WORKING PEOPLES HOMES,

New York capitalists have Of late
been paying great attention to inprov-
ing the system Of tenement hoNses in
that city. Designs were asked for and
sometime since a free exhibition Of these
models was made, and great interest was
manifested by all classes of people.
There, as elsewhere, tenement houses as
a rule. are inc .eniently, dangerously
and in other particulars very badly CON
structed. But notwithstanding this, it
is shown that they are most excellent in
yestments. Men who have money to in
vest urge that it will not cost much
more to build good tenement house
than it does to build bad one, and
when the model house" is ready for oc-
cupancy the outlay for repairs will be in-
significant. Moreover, where there is
health there is thrift and cohtentment.
Let the doctors bill be reduced to the
minimum and there will be money laid
by for the rent, and the apartments will
not be vacated at the end of the month.

The Champion Sleeper.
Providence Journal

Mr.. George Hanney, who was found
dead on his bed at GAIA, was remarkable
for his habitual drowsiness. He could
sleep at any time, in any place, and un-
der almost any circumstances. 1t is said
that he often dropped off into a sound
sleep while standing at his loom, and
even fall over on to the loom would not
awaken him. He has also been known
to fall asleep with one foot on the hub
of his wagon-wheel, while trying to get
into the wagon. Sometimes while driy-
ing he would go to sleep and fall of his
seat. Many other instances could be
cited in illustration of this striking char
actelistic of the man. As he was only
partially undressed when found lying OIL

She Went TO the show.
New London (Conn.) Telegraph


A little Harbor road girl, whose ten
der years precluded her attendance at
the theatrical entertainments, set her
heart upon seeing "Uncle Toms Cabin"
played at Lawrence Hall two nights ago,
This pleasure her parents were disinclined
to give her, so when the night of the per
formance came she ran away from home
and made her way to the theater. She
had no money, but her artlessness and
childish innocence won for her free ad,
mission from the kind-hearted ticket
taker, and in a front seat to which she
was conducted by an usher, just as if she
had been a "grown-up' lady, her de
lighted senses took in the full measure
Of enjoyment of play by real, live ac
tors. Meanwhile, her father was scour
ing the city, in the thick of a driving
rain-storm, for the strayed child. Fin
ally he bethought him of the theater
and there found her.

The Yard Refer says:

The history of Mormonisn is not quite so
black with crime and heartless persecution as
that of Christianity, which is about the only
difference between the two. What education
has to do with these twin relics, unless it is to
squelch them, it is not quite clear. In any
case, education can only be associated with
these twin relics to their detriment. The
licentious book, commonly called the bible,
should not be read in public schools. The
schools should be kept pure.
Can't some one fire out that jackass. Is it
possible that new country struggling for a
place in the ranks of pure civilization, shall
be cursed with such blatant ignoramuses,
whose only arguments are filth and blasphemy?
Out on such ours. The Monaghan is saint
alongside of such libel on civilization.
