The boldness and ingenuity of the
dealers in Chinese women know no
bounds. No sooner is the merchants
wife device blocked than they try a
new scheme. They supply wo-
man with papers declaring that she
Is sole trader, merchant In her
own right, and that she actually
hires her husband to aid her in
business. The absurdity of this
plea lies In the fact that no Oriental
would recognize woman in any
transaction, but these fellows count
on the favor of the commissioners,
to whom every Chinese admitted
means n good fee.

A REGULARITY about the blind Is
that there is seldom one Of them
who smokes. Soldiers and sailors
accustomed to smoking, and who
have lost their sight in action, con-
tinue to smoke for II short while,
but soon give up the habit. They
say that 1t gives them no pleasure
when they cannot see the smoke,
and some have said that they can
not taste the smoke unless they see
II. This almost demonstrates the
theory that II you blindfold man

A Taste of Luxury Once a Year.

A hoary-headed old tramp, rich
with the experience of years, reaped
rich harvest yesterday. Leanin g
heavily upon his staff, he would APP
proach a polling-place. An embassy
would hurry forward to receive him.
He would remark that his old limbs
We're chilled and he would warm,up
bit before casting his vote. Borne
into a saloon, he would then be treat
ed to the warmest and best potions
In the house. By-and-by he would
say; "What district is this?" and be-
ing answered would exclaim: "Ah.
| am in such district" and then
march slowly away to work other
places in the same manner. Buffalo

THE war on trusts in Missouri
seems to be carried on with great
vigor. The state recently passed a
stringent law against the union of
corporations for the sake of monopo-
lizing any branch of trade or manu-
facturers, and In enforcing it has
declared forfeited the charters of
about 1000 corporations that refused
to obey 1t. A legal battle will probab-
,ly follow over the validity of the
law, and If the state authorities be
upheld there will be more respect
paid to the law In old Missouri.

ABOUT fourteen miles from Pitts
burg, Pa, at the little village o
Harmony, may be found the rem
nants of one Of the most peculiar
religious communities ever estab
lished in the United States. Early
in the present century, aboutL1S12
a number of Germans, under the
leadership of George Rapp, laid out
the settlement. Their aim was tc
follow the example of the apostles
as related in the Acts of those per
sonages in the Holy Scriptures
With this end in view they estab
ished community and held al
property in common. The family
relations were sustained for q mum
Der of years, but finally the entire
community became celibates, the
husbands and wives living apart
AS u natural outcome the popula-
ton of the little village became less
and less. Gradually the children
that were children grew up to be
men and women, and the commu-
nifty became absolutely childless.
No shrill screams of the babe in
arms, or happy laughter or romping
thoughtless children was to be
heard IN the apostolic community.
Mothers that had been mothers
forgot their maternal instincts and
grew old before their time. Mai
dens, who in most any other part of
our broad realm would have had a
bright and joyous future before
them, faded into shadowy old
maidsand more shadowy old women
almost before their dresses had been
in manner suitable
to be worn by the matured female
sex. At one time the community
over 1000 souls, to-day
the entire population consists of less
than 80 decrepit old men and
women. While rapidly vanishing
from the face of the earth, the COM
prospered wonderfully in
way. In early times they
bought vast tract of timber land
solely TOR the wood and lumber it
In after years this same
tract was the center of the oil pro-
iucing regions of the Keystone
State.

IL is remarkable what changes are
wrought in the opinions and sentiments of
men by little time and little hunger for
public Office. In 1872 Mr.. Whitelaw Reid
said in q lecture in New York
When we come to esteem the direction of
8 great newspaper that has seen dozen
administrations rise and fall, ard may out
live many dozen vet, as far higher than
any four years. Office any administration
can bestOw; when we rigorousig require
that the man who wants to hold Office shall
quit trying to be an editor and devote him
self to his vocation, and when there shall
be no relations whatever between the CIV
eminent and the press, save honest pub
licity on the ono hand and candid criticism
on the other, our journalism will at last
have planted itself on its true plane.
