Who Fares the Best.

A common expression among
members of building and loan asso-
Citations is: "It's good institution for
investors, but poor one for men,
bers." If the system cannot, on
close examination, disprove this
statement, then it must of necessity
finally become obsolete.
To disprove this assertion, the
case of Mr.. Phyletes, OF 7S4 Daw-
son street, a borrower, will be
taken. He borrowed $2,o and
bought charming residence in the
suburbs, within easy distance of his
business downtown. Heis paying
into the association $22 per month,
including payments on shares, in
terest at per cent. And prem
ium of 20 cents per month share.
Ten years from to-day the lot on
which the modest house now stands
will alone be worth from ST., 900 to
$1,000, if not more, owing to the in
crease of the population and the
building up of the city about him.
If the series in which he borrows
natures in eleven years, then his
mortgage will be cancelled and he
will have paid $40 into the treas
ury of the association. But his
rent paying will have ceased for
ever, and he can then put by $22
a month in the bank or elsewhere.
Now, then, there is Mr.. Cosmos,
of S47 Jubaback street, who is an
investor in the same association,
and who believes that to remain an
investor is the thing to do. He
deposits $Io month on ten shares
which, by the way, is an excellent
thing to do because it is accumu-
1ating a snug sum, and, added to
this, it is earning compound inter
est month by month.
But then Mr.. Cosmos is paying
$40 a month rent now and his fam
lily is growing and as he is proud
man as the years go by, he will
have to pay more. AT the end of
II years, when Mr.. Phyletr's
mortgage is wiped out, Mr. Cosmos
will be handed $1,000 in cold cash,
but which will make a very warm
shock rush up and down his spinal
column, and why not? Of that
$4,000 he will have paid into the
treasury from his own earnings
$I,32o. But if he continued to
pay only $40 month rent he will
have paid in II years 5000 and
lost $64o, because he did not bor-
row, besides having to commence
eleven years later to own home,
that is, providing he spends the
$4,000 to buy one, and then he
must commence in the suburbs
many miles removed from Mr..
Phyletr's residence.
Now, then, which is the best off,
the borrower or the investor? OF
course, they are both better off
than Tewsmart, who knew better
than to join any building associa-
ton, and who, at the end of eleven
years, has paid out $2,65o and has
nothing but wrecked furniture and
a wrecked family.-ZHriff

There is no longer any doubt
about the reelection of John King,
of Passaic, the Republican candi-
date for assembly in the Fourth

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
NEW YORK, May l6, 1890.

Editor woman's Chronicles; " ~ -'''
A leading physician in New York has made the
startling statement that women as class are no.
torious liars. He then proceeds to assert that
physician in questioning woman as to the symp-
toms Of her malady, uses his own Judgment as to
the truthfulness Of her answers, and makes his
diagnosis therefrom rather than from her asser-
tions. He then quotes a supreme Judge some
body, who agrees with him and says it is possible
to get the truth by vgilant cross questioning from
male witness-but from female witness never.
their evasive answers are not to be foed and thew
are proverbial prevaricators.
The distinguished and dsagreeable doctor il

which deprives it Of its breath for the nonce Then
it looks for argument in defense.
Let us not lose ground by appearing AZ tbe de.
PENDANT. We can muster all our forces behind St.
Paul. who is the acknowledged authority on the
woman question. He has been successfully used
as snutfer before now to extinguish some of the
loftlest sentiments in favor of woman's advance
ment, but now al last we find him on the woman's
side in his opinion on the subject of liars, We
will lnscrbe his sweeping statement, backed IN bv
the Old Testament prophet on our banner and
with the effrontery and arrogance of Pod snap

from the face of the earth.

SOME one, evidently Rip Van Wrinkle Of more
than century, writes to the st. Louis Sunday
Republic of April Is, asking: ''Is there any
record of woman ever inventing anything? II
SO, what was tt"
Viola Vaudeville, in the Sunday Republic of
May II, gives this bsnghted seeker after knowl-
edge the following items:
The wife of the fourth Chinese Emperor (who
lived before the coming of Christ, invented spin
ming Engraving of the present day is the result
Of wood engraving first invented by twin sisters,
Cunio by name. A straw working machine by
Miss Betsy Metcalf, in 1885, from which originated
the straw hat and bonnet industry Catherine
Littefeld Greene invented the cotton gin, and her
husband only improved or enlarged her plans.
The Burden machine, which makes it possible to
finish 1900 shoes every hour, and which the attor-
neys claimed, when a renewal of the patent was
applied for in 1871, had saved $32 900, 900 from the
time of its adoption in 1871 space of fourteen
years-should have Mrs. in front of the Burden.
The best reaper and mower in use owes its supe-
rorty to Mrs. Manning, of Plainfeld, N. j. The
Eureka Street Sweeper, invented by lady Of Ho-
boken N. j., and so the list lengthens until it
would be impossible to enumerate all the useful
inventions of women. One clever little woman
stood watching the coopers at work making bar
res, and invented machine that simplifed and
expedited the work. Many of the inventions
patented by women are for use in the home, where
she has felt the need of labor-savlng machines;
but the scientific world has been benefited by her
keen eye and clear brain, as for example, the deep
sea telescope, the invention of Mrs. Mather. By
its use the wrecks of vessels, their bottoms and
sides can be inspected without raising them.
And from the North American Review of Nav,
1885, the writer quotes the following imposing list
"Among recent inventions of Importance by
women are spinning machine capable of running
from II to 40 threads rotary loom, doing three
times the work of an ordinary loom volcanic
furnace for smelling ore; an improved wood-saw-
ing machine (steam) chair elevator; screw
crank for steamships; fre-escape; a woo-feeder

used by ships in distress; method OF deadenlng
sound"
The article closes with the following:
The 'method of deadening noise" casually al
luded to in four-word sentence in the quotation
above, merits much more extended notice. The
Metropolitan and other elevated railways OF
Gotham were running the people wild with their
deafenng noise Every inventor in The city and
vicinity, including the great Edison, were working
day and night striving with might and main, to
circumvent the ceaseess roar, when woman,
"poor, weak woman" stepped in with the long
sought method,
A we'll devised plan
Which must have dropped down from the skies
Her plans were adopted Immediately, and have
since been patented in all important countries Of
Europe. The lady's name is Walton, and the
Walton noise -deadener is known throughout the
land.
The British law makers, to whom Mrs. Walton
is best known as the inventor of smoke and odor-
consuming device, have congratulated her as being
one of the greatest inventors of the age. What
do you think of that? You, who wonder if wom-
an ever ''invented anything!" The machine which
sews the soles Of mems shoes, as well az the one
which polishes the soles and heels are the inven-
tons of women
The improved oil stove is the invention of col
ored woman living in Boston. At the New En-
gland Industrial Institute in 1881 she was awarded
gold medal for exhibiting the best oil stove in
vented by the exhibitor, but did not succeed in
pettjnp IL natanted until 1899
A machine for sewing ladies' shoes, the inven-
ton of wealthy lady of Boston, is acknowledged
to be the best and cheapest now in use. The lady
disposed of all her title to the patent in 1882 for
$150,0OO Yes, friend ''B,'' women have in
vented things, and have made money outfof them,
too.

Meteorological Department of the State
Agricultural Society, compiled by Sergeant
James A. Barwick, observer of the Signal
Corps of the United States Army, has just
been issued from the press of the State
Printing Office at Sacramento. The record
as shown for San Francisco is interesting.
The average barometer was 5000, or be-
low the normal. The highest barometer
WAS 30.37 and the lowest 29. 80, a range of
Loo. The average temperature was 57.9 the
highest being 50 and the lowest 80 degrees.
The prevailing direction of the wind was
southwest Total precipitation, So 81 inches.
There were 100 clear days, 1856 fair DAYS, so
cloudy days and 90 days upon which rain
fell. Three earthquakes occurred. There
were no snow-storms, and only three days
on which it Numbered and lightninged.
There were Is light frosts and IL killing
frostS. The average monthly temperature,
according to the observations made by the
signal officer of normal temperatures, de-
duced from three daily observations were:
For January 500, February $40, March 53S,
April 54.5, May 564, June 1874. July 5S5,
August $50 September 1913, October 592,

June was only .03. in July .01 and during
August and September merely a sprinkle.
The greatest amount of rainfall was in De-
cember, 1881 inches. There are but two
years that will compare with this last in the
amount of rainfall-1S61, during which
1927 inches fell, and 1867, when IS. "a inches
fell. The least rain noted was 740 inches
in 1850 and $40 inches in 1884.
TIE review contains, in addition to its
| meteorological data, number of original
articles that will be found of interest to
scientific minds and convey vast fund of
useful data.

Mission street last evening about o'clock.
On the corner Of Mission and Seventh streets
he met Joe Barry, a former chum,
but of late a bitter enemy. Maloney
at once announced his intention of
sweeping up the street with the
carcass of his erstwhile companion, which
course was objected to by the latter, on
the ground of inability to proceed. Maloney
at once Invested himself of coat, vest and
shirt and commenced operations in the
most approved prize-ring fashion. He was
interrupted in his sport by Officer Reardon,
who, after putting him in irons, dragged
him to the Southern Station and placed a
charge of battery opposite his name on the
register.
At the station he again showed fight and
created great disturbance by trying to
whip the arresting officer. He was at last
dressed and locked up in a cell
