Yesterday we heard a rumor on the

Stamping Company at Harvey, ILL.,, had
written 10 his parents here that the new
factory building of the company had be-
come so warped by the foundation sinking
that the machinery shipped from here
would not be placed in position. We ran
the rumor down and found that not a word
was SAID in the letter about the factory
building. The letter, however, denounced
the boom town in strong terms The writer
said that when he stepped from the train
he sank into mud shoe-top deep; that the
water there was full Of worms; that the
factory was three miles from town; that he
had 10 go three miles TO get a paper of scrap
that the wind blew so hard be had 10 hold
his hat on; for his father not 70 come to

NOT A TIN PLATE LIAR.

Even the New York Times will hesitate
to call Mr.. ]. H. Rogers, a prominent
Welsh tin-plste maker, 'sa tin-plate liar" +"
but he has said something which will not
please the Times. He thinks the tin-plate
industry will be as firmly established in
"the States" in few years as the iron and
steel industry. And he further remarks:
I don't think that there is the smallest
chance of the duty being taken off plates,
as even the Democratic or free trade party
have come to view its imposition with a
considerable amount of favor. The best
manufacturing of black plate for as long a
period as we can, and during that time to
encourage new markets for our tin plates,
80 that when the Americans will be able to
make their own black plate, as well as
coating it, our mills and tin houses will be
independent of them.
Not long ago the people of this country
were compelled to buy all their fine iron
and steel from England at big prices.
Protection has changed this, SO that now
We are not dependent on England, and
iron and steel are made here so cheaply
and of such good quality that England has
severely felt our competition. Doubtless
in few years similar state of things will
prevail in the tin-plate industry. Free
traders used to say that we couldn't make
the iron and steel we needed, and they are
now saying the same thing about tin plate.

lCulnrAtor and Country Gentleman
Although a great deal has been said
about the weight Of bronze turkeys. yet,
when selecting the stock, one should be
guided nearly as much by the symmetry of
the bird and the beauty of it's plumSse as
by its size and weight The head should be
long and broad, with wRttles Of deep rich
red, and a strong, well-curred beAk. The
body should be long and deepest at the
centre, with full breast, broad back. stout
thighs, and shsnfs Of moderate length. In
young birds the shsaks are jetty shining
black, but they grow lighter with age un-

hesh color.
At ten months of age the hens usually
begin laying and should weigh from IS TO
20 pounds, while the males of the arss
hatch ought TO weigh from IS to so pounds
Some fancisrs declare that their young
stock far exceeds these weights. but for
breeding purposes should not care for any
larger birds-thBt is, Of this age Both
male and female increase considerably in
weight during the two folio wing years, for
the bronEe does not reach maturity until
three years of age. The eggs are then lar
ger. better shaped, and greafsr per cent
of them prove fertile: consequently, pro-
cure hens two years old to start with, and
afterwards select sseh season some of the
finest of the young stock 10 take the place
of those which become superAnnusted
Where all young hens are kept the gobbler
should be two or three years old, as in that
case the progeny will possess greater sta

quently prove patient and reliable brooders
and excellent mothers, and being lighter In
weight and more active, they are less likely
to break the eggs in the nest or to crush
the little turkeys.

have never been able to make the choice

alton of neutral colors, and his bearing,
while reserved, is at the same time sffable

song, his carriage or his color. He stops
with us only about four months OF the

French Education OF Girls.
IT. W. HIggInson in Hsrper's Bazar. ]

We ore told that these young girls devote
much time to French history" but to
what part or aspect of this historyi What do
they learn of the history of the Huguenots.
of the Albigenses, of the French revolu-
tioni Nothing,i it is safe to say, that is not
tinid, resctionary, medieval; the mere con-
ception of teaching which, as in our best
private schools, presents both sides of all
great questions fesrlessly, is foreign to the
whole plan. OF all the great modern
French historians-Thiers, Martin. Niche
let, Blanc, Thierry, Lamartine-it is not
probableIthat any one is familiar to these
young girls. 1t is not in the slightest de-
gree probable that their France is the real
France as 1t exists or ever will exist again.
Their two years of botany" to what can
it amount. since botany, like all else, has
been transformed since Darwin, and il is
not supposable that botany can be taught
them in the light of evolution, or that Seld
botany can be practically taught at all
without something of the out door freedom
which American and English girls epjoyi
In short, these girls will have learned, as
Balxac long since said, "the history of
France in lie Ragois, chronology In the ta-
bles of Chantreau, and their young imsgi-
nation will have had free play In spreading
itself over geography; the whole aim Of
everything being that they should encoun-
ter nothing dangerous to their hesrts"
The consequence must inevitably be
that, as SO many cultivated French men
and women have complained, the young
girl goes from the convent absolutely ig-
norsnt of real life, or real history, of mod
ern or even ancient science, and is destined
TO be married to q man who msy know
something of them all. In many cases she
plunges at once into the unwholeeome
world of French novels, and has a newly
distorted view instead of an old distortion.
In other cases she abstains from novels
and clings, as far ne she can, to her old
view. French fiction is full of these two
types of character. both disastrous This
is what writers like N. Deschanel and Mad
anne Greville deplore-the absolute intel
lectual separation between the French hus-
band and wife. They, live in different worlds,
with the results We know. For an Ameri
can girl, the consequences must be almost
as undesirable. / have seldom felt pro-
founder pity than for certain charming
young dsmsels of this description whom /
have met in Paris, just set free from French
convent schools-maidens having an eI-
quisite French pronunciation, q delightful
musical training. an absolute ignorance of
every great American name or book or
event, and about much fitness TO 20

years in some feudal castle, where they had
been concealed for safety at the outbreak

JUDGE HALLS DECISION.

Judge Halls decision on the demurrer in
the Phelan case will be called victory fer
the Democrats So it is, but that isn't the
chief value of it. Its chief value is that it
is an important step toward clearing away
some of the dubiousness that has been 80
thick and SO discouraging ever since parti-
san Democrats and equally partisan Re-
publicans made an apparently hopeless
muddle of a matter which needed all the
fairness and skill there was for it's proper
and honest settlement.
Judge Hall calls attention to the opinion
of the Supreme court in the case of Nor
ris vs.. Bulkeley, in which 1t is said: "But
as the assembly has not adjourned, as it
is possible for either or both of the houses
to recede from the position they have
taken, the court is not now prepared to
hold that it has lost all power on this
ground from acting further in the matter
of declaration of the election of govern
or" He thinks the plain intimation was
conveyed in the opinion that if the legis-
lature failed to agree the court had ample
power over the question at issue, and
would exercise it when the proper case was
made and the proper time arrived. 1t ap-
pears to him that The proper time has AZ
rived for the court 70 act. "The general
assembly since the promulgation of the
opinion in Morris vs.. Bulkeley has, after
full consideration in each branch thereof,
of the precise question at issue here, to wit,
the election of the relstor, distinctly and
deliberately put itself again on record as
irreconcilably at variance upon this ques-
ton, and each house has voted to adhere
to its disagreeing views and action. This
action must be treated and regarded
as the only parliamentary way a
legislative body can declare the
final result of its deliberations"
In the meantime the relator stands at the
door of the court, admitted by the plead
ings in this case to have been chosen by
the people to an important public Office
by majority of 544 votes over all other
persons voted for for that Office, and de-
mands a hearing and investigation of his
claims and endorsements of his rights.
And Judge Hall thinks that the constitu-
tion cannot now be employed to bar from
court of justice any person seeking its
aid to enforce such right or redress such
wrong as that set forth In the informa-
ton at bar.
The decision is well reasoned and i'm
pressive., The case will now be heard, and
Mr.. Phelan appears to be in fair way to
get the Office to which he was elected and
which he was kept out of because the legis-
lature preferred squabbling to declaring"
