The Popularity Of Astrologx.

It will surprise large majority OF
readers to be told that astrology as n
science is not only holding its own in
England today, but has during the past
ten years made such strides that it III
felt by many that the "Rogues and
Vagabonds" act, which prevents tho
casting Of horoscopes for gain, will by
this next parliament stand a chance Of
being repealed.
A large number Of regular profess
sional astrologers live in London, and
they one and all agree that the science
has distinctly become more popular
since 1885. Previous to that date they
carried on their horoscopical practice in
fear and trembling, but there has been
no prosecution Of an astrologer, qua
astrologer, in England for four years
now, the last being at Bow street,
when Neptune" an intuitive seer, was
mulcted in five pounds for casting Il
horoscope; barrister in court, who had
never seen or heard of him before,
springing up to defend him gratuitousiy
ON the sole ground that he himself was
. believer.and a practicer of astrology.
Six years ago there were no periodicals
in England devoted to astrology. There
are now three. Edgar Lee in Arena.

Looking for Moro Money.

The national Republican committee,

sending out most urgent letters to the
leaders of the party for funds to pay the
deficiency in the national campaign
,und. One of these letters to a southern
member of the national committee was

was signed by Chairman Carter and
stated that the national committee had
deficiency after the election of nearly

1t stated that at the eleventh hour
Republicans discovered that defeat was
inevitable, and though the campaign
committee had kept campaign expenses
well within the limits of subscriptions
thereto, it was found that subscribers
who had pledged half million dollars
to the party refused to fulfill their obi
cations, and the result is that the com.
mittee is urgently pressed to meet debtu
with an empty treasury. He states that
after carefully considering where 10 get
the amount the committee has made an
assessment on good party men of ali
amount sufficient to pay the deficit.
The assessment of the man who re.
ceived the letter was fixed at $1,000.

The march Of Mind.

The two boys, eleven and thirteen
years old, who snatched a woman's
pocketbook at the postoffice, where she
was writing money order, and then
led the policeman merry chase by hall
ways and roofs. illustrate the march of
mind. When the novelist Of SOLVER
Twist" sketched the youthful London
criminal, with whom he was well &C.
quainted, he makes him an expert pick
pocket. He appears as versatile and
ready Of wit in doubling and covering
his trail, but nothing will DO found in
his performance that suggests the New
World audacity. In its minor field it Is
of piece with the dash that robs west
ern banks and holds up railway trains.
1t is the revelation Of mental quality,
and as such is worthy the meditation Of
the philosopher.-New York Evening
Sun.

Looking for Engagements.


Just at this period Of the year, when
the psntomime season is rapidly ap-
preaching, actors and actresses, particu-
larly those Of the lighter schools, fly to
the papers to secure engagements. The
current number of the principal journal
devoted to theatrical and music hall re-
quirements contains vast numbers of
advertisements, not only Of this kind,
but Of every possible requisite for the
stage, and some particulars of them may
prove interesting.
There are 404 ladies, including both
actresses proper and music hall stars,
major and minor, who have vacant dates
that requirAlling. In addition to these,
thirty-three combinations of SISTERS"
eleven troops Of lady gymnasts and
trick bicyclists, three fat women, two
lady champion rifle shots and q strong
lady seek engagements. Even this does
not complete the list. Twenty-four COM
petent lady pianists want something to
do, nine leading chorus ladies have no.
where to sing, and four female instruc.
tors will be happy to teach dancing to
aspiring disciples of Tersipchore.
The male portion Of the community IL
represented by 419 advertisements, in
GLIDING opponents of the legitimate
drama and representatives Of the music
hall stage. TO these must be added nine
jugglers, fourteen tight rope walkers and
aerial trapeze specialists, four strong
men, a dozen circus clowns, six conjur-
ers and man monkey-whateve tho
latter may be, There are fifty-eight in.
strumentalists who desire positions IN
orchestras, and seven amateurs wish to
go on the stage. Trios, families and
troops are found in twenty-five instances.

The sun of the golden May morning
was streaming through the branches Of
the trees that lined the walk, and the
sweet spring air, inst touched with q
fading memory Of frost, caused the blood
to rush through the veins and rendered
my Sunday morning walk pleasant and
invigorating.
I had just passed stately church, from
which the school children were emerg-
ing, some running and romping, soma
quiet and orderly and some clustered
around their teachers. Ahead Of me was
little group composed Of teacher and
seven or eight scholars, among which
was the regulation bad boy.
The subject of their conversation was
BALKAN and the ASS" evidently the
school lesson for the day. The teacher,
sweet faced young lady, was busy an
swering the questions of the children.
Finally one of the youngest placed him
self in front of her, walking backward,
and said:
miss Anna, you said the ass spoke to
Balaam. What did he sayT
"Why am surprised that you don't
know" answered the teacher. "Now,
Jimmie" she said, turning to the bad
boy, "you tell frankie what the ass said
to Balaam."
HE said Come off," answered jim
mie as he tripped one Of his companions
up.

Of Central America calmly coiled itself
and waited developments. In few
moments large crowd had assembled
at safe distance and his snakeship was
discussed at long range. The cold pave

phcre were not conducive to a great
amount of hilarity on the part Of the
snake, and after little while he tied
himself in dozen bowknots, tucked
his head out Of sight and went to sleep.

The swallow nuisance continues with
undated vigor at the Naval academy,
Annapolis. From 5000 to 10000 swal-
lows gather every evening in the five or
six maple trees in front of the superin-
tendent's residence and make evening
and morning hideous with their cries.
All efforts to drive them away have
failed, and bell and gong are kept 60
ing at intervals to drive the pests from,
the two trees next the superintendent
house. Every year this disagreeable
rendezvous is maintained by the swal-
lows. --Baltimor Sun.
