Female Perfection.

In the first part of the present century
there was published a clever little satire

The Groans of Timothy Testy aad Samuel

''Miseries of Fashionable Life" is a key
to Female Perfection" from which we
give some extracts

as may be from the game of whist, which,
without great care, may engender q man

as do not exclude casual sallies of elegant

There is a captivating method. more
easily conceived than described, of ap-

Botanically, the onion belongs to the
lily family. The odor OF the vegetable,
which is what makes it SO unpleasant, is
due to a volatile oil, which is the same as
that in garlic, though in the onion it is
milder, and, naturally, does not last long;
there are, besides, easy ways, if Ii only
knows them, of removing at once all I'M
~pleasantness from the breath. A little
parsley, or a few grains of coffee, or even
a swallow or two of milk, if taken after
eating, proves an effective remedy.
Boiled onions are the least Objectionable
in regard to odor, and are as easily
digested as any. The oil in the onion
passes off in the water in which the vege-
tables are boiled, and if the kettle is kept
closely covered and the water changed
after they have boiled five minutes, and
then again ten minutes later, there will
be no odor through the house, and the
onions will be white instead of gray, as
they SO often are. Besides being rich in
flesh forming elements, raw onions are
especially good for breaking up a heavy
cold; they are also stimulating to
fatigued persons, and are otherwise
beneficial.

They Have No Use for Democrats in the

WASHINGTON, April 9th-Secretary No.
bic is annoyed by the statements that he is
not in accord with the Commissioner of
Pensions Corporal Tanner, respecting the
removal of Democrats from office in that
bureau. He said: when / issued the
order requesting the heads of bureaus to
irst submit their demands for resignation
to me, had in view all bureaus. Commits
aioner Tanners ideas about this matter are
not one whit more radical than mine. He
is an able and excellent officer, and am
thoroughly in accord with him, even in the
matter OF making removals of incompetent
or inefficient Democrats and the selection
of Republicans. Neither of Us makes q
secret of the fact that in reorganizing the
Pension Office and the entire Interior De-
partnent. Republicans are to be preferred
lust as far as possible, in order that the good
of the service is not overlooked. We want
the best possible service, and in getting it
We intend to favor Republicans. That or
der was intended to apply to all branches
of the service which control"
The Secretary says that whenever the
service can be benefited by making a
change, by discharging Democrat and ap-
pointing Republican, it will be done, but
he declines TO say anything about the de-
tails of this policy He said that the an
nouncement that he said that Isl special
examiners in the Pension Office were TO be
discharged in couple of months was I'M
true, and that he never said anything of
the sort.
'As 10 Commissioner Tanner, in particu-

may desire" Secretary Noble denies the

CHICAGO WHEAT.
The Prices on Change Show Another
Heavy Decline.

CHICAGO, April 9th.-The course of wheat
was very decidedly downward yesterday,
and the bears had their innings continued.
May declined 104 cents last week, and was
selling around the opening this morning at
90@901e, a further reduction of DC. The
bears made raid little later on and sold
May down 10 SIZE, while June fell to SIC
and July to S44c, but subsequently May
sold up, 8Sc and July to sac. There was
no attempt to manipulate the market and
prices fell because crop prospects were bet
ter. About II o'clock another raid carried
July wheat, down to $50 cents offerings
being very large. The days business
was extremely large and the big longs
liquidated, generally causing good deal OF
weakness. AT the close May stood at S64c
and July at S3sc, showing decline for the
day of 5 cents on the former and q cents
on the latter.

TIE CONTRACT LABOR Law.
& Swiss Embroiderer Not Allowed to
Land at New York.


Land at New York.
WASHINGTON, April 9lh.- Secretary Win
dom has sustained the action of the Col
lector OF Customs at New York in refusing
to allow a Swiss immigrant named FLAG
to land, and as consequence he will be
sent home at the expense of the vessel
which brought him over. 1t appears that
FLAG came to this country in response to
an advertisement inserted in Swiss news
paper by George Baul, of Arascho, at the
instance of H. Borneman, of the Newark
Embroidering Works. 1t was shown that
FLAG paid his own passage money, and
had no contract with the Newark Com
pany. He, however, brought letter from
Baum to Borneman. saying he had en-
gagged him as embroiderer. He also adj
mitted he had made up his mind six
months ago to come to America and had
awaited himself of the present opportunity
to secure work in advance. The Collector
held that FLAG was prohibited from land
ing by the provisions of the contract labor
law
