ELEGANT FASHION BooKs.-The new
Fashion Journals, "La Mode" "La
Mode de Paris" and "Album des
Modes" published by A. Mcdowell &
Co., West I4th Street, New York,
are the most elegant of their kind ever
brought to our notice. The styles are
drawn by the best artists; and the
books are produced by rival houses in
Paris, each trying to excel the other
in the character Of its publications.
Formerly they were printed only in
French bnt they are now published
in English for the use of American
readers. The journals furnish the styles
one month in advance of any similar
publications and they have prdcti-
cal department, in which lessons are
given each month on how to make
dresses, etc. The admirable fashions,
the lessons in dressmaking, and the
giving of the styles one month earlier
than heretofore are strong points in
favor of these Fashion Books, causing
them to be called "The Favorites. "
These excellent publications can be
obtained from all newsdealers.

Does Politics Pay2
Does politics pay ?

ipOSo IIOiIti'S pay
There can be but one answer to that
question. Politics as a profession is
about the least rcmunerative Of any
known. 1t pays in honor-sometimes
in importance fame, love Of power
gratifed, but it does not pay in money
The earnings of men in Office are
surpassed at every point by men Of
equal ability out Of it. This is espec-
tally true of the higher places. Law
yers earn more than the pay of Judges
or Congressman. Bank presidents have
larger salaries than Secretary Fosters
or Treasurer Nebacher's. Newspaper
men earn larger sums than Private
Secretary Halford. The Presidents
salary is large, but so are his necessary
expenses.
There are financial claims upon Of
flee holders besides campaign asses
ments. Every ''worker" feels at liber-
ty to strike them for loans and seldom
thinks it necessary to repay. The man
who has the reputation for stinginess dos
emit get very far in the race. 1t is not
strange that Sam Randall and Judge
Kelley, life long political opponents,
both died poor. Hubert o. Thomp-
son, the sold man in the fort in New
York, died poor, John Kelly made
money in real estate, but not in poll
tics. Richard Croker, his successor,
is poor man to-day. The late Uni.
ted States Marshall Lake, of Brooklyn,
left the munificent sum of $4,000.
OF course there are rich politicians,
but they make their money in some
other way outside, and often or usually
spend far more than their salaries up
on official expenses alone as Whitelaw
Reid is reputed to have paid his entire
salary as Minister to France for the
rental Of his house alone.-Ec.

One OF Edison. 4. odd.t.e..

For several years the newspapers have
contained statements that Thomas A.
Edison is afflicted with deafness. This
subject has been exaggerated greatly. 1t
is true that the great inventors hearing
Is not as acute as it once was, but what
passes for deafness is largely mental alb
straction. Mr.. Edisons infrmity does
not prevent him from hearing ordinary
conversation. But when he is at work
he hears little or nothing, because he
purposely shuts out everything else but
the matter upon which he concentrates
his thoughts. I called upon him last
summer at the residence of his father in
law, the Hon. Lewis Miller, with whom
he was enjoying brief vacation of rest
and absolute quiet found him in the
nursery in the midst of bedlam, which
would have driven a nervous man crazy.
Several children of tender years were
playing horse" and the noise they made
gave unimpeachable evidence of the
soundness of their lungs. In the middle
of the room sat Mr.. Edison, before a
small table on which was graphophone,
with which he was experimenting. In
the course Of the half hours interview
which followed never repeated ques-
ton and did not speak above an ordinary
conversational tone. I expressed sur
prise that he could work under the con-
ditions in which l found him. "Oh,
that's the easiest thing in the world" he
replied. II don't hear anything don't
want to hear. That's all there is to it.

thing else. y Chicago Mail.

II Is Genuine TsngIefoot. aud Far Dif.
erent From the Good Old Brsnds.

More than one-half of the men that
are arrested for drunkenness and taken
to the police headquarters are crazy
drunk, said veteran officer in west
ern town. There Is something about
the whisky men drink nowadays that
winds their understanding all up, twists
them all up, and fumbles their ideas into
q shapeless mass he continued.
Now, years ago, back east, it was
nothing unusual TO see man get so that
his legs would all twist up and his tongue
would even get little thick now and
then, but he seldom got crazy drunk,
like men do nowadays. Why, just the
other day we had man up here that
had too much Of that Jackson street
whisky, and he was hysterical. He
could walk all right, but he would laugh
like maniac one minute and weep like
a whipped baby the next, and then he
would throw himself into an attitude
that would melt wooden man in front
of cigar stand to tears.
"This is great age Of improvement,
but I don't believe that they have inn
proved on the whisky Of our grand
fathers day very much,r and just then
the officer had to saw off his interesting
dissertation on whisky to 60 below and
unlock prisoner, but everybody agreed
that he spoke as an oracle.

A SON Answer.

A merchant in Alexandria had dis
pute with fallah, AZ a peasant is called,
about the settlement Of an account. The
merchant was determined to bring the
question to the court, to which the fellah
objected. Desiring to make last effort,
the fellah called at the merchants Office
one morning and asked the servant il his
master was in. The merchant, hearing
the inquiry, and knowing who it was,
called aloud from his office:
"Tell that rascal that am not in."
The fellah, looking up toward him,
calmly said:
"Well, sahib, God put thee in better
mind"
The merchant was struck with the
meekness of this reply, and, having
looked more carefully into the matter, he
became convinced that the fellah was
right and he in the wrong. He sent for
the fellah, and, after acknowledging his
error. he said:
~ want to ask you one question. How
were you able to bear my abuse with
such patience!"
"Sahib, replied the fellah, II will tell
thee. l was naturally as hot and violent
as thou art. knew that to indulge this
temper was sinful and found that it was
imprudent. observed that men in a
passion often speak loud, and | thought
that if could control my voice I should
repress my passion. / have therefore
made it rule never to suffer my voice
to rise above certain key, and by care
fully observing this rule have entirely
mastered my natural temper" r.

POULTRY NOTES.
No. 90.

Kill all the hens over three years
old, as they are too long moulting and
lay to little TO be profitable.
Poultry are now beginning to moult
and should be fed wheat and meat but
no con-as it is too fattening.
Although fowls do not lay much
while moulting, yet they should be well
cared for so that the moulting period
may pass the sooner and laying begin
again.
There seems to be no time Of the
year when it pays to neglect your poul-
try, as those that have the best care

An Actress Criticfxed to Her Face.


A good story is told in the Stuttgart
Neue Musk Zeittng concerning one of
the most eminent German actresses and
a theatrical critic, equally well known
to fame. A number of ladies and gentle
men were the other day travelling together
in a railway carriage from Dresden to
Leipsic. Only two Of the passengers
knew each other, but the conversation
soon became general, and the Court
Theater at Dresden became thesubject Of
discussion.
One lady who had been present the
evening before at the representation of
"Euryanthe was loud in her expressions
of disapproval.
"Worse than all, -she exclaimed, shat
Madame Schroeder is much too old for her
part, her singing is becoming unbearable.
Don't YOU think so, too?" she asked,
turning to the gentleman next to her.
"Would you not rather tell all this to
Madame Schroeder herself? She is sitting
opposite to ysu, he replied coldly.
After the general silence which followed
this remark the critical lady turned to the
actress with many confused apologies:
at is that horrid critic Schneider who
has influenced my Judgment concerning
your singing. believe it is he who is
always writing against you. He must be
a most disagreeable and pedantic person.
"Had you not better tell all this to M.
Schneider himselff" calmly asked the
actress, "he is sitting next TO you.

DANGEROUS BUILDINGS.
What the Law Has TO Say About
Their Erection.

For weeks past a force of men have
been engaged in the construction of a
wooden building and extensions in the
rear Of the Weldon and adjoining build
ings. There were already several frame
structures in the immediate neighbor-
hood. By the time the extensions now
under way are completed the centre Of
the block will be a connecting series Of
tinder boxes, menace to the entire block
fronting on Montgomery street.
Enquiry yesterday elected the informa-
tion that the new building aud exte nsions
are to be used as a store house aud fouu-
dry for the Jersey City Smelling Works,
whose establishment, built OF brick, since
1851 has faced on Plymouth street K. A.
Williams g. Son ars at the head of the
concern. The preparation OF the compo-
sition manufactured by this Arm requires
several smelling furnaces. in which burn
fires as fierce as thoss which blaz ed in the
Chaldean furnaces of old. The furnaces,
however. are mainly surrounded BY brick
walls.
The frame building already erected
does not appear to exceed the limits OF p
feet In height prescribed by the Board OF
Fire Commissioners. Recent minutes of
tnat Board show that Il. A. Williams 81
Son were granted permit TO erect a
wooden building and extensions at the
location mentioned. IL also appears from
the proceedings Of the Fire Board that
the application for the permit was held
by the Committee on Buildings and Com
bustibles for several weeks before 1t was
fovorably reported upon.
WHAT THE LAW SAYS.
Section 12l, of the charter OF 1871, which
has not been repealed by any section of
the new charter. readss--
