THE SOCIAL SEASON
is at its height now and the big din
ners. receptions, etc, are too numer-
GUS to mention. The Blaine dinner Is
perhaps the most notable so far. There
is much complaint IN some quarters
that the President does not do his
share OF entertaining. People VINO de-
sire to attend the receptions which
were wont to be given in the White
House are quite disappointed. and
there is even talk of reducing the sal
airy Of the Office to $4,000, with an
additional $3.50 to be used for the
expenses of entertainments only. With
all the gaiety on hand. there is in our
midst larger number of suffering
poor this winter than ever before. The
season has been severe on this class
and unusual efforts are being made by
charitably disposed people to raise
means for their relief Among the
colored people especially there are
some distressing cases brought to light.
Pound parties are held and many 9TH
er resources brought into play to in
crease the charity funds.

Formerly, crimes of the blacklist dye
attracted attention only in the locali-
ties where they were perpetratec: now
they are proclaimed from one end OF
the land to the other and even to the
end of the earth. Nothing abnormal
escapes the vigilance of the press.
The magnetic telegraph searches every
nook and corner of the world every
day, dragging into light, not only every
crime that Is committed, but every dis.
agreeable feature of human society;
and the pictures presented to us at OR
breakfast tables by the newspapers
are calculated to make very errone-
Gus impression upon our minds. or
course the murders, robberies, burgla-
ries, thefts, defalcations and frauds
committed in our own country, to say
nothing of othors, in single day, must
seem very large in the aggregate; but
we should remember the great extent
ofour territory and the vastness of our
population, and that the telegraph
caves almost nothing of criminal
character undivulged. Trenton Times.

Some poultry keepers claim that
there is but little difference in the
amount of food consumed by fowls
during the first and second years, the
yoracious appetite of the half grown
chicken making up for the less amount
of food consumed when 1t is small. Full
grown hens eat nearly one bushel of
corn each year. When fifty cents a
bushel, two dozen eggs at twenty-five
cents or four dozen at twelve and a
