Mrs. a. NJ. Dauphin, Quaker lady, of
Philadelphia, has done great deal to make
known to ladies there the great value of
Mrs. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as a
cure for their troubles and diseases. She
writes as follows; A young lady OF this
city while bathing some years ago was
thrown violently against the life line and
the injuries received resulted in an ovarian
tumor, which grew and enlarged until
death seemed certain. Her physician finally
advised her to try Mrs. Finkham's Com
pound. She did so, and in short time the
tumor was dissolved or caused to slough
Oft, and she is now in perfect health. l

cine has been of great value in preventing

The Mormon delegation have asked the
President to appoint Commission to in
vestigate the Utah situation, and in the
meantime to suspend the prosecutions
against the plural-wife criminals-or, as
they phrase it, to discontinue this merci-
less crusade" This is precisely what the
cornered rascal always wants-time. There
is already very competent Commission
investigating the Utah situation. 1t con-
sists of the United States Judges, the
United States Marshal, a vigorous United
States Attorney and that plucky, able and
untiring detective agency known as the
Salt Lake Tribune The Mormon delega-
ton hinged its protest and appeal upon the
statement that the laws in Utah are not
impartially administered that while po-
lygamists are prosecuted adulterers are set
free, and the offenses of other persons
guilty of unlawful cohabitation are ignored.
If this be true, it in no wise irstifes leni-
ency toward those who mask lust with the
cloak of religion. The Mormons clamor
for impartial administration of the law
1t is precisely what they do not want. The
proper tribunal has decided that the Ed
munds law does not apply to cases of adult
cry outside Of the class who claim the adult
erous condition to be a religious require,
ment and a creed necessity. The laws are,
or can be made, ample in the Territory
against the usual carnal crimes, but the
Edmunds law is designed to reach the men
who prior to its passage took refuge behind
the priest and the altar.

IT is a matter of pleasure TO record po-
litical journals as the opponents of bossism
The San Francisco Alta, Democratic
journal, has the courage to say:
We know of nothing worse for the country
than bOssism in politics. The tendency of the
system IS degrading to the suffrage, and corrupt
ing to the public service We do not mean the
have following and keep it by the division of
small patronage. If every citizen would per
form the duty he owes to society, such things
would be impossible, therefore no complaint
should be made by those who take no part in
public affairs. If the local manipulation makes
himself popular with the bosses of the clubs
VINO can blame him? II he makes himself
leader o; the masses who can blame him? If
he resorts to criminal devices and is not pun
lShcd, the very men who make the greatest
complaints are in general way most to blame
If good men viii not uphold the laws, the law
less will hardly be expected TO do so.
To be sure, the 4hG further on draws
distinction between bad and good boss
ism and somewhat weakens the effect of its
Introductory words. lis special grievance is
against the bosses who are striving to have
Democratic committees denounce certain
conservative Democrats, among whom the
1ta editor is numbered. But it is a good
deal gained when partisan journal, such
as the -Alo, sees clearly enough to realize
that nothing is worse for the country
than bossism in politics"

For family pride was plentiful and family
gold galore:
Like Babels tower her tenements went climb
ing to the sky,
Like cattle herds her tenants tramped by
hundreds far and nigh
The good God made the air so cheap, but man
hath made it dear;
Though Heaven be so broad and bright, still
human homes are drear;
And those who do the hardest toll must know
the shortest rest,
And those who bear the heaviest cross be oft
the scanttest bIest.
Miss, sophronisca Singleton her whitening

Upon the torn and blisteFed notes her tenants
paid for rent;
Upon them shone the stains of tears that
hcavy eyes had shed;
They must be changed for shining gold-for
shining gold instead.
In summers heat, in winters cold, when
death or sorrow calls,
Miss Sophr0nisca Singleton ne'er walks those
narrow halls.
The law may thrust a family out, like Migrants
on the street,
She never hears the low, sad means, or feels
their poor hearts beat.
Two hundred homes are chill and dark to give
hers warmth and light,
Two hundred homes are wrapped in gloom to
make hers gay and bright.
o sophrontsca Singleton! o lady, proud and
fair!

brilliants that you wear

The Bensa1i Legend of the Discovery of
the Sleep-Producing Drug.

The Benga1i Legend of the Discovery of
the Sleep-Producing Drug.
According to the Bengali legend,
there once lived on the banks of the
holy River Ganga a Rishi, or sage, in
whose hut, made of palm leaves, there
was mouse which became favorite
with the seer, and was endowed by him
with the gift of speech. After awhile
the mouse, having been frightened by a
cat, at its earnest solicitations was
changed by Rishi into a cat; then,
alarmed by dogs into q dog; then into
an ape; then into a bear; then into an
elephant, and finally, being still dis.
contented with its lot, into beautiful
maiden, to whom the sage gave the
name of .sPostomani," or the ''poppy-
seed lady" One day. while tending
her plants, the King approached the
Rishi's cottage, and was invited to rest
and refresh himself by Postomani, who
offered him some delicious fruit. The
King, however, Struck by the girls
beauty, refused to eat until she had
told him Of her parentage. Postomani,
to deceive the King, told him she was a
Princess whom the Rishi had found in
the woods and had brought up. The
upshot was that the King made love to
the girl, and they were married by the
holy sage. She was treated as the
favorite Queen, and was very happy;
but one day while standing by web
she turned giddy, fell into the water,
and died. The Rishi then appeared be-
fore the King and begged him not to
give way to consuming grief, assuring
him that the late Queen was not of roy
al blood. Said he: 'aShe was mouse,
and, according to her own wish, I
changed her successfully into cat.

lovely girl Let her body remain in the
well; fill up the well with earth. Out
of her flesh and bones will grow tree.
which shall be called after her, .Posto;'
that is, the 'poppy-tree.' From this
tree will be obtained q drug called
opium, which will be either swallowed
or smoked till the end of time. The
opium swallower or smoker will have
one quality of each of the animals to
which Postomani was transformed. He
will be mischievous, like mouse; fond

HER CURIOSITY.
How an Editors Wife Got Him
Into Serious Trouble.
A Bouncer that Interfered with the Per-
sonaI Liberty of Tramp, and Caused
the Unceremonious Departure
of Female Friend.

Ever since my husband accepted the
position of editor of the Irvington
Boomerang he has behaved in manner
calculated to strain the holy bonds OF
wedlock to the point of swapping like
an old shoe-string. He has immured
himself in tic recesses of the wood-shed
and defied all my endeayors to ascer-
tain his occupation. All my playful,
purring ways and coaxing powers were
in vain. I fondled him with the broom
handle and exc the rolling pin, but he
refused to diVulge the secret. Finally I
threatened to discharge the hired girl
and do my own cooking, and he caved.
He promised that in one week he would
admit me 70 the caucus, as he called it,
and show me what it was that tore him
from the wife of his bosom and divided
his affections. Meanwhile he kept going
in and out, carefully locking the door
each tune until but one day of my long
waiting remained

HOSIERY.
Hose for the Coming Season Must Match
the Dresses Worn.

| Hose for the Coming Season Must Match
the Dresses Worn.
Early importations indicate that hose
for the coming season must match the
dresses with which they are worn;
therefore the fashionable colors are
fashionable only when they correspond
with the other colors in the costume.
Where there are combinations, as of
| beige and brown, ecru and blue, red
and black in the costume, it is consid-
cred the best taste to select the vertical
| striped hose with alternate stripes of
the same colors, matching them exactly
If possible. II this can not be done,
select single color, the one most
prominent in the costume preferred.
Black slippers and black hose with
white or colored dresses are not in ac-
cord with fashions DEGREES, unless the
dress is trimmed in black. For the
street, black stockings may be toler-
ated, because of being less conspicuous,
but for evening or mouse wear hose
should either match the dress or it's
trimmings.
The leading shades in lighter colors
are beige, gray browns, light ''old
china" blue, myrtle, sage, dull red,
pink and salmon shades. In the regu-
lar lines there are the usual cardinals,
blues, myrtles and browns. Roman or
Madras stripes will be worn, but the
strictly fashionable style is plain goods
20 match the dresses.
Black hose will be, as usual, very
popular. Every lady is supposed to own
one black dress or more, and fashion
DEGREES that If she does not, she should
remedy the omission as soon as pos
sibIe; therefore there is and will be a
great demand for black hose The new
anchor dye" warranted fast black,
will prove a boon to ladies who have
been seriously annoyed by the discolor-
alton of feet and clothing from the col
or coming off from their black stock
ings. For those who have plenty of
black hose, or who do not get this new
dye, there are fine thin cotton or Isle
thread hose made expressly for sum-
mer wear under the regular black hose.
They keep the dlscoloration from the
feet and are soft and easy to walk in
besides.
Ladies who take long country walks
will appreciate variety of stockings
imported last year under the name OF
bathing hose" They are very soft
and loosely woven, but quite thick, and
keep the feet from being chafed by the
strong boots necessary for such pedes-
train tours. The ''half trunk" hose
with the wide gore set in from the knee
up, are rapidly growing in favor, and
for stout ladies they are especially de-
sirable, as the extra width does away
with the annoying construction of the
flesh when the hose are tight above the
knees
The ''wash Lisle'' hose are the spe.
cial novelty of the spring importations.
They are soft finished. very fine silky
Isle thread goods, much more like
spun silk in feeling than like Isle
thread, and are specially designed for
those ladies whose delicate feet find the
thread goods too harsh and irritating
if they take long walks.-Demorest's
