Does Labor Pay:

There is O great deal of suggestive
ness in the following item from the
Norristown Herald
paul Boynton and Captain Webb
are to have O swimming match, and
James Gordon Bennett has promised to
give the winner 81 900. Two poor sew.
ing girls in New York, the other day,
had a shirt-making match ut twelve
cents per shirt. The winner completed
four shirts in sixteen hours. but we be-
lieve no one gave her 81 ,O00."
1t is not in our nature to find fault
with athletic sports, as such. They
are choicely good in their way. But,
according to our philosophy, there is
but one class of men in the world who
are entitled to earn an honest living by
nonsense, and they are circus clowns.
When men become professional sports
men, they are entitled to less respect
than those who earn an honest living
by everyday hard work. Paul Boyn-
ton and Captain Webb, made more
money from their fancy business, in
one day, than any poor humble girl can
make by hard work in year. They
don't need Mr.. Benefits thousand dol
lars, except occasionally, when sickness
or other misfortune places them in dire
extremity. Then they don't get it. If
they come home from long day IS
hard work, and find the coal bin empty
and but one potato in the cellar. land
that rotten one,l they must suffer in
silence. The fancy men who play ball
and swim. for n living, can gather in
gold watches, and diamond rings, at
wholesale, while the poor boy who
wants to know something, saws wood
or digs in the garden all day, and
studies all night, often pays for his
learning with hunger.
Whose fault is it? Manifestly. of
these Industrious, hopeful poor people:
They always have money to go to the
circus, or the negro minstrel show, or
to buy patent glue or cure for a
rheumatism that they never had. They
pay for seeing tlrese baseball games,
and such, when they cant afford a
quarter Of dollar for the contribution
box in the church. If they would think
more of the hard work they do, and
less of the fancy idle work which the
jugglers do, they would prosper far
better Huntington Hdtckeye.

Steel In His Stomach,

Within short time the performance
of an old trick has been revived in this
city. 1t is the mysterious passing of u
bit of steel rod up the nose of the oper-
ator and through the head, causing it
to appear at the back of the neck. The
trick is very simple to those who are
acquainted with it. During its opera.
ton the piece of steel which is about
three and one.half inches lo1g, slight
ly larger than q darning needle, and
pointed somewhat at each end, is in.
serted and pushed up the nose of the
performer of the trick.
Within the past week young man
was doing the trick for the amusement
of a crowd. Suddenly he sneezed, and
tie steel, instead of being projected
was swallowed. The consequences
showed themselves Immediately in in
tense pain in the stomach, and he went
to physician for relief, but none could
be obtained, and ever since he has been
suffering from it. What the ultimate
effects will be cannot be stated now. AT
present he is little easier, working at
his trade as usual, and does not suffer
so much as he did. The pin remaining
in his stomach will probably cause his
death sooner or later. The doctor who
has the young man in charge is still
trying to get it out and it is to be hoped
that bis endeavor. will not be fruitless.
An abundance of guests and limited
lodging rooms caused Jimmie to be
"slept out" at q neighbours. On aris'
ing IN the morning he was invited to
remain at breakfast. Well, l guess
not" he replied, I'VE have mighty
good breakfasts ut our house when we
have company"

Snake stories are losing their hold on
the American public. Their authors
find that new attraction of this sort
must be had, and 80 Canadian journal
leads off with cells. A forty-horse
power water.wheel in New Edinburgh,
Ont, was stopped by cells, and the
foundry had to shut down in conse.
quence. This is the second time this
year that the men have quit work on
that account. Some of the cells taken
out of the wheel were nearly four feet
long and nine inches in circumference.
The managers of that foundry should
quit the iron working business and take
to eel-ishing.-Detrou Free Press.
Victor Hugo, at the supper recently

How THE CHINESE LADIES DRESS
Lady Alcock has given reception at
her London homo to the ladies of the
Chinese Embassy. Only one gentle.
man was present ; this was the Chinese
Ambassador himself, who appeared
very magnificently in an overdress of
deep yellow brocade. His wife and
sister wore skirts of some red material,
with overdresses and long hanging
sleeves of purplish black brocade,
splendidly embroidered between the
shoulders. The sleeves OF one were
bordered with broad band OF magno-
liza satin exquisiteiy embroidered with
white stocks and silver leaves the
other had band of pale mauve satin
embroidered with silver and gold. The
hair OF both was drawn tightly back and
stitfened with pomatum into curious
protuberance at the back, edged with
beads and tinsel ornaments. Orna-
mental pins and red, violet, and yellow
flowers were worn also. A little child,
the son of the Ambassadors sister, wore
an overdress of richest Sevres blue
brocade, intermingled with some light
er stuff the headdress was on founda-
ton like skull cap OF stone colored
felt, and was composed of beads and
spangles. -Er.

BEWARE OF MORTGAGES. - Prof.
Swing wisely remarks that it will be q
great mistake and great misfortune if
the return of good times shall bring
back the old fervor for property and
adventure which made mortgages
among tho most popular things of the
day. Mortgages" he adds. "are a
pestilence, and debts are regular
cholera. Estates die under them.
Churches sicken and have to be set up
with nights; individuals pine away,
wives and children become disheart-
ened in the mortgage season, and the
financial graye-digger is busy day and
night. Swamps and dirty houses were
the black death o. Europe, debts are
the plague of America"
