DECORATION OF MILKING STOOLS.

Mafdens Going into Ra..tures Over Their
Beauty-When a Craze Starts.
1t was little room filled with pretty
knick-knacks and novelties of all kinds in
wood There were waste and work baskets,
clock and jewel cases, toilet cases, tsstily de-
signed and executed, Iut all plain and IN
adofned, this being tie charm that made
them salable, for it is only that she may ex-
excise her taste IN fixing up and decorating
such articles with a gilt paint and bright
coloret ribbons that a woman will purchase
til N, and then, as the reporter learned
afterwards. it Is not SO much in the simple
little wooden articles themselves that the
dealers mako money as in the materials
which their purchasers require for decor

in the elevator were going into raptures
over its beauties when he entered, and lust
too lovely for anything was used at the

the delighted trio had departed, each with

man in charge as to the probable use the
young women would make OF their pur-
chaseS.

The Women and Children.

1t Is the women and children who
suffer the evils Of whisky-drinking; not
the topper who spends his money for
drink, and thinks he gets compeasa-
ton in feeling good and becoming un-
conscious or extra ugly. The women
and children have rights a. vel! a. the
TOPPER yet the advocates Of saloons
overlook the fact. Only the drinker
has rights; but there is COM
ing time when the women
and children will be respected.
The Chicago Tribune, a paper which
advocates license, puts in the follow
ing plea for women and children:
% One of the mayors daily duties is to
hear about forty individual petitions
from the wives and dependent rela-
tons of men who are confined in the
bridewell. The cases presented for
official clcmency are almost uniform
in their nature. A Woodworking man
with large family Of children. and
receiving barely wages enough to sus-
tain them, gets drunk. He abuses his
wife and children, and for protection
the wife appeals to the police. Tho
next morning the wife is compelled to
appear before justice; she IL forced
to tell her story TO the justice, and be-
fore she has finished the recital Of her
sufferings the court interferes with
one hundred dollars and costs Then
the husband is hustled off to the BRIDE
we'll to serve six-months' imprison-
ment, and the weeping and penniless
woman returns to her children. who
are crying with hunger. The husband
is not suffering; he gets his food. .
place to sleep, and nothing to do. while
the woman is obliged to labor for the
bread her children must have or starve.
The punishment falls alone upon the
woman, while the man is the real Of

Frightful Figures.

Nearly 62s, 900. 900 glasses of beer were
brewed and $4,000 gallons Of whisky
manufactured during the fiscal year end
ing June 80 last in First Internal Reve-
nue. District of Pennsylvania. These fig
ures are obtained from Collector Of In.
ternal Revenue Gerker's first annual re-
port recently forwarded to w ashington.
Colonel Gerker's district embraces
the counties of Philadelphia Dela.

parison of the present report with
those Of former years shows steady
increase in the manufacture OF malt
liquors and decrease In DISTILLED Mo-
ors, there having been more thsa no.
900 gallons Of distilled liquors nsde
during the year ending June 50, 1884.
There were l,395,079 barrels Of beer
and other fermented liquors brewcd in
the district during the period named
for which the Government received in
taxes 81, $50, 1896. Averaging $50
glasses to barrel the grand total
reaches 627, 785, $50, or so glasses for
every man, woman and child in the
eight counties named. The people
who drank this had to pay e3l. $50. :
H750 for the pleasure. This Is nearly
three times as much money as was
paid in taxes by the people Of Phi'adel-
phia during the year 1885. Saloon
keepers calculate upon getting IS
drinks out of gallon of. whisky Ac-
cording to Colonel Gerker's returns
there was enough liquor distilled to
supply 22,O3S, 705 drinks, which, ct 10
cents each, represent an expenditure

Why Hard Times.

The only benefit that labor can de-
rive from the consumption of any arti-
Gle is the value of the labor in produce
ing it. Whisky is sold to-day at an av-
erage Of six dollars per gallon. and
out of that sum labor gets the value Of
the labor expended in producing the
gallon of whisky. The market value
Of the whisky, less the tax which repre-
sents no labor, is seventeen cents. 10
that every time gallon of whisky ii
purchased labor can get in return but
seventeen cents If it gets the full valne
Of the whisky, which it does not, for
capital claims its share.
A bolt of cotton cloth valued ct six
dollars contributed to labor in produce
ing it four dollars. so that whenever
six dollars is diverted from the pur.
chase Of whisky labor loses the differ
ence between seventeen cents and four
dollars.
This loss to labor amounts annually
to the wages of more than $50. 900
men at the present wages.-XVItA
