HOW THEY ssROUGHBDs IT.

 Way Each Summer.

From the Chicago Tribune
 They believed in "roughing it" for few weeks during the summer; they were proud of their ability to Trough it" with out complaining and they occasionally in vited their friends to come and see them "rought it."
 "The outdoor life does us so much good, !" said the mother.
 "Roughing it is such jolly fun," said the son.
 "The hardships add zest to life" said the daughter. t'Then the visitors looked over the place, and one of them said: Pretty little cottage you have" Designed by one of the best archi- tects in the country" explained the fsth- CT, proudly, ,i, ''a little crowded for three servants, per haps, but it has very convenience" "Nicely furnished, too," commented | another visitor.
 "Aren't the Turkish rugs prettyi" asked the daughter. The visitors nodded assent, but seemed puzzled. Finally one of them said:
 Excuse me, but-ah-where does the hardship come inf" The family was aghast, "Why, there's no clustering on the walls just plain wood," said the father. "And no stationary washstands," said the mother.
 "And no gas-only hanging lamps, said the son. And you can see the floor between the rugs, and it's not hardwood" added the daughter

Handsonae Woman.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
 Who is the most beautiful woman in Europea It would be difficult if not who'll ly impossible to answer that question un- der any circumstances, but the cable re- ports and letters from European cores pondents daily add to the difficulty. One asserts that the wife of Prince Sergius of Russia is untitled to the honor; another claims it for the daughter of the reigning house of Denmark, and a handsome wom- an this last is, too, and she comes from 8 family of beauties in their day; but still another correspondent nominates mem Der of English royalty, while another fay ors German lady, another an Austrian and so on to the end of the chapter. One of the latest claimants is the Com tesse Aymery de la Rochefoucauld, 6 Paris ian belle, who has attained distinction heretofore as being living reproduction | of Marie Antoinette, but it is only within | the last week or two that her admirers have laid claim to the still higher honor oi being the beauty par excellence. If heI pictures are truthful she is certainly 6 handsome woman, but whether everybody will unite in granting her this honor if
 another matter, there is such diff. ference of opinion as to what constitutes | beauty.
 However, if ancestry counts for any. | thing, she certainly comes from a family | whose women have always been notable for l their beatty. Comtesse Aymery is de. | scribed as a typical blonde with blue eyes,
 in combination with regular features. She
 is exceptionally bright intellectually, which | alone would have gained her fame in the
 best circles of French society if the repu.

many has shown greater intelligence. In 6 country with less than one-third of its population Catholic, it has succeeded, by the energetic activity of its press, in elect ing fifty priests-not to speak of Catholic laymen-into the different psrliaments of the empire, on issues directly affecting the interests of the Romish church. The means by which the success was achieved may be seen in the rapid increase of Cath olic journals in Prussis-from fifty in 1880 to one hundred and fifty in 1890.
 In the whole empire the number is now four hundred and fifty, with more than a million subscribers, representing five to ten million daily readers. Herein lies the power which has given victory to the Catholic party against the majority of the nation, under the lead of so potent an ad- versary ss Prince Bismarck.
 Mgr. de Kettlere, bishop of Mayenos, the eminent leader of the Catholic party who is also no less vigorous protectionist has said; ''If St. Paul were to appear in our time he would be journalist h

The Awkward Mistake of a Mus
 Teacher Who Was in Love.

Tho Awkward Mistake of a Music
 Teacher Who Was In Love.
 From the New York Pressl
 MT. W. V. Payne was for many years & worthy and excellent teacher of music. When quite young man he was teaching a singing class in 6 certain village. One member of the class was lovely young lady of about twenty years by the name of Patience Adams. Mir. Payne was very much attracted by the young lady, and in due time, as the attraction was mutual, they became engaged. Soon after the time when his attentions to Miss Adams began to be observed, and an engagement strong ly suspected, it happened on a singing night, when 8 full number was in attend ance, that MT. Payne, without any thought of the words, named for the opening eIer- else the tune, Federal Street." page sev- en-three of "Carmina Sacra." As both Miss Adams and MT. Payne were prime fayorites with all present, it will bs under stood with what good will they all sang:
 See gentle patience smile on pain,
 See dying hopes revive again.
 The gravity of the young ladies and gen. tlemen could hardly be maintained until the end of the hymn and the blushes of the young lady and the confusion of the teacher may be imagined.
 The latter, hastily turning the leaves of the book, while his cheeks turned deeper red and without a thought of what he was doing announced Dundee" page 123. It was sung as soon order was restored, but the climax came with the last lines:

 Oh, give me tears for others woes, And patience for my own. In few months after they were mar ried, and-then gentle Patience smiled on Payne, and Payne had Patience for his

The chinch bug may chinch and the grasshop- per hop, and the hot winds make you tire, but if anyone says there are such things here, just call him horrible liar.

 The deepest hole in the world, except that into which 8 man falls when he goes to jail for the first time, is said to be in Wheeling, West Virginia. It is we'll on to mile deep, drilled for gas or oil well and for scientific purposes turned over to the United States geological survey, which has made interesting tests as to tempera ture. With so good start, and in view of the scientific results, it would be we'll worth the Governments while to carry the hole down as far as the drilling tool can be made to operate. From the interest that has been taken by scientists in this well and the general desire to know as much as can be known of what lies below, it is reasonable to suppose that on proper presentation of the case congress would appropriate the necessary money.
 The use of patroleum as fuel for war vessels, and particularly for harbor de- fense and torpedo craft, has again been under discussion, and the advantages and disadvantages of this substitute for coal are once more compared. It is admitted that the cost of oil is greater, that special stations would have to be maintained for fueling, and, above all, that the advantage in point of safety is very greatly on the side of coal Indeed, the latter in the bunkers is a source of actual protection greatly relied upon for the machinery and other vital parts of modern ships, whereas petroleum would have to be kept as far as possible out of the way of hostile shells. Still, since oil will go nearly twice as far as coal, weight for weight, in making steam, it's advantage in fuel endurance for prolonged cruising is manifest.

PENNsYLVANIA TIRE EATENED.

NO wonder the ePennsylvanlal iron makers view with apprehension the iron industry of the new South. They have reason to. Colonel Carroll D. Wright, United States commissioner of labor, has been investi- gating the cost of producing pig iron and his discoveries are instructive. Taking twenty-six establishments in Pennsylva- nia and Ohio engaged in the production of pig iron, and having an annual output of more than 5OO, ,OO0 tons, he shows that, while the average total cost is S13 94 per ton, $11.73 of this represents the price paid for ore, cinder, scrap, limestone, coke and coal. In twenty-four establishments of the same kind in the southern states, producing in the aggregate more than 600,000 tons of pig iron year, the average cost per ton is $10.75, for the req son that the total cost of the materials is only $S.41 per ton. In other words, while the northern furnaces, where the pig iron costs nearly $14 per ton, have only mar gin of $2.21 to be distributed among wage earners, officials, clerks, supplies, repairs and taxes, the southern furnaces, where iron costs less than $11 per ton, have $2. 34 per ton to be divided in the same manner And yet, although the average price paid to labor at the southern furnaces is five cents ton higher than the price paid per ton in wages at the northern furnaces, the southern output costs $3 per ton less than the northern output. The
 same holds good when the continent of Europe is taken as subject for compari-
 son. The average total cost of ton of pig iron there, in the establishments em- braced in the comparison, is given as $11.O2, the cost of the material $8.84
 leaving margin of s2 IS per ton to be di
 vided among labor, officials, supplies, re-
 pairs, etc. The payment in wages per tor | is $1.4 in Europe-that is, six cents lesi per ton than is paid at the Ohio and Penn | sylvania furnaces and Il cents less per tor
 than the wages paid at the southern fur | naces.

 The commissioner of internal revenue is considering the expediency of dsternining the quantity of spirits in packages by weight, instead of by gauge. It is the i'm pression that the result will be more ben eicial one to the distillers, and will give the government much less trouble. The system of gauging is more or less insecur- ate, and frequently disputes arise over diff ferences in gauges by different men, even when they use standard gauge-rod. Sometimes considerable trouble arises from this cause, ss was the case several months

POWER OF THE PRESS.
A Catholic Bishop Thinks St. Paul,
 if Living, Would be a Journalist.

From the American Economistl
 The importance of the press as poiiti- cal educator is not confined to the United States, nor is it of recent origin, though it would seem that the republican masses and leaders of this country have for a time overlooked it. In the early part of our national history the leaders in politics made frequent use of the press to an- nounce their views or form public cpin- ion. During the violent controversies which agitated the several states pending the discussion of the proposed federal constitution of 1789, no greater or more benefcient influence was exerted in behalf of its adoption than the publication in the newspapers of the day of those masterly expositions of the constitution, by Hamil- ton, Madison and Jay, which have since been combined in the volume known as ''The Federaist." The letters of Junius which first appeared in London paper in the latter half of the eighteenth century, and which have since become part of the classic literature of England, were written to promote a political purpose. Napoleon, | at the zenith of his power, at the begin | ming of the nineteenth century, often tested the popularity of proposed meas | ures by submitting them to public criti- | cism in the Moniter. In our day 1t is known that Bismarck used the press-in | different parts of the German empire-to | advocate before the tribunal of the people his own measures, or to denOuncs those of his opponents.
 Just at this time the Catholic, or con servative, party in France is awakening to the fact that it is deficient in newspapers, having lost during the past year thirty six out of the five hundred and three papers which supported that party. During the same time the whole number of papers in circulation in France increased two hun dred and seventy-seven, or from 4,90l to 5,17S. A prominent conservative organ asks: "Why is the conservative party
 the majority of public opinion, represent
 ed by the smallest number of papers and
 by the smallest circulation" Should no

 the United States, ask the same question

ton of 6 batch of gaugers who were wrong ly thought to have been influenced by the distillers to give them the benefit of the doubt. The investigation did not result in the suspension or dismissal of any one, but, on the other hand, showed plainly that differences were likely to arise at any time by the use of the gauge-rod.
 Internal-revenue Collector Scott recently received letter from Commissioner Mason asking for an expression of opinion on the matter. MT. Scott has directed letter to all the leading distillers of this district asking them to give their opinion ss to whether the exact quantity of whiskey in package could not be better ascertained by weighing instead of gauging.
