantial smile," as the con sequences are bound to be moat disastrous. A. Lion Iaosc Oco night when old Dan Bice was exhib iting his drcus in an. Ohio town, it camtJ on to rain aboufe the time the performanco was over,, and hundreds of people stuck to the tent -for shdter. Dan didn't want to be mean, but the canvas-inust come down, so he sent three of tho men through tho crowd to whisper: "Don't get exdted and make a rush, but I must inform you that the Numidian lion has escaped from his cage. Please go out quietly." The people went out fast enough all but a few unbelievers. There was a farmer and his wife and five children, and he got them in a drdoin the ring and placed four or five pickles, three or four hard boiled eggs and a paper of salt in bis straw hat in the centre. One of the men came up and inquired: "What are you doing here, old man?" "V. aitin'," was-tbe reply. "Didn't you know the lion was loose? "Yaas, I heard 'em say so. Is it true?" "Of course it is." "Regular lion?" "Yea." "Regular Numidian lion?" MYes." "Healthy and fat?" "Yes." "Waal, that's what we'j-o waitin' fur.

Hotter Still. ne entered tlie Woodbridgo street Etatioa shortly after dinner yesterday, with a torn coat, his back-all dust and a red lump on his forehead, and when asked to state his case he began: "Last March I met an acquaintance on Grand Bjver street. It was raw and blus try, and he said it looked as if spring would never como. Says I to bim, says I: 'Pofasess your soul with patience. It is only a. question of time.' "I met him again m April. It was cold &nd rainy, and ho said ho doubted if we should ever have warm weather. Says I to him, says I: 'My friend, don't blaspheme. Natura knows what is for our best good.' "I mot him for tho third time in May, and ho jumped np anil down and sworo that it was to bo twelve months winter. Says I to him, says I: 'The impetuosity of some men works their ruin. Trust In Providence.' "And just now I met him out here. Ho had his coat and hat off and wa3 sitting on a box and panting like a dog. And I went up to him and says, says I: 'Are this hot 'nuffi for you, and didn't I tell you so?' "And the inconsistent, erratic, impetu ous chump arose and knocked me down, and I want him arrested." Detroit Free Press. A Bright lioj-. Charlie S is a very bright boy and never at a loss for an excuse. He is also something of a naturalist. Walking along with a yyung lay one day lie heard a tree toad suddenly begin its shrill chirp. "It will raii within twenty-four hours," he announced, oracularly. "That is a sure sign; never known to fail." His prediction was received in good faith; but after twenty-four hours of remarkably pleasant weather he was teken to tatqk about his prediction. "Oh, well," ho replied, instant ly, in an injured tone, "the old tree toad lied. I am not responsible for his morals." Another time, having been requested to perform some little service, he camo to re ceive hiB reward. His father offered him his choice between a silver dime and an old fashioned copper cent. "I havo always been taught to take the smallest piece," he re marked, gravely, pocketing tho dime. Harper's Bazar. ToUte. Saake Don't rise on my account. Racket. She Placed Him.
