SUSAN B. ANTHONY thinks VIC are on
the verge of an era of unmarried wom-
en-. Our civilization, she says, is chang
ing. Daughters cannot be supported at
home, and there is nothing there TO
busy them. The women used to spin
md weave, make carpets and soap, but
now all that is done for them in the
factories. Young men do not make
enough money to support their wives,
and there is such craze for dissipation
among them that the women would
rather go into store for almost moth
ing than to marry.

A SIMPLE means is used TO discover
where coal thieves are numerous along
the line OF some Of the Pennsylvania
and New Jersey railroads The coal is
merely splashcd with whitewash after
1t has been loaded upon the cars. AS
coal trains are slow ones and are often
sidetracked for days together at obscure
places where there are few or no EN-
ployes to guard them, the enemies Of
the coal trust take advantage of these
delays to replenish their bins. A glance
at a load that has been sprinkled with
whitewash shows where coal has been
removed, and places where such remov-
ais are frequent are guarded.

SANITARY scientists there are in this
age of realism who classify the kiss with
sewer gas and other agencies by which
noxious and infectious disease is propa-
gated. They advocate the abolition of
the practice of kissing as remnant of
barbarous ignorance of the laws OF
health. Such views are due to the germ
theory of disease and their transmissi-
BILE qualities. Prudent parents, under
the instruction of physicians, guard
their young children jealously against

tIon, for undoubtedly the danger exists.

The Lest Found.

ABOUT Il year ago a little girl was
stolen from her home in St. Paul. She
was the daughter of V. J. Schwartz
IL, East 18th street. Efforts to find
her proving fruitless, Gov. Nelson was
INDUCED TO offer state reward of $500
ior her recovery and return to her par
entS. OF course all the detectives and
policemen of the country had an eve
open for the child, and some three or
TOUR weeks ago, Captain Mart. Gala
gier, OF our police force saw a child on
circus day that he thought was the
one wanted. He located the child and
then opened correspondence with the
parents, got a picture of the lost child
compared notes and last week sent for
the father who came on here last week
friday. lie was taken to the child
identified her, and in company with
Capt. Gallagher, left for St. Paul last
Saturday. Arriving at St Paul the
child was recognized by the mother
and several neighbors.
a woman calling herself Mrs. Duck
worth left the child, some months
since, with Mrs. Levine, of this city,
agreeing to pay stipulated price for
It's Keeping while she earned her liv-
ing as dressmaker. Time went on
but no money was Forthcoming. The
LeVneS were poor people and could
not afford to keep the child for moth
ing. Good natured Joe Allard and his
eStimable wife saw the child, took a
fancy to it, and having no children of
their own adopted the little waif. Mr..
and Mrs. Allard had had the child
about two months, had paid its old
board bill and got it dressed up like a
little lady and had become much at
tached to 1t, when it was claimed and
taken from them SO suddenly on Sat
urday as stated. Mr.. Allard thinks a
mistake has been made and that the
Child was not taken from him in law
ful manner, and at this writing it
looks as though some litigation would
follow.
If it turns out to be all straight and
that the child has been returned to its
rlghtful parents, it will he quite a
feather i'll Captain Gallagher's cap,
and, of course, Mr.. Allard can only ac
quiece with as good grace as possible,
and he really glad that the little one
had found It's real parents.
