Lime Water and its Uses.

Juvenile Murderers Guillotined.

Some little sensation was caused re.
Gently by the execution in front of the
gate of La Roquette of two juvenile
murderers, aged respectively II and 81.
They had strangled an elderly concierge
in broad daylight in the Rue Bonaparte,
with view to robbing her. President
Carnot was dissuaded from sparing their
lives, with view to dispel current but
deep rooted impression among the youth
of the dangerous classes that it is unlaw-
full to guillotine infants" The one
hardship in their case was that fifty-nine
days were allowed to elapse between
their sentence and execution, and the de-
lay encouraged them to hope for COM
mutation of their punishment. They
met their fate with courage.-Cor. Lon

There is little girl up at North Ston-
ington, Conn, who possesses rare pres
ence of mind. She is Susie Bromley,
aged years. A few days ago, while in
her fathers barn, she put her hand into
the hay cutter, gave the crank turn,
and out dropped three of her tiny fingers,
nicely sliced off. Without stopping to
cry, little Susie calmly picked up the
fingers and took them to the house. Her
mother Immediately hitched up team
and drove her child to the family doctor,
who neatly attached the severed fingers
to the stumps. Though he took some
chances of failure in the operation, it is
now reported that the fingers are grow
ing on again beautifully, and the doctor

The Season Has Changed.

On Saturday, April 13, two red tulips
and one yellow one timidly unfolded
their leaves in the big bed in City Hall
park. On Saturday, April 20, every one
of the thousands of other red and yellow
tulips in the bed had followed the exam

blaze of color. Folks used to say that
the tulips never blossomed in this lati-

LANCASTER, PA, July 8, 1890.
Our Population.

The Lancaster census return Is proba-
bly, below the real number of the popu-
latton. II has been imperfectly taken
here as elsewhere. The population OF
the city is really about thirty-five thous-
and, as its vote shows. This In 1883
was 6, 7s7; which, at five people to the
voter, makes thirty-four thousand popu-
lAtion and the two years that have
since elapsed have probably added a
thousand to the population.
This ratio of five to one Is correct
one in the Eastern communities 1t may
be too high in the new parts of the West,
where there is larger proportion Of adult
males in the population and conse-
quently more voters. Philadelphia,
which is given 100000 population,
polled 205, 5,444 votes in 1883, which is
just about five to one. Chicago polled
but 172, ,67s votes, yet claims more popu-
fation than Philadelphia. At ratio OF
Ave to one she had less than 900, 900
population In 1883 and can hardly have
gained over hundred thousand since.
1t looks as if the population was well
CT ,hted otherwise she must be given
rs people to every one voter ratio
ISfhat if used in Lancaster would swell
its population to over 10000.

The Size Of the Family.

That is an interesting question, opened
by Mrs. Harrison for summer discus
sion, az to the number of members
which president may properly have
in his family. Mrs. Harrison says that
the president has the common right of
every American citizen to have as big n
household as he pleases and abstractly
she must be conceded to be right. But
the question comes in when the presi-
dent calls upon the nation to furnish
him house to hold his family and
when his wife, in default of such pro.
vision by the nation for the summer,
takes big house by the seaside as a
gift.
There are two questions here one
being as to propriety of the presidents e
wife taking gifts, which we do not pro.
pose now to discuss. If we did we
should be compelled to admit that it is
somewhat question ms to what manner
Of wife the president is endowed with.
II 1t 10 the kind that proposes to have It's
own way, we should promptly declare
that as the president is not factor
In, the decision, the question Is not
one for discussion. But the inquiry
that we find particularly interesting is
that into the size of the house that the
nation should build for its president.
This question has never come up before
because we have not had presidential
families with grandparents and
children, and sisters, cousins and aunts,
IN the profusion that blesses the Har-
rison family. Obviously there is some
limit to the duty of the nation to pro-
vide quarters for all the branches Of the
presidents family. Probably the line
Of the family must be quartered, though
IL takes in the great grand de-
grees. a line seemingly should be drawn
severely at the line leaving in the
daughters and sons-in-law, but putting
out brethren and cousins unless per.
chance vacant room of the family line
may be found for their accommodation
Theoretically a nation elects a presi
dent to the presidency but practically
II elects family to the White House
If there is limit to the accommoda.
tions of that house, obviously the family
elected must be limited or the house
must be made TO hold it unlimited. If,
then, president without family
should be elected, there would
be no one to fill the house
II the family should be small
it would be lost in the vastness OF
the dwelling, which would only be ap
propriate for a Harrison family. Ap
parently a constitutional amendment Is
needed making the size of the family M
element in presidential eligibility.

A Republican Halt,

The New York Tribune publishes an
editorial calling IA halt in pension ex-
travagance. When this most arrogant
and bigoted party organ is driven to cry
enough, the most devoted adherent of
Republicanism may believe that the
wusteful and demoralizing character of
pension legislation has not been ex-
aggerated by the Democratic and indie
pendent press of the country. The Tri-
bune shows its readers impressive facts
that have all along been plainly visible
TO those whose eyes were not blinded by
party feeling. The enormous proper
ton Of pension appropriations in the
total of government expenses, the aven-
ues left open for fraud and the unceas-
ing cIamor for more, more, from the
pension agents and political sharks have
long been familiar phases of the situa-
ton, but the Tribune is only now OPEN
ing the eyes of the blind and revealing
to Its readers the distressing state of
things brought about by Republican
recklessness and the more fearful dan
gers impending. 1t shows that hardly
sixth of the seven million male adults
who lived during the war are
now living, and of these over
third are southerners yet among
fraction Of the two-lhirds remaining
more than half Of the entire income of
the government is distributed in pen
sions. Well may the Tribune add that
further appropriations cannot be asked
without imperiling the continuance of
all grants for that object. The question
will soon be whether the extravaganza
reached under this administration shall
be permitted TO continue, and when the
Republican party is arraigned before
the people in the next national cam
paign this waste of the public funds, as
admitted and explained by Republican
authority, may form strong evidence
against them.

TO honor the memory of one who occupied
a high place in the history of the human
race and particularly In the history of his
country.
John Huss, the orator said, was the man

champion of what he thought was right
aud he died for the freedom of religion.

RUSSIAN camers hair appears Oh the
free list of the Mckinley tariff bill. As tho
bill passed the House it was also named
among thirdclass woods, while other
camols hair was in the seconded woods.
The Senate finance committee concluded
TO take Russian camePs hair out of the
third-class, but evidently did not know
that other camel's hair was both second
class and free, for they simply crossed out
the word Russian. The puzzle now is
whether camers hair is second or third
class or free. An easy and legal solution
is to charge the highest duty, but no one
can tell Just what Congress intended the
duty 10 bo. This is only one small sample
of the many minor defects of this remark
