DOES HER OWN WORK.

Does she? What of it Is it a dis
grace? Is she any less true woman;
less worthy Of respect than she who
sits idle in fine clothes, vain of fingers
that never labor? "Does her own
work." We listened to this sneer
few days ago, and the tone in which it
was uttered betokened narrow, igno.
BILE mind, better fitted for any place
than country whose institutions rest
on honorable labor as one of the chief
corner stones. 1t evinced false idea
of true womanhoood, of genuine no.
bility. It showed the detestable spirit
of caste, of rank, which certain
class try to establish--a caste whose
sole foundation is money. Position in
their opinion is bought with gold, and
each additional dollar is another round
in the ladder by which elevation is
gained.-EX.

A TALE OF TRUE LOVE.

Old Clearsides, wealtl,est of men,
A handsome niece had he;
And when be kicked the bucket, then
His riches hers would be.
The best young men in all the land
Got sick with Cupid's cramps:
They hankered for the niece's hand,
And eke tho old mans stamps.
Their names were Smith, and Jones, and
Brown,
All were of high descent
Descending families go down
And that's the way theirs went.
The rivals very jealous got,
OF course, as rivals do
Said smith to Jones: GAS lievo as not,
I'd put a head on you."
But Jones stood steadfast az n rock,
And swOre an oath, by Jim
my, if Smith tried that, he'd knock
The stuffiinS out of him.
But Mr.. Smith took heart of grace,
Bought clarionets for cash,
And played them oft before tho place
Where Jones got sleep ana hash.
"Revenge is sweet" cried Jonos, "and 80
I'll do the worst can;
I'll get me up and quickly 20,
And bo a cream cheese man."
Smith, then, the victim of-alas -
That diabolic scheme,
Yelled "cheese it !" when he saw him pass
And heard his ice-cofd scream.
They fought, and Brown, arrayed in blue
Came saying: "This must cease!
Come on with me. now, both of you
I've got on the police"
He ran them in. They up were sent
For thirty days piece,
And Mr.. Brown. the meanwhile, went
And married Clearsides' niece.

considerable trouble if the attempt is

EDIsON's ELECTRIC LIGHT.
Offer OF esO,OOO for Two Hundred
shares Of stock Declined.

NEW YonK, Jan. 2.
The great demand for shares In the
edison electric light company con-
ttnues, and the extraordinary price Mt
which the shares are selling astonishes
every one. The history of speculation
In this country probably furnishes no
parallel for the remarkable rise in the
speculative value of tho stock. Tho
fact that there are plenty of capitalists
that are willing to venture many thou
sands of dollars upon the success Of
the Edison system shows conclusivcly
that they have the fullest faith that
Edison has triumphantly solved the
problem of electric illumination.
If the lucky holders of the stock do
not share this confidence, they at least
feel sure that the public furoro will
continue until they have disposed of
all their stock Mt princely figures.
They don't seem to care whether they
sell or not, and they refuse to transfer
a particle of the stock for less than five
thousand dollars a share. One of the
largest stockholders was offered, to-
day, eight hundred thousand dollars
cash for two hundred shares. He do
clfned the offer, and says he will not
sell under one million dollars. This
stock, for which he demands u fortune,
cost him twelve months ago, six thou
sand six hundred dollars, or thirty
three dollars a share. Several lots of
the shares were sold to-day for five
thousand dollars share. A good many
investors are picking them up In five
and ten share lots. There are only
three thousand shares altogether.
Edison is still burning about forty
lights at Menlo Park. The lamps now
in use cannot be turned down. They
must either glow with their full inten-
sity or be put out. MIR. Edison, how
ever, Is making bedroom lamp.
This will take three horseshoe pieces
of charred paper within its globe, and
there will be an apparatus by which
the electric current can be sent through
any one Of them at will. One of them
will furnish as much light as an ordi-
nary lamp, but the other two viii fur
nish less. There is also in process of
construction a cylindrical shade which
ON being placed over the lamp, may be
raised or lowered, so as to regulate the
degree of light.

REVISION OF THE STATE LAW.
[Shrevesport Standard lG Doc. ]

[shrevesport Standard 16 Doc.l
Some ofour contemporaries arc agitat-
ing tho question Of another revision Of
the civil Code, the Code of Practice and
the Revised Statutes, and some of tho
ablest lawyers that have been elected
to the General Assembly arc In favor
of the proposition. The history of tho
last farcical revision Is fresh In tho
memory ofall. 1t was Radical scheme
to feather tho nest Of Mr.. John Ray
and the Radical public printer. Tho
job is said to have cost the sum OF $IIO,-
900. though 1t is not worth that many
cents. On the contrary tho positive
damage done would amount to ut least
that much. No ono can discover, with
IL miscroscopc, amy addition to tho Civil
Code that Is of any positive value,
while there are many of them, together
with many other omissions, that
arc positively Injurious. Besides, tho
change of tho numbers of the articles
has led to inextricable confusion and
has rendered tho search for the deci-
sions in the Supreme Court reports u
work of much more difficulty than
before. Tho Code of Practic has not
been damaged so much because il has
not been tinkcrcd so much. But if
there IS any ono who can make out
what the law now is from the book
which he calls the "lcevisetl Statutes,u
we have failed to find him. AS If
that it is IA jumblc of confused
matter, the reviscr publishes two other
hugo volumes which, for want Of
another name In his limited vocabulary.
he denominates the "Digest." This is
a real lucas q no,, Ihcentio appellation;
for If anything in the shape of a law
book was ever a more crude and undi-
gested mass of matter, we have never
seen it.
The people are unable to pay much
for the compilation of their organic
law. But 1t seems to us that the work
might be done at such reasonable rates
as not to be a burden on them, as it
was when Mr.. John Ray and his coad
tutors were squandering the property
Of the Taxpayers Of Louisiana. At any
rate, 1t Is evident that some revision is
impcratively necessary.

ROMAN SOLDIERS As BUILDERS

1t was a principle ut Rome that the
soldier should never, in any case, re-
main unoccupied; and in employing
him in works of construction he was
preserved from dangerous idlencss
Frequently the Roman troops were
thus employed in works which were
almost superfiuous. When Vitellius
caused to be erected by his soldiers the
amphitheatres in the cities of Bologna
and Cremona, he thought less, so
Tacitus tells US, OF endowing the two
towns with useful ornaments than of
diverting for moment the turbulent
spirit of the legfons. From like rea-
son we see the Roman soldiers build
ing amphitheatres in Africa, defensive
walls in Brittany doubtless, also, the
Roman Wall which divided Scotland
and England - "Hadrian's Wan"-
was built under the same conditfons);
in Egypt, tombs, bridges, temples,
porticos and basilicas; In Italy they
made the great roads; almost every
where the mention of their work Is ac-
by the curious observation
that "the monuments were under
taken to occupy the leisure of the SOL
diers." 1t was not alone the soldiers
who were transformed into builders;
such was the simplicity of the pro-
cesses employed that they could be ap-
piled even by the prisoners wlsetzi I tt11ies, h,
Romans kept at their discretion, as
also by the convicts, who sprang from
the lowest ranks. Condemnation to
the public work was indeed among the
penalties of the law, and one of It's
chief duties consisted In quarrying the
Observation-Disclosures.

JAPANESE TOP SPINNING.
st. Nicholas for january,

SVs NlcNOAA6 1Of january.
At certain seasons of the year top
spinning engages great part of the
leisure time of American aud English
boys, and some of them become very
skilfal. But japanese jugglers are the
people to spin tops, and I will try to
describe some of their more difficult
feats, as saw them.
was at q Japanese Juggling enter
tafnment, and when the first Part Of
the performance was over, the men
who had been acting cleared the stage,
set ON It q small table, number of
swords, and q little house, like tho doll
houses sold In toy shops, bowed low,
and left. Immediately afterwards, O
richly dressed Japanese made his APP
pearance, carrying In his arms about
dozen tops, somewhat resembling COM
mon humming-tops, each with a long
thin stem run through the bulb-shaped
part, and protruding ut the top and
bottom-the top stem being cased in q
loose sheath. Bowling to the spectators,
the Japanese took one of the tons aud
twirled 1t briskly between his palms
for second or two; he then dropped it
upon the table, where 1t spun around

tiy motionless state that boy top-spin.
ners call tssleeping." The japanese
indicated by signs that 1t would stop
when he told 1t to, and turning towards
the table he lifted his hand as a COM
mand. No sooner had he done this
than the top stopped as If it really had
seen and understood the signal.
The japanese picked up the top again
and, twirling it as before, placed it
upon the table, where 1t spun itself to
steep. He then selected from the swords
on the floor one with long, keen
blade, and, lifting the top from the
table by the sheath of the upper steam
placed the point of the lower stem
carefully upon the edge of the blade
near the hilt. The top spun for some
moments in this position and then be-
gan to run slowly towards the point of
the sword. When it had reached the
point 1t leaned over at an angle of 45
degrees and continued to revolve for
several moments In that difficult posi-
tion, until 1t was caught In the juggler's
hand just as it was about to stopspinn-
ing.
Throwing the sword to one side the
performer again made the top spin
upon the table, and picking up five
others started them also. He then
stretched thin wire across the stage
and taking the tops from the table
placed them one after another upon the
wire, as he had previously placed the
first one upon the edge of the sword
They spun around for few seconds
without moving, but suddenly, as i
by one impulse, they all started on al
excursion along the wire, balancing
themselves as they went, with all thl
nicely of expert tight-rope walkers
Reaching the end of their trip they
dropped one by one into the hands o.
an assistant, who stood ready to catch
| them.
