Jupiter cannot fail to be recognized, for it is

Who Sets the Fashions !?
BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD.

Who sets the fashions, I'd like to know
For the little people beneath the snow
And are they working weary while,
To drese themselves in the latest styles
There's Mrs. Primrose, who used to be
The very picture of modesty.
Plain were her dresses, but now she goes
With crimps and fringes and furbelows
And even Miss Buttercup puts on airs
Because the color in vogue she wears;
And as for DandeliOn, dear me!-
A fainer creature you ne'er will see.
When Mrs. Poppy-that dreadful flirt-
Was younger, she wore but one plain shirt
But now l notice, with great surprise,
She's several patterns of largest size.
The Fuchsia sisters-those lovely bellies!
Improve their styles as the mode compels,
And, though everybody is loud in their
praise,
They ne'er depart from their modest
ways.
And the PaDsy family must have found
Queen EliZabeth's wardrobe under
ground.
For in velvets and satins of every shade
Throughout the season they're all ar.
rayed
PinkS and Daisies and all the flowers
Change their fashions as We change ours
And those who knew them in Olden days
Are mystified by their modern ways.
Who sets the fashions, I'd like to know
For the little people beneath the snow
And are they busy weary while
Dressing themselves in the latest style

The Quickest Trains in the World.

The pace of the quickest trains in En-
gland, says an English paper, is quicker
by ten miles an hour than that of the
quickest trains of any other country.
In Great Britain tho average velocity
of the express is fifty miles an hour. In
Belgium it never exceeds forty-one
miles an hour; between Paris and Bor-
deaux it is thirty-nine and half miles
an hour. In Russia and in some parts
of Switzerland the rate is twenty-seven
miles an hour. Per contra, in England
railroad travelling is attended with more
risk than in any other country in the
world. Yet even thus the perils of the
steam locomotive are much exaggerated,
for French statistician, after very
laborious examination of the deaths oc-
curing from the railroad accidents over
the surface of the whole earth, states
the result of his Investigation thus: "If
person were to live continually in a
railroad carriage, and spend all his time
in railroad travelling, the chances in IA
vor of his dying from railroad accident
would not occur until he was $50 years
old"

during the last political campaign, de-
posed that he knew H. L. Morey, the in
dividual to whom it was alleged Presi-
dent Garfield wrote what is known as
the "Morey Chinese" letter, and who
subsequently confessed that he perjure,l
himself, this morning pleaded guilty to
the indictment for perjury presented
against him, and Judge Cowing sent
him to the State prison eight yerrs.
The Tribune says: In imposing the
sentence Judge Cowing spoke as fol-
lows: 1.-The case is one in which the per-
jury was of the most dangerous eharac-
ter, and one which affected the result of
a National election. In opposing such
Ii heavy sentence for the offense, do it
to serve as IA warning to others against
going upon the stand in Il court of JUS
tice and deliberately periuring them
selves where the act involves such enor-
nous interests" Assistant District At
torney Bell says O'Brien is miserable,
worthless fellow, who would swear to

REFUNDING.
Ex-Secretary Sherman's Opinion of
Secretary WINDOWS Plan.

New YORK, April 15-The Tribune
says: Ex Secretary Sherman said to a
reporter: Il see no difficulty in carrying
out Sec'y WINDOWS policy so far as de-
veloped. He has ample means for redu-
cling the intel est on the and per cent
bonds. He can pay off all those who
wish to be paid in nOLey in strict ac-
cordance with the terms of these bonds
leaving the mass of them at 81 pei
cent interest, payable at the pleasure OF
Congress. This is not only for the pub
lie interest, but it is in the clear line OF
his power and duty. Indeed, l think it
is better for the country than any re-
funding plan that-would be carried out
under "a new law, the old securities re-
manning as redeemable bonds bearing as
low rate of interest as any new bonds
which could now be sold at par, and
they are more readily payable with
the surplus revenue than any new
bonds could be. If it should appear at
the next session that per cent bond
would sell at par, that can authorized.
Secretary Window is cautious and care
full, and has done the very best for the
public interest possible"
do you think the public will be likely
to respond largely to his efforts?"
"Yes; / have no doubt about it unless
an unforeseen or sudden revolution oc-
curs."
