WHAT OHIO LOST THEM.

The loss of the legislature in Ohio is a
much greater cause of lamentatiOn to
the Republicans generally than the de-
feat of FORAKER. That would not in
itself cause much ocular humidity with
the friends of SHERMAN and a good
many Others. But the legislature will
elect a senator and redistrict the state
for congressman. HALSTEAD's paper
sadly computes that this means a loss
of more members than all the four new
states have given them. This is an adj
mission that the Republicans intended
to so arrange the districts that few
Democrats could be elected. They
have shown themselves adopts in this.
There is no reason to suppose that the
Democrats will not display quite as
much fairness as they can find in Re-
publican presidents.

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.

In the light of the recent elections
new emphasis is given the suggestion
that the members of congress should be
elected just before the meeting of con-
gress. rather than thirteen months in
advance. Had congress been elected
this month, there would be large ma
jority for the Democrats. The popular
mind has undergone marked change
since the election of HARRISON. The
body elected at that time does not rep
resent the present views of the people.
Either Ohio, Iowa, New York or Massa-
ehusetts would have wiped out all the
Republican majority in the house, had
the choice of congressman been had
this year. 1t is desirable that they
come to the work of legislation fresh
from the people.

APHORISMS.

Let Fortune do her worst, whatever
she makes us lose, as long as she never
makes us lose our honesty and our indie
pendence.-Pope.
As nothing truly valuable can be at
tanned without industry. so there can be
no persevering industry without deep
sense of the value of time. -Sigourney.
Vanity keeps persons in favor with
themselves, who are out of favor with
all Others.-S
Use your tongue cautiously, and your
stock of wealth and reputation shall. at
least in repute, be great.-Zimmerma
Never hold any one by the button, or
hand, in order to be heard out; for if
people are unwilling TO hear you. you
had better hold your tongue than them.
Chesterfield.
None are so fond of secrets as those
who do not mean to keep them; such
persons covet secrets as Spendthrift
does money, tor the purpose Of circula-
ton. Cotton.
Every child should be taught to pay
all his debts and to fulfill all his con-
tracts, exactly in manner, completely in
value. punctually at the time. Every
thing he has borrowed he should be
obliged to return uninjured at the time
specified, and everything belonging to
others which he has lost he should be
required to replace.-Dwight.

THE French lose very little by emil
grafton, as the people there generally
believe that there is no other land that
has as bright skies and other cheerful
things about. Still there are indications
that the development of that nationality
has about reached its zenith. There
were last year 1874 fewer births than
the year before, and a large in
crease in divorces. The tendency is
steadily towards decadence in popula-
ton. The Germans multiply and over
flow into other lands. They may event
ually take up much of the space in
France made vacant by the decay of the
French stock.

WHAT A WOMAN CAN Do.
Some Of the Things That Are Pc.
culiar1y Feminine.


culiarly Feminine.
What can woman do?
She can laugh with her lips-make a
man think she is the merriest cricket in
the world, while her eyes are full of uu-
shed tears, and her heart is beating as
if it would burst.
She can forgive a great sin like an
angel, and nag man about petty vice
like an importation from the lower re-
gionS.
She can fix over old frocks and wear
them with a cheerful heart that she may
help somebody, and she can spend the
first money that she really feels that she
can use for herself in going to matinee
and OH sweets, when she knows she
needs new pair of shoes.
She can quiet baby with one or two
reassuring pats when a man might al
most knock the life out of 1t, give it
whole bottle of soothing syrup, and it
would still be open-eyed and aggressive.
She can employ whole day looking
for pair of braces for Jack, and yet in
the time of trouble she could buy
mourning outfit In halfa hour, and her
needle would fly as if guided by cleo
tricity in sewing on bridal gown or a
shroud for somebody's baby.
She can cry out her trouble on a mans
shoulder and feel a relief that is only
possible from masculine help, and ten
minutes after she can laugh In that
mans face and wonder what men were
made for.
She can be brave in time of mental
trouble; she can stand by and hold the
hand of some one who is suffering from
physical trouble. yet she will scream
as if she were about to be killed at the
suggestion of mouse or beetle.
She can smile over dinner of bread
and butter and tea, when that's all she
can get, and later on, when prosperity
is to the fore, she can turn up her nose
at any game below canvasback duck,
and wonder at people caring for any
thing but the best brand of Burgundy.
What can't she do? / will tell you.
She can never wear trousers with any
grace, and she will never be able to re-
sist either the man or the baby who has

PRACTICALITIES.

Over 1900 tons of raisins have already
been shipped East from Fresno, Cal.
The statement is made that eighteen
tons of steel disappear daily on the
London & Northwestern railway,
through wear and rust.
Owing to the low price of eochineal in
Europe, the trade in this article, which
forms the chief export of the Canary
islands, is said to be steadily declining.
An umbrella maker of Birmingham,
Eng, has perfected transparent um-
brella. which will allow the bearer to
see what is directly in front, and escape
being run into.
Shoes made to order in Italy cost no
more than those ready made. Pointed
toes are in general demand by both
sexes, and the women of Palermo are
noted for most ungraceful carriage,
which is attributed to the extravagantly
high heels they generally adopt.
The leading retail dry goods firms and
dealers in carpets and furniture, with
one accord say they are having an active
variable feature being the demand for
goods of first-class quality, which is
taken as indicating that the public has
plenty of money.
The shipyards of the Great lakes will
be busy the coming winter. Thirty-fiye
boats, of an aggregate tonnage of Vi, $50
and cost of 81. 653.S00 are now under
contract to be built, and the list will
probably be increased. The great
change from sail to steam, and from
wood to steel, is especially marked.
Carnegie, PhippS q Co., Of Pittsburg,
have begun the manufacture of steel
railroad ties, and an immense hydraulic
press turns steel plates into ties at the
rate of one minute. 1t is believed that
the question of perfect track, capable
of the highest speed, with absolute
safety, has been solved by this inven-
ton. ~
Paper as tough as wood is said now to
be made by mixing chloride of zinc
with the pulp il, the course of manu-
facture. 1t has been found that the
greater the degree of concentration Of
the zinc solution the greater will be the
toughness of the paper. 1t can be used
for making boxes. combs, for roofing,
and even, it is added, for making boats.
Probably three people out of five be-
lieve that artificial limbs are made of
cork; and at one time this was true
enough. but nowadays no good maker
uses cork at ALL Willow wood is the
basis of all well-made limbs, and as its
strength and toughness enable us to
make legs and arms hollow. they are in
reality a good deal lighter than the old
cork ones were.

Minimum of a Boys's Expenses

minimum OF BOyS'S Expenses.
There have been various guesses and
some attempts at figures to show what
it costs to feed boy, but there has not
been much encouragement afforded
those who have had the expense to meet
of growing the young male citizen. The
superintendent of an industrial school
at Toronto, however, has made an ac-
curate test. He had 1OS boys. all pre-
sumably with the full, adoleScent ca
pacity to absorb provisions. He states
that they were well fed, and the list of
articles in the schedule shows that they
had quite the usual variety. He gives
the-eost per week of each element of
food consumed. and finds that the aver
age to the boy is only Sl.07s4. This does
not include the cost of preparing the
food and superlntpndeDce. Something
was saved. too. by the purchase of the
chief articles of food at wholesale. Still
to those of large families and with linn
tied means there is encouragement in
the idea that boy can be fed at hardly
more expense than maturing swine.
1.-THE average boy can be kept in good
condition for less than $50 year there
will be more general confidence in the
wisdom of the Investment, and greater
disposition to swell the male element.
1t is probable that girls can be fed for
still less. They do not ordinarily eat as
much as the boys. There have been
dlscOuraging statements that $1,000 was
assmall estimate OF the costto the family
of pretty we'll grown lad. These Cana
dian figures may need little tariff adj
dition, but most articles of food are
grown at home, and they probably
approximate the real cost.

An amusing story is going the rounds
of the English press, stating that Har-
per & Brothers are the most orthodox
publishers alive. They had put, so goes
the tale, all of the hundreds OF pages of
''Robert Elsmere" in type, when they
discovered that the book was unsettling
i'm its character. When this dawned
upon them they immediately destroyed
the plates. Of course they could have
sold them to some less severe firm, but
they would not do such thing. One
would doubt, after reading this para

selves to accept any money for the old
