The New York legislature has unan-
imously passed a law requiring en-
ployers to provide seats for women in
their employ, and to give them oppor-
tunity for rest at reasonable intervals.
But it is feared that the law in practice
will prove as difficult of enforcement as
if the employers were required to fur
nish pearl powder and pufs to their
.'salesladies" twice a week.

81 Don't Want That Stuff"

Is what lady of Boston said to her
husband when he brought home some
medicine to cure her of sick headache
and neuralgia, which had made her
miserable for fourteen years. AT the
first attack thereafter, it was admins
tered to her with such good results that
she continued its use until cured, and
was so enthusiastic in its praise, that
she induced twenty-five of the best
families in her circle to adopt it as their
regular family medicine. That stuff
is Hop Bitters. Standard.

CONGRESSMAN JAMES O'BRIEN, of New
York. obtained divorce from his wife
recently on the ground that she was an
habitual drunkard, and when under the
influence of liquor was very violent.
O'Brien in his bill averred that he treat
ed his wife with great consideration,
contributed generously to her support,
and tried to reclaim her, but to no pur-
pose. In lieu of alimony he offered to
give her $1,000. The case excites some
interest because of O'Brien's promi-
nence in politics, and because divorces
are not recognized by the church to
which he belongs.

SECRETARY BLAINE sent to the Presi-
dent a communication in regard to the
case Of Michael p Boyton, now impris-
oned in Kilmainham jail, Dublin, I'M
der the Irish Coercion act. From the
papers in question, it appears that Boy
tons friends have been unable to estab-
lish that he is citizen of the United
States: and. under the circumstances,
Mr.. Blaine says he is powerless to do
anything in the matter. On the ground,
however, that Boyton labored under
the impression that he was a citizen OF
the United States, and acted accord
ingly, Mr.. Blaine undertakes, if the
United States Senate should so direct,
to interfere to procure BoytOn's release,
or his trial on the charge on which he
was arrested.

suggested that Mr.. Beecher be invited

the Rev DIR. Evans, declared that Mr..
Beecher's lecture at London on a pre-

The planetary aspect of September, willis
not marked by any striking incidents, is
rich in topic for astronomical study. The
harvest moon will flood the earth with its
serene light, and for few nights eclipse
the beaming stars. But their turn to shine
will come when her sho1t- lived glory wanes
and then, too, the commencement of the
crisp, frosty nights may be an ticipated
when planets shine with defination dear
to the hearts of astronomers. Six of the
seven planets are on the ives ern side of the
sun, and fall into the ranks as morning
stars. Saturn, Neptune, Jupiter, Mars,
Venus and Uranus give the order in which
thev rise, thoughi Nept une and Uranus are
invisible. Those who have access to tele.
scopes will possess treasures Of enjoyment
in views of the pale-tinted Neptune, of
the peerless ringed planet Saturn, and of
the fascinating belts and moons Of Jupiter.
Those who can only watch the stars in their
courses with unaided vision will enjoy the
superb picture that is nightly unfolded be-
fore their wondering eyes. Two comets

The Largest Land Owner.

Col. Dan Murphy. of Halleck's Station,
Elko county, went to California in 1874, and
may be said to have made the country pay
him well for his time. He is now probably
the largest private land owner on this con-
tinent. He has 4, 200, 900 acres of land in
one body in Mexico, 10000 in Nevada, and
%, 600 in California. His Mexican grant
he bought four years ago for 5000, 600, OF
five cents an acre. It is sixty miles long,
and covers a beautiful country of hill and
valley, pine timber and meadow land. II
comes within twelve miles Of the city Of
Durango, which is to be station on the
Mexicyn Central. Mr.. Murphy raises wheat
on his California land and cattle on that in
Nevada. He got SIS, 900 sacks last year, and
ships 10000 head Of cattle year right
along.

these ovules OF egg-germs in the oyaries
and that she will lay Just SO many eggs,
and if properly fed and kept will keep on
laying until the oyaries are exhausted and
the original stock Of germs is used up.
Then her occupation is gone. This is not
correct. It might as we'll be said that all
the feathers of hen, produced during her
life and after her annual molts, are existing
in the skin at one time, and if the hen
should live so long as to exhaust the supply
she must wear her last coat continuously or
60 naked.
The fact is that the egg germs or ovules
are continually roduced from the cell SAD
stance furnished by the blood, Just as the
flesh and fat and feathers are formed when
new supplies are required. It is q parall-
ell case with vegetable as with an ami
nal, for as the annual leaves and blossoms
and fruit are formed of cell matter furnish
ed by the sap at the right season and under
the force Of circumstances, SO the cell mat
ter for the formation Of eggs is constant
~ supplied in the proportion of the vital
force and circumstances of the hen. It
has been said that q hen has 600 ovules in
the overies and that these six are expend-
ed during the four or six years in which
she is productive. Thisis mere fancy, and
is erroneous. A brown Leghorn hen has
lived 10 years and has laid over 1000 eggs.
The writer owns Plymouth Rock hen that
is now seven years old and has laid more
than 1900 eggs, and in her eighth year is
laying six eggs weekly. But il the food is
reduced the hen will stop laying as surely
as mill without grist will stop paying out
-four. In very cold weather, too, and when
sick with the roup or the snufaes, this hen
stops laying; other Gates of similar import
are not rare, so that we may be sure
that a production of eggs is matter Of
management. and not one fixed Gbiniti0
when the chick was in the shell or, indeed.
what is also implied in such case, when
the egg was formed in the ovary Of the par
ent fowl. Indeed one cannot tell how far
to go back in such case.
Well, then, let it be repeated: the old
hens are inclined to brood, and it we want
eggs next winter we must let them brood,
if it is only upon chalk egg or a hard
ened one. We don't want chickens at this
ate season. But the hen needs rest, and
at this time, when eggs are cheap, che may
very well take her vacation and rest and
lay up material for eggs to be laid in the
| next three months. She must be we'll fed
meanwhile. Put her in comfortable,
clean place with heap of corn, some
gravel, dry sand or ashes. and fresh water
every day, and let her rest in peace. Next
month she will leave her nest wondering,
perhaps, why that chicken did not come,
and after few days will begin to lay, and
by November she will be down to her work
filling the baskst-provided always that the
materials are supplied in abundance, as
corn, wheat, buckwheat and fresh water.

contend that it is striving to overcome q

made to prevent confusion and secure

argument in it's favor is that those who have

Why Women r main Young.

This is the charming theoryof womali's
age advanced by Samuel Coleridge: "Eve,it
is well known, was l6 years of age when she
was awakened at the side ct her husband.
Sixteen years old, say ancient writer's. and
thatso bold that they must have seen Eve's
register written upon the lilies Of Paradise.
Now, women, who have nine times out of ten
more curious rabbinical learning than the
mean envy of our own sex will allow them;
women. inheriting the privilege from their
first parent, belieyethat, after certain time,
they have a just rightto let their first sixteen
years go for nothing; and so they sink the
preliminary sixteen with a smile, counting
with Mother Eve their seventeenth as their
first real birthday. And they are right. For
itdeducts from your woman Of five and forty
all that she cares to lose, giving her fair
start with Eve, and pegging her back to full
bloom nine -and-twenty. And, indeed, it is
impossible that any really charming woman
should be q day older"

Grasping For More Land.

Ii. +
A writer in the Maine Farmer gives the
following picture of those grasping fo-
more land. Though not exactly applicable
to thetnorthwest in any particular, yet II is in
great degree, if you make the land limit a
quarter section, instead of fifty acres. The
writer says:
A man who has only money enough to
buy and stock fifty acre farm is not wise,
ordinarily, if he buys one hundred acres,
and then there are thousands Of men now
approaching middle life who have battled
with debt and the legion of troubles which
accompany 1t in trying to hold on to more
land than they have capital to manage, who
would be wise to either sell a part of the
land or if it cannot be divided, sell out and
buy a smaller or cheaper farm. There is
probably no one thing that has done SO
much to retard progress among farmers as
this, and perhaps no one evil so universal.

the farmers of nay acquaintance are crippled
for the want Of capital.

OF putting every dollar could make into
