NEWSY NOTES.

Nearly two billions of public debt have
been paid since 1868 by the United States.
The debt is now s9SS, 1880
Erie City is conSratulating herself over
the prospect that the census will show her
population to be over 10000.
Oil City is to have a new public building
erected, and John NJ. Kuhn, of Erie, has
the contract. He is to put up the building
and finish it for sls,5O0.
The friendship ring is the latest fad, and
if you are asked for a penny by any of
the girls, just bear in mind that il is for a
friendship ring, and shell out.
Corry's postmaster's salary as recently
fixed is S2,20c per year, and there are less
than a million Republicans after it, who
never had penny's worth of influence

One of the latest reported fads among
society bellies is to charge u hyperdermic
syringe with their favorite perfume and
infect the system the same as morphine
The result is immense, as the delightful
odor oozes from the pores of the skin and
fills the lungs. OF course, it is a detri-
ment to the health, but what cares the
crazy society belle for that2
The farmers all over the county are
very much sgitated over the appearance
of their oats. Instead of beautiful green
appearance which an oats field at this sea-
son of the year usually presents, most
half the blades are of rusty red hue and
apparently dead. Various are the reasons
assigned for their appearance. Some al
lege the wet weather and the hot sun as
the most propable cause and say the crop
will be a failure, while others claim to
have discovered a small black bug at the
root of every injured blade, and say that
the grain will Outgrow it.

Modern Literary chanccs.

The aspirant for literary honors with
pecuniary remuneration should remem-
ber that the most famous names in the
literary guild earned their money for the
most part in other than literary ways.
Bryant was an editor and publisher.
Longfellow and Holmes and Lowell were
Harvard professors. Emerson and Bay
ard Taylor were lecturers, and Taylor
was also a Tribune editor. Curtis and
Stoddard depend upon editorial salaries;
Stedman is a broker, and Halleck was
John Jacob Astor's private secretary.
And one might go further with this list.
Whittier began as IN editor, and only in
middle life attempted to lean on litera-
ture alone for a support which his early
savings and simple habits made possible.
1t was always Longfellow's advice to
young men who wished to be literary to
have first, and mainly, a vocation indie
pendent Of tho finer muse. If young
writer thinks he possesses genius he may
Of course experiment with it, but it will
serve his purse and peace Of mind better
to secure some source Of labor and in
como that is moro philistine and worldly
and ride his Pegasus only at inspired in
tervals. For it is fact, in spite of the
occasional big figures that are given as
the result of literary work, pure and
simple, that the men who prosper or
have prospered by that alone are only,
at any one time, few dozen in number
among our sixty-fve millions of people.

Loyo and Bald Heads

Baldheadedncss does not impair q
mans value in the ordinary affairs Of
life. He can buy or sell, insure, run q
bank or accept an Office, with not enough
hair on his head to make a first class
eyebrow; but when it comes to making
love to a girl it is very much in the way.
There is great deal of capillary at
traction in love. Girls adore hand
some suit Of glossy hair; it is lovely.
And when n lover comes to WOO her with
tho top of his head shiningl like creased
pumpkin, he is at disadvantage.
just as the words that glow and the
thoughts that burn begin to awaken in
her bosom q sympathetic thrill, she may
happen to notice two or three flies prom
enading over his chronological organs
and all is over. Girls are SO frivolous.
She Immediately becomes more inter-
ested in those flies than in all his lovely
language. While he is pouring out his
love and passion she is wondering how
the flies manage to hold OH to such q
slippery surface.-Christian at Work.

mrs, Haycs, Cont,

The telling of joke on ones self re-
quires more self denial than tho majority
of persons caro- to exercise. It has tho
advantage, however, Of hurting nobody's
feelings, and Of affording field for le-
gitimate exaggeration. The late Mrs.
Lucy Webb Hayes was especially fond
of recounting her own defeats and mis-
haps, as this anecdote, which she told
ono evening at dinner at tho White
House, will show:
'It was at our home in Fremont, one
evening in November, when without
any warning the thermometer began
falling and snowfakes filed the mir. l
was alone in the house with my young
est children and their colored nurse,
Winnie. The men servants had gone to
their homes before dark.
Suddenly thought of poor Christie
pher Columbus, our long haired, pug
nacious Angora goat, out in the pasture.
It seemed cruel to leave him there with
out any shelter, SO presently went and
asked Winnie to get lantern and come
with me.
"Atthe barn we found a great box, into
which we put some straw, and together
we rolled and pushed and carried that
box across the road and into the pasture.
christopher saw the light and came
toward it. We retreated behind the
fence, and tried to coax him into the
place Of shelter. Imagine our sentiments
when he mounted to the top of the box,
and there took up his abode for the
nightl"-Youth's Companion.

A New Zealand Waterfall.

A waterfall has recently been discov-
cred in the southern part of New Zea-
land which proves to be one of the most
remarkable in the world. It is exceed
ingly difficult of access, being almost
completely surrounded by chain of
snow covered mountains, numerous gla-
cicrs and superb lakes.
The highest of all the waterfalls whose
existence is known at the present time
is one in California, whose mass of wa
ter plunges down from height of $3.50
feet.
The next in point of height is the Orco
tall of Monte Rosa, in Switzerland,
which sends its water, in two falls, from
height Of about 2,40O feet.
The newly discovered waterfall in
New Zealand comes third on the list,
falling from q height of 1904 feet. This
waterfall has three falls, and the mass
Of water thrown is much greater than
that Of either the Californian or Monte
Rosa waterfall.
The fourth highest is in the Pyrenees,
and comes from an elevation Of 1,4OO
feet.
OF course every schoolboy and girl
knows that the greatest mass of water
thrown by any waterfall in tho world is
that Of our own Niagara falls.-Youth's
Companion.

Don't Wear n Soft Hat.

Iwrite against the evil of wearing soft
hats. Ihave made this careful study
and have found that the soft hat will
eventually produce badness. The band
of the soft hat being so soft and flexible
that it very readily falls into every line
and curve Of the head, it thus excludes
every particle Of air, thereby producing
an intense heat and rotting the roots Of
the hair. find that the healthiest hat
for q man to wear is the silk hat, both
summer and winter, not only on account
of the stiffness of the band, which pre-
ventsit from falling so close into mans
head, but because the space which is in
side Of 1t allows free circulation of air.
In England, for instance, there are not
nearly so many bald headed people as
there are in this country, even in pro-
portion to the population, but there are
great many more silk hats worn there.
The young men begin to wear them
there at the age Of 1S years.
To show you the difference in the pro-
duction Of silk hats here and in England
find from the statistics that England,
with a population of about 80, ,O00, 900 in
habitants, has employed in the manu-
facture Of silk hats about 1900 men,
while the United States, with popula-
ton of more than 10000, 900, has only
about 500. Can you wonder that there
are so many bald headed men here?-

Dnn's rorc,ble Arrumentat,ve Method


At the very outset of our adventures
discovered that tho Zunis are special
objects of Dams antipathy. Our guide
hates these Indians as a white man hates
n rattlesnake, and at times took measures
which, to say the least, were very forci-
BILE. While Jim was building fire to
get our morning meal Dan went to the
corral to look after the horses. There he
found big buck inside the inclosure and
without q word knocked him down.
Dams big fist raised q lump under the
Indians eye almost as large as the fist
itself, and during our stay in the pueblo
that Indian, whom we passed perhaps
fifty times, used one eye only. Wesaw no
fewer than five bucks similarly marked
during our sojourn in Zuni, and when
we went to Ojo Caliente the first Indian
we met, Antoniovico by name, had a
similar dis6guration upon his face, sus-
tained in an argument previously held
with Dan about a sack of oats.
expostulated with Dan about this lit
tie recreation. He looked sulky for a
minute and then said:
"Young man, I've lived among these
redskins for thirty-nine years and don't
believe you can tell mo much about them.
If get into IN argument with an Injun
and can't talk any sense into his head
hit him under the left eye and that set

ments with the same Injun. Amt that

Dressmaking in New York.

Dressmaking can 10 longer be regarded
as distincively woman's trade. At q
low estimate there are five thousand men
dressmakers in this town today. The
swell establishments in Fifth avenue
have host Of i1nitators all over town.
One shop in Orchard street is run by
man. The proprietor keeps two or three
figures in tho window dressed in the
latest styles, and one cannot help ad-
miring the way these dresses are made.
There is not the slightest trace Of shop
work about them. The basques have
evidently been cut after the French chart
system, and the most ingenious woman
could not arrange the draperies moro
artistically.
More men than women are employed
at this place. There is another estab-
ishment on Clinton street near Grand
which employs fully as many men as
women. They can be seen working side
by side from the street. Some stylish
garments are made there. AS a rule men
dressmakers are more thorough and art
istic than their female competitors. They
are also much more expensive. This diff
ference is especially true of East Side
dressmakers. Over there the women
take up dressmahng as a temporary
means of support or until they marry.
Among East Siders an old maid is an
unusual thing.-New York Press.

massachusetts Women in business.

A special from Boston says; "Part VII
of the annual report of the bureau of the
statistics of labor, relates to women in
industry as partners, stockholders and
employers. Of the 2s,2o5 partners in
eightythree industries, 1,76O are wo-
men; Of the 42,731 stockholders, II 1853
are women, and women are found in
twenty industries, as follows: Artists,
authors, boarding house keepers, clair
voyants, clerks, domestics, dress1nakers,
hat and cap makers, milliners, operatives
(nill and factory, printers, operatives
Sewing machine), physicians, seam
stresses, shoemakers, storekeepers, straw
and palm leaf workers, tailoresses,
teachers, teachers (music). The figures
given and comparisons made show con-
clusively that the presence of women in
industry has not decreased the number
of births or marriages, nor increased the
number Of Deaths"
The Dickinson press., 1890-09-13

One of the queerest sights is to see how
different immigrants carry their money.
Most English immigrants carry their
coin in a small case, attached to chain,
which they keep in a pocket as they
would q watch.
Lishlnen always have little canvas
bag in which notes and coin are crammed
together. Irish girls, on the other hand,
generally have their money sewed on the
inside Of their dresses.
Germans carry their money in a belt
round their waists, and the belt is usually
an elaborate and costly affair, no matter
how poor the immigrant may be.
The French mostly carry small brass
tube in which they can place forty or
fifty twenty franc pieces and remove
them very readily ono at time.
There are very few Italians who do not
carry large tin tube In which they
keep their paper money or silver coins,
and this tube is hung round their neck
by small chain or cord.
Swedes and Norwegians are sure to
have an immense pocket book that has
generally been used by their fathers and
grandfathers before them, and which
has in it enough leather to make pair
of boots.
The Slavonians and Hungarians carry
their money in their long boots, together
with knife, fork and poon.-Chatter.

She Surprised Them,


1--WE are accustomed to impudence," !"
says an English bookseller, "but the
other day woman managed to give us
surprise. She asked for particular
recitation, and after hunt of some
twenty minutes the clerk unearthed it
in q volume we sell for shilling.
''The woman seized upon it and sat
down and began to pore over 1t. The
assistant supposed she was going to COM
nit it to memory, but she mildly asked
if she might copy part of 1t. The assist
ant is long suffering, and he said Ger
tainly.' She thereupon asked if he would
lend her a piece of paper. That lend
was a dainty piece of euphemism, and he
handed over first class pad to write on.
"Then she modestly begged for pen
Gil, and when he had produced q brand
new one, she sat down and copied every
word of the recitation from beginning
to end. When she had finished, she
gathered herself up, and without word
walked off with her copy and the assist
ants new pencil" il."-Chatter.

Tho Nose.

Tho nose must be considered tho un-
fortunate member of the countenance.
It is bound to grow in any shape which
pleases a capricious fate, subject to no
rule or possibility of restriction. Its
prominence has often to be deplored, es-
pecially when the contour is something
that ono wishes to have hidden; for there
it stands, in the center of the face, more
prominent than a light house off rocky
coast, the first to catch the eye of a friend,
tho last to arrest the attention of a casual
acquaintance.
Unlike some of its fellow members, it
has no expression of its own, worth speak
ing of; and what it has is of tho reverse
order. The plain mouth may break into
G. smile to touch the coolest heart with a
gleam of sympathetic joy; the dullest
eye may light up with CLEAN of radi-
ance wholly unlocked for; but any such
attempt on tho part of this awkward at
tachment only ends in distortion. The
expression" of the nose is best in its
natural state and its normal condition.

A Boon to s,noker..

Many attempts have been made to SO
improve pipes and cigar holders that the
unpleasant biting sensation on the tip of
the tongue could be averted and the mic
otine prevented from entering the mouth,
but so far with Indifferent success. A
Scotchman, it is claimed, has now solved
the problem. His method is to provide
u hollow ball, with short tubular or
slotted stem attached to it, which is in
serted in the usual orifce in the mouth
piece of the pipe or cigar or cigarette
holder, so that the smoke shall pass out
through the tube or slotted stem and up
per slotted part Of the ball, and the
tongue shall rub against the ball in the
mouth Of the orifice, and thus prevent
the saliva of the mouth from going OF
working back in the mouthpiece.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.

Among the Zunis.

Curiosity seems predominant trait in
Zuni character. When we had reached
tho housetops with our Photographic
instruments there gathered about US on
the walls of adjoining pueblos scores of
boys and girls. laughing and chattering
at great rate. Further off, in little
groups. stood tho men Of the pueblo,
staring at us with sour looking visages
and evidently not at all pleased at what
we were doing. Big Dan was with us
and kept talking to them incessantly in
their own tongue, telling them that after
we had finished taking photographs we
would open big trade with them and
purchase all tho pottery and trinkcts
they had for sale, if tho price was right
