Innnnese Facfnry Girls.

The Japanese have just made anot Yer
advance in their imitation of Europ, IN
customs. Up to the present time poi u
lar prejudice has greatly restricted the
field for women's labor. In the interior,
indeed, the weaker sex take part in
agricultural operations, but at t great
centers of industry men have onopo-
hzed almost the whole area Of re lunera-
tive work. This system appea to be
doomed, as some of the more q .erpris-
ing manufacturers are Offering employ
ment to women, and 30 far as the ex-
pertinent has yet been carried these
philanthropists have no cause to regret
the. venture. The feminine employees
are content with considerable lower
wages, and yet work the same time
twelve hours-as the masculine monopo-
lists. Whether they turn out the
same quantity is not stated, but IN
quality the result of their labors is said
to compare not unfavorably with TIE
average of mems work. So great has
been the success of the experiment that
several new factories, chiefly for the
manufacture of cloth, are about to be
built exclusively for the employment Of
women. A factory act will soon be
needed, if it be true that the feminine
hands now in employment are kept at
work without intermission from A. NJ.
to 8 P. N. Japanese women are not, as
!. rule, very robust, and such prolonged
labor as this must necessarily impose a
severe strain even On the strongest.

AS an illustration of the enormous in
crease of the use of opium and morphia
in the United States the following sta
tistics have q painful interest, and it
must be remembered that this Is no ex-
ceptional case. In one of our large cit
les, containing twenty-five years ago q
population of $1,000, the sales Of opium
and morphia reached $50 pounds and
375 ounces respectively, or about forty
three grains of opium and three grains OF
morphia yearly for each individual, If the
consumption was averaged. The popu-
lation is now 81, 900, and $500 pounds
of opium and $500 ounces OF morph1a
are sold annually. While the popula-
ton has increased ffty-nine per cent,
the sale of opium has increased 500 per
cent, and morphia LOO, or an average
of 206 grains of opium and twenty-four
grains of morphia to every inhab,
liant. But there are additional
sales nj from 100000 to 100000
pills of morphia, which would give
us ITO ounces more of the drug. One
fourth of the opium sold is consumed In
it's natural state, and three-fourths are
made into opiates, the principal one
being laudanum. The imports of opium
into the United States for the years 1878
and 1880, ending the thirtieth OF June,
were 533, 451 pounds, valued at $2,4oo,'

A Queens Robes.

4 fashionable modiste Of San
Francisco had her parlors crowded one
entire day with guests inspecting an
outfit which she had just completed per
order for Queen Kaprolam, the wife of
King Kalakaua, OF the Sandwich
islands. Among the many handsome
robes was one which is intended for a
grand state occasion. 1t is made in the
native style of the Hawaiian islands, and
is termed the "holoku." The design
is the same as is known in the South,
especially in New Orleans, as the
volonta," the robe being in one piece
and gathered into deep yoke that
covers the shoulders. The material is
of the very richest velvet, of Marie
Louise blue, striped with gold and
combined with plain velvet of the same
shade Another was of embossed velvet,
of the most delicate peach-pink shade,
which constituted the train and corsage.
This was over petticoat of plain Turk
satin, also peach-pink, and was richly
embroidered with white jet. The half
sleeves and high-rolling collar were of
the satin, and thickly covered with jet
embroidery. Handsome white jet
ornaments fastened the corsage, which
WAS pointed in the front and back. The
most beautiful of the lot, however, was
marine blue satin combined with ecru
satin and finished with heavy garni-
ture of crimson crushed roses. This
gown was also made in the "holoku T"
style, with long, flowing sleeves open at
the shoulders and extending nearly to
the bottom of the gown, and were lined
with crimson satin. Each suit had two
pairs of slippers made of the same
material as the dress they we're to be
worn with.

The Peanut.
A large and healthy peanut

a large and healthy peanut
Lay cozily abed,
And it chuckled, oh, SO gleefullyl
And to itself it said:
There's great big world before me
And my mission yet to do;
And up I'll be and doing it,
Ere the sun has dried the dew.
There are greedy boys to conquer,
And hungry girls as well;
What world of power I've hidden
Within this little shell.
Though they STAY me in the battle.
Though they crush me like a worm.
Though they bake and crunch nv body
II | can I'llmake 'em squirm."
And the small boy grabbed that peanut
And he cracked it tween his teeth.
But when he would have swallowed il.
1t choked him e'en to death;
And the peanuts work was ended
1t had fallen in the strife
1t had done its mission nobly,
Though the doing cost its life.

Empress Elizabeth, of Austria, begins
the days work and amusement with
cup OF cold chocolate, taken at 7
o'clock. Then she goes to the stable to
see her hunting pet; then receives her
steward and makes arrangements for

takes beefsteak and couple of glasses
of Hungarian wine, after which her
lady-in-waiting tells her the news and
reads to her paragraphs from divers
newspapers, She dimes at six, and then
dons her riding habit and goes to the
large circus which is connected by It

FOR THE LADIES.
A Broom Drill.

A new idea in amusements this, and
its inventors were some girls in Lowell,
Mass. Twelve young ladies, COM
anded by o captain, gave public
df4il of their proficiency in handling the
broom. The girls were uniformed in
red, white and blue. The brooms were
decorated with colored ribbons, and as
the young women marched with the
streamers behind them they looked
very martial and were warmly applauded.
A young lady, dressed in the national
colors, was the g drummer boy" of the
broom corps. A fan drill is performed
in somewhat the same fashion, only the
fan can be used more gracefully and
effectively than the broom. But, after
all, perhaps, the best broom drill is the
one that takes place in the kitchen,
where there is only one broom and no
streamers.

CABINET.

Some OF the more distinguished poll
ticians OF the Stalwart order OF architec-
ture are still engaged in the not very deli
cate business OF constructing new Cab
met for MI. ARTHUR. This is a need
less exercise OF the gigantic inteliects
engaged in it. Mr.. ARTHUR will have
no need OF a Cabinet, unless it is one
made OF wood. And, by the way, the
one suggested By DeN CAMERON would
be composed mainly OF that material.
Old man Howe, OF Wisconsin, and the
superanuated FREELINGHEYsES, OF New
Jersey, would be something after the
order of the dotard KEY who, az Post
master General, allowed BRADY and the
Star Route gang to rob the Government
with both hands.
Fortunately, however, the country
will not be afflicted with a Don CAMERON
Cabinet. GARFIELD will probably get
we'll: at least he will probably not die.
And while it is true he may be unable
to perform the duties devolving upon
the Chief Executive Of the nation, the
country will get along without a Presi-
dent for the balance Of his term, as it
has for the past ten weeks, rather than
have such a one as it believes Mr.. ARTHUR
would make. ARTHUR may as we'll dis
miss all Presidential aspirations from
his mind. He will not get to imbibe
the malaria Of the White House.

AND GOULD.

The rumor about john w. GARRETT
having sold his interest in the B. 4 o.
Railroad to JAY GOULD, which was
printed on the telegraph page OF Satur-
DAVIS REGISTER, was the cause OF a good
deal OF comment in this city. "GoULD
wants a trunk line to the east" every
body seemed to think, and won't he
make things lively if he gets the B. &
o." won't he shake things up" were
among the calculations. One leading
councilman observed. could would
let the right Of way over any street in
Wheeling which le would ask in twenty
four hours another said there's
some style about him and we would be
glad to give him sI:it," and so the con-
yersaliOn ran.
But Mr.. GARRETT is probably satisfied
With his investment in the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad.
