Tine Boston labor organizations have taken
up the cause Of the working girl, and are to
begin crusade against the contractors who
manufacture ready-made clothing. II is
is asserted that these pay their female opera
tives, Of whom they frequently employ a
large number, not much more on an average
than So week; that the conditions under
which they work are exceedingly detrimental
to health, and that the work of ten hours
day on foot-power sewing machines is SO try
ing as to speedily undermine the physical
constitution Of the operatives. There are be-
lieved to be 5000 girls in the city of Boston
who work on ready-made clothing, and
whenever notice is given that contractor
desires more help he has many more appli-
cants for positions than he can employ.
At a congress of chemists held recently in
Germany DR.. Hoffman, of Cologne, proposed
a startling method for remembering of the
formula referring to the constitution of or
ganic compounds. The doctor introduced "a
ballet, the coryphee of which, dressed in diff
ferent colors, represented the various atoms.
Under his direction the atoms grouped
themselves in different attitudes, represent
ing the chemical compounds and their res
actions. The instruction afforded was
rendered more specific, and the effect greatly
heightened, by throwing lights of different
colors upon the scene. The learned profess
sors were greatly delighted by Herr Hof-
mans experiment, and pronounced in in-
struotive as we'll as entertaining.
In raising Egyptian corn, A. j. Allen, Of
Warnek, Dakota, claims to have had success
this season. He said: Isaw statement in
newspaper last season about corn having
been brought from Egypt by certain ex-
plorer, and wrote to him for some. He re-
sponded, sending me seven kernels, which,
he informed me, he had taken from an under
ground tomb near the bank of the Nile, and
that they were, like Mark Twain's mummy
5000 years old. He made no charge for the
seed, and thinking, as I do yet, that he found
them as he said, I cultivated them with care
and interest. Each kernel produced three
stalks, and on each stalk grew an ear about
eight inches long and two or three inches In
diameter. These ears are we'll filled with
kernels about the size of popcorn. The
stalks attained the size of our Indian corn,
and were soft and nice for fodder, even when
the grain ripened. think great deal of
the seed, and shall sow 1t next year on a
good sized patch.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The plan to reorganizs the Atchison rail-
road has made quite stir. The poor stock
holders In the road who have held on to their
stock are busily inquiring how they are going
to be re-organized.
Investigation discloses the fact that one
official charged with responsibility in the
distribution of the Johnstown relief fund Is
being paid $25 day for his services, the
smolument In question coming out of the
fund, of course. Other officials are being
paid in proportion. In the meantime the
fund hasn't been half distributed, and it
probably won't be distributed very fast as
long as the distributors can get euoh pay.
Sir Frederick Torny, who is over seventy
years of age, has returned to London after a
remarkable journey. During his sojourn in
South Africa he has visited the Kafirs in
their kraals, passed fortnight in the bush
without enteriEg house, interviewed Mr..
Paul Kruger, completely traversed the Trans
vaal and has travelled altogether just sixteen
thousand miles. He has,not had days ILL
ness since he left England. His journey
will stand as one of the most remarkable
ever made by man of his age.
It will perhaps, strike most people as some
what odd that there is steady importation
to this country of Irish jaunting cars. Ac.
cording to the carriage makers certain
number of enthusiastic Irishmen have a
yearning after their native form of::convey-
snes at certain periods Of their lives and
straightway send over to Ireland for car.
Once here, however, the cars are usually
laid aside after the novelty has worn off.
New York hackmen have occasionally ap-
peared on Madison and Union Squares with
the cars, but, although they are all right in
Ireland, they seem decidedly uncomfortable
in this country.
Emile Zola is comparatively young man,
not yet having reached his fiftieth year.
Says q recent observer: His countenance
still gives an impression of youth. For that
matter his entire personality reveals an as
tonishing vivacity. He talks with charming
volubility, and becomas enthusiastic himself,
to resist the flow of his images and thoughts.
His face lights up most expressively. His
