ening to the advantages to be gained from
such union.

the experience Of the past year. the benefits
the members had already received and the
larger benefits that may reasonably be ex
pected hereafter. 1t was the general feeling
expressed that the Alliance Hail association
hid Adfurnishetf insurance for 1887 yary cheaply,

nish copies of the same to Delegate Clifford:

the lack OF a suitable medium for transmitting
small amounts OF money through the mails,
especially through the newer parts of the
country; and
Whereas, fractional currency is we'll suited
to overcome this Inconvenience; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the issue Of fractional cur
rency is urgently demanded.
WHEREAS, the spirit and intent of trust
combinations is ininical to the just rights and
privileges Of the people, and seriously threaten
the prosperity of the nation; therefore, be 1t
Resolped, That laws should be passed effect
ually preventing the formation Of such trusts
and we DO hereby petition congress to take

WOMEN AS COLLECTORS.
A New Avenue of Employment Opened to
the Weaker Sex.


The avenues of employment for women
are constantly increasing Already she
has proved herself good clerk, a good
book keeper and a good type writer,
and the latest is female collector. At
least dozen houses in Kansas City are
employing women in this capacity, and
their number seems to be constantly in
creasipg,
A woman may be book keeper or type
writer and yet be the most feminine Great
ure imaginable, despite her business rela-
tions, says the Kansas City Star, but the
female dunner would seem to be another
kind Of business woman, and she brincS for
ward very promptly the question of how
much distinction must be made between a
woman and man In the same business.
One thing is certain, one can not kick a
lady collector out of the Office
The female collectors are for the most
part young women, and, according TO their
employers, they are as persistent and as
successful in their business as men, Their
mode OF operation, however, is somewhat
peculiar, and they do not seem to go about
the collection of bill the same way as a
man. A reporter happened in an office yes
terday where fifteen or twenty young men
were working While he was talking with
the manager a well-dressed young woman
walked in and inquired for one of the Young
men. BE was pointed out TO her, and while
the whole Office watched her she walked
over TO his desk and began conversation
with him in tone so low no one could hear.
After talking for few moments she turned
TO go, and raising her voice, said:
:" If you don't come in and settle III be
around again on Saturday"
When She was gone the young man came
in for an unmerciful guying. and it is safe to
say he made desperate effort 10 pay the
bill before Saturday. She was the collector
for jewelry firm.
A merchant who has adopted the new
scheme was asked about il, aHd said: 81

faithful and Trustworthy, and has great
success in making some worry bad collec-
lions, and don't see why lady should not

bill If she can do almost every thing else

EDIBLE BIRDS NESTS.
A Description of How They Are Built and
Put Together.


j. B. Steere, in american Naturalist, adds
considerable to our knowledge of edible
birds nests-regarded as a rare dellcacy in
Chinese cooSery-though he still evidently
sticks to the old notion that the gelatin Of
which the nests are in part or wholly made,
is fluid secreted from the salivary glands
of the swifts that make the nests, which
liquid hardens on exposure to the air. AS
far as our own chimney swifts are con-
cerned, it has been proved that the gum
with which the twigs are fastened together
is of vegetable and not of animal character:
and that in the case brought TO the notice
of a scientific institution-the Academy of
Natural Science of Philadelphia-where
the matter was investigated, the gum was
found to belong to the cherry tree. In the
case of the edible birds nest, the "gum "
has been proved to be sea-weed brought
by the bird often from long distances. The
new points illustrated by Mr.. Steere's pa
per is an actual description of the places
where the birds build, into which he was
introduced by an Indian nest -gatherer in
the Philippine Islands, and his description
of the nest-building itself. The birds build
in the caves in utter darkness, and it takes
nearly a month to finish one nest. They
are collected by the Indians before egg
laying begins. None Of the eggs in the cave
visited were laid, as the gstherer had been
there less than three weeks before. The
nests were pure white in color, made of
''little tibers interviewer with each other"
which it is surprising did not suggest a
doubt as TO its being made Of ''salivary
liquid hardened by exposure to the air." as
the encyclopedias say, "and were still soft
and damp" The entrance to these caves is
often long, dark and tortuous, and it is sur
prising how the adventurous birds find the
caves out An interesting fact is that near
the mouth Of some of the caves, where there
is faint light, the nests are made of grass
and lichens, though fastened by the birds
gum. Mr.. Steere says these nests are evi-
dently made by the same species of bird,
though not, of course, by the same in
dividuals. These swifts deposit two eggs,
and continue year after year in the same
nest il not disturbed, adding to the nest
each time. The young build beside, and
often attached to the parent nests. The skin
of a snake, eight or ten feet in length, was
seen by Mr.. Steere, who has reason to
believe that the dangers to the nest
gatherers from these creatures are not
wholly mythical

far as the tobacco that is used is concerned,
1t is probably neither better ner worse than
other smoking tobaccos that are in the
market. OF course it is favored, and
what has been said of other granulated
smoking tobacco will probably apply
equally as well to the tobacco used for
cigarettes. The gravest objection to the
cigarettes is the use of a paper wrapper,
and that, too, paper containing some of
the beach salts used in its manufacture in
connection with smoking tobacco contain
ing high percentage of nicotine. The cigar
ette manufacturer uses rice paper, at least
he says he does, and he believes it. too. The
paper is fiber paper, and the fact that il
is, in part or in whole, made from the fiber
of rice stalk does not make the paper any
more suitable. The difficulty with the paper
is IN the method of its manufacture, and

AESTHETIC MUSIC.
Fashionable Church Choir Tells About
Solomon and Washing.

A Fashionable Church Choir Tells About
Solomon and Washing.
Attending service not long ago, says
writer in Good Housekeeping, in an elegant
church edifice where they worship God
with taste in highly aesthetic manner, the
choir began that scrptural poem that COM
pares Solomon with lilies of the field, some
what to the formers disadvantage AL
though never possessing great admiration
for Solomon, nor considering him suitable
person to hold up as a shining example be-
fore the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, still pang for him was left when the
choir, after expressing unbounded admira-
ton for the lilies OF the field. which 1t is
doubtful If they ever observed very closely,
began to tell the congregation through the
mouth of the soprano that Solomon in all
his glory was not arrayed." Straightway
the soprano was reinforced by the bass.
who declared that Solomon was most de-
cidedly and emphatically not arrayed-was
not arrayed. Then the alto ventnred it as
her opinion that Solomon was not arrayed.
when the tenor without a moments hesita-
ton sang as if it had been officially an
nounced that ''he was not arrayed'' Then
when the feelings of the congregation had
been narrowed up sufficiently, and our
sympathies all aroused for poor Solomon,
whose numerous wives allowed him to go
about in such fashion, even in that climate
the choir altogether in a most cool
and composed manner informed US
that the idea they intended %
convey was that Solomon in all his glory
was not arrayed like one of these These
what! So long time had elapsed since
they sapg of the lilies that the thread was
entirely lost, aud by ''theseE one naturally
concluded that the choir was designated

most decidedly. Solomon in the very zenith
Of his glory was not arrayed like ono Of
these.
Despite the experience of the morning the
hope stiil remained that in the evening a
sacred song might be sungin a manner that
would not excite our risibilitIes or leave the
impression that we had been listening to a
case OF blaclzmafl- But again of started the

chested basso, as though calling Up all his
iortitude for the plunge, beloved forth the
sternresolve that be also would wash. Next
a short mterlude on the organ, strongly
suggestive OF the escaping Of steam or
splash Of the waves, after which the choir
indivsdusl;y and collectively asserted the

stating that they proposed to wash their
hands IN innocency, so viii the altar Of the
Lord be conpassed.n
