Lines in Memory of stephen j. Meany.

Lines in Memory of stephen j. Meany.
BY J. r. GILDEA.
Yes he died in the time of his country's affection
Wher her foes are imprisoning the best OF the
brave; :,
But his heart and his hand would forever uphold
her
Could ne cross but ono g mt r, to her shores DER
the wave
For this ne lls.d struggled and hoped for, and
fought for;
In prison and out his great soul was the same,
And e'en to the last would his tears fall in silence
To see his poor country in sorrow and shame.
How often since Ennis beheld him in boyhood
Did his men run like magic to champion her
cause,
How OFT ..,u he unfurl the green flag of Erin
In the face of old England defying her laws
His soul may i. dwell in the mansions of heaven,
Where, the patriots he once loved are setplnS
in peace;
For his sD,rIt Detimes will look down the strug
gle
In defense of old Erin that never shall cease
Till Parneli. and Davitt, and Healy, and Dillon,
O'Bren, and OCOnnOr. and Sullivan are placed
As cold as poor Meany to-day in the graveyard,
Or their nation from England's false map be
erased.

THE ladies of Allegheny City are prepar-
ing for peculiar sort of boycott. An
institution has been formed with mem
bership of over 200 ladies, many of whom
are the leaders of society. 1t is the inten-
ton of the organization to bring about an
early closing Saturday night movement
On April 1 list of stores and shops keep
ing open after o'clock Saturday evenings
will be published, and after that date The
boycott will begin, every member of tn,
society having pledged herself not to dea
with any store coming under the ban.
While we do not wholly agree with the
ladies, the principal for which they are
working il good one, but we are afraid
will never work successfully Early clos
ing movements have been tried in nearly
every city in the Union, only to be knocked
out in one short round by some one break
ing the rule. Unless legislation steps in,
which is not at all probable, and until the
laws restricting the hours of labor are en-
forced, the ladies of Allegheny City or any
other city are only wasting valuable time,
which could be spent to good advantage in
their kitchens.

a Hin. to the Housewife.

Slowed apples, pears and plums are favor
ite articles of diet. For breakfast or lunch
con, in the dining room or in the nursery,
there are few table dishes more wholesome
and more delicious than well stewed fruit
served up with cream or custard. There are
many persons, however, who cannot eat 1T
on account either of the acidity OF the fruit
or the excess Of sugar necessary to make it
palatablc. Sugar does not, of course, coun-
teract acidity: it only DISCUSSES it, and its use
in large quantities is calculated to retard di-
gestion. The housewife may, therefore, be
grateful for the reminder that pinch-a
very small pinch-of bicarbonate OF soda,
sprinkled over the fruit previously to cook
ing, will save sugar, and will render the dish
at once more palatable and more wholesome.

The Coming Women.

Nothing in the United States struck me
more than the fact that the remarkable in
tellectual progress of that country is very
largely due to the efforts Of American women,
who edit many of the most powerful maya
zines and newspapers, take part in tho dis
cussion of every question Of the public
interest, and exercise an important influence
upon the growth and tendencies Of literature
and art Indeed, the women of America
are the one class in the community that en-
joys that leisure which is SO necessary for
culture. The men are, as n rule, SO absorbed
in business, that the task of bringing some
element of form into the chaos of daily life is
left almost entirely to the opposite sex, and
an eminent Bostonian once assured me that
in the Twentieth century the whole culture of
his country would be i'll petticoats.-Oscar
Wilde in Woman's World.

People of the Congo Country.

You will, of course, want some description
Of the people in this my first visit from the
great valley. They are for the most part
peaceful ON the lower rivers; vary much in
features, form and color. They have marks,
such as taking cut the center upper front
teeth. notching the same, sharpening all the
upper fronts to point, picking certain
shaped marks in their foreheads and tenn
pies, and making animals, or great many
small marks, on their chests and backs to
distinguish the different tribes. Their dress
is very simple, consisting only of loin cloth
for the common people, while the royal fam
lies and the rich wear long choice skirts
down to the ankle and shoulder strap be-
Sides They also wear in abundance heavy
brass rings on their waists and ankles, tho
women wearing strings and strings Of beads
around their waists and up and down their
chests and backs. The stiff bristle from the
tail of the elephant is also considered a fine
article of jewelry, being worn as are the
brass rings. Their religion consists of all
kinds of superstitions. They have different
fetch for nearly every thing, those for med
icine being worn as is the one to keep off the
bad man, whom they call ndoki.-Congo
Missionary in Christian Recorder.
Grand DANES of Dieppe.
Dieppe boasts fish markets innumerable;
frowsy headed, burly fish woman of Great
Britain, for the Mime. Angots of Franco
are very careful of their appearance. So,
too, are their grand danes, who are disposed
of throughout the whole market place,
wherever an unoccupied bushel basket or
particularly sunny nook may be found;
these old creatures arc never i'll the way of
the rising generation; and a thousand times
il tho course of our rambles you will have
reason to wonderf you have not accidentally
come across an enlarged edition of certain
carving, seen but an hour or SO ago, as the
case may be. There. they sit, with white
starched caps 1aring in the sun, immaculate
kcrchiefs folded demurely around the faded
throat, and the inevitable piece of knitting
to satisfy the restless hands that havp SO long
been strangers to idleness. In this country
it, is striiing1y noticeable how differently
tho peasants grow old iii comparison to those
of other climates; the skin, which, in youth,
was 1T and ruddy, becomes peculiar nut
brown, marked by many deep wrinkles that
are particularly prominent because Of the
remarkable wax Like surfaes on which they
arc indented, aud sd it is sn1all wdqder that

In another column We present an alb
stract of the report of so families of the
State, furnished to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. In it are presented tables show
ing the wages earned by the individual
members of families, the living expenses,
and a lot of other information. The whole
will of course furnish interesting reading
for the upper classes, who have only this
way of learning the condition of the poor,
yet it is misleading. The 80 families who
have filed these reports with the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, although taken at ram
dom from different parts of the State, all
happen to be in fair circumstances. AS
we have said the report may make interest
ing reading for certain classes, but the
people principally interested-the wage
earners-are not benefited any by public
recital of their condition. Not that there
are no evils to be remedied, because every
body knows of the unfortunate condition
of thousands of workingmen of Connecti-
cut, whose only crime is poverty, but be-
cause the investigation does not go far
enough. The bureau should suggest some
remedy forpresent evils, and not satisfy
themselves with bare report which gives
not the slightest idea of the home life of the
many in whose'interest it was instituted.

PLUcfNf STRoKEL, who completed 526
miles, emitting him to share in the gate
receipts at the big walk in New York, is to
be congratulated. 1t took all the poor fell
lows nerve and strength to complete the
task, and but few of the thousands who
witnessed his struggle to secure u place
among the leaders, knew that he carried a
romantic secret in his breast, or that he
was walking for wife. Yet such was the
case. Strokel although poor man wanted
to get married, as most poor men do, but
the maiden of his choice was evidently a
sensible girl, and refused to marry him III
til he had Il little money. In his desperation
Strokel enlisted in the walking match, and
by the hardest kind of hard work secured
seventh place, and will receive about $500
as his share of the gate receipts.
He can now claim the girl as
his very own. The poor fellow
put in terrible week of mental and
physical suffering for that girl, and she
should make him a model wife

Relief for Toothache.

Spirits of inter mixed with alum and APP
piled to the cavity of the tooth affected with
toothache will usually relieve the pain, even
though the nerve be exposed. 1t is best ap-
piled ON a little cotton. If the pain extends
upward to the eye, or takes the form Of
neuralgia, procure some horse radish leaves,
take out the stems, wet them and apply on
the face over the seat of the pain. This will
generally bring relief-Herald Of Health.

The Chicago anarchists having, for good
and sufficient reasons, discontinued the
manufacture of dynamite bombs, are now
engaged in the more innocent occupation
of making plaster of paris busts of their
late brethren who persisted on the scaffold.
The busts are being sent abroad, where
they are said to find ready sale among the
sympathizers with the cause. If these me-
mentoes only serve to remind the people to
whom they are sent that anarchy doesn't
pay in this country, and that they would
do well to remain i'll their native land, this
enterprise of their Chicago brethren can be
set down as very useful and salutary mis-
