means a very small weight, when it is
remembered that she is Of New Eng
| and origin aud is addicted to reading
Emerson's works aud other emaeia-
ting books. That by abandoning her
reading habits and drinking koumiss
she can add % pounds 10 her weight
is by no means improbable. What
is strange in her share Of the matter
is that she should place her reliance
in koumiss instead Of surer and SIM
pier helps.
By the provisions Of the engage
ment contract the young LADY is TO be
weighed at what the Cincinnati papers
call "the altar" or, in other words, in
the presence Of the minister who is to
perform the wedding ceremony.
Hence it follows that she is to To
weighed in her wedding dress. What
can be simpler than for her TO put on
the amount OF clothes necessary 70
bring her up to the required weigh !
Ii the contract provides that she is
not to carry concealed weights 1t
would not be violated by the act Of
wearing heavy clothing. No one but
the young lady herself can decide how
many gussets, cores, and other
abstruse garments she can law
fully wear. In fact, she has the un-
doubted right to wear as many as she
may think proper, and if she wears
enough to bring her weight up to ex-
actly l25 pounds, she will legally salts
ly the condition upon which she is to
be married.
After all, it is possible the Cincin.
natl young lady is simply the hired
agent of firm of koumiss manufac-
turers who have invented her contin-
gent husband and the entire story Of
his conditional engagement merely in
order to advertise koumiss as pro-
Queer Of plumpness. Yet, on second
thought this is improbable, since the
so called koumiss which the young lady
drinks is said to be Of her own manu-
facture, and the receipt by which it is
made is so simple that any one can
makeit. We had better decide that
she is very silly and that her betrOthed
is a stark lunatic, in which case the
whole affair is easily and clearly ex-
planned.

Postal Telegraph suggestions
Novv Vork UaraId On


The President is confidently expected
TO make some recommendation concern
ing the establishment of postal tele-
graph in his annual message. In our
Judgment he would grievously disappoint
public expectation II he failed 10 do so.
We hope he will read carefully Mr.. Gar
diner G.. Hubbard's valuable discussion
of the question in the current number Of
the North American Review. We have
seen nowhere stronger demonstration
of the necessity and advlsability Of a pos
tai telegraph.
Mr.. Hubbard shows that the present
telegraph monopolists have needlessly
maintained. and even Of late, increased
rates. Until l878-until the beginning,
that is 10 say, Of the Western Unions
later career Of absorption and consslida-
tion-that company made an average
yearly reduction in rates Of six per cent.
At present he says, "the rates are not
only too high, but the annual reports Of
the Western Union company for the five
years ended July, 1888, show an apparent
steady advance in the average rate from
Al cents in 1878 to 46 cents in 1888.
The Western Union Company ''practi-
oally monopolizes the telegraph business
Of the country" writes Mr., Hubbard, and
the inconveniences and evil results ofthis
monopoly he demonstrates by the show
ing that while in this country less than
twelve per cent Of the messages sent are
on social matters, in Europe more than
seventy-hve per cent are on social mat.
tiers. But these extraordinary and signih.
cant figures show not only that high rates
and a bad service, In the hands Of a de-
termined and grasping monopoly, have
restricted TO an unexpected extent the use
of the telegraph They prove, what Oh,
Herald has constantly urged, that theve i
abundant room for postal telegraph, and
that this will not necessarily interior,
with private companies. Eighty per cent
Of theWestern Union monopoly's business
is In thetransmisson Of business messages
eight per cent in press messages and only
twelve per cent in social messages. Th'
business messages the Western UnioT
and other private lines will retain, ever
after the establishment Of posta
telegraph, If they give speedy
service AZ fair rates. The social messages
which in Europe make up seventy.fv,
per cent Of all, and here only twelve, will
20 to the postal telegraph; and while theil
present small proportion will be triilinG
loss to the private companies, the social
use of the telegraph win have is Just and
very great increase so soon as postal
telegraph relieves the public from the in
cubus Of monopoly.
THAT the change Is absolutely needed
by the public is proved by the curious
fact, brought out by Mr.. Hubbard, that
since the absorption Of other companies
bv the Western Union monopoly
"thls has obtained no accessions to IL
business, for the increase in the number
of messages has been mo greater thar
the normal growth Of iss business" Tha
Is 70 say, this giant monopoly, which, (
use the words OF the Notorious "Westerr
Union pamphlet" is IAN army Of occupa
ton" and deaes opposition, has, in fact

50 restricted and discouraged the use Of
the telegraph that for five years Il has
entirely prevented any increase in this
use Is not that mOnstrous and unen-
durable?
The only objection to the establishment
ola government or postal telegraph which
deserves attention is that if the govern
ment owns and manages its own lines
this win cause considerable and unde-
slrable increase In the number Of office
holders, There is less in this objection
than appears on its face, for these new
ohice-holders would have to be experts,
who could not be arbitrarily changed
But II is not necessary that the govern
ment should own Telegraph lines any
more than il should own railroads or
postal cars.
Let Congress authorize the Postmaster
General 10 contract with telegraph COM
panies to forward messages, at specified
and low rates, under government super
vision, prepaid by stamps and delivered
as mail .eatter, and capitalists will rush
forward to make contracts, build lines on
the most approved system, and furnish
the service required on the specified terms.

A queer Condition.


There is a young lady in Cincinnati
who is conditionally engaged 10 be
married. That is to say, if on the day
Of her wedding she is found TO weigh
l25 pounds, she is to be married, but
in case she weighs less or more than
l25 pounds her engagement is to be
broken. She is very anxious to be
married, for she is now energetically
drinking koumiss with a view Of bring.
ing herself up to the required stand
ard. $500
Why the contingent husband Of this
young lady should insist upon having
exactly l25 pounds Of wife cannot be
imagined. 1t can easily be seen that
man might prefer a plump wife to a
lean one, but the conduct Of the CON
tingent Cincinnati husband cannot be
accounted for on the sole hypothesis
Of his preference for plumpness No
expert could possibly detect, without
the aid of scales, any differ.
ence between q wife weighing l25
pounds and one weighing l24 pounds,
and yet the latter would be promptly
rejected by this curious Oincinnatian
He insists upon precisely l25 pounds
neither more nor less. Hence it is
evident that he intends to use his wife
for some purpose for which any other
than a l25-pound wife would be use
less. Perhaps he is engaged in an CO.
oupation which requires him to carry
125 pound weight around with him
for frequent use, and imagines that Q
wife OF precisely that weight, who
would constantly accompany him and
be ready to step on TO the scales at any
moment, would be an economical and
labor-saving possession, This, how,
ever, is decidedly improbable.
There is really no plausible n.y.
pothesis which will explain an
honest mans desire for a 125'pound
wife and his refusal TO accept one Of
l2I pounds. We must, therefore, as
sumo that the Cincinnati man does
not wish to marry the young lady to
whom he is engaged, and regarding il
as grossly improbable that she will
ever weigh l25 pounds, has named
that weight as the condition precedent
to his fulfllment Of his promise,
At present the young lady in ques'
ton weighs 81 pounds, This is BY NJ

If you are in doubt as to whether
YOU are about to take a dose of qui-
nine or morphine, the following test
will set your mind at rest;
Quinine dropped in water will
leave a mickey appearance, and it is
not so quickly dissolved, often re-
quiring considerable stirring to make
it melt. Morphine on the contrary,
will readily dissolve in water and
cause no difference in the color or
