N. Y. Independent: The loss to
workingmen in wages by strikes in
1880 is estimated to amount to about
$4,000, 900; and should the rate of
loss for the first four months of the
current year be continued the whole
year, it would amount to more than
$40, 900, 900. We think that it would
be pretty difficult to find any benefit
that would make up for this huge loss
in wages. The general fact is that
workingmen lose far more than they
gain by resorting to strikes.

DELRssEPs, GREAT SCHEME.

It is said that the irrepressible Count DeLesseps called the attention of his coun- trymen to his recent pleasant reception in this country as an indication of good feeling here toward his Panama canal scheme Of course it meant nothing of the kind, but the willy Frenchman saw his opportunity and took advantage of it. The fact is there is very little feeling of friendly or unfriendly kind about the canal here, but there is very general distrust of the assertions and predic- tions of DeLesseps and his chief supporters.
 That this distrust is we'll founded is made evident by the statements of Herr A. Beye- fer, 8 Swiss engineer, who was for some time engaged on the canal, and who is not unfriendly to the project. Of the 15O, 0OO,- 900 cubic metres of earth to be excavated, there is, according to this authority, up to the present time, but 16,000,006 done There has been expended up to date more than $1O7 ,000,000.- large part of this has been consumed in the purchase of supplies of various kinds-Which, however, have proved, many of them, to be of very little service-in the construction of ospitals, offices, and in the purchase of the shares of
 
 this, great deal of money has be en wasted either by the stupidity or dishonesty of those intrusted with the administration. Since June, 1882, there have been seven different general directors in charge of the work The machinery which has been purchased has a large part of it, been irreparably damaged in consequence of lack of care and the high de- gree of humidity of the air, which has a tendency quickly to destroy articles of this character. Then, too, according to this au thority, a great deal of the machinery brought from Europe had little practical value, as it was too heavy, the American made machinery being about the only part pronounced as highly desirable. According to Herr Beyeler, the entire cost of the com pleted canal will be something in the neigh borhood of $500, ,00O, 900, and it will take not less than ten years to perform the work. That is to say, the canal will cost five times more than M. DeLesseps' original estimate.
 It remains to be seen whether the promot- CTS of the scheme can get much more money to spend. The investment" looks too 'Eper- manent."

Small Feet of southern women.


 A lady of medium height may have a finely shaped foot such common rumor gives to Mrs. Cleveland, but in the South a No. 315 slipper is not usually designated as dainty. Probably 211a is as large as the term will stand. People who frequent southern bathrooms and summer resorts comment upon the fact that extremely small feet, feet incased in slippers running from 1 to 21a, are largely in the majority. Not many years since this subject was discussed in a ball. room in- Macon, and experts were able to discover out of eighteen pairs present and twinkling in the mazes of the dance but three numbers larger than 21a, and in the assembly were damsels who would have tipped the beam at one hundred and thirty five.
 This preponderance of small feet in the South among ladies of high social standing has been accounted for on many theories, the most natural one we think being the ex- planation that these ladies do not use their feet with the freedom and constancy that may be observed in other sections. They are not walkers in the first place. It is a rare thing to find in southern cities ladies of the class described who average tive miles walking per day the year round. Climate and roadways as we'll as custom, are against pedestrian exercise; the feet small be- cause they are not fully developed by use. Of course we speak in a general sense, be- cause there are families in which small feet are clearly an inheritance, and continue small despite exercise continuous and severe.

 Simple laws of chemistry and mechanics have joined with the art of design in produ- cling a novelty which may be applied in many amusing ways, not least in the varia- ton of Christmas and New Years cards, valentines, birthday greetings and the like, to say nothing of the endless ingenuities of advertising. In combination with printing, either in plain ink or in color, this invention is capable of producing all changes that fan cy may dictate. The hut of the emigrant, with it's inmate dreaming by his log fire, is transformed, by washing the picture with a wet sponge, into the home in the old coun- try which he sees in his slumbering imagina- tion. By like process MT. Gladstone can be changed into Lord Salisbury, or vice yer sa; and an Irish mud cabin is transmitted into comfortable and smiling room, the pig giving way to a Newfoundland dog or re- triever. One of the transformations, likely to be popular in the coming jubilee year of the Queen, is a portrait of Her Majesty which. when submitted to the simple opera tion above mentioned suddenly gives place to the youthful Princess Victoria, called to the throne in 1887. It is simply by the re- moval of some easily dissolved tint or color ing substance, which looks permanent but yields readily to little water, that the alter ation of subject in every case is effected. Hence the use of the wet sponge on the face of the design. Some months ago patent was taken out for the protection of this clev CT invention by Mr Andrew Reid, of New castle on Tyne, and syndicate has been formed in London, with MT. E. Walford as it's secretary, for carrying out the idea, which is practically inexhaustible in the fertile means which it affords of entertain ment and the indulgence of fancy.

Riders in Washington.


 Don Cameron's horseback ride from Har- risburg to Washington last week in company with his daughter was not as pleasant jour ney as he had anticipated, owing to bad weather, The roads between here and liar risburg are among the finest in the country, and it is a beautiful region to travel through. Senator Cameron is one of many Washington ians who enjoy long horseback excursions. He always has fine mount. His daily com panion on these rides during the session of Congress is his handsome friend, Senator Butler of South Carolina. The two tall, striking looking senators on their big bang tailed charges always make a sensation when they ride along the avenues.
 Another famous horseman is Secretary Bay ard, who sits most gracefully in the saddle, and puts his handsome and spirited fon-gray horse on his mettle when he strikes the coun- try roads. borseman you want to look out for. He is a dashing cavalier, and puts his long-tailed ser rel over the road at tearing gallop.
 Secretary Lamar rides an old brown nag that stands without hitching, and con- siderately turns out for people whom Mr Lamar doesn't see when he is in a brown study. The most interesting horseman in Wash | ineton, however is George Bancroft, the veteran historian. He is ST years old, but he never misses an outing in the open ar, nc matter what the weather may be. On rainy | days he usually takes brisk walk on Penn l svlvania avenne, but in good weather his l favorite outing is on horseback. He rides {

 A work which deserves encouragement is that which has been undertaken by the As sociation of Collegiate Alumn@, whose head quarters at 66 Marlboro street, Boston. It will collect statistics bearing upon the life of young girls in preparatory schools. It has already found reason to justify it's conclusion that the low standard of health among wo- men during and after college life is largely due to prevalent lack of physical training and disregard of the laws of health among young school girls. It requests that parents and guardians will aid in it's work by apply ing for record blanks at the office of the as- sociation and carefully entering the details called for. It is anticipated that the sys- tematic investigation now undertaken by the association will lead to most important re- forms in school and home methods of train ing during adolescence. The association will use every effort to impress the conviction that health is the only foundation for solid mental attainment, and for any life of prac- tical effort or valuable influence. It now suggests some directions in which improve ments may be made proftably, and expects to issue series of short practical mono graphs on the maintenance of health at some future time
