Good Enough For the Pig.

A well known physician, himself
an Irishman, relates the following,
which, even though it be ancient, is
worth repeating: The doctor was
travelling in Ireland and was COM
PEELED one night to put up at the hut
of a very poor peasant. He shifted
mentally several times at the bare
dirt floor, the smoky fire, the I'M
washed and numerous bare legged
boys and girls. But recognizing the
fact that even the gods fight not
against necessity he ate his ration of
potatoes and withdrew discontentedly
to his bunk. Then he saw what in the
dusk of the room he had not before
observed, a lean and scraggy pig,
squatting contentedly under his bunk.
1t was the last straw. The doctor
turned to the owner Of the hut and
said Indignantly:
Look here, my man, you ought
not to keep that pig in here. 1t isn't
healthy"
"An ply tn divil not2" asked the
owner of the pig. "Sure, hasn't tn
place iveryt'ing dacent pig needsY"

The Figure 0 Again.

In these days of money discussions
it is pertinent to call attention to a
much needed coin. The denomination
in mind is a cent piece. Modern bust
ness ingenuity and enterprise have
brought about fine discrimination
in the matter of selling prices, and
instead of being satisfied with fixing
their profits in decimals and demi-
decimal denominations find it TO adj
vantage to make the concession of a
single penny on S., $40 or $15 sale.
In values that are less than IS it is
almost as common to see 80 and 49
figures as it is those ending in 0 and 90.
Mr.. Secretary of the Treasury, we
submit that cent piece is now as
necessary as 10 cent piece. 1t is
very pleasant to our feelings apd de-
sirable TO our purses to enter large
store and purchase 20 cent collar
for 10 cents, but it transforms into
pestiferous and cranky individuals to
be compelled to stand on one foot for
81 minutes and wait for the return
of the penny due in change. The
pennies we save in promiscuous buy
ing would provide us with afternoon
papers and postal cards, but the time
lost in waiting for change would
make an annual income sufficient for
an African prince. Detroit Journal.

A long line of carriages with neat
ly dressed coachmen. Ladies in silks
and satins, carrying flowers Men

waistcoats and ''swallowtails." A
magnificent mansion with canopy

sic from within the mansion. In the

costly. wedding is being celebrat-
ed. Presently the bride and groom
come forth and are driven away.
They start ON an extended tour Of
Europe, followed by the good wishes
of many friends. This was a fash
ionable wedding.
AT about the same time another
wedding took place on little street
down town. Five people were pres
emit. The ceremony over, the newly
married pair left the rest of the com
pany. They had no carriage or flow
ers. Swallowtail coats and silks were
unknown to them. They went to a
restaurant and enjoyed a humble re-
past. Then the groom took his bride
home, and they received the blessings
of a hardworking father and a good
mother. The next day the groom
went to work in the foundry again.
Each couple thought their wedding
was the happiest that had ever been
solemnized. Philadelphia Call.

marked DAY For Hungarlan Kisses.

Kisses have a market price at Nag
yalmary, in the Hungarian komitta
of Arad. A strange old custom is in
use there on st. Joseph's day and a
few days following. The young WON
en- who have been married within the
past IL months assemble in the mar
ket place and offer themselves to be
kissed by gentle and simple, "Herren
und Bauern, "indifferently at so much
money per kiss. The prices are ex-
ceedingly modest, the lowest being A
hellers and the highest 20 hellers.

In the earliest time of purchase a
woman was bartered for useful goods
or for services rendered to her father.
In this latter way Jacob purchased
Rachel and her sister Leah. This
was Beena marriage, where man,
as in Genesis, leaves his father and
his mother and cleaves unto his wife,
and they become one flesh or skin-the
woman's. The price OF a bride in
British Columbia and Vancouver Is
land varies from ego to e40 worth of
articles. In Oregon an Indian gives
for her horses, blankets or buffalo
robes in California she'll money or
horses in Africa cattle.
A poor Bamara will sell daughter
for COW richer Kafir expects from
three to thirty. With the Banyal, if
nothing can be given, her family claim
her children. In Uganda, where no
marriage recently existed, she may be
obtained for half dozen needles, or
a coat, or pair of shoes. An ordina-
ny price is box of percussion caps.
In other parts goat or couple of
buckskins will buy girl. Passing
to Asia we find her price is sometimes
five to fifty rubles, or at others a cart
load of wood or hay. A Princess may
be purchased for 5000 rubles.
In Tartary woman can be obtain
ed for few pounds of butter, or
where rich man gives twenty small
oxen poor man may succeed with a
pig. In Fiji her equivalent is a
whales tooth or musket. These,
and similar prices elsewhere, are
eloquent testimony to the little value
savage sets on his wife. Her charms
vanish with her girlhood. She is
usually married while a child, and
through her cruel slavery and bitter
life she often becomes old and repul-
sive at twenty-five.-W Westminster
Review.

Among the many trades carried on
the big city of New York is clover
peddling. Men come in from the sub
urbs every day drivi0g wagons con-
tanning loads of freshly-cut clover,
which is peddled to teamsters for their
horses. The peddlers make a good
thing out of the business and SO do
the tired city horses, who, otherwise
would have no opportunity to plunge
their noses down into a bunch OF
sweet clover.

why the ARMY cadets at West Point

the distinction dates back to the wal

the blue cloth required for General
Winfield Spott's brigade, and so they
were clad in gray. So distinguished

A NEW MOVE.
Members OF Labor Unions Propose to Join
Militia Regiments.


NEW YORK, July 24.-The Herald yes
terday morning said: The report is
current and its authenticity is vouched
for by an official attached To one of the
most influential of the labor organiza-
tions in this city. that organized labor
throughout the country is To unite in
an effort for the conversion of the mill
tia to the labor interests. This il TO be
accomplished by the enlistment of la
Dor men in the national guard of the
several states. The movement was in
augurated in the west more than a
year ago. and labor leaders in this city
who favor the scheme point to the re-
cent conduct of the national guard in
California. who refuse to do duty in
quelling the railroad riots. as an evil
dence of what the plan may accom-
plish.
1t has been stated that as a result of
the conference following the recent
outbreak in Chicago, an order was pro
mulgated throughout the labor or
carnations in the east directing the
men to enlist in the militia. This is
denied by the labor leaders, but the
fact remains that application for ad-
mission to the regiments of the nation
al guard in this state have recently
been more numerous than ever, and
among them are many members of
labor organizations.
Some of the applicants are members
of the Knights of Labor, and this is re-
garded as significant, because of the
fact that after the railroad riots in
1880 the district assemblies of that Or
der passed resolutions requesting their
members to refrain from enlisting in
the national guard, and of those already
enlisted it was asked that they should
retire at the expiration of their terms
of enlistment, or earlier, IL possible.

THE CHASE INVESTIGATION.
The Inquiry In the Charges Against the
Warden Bronght TO an End.

The Inquiry In the Charges Against the
Warden brought to an End.
LEAvESwogTH. Kan, July 25.-After
a brief session of two hours the investi-
CATION into the charges against Warden
$. w. Chase came To close, but while
it lasted proved most interesting.
None of the accusers nor their coun-
sci were present this morning. All
left Lansing last evening They
claimed fear for their personal safety,
but this appeared to be more pretended
than real.
The only evidence to substantiate
the important charges, those relating
to finances, is in the records of the
penitentiary. These are accessible and
were before the board. The other ale
cations related largely to the dis
cipline, and the employment of his sons
and daughters. Witnesses to these al
legations. IL true, were in the employ
ment of the state, and to an onlool<er
the action of the accusers was not such
as appeared to show a strong purpose
to prove the charges.
Before final adjournment the attor-
neys for the warden made brief re-
marks. The board will submit a re-
port to the governor as soon as the
notes are written out by Stenographer
Martin, of the supreme court.
The board notified the governor yes
terday that the investigation was at an
end.
