Learn to Unite Strings.

ONE story of the eccentric Stephen
Girard says that he once tested tho
quality of a boy who applied for sit
uatiOn by giving him a match loaded
at b 18th ends, and ordering him to light
it. The boy struck the match, and aft
er it had burned about half its length,
threw it away. Girard dismissed him
because he did not save the other end
for future use. The boys failure to
notice that the match was double-end
one was natural enough, considering
how matches are generally made; but
haste and heedlessness "a habit of
careless observatory are responsible for
a great part of the waste of property in
the world.
Said one of the most successful .ner-
chants of Cleveland, Ohio, day or two
since, to lad who was opening a par
Gel, ''Young man, unite those strings
don't cut them.''
1t was the first remark he had made
to a new employee. It was the first
lesson the lad had to learn. and it in
volved the principles of success or fail
ure in business career. Pointing to
well-dressed man behind the counter,
he said:
There is man who always whips
out his scissors and cuts the strings of
the packages in three or four places.
He is a cool salesman, but he will
never be anything more. Ipresume he
lives from hand to mouth, and pre-
sumo is more or less in debt. The
trouble with him is that he was never
taught to save.
~ told the boy just now to unite the
string, not SO much for the value of the
string, as to teach him that everything
is to be saved, and nothing wasted. II
the idea can be firmly impressed upon
the mind of beginner in lite that
nothing was made to be wasted, you
have laid the foundation of success

fHE DOCTRINES OF TIE PARTY
The doctrines announced bv the Chicago
Convention are not the temporary devices of
q party to attract votes and carry an election;
q careful study of the spirit of our institu-
tions, the events of our history and the best
impulses of our people. In my judgment.
these principles should control the legislation
and administration of the Government In
any event, they will guide my conduct until
experience points better way. If elected, it
will be my purpose to enforce strict ote lience
to the Constitution and the laws, and to pro-
mote, as best may, the interest and honor
of the whole country. relying for support
upon the wisdom of Congress, the intclli-
favor of God. With great respect, am very

Women's Rights In Africa.

THE Bolanda negroes in Africa be-
lieve in the supremacy of woman. 1t
is with them the law that women shall
sit in the councils of the Nation; that q
young man, on entering the matrimo-
NAL state. shall remove from his own
village to that of his wife, and, in
forming this relation, he shall bind
himself to provide his mother with
food so long as she shall live. Here,
too, tie wife alone can divorce the
husband. and the children, in that
event, become the property of the
mother. The men cannot enter into
the most ordinary contract without the
permission of the lady superior of the
domestic circle. In the very heart. of
Central Africa is the paradise that
many women are vainly striving for in
America, and the rights she clamors
for here are already granted in this
far-off country to women, and by what
we call an "uncivilized people" A
few delegates from Bolanda might be
of good service to the cause, for they
at least can speak from experience of
what, to us, are yet untried laws.

Franklin Institute, that he had made
some calculat ons of the maximum
speed at which locomotives could be
driven before the centrifugal force on

become so great as to cause them to

approximate only, showed that the
limit of speed was in the neighborhood
of $50 miles per hour.

mixed with more or less yellow; while
in dark hair the black is always mixed
with yellow and red--even the blacklist
hair containing as much red pigment as
the very reddest-the lighter colors
being ovcrpowcred by the black.

Our Chief Cities.

The census of our principal cities
shows that the proportionate growth of
Chicago has been greater during the
last ten years than that of either New
York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, or Bos-
ton. From population of 2oS,977 in
1870, it has increased 10 474. 4O4+ in
1880. a gain of nearly 60 per cent.
No o'her of the great cities exhibits
such AN Increase. Although Chicago
has not the 100000 inhabitants recent
ly claimed by its citizens, even that
city OF boundless ambitions ought to be
satisfied with such rate of growth. If
it is maintained for the next twenty
years, Chicago will have a population
about as large as that of New York to-
day, and will rank with the most popu-
lous cities in the world.
Our chief cities stand relatively about
as they did in 1870. New York comes
first, with 1,2O8,541; Philadelphia Sec
Ond, with 49,, 900; Brooklyn third, with
554, 465; Chicago fourth, with 474, 4O4;
St. Louis fifth, with about 45O, 900; Bos-
ton sixth, 1852, 900; Baltimore seventh,
with $4,000; Cincinnati eighth, with
25O,915, and New Orleans ninth, with
a population of which we have not yet
exact returns, but which probably ex-
ceeds 100000.
The only change in this order is the
gain of the sixth place by Boston. 1t
was held in 1870 by Baltimore. Ten
years ago San Francisco was tenth, with
a population of 1919. The present
census may keep it there, but Washing
ton has made 4 remarkable and excep-
tional gain, the District of Columbia
showing $4,000, against $4,000 in
1870, of which the Capital has nearly
all.
Among the other cities, Cleveland
takes the first place, with Isl, 946. New
ark comes next, with $4,000. Either
Louisville with $4,000, or Pittsburgh,
comes third in order, with Providence
fourth. Providence has 1O4, 500 inhab-
itants. With Chicago and Washing
ton. it has increased about fifty per cent.
in ten years.
Taking the eight principal cities, we
find that they aggregate population of
about 4,462, 900, against 3, 356, 900 ten
years ago, a gain Of over one million,
or about one-third. Together they fall
short only three-quarters of a million
of the total population of the United
States in 1900, and exceed by about
the same number the population in
1890.
If these cities keep up the same rate
of increase during the next twenty
years, in 1900 they will have a popula-
ton of about 5000. 900, or an average
of million each.-M Y. Sun.

Pleasures Of Eating.

About Staying Too Long in Friendly
Visits.

ONE class of persons will need an
especial amount of grace this summer.
We mean those women who, having
worked hard in their homes all winter,
are visited by their city friends all
summer. Perhaps they have married
the sons who by fate of fortune have
kept the old homes. All the brothers
and sisters, with their troops of chill.
dren, must come back to the shade
trees and meadows for quiet rest.
Perhaps they have no special love for
the woman who presides over the old
time house, but it is such a convenient
thing to have place to visit where
there are no board bills to pay. Ten to
one, the wife in the country is more
worn than her city relatives, and is in
no wise able to bear the extra care or
manage the additional cooking. For
by force of circumstances, she has been
'dressmaker, milliner and servant, may
be, in her large family the whole year
through. She has turned dresses
wrong side out and upside down. She
has made every dime go its far
thest. And now the visitors have come
to use up all herself-sacrifice has saved.
1t might have been pleasant to have re-
ceived them for three days, but when
they remain three months, the case is
different. We once heard gentleman
remark that he "could say all the new
things he had to say to visitors in one
day." and, as rule, we quite agree
with him. The cheapest way to visit is
to 60 to hotel or boarding house, and
pay an equivalent for what one receives.
Of course, one has congenial friends
whom it is a pleasure to see much and
often; but too many so-called friends
are persons who are serving their own
convenience persons who never offer
to help in kitchen or parlor, and who
seem oblivious to the fact that anything
is beng done for them. Don't make
your summer trip at the expense of
anybody's comfort. Let your religion,
if you profess it, permeate all your
plans, especially those for summer WIS.,

IMMIGRATION.
The material interests of this country, the
traditions of its settlement. and the senti-
mens of our people have led the Cove n
ment to offer the widest hosp tally to emf
grants who seek our shores for new and
happier homes, willing to share the burdens
as well as the benefits of our society, and in
tending that their posterity shall become an
und stinguishable part of our population.
The recent movement of the Chinese to our
Pacific coast partakes but little of the quail
ties of such an emigration, either in its pur-
poses or its result. 1t is too much like an
importation to be welcomed without restric-
ton; o much like an invasion TO be looked
upon without sOl!ctude. We canrOt consent
to allow any form of servile labor to
be introduced among us under tho
guise OF immigration. Recognizing the
gravity of this subject the present Ad-
ministration, supported by Congress, has
sent to China Commission OF distinguished
citizens for the purp, Sc OF securing such q
modification Of the existing treaty as will
prevent the evils likely to arise from the pres
ent situat on. 1t is confidently believed that
these diplomatic negotiations will be success
full, without the loss of commercial inter-
course between the two powers, which prom
ISIS great increase of rec procal trade and
the enlargement of our markets Should
these efforts fail, it will be the duty of Con-
gress to mitigate the evils already felt, and
prevent their increase by such re .tr.c ions rs,

ties and the freedom and di nifty of labor.
