Town Life Cause of Degeneracy.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
The general unfitness and incapability of the
jewellers in our large hives of industry to I'M
dergo continued violent exertion or to sustain
long endurance of fatigue is fact requiring
little evidence to establish; nor can they toll
crate the withdrawal of food under sustained
physical effort for any prolonged period as
compared with the jewellers in rural districts.
1t may be affirmed also that, through the va
rious factors at work night and day upon the
constitution of the poorer class of town dwell
ers, various forms of disease are developed of
which pulmonary consumption is the most IA
miiar, and which is doing its fatal work in a
lavish and unerring fashion. Thus it may be
conceded as an established fact that the towns

of physical or muscular power of the body. the
attenuation of muscular fiber, the loss OF in

in actual stature of inch measurement The
true causes of this deterioration are neither
very obscure nor far to seek. They are bad air

Romeo Was a Chump.

From the Philadelphia Times
1t was at the performance of Romeo and
Juliet" at the Broad Street theater one even
ing last week. He came in late. The dinner
at the club had been a good one. He had
matched for the tickets and won and had de-
cided to sit for an hour or SO in the front row
and honor the play with his presence and his
criticisms. His knowledge of the Shakespearean
drama was not as deep a WELL and his appre-
citation of the lines of the play was rather
spoiled by his ignorance of the plot and its
final ending. Nevertheless, he had some ideas
Of his own, and after the balcony scene delivered
them as follows:

have to change his game pretty quick. In
stead OF walking around like q dude he should

Steamers in Collision In Gale.

THE CHIEF ENGINEER OF THE MONTANA KILLED.
4 collision occurred in the Patapsco river,
opposite Steelton, about 10 miles from Balti-
more, Saturday afternoon. The weather was
nasty, the sea was heavy, the wind stiff and
the rain continuous. The steamer Montana.
Capt. w. II. Williams, loaded with grain, -four,
lard, and 2l4 head OF cattle-the whole cargo
being worth $50, 000-was bound for London
but on account of the weather anchored in the
Patapsco at the point mentioned. The steamer
Main, Capt. Griffith, loaded with tin-plate
from London and Swansea. was coming up the
river to Baltimore. The wind had become a
gale and the was the heaviest of the sea-
son. In some way the Main ran into the Mon
tana, striking between holds three and four in
the after part of the ship. Water quickly
flowed into the holds and the engne-room and
the cargo was greatly damaged. Robert NJ.
Young, of England, the chief engineer of the
Montana, was caught by pulley derrick and
killed. Two of the crew were knocked over
board They barely escaped with their lives.
There was great deal OF excitement at the
time OF the collision. and il was at first feared
that several lives had been lost. Both steamers
belong to the Atlantic Transport line and both
are owned by the Baltimore Storage and Light
erage company. The damage to the Montana
will amount to over $4,000.

THE TROUBLES OF TIE PANAMA CANAL.-A
Paris dispatch says the debate in the American
Senate on the Panama canal excites ill-will
there. A friend of NJ. de Lesseps declares that
when NJ. de Lesseps, in 1877, asked the American
minister, Gen. Noyes, for an explicit statement
OF tie views OF the American government,
Gen. Noyes replied that, while he thought that
Americans viewed the project with suspicion,
he was unable to obtain an official statement
from the government. The Petit Journal states
that meeting of Panama canal bendholders
have addressed letter to III. de Lesseps offer
ing him the craftsmanship of new canal COM
pany to be formed by shareholders in the pres
ent company. Gen. Boulanger. in addressing
a deputation of Panama bondholders, said:
"You may rest assured of'my support"

The Matinee Girl.


DAINTY sNUGGERIEs FOR HER MONEY AND
OPERA GLASSES.
Where do you suppose the matinee girl car
ries her money? asks the Philadelphia Times.
and answers its own question as follows She
is tired of being told that the pretty silver
clasped pocketbook may be snatched from her
hand and she is beginning to take with avidity
to the newest thing in cash-holders, which is a
soft ooze leather bracelet, rather decorative
than otherwise, which has a receptacle for
change Just where the watch rested month or
two ago on the back of the wrist The brace
let is worn on the left arm. 1t has a simple
clasp, easily manipulated, and when car-fare
or bon-bon money is wanted there it is close
by, perfectly safe, and leaving the hands free
for other small burdens.
Another continuance which greatly simpli-
fies life for the matinee girl is small plush
bag which looks large enough to hold her
opera glass. But wait until she opens it. There
is the glass with its gold and pearl mountings
safe enough. There is also tiny compart-
ment for the silver bOn-bon box. another for
the purse, another for he silver and crystal
vinaigrette, another fer ivory tablets, vet
another for the lace handkerchief, and some
times still others for rose waters or powder
puffs. II is multum in paryo most of the luxu-
ries Of life in compact form. The matinee girl
would not like to stir without it, for little as it
is with it she is fully armed for the social fray

Curious Facts About Immigration.

that from Germany, and the immigra ton from
Italy alone was just about equal to that from
Ireland. We are informed that very nearly the
