Coloring for Drugs.

Few people have any idea Of the
trouble that is taken in coloring high
grade chemical and drug supplies. It is
necessary to make the colors fast to an
extent hardly appreciable in other manu-.
factures, because if once a colored or
tinted perfume were to soil or strain a
handkerchief, the sale Of the article
would be very seriously affected. To
avoid dangers of this kind it is necessary
to do without many of the dyes and coll
oring matters which would otherwise be
Used. For delicate reds and carmine,
cochineal is mostly used, and for blues
about the only preparation is analine in
aome form. indigo not being suitable, as
1t would soil the hands and face il it were
ased in soaps or perfume. There are
several natural vegetable greens that can
be used with perfect safety, while the
somewhat effeminate green soaps are
mostly colored by mixture OF ultramar-
inc with soap which is naturally yellow.
Brown is the easist color to produce, and
the usual ingredient is burned sugar in
some form. Some soaps are very short-
lived so far as color is concerned.
Thus peddlers sometimes sell a soap of
lovely yellow, and extort high prices for
it on the ground that as thing of beauty
IL is not only q joy forever, but also
permanent ornament to the washstand.
The housewife is bitterly disappointed on
finding the soap lose its costly beauty
after few days and assume q dull,
milky white. cheap look. Such soaps
are really uncolored, but, having some
palm oil in them, are rich yellow until
the tint fades out, which is generally the
case after few hours exposure to damp
ness. It is important that a perfume or
scap which is named after a particular
lower, and floral nomenclature Is very
fashionable. should at least resemble the
color of the flower after which it is
named, and the efforts made to secure
the desired tints without danger OF stain
ing the clothing or hands of those using
the compound are at times quite amusing
to those who are not actually engaged in
the work.

Dealings in Options and Futures.

Bills introduced In the present
congress have brought out storm
ofprotest against their passage by
Che gamblers in agricultural products,
and the speeches and protests before

tests have been bound in thick
pamphlet and 'issued by New York

among all those innocents, who ex-
press so much fear and anxiety lest
he will be ruined if these bills should
pass. The farmer never had so
many friends pleading for his interest

pear to be very willing TO risk the
injury these gambling associations
predict. Let congress pass the Anti

PEFFER's aRAcEFUL ACT.

How the Senator From Kansas Helped
a Newsboy to Gather Has Papers.
An interesting little scene, in which
Senator PETER, of Kansas, aud ragged
colored newsboy were the central figures,
was witnessed last winter by hand
full of delighted spectators at the Sem
ate entrance of the Capitol building.
A particularly furious "Northern was
blowing at the time, and, as usual, its
force was felt with additional strength
at the Senate wing, where the breezes
get an unobstructed sweep across the
oorth side Of the open plaza, facing the
stately edifice.
The Alliance Senator happened just to
oe descending the marble steps of the
Senate on his way to dinner, when his
eyes caught sight Of the fraii little news
boy right before him in the act Of fall
Ing headlong to the ground with a big
bundle of evening papers in his arms. A
sudden gust of wind had upset the boy
and scattered his papers to the four points
of the compass.
The Senator at once grasped the situa-
ton, and, gracefully relaxing his Gus.
tomary dignity, lifted the little man ten.
derly to his feet, and then set about to
help him recover his lost papers. Hither
and tllither he scurried with great activ-
,ty all over the wide plaza, picking up
one by one the papers that fled evasively
before his pursuing footsteps, while the
cruel wind ceased not to take the most
unwarrantable liberties with his famous
whiskers, playing through their long,
stringy tendrils as heedlessly as it would
through the duttering streamers Of a tat
tered flag.
In few minutes the urchin's tears
were all dried and his papers all collected,
and the Kansas Senator, cheerily bidding
him goodbye, again started home, appar>
emily happy and quite unconscious that
he had broken the accepted but mistaken
traditions Of the past as to the rule Of
conduct governing real Senatorial dig
nifty.
As his tall form disappeared DOWN the
oordered walk, the newsboy was heard to
mutter gleefully:

MILITARY MEN OF FICTION.
The Lieutenant More Admired by the

The Lieutenant More Admired by the

Armies In fiction are much more inter-
esting and consistent than they are ia
reality, the Listener thinks. In the first
place, officers of the same grade all
ways have the same characteristics, so
that one can see at q glance the part they
are destined to play in drama or story.
Here, for instance. is your general of &c.
ton. He is always very grand; hasn't
very much to say, and generally wears q
mustache and white side-whiskers. He
Is not, however, so strongly individual
lzed as your colonel A coionel--in n
story-is always very tall, spare, elderly.
and generally stiff in the knee-ioints.
sometimes he is ill-natured, but is capa-
pie OF great nagnanimity and generos-
ity. Always bestows his blessing on
young people-at the right place-and is
frequently imposed upon by them. He
invariably has resources outside Of his
pay, and is never dissipated. Your ma
Jor OF fiction, on the other hand--there
are no lieutenant-colonels in novels-is a
bad egg in harmless way. He is much
given to the flowing bowl, and always
has fiorid countenance as a result. Ha
u short OF stature, and given to strut
ting. Is a terrible talker, brags good
deal, and says Egad!" on all occasions.
ne nights, but in comic way; hesneers
&C civilians, and is always in need Of
money.
Captains are of two sorts, in novels.
One sort is the somewhat elderly cam
tain, who does not get on very wen ia
che service. He is always bluff, gener-
ally good looking, and frequently iissat-
isned with things. He is Of medium
stature. The other kind of captain is a
dashing young fellow, sort of glorified
lieutenant. The rank of lieutenant is
Che most important in fiction. Roman
ticaliy, heroically, the lieutenant out
ranks the field marshal. In point Of
physical beauty he surpasses all the rest
or the army. In battle, the duty Of
leading charges" falls upon him in
special way. He is generally poor, but
ai"ays wears good clothes, of course. In
horsemanship and magnanimity he ex.
Gels all other grades in the service.
Women seldom fall in love with anv
ofncer but lieutenant, though the ma.
Jor is the prey of designing widows. AS
Tor the enon-commissioned officers. there
are great differences between sergeants
and corporals. Sergeants are thick-wit-
ted and solemn and corporals efficient
and witty. Armies could not get along
at all without corporals. One gets the
impression that they rather run things,
and that commissioned officers are merely
for social purposes and for leading
charges. Thus the army in novel and
urama-a pretty picture on the whole.

ADVENT OF THE TEE-To-TUa1.

man gives the following account Of the
new factor for social reform In London,
known as the Tee-To-Tum. He writes |:
"A Tee-To-Tum is the rival of the saloon.
There the workingman can see his
friends and talk over the affairs and in.
terests Of the hour. It is the laborer's
clubhouse. There are eight of them now
in London, and all pay the originator, a
Mr.. Buchanan, member Of the Church
OF England, handsome dividend on the
capital stock. The name has no signifi.
canoe. 1t is only q striking and sticking
appellation.
The Tee-To-T Tum is public restaurant,
on the ground floor, and as brilliant and
cozy as continental cafe. Coffee, tea,
cocoa, soups, meats, vegetables, pud.
dings, and buns are served at any hour,
and at bottom prices. In enc corner is a
| counter where tea is sold in packages, and
the sales some weeks aggregate 1000
pounds. Up stairs is a network of apart
ments for the use Of members. Every
Tee-To-Tum has club connected with
it; that at Shoreditch has a member
ship of 600.) The one in Whitechapel,
with which / am most familiar, has a
smoking room, reading room, chess
room, class room, for students OF the
club), bath rooms, and private dining
room-a sanctum for members only. A
great hall, capable of seating 500 persons,
affords opportunity for entertainments
and Sunday afternoon lectures.
We have been treated to a deal Of
speech Of late years about high-license
and prohibition. Suppose we 60 to work
now and establish Tee Tum in

quarter given up to the devil, even
wherever the people" lack the attrac-
