have observed them closely for nearly
twenty years. Ihave seen them come
in shyly with their mothers when
they were fifteen years old,
ard / have known them to
bring their children in with them ten
years afterward. have known many
hundreds of society girls to marry and
take up housekeeping within a few
weeks. and / tell you now that, de
spite the newspaper wits and the
army of people who write about that
of which they know nothing, the
number of fashionable girls who are
now failures as housekeepers is mimi
tesimal compared to the number who
succeed. | should like to know, by
the way, the reason for assuming
that, because a girl happens to be
high spirited, clever, ingenious and
interesting, she should become a fail
ure as a housekeeper. These are the
qualities that win in housekeeping as
other duties OF life, and American
girls are loaded up to the eyes with
them.n

Inc fkcutstEtCtiHE
Certain Republican critics have
been nagging at Alderman 2. ii.
O'NeilI and the other Democrats in
the Board because they refused to be
begged or bluffed out of passing h
redistricting resolution. One goes so
far as to liken Mr.. OiNeill to Car
Reed because he intimated that h
majority would exercise its right by
passing the resolution whether the
minority liked it or not.
Now all this is sufficiently absurd.
We do not see why our Republican
friends should gnash their teeth SO
much over such a commonplace ordi-
nary event as the readjustment ofthe
Aldermanic line. Some years ago
they arranged the Aldermanic lines OF
this city and the Assembly lines of the
county so that the Democratic party
should be at the greatest disadyan-
tage. AS a matter OF fact the Demo
Gratis were in the minority in the
Board of Aldermen for a succession OF
years. Then the Republican majority
ruled things with a high hand, and, of
course, it was all right and proper and
lovely.
But when the Democrats through
sheer force OF the peoples will, and in
reversal Of the Republican gerry
mander, obtained the upper hand in
the Board, then the party, lately so
exulsant and SO high-handed, took to
kicking and whining in the same
breath, -begging for mercy and call
ing name according as its temper or
its selishness got the better of it.
The course pursued by Mr.. ONeill
and the other Democrats in the Board
was reasonable and proper. 1t twas not
unduly hasty, for it had in effect been
contemplated for a year, and the fea-
lures of the plan were well known to
the public. They had besides the
evident sanction and approval of the
Legislature. for the law under which
the Board acted was passed expressly
to meet the emergency here.
There has been more talk than
enough about this very simple matter.
We advise our Republican friends to
show a little decency if they have not
any dignity. We suggest that they
submit quietly to the inevitable. and
try to conceal their soreness from an
nnovrnnafhafio nnhIio
If they do not think the people APP
prove the changes just made, let them
go ahead and elect their candidates.
The true test OF the Justice of the
measure will be at the polls next
month.

THOSE FOOLISH FR0WNS,
After Awhile they Become Wrinkles
How TO Avoid the Creases.

Our women frown too much. In
any assembly may be found but one
or two foreheads unmarried by TINS
brand of u~ncontrol. The average
woman cannot speak two sentences
without drawing her brows more or
less fiercely together, raising them
into a musical staff, or comforting the
face in meaningless fashion; She
scowls when she is perplexed, STUD
ious, cross, surprised, cunning, n
ritated. argumentative, sad, ana "hen
she walks in the sunlight ,
She will not sit on q panel OF SIN
or velvet robe for fear OF creasing IL.
Wrinkles are creases made IN u
skin by repeated pressure OF q
folds together-yet she frowns all tne
time
Thin skin make fine. sharp lines
thick skins, heavy folds. some wo,
men are predisposed to anu
must be doubly careful. blonde an9
brunette, thin and fieshy, young
old are alike subject. The effect is in
ALI cases damaging to looks, discount
ing to beauty, and aging by seVeral
years.
Women frown in conversation to be
impressive. as they underscore their
words in writing, shake and nod their
heads in talking, and poke at things
with their parasols. 1t is the label OF
the national nervousness. 1t is part
and parcel of the great unrest and I'M
repose which mars so much that
would otherwise be beautiful in our
new Republic.
Why not establish ourselves into
anti-frowning societies, or clubs for
the prevention of disaster to beauty,
the office of whose members shall be
to watch one another in this matter,
who by means of the password Ne
fropcez pas les sourcils," OF a slight
motion of the finger over the forehead
may warn an erring sister OF her
senseless puckerings, and so prevent
the inevitable result?
Some wrinkles are n OF the
skin only. These are but compare
lively temporary and may easily be
ironed out by stopping the habit n
regularly and persistently rubbing the
skin crosswise. In chronic wrinkles
the flesh itself is creased and bent, u
these also may be e~radicated.
The effect in this case Is that OF a
bed which has been lain on a long
time without shaking up the mat
tress. Fifteen minutes two or three
times a day should be given to rub
bling, twisting and pinching the flesh
around the dent. This enlarges the
muscles; naturally the hollow is filed;
In addition, reliable skin foods and
tones should be applied to stimulate
and build up the tissues. In this
way the under structure is developed
and permanent %plumpness is the re-
suit.
Count the faces you see today that
are free from horizontal or vertical
lines, and then go and look in a mir

Arc,ant coin D,scovsrea.

Excavations at Marseilles IN Colbert
street have laid bare a collection OF
ancient human remains which seems to
nave been thrown there from an ancient
cemetery. Among the few coins discov-
cred is q of the second century before
Christ belonging to Marseilles. 1t is a
bronze piece, with an Apollo head on one
side and ON the other a bull tearing up
the earth with his horns. These symbols
belong to Phocsea in Greece, n were re-
produced on the tokens of the PhocBan
colony in GauL. A coin of Theodobert has
a cross with the inscription Theodoberti
Rex, and on the other side the monogram
of the King. A coin of Constantine was
also found, together with earrings, plates
of coats of mail, a bronze ring with a
glass bezel bearing a leafess tree. and
parts of a metal belt.-Phtddetphtd

He dropped the Nickel.

If you drop a nickel with a string at
tached, keeping the end Of the string in
your hand, have you really dropped the
coin ? An Iowa judge has decided in the
affirmative.
An ingenious youth in that State tied a
thread TO a nickel in a slot machine, got
what he wanted, then, withdrawing the
nickel by the thread, repeated the opera
ton until he had made q clean sweep OF
the receptacle's contents.
He was arrested on the charge of theft,
but the judge who tried him held that he
had committed neither burglary, larceny
nor robbery, nor even obtained property
under false pretenses.
He Ind merely done what the inscrip-
ton on the machine told him to do
dropped a nickel In the slot-and had kept
on doing 1t. Nothing Was said about
leaving the coin where it was dropped.
This decision will probably abate a null
sance.-Chtcdg0 Journal.

Bergen Has Lost His Head.

We are amazed at the way Mr..
Speaker Bergen is carrying on the
business of the Assembly, and we are
still more amazed that some of the
men who own him do not bring him
to his senses. The way bills have
been rushed through the House this
week has been simply scandalous, and
if it does not result in the discovery
of disastrous and ~disgraceful legisla-
ton, when it is too late for remedy,
we shall be greatly surprised. This
is the sort of reckless haste which
gives railways and pipe lines and other
corporations extravagant privileges
without compensation. This is the
plan of procedure in which the black
horse cavalry, the lobbyists. the
"agents," and railway counsel" and
other scoundrels who haunt the cor
ridors delight. This is the sort of pro
cedure that passes grade crossing
bills. land condemnation bills and all
kinds of outrageous steals, jobs and
grabs.
1t is true we favor an early adjourn
ment and a short session, but if this
is the price let US have a long session
and careful legislation by all means.
But Mr.. Speaker Bergen seems to
have completely lost his head. His
ruling yesterday, which he repeats
and endorses today. is far ahead Of
anything Gar Reed has promulgated.
Mr.. Reed simply held that where
members of a legislative body were
present on the floor of the House and
visible to the officers, their pres
ence might be recorded on the
journal to establish the presence
Of a quorum, even though they re-
Trained from voting. This, though it
had the rulings of Governor Hill
when President of the New York Sen
ate and of Lieutenant Governor Jones
of New York to back it, has been pro-
nounced bad parliamentary law by
all Democratic authority.
Now what shall be said of little Mr..
Bergen, who announces that if a
member is present in the Assembly,
and omits to answer the roll call
he may be recorded as voting in the
affirmative 1t will certainly be {
good idea for Dir. Jim Smith. and Mr.
Miles Ross and the other owners oil

DOUBTLESS Miss McCartin has the

Justice it is to propose to immure
them in a Newark reformatory, the
very name of which carries a stigma
with it.
We have no doubt the Newark
House of the Good Shepherd is an ad-
mirable institution. We are willing
to admit chat in it the girls might be
kept from evil influence. We Will
even admit that they would be much
better off there than in the County
Jail.
But what an outrage it is to hold
them at all. There is the point OF the
whole case. They both have places
to go to the moment they are released.
Then why send them on to a shamed
life as eliminates of a home for bad
women and girls?
