PROTECTING Young GIRLS,

The foolish, not to say wicked, ineffici-
ences of existing laws for the protection
of girls is pointedly shown in the follow
ing paragraphs from Brooklyn paper.
The same defective law disgraces the
statute book of Illinois and that Of q
number of other states, and it is to be
hoped that the wakened intelligence of
Christian people will speedily insist up
Ga revision:
There is occasion, and most urgent &C.
casion, for q change in the law of this
state in regard to the so called "age OF
consent" The law of New York pro-
tects children in their property until
they are old enough to know it's value.
The law will not permit girl of sixteen
to barter, sell, or transfers plot of ground
or any other real property, lest she might
be swindled through her ignorance of
the market value Of property. But the
law, in this state, assumes that ct lid of
ten years is old enough to know the
value of the priceless treasure of chastity.
and permits her at that tender age to de-
grade and aefour herself and blast the
prospects of her life at the instigation of
mature seducers. 1t is infamous. 1t is
an affront to common sense that this
law should be allowed to remain un-
amended a single day longer than is
necessary.

ALosr OPPORfuN

A youth he came upon naid
Within shady arb0r,
A-reading of learned book
One summer at Bar Harbol.
TIE fog was slowly drifting down.
She wore fine aesthetic gown
"Oh, viii you walk with met" he said,
The youth 20 brave and ccmely.
"'Twouid be less hard" the maiden sighed,
SIf he were only homely;
But surely this lovely gown
should ruin, walking through the town..
The youth he sought another maid
Within another arbor.
She smiled on b m - maidens viii
In summer at Bar HarbOr.
She wore Q gown of hon espun rough.
She said she could no: walk enough.
They tarried till the sur went down.
The youth he wexed romantic.
The other maiden sighed and sighed
Above the book pedantic.
The moon came ont and like ghost
With pale liIs told Of chances lost
She went back to the proey town.:
No ring upon her finger.
She heard e thrill OF wedding bells
Upon the sad air Inner.
Alas" she cried, with bit rness
Ia wrou yht by TOO aesthetic dress.'
Oh, all ye fair aspiring maids
Who tlrry At Bar HarbOr,
And bide the sly approach ofFate
Within shady arbor,
Take warning Of my dolefdl rhyme,
And be, pray yous wise In time

A Coffee Dronkard,
Philadelphia Press.

"What bright-eyed man." said re-
porter, who leaned gainst the cashiers
desk of q restaurant near the public
buildings, one day last week. The man
in question had just paid q ten-cent check
and clipped on. of the door with jerky
movement and swinging of the cane
he carried which decidedly endangered
the peoples peace.
"Bright-eyed? Yes" said the cashier,
"he's q coffee drunkard?"
"A man who comes in here four times
in two hours, as that man has this morn
ing and does every morning and takes q
half pint of coffee every time, is q coffee
drunkard. Bright eyes. Well, I should
say 30. That mans condition all the
time is the same a. that of q man who is
getting over q big batter l mean his
nerves are up in 'G', his muscles are all
q culver and his mental vision il abnor-
mally clear. He Is living at q 2:0si rate"
why does he do it?"
HAS to. Must have q brace. Used to
drink rum. Had to quit that, and now
does worse. He never sleeps, he tells
me-"
"Do you know many such?"
"At least half . dozen"

THAT'S what was . comm TO when
YOU put in your chin music. When Len
found the family was forninst the court

That Was found out, and then it was de-
creed that Len should be sent to YOurope.
The evenin' upon Lens departure he

about the poor chap was that he took to

CONCERNING HEN FRUIT.

The consumption of eggs in the eastern
states is so large that the home product
does not begin to answer the call upon
poultry yards. An examination of the
United States consular reports, giving
the declared exports Of various articles
from various places, disclose the fact
that in 1884 the value of eggs sent to this
country aggregate Sl,l97, 399.67. The
Province of Ontario contributed 1851 ,O9l.
q, and Nova Scotia, S3,6O6 Is. 1t will
De news to many people to learn that
besides these imports we got from Dem
mark an egg supply worth 1888 729 20.
and from Germany dozens of DOZENS"
enough to make bill of $l9J ,4O3.93.

PREPARING SHEEP FOR MARKET.


In preparing sheep for market, saws
an English journal, the object should be
to have them look to the very best ad.
vantage, and any extra work incurred
in this not only pays but affords an op-
portunity for displaying skill and taste
in sheep management. The more equal
in size, type, color and age lot of sheep
are the better they will sell. OF course
the sheep cannot be remade-the aim is
to make the most of them. In the case
of fat sheep the best of the lot are fire.
quently picked out week by week, aud
sold as they are ready. But take the
case Of q large lot to be cleared out at
once. Having brought the sheep to-
gethef into a large pen or yard, COM
mence by catching out the worst ones.
It can then be seen if what remains are
st to go or not If they still appear un-
equal it is often better 10 divide them
again, making q top lot, second, and q
third. There are buyers for all the
classes, so that each lot will sell for what
it is worth, and the average price OBJ
tanned in this way will generally be bet
ter than if the whole had been cold in
one lot. After the lots are arranged, ANY
superiuous wool on the head or legs Is
cut Off to give the sheep q more uniform
character. Formerly ewes and wethers
were sent to the market with the wool
in its natural state of growth. but now
almost all of them are trimmed or
dressed with the shears the same as
show sheep. The wool on their backs is
cut level, and their sides are nicely
rounded, so as to give them trim ap-
pearance. This does not, of course, ben
EFT sheep that are to be kept on for
further feeding or for breeding purposes.
