tivity, sort of boom years, followed by
panic in 1891 and depression to last
several Years. He was not brilliant
success for 1889. but perhaps next year
is to have the fat meat. But all sorts OF
prophets are losing their grip of late.
A MAGAZINE writer says there are
two dozen women in America who have
more money than any of the rulers in
Europe except the severely economical
queen of England, and several of the
number could match figures with her.
Some of the richest of them are
unmarried. and would, if welded, be-
from thirty to thirty-five years
of age. They are able to sup
port husbands, but are not inclined
to allow their benevOlence to run in that
channel. There are girls who get NOR
good out of life on 80 week.
MOST people think they do their
breathing about as the apparatus of
nature was designed to operate: but this
deluSiOn, according to modern by
giPniStS and refOrmerS. One of the OBJ
iectS of the physical culture regime
Is to teach how to breathe. There can
not be full use of the physical capacities
without right lung exercise. The phys;
ical condition of the race would be
vastly improved if people generally
We're taught to breathe right.
PROBABLY every one of the legiSla-
lures to meet the coming winter will
have an opportunity presented 20 enact
ballOt-refOrm legislation similar to that
tested in Montana and Connecticut.
The trials had in those states suggest
some minor changes. but the main feat
ures are all right. 1t is reform not
lightly to be discarded after once put
in operation. it is immattrial whether
it helps any party or not if it promotes

A LOCAL scientist suggests that those
who care for the size of their coal bills
can save from % to 81 per cent 10y lit
tie pains in securing perfect combus-
ton. He says that last winter he made
eight tons of coal go further in his fur
mace than his next door neighbor did
fourteen. His plan is to secure good
draft and burn the ShakingS and ashes
till there is nothing left but little dust.
He always mixes little pea coal with
the coarse furnace coal.
In OTHER times Boston used to open
its obese purses and fill the pockets of
its representative but imprOvident citi-
zens at times when their finances re-
quired. Repeatedly was DANIEL WEB
STER helped out with $4,000 or $4,000.
Now, JOHN l.. SULLIVAN is reported
$4,000 in the soup. Here is an OppOr-
tunity fer his admirers to do benevo-
lent work. If JOHN would go round
himself with the hat, views of his fists
would cause it to fill.
THE Pan-American congress. when
celebrating TO promote more unity of
interests among the people who claim
right to remember COLUMBUS as d, Wis
itOr, should agree on Il common Ian
guage, pot a new combination device,
but one of the present and most used
ones. 1t would greatly facilitate unity
and fellowship if single language were
recognized for the continent. That
most widely used and progressive would
be the natural choice.
TALSIAGE is strong believer in
special prOyidences. and has often dis
cerned retributive features in great dis
aSterS. He has not yet pointed out an
occasion for divine wrath in connec-
ton with the burning of his tabernacle.
Possibly he may find 1t in the OppOr-
tunity afforded for the readers of his
sermons to repay part of their in
debtedneSS in contributing to the cree
ton of a new and more imposing edi-
flee. 1t may be Il hint that the Lord
thinks man of his caliber should have
a grander tabernacle.
One of the expenses of politics, es-
pecially in the large cities in Massa-
chusettS, is the payment of the poll tax
for voters. One of the parties in Boston
has the names of $4,000 of its voters
struck off the registry for nOn-payment
of this tax, and the committee has to
raise the money and pay it or lose the

ACCORDING to the figures given by
the authorities, Ireland now has but
4, III. 534 population. The numbers have
been growing less since 1871, when there
were over 100000, and the largest
figure ever reached. There seems to be
constant decline of 10000 or so year:
and still some don't think Ireland needs
home rule. Without some change. the
island will become virtually depOpu-
lated.
WHILE Miss WILLARD is labOring to
drive the blue rolls of tobacco smoke
out of the end of the palace car, the
ladies continue to Smuggle to their lairs
the packages of cigarettes, and the queen
of Spa has restored the Gig r to the
court dinners. and adds further en-
enlargement by remaining aud sharing
in the luxury herself. Possibly there
will yet be demand for a smoking COM
partment in the cars for ladies.
THE supreme court judges of New
York city have all agreed to change the
practice in divorce cases, as recon-
mended by the grand jury, and have no
evidence taken in private. This is the
outcome OF the FI.ACK case, and will
render it impossible to defraud woman
of her marital rights without her knowl-
edge. The rule will no doubt extend to
other courts.
THE Philadelphia News regards il as
fascinating story that WILLARD and
Hill. are to build that big railroad to
South America. 1t would hardly be
more romantic than the theory quarter
of century ago that they would COLI
