The Clinging Vine.

The figure of woman as the clinuinp vine
has been altogether overworked. 1t may
be pertinent in individual cases, but it does
mot represent accurately the relation which
women sustain to men, either in this coun-
try or in many others. Among the labor
ing classes the world over the women do as
much work as the men, and perhaps on the
whole a good deal more They do not need
to cling to their husbands or brothers to do
1T, and in higher walks" of life, if we ac-
cept conventional distinctions as true ones
it is men who appear frequently as the
clinging vines, supported by trellis in the
shape of "a wife.
| a French writer, in speaking of Partisan
women, says: "What in particular distin.
guishes the Partisan woman from other
women is her good humor and clear head.
She knows how to use her gifts no less in
society than in business She is often the
real leader and director of the affairs which
carry the husbands name. While monsieur
travels about, giving orders, taking pur-
chases, cashing checks, visiting factories,
etc, madam sits in the magasin and holds
all the threads of the business in her hand.
She has often that prevoyance which is
usually credited to the husband and his
firmness and courage united with feminine
tact and quick perception. At home, as
mother and wife, she shows the same ad-
mirable qualities"
The same praise might be awarded to
many American women, though Ameri.
cans have not shown their good sense to
the same extent as Frenchmen in taking
their wives into business confidence.

In Case Involving Matters of Transports
tion-An Important Court Decision.
THE Central Vermont railroad has lust
won an important case in the United States
court of appeals, which involves matters of
transportation. There is a clause in a bill
of lading for the transportation of grain
from Chicago to Boston over connecting
lines which eXempts the cargo of liability
from loss or damage to the carrier, unless
written claim be made within thirty DAYS
after such loss or damage, is void. Another
clause provides that the carrier shall not be
liable for loss or damage unless action be
brought against it within three months, is
reasonable, and has within its scope all
losses or damage sustained to the cargo in
the ordinary course of business. In the case
of j. E. Soper and others, consigners of the
grain which was destroyed by fire in an
elevator belonging to the Central Vermont
railroad, at Ogdensburg, n. Y, in August,
1880, while in transit from Chicago to Bos-
ton, the circuit court of Massachusetts
decided in their favor. A writ of error
was taken to the United States court of
appeals by the attorneys for the Central
Vermont railroad, and, on the strength of
the above-named propositions regarding
DIS OF lading, the court has reversed the
Judgment lof the circuit court. The claim
Tor damage was not made within the re-
Uuired time

Those economical women who have
home-dyeing have often complained be-
cause there were not fast and non-fading
dyes for cotton goods.
Within the last few years science has
been at work, and the results are the fast
diamond dyes for cotton turkey red, pink,
purple, orange, olive green, brown, etc.
These dyes make colors so fast that even
washing in strong soap-suds will not start
them. II a woman is sure to get the fast
diamond dyes for cotton when she wants to
dye cotton, she will be able to dye abso-
lutely fast, non-fading colors that will stay
until the goods are worn out.
A practical dyer, writing in the Weouers'
Herald, says, 8" | used to dye with roots and
banks, but after all my work land it was
tedious job was not satisfied, for the col
ors were homely and often faded At last |
commenced to use diamond dyes, and the
process is so simple and easy that the work
is pleasure. have used carpets made of
rags dyed with diamond dyes three years,
and the colors are still as bright as when
new"
Many of the diamond dye fast cotton col
ors are so superior to other dyestuffs that
they are used by dyers everywhere, even in
the big mills and the large dye houses. I'M
itators of these reliable dyes have claimed
that their cotton dyes are "just as good"
but practical tests prove the diamond is the
only kind that makes colors which soap will
not wash out or sunlight fade.
The diamond dyes come in nearly fifty
different colors, for silk, wool, and cotton
and will dye anything from pair of stock
ings to dress or cloak

CLETEL1ND'S PENSION POLTCT

Receives Serious Set-Bac<-Judge Long
to BE Restored to the Roll on Full
Pension.
THE district judge of the District of CO.
lumbia has directed that a mandamus be
issued upon the commissioner of pensions
in the famous case of Judge Long of Michi-
gan, that he he restored to the roll on full
pension. This decision has demolished an
essential part of the present admnistra-
tons pension policy. 1t is a signal defeat.
The commissioner of pensions has endeav-
ored to anticipate this decision by inform
ing Judge Long that he would be restored
to the roll at half his pension and must be
examined to see whether he is entitled to
the rest. The decision, however, directs
that Long be restored to the roll on full pen
sion, and decides, moreover, that the com
missioner of pensions has no right to order
him to be examined

DEATH ON THE RAIL.
Terrible Collision Between LacISawanna
Trains-Twelve Killed i'm TwinlSling-
Twenty Badly Wounded.

A FRIGHTFUL accident occurred last Mon
day morning on the Morris and Essex
branch of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad. A suburban train for
New York crashed into the rear of the
Dover express in a dense fog, telescopng
two cars. Fifteen persons were killed out
right and more than twenty badly in
jured. Because of the fog, the express
slowed up at Hackensack bridge, the engi-
neer not being able to see the signals. The
suburban train was just behind, running
twenty miles an hour. The engineer of
the latter did not see the express until he
was within 200 feet of it. He reversed his
engine and lost his life, but could not pre-
vent the disaster.
