You can't always tell the age of girl

A Meadville girl, who has fallen in
love with journalist, refers to him as

The young women, taking pattern af-
ter the masculine gender, have begun
writing to the Superintendent of Castle
Garden asking for husbands.
A young woman has been found in
New York who can sing baritone, tenor,

horror, it is announced that she will
soon appear in public.
At suburban wedding where the
bride was dilatory ia arriving at the
church, lady remarked: "Well, the

has been waiting twenty-six years for
such chance as this"
The Japanese girl, when she goes into
company, paints her face white, her lips
and the corners of her eyes red, with two
slate colOred spots on her forehead. She
would be thought lmmOdest if she did
not do so, as being so cOnceited as to
think her complexion did not need i'm
prOyement.
Picturesque bridesmaids are great adj
ditiOns to weddings in England. At one
wedding eight bridesmaids were attired
In cream lace frOcks, with dark red straw
hats trimmed with red velvet feathers,
red silk stockings and red kid shoes. Six
bridesmaids at another wedding wore
dresses of cream lace and satin, with
gold bonnets, and carried bouquets of
yellow flowers and brown leaves.

A Minnesota Hen.

He came in the Office and said he liked
the paper and wanted to help it. He
was granger living about seventeen
miles out on the Manitoba road. "It's
one of my hens / want to tell you about"
he said. 'It's her intelligence. She
knows more than horse. That hen is
really religious, and / can prove it, and
l can tell you how. She is a plain, or
binary. everyday dominick hen, and very
regular in her habits, but few weeks
ago she stopped laying. My wife was a
good deal troubled about it, thought
maybe that the dOminick wasn't well, or
something of that sort, but it turned out
it wasn't anything of the kind. We'd
been talking good deal about a Baptist
preacher who was going to make as a
visit, and suppose the hen heard us.
Well, the preacher came. and that after
noon my wife heard great cackling in
in the barn, and went out. What d'yOu
suppose she found? Why, that hen had
just laid dozen eggsl She'd been hold
ing back, you see, so that the eggs would
all be fresh. She only does this, though
for that one preacher. She's a Baptist
herself, and it is only when the Baptist
preacher comes that she's so thoughtful
It's the curiOusest thing that ever saw.
And then the granger went away. He
looked like truthful man, but what he
related hardly seemed possible. Both
Huxley and Tennyson agree that the

seems to he in favor of making the collection
of statistical and other information in regard
to the interests of the laborng classes of the
country au additional duty of the bureau of
statistics in tho treasury department.; but that
bureau has already on its hands a work Of
great agnitude-nameiy, the duty of fur
nishing to congress aud the country informa-
ton in regard to the internal commerce and
the foreign commerce Of tho United States,
including the great subject OF duties on i'm
ports, which lies at tho base of all our tariff
legislation.
The bureau Of statistics is in fact bureau
of commerce, aud should DO so designated.
The laborng classes have the same right TO
have their interests looked after by tho gov
ernmont as the commercial classos In fact,
their claim upon tho assistance of the COVER
mont is stronger, because IL is an easy matter
for those who employ labor to obtain inrorma-
tion relating to the particular business in
which they arc engaged. Trade newspapers
nre published which give prico lists and all
the other data on which commercial calcutta
tions arc based.
The working people have no such facilities
for gathering needed information touching
their interests, aud unless the work is done
by the government It will not be done at all.
As to the constitutional power of the govern
ment to perform this work for the people
there can be no doubt. In all the discussions
upon the subject the question of constitu-
tionality has not been raised.
When the Hopkins bill was under consld-
Grafton in the house of representatives last

In the discussions concerning the powers Of the

been any question raised with respect to the power

doubted function of the general government
The government ought, think to collect

have been introduced in both houses proyid-

the only material difference in the views OF

Gounods grand opera of "Faust" as pro-
scented by the Abbott company at the Ma
tiOnal last evening was most creditable
rendition of this exceedingly exacting COM
position. Miss Abbott sang and acted tho
role of Marguerite with more than her usual
forvor and brilliancy and in the jewel song,
which was encored to tho echo, and the final
trio of the last act won new honors even
from Washington audience.
Mrs. Seguin as Seibel was beyond criticism,
aud in the famous flower song at tho opening of
the third act she won the most enthusiastic
encore Of tho evening. The Faust of Sig
Fabrini was not up to the usual high stand
ard of this conscientious artist, and hC

of being in bad voice. In the
duet in the third act however

that they were unIounded, the case would be
very different, but the withdrawal neither in

excuse that the charges having been withdrawn

THE practice of adulteration has COMO to
such lengths that it is not easy to buy any
article of food that has COMO through some
stage of preparation without au uncomfort-
able feeling that goodly proportion of dele
torious substance is being paid for. An anal
ysis of mustard, just made by an expert in
New York, failed to show single pure
specimen among the numerous samples
examined. In one instance an abso-
Lutte poison was used to give tho
spurious preparation o good color. What is
merely serves to give an idea of the extent to
which more important and costly food sub
stances are adulteratod. 1t is an evil that is
hard to combat, for tho experience Of Europe
shows that rigid inspection is often met by
the subtle resources of chemical science so
skillfully as to almost defy discovery. Many
cannot be said to DO specially
hurtful to health, but the case cited above
serves to show that for the sake of gain there
are INSCRIPTIONS men who do not hesitate to
imperil life in the vile mixtures they put
forth. However slowly legislative bodies
may move in devising means Of meeting the
growing evil of adulteration in all its ramifi.
cations there is no question that there is a
real need of general legislation that will al
least make the use of poisonous elements toe
risky to be INDUCED in.
