THE STORY OF A BUsTLE.
Why Father Wants a Servant who
Does not Wear One
FrOnl the WashtnQton Stal.

From the Wdshin0ton Star.
Talk about bustles," said the father Of
family, suddenly arousing himself from deep
meditation, and slapping a reporter on the
knee. They had been speaking of nothing for
the past twenty minutes, and the last thing
mentioned before that was something about a
grinding monopoly.
Here's an advertisement had prepared:
WANTED, a Servant Girl without a hustle
w or other artificial enlargement of the an
atomy; no objection 10 carrying cold victualS
nome In basket; no hustle need apply.
MY wife wanted to know if was dropping
back into barbarsm, and declared that the
tyranny OF man would stop at nothing. Why
should attempt to abridge the civil rights of
servant girls by 5epriving them of their consti-
tutlonal privilege to wear bustles? Her womans
sense of Justice was shocked and she declared
that would not dare suggest such a thing if
women had votes; and when | suggested the
election frauds that might be practiced by
women with bustles full of ballots, she began to
cry, and SAID my cruelty was inspired by envy,
because she had just that day bought new
extra size 99c. hustle, that made her dress stand
out just lovely. might have it if | wanted, and
she would continue wearing the old one that
was twisted all on one side and made her look
ike chicken going across the wind. She en-
iarged upon the subject by declaring that l
sought to deprive poor servants of their princi-
pal source of comfort-the rudder that kept
them upon their course. l surely would not de-
prive poor girl of her hustle.
Anu listened 10 all this and more. Then L
LED her gently into the kitchen and unlocked
the hustle Honesty had left hanging behind the
door, Honesty is the name OF our servant girl
that was. There was something prophetic in
the choice on her christening day. 1qlietly I'M
hooked Honestys hustle from the door and
emptied from 1t a half pound of tea, six of the
oabys most useful articles of clothing, one
towel, two pounds of sugar three silver spoons,
bottle of pickles, beefsteak, box of tinted
cosmetic, and pair of stockings My wife
tainted dead away-after she had secured the
rouge and hid it from my sight in the back folds
OF her own dress. Now she weeps when l come
home to dinner, and declares that Wen never
get q servant who is willing to dispense with a
hustle for the consideration of S15 per month
unless Mr.. Goodmaker, the missionary can get
us one, way off there were they eat folks and
don't wear any clothes at all. Then she covers
her tace with her hands and says it would never

that way. Meanwhile, by laborious mathe-
NAUTICAL process, have been calculating the ca
pacity Of Honesty's hustle, and find it to hold
just three half pecks and a pint, which is ample

ana not permanent storage, for half my regular
FAMILY supply of groceries and provisions, not
to mention dry goods and notions"

The increasing Pension Burden.

1t seems to be easier to get pension bill
through Congress than bill of any other
kind. During one session of the Senate
lately l27 pension bills We're passed, and
great many more are waiting action both
in the House and Senate. II is safe to say
that not half dozen Senators knew any
thing about any one of these 127 bills. They
were reported favorably and the Senate
assumed that somebody had inquired into
the merits of them. This sort of legislation
will soon make the pension burden so large
that the people will begin to grumble. Then
the sleepy and careless Senators will wake
up and wonder how so many pensioners got
upon the pension list.
On Monday the President vetoed two
bills which gave pensions to widows of
soldiers who did not die of sickness con-
tracted in the service of the country, and it
seems that they had never, as soldiers re-
ceived any wounds. The President said,
and very justly, too, that it had not yet
been determined by Congress to give pen
sions to soldiers widows in cases in which
the soldiers themselves had not been en-
titled TO them. If the President had signed
these bills they would have been precedents
for granting thousands of other pensions.
How was it that the Congress passed themG
The only explanation is that neither the
House nor the Senate knew their charac-
ter. The chairman of the Committee
which reported them wished, doubtless, to
favor the widows named in them, and,
hence, reported them favorably, and they
were passed without any questions being
asked, or examination of their character
being made
On Monday Senator Stewart introduced
bill giving the widow of the late Chief
Justice pension of $1,000. He remarked
that there was just as much reason for pen
sioning the widow of Chief Justice as the
widow of a President. He may be
right in his position, but if the widow of
a Chief Justice is pensioned why not the
widow of Justice, and if Justice, why
not of any Judge of the United Statesl In
fact, why should the widow Of one Federal
officer be favored rather than another? If
the pensiOnIng of the widows of Federal
officers once begins it is impossible to say
where it will end
The widows of officials have no claims
upon the people. Judges, Congressman
and other ofiiceholders are well paid for all
the services they render as public servants
1t is very seldom the Office seeks them.
Almost invariably they. seek the Office, and
it is unjust to burden the people with the
support Of their families if they should die
without an estate sufficient to support those
who were dependent upon them.

Cloth Made of Glass.

The statement is made that Mr.. Henry
George is preparing to become Compress
sional candidate at the next election. His
intention to change his residence in New
York 50 as to get into the Eighth district
gives rise to the statement. At the time
Mr. George ran for Mayor of New York, he
could have gone TO Congress if he had de-
sired to do SO, but he Thought he saw better
things ahead. 1t is very doubtful now if he
can get to Congress. The Eighth district is
repr scented by Timothy j. Campbell, and
while Campbell is a Democrat. he is hardly
lit to be a Congressman However, he
seems to have a pretty firm hold upon
large element in tho district. George has
the brains to make much better member
than Campbell, but it is doubtful if he
would use them to good purpose.

Senator Ingalls, told n representative of
the Philadelphia Press the other day that
the Office of President was the least desira-
bic of all the offices in the gift of the peo-
pie. And yet Senator Ingalls, would no
doubt accept a Presidential nomination
without the least reluctance Perhaps his
opinion is governed to some extent by the
report which comes from Kansas that the
leading Republican daily of that State, fol-
lowed by large number of anti-Ingalls
men is opposing the selection Of Ingalls,

The River.

Richard E. Burton IN the Hartford Times.
There was a mighty river that knew
In time long by; il made me hold my breath.
To watch its wondrous ways-so wide il grew,
So plain the darker eddes spoke Of death,
The lads that dared TO swim it were so few.
Man grown, to-day muse the stream beside,
And smile, remembering--for tbs span
And nothing more TO reach across its tide
Wilhelm the blacklist pools your eye may scan
The bottom where the minnows haunt and hide
Mayhap the rivers will not shrink to streams.

Railway Building in 1898.

The Railway Age of April ID has some
facts about railway building during the
present year that are int resting. During
1887 about 1900 miles of railway were
built in this country, which mileage, the Age
says, unprecedented This great mileage
created the impression that there would be
considerable depression in railway building
in 1888 In railway circles the opinion was
freely expressed that this year there would
be comparatively little activity
in track-aying. Contrary to
general expectation, however, there were
more miles of track laid during the first
three months of this year than during the
same period of any previous year The new
track was not confined to few States, but
was laid in a majority of the States and
Territories The greatest number of miles
was laid in Georgia, and the next greatest
in Texas. In Georgia 1l3 miles were laid
on five lines and in Texas 112 miles on five
lines. The total miles laid In % States, on
"a lines, were 1,O96. In 1887, for the same
period, ,040 miles were laid on 40 lines in
% States.
The Age says that if the history of pre-
vious years is taken as guide between
5000 and 1900 miles of track will be laid
this year. Speaking of new roads the Age
says: 1.-The fact that nearly 700 different
roads projected or in progress have already
been reported upon this year, lying IN A
of the States and Territories, indicates not
not only that large additional railway
mileage is contemplated, but that all por-
tions of the country, even including those
already best supplied with railways ARE feel
ing the need of still larger facilitiesn

Savings Banks in the South.
From the Albany Express (ReD)

From the Albany Express (ReDJ
One of the most notable evidences of pros
perity in the South is in the growing popularity
OF savings banks. few years ago there were
not more than half dozen savings institutions
soutn OF Mason and Dixons line, and it was
puzzle TO New Englanders why such institutions
were not established and supported there in
greater numbers. But with the growing enter
prise and thrift of the Southern people, aided
by the importation of Northern notions, savings
banks have sprung up in many of the Southern
cities and they are doing good business.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Purclaasable senatorshIps.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.)
1t is commonly said that seats in the United
States Senate and other offices are purchasable.
No one has ever proven it in any case but when
a suspicion becomes general it has almost the
same political effect as though it was fact.

During the quarter of a century in which
the Republicans were in power, when a de-
partment at Washington wanted luxury
that was not allowed by the government, it
bought what it wanted and called the
article ''soap," or candles, or something
of that sort In this way the Treasury De-
partment got collection Of oil paintings
of It's Secretaries. These pictures, with the
exception of Secretary Folger's, cost
about $500 apiece. Folgers cost 81, 500.

ANALYSIS OF A TEAR.
Things Which Make IA Dewdrop Upon
Woman's Cheek.

Things which Make Dewdrop Upon n
Woman's Cheek.
The principal element in the compo-
sition of tear, rs may readily DO sup
posed, is water. The other elements
are salt, soda, phosphate of lime, phos-
phate of soda and mucus, each in small
proportions. A dried tear seen through
microscope of good average power
presents peculiar appearance. The
water, after evaporation, leaves behind
it the saline ingredients, which ANAL
gamate and form themselves into
heightened cross lines, and look like a
number of minute fish bones. The
tears are secrcted in what are called
the "lachrymal glands" situated over
the eyeball and underneath the lid.
The contents of these glands are car
ried along and under the inner surface
of the eye-lids by means of six or seven
very fine channels, and are discharged
a little above the cartilage supper ting
the I'D.
The discharge of tears from the lach-
rymal glands is not occasional and ac-
cidcntal, as is commonly supposed, but
continuous. 1t goeaon both day and
night-though less abundantly at night
through the "conduits," and spreads
equally over the surface of the pupil, in
Writ ue of the incessaut movement of the

flow is carried away by two little drains,
