4 New Street Sweeper.
(BradStreet'S,)

Consul L. J. Hale, at Manchest-
er, Eng, in report to the Secres
tary of State, describes a newly III
vented street-sweeper which is about
To be put III operation by the authori-
ties of that city, and which Mr.. Hale
thinks will create revolution In one
Of the chief departments of the sani-
tation of great cities. It not only
sweeps the pavement, but gathers up
the sweepings and removes them.
With the new machines two men and
two horses will be able to do the work
which now deyolves upon seven Or
eight men and two horses. The bust
est thorOughfares of great city may
be cleaned at almost any time of the
day, as the whole machine is complete
in itself and lnterferes no more with
traffic than the passing of any other
large vehicle. Mr.. Hale says the
streets of Manchester are the cleanest
In the world. They are now swept,
as are those in most American cities,
by machinery, and the sweepings are
gathered up into heaps and shoveled
into carts for removal. The cost of
this work during the year ended
March 81, 1885, was $91, 577, and $780,
191, 700 yards of pavement were swept.
The whole work is in charge of the
/ ealth department of the corporation,
and no part Of it is done by contract.
Nothing, Mr.. Hale says, which he
can recall Of American cities is COM
parable to the constant and uniform
clean 4iness of the streets Of Manchest-
er; that it to say, at all times of the
day and in al the streets, in the lanes
and alleys as well as the nobler thor

Our Girls.
Albany Evening Journal.

What shall we do with our girls 2
Any one who reads the kilograms In a
daily newspaper nowadays must Won
der what is to become of the girls.
But few days ago we read of a bright
young lady who had been a home
missionary for the Presbyterian
church, and who drowned herself af-
ter writing letter of despair, il which
she said: "There is no Godm This
young lady had home and friends
she was we'll educated, with all the
benefits of Christian training. But
she was proud-spirited, and when ad-
versity came preferred death to the
humiliation of hard work.
It is a common thing to read of the
elopement of a Young woman with her
fathers coachman, or with some one
else than a man of her station. It is
not an uncommon thing to hear that
young women have disappeared from
homes Of comfort to reappear in the
vanities and allurements of the great
cities. Perhaps the most pitiful Of
all cases are those which tell of
young women's struggles against adj
versity, and, failing to find help,
seek rest in self-destruction. One
such case was recently reported in
the New York papers. A young
woman, cast aside by an unfaithful
husband, goes out into the world to
seek living. waHders to New York
and tries to sustain herself by sewing.
she fails in this, loses her home be-
cause she cannot pay the rent of her
miserable tenement, goes to hotel,
stuffs up the c. eyices in the windows
and doors of her room, turns on the
gas, and sufocates like drowning
rat in hole.

Cleyerness of the Ant.
Contemporary Review

When we consider. the immense
number of ants IN nest, amounting
in some cases to over 500, 900, It is a
most remarkable fact that they all
know one another. If stranger,
even belonging to the same species, is
placed among them, she is at once at
tackled and driven out of the nest.
Nay more, have found that they re-
member their friends even after more
than years separation. This is not
by any sign or password, because
even if rendered intoxicated, so as to
be utterly insensible, they are still rec
ognized AS regards the mode of rec
ognitions, Mr. McCook cons ders that it
is by scent. and states that if ants are
more or less soaked In water, they are
no longer recognized by their friends
but are attacked. He mentions a
case in which an ant fell accidentally
into some water: "She remained in
the LIQUID several moments and crept
out Of It, Immediately she was seized
IN a hostile manner. first by one,
then another, then third; the two
antenn8 and one leg were thus held
a fourth ant assaulted the middle
thorax petiole. The poor little bather
was thus dragged helplessly to and
fro for long time. and was evidently
ordained to death. Presently L took
up the struggling heap. Two of the
assailants kept their hold; one finally
dropped, the other [ could not tear
loose, and SO put the pair back upon
the tree, leaving the doomed INNER
sionist to her hand fate"

Sunday Observance in New York.
Blakely Halls Letter

Sunday in New York is gradually
changing from a holy day to a holi-
day. and the repeated assertion of
travellers that the city grows r~ore
like Paris than London as time wears
on is illustrated by the looseness with
which the first day Of the week is OBJ
served. Less than two years ago it
was considered bad form ard indeed
extremely vulgar to drive on Sun
day, and Fifth avenue and Central
Park were given to a continual sue
cession of knee-sprung horses and rat
Ting buggies, driven by grocery
clerks and "sports." Now the most
exclusive Of society and church folk
look with leniency upon Sunday
drive, and shortly after O'Clock peo-
pie step out of church doors and into
the most farciful traps. and go whirl-
ing and laundering through the park
to the music of the hoofs, of thorough
bred trotters, and the whirl of the
yellow, green, red and black wheels
Of dog-carts, mail-phaetons. T-carts
and coaches. Sunday has grown in
special favor as a day of entertain
ment.

4 Merchant Prince.
Philadelphia Press.

Mr.. Clafin's death is the disappear
anca of the most prominent merchant
Of New York. For long years the
firm of Fl. B. CIafin & Co., did q
larger business than any other of the
same kind IN this country, except A.
T. Stewart & Co. It was always sup
posed To- be enormously successful.
It never failed, and the dimensions of
its business were prOdigious. It did
as much as any wholesale house in
America, if not, indeed, more, to take
his occupation away from the Jobber,
and IN this important respect, really
worked revolution in the methods OF
the commercial world. It's immense
store, or rather warehouse, on West
Broadway, has long been prominent
Landmark of New York. Persons
who know only at second hand the
reputation of a great commercial
house like that Of CIafiin never real
lied, however (Which we believe is the
facO, that their business was conduct
ed for years on very close margin
of profit-some three or faur per cent.
IN transactions amounting yearly to
as many millions of dollars.
This profit is, Of course, very great,
considered as an absolute sum; but,
considered as percentage on the
amount Of money involved, and the
great risk necessarily run, it must
seem SMALL, and gives rise to refec-
tons as to what must have been the
shrewd management that made Of so
slight a thing SO constant a quality.
The talent. or rather tie genius, which
is to be credited with the success of a
series of brilliant operations such as
this implies, is, no doubt, Of as high
an order as that which secures legis-
laton Or wins battles, but it is rarely
recognized at It's real value, Yet it is,
IN fact, the kind Of intellectual emil
nece for which we have in this coun-
try been most remarkable, and Mr..
CIahin is one Of the many men who
have largely contributed to make the
country what it is, for better or worse.
AS private citizen Mr. Clafiin cut
the small figure in the world charac-
teristic of his class. In the cant
phrase, which is nevertheless extreme,
ly expressive, he attended strictly to
business" throughout his life. The
world Of society scarcely knew him,
we imagine, except through his fam
lily influence and through the unob
trusive and business-hke ways in
which he contributed to the welfare OF
the community la which he lived.
Socially speaking, it is probable that
Plymouth church absorbed most Oh
his activities. He was an ardent sup
porter of Mr.. Beecher, and if we are
not mistaken, always the highest bid,
| der at the pew auctions of the church,
During the dark days Of the Tilton
| scandal he was one Of the mainstays
of the congregation and it's pastor,
and perhaps the only notoriety he
ever gained came from his enthusias
tic service on the famous committee
of investigation, of which Mr.. Henry
Sage was chairman. The most prom
inert fact about such lives as that just
closed is the almost infnitesimal pro.
portion which their name and fame
bear to the amount of the real influ-
ence they exert, and of the real &C
complishment which Is, on any just
computation, to be set down TO the
credit side of their account.

Discussion on Sanitary Laws to Re

The National Cattle growers AS
ISOLATION held its final sessions at the
Sherman House, Chicago, Wedaes-
day. Thomas Sturgis, Of Wyoming,
read a paper on live stock diseases,
in which he claimed that pleuro- pueu-
monia existed in the United States.
4 strict seaboard quarantine was
needed to prevent the entrance of
the disease from other countries. Mr..
Sturgis warmly recommended a large
appropriation by Congress for this
purpose and pointed out the necessity
of enforcing local quarantine for pro-
lection against domestic diseases.
Major Alvord, of Pennsylvania,
read an interesting paper on the dairy
interests of the country. 1t was his
opinion that more live stock was the
only salvation Of the farmer in view
of the impoverished condition of the
soil. The value of the animal dairy
products of America equaled the val
ue of all the dairy, COWS, which was
estimated at $500, 000 600. The an
nuaI crop of butter was worth more
than the hog crop, and that was true
of milk when compared with the oat
yield. Farmers were keeping too
many inferior mich COWS. The speak
er thought that agricuiiurists could
double their annual product with
half the number Of COWS if they turn
ed their attention to standard bred
animals. Regarding the manufacture
and sale Of bogus butter, Major AL
word was of the opinion that the good
old COW could hold her own against
butterine and oleomargarine She
was also obliYious to any Armourous
GUS relations with the hogs of
the west Dairymen were themselves
responsible for the manufacture of
bull butter, their wares having be-
come SO villainous as to make count
erfeits and authorizations preferable,
if not palatable.

which was adopted, Chat Congress en-
act such laws as shall protect the con-
sumner from the Vaccinations Of bo-
gus butter makers.
A paper on the beef canning in

tons to secure legislation to restrict

These arc sad facts. but we read
them too often. There is but one ex-
PLANTATION for them-our girls are not
properly brought up. They are not
educated TO be self-reliant, industrious,
practical and patient. The education
at school is superficial, and at home
| it is insufficient Instead of making
them 6t for the battles of the world
IN an emergency that may come to
ally one In life'S vicissitudes, their
home education too often gives them
an entirely wrong impression of what
the future has IN store. A good,
plain, old-fashioned, grandmotherly
talk to the girls of the day would do
them more good than 8 course in
fashionable seminary Girls should
be told the truth about themselves
and about the world. They should
know something of the pitfalls
and snares that beset them.
They should know the beauty
OF true womanhood in its simplicity,
lis consistency and it's purity. The
highest ambition a girl can have is
not to shine in social circles, not to
roll IN wealth, not to be honored more
than her sister or friend, but to enjoy
pure w0manhood, to be fitted to make
a home with surroundings happy and
joyful, and yet to be prepared If ne
cessary for life's bitterest struggles.
The young woman who is best equip
ped for this world is one who has seen
something of the shadows as well as
the sunshine Of every day life, who
knows what poverty is, what work is
and what true happiness is. This ex-
perience is open to every one WHO
wishes to find it.
Give the girls life's practical les
sons-lessons that once learned are
never forgotten. Let them visit the
workshops, and let them carry hope
and comfort to poverty stricken
homes. Give them course at the
cooking school, or in the kitchen.
Let them Begin where the mother be-
gan half century ago, and we shall
have q century Of girls-strong self
reliant, hopeful, ambitious and sue
cessful In every station.
