WORKING WOMEN AT LUNCH.
Their Three FnvorIto Articles of Food-A
CIeycr Little Game PLAYED.

@f'aA INV -
Clever Little Gamo Played.
A very great many working women in
New York take their luncheons with them to
the offices in which they are employed, and
eat sandwiches, apples, bits of cake and slices
OF bread and butter at their desks or type
writing machines out of u little tin box or a
scrap of paper. But all those who can afford
it try to got something hot and substantial
at their midday meal, and are wise in so do
ing, bccau5c bits Of cold bread and fruit arc
not sufficient nutrimcnt for n woman who is
doing ten hours Of hard work. In n good
many Of the big Office buildings, and in
some of the newspaper buildings, there are
cheap luncheon rooms, md at these places
the three fGvorito articles of food among tho
female customers are coffee, hot bread and
pic.
Strange to say, no woman seems to con-
slider her luncheon satisfactory without
something sweet, and men rarely cat sweets
MT their midday meal. a few women busy
in Offices down about Park row drop nto the
Aston house for a little steak and n cup of
tea There are restaurants on Fourteenth
street and on Broadway, near Ninth II
Tenth streets, that are largely patrunizcl by
working women because of their cunvrn-
iencc and their moderate rates. Very few of
these women spend more than forty cents for
their luncheon. They order very modest re-
paSts, but they clean up every scrap and
leave the dishes looking like Jack Sprat'S.
They study the menu with great care, and
know just what to order to get the most
nutriment for tho leGst money. Tho COM
panionnble girls divide into parties of four
for luncheon, having learned that by order
ing one portion of everything the four can
mako q pretty satisfactory meal, but the
four never leave enough of that one portion
to provide tho thinnest sort of lunch for the
very churchliest sort of mouse.
There is one clever little game played by
these parties carrces which provides them all
with I'm abundance on one portion of tea.
Instead of having a cup for each they order
q pot of tho beverage, which comes with
plenty of tea leaves and only water enough
added to mako two cupfuls. This they i'm
mediately pour of and request tho waiter for
q pitcher of hot water, for which there is no
extra charge, and armed with this they can
fill the teapot and replenish their cups twice
before it begins to get weak and ta~steless.
There is no extra charge for sugar or milk,
md so this pot of tea, which costs twenty
cents, makes n good part of tho luncheon of
four women. Some of the restaurant keep
ers caught on to this and only sent to the
table with the teapot n saucer containing
four or five Jumps of sugar, but the sympa-
thies of the walters are usually with the hard
working md under paid females, and they
manage to provide them with sufficient to
sweeten all the ten they can brow in one tea
pot.-New York World.

4 MAN.

Mr.. fhos. j. Bouton, editor of the
Buffalo Echo, is in a very exuberant
frame OF mind. As he explains it him
self, it came about in this wise: The
expansive smile which has pre-empted
the available area of sc editors counte-
nance and trespassed upon that portion
usually allotted to the rural appendages, is
explained by the arrival, on Monday last,
of a most important third section which
henceforth goes to make up the editorial
home circle. The edition is of the gen
tier sex, tipped the beam at a good 81
pounds, and is altogether lovely. All do
ing we'll"
To the paternal eyes of our Buffalo con-
temporary all the world is enshfouded in
a rosy glamour. It's the first time my
thing of the sort has happened to him, so
this "oh be.joyful'' feeling is perhaps ex-
cusable. He Lay now come into the fold
and humblY shake the hand of our veteran
friend Deacon Hayford of the Laramie
Sentinel, who has sounded the depths of
more i~nfantile woe than any man In the
newspaper profession in Wyoming. Tx
perience has made the deacon philosoph-
zeal. Year by year he has gone s%erenely
on announcing to his delighted readers
the recurrence of an event similar to that
alluded to by Mr.. Bouton, in language
perhaps less poetic but equally indicative
of Joy. We commend Deacon Hayford to
the attention OF Mr.. Bouton, for nothing
ever seems to mitigate his domestic COM
fort except, perhaps, the news that some
neighbors have simultaneously rung three
OF a kind into their family circle.
BY the way, we hope that Mr.. Becker
OF the Buffalo Sentinel will have the cour.
tesy to come cheerfully forward and &C,

A BILL presented by Mr.. Sutherland
restricting the appointment of deputy
sheriffs, marshals and policemen" has
passed the house and been turned over to
the mercics of the council The bill pro
vidcs that mo board of county commits
%sioners. sheriff, mayor or other person
authorized to appoint deputy sheriff,
marshal, constable or policeman, shall
appoint any person who at the time of his
appointment is not a qualified clcctor in
the county. town or precinct for which he
is SO appointed. The appointment of
each such person is considered a separate
misdemeanor ~entailing a fine of not more
than 500. Has Wyoming reached
such a stage that a law of this tenor is
necessary? Why should the mayor,
county commissioners or sheriff be so re-
stricted in the selection of special officers
when they are held responsible for the
acts of all such officers
Let US hear some adequate reasons for
the necessity of such a law.

JOHN +. MCBLAIN was yesterday con,
tirmed by the United States senate as first
lieutenant in the 9th cavalry. He should
have received the honor long ago, but his
divorced wife's relations had political in
huence which they used to good advan-
tagc. The sensational court martial OF
Lieut.. McBlain in this city last summer,
its queer finding and the reversal of its
judgment by Gen, Crook, satisfied the
public that he was more sinned against
than shining and made further delay Of
his confirmation a matter of impossiblllty.

strued to include stray unbranded sheep
as mavericks cxpunged from the bill. 1t
was so ordered. In making the request
the gentleman set forth that ofttimcs the
marks painted on the wool producers be-
came erased or indistinguishable and that
during certain seasons, more especially
about shearing time, entire herds of the
animals strayed away. Messrs. Weaver,
Sutherland, Kuykendall and Blyden-
burgh spoke briefly on the measure.
TERRITORIAL HOSPITAL.
Mr.. Murray, Sweetwater county, noti-
fed the house in the usual manner that
at an early date he would introduce a bill
for an act to erect and maintain a terrific
rial hospital at Rock Springs. The pro-
posed structure is TO cost $25, 900, and be
used instead OF county hospitals.
TIE GAMBLING LAW.
MI. Lairentz believes that the chapter
of the statutes specifying the games
which shall be considered lawful in Wyo-
ming, fixing the licenses and generally
regulating the business mars the appear
ance of the book, and will introduce a bill
repeating what is known as the gaming
law.
RELIEF.
Mr.. Sampson, Albany county, yester-
day gave notice that the next measure he
would present to the house would be for
the relief of Judge Sam'l Slaymaker,
Chas. Il. Clay and the Swan Land and
Cattle company. Horses belonging to
these parties died in quarantine before
they could be regularly condemned by the
veterinarian. AS a consequence the own
ers failed to be recompensed in the usual
manner by the territory.
RAILROADS AND CATTLE.
Mr.. Snyder, Uinta county, has pre-
pared a bill %amendatory to the statute in
regard to the killing of cattle by railroad
companies. 1t provided for the payment
of damages by the railways.
DEFINING ROBBERY.
Section 500 of the revised statute de-
fines the crime of robbery. Mr.. Suther-
land, Albany county, desires its amend
ment.

Under n suspension of rules the house
passed the council Joint resolution request
ing the penitentiary commission to sub
mi. a report to the tenth assembly.
SELLING THE STATUTES.
Mr.. Curricr, Albany county, was chair
man Of the committee of the whole which
recommended the passage of Mr.. Roberts
bill regulating the distribution and sale of
the revised statutes of Wyoming now
stored in the territorial library. The new
law fixes the price OF the volume at 81. so.
During the discussion of this measure,
which was slightly amended, Mr.. Lafrentz
took occasion to call attention to and con-
denim the short sightcdncss of a former
Legislative body in causing the printing of
such a large edition of book which every
ono knew would soon be almost useless.
SCHOOL LAWS.
The committee to which had been re-
fcrrcd Mr.. Grants bill amending and re-
vising the statute defining the powers of
school district meetings, submitted a re-
port recommending that the bill be re-
lcrrcd to a special committee, which
should revise the school laws. The re-
port was adopted.

CULTIVATED LAND IN INDIA.
rom Che London Times.

From Che London Times.
The twenty-ffth and twenty-sixth
tables of the new Indian Statistical
Abstract contain some information
of special interest at the present mo-
ment in regard to the area of Brit
ish India actually under cultivation,
the area at present uncultivated
which might be cultivated, and the
proportions of the different crops.
The total acreage Of India, accord
ing to the Survey Department is
4SO.667, O94 acres. Deduct 1865
4S3 acres, the area of the feudatOry
and tributary States, and Of other
districts for which agricultural re-
turns are not obtainable, and with
which the figures do not deal, and
we get 364,05I,6ll acres as the
area of British India FOR agricultur-
al purposes. or this less than half
or l52, S34,640 acres, is actually I'M
der cultivation, including %, 125,36l
acres of current fallows. OF this
l66,492,45S acres which is unculti-
waited, rather more than half is fit
for cultivation, and the remainder is
not available for that purpose, so
that an area Of S0,000,000 acres in
British India still awaits the hus
bandman. The area under forests,
which is not included under either
culsiyatable or uncultiyatable land,
is 4O.IS5,729 acres. The distribu
ton of crops was as follows: Rice,
23,Il4,662; wheat, 19,SS3,040; other
food grains, including pulse, III, 49,

appears that there is practically un-

among other things, the Prince has

An Explanation.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be af-
tiicted! If you will remember few
years ago the word Malaria was COM
paratively unknown,-to-d to day it is as
common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times past. So it
is with nervous diseases. rs they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billiousness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func-
tions finding it cannot dispose OF the
bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
1alaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreciate
a cure. We recommend Green's Au-
gust Flower. Its cures are mar
velous.

A story is told of a postmaster
whose lack of knowledge of working
his own 'nest" lost him an increase
of 500 on his salary next year.
When he sent his returns in he
lacked 81 cents of the amount called
for by the law to permit an adjust
ment of his salary. His report showed
the yearly receipts of his office to be
S2,O99.20. As the department allows
a fraction over a half dollar to be
counted as dollar, the postmaster
would have been 800 more in pocket
if he had had shrewdness enough to
buy 81 cents worth of stamps ont of
his own pocket. Since he sent his re-
port he has learned his mistake, and
anybody in the county now can kick
him. His was the only case of the
kind in the $500. 1t caused much
merriment among the clerks at the
Postoffice Department.
