And lawyers. and judge, and all that.
She stared with the smilingest stare
At the hoodlums surrounding her there;

She'd discount the sweet Mrs, FAR

Who'd panned out the bloom Of his mine

out OF every ten. When that time comes the
"men folks, as rule, give the domestic hearth a
"Wide BERTH" Oceans OF suds-the product OF
tOns OF soap-fairly food every part Of the house
never worked before. and what with the discom-
fort, the smell OF suds and dAmpneAs, and not
untrequently sickness, the product of colds and
overwork matters are generally disagTeeable.
The simple use OF Sapolia instead OF soap does
away with all this discomfort. It Iightens the

THE STATE REFORM SCHOOL.

The annual report Of the board OF
trustees of the Illinois state reform school
contains .oino very interesting statistics.
The institution was opened on the first
day Of June, 1871, and during the first
year its doors werc opened to one hun.
dred and eight boys. OF this number,
nineteen were discharged and three es.
capped, and there remained June 90,
1872, cighty-six. Forty-three of the
boys were native, Of Illinois, fifteen Of
New York and eleven of Mis-.
souri,. Eleven were foreign born.
Cook county contributed twenty.eight,
MCLEAN the next largest number, nine,
and Peoria the next, siI. From AleIan-
der there were two. Previous TO com

eight inmates were engaged ss farmers,
four had worked in hotels, three were

Twenty-six boys were aged from eight

sixty had been in the habit OF using pro.

To the farming community, grooming
under the burden of high freight rates,
and to others legislation, on the vered
question does appear slow. But under the
new constitution, business cannot DO hur-
ried through the general assembly as
under the old. The Chicago Journals
correspondent explains the apparent
slowness Of our state body of law makers,
in a recent letter to his newspaper
Under the provisions of the constitution
no Legislature can transact business with
dispatch. Every bill must be read at
length on three different days, it must be
printed and IL subsequently amended,
must DO printed again before II is put
upon its passage, and when 1t arrives at
this stage j. must be voted upon alone.
No "omnibuses' of from ten to tfty bills
at batch, and one or two gridirons slip
ped in by an interested clerk, can be put
through the mill as in days
net long ago. There are more than a
score Of bills 40 voluminous that tho read
ing Of one Of them consumes the best part
of aggression. This must be repeated
three times, and at the second reading
must be gone through with section by Sec
tion and amended--a tedious but safe pro-
cess. In passing judgment upon the

blame upon members. There has not
been SO little speech-making by any legis-
laure in this state for
the las, ten years as in
this. The flight of the eagles has occu.
pied very little time. Speeches have been
exceedingly brief, as n rule, and under the
summary operation Of the previous ques-
ton the gag has been applied to often for
the public good. 1t application has many
times cut of discussion-the essence OF
