Whitewashed Babies.

a missionary stationed at one of the
South Sea Islands determined to give his
residence a coat of whitewash. To OBJ
tain this in the absence of lime, coral
was reduced to powder by burning The
natives watched the process of burning
with interest, believing that the coral
was being cooked for them to eat. Next
morning they hheld the missionary's
cottage glittering in the rising sun white
as snow. They danced, they sang, they
screamed with JOY. The whole island
was in cOmmOtiOn. Whitewash became
the rage. Happy was the coquette who
could enhance her charms by daub of
the white brush. Contention arose
One party urged their superior rank; !;
another obtained possession of the brush,
and valiantly held it against all comc's;
a third tried to upset the tup to obtain
some of the precious cosmetic. Toquiet
the hubbub, more whitewash was made,
and in a week not hut, not domestic
utensil, war club, or garment but was
as white as snow; not an inhabitant but
had skin painted with grotesque
figures; not pig that was not whitened,
and even mothers might be seen in every
direction car ering joyously, and yelling
with delight at the superior beauty of
their whilewashed babies.

Silent Women

One Of the prominent citizens of a
suburb of Chicago promised a ladies'
sewing society a certain sum Of money
for their treasury if they could NEE: for
one afternoon, each with her own indi-
vidual work and, attending strictly to
business, refrain from speaking one
word during the time allotted to society
work. The great effort was made with
success, showing what perseverance and
wi,l-pcwer can do in this rough world
The local paper says: Though the CHS
and groans were many and hcartrending,
the laughter grew quite dangerous
though at times the quiet was quite
funeral, again the click of knitting
needles, the rustic of the fancy work
or the winding of yarn would make it
quite lively. Only the tongues were
still. Thoug Oh some were forced to liter
ally place marble in their mo lths,
though strips of court-plaster were on
hand, though the bottle of mucilage was
several times passed around taking
them altogether, nothing OF the kind
was required, gave the wort and the will
of the ladies, who had pledged them
selves to earn, in that way, the requisite
amount for their treasury.

last few days there have been two
gigantic consolidations-one of the
Pacific roads, the other of the great
Southern lines in the Valley of the
Mississippi. The effect Of such COM
binations is to increase the power of
the railroads over the business of the
country and to put the people more
and more at their mercy. There is no
longer any question as to the authority
of congress to regulate railway traffic
between the States but it is impor-
tant that no considerable mistakes be
made in the first attempts, which
would enable the railroads to preiu-
lice the public against that kind Of
legislation.
