worlds fair in that city in 1896.

 The net increase of the public debt durinl
 Februsry was over $40, ,00o, 900.
 The school board of the West End o
 Pittsburg has decided to allow four nuni
 now teaching in the public schools to veal

 Real whalebone is becoming too scsrcs
 and costly, but the inventive skill of man
 is equal to the emergency. A process of forming artificial whalebone from animal
 hair, consisting in subjecting the hair to a softening bath, then to bath of scetic
 acid, and. finally, placing the mass under great pressure, has been invented.
 A struggle Is going on in Washington
 which has an international interest. The
 wife of the new Japanese minister, Mms. Fateno, hes a hard time trying to sccus- tom herself to corsets. She finds special difficulty in sitting upon the floor in native style when she has them on; but she is struggling to become accustomed to stays, as she likes the American dress and wishes to adopt 1t.
 Not long ago family in certain town applied to relief society for money to save them from starvation. They got 1t and had their pictures taken with 1t. In Atchison, Ksnsas, a good-hesrted man who had supplied needy family with a weeks supply of provisions was surprised two days later by another application for aid from the recipients of his bounty. Inquiry ss to how they had got rid of the previous supply brought out the innocent reply that they had given party.
 Great indignation Is felt amorg the sculptors and art dealers of Warsaw over a recent rescript of the police of that city. The guardians of the peaes, in obedience to orders from St. Petersburg, visited all the stores and studios and destroyed all the busts of the Polish heroes, Thaddseus, Kosciuszko and Josef Pownistowski, which they could find. All sculptors in the city were obliged to send a written communi- cation to the city officials promising not to make busts or statues of the two men in the future. This is one way Russia has adopted of trying to suppress the Polish national spirit. It is not probable, how ever, that 1t will accomplish Its purpose.
 In one of the United States reports Con sul Loomis, commenting on the part taken by French women in business affairs, says there Is perhaps DO other nation where the women take so intelligent and active part in these matters as they do in France. In the small shopkeeping class the women, as 6 rule, have much better judgment than their husbands and ara the real brains and life of the trade. The wife of @ French trsdesmsn, artisan or farmer is generally his cashier and accountant. She takes care of the savipgs and invests them; che Is much brighter than her husband, e good deal more industrious in a very large num- Der of instances and does not hesitate to assert herself, particularly if she was the possessor of dot when she was married. |
 Referring to a euloRy on woman suffrage recently pronounced by Senator Carey of Wyoming, the Omaha Bee says: Neither Senator Carey nor anybody who subscribss to the vsgaries of the woman suffrsgiEts has ever been able to point out wherin the people of Wyoming have been benefited by woman euffrags, morally, socially, polite ally, or financially. What has Wyoming to show from the moral reform standpoint Has politics been purified by giving wom- CT the right to vote, hold office, and serve on juriesi Most assuredly not. The cess pool of politics is. if anything, dirtier than it ever was. The successful candidate must not only strike bargains with the bad men, but also with the bad women. Have crime and vice decreased psroeptiblyi Not at all. The towns of Wyoming are no less infected with vice and crime than the towns of Dakota or Nebraska.
