Some one given to statistics ha s
discovered that, whereas in 1858 there
were only seventy lines of industrial
activity open to women, now there are
500. If the next quarter of century
sees proportionate expansion of wo-
mans opportunities, the New York
Mail and Express predicts there will
be demand for protective organiza-
tions for the men. Women are grasp
ing creatures, there is no question of
that. and while men might be induced
to overlook the minor invasion of thor

Reveals new nest in the old apple tree,
And the rays reach the vine that seemed dead

And Jenny, slow tripping where blossoms

Finds that silly maiden, that banishes tears,
As she plucks, with a smile, the hazel-ringed

That bringeth good fortune and drives away

All Jenny, the robin, his carol still singing,

And he notes. am sure, that the wind is

No hint of a shower, in the blue OF the

And sees blushing Jenny agreeing her

In the German army promotion
from the ranks ispractically unknown;
but in France about half the officers
become officers in that way. 1t is the
unanimous testimony of French SOL
diers that officers who have seen SER
vice in the ranks do, as n rule, succeed
best in securing respect, obedience,
and efficiency in their subordinates.
Still, to get commission from the
ranks is by no means easy. After q
non-commissioned officer has been fre-
quently recommended he has to go
through military college and pass
very severe examinations.

provisions of the Building laws in
New York City is said to be about
forty cents per cubic foot, while ten
years ago it was estimated that the
cost of erecting large building was

this reduction, brought about by a

In public address delivered in
Pittsburg few days ago, Rev. DR..
Sheldrake, of Kentucky, related these
singular stories: "There was mem
ber of the Kentucky presbytery, whom
] knew very well, who frequently went
into sort of walking sleep. While
in this condition hewould preach most
eloquent sermons, but when he came
out he could not remember a word
that he had said. On one occasion q
copy of the French Testament was
handed to him to conduct family wor-
ship at the house of well-known cit
izen of Frankfort. Although utterly
ignorant of the French language, he
read chapter and then commented
thereon at length in English. On an
other occasion, while in this condition,
he remarked to his friends that GER
tain minister in Nebraska was in trou-
BILE, and that he had just written let
ter in Kentucky, detailing the circum-
stances. He then proceeded to give
the contents of the letter, and his
words were taken down by some one
present. Two days later the letter ar
rived from Nebraska, and it was iden-
tical, word for word, with the one the
minister had dictated while in the
waking sleep" The speaker cited
these instances to show the life of the
soul independent of the body, and
argued therefrom the immortality o.
the former.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Rub a stove zinc with kerosene.
Clean iewelry with prepared chalk.
Cleanse grained woodwork with cold
tea.
Use wood ashes on discolored table,
ware.
For grease spots, equal parts of
ether or cloroform.
To clean sewing machine of oil and
dirt, go over it with rag wet With
coal oil.
Gum arabic and gum tragacanth in
equal parts, dissolved in hot water,
make the best and most convenient
mucilage to keep in the house.
The correct way for serving bread,
aside from the individual plate, is to
put dolly upon plate, pile the thin
ly-sliced bread upon this, and cover
with another dolly that all moisture
may be retained.
If steaming hot cloth is wanted at
once, and there is no hot water, dip
flannel cloth in cold water and wiring
it as dry as possible, then spread out
between two folds of newspaper, and
hold it around the stove pipe; 1t will
be hot in u moment. The paper keeps
the flannel from being soiled ON the

On the other hand, it was difficult for
burglar or a sneak thief to get in, as
the place was not only guarded by
good locks but had also burglar
alarm, which was set whenever the
family and servants retired. During
the day and evening there were enough
persons about the house to spot any
thief that might effect an entrance.

ATTACKING STANDARD OIL,
New York Labor Men Have a
Hearing at Albany.
Attorney General Hancock Asked to
Proceed Against the Trust.
(Dy Associated Press,)

ALBANY, N. Y. May 3.-Attorney-
General Hancock gave a hearing to-day
on the applica ton of the Central Labor
Union and various other trade organiza-
lions OF New York City for him to begin
proceedings in the Supreme Court for
the dissolution OF the Standard OIL Com
pany Of New York.
Thomao G Crane appeared for the ap-
p%licants, and j.. s. H. Choate for the

Is a party to a trust existing for unlaw-
full purposes. creating a monopoly for
the sale OF oil.
Mr.. Crane charged that the Company
had violated the act under which It was
created. 1t had violated its charter,
inasmuch as It had suspended Its legiti-
mate business during the past year.
He ave a history Of the creation Of the
Standard Oh Trust. OF the agreements
of 1882. by which the business
and financial affairs OF all corpo-
r%ations. companies and individuals COM
posing said trust were placed under the
Jurisdiction of a Board of Trustees.
and said that such agreement was con-
trary to the laws of New York State
for two ieasons. viz: 1t created a
monopoly and established a copartner-
ship among corporations. both of which
are against public policy.
ITS effects are evident. The price OF
petroleum has been greatly increased.
Oil exported by the corporations sells
in Europe for one-third the cost in New
York City. The State Of Ohio, through
its Supreme Court. has held that a
similar corporation In Ohio Is against
the law, being a party to the bow
specified agreement. and ordered that
said corporation be dissolved II 1t did
not withdraw from the said agreement.
Mr. Choate denied each OF the allie
cations and declared that the instiga-
tor of the proceedings was George
Rice, an individual oil refiner, of Ohio.
who has spent years in fighting the
Standard OIL Trust. and that the labor
organizations are simply figureheads in
