LEGISLATION NEEDED.


 The action of the business men who have been holding ftbankruptcy convention" in St. Louis came too late to have any effect on congress. It is just as we'll, perhaps, that it was not held before, for the Fiftieth congress has been hard body to affect, and 1t might not have paid any attention to domonstra- ton in favor of a national bankrupt law. But the convention has called attention to matter which needs attention, and which will probably soon receive more than it has.
 State legislation concerning proceedings in bankruptcy do not at all meet the neccessi- ties of the case, but by reason of wide differ ences between the local statutes offers addi- tional opportunities for confusion and fraud. There are actually now some States where 8 debtor, without violating any law, can turn over all his assets to single creditor: and where this condition of affairs does not exist creditors who are outside the State in which the debtor resides are always at disadvan- tage compared with those who are within the State. The Providence Journal thus says: The situation becomes more unbearable as mercantile business spreads more and more beyond State lines. The only effective remedy lies in national law on the subject, ensuring uniformity throughout the States and giving to creditors, wherever resident, equal rights in debtors assets. The next congress will find an increasing pressure up- on it for action in this matter, for the move. ment in favor of bankruptcy legislation is getting more general among business men, and has even penetrated at last to the South and Southwest section, which in past years have been largely responsible for the failure of efforts at passing some law.
 Of course no law, national or otherwise, can make business men who fail honest, but law making proceedings in bankruptcy searching, regular and uniform will do much good.

Japanese Gospel of SILK.


 The shop.windows are already displaying goods for seaside wear next summer, and the much prophesied disuse of soft silk turns out to be mere fable originated by the cotton spinners. The organdies and muslins and lawns of few years ago were all crisp and pretty and Duchess-novel-ish, but warranted to get limp and wrinkled after an hour of moonlight sauntering or monday picnicking here is vast advantage in the summer fnery that is succeeding them-soft India silks and bengalines, and the dainty challies, in which wools becomes an airy, fairy material that does not know how to wrinkle. Dressed in one of these friendly materials, ''sweet-and twenty" may stay out on the piazza after din ner, or even stroll down to the beach or into the maze with her latest trophy, and come back to mamma looking as if she has been no further than the billiard-room or down to the end of one of the corridors. And if she wants to come to town for week or two, one of the Indian silks or bengalines-dark blue or sage green or cinnamon brown, with the innocent looking white figures struggling over it's surface-can be rolled up in her travelling bag and worn to the theatre the same night without betraying any more signs of recent compression than "sweet-and- twenty" herself does after 8 waltz. We are all becoming converted to the Japanese gos- pei of silk just as those mistaken people are beginning to discard it. Ne girl dares l to go to her best dressmaker-we all have several grades of dressmakers. of coure-and go through the ordeal of being fitted without | her silk petticoat, even if she is reduced te cotton for the rest of the week; and if she if up to the latest wrinkle-or rather, the lates ! lack of wrinkles-she will be all silk from | head to hosiery.

UNCLEAN, UNCLEAN.
The Horrible Disease of LeprOsy a

The Horrible Disease of LeprOsy as Found Existing In Canada. From the Ottawa Correspondence Albany Union.l From report made before Parliament it appears that there are 19 Iepers confined in the dominion lazaretto at Tracadie, New Brunswick. During the weak two new cases were admitted frem the surrounding country. No effort appears to have been made by the government to arrest the terrible disease, which is reported to be spreading in British Columbia.
 Last year one of the male lepers escaped from the institution to the United States, where he has been located by the dominion officials. The fear that he will spread the scourgeshas alarmed the local authorities on the other side of the line, where he is now living, and efforts are being made to induce him to return to Canada and end his days in the Iazaretto. The medical officer in charge
 of the institution says in his report:
 In very few cases the prompt removal of Ieprous persons to the hygienie influences of ! the larazetto has been followed by an arrest to the disease. The male patient that I dis
 charged three years ago remains outwardly
 free from it, and earns his livelihood as @ ' useful member of the community. A female
 patient from whom all manifestations of the
 | disease were disappearing I advised dis
 ! charging The latest case that has come to ! my notice is that of boy IA years of age, who, when 3years old, was attended by a 1 leproEs woman during the healing stage of @ severe burn. Leprosy afterwood made it's appearance, and he is now in an advanced stage of the disease.
 The contention of the dominion govern ment has always been that, once affected
 with leprosy, the disease could never be re-
 moved, and surprise is expressed that two af- fiicted patients had been liberated.

BADFOR BLONDE HAIR.
The Natural Gas,Changes Golden TFesa
 M uafv

es to musty Black.
 Natural gas has made enemies among ls- dies. Blonde hair has had much to do with it. When burning gas is introduced ints the same apartment with blonde hair and allowed to remain there, the peculiar action of one upon the other will develop. Some ladies arc not attached to their hair; this Is unnatural. Most of the fair sex glory in their hair; that is natural. But, weather natural or not, in either case, hair of golden hue always suffers from association with natural gas, according to the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Notwithstanding this affect, there is an af- fnity which draws the two together, and blonde hair cannot escape the influence of it's ardent plague when the two come into intimate relations. The effect is impercepti ble at first, and it is only after certain period Of close association that the pernic- ious and utterly demoralizing influence upon blonde hair is apparent and the hitherto un- known character of the deceptive gas is dis covered.
 The insidious influence seems to be exert i've at first contact of gas with blonde hair, although not Immediately noticeable upon the latter, and lays hold upon every fiber of
 
 sertive until the victim imperceptibly gives way and the work of ruin has so far pros gressed that any effort to free blonde hair is futile, and the end Is accomplished in the utterly blackened character of the beautiful victim.
 To be more specific, the vapor, impercepti- bIe to the naked eye, generated by the gas, attacks the golden tresses, whether wig or in a state of luxurant growth, and gradually darkens the hue of blonde hair as long as the influence continues. The vapor is ammonia, which can be seen on the glass in room where it rises. It combines with the sul- phur in the hair chemically, which produces sulphur of ammonia. Where the chemical action is strong enough the hair would be- come black. This is plausible.
 A Penn avenue physician, in speaking of some of the effects of heat from natural gas, yesterday said:
 ''The use of natural gas has been general topic of complaint with large number of my patients. am not prepared to say that deafness is on the increase, but natural gas, as it is now used in dwelling, has decided tendency in that direction. The great trouble is this: The gas is turned on to such an extent that very high temperature is obtained and maintained throughout the day and night. This at all times is unhealthy. The heat is entirely without moisture, that will naturally dry up the delicate mem branes, produce a dry catarrhal disease which very materially affects the ear and throat, produc ing both hoarseness and deafness.
 "With coal it is different. There is a cer- tain amount of moisture given out in the combustion along with the various degrees of heat obtained. Of course, any heat is dry in the abstract, but when combined with steam or any moist substance the effects are very different. A number of my patients declare that the gas has made them deaf. That can only be as have said, because the excessive heat dries up the membranes in the

 Such.
 We have never yet heard of wine mer- chant auixotic enough to deal avowedly in Limitation wines," says 8 London journal, or even to inform his customers that the cham pagnes and clarets, sauternes and burgundies with which he supplies them at so many shil- lings dozen, were imported into France for conversion from Spain, Italy, Hungary, Greece, or even far California. It is stell less agreeable, from the purchasers point of view to reflect that those so-called wines were manufactured of all sorts of heterogeneous in- gradients at Hamburg, the headquarters of continental falsiication-a city in which more ''vin de Bordeaux" is annually produced than in the whole department of the Gironde, ! just as more "Havannahs" are fabricated than go to three times the entire yield of all the Cuban tobacco plantations. With re- spect to those malpractices, heavy charges. we regret to say, only too solidly founded on | fact, have of late been brought against the | wine trade, by persons manifestly well &C., | quainted with the hilarious msnouvres in | which growers and shippers, importers and retailers alike, are lesgued together with the common purpose of defrauding the consumer | Their victim being the only honest man con. nected with the whole transaction-that is, ii | he pays the wine bill-is necessarily at the l mercy of so formidable hostile coalition, aud is fore-condemned, so to speak, without | benefit of clergy, to exchange good money foI | worthless wares, deliberately palmed upon him under false pretences.
