IT will be painful news to her grand
army of friends, the announcement that
Miss Lolita, the charming actress, has
been compelled by i'll health to abruptly
close an engagement in Chicago, with
slight prospects of ever being able to
again resume her place before the foot
lights. Her health has been gradually
falling. Her professional ambition has
led her to overwork herself until her
physician has ordered peremptorily an
entire cessation from labor. Symptoms
OF that deadly malady, consumption,
have become manifest, and for some
years the constitution of the charming
little actress has been gradually giving
way. This decline was originally at
tributed to the habit OF sleeping with
her mother-the elderly person by con-
slant contact becoming rejuvenated at
the expense of the younger. BY medi-
cal order this custom was given up a
year ago or more, and marked i'm
provement in Lotta's health was soon
manifest. 1t is little singular that her
medical adviser didn't direct a further
application OF this well-known law OF
contact as affecting the physical system
and thus effect the regeneration OF the
fading Lolita.
In addition to other troubles, Miss
Lolita is suffering from local injury re.
ceived while riding on horseback during
her visit to England. BY some false
movement her spine was injured, and
for some weeks she was at that time
placed hOrS du combat. Two weeks
since, while playing the "Marchioness, y
she made misstep and fell, renewing
the injury SO that she was hardly able
10 go through the part. The public will
sadly miss the fascinating Lolita.

THE NEW SWISS LABOR LAWS.

There are some n0tew worthy clauses in
this the Short-Hime) oil, nearly the
whole Of which has already been adopt
ed by the National Council. The days
work of none (adults of both sexes in
cluded) is to exceed eleven hours, anu,
as Il rue, there is to be no Sunday nor
night work, the hours of labor being re-
stricted witnin the time between 8
O'Clock A. Nj. and 8 O'Clock z. M. Un-
der certain specified circumstances lac
tory inspectors will be empowered to
permit exceptions to this rule, but only
SO Jar as regards men-the law forbid
ding women and children to work dur
| ing the night and OH Sundays ls abso-
lutte.
Women can not, with one exception,
be employed within eight weeks before
or after their confinement. The eXcGI-
ton is that, on production of a surgeons
certificate testifying to their complete
recovery, they may return to work Six

work halt an hour before the noon stop-

A HEADER ON HEADLINES

The milkman who dilutes his mer-
it among his customers, is considered a
fraud. The tentacles of the law are al
ways feeling around for him and occa-
sionally seize him and his cans, and he
sups sorrow. The grocer who makes a
pound of sugar weigh eighteen ounces
by careful admixture of sand, or ex-
pands a gallon of molasses twenty or
twenty-five per cent. before issuing 1t
TO his patrons, lays himself open to the
charge OF dishonesty, and il detect ed
loses cast and business and sometimes
his liberty for a temporary period.
Parallel practices prevail to quite an
extent am Jngst a certain class OF news
paper makers. in diluting their goods
with thin solution OF headlines. This
may have originated in the custom
among law reporters, of giving the syl-
labus of the decision in concise form
as a caption to the full opinions Of the
Court. But no parallel exists between
the two cases, either in the necessity or
the manner in which the custom is car
ried out. The only object visible to the
naked eye in this shallow headline bu-
siness is to consume space and cheat
the purchaser. A simple indication OF
the subject matter OF an article is not
only unobjectionable, but desirable, a.

| THEFT OF A BREAKFAST. .-Brillat-Sa
arin was travelling With Two lad les
wnom he had promised to escort as far
as Melun. They had started early in
the morning, and arrived at Montgeron
with threatening appetites. But, alas
at the inn where they put up there
seemed absolutely nothing left to eat.
Only an excellent leg of mutton turned
before the fire. 'Unhappily, il belonged
to the three Englishmen, who mad
brought it with them, and who were up
stairs drinking champagne and awalt-
ing it's arrival. "But, at least" said
BriIlat- -Savarin to the cook, '.you could
dress some eggs in the gravy"
The cook assented, propounding the
more than questionable doctrine that
the gravy belonged to him Of right as
his perquisite. While he was engaged
breaking the eggs, Brillat-Savarfn ap-
preached the leg Of mutton and drew a
large pocket-knile on fell designs intent !;
Herewith he Inflicted twelve deep
wounds on the unresisting meat. which
soon gave up the last drop of its vital
Juice. By-and-6y the French party was
making a delicious breakfast on eufs
broulies au jus, with cups Of steaming
coffee and cream, and laughing merrily
at the thought that they uad the SUBJ
stance Of the leg of mutton, while the
luckless English were endeavoring to
masticate the tibrous tissue, which was
all that remained Of 1t.

HOAXiNG A KING.-Tne Indian CORE
spondenL OF CAe London Standard says
an amusing hoax has been played off
upon the Monarch of the Golden Foot.
IL was announced to his majesty that
an ambassador from the sultan of Tur-
key had arrived at Rangoon aud was
awaiting the arrival OF ship That was
laden with gifts OF great value. Natur-
ally flatLered by this compliment from
such Il mighty potentate, the king de-
putel an officer Of rank 70 proceed To
Rdngoon and conduct the am
bassador to his august but impatient
presence. 1u due Time the envoy
presented his credentials in the
shape OF flowery epIstle from the Sui
tan OF Roum, ana was received with
mach ceremony. Valuable presents i'll
return for those supposed to be on their
Way were shoWered upon the ambassa-
uor and his very limited suite, consist
ing Of an Interpreter and COOK. The
ship from ROum must have been de-
tained by contrary winds, for The am
Dassador, having further TO 60, was
Obliged 70 take leave OF his maJesty be-
fore his imperial masters offerings made
their appearance. So he returned 10
Rangooh; but there the impUsters fell
out over the division Of the
spoils, which amounted to some
thing like 1900. The cook, dis
gusted with the share allotted to him
seEl--not more than S3o-gaye infurma-
tion to the police, anu declared that the
plot mad been pranDed by himself, the
supposed interpreter Gone HasSan, ii
brOker), and the Burmese official Who
contrlyed to be deputed to receive the
ambassador. That exalted parsonage
was himself liberated Arab or Abys
sinlan slave, who had come to Rangoon
as taQulr on board a native ship Irom
Nagore, and was simply tool IN the
hands OF The cleverer r0gues, his accom-
plices. The Burmese officer naturally
pleaded not guilty, and seems TO have
satisfied the king Of his innocence,
though public opinion points 10 him a.

FEMININE PREJUDICE.

Feminine prejudices and jealousies
are somewhat unpleasant when they
make their way into political CIRCLES.
At one of the later receptions OF Presi-
dent MacM ahon, Madame jules Simon,
the wife of the new Premier, was pre-
sented tor the first time. She mas always
been known for her extreme radicalism,
which carried her 50 far once as 70 in
duce her to smuggle RochetorPS Lam
terne from Belgium across the frontier
into France.
She also has the reputation of having
inspired her husband with a good deal
| OF his republicanism, Such personali-
| ty was by no means acceptable to- the
! aneestra rich Madame McMahon, a
born DE Uastres, and who is, moreover i,
strongly Papal and Bourbon IN her pre-
possesslons. The quest was. tolerably
! well received by tue Marshal, but when
she was presented TO Madame la Mare

her, in very frigid tone, and she was
uuceremonleusly directed with wave
| of the hand to a seat on distant SOFA,
the hostess herself not defining 10 notice

For some time she sat entirely alone

the circumstance, with excellent tact

SEWING MACHINES.

Again the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Ma
chimes triumph over the world. The Centen-
nial Commission have officially announced
the awards, and decreed for the New Wheeler
h Wilson TWO DIPLOMAS OF HONOR AND Two
MEDALS OF MERIT. This is O double victory,
and the highest award which it was in the
power Of the Centennial authorities to bestow.
No other sewing Machine received such a
recognition. More than thirty OF the best pro-
ducers of machines in this and other countries
entered for competition, and at Philadelphia
in 1876, as at Vienna in 1873, and at Paris in
1867, Wheeler & Wilson lead the list. After
careful, rigorous, and exhaustive examina-
tion, the judges unanimously decided that the
superior excellence OF these machines de-
served more than one medal or diploma, and
consequently, they recommended TWO OF
EACH. The Centennial Commission unani-
mousy ratified the action of the judges, and
the public will indorse the decision OF these
ablest OF mechanical experts. A claim Of
equally distinguished honor for any other
sewing machine is only an attempt to hood
wink the people. Read the following, which
stamps the "New Wheeler & Wilson" as the
STANDARD SEWING MACHINE OF THE WORLD.
