The Education OF Girls.
Popular Science Monthly.

-L7------ '1N-1-Illl l-7l-tI-IIJs
The first mistake in the education Of
girls, and fraught with the saddest re-
suits, is made when they are allowed TO
leave childhood too soon. To keep them
little girls as long as possible, and make
them, first of all, what George MscDOn-
aid calls blessed little animals is the
first step in the right direction. The
second mistake is permitting growing
girls to sit in the house and study when
their transparent cheeks tell Of an
nemia and lowered vitality. The third
mistake in making schOol-life Of girls f.
nal, when it ought to be a simple prepar-
alton for the intellectual life Of the adult
woman. A fourth mistake Is with hold
ing q knowledge Of the laws to which
woman is subject in her mental and
physical life, her place in nature and
the potential character Of her mental
status and habits.

Lewiston LhLe.3 JOuInaI.
A Maine merchant who always had
the reputation of being close-fsted failed
and offered to settle for 90 cents on a dol
lar. His creditors sent a man to repre-
sent them all and make arrangements
with him. This happened forty years
ago, when what is now city was a VIII
lage with two narrow pIanks for side
walks. The creditor noticed that the
failed merchant. instead of taking the
planks, walked by his side on the grass.
"What are you walking down ia the
grass, there, fOr?" he asked. ooh, Pm
too poor to walk on the side walk" said
his debtors in the humble tone of Uriah
Heep. "WelI," responded the creditor,
IF you are as economical as that, I guess
you viii be able to pay us in full, one of
these days, and we won't settle for so
cents on a dOllar.p

And Various Items Concerning Them
The Center correspondent to the
Hutchinson Herald writes: Last Tuesday
night the citizens of Center met at the
Congregational church and had a Jolly
good time eating oysters and other good
things such as our ladies can get up.
We expected a good crowd and had
made arrangements for those that liked
oysters and those that did not, but as It
was not q good night for those at a dis
tsnce there was not many out. We sold
foFty-eight supper tickets and gave the
children under twelve their supper free.

A complaint from w. E. Carey & Co,
Of Edgerton, against the Southern Kan
sas railroad, for losing turpentine and
carbolic acid, which was destroyed in
transit from Kansas City, has been
decided by the Board of Commission
ers. The company audited complain
ants claim for the turpentine, and paid
them thirty-eight cents per gallon for it.
The carbOlic acid was shipped at owners
risk. 1t is rule with all lines that they
only carry this sort of commodity at own
er's risk, because it is liable to explod
at any time, and damage goods to man
times the valuB of a carbOy of acid,
which damage the railroad company
would be liable for. The Board
decided, from the evidence which
it could get, that the company was not
guilty of carelessness in the handling Of
the carbOy of sulphuric acid.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 10, 'S5.
Representative Willis, of Kentucky,
says the whisky men will not attempt
this session to get any legislation in
their interests through Congress.
a bill, introduced to-day by Senator
VOORHEES,, to refund internal revenue
taxes in certain cases, authorizes the
Secretary of the Treasury to refund to
the persons thereto entitled such
amounts as shall be shown to the salts
faction of the commissioner of internal
revenue to have been paid prior to July
LIST, 1869, as internal revenue taxes on
spirits distilled prior to July 10th, 1868,
in excess of the tax paid on the quantity
actually withdrawn.
Mr.. Edmunds introduced in the SEN
ate to-day bill granting pension to
Mrs. Julia ID. Grant, and another bill
granting her the franking privileges.
Mr.. Edmunds said the bills were pre-
ciscly in the form adopted in similar
cases heretofore.
Representative James, of New York,
has prepared bill which he will intro
duce in the House upon the call of
States, fixing the date of the death of
the officers and crew who perished on
the Arctic steamer Jeanette. The bill
fixes the date of death on the day the
bodies were discovered, the 23rd of
March, 1882, and provides that the ac-
counting officers of the Treasury shall
compute their arrears OF pay up to that
date for the benefit of their heirs.
In the Senate yestel day Mr.. Hoar in
troduced a bill to repeal sections 1867,
l76s, 1859, ITO, l77l and l772 of the

prescribing what's known as the tenure

PROHIBITION.

The Chicago Tribune gives an entire
page tn the results Of an investigation
made by the Hon. T. ". Sutton. a State
Senator Of Iowa, into the working OF the
prohibitory liquor law in that State.
The inquiry has been very thorough,
impartial and intelligent. 1t establishes
the fact that the total number of open
saloons is slightly greater than before
the law went into operation, being 1887
in place of 1916 whilc there are I20
places in which liquor is sold ION the
sly Mr.. Sutton, who is II strong anti
liquor man, concludes that prohibition
has done great good in places where
public sentiment Sustains it, and great
evil whcreit does not. In his own city,
for instance, MarShalltown, place of
l0.0)) inhabitants, it is worse than a
failure, for il is impossible to enforce it.

MoRRIsoN's VICTORY.

The unexpected majority Of Mr. Nor
rison in carrying through his new code
Of rules fur the House of Representa-
tiycs, says the y. Y. Sun, changes pro-
founlly thr relations of the Illinois
statesmauto the House ard the couutry.
He must hcnrrforth be regarded as the
feadGr Of the Democracy imtAat division
Of Congress- and for whatever wise
measures may br cNsctcd he will enjoy
lis full share of glory, and for whatever
mistakes may be- committed peculiar
rcspousibility WIFI rest upon him.
The pogrt of first Importance to the
new regime is that there shall not be
any great or unnecessary increase of the
public expenditures for any Of the ordi-
nary subjects of legislation. Of course.
If, undcr the lead of Mr.. Morrison, the
House should determine to adopt the
prudent and patriotic proposition Of
Mr.. Tilder's recent letter upon fortify-
ing our scaports, a great outlay will be
necessary for that purpose; but this
ought not to excite any blame against
the new Democratic leader. The pro-
posed works of defence are difficult and
Indispensable, and they cannot be other
than costly; and if they are wisely
planned and largely and encrGetically
conducted, only praise should be be-
slowed upon the Congress under whose
auspices such an enterprise is initiated
and carried through. The people will
not balk at any expense, however seri-
Gus it may be, that will promote the
safety and the power of the nation.
For the ordinary subjects of appropri-
stiou a different rule will be insisted
upon. We know that il the guardian.

striCtest economy and the most mcrci

local weekly, with the wonderful pro-
gress in provincial journalism, meets
every want that the daily newspaper fails
to supply. The metropolitan weekly Of

he was appointed, unless sooner removed

confirmation of a successor The other
sections prescribe that during recess the
President is authorized TO suspend
civil officers except United States Judges
and to designate some suitable person
TO perform the duties of the suspended
official; that within thirty days after the
meeting of the Senate the President
must send in the names of all recess ap-

Mr.. Randall claims majority of the
Democrats in the House on his side in
the fight over the rules, and says that
he can be beaten only by the Republican
vote. Tic expresses perfect confidence
of being able to beat the Morrison rcso-
luton.
In the Senate this afternoon the com
mittce's amendment to strike out the
joint rule forbidding the sale of intoxi-
cants was rejected by vote of 3G to 30,
and the rule was retained.
Time was that the Senate was full of
soakcrs and tipplers. 1t is not so now.
II we are TO believe what Senators say
it has become brotherhood of veritable
Jonadabs. But after all the country is
not so much interested in what or how
much Senators drink, as in what or how
much they do. According to well au.
thenticated history there were some tol.
erably smart men in the bibulous Sen
atcs Of by-gone days, whom the people
are proud to honor and remember for
the services they rendered. 1t will be
so generations hence. The Senators of
to-day will occupy the highest place in
their country's remembrance, who have
best wrought for their country's great
ness. Still, although sobriety is not all
of craftsmanship, it is good thing for
even the best of statesmen to keeT
sober.
Senator Logan has no intention what
ever of declaring war against the Ad-
ministration. lie says he shall only op.
pose the confirmation Of such men as
he would oppose if nominated by Re.
publican President. His position in thi;
respect is much more reasonable and
fair than that of many Mugwump Dem
ocrats.
