The reelection Of Herbert and Bovce

the Republicans in the Legislature from
the stigma Of delaying legislation for
purely partisan ends. There were no
charges against either Of these officers
except that they were Democrats. The
Republicans thought they saw a chance
70 break the custom Of re-electing these
Officers by putting in Republicans. Hap.

The German Society Of New York ha,
sent to Germany warning against the
immigration Of learned paupers" into
this country.
II has been the experience Of the SO
ciety in the past that certain long haired
philosophers, imbued with the idea OF
the savage condition Of the Americans,
have left their comfortable retreats and
beer gardens in the Fatherland in the
hope Of winning fame and fortune on our
hospitable shores. They stay here some
time, gradually sink lower and lower in
the social scale until tine German Society
is obliged TO send them back home
America in its present state Of educa
ton and culture has no need Of mediocre
Foreigners as its teachers. The first-class
and perfectly equipped scientific or elias
steal scholar will always find work Ia do
here. The rest had better stay on the
other side

Tho artist who accompanied George Ken
nan en- Lis trip through Siberia was engaged
one blistoring day in making a sketch Of a
group q picturesque Tartars. Stillother Tar
fars gathered enic;.bly around bin Is lie was
at work, Inspecting his umbrella, gazing Curl
ously at his sketch and walking about. As
Che Tartars were armed to the teeth the art
Isl thought it best 70 be aniable, and smiled
a broad and propitiatory smile upon the
party Whereupon the entire party smiled
broadly in return and showed great interest
IN him. He smiled again, more broadly still.
whereupon the Tartars came around in front
Of him and began TO 60 through the most
extraordinary antics, laughing still. The
artist gathered somehow that he was
expected to laugh, too and proceed
ed 70 CRAFTY their evident wish. The
more be laughed the more they laughed. and
several big Tartars came around in front Of
him and lay down on the ground, rolling and
tumbling. The artist laughed until his laws
almost cracked. The thing finally became a
little alarming, and calling his factotum and
Interpreter the artist babe him find out Of the
head man of the Tartar party what the Sc ex
traordinary antics were al about.
His excellency,n said the Tartar in er-
PLANTATION, 'slniled upon us and showed ms
something which we never saw before-teeth
made partly Of gold. And as the men of nv
tribe saw that his golden teeth were only to
be seen when he laughed they took all possible
ways TO make him laugh: and when they
rolled on the ground before him It was onI,
the better to see into his mouth and behold
the golden teeth. Boston Transcript.

MARRYING TOILETS.
Attractive Dresses Warranted to Win
a Husband For the Wearcr.

"You had better let me make it up
for you. I know you'll catch q husband
if you wear it right, and you can pay
the $50 after you're married. tell YOU
what it is, clothes are the best invest
ment young woman ever put her
money into"
That's what q Thirty-frst street mod
iste had to say to a brownhaired young
woman who wanted new dress she
could not afford, and this is what she
said to the writer.
This glrl here is not bad looking, and
if she were correctly dressed she
would be positively handsome. You
see she carries herself nicely and has
plenty OF good points, but very little
money. She is going oil to u fashinable
watering place with some friends, and
know if she lets me make up this GUS
tard moire as l wish it will be the means
of getting her husband. The toilet Is
worth $l10 and have agreed to let her
have it for $50. If she marries she can
pay me the $50, and if it makes no i'm
preston on the men, why then am
the loser. This talk about men not
caring what woman has on is the
worst kind of nonsense. They care a
great deal and care so continually tnat
they have neither eyes nor attention
for their questionable friends.
''If had an income of but $40 week
I'd put $15 of it In clothes. Why, sakes
alive! let two women enter a street car,
and the one that is best dressed gets a
seat every time. Clothes win, whether
you go to church, on a journey or only
to city shop. One need not make a
show of herself, but if she expects to be
noticed, and that's the first step to
being known, she must keep herself in
dress. You're not married, are you?
But you go out good deal, don't you?
"Well, I've piece of India salmon
brocade here that I'd like to make you
for 800, and if you don't ensnare mans
affections the third time you wear it
I'll allow you rebate OF 800"

1T MAKES HYPOCRITEs.
Prohibition Is Not Successful In
Towns of Over 10000.

SIN no city OF 10000 inhabitants or
over has prohibition ever proved q
SUCCESS" said Robert Ellis Thompson,
professor of English literature and po-
litical economy at the university of
Pennsylvania, to a reporter for the
Philadelphia Record. s'It conduces to
cheating and trickery, and makes every
man either hypocrite or a detective
OF hypocrites, causing deterioration
of the moral tone of the whole COM
munity. 1t is all very we'll to argue
that prohibition is necessary, though it
will not prohibit, just the same as a law
against theft is needful, although it
does not absolutely prohibit stealing.
Whenever | shall find in moderately
sized city that the law against stealing
has been broken 1000 900 times in one
year, / will agree that the law had
better be removed from the statue
books. The prohibition law was broken
100000 times in year in Boston, and
/ take that as sufficient evidence OF its
impracticability Unless public opinion
stamps law with its approval, that law
is of little effect.
'Comte's 5 maxim that nothing can be
abolished until it is replaced applies ad-
mirably TO the saloon. Until some other
social centre shall have been provided
the saloon must continue TO attract its
thousands. | believe the establishment
of cheerful coffee houses, where men
could congregate TO read, smoke, play
games or converse, would do more for
the destruction of the saloon power than
the most stringent prohibitory meas
ure. The majority of men drink not
because they enjoy it but because they
crave sociability. They can find II
only in the saloon, and their drinking
is merely an incident. Their homes
are unattractive, and they must have
some place to spend their evenings.
Until society shall furnish substitute
this class OF men will not permit the
saloon to be destroyed. Legally or IL
legally, they will frequent IT.
