The Girls Cared For.

The lamp and watch committee of the
Borough Council met last night to take
action iu relation TO Ella and Emma
Whitehead, the two girls who were found
roaming the streets on Sunday night, The
girls repeated their story that they were
respectively IA and l6 years of age, their
parents were dead and that they came here
from Weatherly, where they lived with
friends. The Chief Of Police stated that
he had telegraphed to Weatherly and re-
ceiyed no reply. After a consultation the
committee instructed Chief Burgess
Burns to take charge OF the girls, who
also stated that they had a friend named
Houser residing at Quakake. The Burgess
was authorized to purchase railroad
tickets and send the girls TO that place,
He did so and they left town this morning
on the 9:l5 Lehigh Valley train.

THE DANGER IN CANDY.

Cyrus Edison In the Ladies' Home Journal.
The real danger to be found in
candy is that 1t lie 30 pleasant to the
taste, SO 'cunningly"-to use the
word in It's old English meaning
compounded to please the nerves OF
taste, that there Is the risk II per-
son who is fond of 1t be given all he
or she cares for that no other foods
win be taken. This must be watched
out for. In time, IL person have 1t
continually, the system will revolt;
witness the fact that candy manu-
facturers and sellers allow their
employees to eat all they will, and
that after week or two the girl who
was fondest Of 1t eats no more. This
danger is the disturbance OF the
proper balance Of food, Of the neces-
sary diversity In diet. There is one
custom common enough among many
people, which is to the last degree
reprehensible, that il giving candy
to babies In arms. Babies do not
need candyi 1t does them the greatest
harm.

PROF. DAVID SWING DEAD.

Prof. David Swing died in Chicago,
aged SO. David Swing was born in
Cincinnati. When he was 10 years
old his parents moved to farm.
There the boy lived until he was Is
years, attending district school in
winter. He studied Latin, and so
well did he master the language that
when he passed his examination for
admission to college he was awarded
the county scholarship in the Miami
University at Oxford, Ohio. At this
same school, while David Swing was
there, we're Benjamin Harrison and
Whitelaw Reid. Prof. Swing often
told the story of how he and Harri-
son played truant to go to the cir
Gus, and how both were caught.
Young Swing supported himself at
college by working and by teaching
school during vacations. His inten-
tion was to be lawyer, but his
religious element of his mind pre-
dominated and he studied for the
Presbyterian ministry. He was
graduated from the Miami Univer
sity in 1852 and was appointed
teacher OF languages in the institu
ton. In that capacity he served for
twelve years. In 1865 he went to
Chicago as pastor of the Fourth
Presbyterian church. Gradually he
drew away from the Presbyterian
doctrines and at last was convicted
Of heresy, his accuser being DR..
Patton. After leaving the Presby
terian church he organized an inde-
pendent congregation, which has
grown to be one of the most influen
tial religious associations in that city.
Prof. Swing was man of broad
culture, extensive learning and great
mental power.

WOMEN as PRINTERS.

From the London Daily News.
Some interesting details regarding
the first appearance of woman in the
printers art are given in the official
organ of Parisian printers. The gem
eral belief that women were for the
first time employed in typographical
work in 1881 by Rignoux, printer
in Montbard, is declared to be erron-
eous, printing press, worked exclu-
slvely by women, having been in
regular use in Italy century and a
half before that date. he printing
office was the convent of St. James
at Mount Ripoli, and the women
printers were sisters of the Domini-
can order.
The sisters of this convent had
practiced the art of copying and
Illuminating manuscripts since the
thirteenth century. When Guten-
berg's invention made its appearance
the press spread rapidly in Italy,
and every town soon possessed its
printing office. Florence had one as
early as 1472. 1t would have gone
hard with the Dominican sisters If
their confessor, Dominica de Pistoia,
and their procurator, Pietro di Pisa,
had not come to their aid by impart-
ing to them a knowledge of the new
art. The sisters appear to have
devoted themselves to their typo
graphical labors with ardor and
success, for between 1476 and 14S4
more than hundred works-a large
number for that period-issued from
the conventional press. 1t is some
what curious to note that among
these works there is an edition Of
the Decameron dated 1478.

FOREIGN NEWS.

The situation In the east still prac-
tically monopolizes public attention,
partly because of the quiet that
prevails in nearly all other parts of
the foreign field, but chiefly because
Of the unquestionably vast impor-
tance of the struggle that is going on
between the two great powers of
eastern Asia. The question whether
Japan can conquer China is rapidly
giving place to the question whether
China can survive the tremendous
shock and strain to which she is being
subjected and come forth intact,
albeit weakened and humiliated, or
whether she is about to crumble and
go to pieces, shattered by the heavy
and incessant blows showered upon
her by the little island empire that
she has hitherto held in unspeakable
contempt.
lhere are rumors that Japan
purposes not merely to put an end to
Chinese suzerainty over Korea and
exact a suitable war indemnity, but
to undertake to bring about the dis
memberment of the Celestial empire
and the division of it's extern
sive territory and diverse peoples
into three independent countries.
Whether there is any foundation for
this rumor or not it appears certain
that internal dissension has already
reached such pass and the demora-
lization of both the government and
the people is SO complete that a
revolutionary uprising of some sort
is liable to occur in China any day,
with what result no one can foretell.
Just where and when Japan will
next strike her foe is wholly matter
of conjecture. There is no doubt,
however, that she is still pursuing, as
actively and aggressively as ever,
her carefully laid plans for the reduc-
tiun of her adversary's strongholds,
and for striking fatal blow at the
earliest possible moment. What
these plans are Japan has thus far
been entirely successful in conceal
ing, and it is only when something is
actually done that the outside world
knows what Japan has been planning
to do.
The most disquieting element in
the European political situation is
still the illness of the czar. The
latest report is that while his condi-
ton is serious it is thought that with
proper care and in suitable climate
he may live for two or three years.
The Polish agitation continues to
cause uneasiness in German official
circles. The report that Mr.. Glad
stones sight has been completely
restored and that he is able to work
as hard as at any time in recent
years, revives the lingering spark OF
hope in the liberal party that he
may again become its official leader.

THE MANTLE OF CHARITY.

Ruth Ashmore In the Ladies' Home Journal.
1t is the one garment the fashion
of which never changes. The years
may go and come, and yet she who
cloaks herself in this mantle is at
once happy herself and The giver of
happiness. In cut it never changes.
1t is always large and full, 80 that 1t
can envelop those who are unhappy
and give them warmth and comfort.
Like the cloak worn by the prince in
the fairy tale, 1t is invisible to all but
those whose eyes are made clear by
faith. 1t Is the garment that I would
like my girls to wear. tits true that
much patience and much self denial
are required before this clock is put
on, as 1t should be, for once assumed
the amount of Joy to be gotten from
1t, and the happy heartbeats to the
wearers Of 1t, can not possibly be
overestimated.

labor unions to which the men
belonged and applied to Judge Jen-
kins for a modification of the order.
Judge Jenkins refused to strike out
the clause enjoining strike and the
labor unions appealed to the higher
court.
The decision says that the injunc-
ton against employees so quitting as
to cripple the property or prevent
or hinder the operation of the road
waa equivalent to a command by the
court that they should remain in the
active employment of the receivers,
and perform the service appropriate
to their respective positions until
they could quit without gripping the
road. The time when they could
quit was not indicated by the order
of the court.

DEATH NOT DREADFUL.

From "In he Hospital" by j. West Roose-
welt, ST. D., in the scrbner.
Familiarity with death is apt to
alter one's earlier conceptions of it.
Two ideals are very generally ac-
cepted which experience shows to be
false. One is that the dying usually
fear death; and the other, that the
act of dying is accompanied by pain.
It is well known to all physicians that
when death is near its terrors do not
seem to be felt by the patient.
Unless the Imagination is stimulated
by the frightful portrayal of the
supposed "pangs Of DEATH" or of
the sufferings which some believe
the soul must endure after dissolu-
tion, 1t is rare indeed that the last
days or hours of life or passed in
dread. Oliver Wendell Holmes has
recorded his protest against the
custom of telling person who does
not actually ask to knew that he
cannot recover. As that loving
observer of mankind asserts so must
everyone who knows whereof he
speaks assert that people almost
always come to understand that
recovery 10 impossible; 1t is rarely
needful to tell anyone that this Is the
case. When nature gives the warn
ing death appears to be as little feared
as sleep. Most sick persons are very,
very tired; sieep-long quiet sleep
is what they want. I have seen
many people die. have never seen
one who seemed to fear death,
except when 1t was, or seemed to be,
rather FAR away. Even those who
are constantly haunted, while strong
and well, with dread Of the end Of
life forget their fear when that end
Is at hand.
As forthe act of dying-the final
passage from life to death-it is
absolutely without evidence that the
oftrepeated assertions of it's pain
fulness are made. Most people are
unconscious for some hours before
they disi and in the rare cases where
consciousnesa Is retained unimpaired
until q few minutes before the end
the last sensation must be of perfect
calm aud rest. IL IL worse than
cruel 70 sdd 70 the natural dread Of
death Witch cppresses the majority
Of us whils - good health the dread

The late general rains have greatly
changed crop conditions and a much
encouraged tone pervades nearly all
reports.
| Corn-The drouth was broken too late
to benefit any but the late planted corn,
a very small per cent. OF the total acreage,
yet there Is a marked rise in the estimates
Of condition which, however, varies, even
In the same locality, from large, sound
and well matured, that grown on good
bottom land, to small ears, poorly filled,
from the high prairie and timber fields.
II the present estimate OF an average yield
for the state Of % bushels be confirmed,
the total product from the increased
acreage will be three fourths OF the crop
OF 1893. Where the drouth was most
severe greater per cent. Of the corn was
cut, most Of it in No. shape, although a
few reports OF rotting In the shock were
received, having been cut too green.
| Buckwheat - Estimates on yield OF
buckwheat were made from only a few
counties in north Missouri, where the
yield per acre is two bushels short OF that
Of last year.
| Irish potatoes-The summary Of returns
but Ms the late tubers are rotting badly In
the ground it Is probable that the yield
will yet be much reduced.
Sweet potatoes--Promise fair yield OF
excellent quality.
Tobacco-There is a very decided i'm
provement in the estimated condition Of
tobacco as q result Of the recent rains,
and the yield of the crop depends upon
the absence OF early frost.
| Cotton-Returns were made on cotton
only from one county In the central Sec
tion, Ave from the southeast and two
from the southwest, all report better con-
ditiop than at this date In 1893.
tures--Wonderiully improved in the
last thirty days which will prevent early
for winter. In the southeast large area
Of rye is reported sown for pasturage, and
In the southwest OF cane, sown broadcast,
for fodder and silage
Sorghum-The returns indicate light
yield per acre, but the product OF the
cane Of superior quality.
Apples-Are reported from some coun-
ties as greatly increased in weight since
the drought was broken, but the general
estimate for the state 10 yet below half
crop.
Peaches-There were few peaches on
la few trees but none for commercial pur-
poses.
Grapes--The final estimates on grapes
place the crop at only 81 per cent. OF that
OF an average year.
Wheat-The estimated acreage sown is
per cent. less than that OF 1893, although
the condition OF ground for seeding in
most cases was reported never better;
termination good aud plant making
strong growth. Shelby and Hickory
counties report seeding delayed by great
numbers OF chinch bugs.

NEW YoRK's NEW CONSTITUTION.

NEW YORR'S NEW CONSTITUTION.
The New York constitutional con-
vention has adjourned. The chief
bone Of contention has been the
apportionment for future senatorial
and assembly districts. The repub.
lican majority claims that the appor
tionment is fair for all concerned
but the democratic minority claims
its discrimination against the large
cities in favor of the country dis
trlcts, and that the discrimination
was unfair to the democratic party
as a whole. 1t was voted to split
the bill into sections; but the Sec
tions are not as numerous as the
leaders of the democratic minority
would have preferred. The measure
will be submitted to the people in
the form of three ballots. The first
ballot provides for the adoption of
the twenty nine articles. The Sec
ond for the apportionment article.
The third for the canal improvement
measures.
President Choate appointed
committee to prepare an address to
the people, explaining the work of
the convention. The democrats
refused to serve, and the republi
cans were finally compelled to pre-
pare the address without their
assistance. The democrats assert
that they will prepare another ad-
dress, denouncing the address pre-
pared by the majority. The major,
ity address explains that of 400
amendments proposed only thirty
one have been accepted. These
amendments provide for the separa.
ton in the larger cities of the
municipal from the national and
state elections; for the prohibition
of lotteries, pool selling, bookmaking
and all forms of gambling; for the
abolition of the statutory provision
limiting the right to recovery for
injuries causing death to 5000;
for the prevention of the naturaliza-
tion Of foreigners during a period of
ninety days previous to general
election; for the adoption of the
most approved mechanical devices
in elections; for the establishment
of a system of registration; for
new apportionment of senate and
assembly districts, fixing the number
of senators at fifty and the number
of assemblymen at $50; for the
enforcement of the principle of civil
service reform; for the prohibition
of the contract system of convict
labor, etc.

HOMEMADE ALTAR OF ROSES

From Good Housekeeping.
Gather a quart (when settled
DOWN of fresh rose leaves from
fragrant roses. Do not pluck them
right after a rain, as they are not as
fragrant. Put layer of the leaves
in the bottom Of a wide -mouthed
glass bottle, sprinkle with salt, then
cover with layer of absorbent cotton,
wet with pure olive oil. Then fill
the bottle with alternate layers until
1t is full; tie q piece of oil silk double
over the top Of the bottle and set
where the sun viii shine on 1t all day
for two weeks. At the end of that
time uncover and extract the oil from
the cotton and rose leaves. The
altar thus made will be superior TO
much OF the perfumes which are sold.

The mile that Jib went and the

when the circumstances are taken
into consideration. All day a strong

stretch at the large loop, but he
forged ahead just the same. The
hrst half of the heat was made in
