OF these women are notorious. Tho

Grass or Grace.

According to recent researches. the
phrase ''grass widow" is a corrup-
tion OF "grace widow" which is a
term for one who becomes a widow by
grace or favor. not of necessity, as
by death. 1t originated in the earlier
days Of European civilization. when
divorces were but seldom granted.
and then ouly by authority of the
church. When such a decree was
granted to q woman the rescript
stated: '"Viduca de gratia," which
interpreted is "widow of grace" A
woman receiving such divorce was
commonly called "a grace widow"
and the transition to '.grass widow"
was easy. This latter term Is, in the
United States, applied to q woman
whose husband has been away from
her considerable length of time, or
who has deserted her. There is
reason in this. The lazy husband
lets his wife 60 to grass. On the
other hand, the lone widow may be
full Of grace. She is never full OF
grass.

From the Swiss meteorological rec

that hail is more frequent in valleys
than on mountains. that it occurs Of
teuer near marshes and in lake val

that river valleys in the path of
thunder storms favor its formation,

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The old party papers are not saying
much about many Populist victories in
cities and townships at the late spring
elections. The returns, however, are
coming in by slow freight. Pueblo,
Colo, city of $4,000 population, elect
ed Populist mayor. while Leadville,
with 11.000 population, elected a Pop
ulist city ticket. Moline, H., with a
population of $4,000 elected Populist
mayor by 400 majority. In Illinois the
Populists elected a large number of
county supervisors throughout the
state. Many small towns throughout
the country were carried wholly or in
part by the Peoples party. These are
straws.
The late municipal and township
elections throughout the country have
demonstrated in many places a sur
prising strength to the cause of Pop
ulism-the Peoples party carrying
many towns and cities, where the Pop
ulist vote was light before. This is
most encouraging to the old parties.
The average earnings of labor in 1892
was $3.50; in 1894, it dropped to $195. and
the prospects are that the average for
1895 will be still lower. On the other
hand, millionaire incomes are increas-
ing, and official salaries climbing Are
you going to be foolish enough to vote
for continuance of system that
makes such conditions possible?
1t Is said that nearly 1900 children
are unable to attend school in San
Francisco. How can the so-called
humanitarians of to-day, who shut their
eyes to the environments of the poorer
classes, expect to build a noble man.
hood and womanhood where the great
majority of the children are denied
proper education?
It is estimated by Superintendent
Byrnes and Elbridge T. Gerry that
there are 10000 prostitutes in the city
of New York. 1t is safe to say that
large per cent of these unfortunates
are driven by poverty to a life Of
shame. What fearful responsibility
is resting upon those who are forcing
present conditions upon this country.
Poverty, such as is forced upon one-half
the American people to-day. can have
no other than demoralizing effect, the
wont features of which are to be reaD
ixes.
