Even the simplest law transactions
seem to be beyond the comprehension
of some people. An old countryman
went into grocery store a short time
ago. ordered ten dollars worth of goods.
and, when they were wrapped for de-
livery, laid down silver dollar in pay =
ment therefor. The shopkeeper called
out, Here, this isn't right!' as the Gus.
) toner started to leave. "Oh, yes, that 3
all right!' replied the man. I've got
permission from the Judge to pay ten
cents on the dollar. A heated discus
sion revealed that the man had lately
settled an insolvency upon ten per
cent basis, and expected to continue
that method indefinitely. When he
was shown his mistake, he was very in
dignant, and evidently considered him
self much abused man.

FACTS ABOUT MOTHS.
They Multiply Rapidly, but Light and Air
Will DestI " Them.

Will Destr y Them.
1t is now clearly defined fact that
there are three dist lct species of wool
destroying moths mmon in this coun-
try. The common species are light
brown in color. tt ~ begin to appear
late in April and may occasionally be
seen fitting about as late as August,
says the Upkolstersr.
They pair off and the female then
searches for suitable places for the dis
position of her eggs, working her way
into dark corners, Gre vices of the walls,
cracks in the floor or deep into the folds
of garments, apparently choosing by in
stinct the least conspi 'uous places.
The moth lays from eighteen to 40
eggs at time. From these eggs hatch,
in a period from three to seven days,
the white, soft Larvae or worms, all of
which begin to make case for them
selves from the fragm ents of the cloth
upon which they feed. The case is in
the shape of hollow roll.
The worm reaches its full growth in
thirty y-six days, and then, crawling into
some yet more protected spot, remains
torpid during the winter in its case,
which by this time is tbickened and
fastened at either END and is the full
sized cocoon.
1t is the thirty six days period from
the time the eggs are laid to the time
the worm or grub reaches full size that
the damage is done.
After thorough airing of a woollen
fabric for the purpose of driving out
any concealed moth-for moth abhors

you may be reasonable sure that there
is nothing harmful on the fabric, then

Cause of Wrinkles.

If man or woman wishes to pre-
serve good looks and avoid wrinkles in
the face, he or she must wear glasses
when exposed to the suns rays. The
wrinkling of the face is an involuntary
action of the muscles to protect the
eyes from flood of binding light.

LONDON, Feb. GA telegram yesterday
from Paris announced that it was true that
it was probable that France was nearing
the end of the little war which she has been
carrying on in Sierra Leone with the Ma
hommedan King Samory. In 1887, it will be
remembered, this potentate placed himself
by treaty under the protection of France.
and, although the origin Of the quarrelis not
definitely known. 1t is understood at Sierra
Leone to arise out of difference of
view between the contracting parties az
to Interpretation of the treaty. samory
alleges that he believed that ne simply
made a trading agreement involving no
sort of political consequences. In. the
letter recently addressed 6y Lord
Der of Commerce it is admitted
that the terms of the treaty are unpalata-
bic to Samory. and the expedition sent
against him is for the purpose of enforcing
it The Telegram received says that two
fortified villages have been captured and
that Samory has again been put TO flight

that most of them hardly know how TO

years of age. and a great favorite in her

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Attention was the
other day called to the fact that although
the present session of Congress has con-
sumed two months, but three bills had been
adopted by the House. There are now
nearly nine thousand bills upon the records
of the clerks document-rOom, and the pros
poets are that the entire number of meas
ures which will be introduced at the pres
ent session of this house will exceed by
two or three thousand the number intro
duced into the previous Congress, and
there are those who believe that the sggre-
gate of bills which will be introduced in
the present House will number over
5000. Usually the per cent of
the bills introduced in Congress
which become laws varies from six to nine.
and there have been more than 10 per cent.
of the aggregate measures proposed which
have become laws. In the last Congress
about 5 per cent. of the bills introduced
were found upon the statutes when the
term expired. 1t looks now that there will
not be 2 per cent of the bills proposed in
this Congress in law hen the term expires
on March 4. 1894. In the matter of the in
PRODUCTION of bills in Congress the Demo-
Gratis are proving themselves as demagogi-
cal as they are in prOclaiming upon the
hustinRs during their campaign, when all
sorts of promises are made. but mono full

Gratis for many years to simply introduce
measures and promise final action, but by
prearrangement, to defeat final action.
there being u double aim in this policy. In
the first place il contemDlates an
expenditure of public funds to enforce
most of the legislation of Congress-. In the
second place great many members are en-
abied to retain a hold upon their constit-
uents by continually promising this and
that legislation. the consummati0n OF
which would deprive them Of most of their
political capital. Some of the billie which
have been introduced since this session
convened in December last have been upon
the calendars of Congress for many years.
Some of them. for private pension legisla-
tion. have received favorable action at the
hands of the pension committee and have
appeared every two years for more than q
decade. 1t would be easy to secure final
action upon n large number of these bills.
Bet by continually promising legislation,
and carefully preventing 1t, the dema-
gogues are enabled TO retain their hold
upon those directly interested.
