'JEANNETTE GLIDER ON SINGLE
HAPPINESS.

The best way to be happy if you are
going to be single is to be born into a
large family and to be compelled at an
early age to earn your own living. I
always wanted to be single. / liked the
independence of that condition, and l
always wanted to earn my own living,
and my two desires have been gratified.
1t has been my good fortune to have
had others besides myself to take care
of, and I think that that keeps ones
mind off matrimony. l have preferred
that people should be dependent upon
me rather that that I should be de
pendent upon people, and have had my
preference. l have never been 'lone
woman" for I have always lived with
some of my family and had for time
a brood of motherless children to look
after. When their father took them,
| missed them sadly. He left one
with me, my niece, now a girl of four
teen years, whom l have had since she
was five. 1 won't say that l would be
very happy though single without her.
My own child could not give me a
greater interest in life, and suppose
that my feelings toward her are very
much those of a mother. Then I have
had brothers that l could always call
upon for the thousand and one things
that a woman needs a man to do for her.
Work and plenty of it goes far towards
making a single woman happy. When
1 look about me 1 don't see so many
married women whose lives are par
ticularly happy. I could count all the
happy marriages that know of in a very
short time.
A marriage need not be downright UNI
happy to be uncomfortable I look at a
great many wives whose husbands are
not unkind, but who do not get on with
them very we'll, and I don't think that
they are happy.
Happiness depends good deal upon
the disposition, and if an old maid has a
cheerful disposition she will be happier
than her married neighbor who hasn't
cannot understand how the simple fact
of being unmarried can make mOman
unhappy. l should think that there
would have to be some better reason
than that.
To me personally it has always been
a matter of congratulation that am an
old maid 1t was the same when I was
young maid. l have enjoyed life as
much as most people and more than
many, and have never felt lonesome.
There has always been some one to bid
me good luck when I go out and to well
come me when I come in. might be
cross and sour if I had not had the
blessing of companionship.
If when I went out in the morning
there was no one to wave me adieu, and
if came home to the welcome of cat,
1 don't think that I should be very
happy even though single. have al
ways had some one to be interested in
and to be interested in me, and these
are blessings without much matrimony

4 GirPs Bicycle Feat.

Miss Belle Steele of Deposit, N. Y., is bloomer girl whose courage is not lacking, even ill dangerous places. Dur ing the last two weeks ten wheelmen have fallen into the canal while trying to pass on the wide towpath underneath the old white bridge at Traeeyville. It was thought to be hoodooed spot for cyclers. But Miss Steele, as taunt for the male riders, declared she could pass under the bridge on her wheel six times within one foot of the waters edge for wager of $10. The money being put up, she undertook the feat on Wednes- day night. The six trips were made in less than ten minutes, the rider going within few inches of the waters edge each time. A big crowd turned out to see the new woman dissipate supersti- tious notion of the men, and they were delighted when the plucky wheelwoman got the money. Buffalo Express.

THE LABOR BUREAU.
Pushing Investigations In New Field of
 Inquiry.

The bureau of labor has recently un- dertaken an independent investigation in field of inquiry which it has not be- fore entered. The work of American seamen ill the merchant service is the subject to which the officials of the bu- reau are deyoting a part of their atten- ton during the present season. Agents have been stationed at five principal ports of the country-New York, Bos- ton, Philadelphia, Baltimore and San Francisco-whose business it is to in- vestigate the conditions of the life and service of the common sailors employed Ill the merchant shipping carried on under the United States flag.
 The terms upon which seamen are employed, the wages paid them, the treatment accorded to them at sea, and incidentally the rations and accommo- dations furnished on shipboard are be- ing investigated. Particular attention Is being paid to the contracts made with seamen and to the custom which largely prevails among ship captains of engaging the services of middlemen to enlist their crews.

 Miss J. R. Hoppin arrived recently at San Francisco from the South Sea islands She has been for five years 8 missionary among the natives of Kusai. or Ouatan, er Streng's island, one of the Caroline islands.
 There is a new king on Apemama island, she reports-perhaps the young est king in the world who is actually ruling. He is IA years old and succeeds his father, old Ten Benoke, made famous by Robert Louis Stevenson.
 Since his coronation he has been get ting the venerable cAieftains much wrought up by dignifying his play mates with cumbrous titles. He likes missionaries and manifests a disposition to let them train the boys and girls to wear clothes and teach them to behave.
 Kusai island has king who plunged his little realm-ten miles long by seven miles wide-into debt the first year he had things his own way by buying whaleboats That was six years ago, and his subjects have been working out the debt ever since making copra three months in every 12 for the sovereign and now have it nearly paid. The orig inal burden was 5000, but it created more trouble in Kusai than Cleveland's s bond transaction did in this country. This monarch s name is Togusa. He was chosen because he had been a com mon sailor six years and was "edu- cated, !" had been to San Francisco and chewed tobacco. New York World

The Views of Sarcastic Briton.

Uncle Sam has got boat,
 They call her the Defender And every time she gets afioat
 They take her home and mend her. Sometimes it her hollow gaff, And sometimes Us her rigging; She tossed about as free as chaff Whene'er the sea goes jigging When explanation time comes round Their tongues are tipped with honey. It goes with some, but more are found Who think it very funny. We've heard enough to fill book About her speed--on paper But when she tries 1t off the Hook It's quite another caper. Of course the nerves of British tars Are shaken by this thunder; They know that nothing wearing spars Can beat the Bristol wonder. Dunrayen sends clumsy crock, With every kind of failing; She hasn't got spar or block
 Can stand "blow' in sailing. It surely was great surprise
 To find that she got over. If Cranfield saw her with our eyes He'd stay at home in clover. But Britons are as thick as glue They never know they're beaten. Since hints on winning Waterloo We're given free at Eton. Valkyrie cannot stand the pinch; John Bull won't bet penny; Dunraven hasn't got cinch-
 See views of Arthur Glennie. But still there are some cranks who say When times are fairly reckoned Aud all is over down the bay
 She'll be no worse than second.

What the Gold Standard Does For tho
 Workingman.

"What will the gold standard do for the workingman?" asks the editor of an alleged labor paper. The answer is easy. It will continue to do just what it has been doing whenever adopted. It will furnish him with standard of values which makes it certain that his wages will not fall through decline in their purchasing power. It will enable him to buy more goods of all kinds than if he received cheaper money. It will guar antee him against being paid in de- preciated or fuctuating currency. It will make his deposits in the savings bank worth as much year or five years hence as they are now.
 By giving business stable financial basis it will enable his employers to run their business steadily, thus insur- ing him against loss of work through the unsettlement of industry, which would exist under the silver standard. It will help extend our foreign trade by keeping our commerce on the same ba- sis as that of the leading nations of the world, and thus aid ill making markets for his surplus products. It will serve his best interests by encouraging the accumulation of capital and it's invests ment in productive industry and so add ing to the demand for labor. It will create a common interest between all countries having the same standard. and thus tend to diminish the national jealousies and wars which in tho long run injure most the workingman. It will give him the standard of values used by all the highest wage paying countries of the earth, instead of that used by the Chinese, Hindoos and Mex jeans. These are some of the thines which the gold standard will do for tho workingman. Will the 90 cent dollars do as much?

A Law That Fits the Crime.

A boy has just been publicly shot in Mexico for placing Instructions on a railroad track. A new law provides this penalty for such an offense, and it fits the crime. Its general adoption in this country would undoubtedly reduce the number of railroad fatalities. Boston Herald.

 ter of the globe Syracuse Post.
 When it is remembered that the two Cunarders are much larger than the St. Louis. the success of the Cramps ill giv- ing the American ship equal speed IS an augury of victory for American ship yards ill every detail of construction. It will not be long before foreigners will put their orders for ships where they can get the best--namely, Ill the United States. New York Herald.
 A vessel that can maintain a speed of over 22 knots an hour for four hours IS certain to be q valuable auxiliary cruiser, and the report of the officers o1 the United States navy on board will doubtless recommend her acceptance by the department. Of course the St. Louis could not maintain the speed indefi- nitely or perhaps under ordinary condl- lions. but she is certainly one of the fastest vessels afleat, and that IS satls- faction enough. -Providenc Journal
 Apropos of the St. Louis achieve ment it may be remarked that European nations require no speed test of their subsidized steamers which at all com- pares with the 20 knot exactlon or tno American law, and that our fourth class crafts are faster than most of the mer- chant steamers of foreign countries.

a Eook For Young Men.

An immeasurable amount of suf-
fering and injury to the human

tion of physiological laws by the

tices are indulged in, through the
ignorance Of the inevitable injury
to constitution and health which
surely follows. BY every young
man, the divine injunction, "Know
Thyself," should be well needed. To
assist such in acquiring a knowledge
of themselves and Of how to pre-
serve health, and to shun those
pernicious and most destructive
practices, to which so many fall
victims, as well as to reclaim and
point out the means of relief and
cure to any who may unwittingly
have violated Natures laws, and
are already suffering the dire con-
sequences. An association of med
ical gentlemen have carefully pre-
pared a little book which is replete
with useful information to every
young man. It will be sent to any

Stewart Looking After Silver.

WARRINGTON, April 3.-Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, is still in the
city, and he declares that he will re-
main here to look after the interest
of the new free silver party. Stew
art has finally severed his relations
with the Republican party, and he
asserts in the most positive terms
that his colleague, Jones, of Neva-
da, is uncompromisingly committed
to the silver issue, Senator Stew
art says that neither he nor Jones
viii vote with the Republican party
again on the question of the reor-
ganization of the Senate or any
other that may arise.
Stewart is really in charge of the
interests of the silver party now,
He predicts that his party will car
ry the country in 1896 on the free
coinage issue, The Senator is no
doubt seriously in earnest and self
convinced of the coming success of
his new party, but he is too much
of an enthusiast to give his predic-
tions any great weight.

GOOD FRIDAY.

Next Friday Zone week from to-
day. is Good Friday, and while
thinking that it was nearly two
thousand years ago that Christ died
on the cross, we ran across the fol
lowing in one of our exchanges and
reproduce it, as we regard it as
wonderful if it is true:
The spectacles of the starry hea,
vens presents to mankind the most
wonderful works of the Almighty
that are visible to us. And astron-
.omers have made such great pro-
gress of late years, that we are in
formed long beforehand of the eX-
act period of the most remarkable
phenomena, such as the eclipse of
the sun and moon, the motions of
the planets, the rising and setting
OF the principal stars and constel-
lations, the transit Of Venus across
the suns disk, etc. But the follow
ing copied from the Norwalk Conn,
Sentinel, is certainly the most in
teresting of all the predictions
heretofore made, There may be
nothing significant in this wonder
full coincidence, but it should at
least excite in us a profound rever-
ence for the great God who created
all these worlds and has kept them
revolving through space from age
to age, and will no doubt continue
to do so for all time to come;
"The year 1895 will be a remarka-
bic one, both from the astronomical
and religious point of view. On
Good Friday next april l2) the
heavenly bodies which gravitate
round the sun will be in exactly the
same positions they occupied in the
armament the day Christ died on
the cross. It will be the first time
such a thing has occurred since that
great day, just 1862 years ago,
That was the thirty-third year of
the Christian era, which dates from
the birth of Jesus Christ"
