BLUE MONDAY cigars at GIG 18th stree

MUCH dissatisfaction is expressed by the
merchants of Louisiana avenue between
Ninth and Tenth streets, with Lieut.. Ar
mold for compelling them under admoni-
ton of prosecution, to remove the exhibit of
their wares from the pavement. AS that is
a pssfectly business street, and never visit
ed@kcept by people on business, and never
crowded to an extent that the presence of
these wares would be annoying, the order
of Lieut.. Arnold is rather absurd as it is
unnecessary.

Can Celibacy be Excused?
from the New York Times

from the New York Times.
Young men are continually advised
and urged, privately and publicly, to
take a wife, the supposition being,
whether erroneous or not, that young
women are very willing to be taken
under almost any circumstances. The
postulate that marriage is always
desirable is obviously false. 1t is only
desirable when such conditions exist
for and between the cou pies as are
far from common and frequently
unattainabl BILE. The prospect Of connubial
misery would seem to be quite as
good as the prospect of connubial
happiness, and no amount Of fore
sight or discretion will insure any
pair against sharp disapp ointment and
bitter discomfort. Everybody is
aware of this it is little less than a
truism- and yet on all sides preach
ments resound in favor of universal
matrimony. Many persons do not
wish to be married, and more gener-
ally those anxious to be- are no fitted
for the state. Good wifehood OF true
husbandship is not inherit ed with
birth; nor does it appertain to the
multitude. Those who cannot live
alone cannot as rule live together.

ALWAYS Idle.

The girls who, owing to their worldly
prosperity, have nothing to do, are to be
sincerely pitied. Safety lies in constant
occupation even "busy idleness" is
better than nothing; for while at work
on worsted dog or cat, Amanda has no
time to think of her woes or nerves.
Young men are forced to get their living
whether they like it or not, but large
number Of young ladies in family have
absolutely nothing to do. They are
above the necessity Of following any oc-
cupation they are often too many in q
family to assist in domestic duties they
have returned home from school with
some very poor accomplishments their
knowledge of French and German is
not sufficient to allow them to converse
in those languages and Just enough
music to indulge in doleful song, or
play badly on the piano. They dawdle
through the day in ifeless way, and
fall victims to thousand little ailments
which the doctor is supposed to put
right by physic. And the most curious
thing is that, should the instincts Of the
girl force her to put some Of her ener-
gies into use, she is as likely as not to
be thwarted by the mother, who insists
upon it that her darling is everlasting
herself

Wedding-pial Lore.

Among the superstitions about pins is
that the bride, in removing her bridal
robe and chaplet at the completion Of
the marriage ceremony, must take es-
pecial care to throw away every pin
worn on this eventful day. Evil fortune,
it is affirmed, viii sooner or later newt
ably overtake the bride who keeps even
one pin used in the marriage toilet.
Woe also to the bridesmaids If they re-
tain any of them, as their chances OF
marriage will thereby be materially
lessened, and anyhow, they must give
up all hope Of being married before the
following Whitsuntide. On the other
hand, in some parts Of England, q bride,
on her return home from church, is
often at once robbed of all the pins
about her dress by her single friends
present, from the belief that whoever
possesses one of them will be married
IN the course Of year. Much excite
ment and amusement is caused, and the
bride herself is often the victim O.
rough treatment from the youthful com
pehtors for this supposed charm.

A Land Without Birds.

A French novelist somewhere says of
the Englishman, "Let US go out and
kill something's This is his idea of the
Englshman's practice. But he forgets
his own countrymen. We have still
kept our birds, though many have been
destroyed by cold and hunger during
these latter winters, and many more by
shooting and battues. Still our birds are
the glory of the land-Gloria in excelsis
But in France the fields are mute.
There is no music from the skies. The
larks have been Melted and eaten. The
birds Of gay plumage have been shot
and their wings put In ladies' bonnets.
All over the country sparrows, fnches,
robins and nig htingales have disappeared.
All are killed and eaten. But now comes
the punishment. The trees are eaten
bare; the vine is destroyed by phyllox-
er@; the leaves of the shrubs are de-
voured by caterpillars. They are seen
hanging in punches from the trees. The
birds have been killed that destroyed
the grubs and phylloxerm. Hence de-
structioa is spreading over France. The
crops are eaten up at the roots, and the
vine is in some districts entirely fruitless.
This inhumanity, like curses, comes
home to roost. Waterton has calculated
that single pair of sparrows destroy as
many grubs in one day as would have
eaten up half an acre Of young corn in a
week. And the London Times says
! For the matter of birds, France is dark
| and silent land. The eye searches in
vain, the ear listens in vain, for nature
there sits lamenting her children that
are not. Whatever may be said of Re

Never get out of anybody's road.

Don't burden yourself with any ex-

If you happen to own skates don't lend
them to little brother, little sister, or any
one else.
IF you get uncomfortab1y warm, hand
your ulster or sealskin saoque to the first
one who comes along. They'll keep it
with pleasure.
Always carry temperance tracts about
for few moments to get hot lemon

that love on skates always runs smooth.

Women In Russia.

In the Russian literature of the day
the women have very conspicuous part;
80 much so that the present period is
called ssthe woman's era.'' In fact, there
is no magazine, no daily or weekly jour
nal that does not have women on the
editorial staff. True, among these writ
ers there are no geniuses, but as q rule
their work is not inferior to that of the
most widely read male iterat. Strange,
indeed! During the dark period of the
Nihiist movement, while the members
of the sterner sex were everywhere hid
ing themselves and reducing themselves
to nonentdty, our women came boldly to
the front and took in their delicate hands
the hard task of curing our numerous
social wounds.
They organized the corps Of Sisters
Of the Bed Cross, and the sanitary corps
to battle against the various epidemics.
They started subscriptions and collec-
tons in aid of those suffering from fam
inc. They taught the peasants children
for salary that would hardly buy the
tobacco of the male teachers, from $35
to 500 year. They established asy-
lums for children and the aged, hospitals
and industrial schools throughout the
country. They formed private university
classes for their own education. Now
female physicians, female assistant sur
geons, female teachers and female tele-
graph clerks are to be found in every
province. The energy, ability, self
sacrifice and good will of the Russian
women of the day are indeed wonderful,
especially in view of the apathy, selfish
ness and cowardioe Of the men.

GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES'.
AZ, EnxaisI, Raucat,on.

An English girl is expected to have
certain accomplishments which, after
marriage, give way to domestic duties;
she expects to live for homo, not for 60
ciety. The moral atmosphere Of the
English home education is superior to
that Of American education in general.
Girls are less forward and more respect
full they grow into women more slowly
and ripen better; they are physically
stronger, and therefore have simpler
tastes; and as to society, they do not
know what it means before at least the
age Of seventeen or eighteen. American
girls have certain advantages, however,
which custom denies young English
women of good position !; they are not
forced by an unwritten law TO go into
society and play their part IN it, while
the English girl has no choice. The
''upper ten thousand must marry or
become s'blue-stochngs" before the
world agrees to let them alone and il is
the avowed duty Of an English mother
to give her girl the advantages Of ssa
season in London.

What Not to Kill.

The French Minister of Finance has
done good deed in causing placard to
be posted which it would be wise for cit
liens of oil countries to have before their
eyes. It tells farmers, sportsmen and
boys and others what creatures hereto.
fore by a multitude of ignorant people
considered to be pests to be abated-not
to kill, as follows:
Hedgehog Lives mostly on mice,
small rodents, slugs and grubs- animals
hurtful to agriculture. Don't kill the
hedgehog.
Toad assistant; he destroys
from 20 to 30 insects per hour. Don't
kill the toad.
Mole-It is continually destroying
gTubs, larvae, palmer worms and insects
injurious to agriculture. Nc trace Of
vegetation is found in its stomach.
Don't kill the mole.
Birds Each department. loses several
millions annually through insects.
Birds are the only enemy able to con-
tend against them vigorously. They
are the great caterpillar killers and ag-
ricultural assistants. Children, don't
disturb their nests.
Lady-bird- Never destroy. for they
are the best friends Of farmers and hor-
ticulturists, and their presence upon
aphis-ridden plants is beneficial
