An ordinance regulating the American
Telegraph company, offered by AID. Morse,
was referred to the committee on fire de-
partment.
Alderman Watt presented the follow
ing claims: 5000 payable to George
HOLSTER on accouet of the fire depart
ment, another of $50, payable to Charles
Proeler, for work on city sewer.
A warrant for $56.66 was ordered drawn
in favor of the Sisterhood of Bethany.
The claim of Charles Proeler was re-
ferred to the alderman of the First ward,
while the claim of Hollister
was pretty extensively discussed.
Aid. Glenn stated that Mr.. HOLSTER had
contracted to build eleven cisterns, but
these cisterns were not completed by him.
The alderman doubted if the city even
knew of the existence of the warrant. He
remembered that the council had peremp-
torily refused to pay the claim at tho
time The warrant was dated in 1874.
Ald. Glenn thought it was strange indeed,
that Mr.. Holister should have carried it in
his pocket until the present time.
Aid. Watt explained that at
one time the city had
advertised for the warrant, but it was sup
posed it was lost. Money had been set
aside for its payment at the time.
Upon motion of Aid. Morse it was re-
ferred to city attorney and city comptrol-
Ter.
Aid. Clark moved that the bill of Robin
son & Mead of $2.26O for sprinkling
streets be taken up and a warrant be
drawn for the payment of the same.
The motion met with opposition. Aid.

A House Blown TO rieces.

Mrs. Byram Topham of No. 4742 Paul
street, Frankford, had tried by numer-
GUS devices to destroy the bugs in her
furniture, but her efforts, up to yester-
day, were unsuccessful. at last she
bought two gallons of benzine, and yes
terday morning she began by saturating
her parlor furniture with her whole
stock of the liquid. Her mother, Mrs.
Hedf, who is seventy years old and an
invalid, was sitting in the next room.
Mrs. Topham kept the door between the
two rooms closed, on account of the
odor from the benzine. By the time she
had finished her distribution of the
liquid among the furniture, Mrs. Top
ham, feeling faint and dizzy from the
effects of the vapor in the closed room,
opened the door and stepped into the
dining room, when the benzine vapor
rushed out of the open parlor door and
ignited from a small fire in the kitchen
stove. Mrs. Topham saw flash and her
mother enveloped in flames. Selling
the chair in which the old lady sat, she
dragged it into the yard, her own cl 9th
ing also taking fire. At the same time
she heard crash and saw the front and
part of the side wall of the house shat
tered by the explosion, fall TO the ground.
The house was a six-roomed, three-story
brick, with alleys between it and adioin-
ing houses. The three front rooms are
total wreck, nothing but the roof re-
naming up.

How a Gtri May Always Look n ce.

when / was girl there was one of
my young friends who was distinguished
for making her things last Her dress,
gloves and ribbons were marvel of du.
rability. I used to wonder how she
managed to make them last SO without
their looking shabby. but I ceased to do
SO after I had visited her at her own
home. The reason why her clothes wore
so long was she took good care of them.
Her dresses were brushed and folded
carefully away, and the slightest spot on
them was removed as soon as it was dis
covered. Her hat was wrapped in an
old ket-handkerchief, and put away
in box as soon as done with, the strings
and laces being Strengthened and rolled
out most Systematically each time. Her
gloves were never folded together, but
were pulled out straight and laid fiat in
box, one upon another, each time they
were used, the thinest hole being mended
almost before it mad time to show itself.
But the thing that impressed me most
was the care she bestowed upon her rib
bons. When making up bows she used to
line the under part of the ribbon with
white paper, and this not only prevented
the ribbon from becoming limp and
creased, but kept it clean, 80 that when
the bow was soiled on one side she
could turn the ribbon, and the part that
had been covered Games ont looking
fresh and new. That girl married and
brought ur large family. Her husband
had to fight his way, and did so bravely
and successfully, for he became wealthy.
But his prosperity was due quite as
much to his wife's care and economy In
saving money as was his in making it.

A PIueky Naval Apprentice 7

'You are plucky little fellow" These
words were spoken on board the fsgship
Portsmouth of the training fleet on the
occasion of the distribution OF medals to
the boy. The speaker was Admiral
Porter, and the person addressed was
Apprentice Krepps of the first class. The
circumstances that brought about the
compliment from such distinguished
source were as follows: Some seven or
eight days ago. while the Portsmouth
was still far out of sight of land, bound
home from Europe, number of ap-
prentices were sent alof5 to take in some
canvas. There was pretty stiff breeze
blowing and the vessel rolled heavily.
After the sails had beer taken in and the
boys were in the act of obeying the call
to come down, when the vessel
gave sudden lurch, and over
went young Krepps into the
sea. The cry, "Boy overboardr' was
Immediately heard, and orders were
given for a boat to put out to the rescue.
Krepps was repeatedly lost to view while
the vessel was heaying to, although it
was seen that he was making q brave
struggle for life. He made for the stern
of the vessel, and got hold of some
oho1uS onoe "OlO h"nSAAS eAoAOs Ahoco
he clung to like grim death, and then
called out to the men in the boat, "I
guess there's no danger; / am here at the
stern" Blood was streaming from his
eye, which had been cut in falling. 1t
was for his great pluck that he was
specially noticed by the Admiral, who
took occasion to make the remark when
handing him the Admiral Bailey medal
of gold, given annually to the appren-
tice who is most proficient in gunnery.
The boy is under fourteen years of age,
and is small for his age. Apprentice Nc
Kigney, of the first class, got the Farra-
gut prize for seamanship, and Appren-
tice McFadden got a medal for second
position in gunnery.

Shutting up Children.

The London Lancet relates distress
ing case of suicide of a boy 10 years old !,
who had been shut up in his bedroom as
punishment, The editor comments
adversely ON leaving children or young
persons and the weakly or tronbled in
mind alone: .The solitary state is alb
horrent to the nature and mind of man.
Whether the brain be immature IN it's
development or morbid in its state, it is
wrong in scientific sense-that is, op-
posed to the laws and teachings OF physi-
ological scienee-to leave it alone. The
possibility will even concede the
probability-of subsistence of excite
ment is not sufficient set-of against the
dangers Of self-destructive intellectual
activity. The mind always works to its
own injury when it works alone. Re-
fection, introspection and sels.examina-
ton are essentially abnormal processes.
The proper action of mind is on the
outer world, or on such conceptions OF
fact and object as may be readily cor
rected by present observation or ex-
perience. Abstract processes of thought
are never sale for the young or the
weakly and troubled in mind. Healthy
activity, SO far as these two conditions OF
MIND are concerned, is directly relative.
1t is not good for man to be alone in any
sense. We would therefore again pro-
test against the recourse to solitary con-
6nement as q punishment for children,
and against sseciusion' in any form for
the unsound of mind. The two methods
of treatment stand on the same footing,
and they are both equally bad.

The Lauadrles OF the Seine.

Women kneel in the boats on the
banks of the Seine, pounding their linen
with the wooden battoir, scrubbing it
with stiff brush on ridged board,
while they sing as merrlly as larks, and
reply to the banter of the passing bareee
and cantier. They turn the handle of
the wringing machines and do all the
hard labor, while the men are busy
ironing. The man in the blue cotton
trousers and snowy white shirt, with the
scarlet gicdle round his waist, can iron
as we'll as any Chinaman. He can boast
of having among his colleagues men who
Golfer a frill, or tbring up the pattern
of lace better than any emigrant from
the Celestial Empire. The irons, fat
and box, are pushed deftly to and fro
over the white linen, which has been
starched, and the man who wlelds them
has bit OF the wax in his pocket ike
the chalk of the billiard player
which he passes over the hot iron
when he comes to the front, the collar or
the wristbands. He has learned the
rudiments of his art when, soldier in
the barracks, he was compelled to do his
own washing and ironing, and he works
by the piece, earning his living, and
glowering angrily when his profits are
menaced by the threat of introducing
the mangle, as yet almost unknown on
this side of the channel. The blauchis-
seur goes into Paris on the Monday
morning with the clean linen, and the
ironers, who have been working over
time on the Sunday and on the two pre-
cediBg days, take rest. They may be
found on the Monday afternoon at one or
other of the concerts at Pont du Jour,
enjoying themselves as best they can
with the firm intention of not resuming
their occupation until the Wednesday,
Sometimes their employers can not
secure their services until the Friday,
but, as general rule, they prefer to
wait, for they are ungallant enough to
maintain that it is far better and more
profitable to employ men than women

Miss Kathleen's look of horror and
disgust at good Mis- Polly's ignorance of

beautiful quality of the sunfower, the
beaming and innocent expression of Mis-
Bumpus' countenannce, while she i'm
