and Reduced 1t One-Fourth. a
report having been circulated that q large
deficiency had been discovered in the adju-
tant generals department of Pennsylvania,
Adjutant General McClelland said last night
that there is no deficit, although all of the un-
paid bills had not yet come in, and that there
is nothing that reflects in any way upon the
integrity Of Gen. Hastings, the retiring adjutant
general.
Gen. Hastings says that when he went into
the Office four years ago he found a deficiency
Of $50, 4SS. 40 as a legacy from his predecessors
This had been accommodating from one admins
tration to another because Of the insufficient
appropriations Gen. Hastings reduced this
floating debt to S23, 273.68, besides meeting ex-
traordinary expenses during his term.
The facts were laid before Gov. Pattison and
it was decided to ask the legislature for an APP
preparation to cover the deficiency, SO that
Gen. McClelland may begin with clean sheet.

SIR ROBERT PEELss DAUGHTER.

Society has a way of ayenging itself for
the wrongs committed on the lowest of
all its members. Sir Robert Peel gave his
daughter a magnificent riding habit on her
nineteenth birthday. and, attired in the
embroidered gown, she rode side by side
with him in the parks of London. She
had scarcely returned home before she was
taken i'll with the most malignant form Of
typhus fever and in ten days was laid to
rest in the ch~urchyard. And the secret
was a very simple one. The poor seams
tress in a garnet in one Of the Sums, while
she was cmbroidering that garment looked
upon a husband shivering in the paroxysm
of chills and she took the half-inished
garment, and laid it over him; and the
garment took up the germs of fever, and
conveyed them from the howell of the
poorest TO the palace Of the statesman.
And so we are bound together in one
bundle of social life, and if we neglect the
poorest and the lowest. society will avenge
herself in the destruction of the highest
and richest of the cultivated.
The Monitor. [volume] (Woodstown, N.J.) 1884-1892, 1891-06-26

WOMEN WHO WORK HARD

We hear a good deal about a strong.
healthy man suffering if he works above
eight hours per diem, and about his hardly
being able to keep body and soul together
If he does not get 25s. per week. should
be delighted to hear that he got more aud
worked less; but l confess that ny sym
pathies are stronger for the women who
work far more hours and get far less.
Not long ago we were asked to sympa-
thize with the match makers. Observe
what is the fate of matchbox makers in
the East End. They nave TO make a gross
of boxes CAD for 24d., to provide their
own paste and string, and 10 dry the
boxes by their own fires. By working
hard all the week from I A. N. to II P.
NJ. they can earn from IS. 6i.to Is. sd.
Last week they were invited to a tea. It
was the first meal which many of them
had had during the day.
Most of them came with children in
their arms. Their aspirations were not
exaggerated. They wanted to be paid a
little better and to nave workrooms pro-
vidcd for them by the manufacturers who
employed them. London Truth.

MTCR0BE PANICs.

Modern Psychologists have made it more
than probable that the germs of some
forty different diseases pervade the atmos-
phere of our cities. as the '.meteoric DUST
OF Laplaee pervades every cubic foot Of in
terstellar space, and there is no doubt
that the dread of those floating messengers
of death has a good deal to do with swell
ing the yearly exodus 10 Europe and
Florida. But even without mentioning
the theory which aseribes the dissemination
of ng.diseases largely 10 the microbe-
dust of stufy railway-cars, it is probable
that the seeds of contagious disorders are
equally abundant in the jungle-iorests OF
our Western coast regions and in the art
galleries Of Paris and Venice. Microbes,
in fact, are wholly inevitable, bat it is a
consoling fact that new power for mischief
is almost neutfalized by the self-proteeting
tendency of a human organism not ex-
hansted by habitual sins against the
health laws OF Nature.
