MRS CLEvELAND'S waltz a few even ings since with lucky Congressman Scott, the first she has indulged in since she be- came mistress of the white house, brings out the announcement that she is very fond of the giddy dance. Like her hus- band she has no prejudice against the waltz on moral grounds, but both deci- ded that it would be more dignitied for Mrs Cleveland to abstain from dancing in public. The president himself does not waltz, as his boyhood was spent in a domestic atmosphere that was not con- genial to terpsichorean exercises and his legs might not be regarded sufficiently elastic to carry his form gracefully through the whirl with young and lively partner

QUAY's reason for preferring to have Wanamaker at the head of the postotfice department than of the navy is easily understood when it is comprehended how enormous a patronage he could wield in Pennsylvania with his creature giving out the postotfices. There are 1S3 presidential postoffices in the keystone state, the salaries of which aggregate over $350,000 a year. The salaries of other postmasters in the state amount to over S1 ,000.000. There are between 10000 and 15,O00 persons employed in connection with these postoffices, and the total salaries paid amount to nearly $2, ,5OO, ,OO0 a year. With Wanamaker as postmaster-general Quay would wield enormous power in the state. He would not confine his influence, either. to the postofhce patronage of Pennsylvania. Matt generally knows on which side his bread is buttered.

THE work of booming young Mrs Blaine in her stage career has already begun. Great numbers of her photo graphs are being printed, her pictures appear in the dramatic weeklies, and much literature is being made regarding her. Her managers are constructing a play to fit her, for which she is indus triously fitting herself. She is likely to make as much of stir in the theatrical world as her father-in-law has made in the republican party.

WOMA,N'S WEAR.

Stripes are very stylish just now, especially for wraps.
 Sleeves to most 5ening gowns are full and reach almost to the elbow.
 Tartan stockings ill either wool or silk ara among the threats of the coming season.
 Badger in its natural light brownish yellow Is the correct fur to wear with black or suedA suits
 Some new French hats have the brim worked in chenille in a Japanese pattern alike on both sides. Homespuns from tho Isle of Wight, dear to the soul of Ruskin now appear in all the best London shops Brown bear fur is accounted wonderfully stylish for trimming cloth gowns of blue, green or mode. Many of the handsomest dinner gowns now made ill London are high in the neck and have elbow sleeves. Parsians now wear the hair in punches of curls low on the back of the head bat only for the theatre or opera.
 London not only allows, but approves of gowns of the brightest green, combined with pink or fine faint yellow. Seal plush wrought in very open embroid- cry and underlaid with pale blue satin is much liked for panels to cloth dresses in vari- ous shades of brown. Alpaca grows ill favor and in fashion. Those brought over for spring wear are in all sorts of colors, and striped and brocaded till | they quite discount the rainbow.
 The Psyche knot is the correct thing to wear with toque or round hat, and should be accompanied by pointed bang, waved and | frizzed, but not regularly curled. Full dress corsaces are higher than for years. Often they are only half low, and either V shaped or ronlpadour with filling of lace that comes up to the throat. Very yong women who have short hair l are much given to curling it very close, then combing it into mass of fluff and tying it with ribbon just below the crown of the l head.
 Cashmere house dresses have princess backs and jacket fronts, coming only to the waist, over a loose full vest that is drawn in by q ribbon and falls quite to the hem of the skirt. New York Commercial Advertiser.

THE Boston Camera club. an organiza- tion of amateur photographers, have talk en photographs of the various objects of interest in and around Boston. have pre- pared them for stereopticon exhibition and written out descriptive letter to accompany the pictures. These they propose to send out to other amateur photographers associations, hoping to receive in return similar pictures and lectures of other places. It is to be hoped they will not initiate a distinguished amateur photographer ill New Haven who secured photographs of girls in pri- vate life for the use of cigarette firms. Such pictures for the stereopticon with accompanying lecture might prove en- barrassing.

A GOOD TIME WHATEVER.

The adjutant generals recommenda- tion that the state appropriate S1O,OO0 in order to send a regiment of Connecticut militia to the centennial celebration of Washington inauguration in New York. and the favorable report of the military affairs committee thereon, will probably excite less opposition from the public than from the regiments of the brigade that cannot go. It is feared that there will be rivalry and jealousy among the regiments, and that bad blood will be raised among those who will be chosen to stay at home. So far as the Second regiment is concerned, however, which is the best fitted from the point of ex- cellence to represent the state, there would probably be no heartburnings, for 1t Is pretty certain that the regiment will in the spring make an excursion at it's own expense which will give the boys all the fun they want. It will probably be generally admitted that of the remaining regiments the First would bring most fame to the state, but any one of them is sufficiently expert in mil itary tactics to creditably represent the commonwealth. It might not be bad plan, therefore, to decide by lot which of the regiments should be selected to make the excursion. Certainly in that case there could be no charges of favor itism or undue discrimination.
 But whatever regiment, if any, goes, the citizens of the state generally will join heartily in the wish that the boys will have good time while proudly up- holding the military reputation of Con- necticut.

NO PENSIONS THIS TIME.

The taxpayers or COnnectlcut are not likely to be called upon to pay pensions to the judges of our supreme and supe rior courts. The action of the senate in recommitting the bill to the judiciary committee is looked upon as the easiest method of disposing of the measure by allowing it to die an easy death in the committee. It is not expected it will again stick it's head out of the committee room.
 There is no reason for pensioning the judges of Connecticut. They are paid as well and better than the average of judges in other states of equal size and importance as Connecticut, as was shown recently by the Hartford Times. The states whose population most nearly ap- proximates that of Connecticut are Maine. West Virginia. Arkansas and Nebraska. Two of these states are slightly lower than Connecticut in pop ulation, while the other two are con- siderably larger. The average number of the judges of the supreme courts of those four states is four and a half, and the average salary paid to those judges is S2,691, the salaries being $e,50O in Maine, S3,000 in Arkansas, $2, 300 in Nebraska and $2,200 in West Virginia The supreme court in each of the four states delivers opinions in nearly two hundred cases per annum. The chief justice of Connecticut has a salary of $4 ,500, and each of his four associates has a salary of S4,O0O (with $500 a year for travelling expenses) and that court delivers opinions in not much over one hundred cases year. The state of Connecticut pays in salaries to the justices of its supreme court nearly $200 for each case ill which that court delivers an opinion, while the amount paid by the states of Arkansas, Maine, West Virginia and Nebraska in salaries to the justices of their supreme courts is only about $50 on the average for each opinion delivered by those courts.
 In so far as public opinion has disclos- ed itself on the pension scheme it has been almost unanimous in opposition It's principle is entirely wrong, involving as it does continuing compensation for services that have been already legally paid for. If it is right to pension judges it is equally right to pension ex-gover- nors and others who have rendered ser vice for which they have drawn pay from the state. We do not think that any suggestion of the propriety of pen sions has come from the judges them selves, and there is no reason to believe that they hold themselves in any way entitled to such consideration. Judges who may be dissatisfied with the emolu- ments of the bench, or who may be con- vinced that they can make more money in legal practice, can follow the example of Judge Stoddard and resign. Or again they might agitate the subject of higher salaries, which would be more in accord ance with our theory of government.
 If the judges can't lay by enough to provide for their old age, let them take the same chance as the average citizen. The doors of some public house will open for them.

SURELY IT CANNOT BE.

Reports are going the rounds that un- der General Harrisons administration trade reciprocity with Mexico will be re- garded with favor and may possibly be inaugurated. Senator Sherman, the ablest man in the republican ranks, has long cherished the idea of abolishing trade restrictions over this whole North American continent. but the exlgencles of the recent tariff campaign compelled him to hold his opinions in check. With many others of the party, however, it is believed he will attempt to urge his the ories under the Harrison administration, and it is claimed that the administration itself will do what it can in the same di- rectiOn.
 But surely this cannot be. Trade re- ciprocity is simply another name for free trade. And with the terrible de- nunciations of Cobdenism and Calhoun ism still ringing in our ears, with the awful pictures of the evil of free trade still before our eyes, with the prospect of ruined industries and starving work men that republicans held up as the in evitable result of anything approaching to free trade, General Harrison could not lend himself to any projects involving the faintest resemblance to it. For did he not say in his letter of acceptance that 'the important question is not so much the length of the step as the direc tion it takes?" That "the assault itself is the important fact?" No, perish the thought ! General Harrison can never take such a step in the direction of free trade as would be involved in trade re- ciprocity with Mexico. Such reciprocity would naturally involve extensions, and we would soon find ourselves nation of free traders.
 And General Harrison free trader Surely it cannot be.

WONDERS OF THE SEA.

The sea occupies three-fifths of the earths surface
 A mile down the water has pressure of a ton to the square inch.
 It has been proven that at depth of 8, 800 feet waves are not felt.
 The temperature is the same, varying only q trife from the ice of the pole to the burn ing of the equator.
 At some places the force of the sea dashing upon the rocks on the shore is said to be seventeen tons to the square yard.
 The water is colder at the bottom than at tho surface In the many bays on the coast of Norway the water often freezes at the bot tom before it does above.
 If box six feet deep were filled with sea water and the water allowed to evaporate in the sun, there would be two inches of salt left at the bottom. Taking the average depth of the ocean to be three miles, there would be a layer of pure salt 23O feet thick on the At lantic
 Waves are very deceptive; to look at them in q storm one would think the whole water travelled. The water stays ill the same place, these waves are forty feet high and travel fifty miles an hour-more than twice as fast the swiftest steamer.-Pittsburg Dispatch. SUPERSTITIONS ABOUT DISEASES.
 Earrings were considered sure cure for sore eyes.
 Fried mice were looked upon as a cure for smallpox.
 Ague was frequently treated with spider. asd oobwebs. Fright was also looked upon as 0 euro for ague
 Warts, it was averred, could be cured by rubbing bacon on them, the condition being that the bacon would have to be stolen.
