The idea that beggar should be made
to pay for his meals is all right, but if
Detroit had twenty places where he
could get has dinner by al hours work
with hammer or saw he would still find
thousand soft-hearted wives who would
feed him at the kitchen door. The
women are more to blame for tranops
than all other causes. So long as &bev

The tramp deserves arrest on sight
and sentence to prison on general
principles. Not one in a hundred can
claim pecuniary loss as a foundation for

as for reformation, it would be wasting

About Feeding Tramps.
from the Detroit Free Press.


The local philanthropists who are adj
vocating the establishment of public
stone or wood yard, where tramp can
break stone or saw wood for a meal or
lodging, should remember that the
thing has been tried on small scale
several times, and the result proved any
thing but satisfactory. Any private
wood yard in the city will give tramp
work enough to earn a meal, but the
first thing in order is to get the gentle
man of leisure to the spot. This night
be accomplished by tying him hand and
foot and loading him on wagon, but it
is doubtful if milder measures would
succeed.
In point of fact tramp is good-for
nothing. He is an idler; he is aloafer
he is criminal. If there was any in
dustry in him it is not one time in a
thousand that he would have to leave
his own town for work. He deliberate
ly sets out on his travels with the idea
that the world owes him living. IL he
can't get it by begging he will secure it
by stealing. He stands ready to cheat
lie, steal, rob, commit arson, and no
less than six of the scoundrels have
committed rape in this state within the
past eight months.

The human hair market, it appears,
is being seriously affected by the troub-
les in China. Marseilles the, great
European depot for supplies for wigs,
perukes, chignons, plaits, false fronts,
etc., has hitherto received annually as
much as forty tons of the treasured
merchandise from the long-haired
Celestials; and an ingenious calculation
has shown that upwards of two mill
ion female heads have beer depend
emit for their coifures, directly or indi
rectly, upon the hair trade Of Marseilles.
Now, through the action of the Pekin
government, or the patriotism of the
Cinnamon, the wig business of France
is imperiled; and unless fashion steps
in to make hairless heads tolerable, and
false head-gear superfuous, M. Jules
Ferry may find the dissatisfaction OF

he mathematics his bad luck, when he
should curse his own stupidity.

AN old fashioned case of honesty is
reported from Canada. The widow of
a business man who failed many years
ago, paying eighty cents on dollar,
has just surprised his creditors by pay
irg them in full. Before the bankrupt
died he told his wife that it was his wish
that she would settle his debts as soon
as the income from his estate warranted
it. If she had not practiced the closest
economy that time would have never
arrived, but she seems to have been act
uated by an ambition to clear her hus-
bands name and her efforts were di-
rected to the accumulation of sufficient
money to meet all the outlawed claims
against him. Instances of such devotion
to principle are SO rare that it is not to
be wondered at that the recipients Of the
money were almost speechless with as
tonishment. IL occasionally happens in
this country that men who have been
let off by their creditors on the payment
of narrow margin of their indebted
ness feel it incumbent upon them to
pay the full amount when they regain
their ability to do SO, but the cases are
comparatively few. A general settling
up of honest debts of that kind in
America would make a tremendous
change in the ownership of great deal
of property.

The Emperor of Brazil is a highly
educated man, and has surrounded him
self with cabinet of liberal and en-
ightened men, who show their intelli-
gence in decided movement in favor
OF emancipation of Brazilian slaves.
Brazil is the largest of South American
nations, and out of population of ten
millions nearly eighteen hundred thou
sand are slaves. The plan of the cab
met is to iberate all slaves sixty or
more years of age. These are about
100000 in number. The registration of
of all slaves within year, and all not
registered will be considered free, and
the government shall fix price and
buy all slaves who desire freedom, and
to do this system of taxation will be
imposed upon slave owners. It is ex-
pected that $4,000 slaves viii be freed
annually in this way, and universal
freedom will come to Brazil in about
five years. The Emperor has the COR

Disease i'm Closed Houses.

From the toronto Mal.}
Some of the most eminent physicians
of Montreal say that great many ladies'
and children have been attacked after
their return from their summer rests,
whether at the seaside or inland, with
typhoid and malarial fevers and dipn-
liberia. There are many such cases in
which the patients are in imminent peril
at present. The origin of these diseases
is mystery to even medical experts,
as those who are suffering reside in we'll
severed and properly ventilated houses.
A prominent surgeon, when asked his
opinion of the cause, could attribute it
to nothing but shutting up the houses
while the residents were absent, thereby
making their interiors damp and I'M
wholesome. Many parents have had
the affection of losing children, and
some two and three, by the fatal cpl
demic, diphtheria, which has never been
so prevalent as this year. Typhoid
fever has been also greatly on the IN
crease.

1t was hurried because the bridegroom
had to go to Europe on business, and
wanted to take the new wife along. 1t
was wonder that he spared the tune to
fall in love, even in vacation time. He
hadn't even paid much attention to

type; and that was shown at the cere-

"Now John" she said the day before,

blushing bride is my pet aversion. But
I'm afraid to trust myself. I don't scare

THE Louisville Courier-Jo Journal urges
American farmers to grow an increased
acreage of wheat next year as finish
ing blow to competition with American
wheat in European markets. It argues
that the immense crops in this country
and Europe the present year, and the
resulting low prices, will make it i'm
possible for the English, French and
Russian farmers to compete in the
market with our cheap product. Thus
American grain will make conquest
of the European market. It is fact
that our farmers have an unwise habit
of abandoning crop simply because a
bountifal yield in one year, combined
with other circumstances, causes low
prices. It is likely to be the case, that
when the farmer is caught with his
granary empty of wheat, or corn. or any
other product, prices go up. and he

There is no finer poplar in the coun-

Kentucky. It is straight and free from
knots, and you get boards from two to
four feet wide, without flaw. Great
quantities of it are now being used for
building and finishing lumber, and it is
being shipped all over the North. The
Georgia pine is another kind of lumber
which has lately come into use, and this
makes rich and beautiful finish.
There is a great amount of it in the
South. and it brings good prices. It is
hard as oak and takes beautiful polish.

WHAT is dude? The question seems
to be easier asked than answered. A
Montreal court has been graphing
with it, and numerous witnesses were
called from among doctors, lawyers,
merchants, actors, journalists and tail
ors, who gave so many different defni-
tons of the thing that the bench was
utterly bewildered and had to give it
up. We are left to the conclusion,
therefore, that in legal view the dude
has no determinable value-which goes
to prove that the law always recognizes

disturb a well-settled public estimate

get his British birth or lose his interest
in British politics. He owns half a
dozen newspapers in Birmingham, New

Carnegie newspapers are all strongly

IT is claimed that the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers embraces twelve
thousand members. This is statement
worth bearing in mind in case the
brotherhood should ever again think of
striking. Were twelve thousand
engineers to combine in determination
not to run trains, it is likely that the
inland trade and travel of the country
would come to an abrupt standstill. OF
course way out of any such difficulty
would, in time, be found; but, while the
blockade lasted, the damage to business
interests would be incalculable. It is,
perhaps, fortunate that, as such brother
hoods grow in mum bers, they generally
gain in intelligence.
