Colombo Headquarters.
The only elements represented by
the concerns wherein the un-Ameri-
can petition has been planted are
hotels, tobacco, whiskey, anti
"Mormoni' Journalism and real es-
tate.
There is much ''Libernl" political
economy in this arrangement. At
the hotels transients can be induced
TO fix their names TO anything sub
sequent to an appropriate stufiing
with anti-' 'Mormon" hobgoblins be-
fore and after each meal. Cigarette
winters can be caught at the cigar
store, while beer and whisky swil-
lers sufficiently sober TO hold pen
can be persuaded to affix their
names for n liquid consideration.

Just why anything that requires

BERLIN, May 9Th Reichstag
was opened by the Emperor today.
In his opening addnss his Majesty
declared that the efforts TO maintain
the peace of Europe would be in
creased. He expressed the convic-
ton that he will succeed in con-
firming the confidence Of the Powers
in the pacific policy OF Germany.
He recognizes il TO be her duty to
protect peace by cultivating an
alliance for the purposes Of defense,
by perfecting her ornaments, for
which purpose n new military credit
will be asked. The Emperor an
nounced that measures would be
presented for improving tie eondi-
tiOn Of the working men.
The strikes during the year sug-
gested an examination Of the ques-
ton whether the existing laws ade-
quately took into account The justi-
fable wishes Of the workingmen.
Questions claiming foremost atten-
tions were those OF Sunday rest and
women's and children's labor fed
eral governments. Convincing pro-
posals at the last Reichstag might,
in their essential points, become
law without detrimenttoo other inter-
ests. Legal provisions for the pro-
lection OF the wOrkingmen against
the dangers threatening the lives,
health and mOIals were susceptible
Of amendment, as were also the
laws relative to the issue Of labor
regulations. The rules concerning
the workingman's books also re-
quired 20 be supplemented, with the
object Of assuring parental authority
in view Of the increasing insubOrdi-
nation among youthful working
men. A bill on this subject would
be laid before the Reichstng.
ANOTHER BILL
viii be submitted for tho better re-
gulation and organization Of indus
trial courts Of arbitration. The
Emperor continued: 81 trust YOU
are willing TO cooperate TO bring
about an agreement between the
legislative hodies upon the proposed
reforms, and thus take n significant
forward step in the peaceful
development Of the conditions Of
labor. 4 just solicitude for work
men constitutes the most efTec,ual
means by which to strengthen the
resources with which I and many
exalted are resolved 20 oppose with
unben ling determination any at
tempt to disturb the legal or
der Of things. In effect
Ing these reforms only suitable
measures will come up for consider
alton, rs can be carried out without
endangering the industry Of the Fa-
therland. Our industry only forms
a link in the economic work Of the |
nations competing in the world's |
markets / have therefore made n
point Of going about among the |
European States, whose economic |
position has the same character for 7
the exchange Of views regarding |
the joint recognition Of legislation |
required TO protect wOrkingmen. / |
most gratefully acknowledge the /
favorable reception Of my sugges-
ton by all the States concerned.

Just how the fashionable woman who appears night after night clad in a tulle dress, kid gloves and slippers, and pearl necklace, manages to es- cape pneumonia must ever remain Q problem to vex and bother the doctor and philosopher. These lovely creat1 ures are certainly endowed with great endurance, whatever may be said of their sense. Perhaps, as Carlyle said, "Vanity is warmer, than down, and pride rivals the robe of ermine." But to get at facts, the question was put to 8 pretty little creature, who never read a line of the sage. 'I don't feel cold at all," she said, "in evening dress. Just before dressing l bathe my neck, arms and shoulders in glycerine and rose water, and after drying with a coarse towel, Ihave my maid rub me down with alcohol. don't need this at all, but I do it to please papa.

A Clever Bishop.

A good story is told of Bishop Graf ton (Protestant Episcopal of the dio- cese of Fond du Lac. One of his first visitations was at Waupun, where there has been much church dissension in the past, and while there he was the guest of Mrs. Webster. After the prelate retired he was annoyed by 8 m, use in the roo n. He did not lie awake and wonder what could be done to abate it. He quietly arose, took the remains of luncheon which he had been enjoying, placed it on the top of a glass in the center of washbowl, filled tho bowl half full of water, leaned a photograph from the table to the edge of the bowl so as to give the mouse runway, then calmly went back to bed. In few moments he heard the pattering of the mouse's feet on the photograph, a splash, a few struggles and all was quiet. Then the worthy bishop turned over and slept the sleep of the just. As Mrs. Webster remarked the next morning: "Bishop Grafton will find no difficulty in governing the diocese if he can so easily handle 8 mousse"

CANAAN, CONN, WEDNESDAY. MARCH 26, 1890

Alligators are usually fayed under the shade of a spreading hickory, oak or other broad-leaved tree which can keep the sun from blistering the hides, and where these cannot be found the interior of the tent is used as an abba toir. On'y the sides and stomach are cut off, the heavy, broken scales of the back rendering that part worthless. The heads are buried until they rot, then taken up and the teeth extracted. These teeth are worth frvln $2 to $10 8 pound, according to their size and condition, being largely employed by jewellers for making watch guards, breast pins, and other ornaments. The carcasses are sometimes tried for oil, that being an excellent lubricator, good for cuts and bruises, and having fair Illuminating power.
 The hides are prepared for market by simply stretching and salGng them. they are then rolled into bundles and sold as '.green-salted skins." They sell by sizes. those under three feet being worth ten cents; under five feet, fifteen cents; over five feet, fifty cents; oyer seven feet, $1. UnusuaIy large peltries bring unusual prices, one which was exactly sixteen feet one inch long having been sold for $1O.
 Many alligator hunters trap otters and shoot plume birds whenever they get an opportunity ard naturally in- crease their income by this means, otter skins being worth from $1 10 $5 each and the skins of birds from ten cents to $1O.

When Woman Mails q Letter,

Femininity in the post office is an amusing study. In the matter of dropping simple, ordinary, white, everyday letter, for instance, she affords an insight into the character of the average woman. The 1ooker-on had nothing else to do the other day than to watch this little operation for 5 minutes. Out of 80 young women who went to cast their epistles in the slot, 22, by exact calculation, with drew the letter without quite letting go of it to scan both sides of the note to be every" sure the letter was se- curely sealed, properly addressed, stamped, and to be certain no one could look through the envelope to read its contents. Out of these p lad. .es three had forgotten to put stamp on their letter, and two had to add something to the addre ss on the envelope, while another carried of with her the letter she had intended to mail.-Roston Record.

Meaning of the Word Nee.

The misuse of the "nee" is a source of perpetual tribulation to- copy edi- tors, provincial "socie'y reporters" being especially prone to mournful disregard of it's real meaning. They have lazy but nevertheless strong i'm pression that it is equivalent to the ex pression "whose former name was," and they rarely fail to use the full name ill all its artistic completeness. Now, the fact is that "nee" is simply French for "born," and although the charming Mrs. De Lancey Jones may have been "born" an Edwards, she cer- tainly was not born ''Miss Jemima Ed wards" It might be really too plebe- ian for the provincial "society re- porter" to refer to s'Mrs. Jones, nee Edwards" but he might try. And he certainly should avoid the error of a rural contemporary, which recently praised the diamonds of "Mrs. sDc Lanocy Jones, nee Mrs. Will am Smith," How poor Mrs. Jones ever came to be born to state of widow hood the reporter neglects to explain.

What is the Color of Water2

The color of water, according to Professor Spring of the University of Liege, Belgium, the latest to investi- gate the subject, is blue when the water is pure and is seen in masses of sufficient thickness. All the varieties of color exhibited in lakes and streams arise from mineral salts in solution. Carbonate of lime, for example, gives a tinge of green. New York has green and blue lakes; the lake of Geneva is azure-hued; the lakes of Constance and Lucerne are gr-en; the Mediter- ranean is indigo; the lake of Brienz is greenish yellow; the Danube is blue; the Rhine is green, and the Mississippi is coffee -colored; but this last color is due to the mud, not to salts in solu- tion.

Glass Eyes.

The Paris trade in glass eyes must be a very rich one, for every week there are nearly thousand enamel eyes made in Paris. The important manu- lecturers, the scientific men, the artists of the profession, inhabit the Faubourg St. Honore and the neighborhood of the Madeleine. They travel all over Europe, and transport their manufac- lures to St. Petersburg, Vienna and even Constantinople. The sumptuous- ly furnished aalons in which they re- ceive their clients in Paris indicate con- nections among the wea'thier classes.
 They generally select a one-eyed servant, replacing the organ of which he is deficient with one of the best ar- ticles of their manufacture.

Broken Ribs Were Extra.

When 8 man gets sick or meets with an accident in Canadian lumber camp he neither expects nor receives any thing like good nursing. If he is patient, the men will do what they can; but if he shows disposition to whine, he is not considered worth any extra trouble. At Camp "B" two or three winters ago a man named Peters was hurt by Q falling tree-badly hurt. Tbe camp was forty miles from town or doctor, the snow three foot deep, and all they could do was to rub the man with whiskey and put him in his bunk. While no bones were broken, it seemed certain that he was internally injured, and that he could not live be- yond day o: two. Business was driving, and there were no men to spare, and after Peters had been rubbed down the boss said:
 "Now, Peters, you understand how it is; you'll probably die."
 "Yes."
 "Probably die within twenty-four hours"
 uYes."
 "And SO, you see, anything extra will be dead loss to me-"
 .sI see, but in case die you'll have manners enough to knock the men off for half a day, won't you? l also want a good square grave"
 "But Peters, we are rushed, and to do that will cost me $50 worth of time." ....
 "How much will you give me not ts dic?" ..-..
 ..I'll say $s5-that is, if you Il fore go funeral if you do die."
 ''That looks fair," said Peters { fter a little thought, 'sand I'll do it. Shake."
 They shook; and Peters set his teeth hard and determined to live. His only medicines were kerosene oil, whiskey and vinegar, and his only delicacies fat pork and bean soup; but in tn, ee weeks he was out and at work.
 "Couldn't you make it $3O?" asked the boss as he came 10 settle.
 "For why?" ......
 '.Because if you had died I should have had to wrap the body in 8 $3 blanket, and the boys would have in- sisted on drink all around after the job." ......
 "Couldn't possibly think of it," re- piled Peters. "After made the bar gain with you I found three broken ribs, and had to splice and grow 'em v

The British Speaker.

Speaker Peel, as he sits ill wig and gown, looks what he is, an upright, honorable man of f.ir abilities, not large enough 70 lead great party, but competent enough for the position he holds, where he has only to adhere to the rules of the House and be impar- tial. For this he is paid $25,00 per year and the use of pleasant house near Westminster, looking out over the Thames. The Irish party used to make the life of the Speaker an e. ceedingly unpleasant one, but since the Irishmen and Liberals have been pull ing together this has altered, and e position of the Speaker of the ancient House is not at all unpleasant.

Washerwomen of Madrid.

MdOflQS JlVcr OI OlSn-SOunO1nS name, Manzanares, is 8 spatter of wet from the Guadarrama Mountains in winter, muddy torrent in spring, a sand-blown ditch in the summer, and hardly capable sewer at any time of the year. 1t comes down from the cold, gray heights to the north of Mad rid, and winds half way around the city from the northwest to the south east. What water flows through it breaks in sandy shallews, forming in- numerable little islands and curiously bounded strips of land, all accessible by any barefoot boy or girl. Ten thousand women soak and splash and souse and beat the linen of Madrid within its scant waters every. day. Not an article of clothing is elsewhere washed. No o.her than these Manzan- ares lavanderas are permitted to labor as laundresses; and for three miles up and down the stream, from opposite the infantry and artillery barracks, cipe, past the windows of the Que n Regents apartments in ths royal pal ace, and circling around away beyond Toledo Gate, the moving dots of red and blue, yellow and gray, comprise this great army of Amaxpns, with arms and legs on them like tree trunks; with voluptuous breast4.rand shapely necks; hard-muscled and bronzed as Turks; the most arduous toilers, the wickedest blackguards, and withal the sunniest tempered souls in Spain.
 By 6 o'clock you might count from 5000 to 6, GOO of the strange creatures at work. The entire sloping, sandy banks are covered with drying poles. At this time of the year the water from the mountains is of icy tempera- ture. But it seems to make no differ ence with their labors. Here and there huge cauldrons contain boiling water. From time to time 8 trife of this is poured in the little hollow where each one tolls in the sand. and water; but this seems to be done more from habit than necessity. Each lavandera brings her own huge roll of bread, perhaps 8 bit of cheese, claspknife to prevent undue liberties from the struggling soldiery near as we'll as to use in cut ting bread, and, just before noon, they breakfast in huge wooden sheds n salt fish, potatoes and coffee, with mea- sure of red wine provided by the anna, duplicating this meal at dinner at 4 in the afternoon.
 They eat like animals, and the mo- ment their food is disposed of the tinkle of the guitar is heard, and you or any kindly disposed passer may dance with them as l did, until the thirty minutes allowed them for food and refresco lave expired. On these occasions every one dances, girls of 18 and wo- men of 80, and tho scenes along the Ma"z mares are very picturesque and interesting. But when tell you that one of these irosl-framed wenches must wash and dry ready for the
 "starching," which is done by the criadas in the city, pieces of linen equalling the cleansing O; seventy sheets, ill order to earn % cents pc day, the poetical sense in it all is with l the interested onlooker rather than with the drudging lavanderas of the Manz- anares. Pittsburg Dispatch.
