TRIANGULAR MIRRORS.

A Charming Device for Ladies Who Are
Anxious to See Their Back Hair.
Women, as everybody knows, are
the hardest people in the world to
please" said wan, pale-faced clerk
in large jewelry establishment the
other day, just after wrestling for an
hour and half with fat girl in a
red hood, who had bought onlya silver
bangle bracelet for dollar. The pale
faced clerk sighed and then continued
in dull and listless sort of way:
"But / think we've got something
now that even the prettiest and mean
est female in the world can't complain
about. You know (or mebbe you
don't know, you don't look as though
you were married-say, I've been mar
ried two years., every woman would
rather see the back of her head just
after she has put up her hair than any.
thing else on earth. Well, they've
been straining their necks and using
hand glasses in front of their mirrors
for a long time, and the result has not
been particularly satisfactory. 1t has
at length occurred to somebody to in
vent something to remedy this. There
is three-sided glass. It's rather ex.
pensive, you see. French plate glass,
with ivory backs. The sides are
movable and adjustable. A woman
can arrange that thing SO that she can
sit in front of it and see her back hair
without turning her head. The ad.
vantage is simply beyond calculation.
She can catch her dressing maid in

THE SILVER QUESTION.

Slight Prospect for Anti-Silrer Legislation
THE Republican Congressman and Their
Attitude Toward the Administration.
WASHINGTON, d. c., January g.
Western members of Congress who have
returned to Washington from their holi.
day vacation say the prospect is poor foI
any anti-silver legislationin the House this
session. Many of them, having inter.
viewed their constituents while at home,
come back more determined than ever to
resist any interference with the "Dollar
of the Daddies." Anti-silver members,
who fear the result of continued coinage,
say the only way to do is to wait until
the expectation of gold begins in earnest
and let the House learn by bitter
experience. The question bids fair to
lead very soon to an interesting discus
sion, to say the least, in the House, and
one that will engender bad feeling be-
tween the President and some Demo-
cratic members. The Republicans in the
House, as rule, are very well disposed
toward President Cleveland, and are in
favor Of giving him fair show They
will, to great extent, it is said by some
who are in position to speak for the
party, favor liberal appropriations, par.
ticularly for the navy and for coast de-
fenses. They are in favor of giving
Secretary Whitney all the money he
needs to carry out his plans for building
up the navy, and they say they will not
use the argument that was advanced
against them when in power, that the
navy ought to be built, 'sBut the present
party can not be trusted to do it," They
win favor just as liberal appropriations
for these purposes under Whitney as they
advocated and could not get under

EXCESS or WOMEN.
The Anxious and Aimless Population d
Great Britain.

Great Britain.
Are you aware, my dear, Of the ap-
palling fact that there are 948,0O0 more
women than men in Great Britain? At
least, there was this rery awful disparity
of numbers at the last census, and /
don't suppose that the disproportion has
decreased since then. In fact, it seems
that it is likely to became greater and
greater, for more girls are born than
bows. and men do not, as rule, live 50
long as women.
This immense fact means, perhaps,
verv little to married women, unless
they are mothers of large and expen-
sive family of daughters; but to the un-
appropriated among us, it is fraught
with the direst meaning. We are all
taught from our nursery days upward to
look forward to the time when we shall
be married "and live happy ever after"
Do not all the nursery sto-
ries and fairy tales end with
wedding bells? And / suppose that
it is natural for a woman to ike to have
y lOtl6 "a uCt OWu, sAAO q AuobdAU nuA
children. There are women who would
despise us for making such a con-
fession; but do you not think with me
that an unshared life seems incomplete?
Well, dear, in the face of all this
are those dreadful six figures, the TO
male overplus of 948,000.
It is therefore quite apparent that sew
eral hundred thousands of us must re-
main single, and we may as well look
the matter straight in the face, and,
while we hope for the best. prepare for
the worst. Marriage to the great ma
iority of women means provision.
Failing in this, they must provide for
themselves. So, every girl should be
brought up to some occupation that
would bring her in sufficient for her
maintenance. Fathers ought to see that
their daughters are as carefully trained
with view to self-support as their sons
are.-London Truth.

FOR THE BLIND.

The Mission of DR.. Campbell, Blind Him.
self in Behalf of His Fellow Unfortunates.
WASHINGTON, D. c., January g.
Among the Presidents late visitors
was DR.. F. j. Campbell, of the Royal
Normal College and Academy of Music
for the Blind, Upper Norwood, S. E.,
England. DR.. Campbell arrived in Amer
ica week ago, his mission being
to investigate and collect information
concerning the treatment of the blind
in this country. The Doctor, who is
an American citizen, and owns property
in this country, is also desirous of bring
ing about the establishment of an
American National College for the better
education of the blind. At the college
over which he presides physical exercise
is looked upon as essential. An effort is
made to arouse the blind pupils from their
willingness to depend upon others, and
in pursuance of this object
they are drilled in gymnastic exercise and
taught to swim and skate. The ice pond
at the college is circular in shape, with q
small islet in the center profusely set
with trees and shrubbery. This islet
gives an echo by which the boy knows
how far he is from the bank. The boys
all skate in one direction, turning and
skating in the opposite direction at the
ringing of bell. The doctor, who is
totally blind, is a good example Of this
system of physical exercise. He has
climbed the Alps on frequent occasions,
and at one time ascended to the summit
on Mount Blanc. He is also constant
tricycle. rider, and has brought his
machine across the water with him.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, January 5.-An elegant

icer Sheehan yesterday afternoon to en-
ter hurriedly Moy Sings laundry at l49
Desplaines street. When the officer en-
tered the place little later, he found her
in back room. The proprietor stoutly
denied that she came there to smoke
opium, as did the girl herself. Both
claimed that she came merely to inquire

Street Court. The girl was overcome
with the disgrace of her surroundings,
and tried to hide her face from the eyes
Of the curious who looked with wonder
ment upon the spectacle Of beautiful
young woman entering police court in
the company of Chinaman. Her age
could not have been more than eighteen
years, and she was richly attired, but
without any attempt at fashiness. Her
whole bearing indicated refined associa-
ton and tender rearing. She gave
her name as Mary Heinemann, but
afterward admitted that this was
incorrect. She refused utterly to disclose
her identity. At first she held to the story
told the officer, that she went to Moy
Sings place to make inquiry regarding
prices of work. The Court questioned
her closely, but gently, and finally drew
out the humiliating confession.
"How does it come" said the Court,
that a young lady of good social stand
ing is found in search of such degrading
ndulgences?"
With flushed face and painfully en-
barrassed manner, she answered slowly:
ga young gentleman of my acquaint-
ance induced me to smoke some opium
short time ago. He got the pipe and the
drug and showed me how. The desire to
smoke again led me to come over here"
"The wretch who could be guilty of
such monstrous crime ought not to
live," angrily exclaimed the Court.
Further questioning led the young lady
to say that she lived on the North Side,
and that her parents were wealthy. When
first asked, she said she was the daughter
of police officer. With tears in heI
eyes, she promised that if the Judge
would allow her to go she would
never again indulge in the habit
or be seen in questionable surroundings.
Her evident sincerity moved the Court,
after fatherly admonition to remain in
the society of her home and friends, and
conduct herself as a lady should, to dis
miss the charge against both. On leaving
The courtroom the young lady boarded
