BUSINESS IS BUSINESS.

The old inquiry, What is mana assumes new meanings as Woman continues to mount upward and march onward. The other day we read of poor sentimental ist in the shape of @ man who was sued for @ divorce on the ground that he wanted to hold his beloved wife in his lap too much. She had other aims than "sitting around" in this way, and she wanted to be free from any possibility of being held down any more. We have not noticed that she has succeeded in getting divorce, but we hope she has. A man who thinks in these days that a woman's mission is to sit in his lap deserves to be left to sew on his buttons alone.
 Another indication of the emancipation of woman from weak sentimentality is furnished by the case of Mrs. Philip Beyer, of Minneapolis, who recently sued the man who married her for SIS, the cost of 312 meals, at 25 cents each, which she furnished him during their two years of courtship. She received judg- ment for only $50, which is clearly not enough. Twenty-Five cents is not dear for a meal seasoned with true love and perhaps prepared by the hand of beauty. She should have charged at least dollar a meal and the charge should have been allowed.
 Business is business. Perhaps by and by some progressive woman who has loved a man enough to marry him and get di- vorce from him will claim recompense in money for the time lost in loving him. h order to be prepared it might be well fol men in love to keep set of books showing | what little they can in the way of offset against the claims which may be made up, on them in the divorce court.

MT. John H. Leeds is evidently not looking for votes.
 Wheat, which was to be at least $1.50 in Chicago by this time is about 93. There is wheat enough in the world.
 A young woman in an Indiana town has had a rib fractured by the hard hugging of a sweetheart. She will not bring any suit for damages.
 It is not generally known that on an average about eight hundred messages are sent daily from New York to London be- tween the hours of 10 and 12. Although half an hour is considered a fair allowance for the delivery of messages within the city, messages are sent to London and re- piled to within four minutes. The result of this wonderful service is that the New York and London markets are brought so close together that either city feels the slightest fuctuation in the markets of the other almost instantaneously.
 Massachusetts has more free circulating and reference libraries than any other State. It leads the list with 176 free libra ries and eleven reference libraries. Illinois has 34 free circulating libraries, New Hampshire 37 of both, New York 35, Rhode Island S2 and Michigan 31. Neithe, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, Soutt Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis- | sissippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, nor Ken lucky has free circulating library although each has one or more free refer | ence libraries.

who ventured into the subterranean gar den found an almost Egyptian darkness and temperature of 50' to 52' Fahren- heit. The company began operations in August last and has already sold 10000 pounds of the succulent fungi The sea- son of field mushrooms lasts only six weeks and the St. Louis growers propose to meet the demand for the remainder of the year.
 A correspondent of one of the London newspapers directs attention to the won derful increase in the cotton planting in- dustry in Turkestan. American cotton was introduced there only few years ago, and in 1884, when cultivation was first begun upon considerable scale, the ex- port amounted to less than 10000 poods. Last year it amounted to 2, 2,700, ,000, and it is expected this season to exceed 3, 500, 900. At the ruling Moscow rate of ten rubles a pood, this comparatively new industry would thus be worth three millions ster- ling on the Russian market. At present, the whole of the crops have to be irri- gated, and the work of watering, planting, etc., requires 120 men per dessiateen (of 2.7 acres), in addition to the manual labor at the time of picking, When, by the in troduction of improved machinery, this enormous cost has been reduced, the cot planting industry will be much more profitable, and will increase much more 1.z
 A French journal describes the case of a woman 21 years old, but whose physi- ognomy is that of woman fully 70 years old. The appearance of the young woman is so deceiving that her father, who is only 50 years old, has frequently been asked if she were not his mother. The surface of the skin is the only part affected. The doctors describe it as a decrepitude of the cutaneous system Beyond this the young lady has nothing old apparently about her. Her hair is blonde and of ordinary length, and her memory, judgment and intelli- genee very good. Drs. Charcot and Souques, under whose observation the case was studied, state that the wrinkling of the girls skin began when she was about Il years old. Up to that time she had been vivacious and happy child, ranking well in her studies at school. The wrink- ling was so rapid that her friends were un- able to recognize her after period of two weeks, unless they had seen her in the in terval. Dr. Charcot states that the skin, during the early stages of the change, re- sembled the scales of fish. Every pos sible means have been tried to improve the young lady's condition, but they have all proved unavailing.

The Wrong Box.


 A freshman in a college in the city was anxious to mail a letter Having been told to drop it into the red box at the corner he hurried out of the build. ing and ran down the street.
 He saw a red box, but could find no opening in which to put his letter He searched for any possible direction on the box, and noticed in large letters, Ring twice
 He rang twice and waited to see what would happen, expecting door to fly open into which he could drop the letter Suddenly an open buggy dashed up, and man in blue uniform jumped out.
 Where is itT' he demanded.
 Here it is, thank you" said the freshman 'Please mail it at once.
 The fire captain looked at the letter and then at the retreating students figure. Then he dropped the letter into the box across the street, reported the alarm false and went back to the station. Youths Companion.

 A Now York dispatch to the Globe Democrat says: John Blakcly, who has a bar room on Broadway, opposite the Post Office, discharged his two English barmmds to-day because, he explained, 'the gentlemen jays" who visited him talked to the girls as if they owned them, For days he has been kept busy throwing the gentlemen ont into the street, and finally he called the moide aside, and weeping, parted company with them. The muids wopt, too. Mir, Blakely says barmaids will never he a success in New York, because men will never learn to act in bar room just as they do at home or in society. Col. Hayward, whose place is next door to Mir Blakcley's, chuckled when he heard of the fate of the maids. Then he smiled on his own four girls, and swore to protect each of them, Any one who treats my girls in any way but the way a lady should be treated be said, will have to pay for It. I've talked to my lawyer about the matter, My girls arc here to stay. And the girls smiled on the Colonel.

Becker at the end of the last cen. tury, was the clever engraver of mum, Der Of counterfeit Greek and Roman coins. To give the requisite surface Of worn age to his productions it was his ingenious method to ipclose his speci- mems in box containing a number Of iron filings and then to take the box out for drive or two on the iolting roads of tue day After Becker had supplied so large a number of his coun- terfeits as 10 almost glut the market he coolly turned around and confessed, and turned an honest penny by pro ducing sets of his dies, so that now there are few of our large collections that do not possess specimens of Becker's dies -Athen@um.

A man has just died in Washington who has been employed in the Trsasu- " Department for sixty.two years, having been appointed during the Jackson Administration. It was n Jackson's time that the doctrine ''lo the victor belong the spoils' had is rise. It is satisfactory to reflect, how ever, that better legacy from that far of period has been a faithful clerk, wht kept his place through the fifteen fol lowing Administrations and died in the harness.

 The argument of Secretary Tracy for srrying on with vigor the rebuilding f the American navy is unanswerable. To defend our coasts and our com .nercs. to protect the lives and rights of American citizens in foreign lands, to up-old tho honor of the Aag every where, is the imperative duty of ths Government. This cannot be done without strong navy. We need now, says the Secretary, two more big cruis- IF battleships like the Indiana; sec ond vessel like the New York, which is "the best all-around vessel of any type :'' a. least one torpedo cruiser, to be had by slightly increasing an existing ap- ~dpriation; four vessels of about 200 each for river service on the atic and South Atlantic stations; uy, an effective fotilla of torpedo $.

It has been for years n mystery to us why in the name of all that is human a man will pay other bills more promptly and with better grace than a newspa- per bill. There certainly is reason for this, and we propose to ascertain what the reason is before many more years roll by. We have been given what is yulgarly callod the finger act' long enough, and We now propose that the other fellows shall stand it for awhiit. Simply because a man or a management is cleverly disposed and does not crowd the payment at the end of the month, as is usual in other branches of business, is no reason why Le or they should be compelled con stIntly to look far into an uncertain future for the money that is due for work done.
