NOT HEREDITARY.

It is all nonsense to claim that consumption is hereditary. Who ever heard of baby without good strong pair of lungs ?-PhilG- deLplsiG Neaos.
 Some heartless wretch caught two cats, tied them by the tails and flung them into the cellar of church. The residents of the vicinity heard the noise the animals made, but thought it was the choir rehearsing.
 A small boy who was playing truant the other day when asked if he wouldn't get a whipping when he got home sreplied: s'What is five minutes licking to five hours of fun ?'' There's food for reflection in this.-IHe Judge.

 Some great thinker once said "Don't commence to write an article for publication until you are full of your subject" An ed- itor who intended to write an article on 'beer" remembered this advice, and got so full of his subject that he couldn't sit on a chair, much less write the article. ."-No7Tis- toao7l Herald.

 Dempsey went hunting the other day and took Johnny with him. They saw a rabbit, and Dempsey drew up and shot.

AN INTEREsTIN& @ RULE.

The following request was signed by near ly all the Republicans in the House and also. it is said, by some western and southern Democrats: ''For the purpose of non-con- currence in the Senate amendments to the Internal Revenue bill (House of Represents tives, 5,53SS, and having the same referred to a committee of conference of five members of each house, we respectfully ask the Com Inittee on Rules to report such amendments to the rules of the House as will enable the House to take such action promptly" In response to this request the Committee on Rules reported on Saturday singular rule, as follows: 'That during the remainder of this session it shall be in order at any time to move to suspend the rules, which motion shall be decided by a majority vote, to take from the Speaksr's table House bill 5, ,538, with Senate amendments thereto entitled "A bill to reduce internal taxation,' and to de- clare a disagreement with Senate amendments to the same, and to ask for @ committee of conference thereon to be composed of five members on the part of the House. If such motion shall fail the bill shall remain on the Speakers table unaffected by the decision of the House on said notion"
 These proceedings have caused some stir in Washington. The Washington correspond ent of the New York Herald says: Probably in the whole history of legislation in this country there was never rule of this kind offered for the consideration of legislative body. It not merely changes the general rules of the House for the speciie purpose of securing action on one special bill and no other, but it strictly limits the action of the House on this special bill to special conclu- sion. The Senate Tariff bill, and that only, may be taken up under it, and the House may vote to send it to 8 conference committee, but if it does not choose to do shat, then it is allowed to do nothing else to it, but the bill is to go safely back to the Speakers table. It realizes the Irishman's dream of gun which should fire so as te hit the object if it was a posal of such a rule to the House shows that the extreme protectionists don't dare to trust the remainder of their own party. even after they have coerced them into signing the agreement above given. The extremists are afraid that if the Senate bill is brought fairly before the House majority will vote for it, hence they take this extraordinary method of providing B rule by which the House shall be allowed to vote only enc way and shall be forbidden to vote for the bill.
 It is thought that the new rule will be moved early today and will pass, and that the rest of the programme outlined above will be carried out We shall see what we shall see.

At the date of the last report the savings banks of Italy. including branch es and agencies, were 357 besides these there were 64 credit institutions, 191 popular banks, paying interest on deposits and de- signed for the wage earning classes; and 3,449 postof6ces which receive savings de- posits The savings banks had $141. .621,- 996; the credit institutions held BIS, ,027, ,251 ]; the popular banks, $24, ,6e4, ,0s5; the post offices, $14, ,664, 700. The average amount of account in these institutions was, respectively, $13s, S15s, $203, and BPS, so that the postal feature of the system distributes itself over a wider area even than the institutions known as savings banks especially the aver age deposit made during the first half of 1882 was from $17.os to $19.3O in the post offices. against $4o.92 in the savings banks. The figures of withdrawals for the six months also indicate progress Of thrift in Italy when set of against the deposits.

leading French journal in reviewing the events of the past year notes that socialism in France does not appear to have that hold on the working classes with which it has been credited. It states in support of this opinion the fact that the general assembly of workmen on strike at Limoges has had to send a delegation to the English trades un- ions to seek to raise loan, in order to carry on the existing strike. It states, also, that the organs of the socialist associations do not meet with sufficient encouragement to enable them to be carried on.

Judge Finch of the New York court of ap- peals has just decided that it is not unlawful, wrong or negligent for children to play on the sidewalks, and that they are as much en- titled to protection as persons who use the sidewalks for ordinary purposes. The deci- sion was rendered in a case in which child skipping rope had fallen into an unprotected area from the sidewalk, and the defendant claimed that the child had no right to be playing there.

Those interested in the prosperity of the South are looking for great results from g machine invented to separate the fibre of the jute plant from the stalk. Jute is not only available for many manufacturing pur- poses in connection with other material. but is an important material in it's exclusive use The cost as prepared for manufacture has been substantially in separating the fibre i; this accomplished by machinery would be an inexpensive process.

Building Commissioner Gaylor, of Brooklyn, has not found very satisfactory state of things in that city. He has discovered that in many of the edi6ces in which crowds of children and adults are wont to gather the doors have been hung so as to open inwards, and that in others the means of exit are anything but satisfactory. The most surprising feature of the report pre- pared by the inspectors in MT. Gaylor's de- pertinent is the large number of churches which have been discovered to be faulty in
