THE APoLLzNARZS COMPANY, LL8l

The change from the third to the first person probably marks David's rising wrath at the thought of his recalcitrant help remaining contumacious.
 The beer duty, too, was subject of of some difficulty, and one, Psammeti- chus, who was the revenue officer of the day, places on record the fact that two brewers had at last paid him the duty on their nectar for year. Next to the servant-girl difficulty, the ques- tion of rates rent and taxes seems to have most bothered the ancient Egyp- tian, and his receipts were preserved with serupulous care. Probably the taxgatherer had bad memory, and it was just as we'll to keep something to refresh it when he called absent-mind- edly second time. A schoolboy's copybook, with composition in very bad Greek, was also found, and it would seem that the unhappy youth had to write lines from a letter of the Emperor Hadrian as punishment with very sound moral pointing out that. Thus does heaven ever bring the wicked to justice" A bankers ledger gives the names of his depositors and the sums they withdrew from their ac- counts; and generally the discoveries of the explorers in Egypt show that the world has not advanced very far dur ing the last two thousand years.

JVHISKERS AND WIND.

Observing correspondents who at tended the Chicago convention were much struck by the quantity and qual- ity of the whiskers which were intl- nately associated with the wind or that convention. Observing corre- spondents who are attending the Pop uiist convention at St. Louis appear to be even more struck by the whisk- CTS which are whirling and waving there than they were by those which whirled and waved at Chicago. Bushels of whiskers" is one of the ex- pressions used to describe the hairy situation, and it is very evident that whiskers and wind have come togeth- CT at St. Louis in very unusual way.
 It may be argued by some that be- cause Samson's strength was in his hair the prevalence of whiskers at St. Louis is indicative of strength. But there was only one Samson and there is no legitimate connection between ''the seven locks of his head" and the whiskers of the Populists. The latter indicate wildness and wind rather than strength. And the wiidness and wind are weak If they were not there would be another tornado at St. Louis. It is lucky for the place that the whisk- CTS, the wiidness and the wind that are now coincident there are of the quali- ty they are.

THORNs FOR rnE BRoW oF LABOR

IHORNS FOR TIL E BROW OF LABOR.
 In 1885 the congress of the United States of Colombia made paper money payable in gold or silver legal tender for all debts. That happened which would happen in this country if cor responding attempt were made to put silver and gold on an equality. Gold, which is valuable for more uses, and tions, went immediately out of sight as currency. It stood last year at a premium of 190 per cent. During the decade wages have increased, payable in the debased currency of the coun- try, 50 per cent. But all provisions have increased in cost about 200 per cent. Meats, which were selling in 1885 at twelve to fifteen cents per pound, have jumped to forty and fifty cents. House rents have increased from 100 10 200 per cent. Table board has doubled As for wearing apparel, the people no longer have money to buy the qualities which they used to wear, and the coun- try is flooded with the poorest goods, which bring higher prices than good fabrics used to sell for.
 Is this the kind of thing which those who labor want? And are these the thorns which the Boy Orator thinks would do the brow of labor good when pressed down upon it?

splendent with an exquisite bit of jewel and beaded lace eollaring about the square neck and from the butterfly bows that finish the belt in front are set two jeweled pieces to correspond. The whole character of the gown Is changed. and yet there is about it the becomingness of simple outline and the dainty white with the gleam of silk through. It used to be the fashion to save ones graduating dress intact but now it's the fashion to have as many good times out of it the summer follow ing as possible. The slim pocket that does not want to be suspected of econ- omy--a dread of poverty only--elabo- rates the dress more The skirt is em- powered with little frills, the neck is cut out little more than before, lace, ribbon and some jeweled buckles are added. Then, having been made sepa- rate from it's white silk lining, 1t will serve over other silk slips of other coll ors. With ribbon accessories to match q girl can really get through summer with only her graduating frock, adapt ed over and over for best, for dancing, for garden party, etc A white silk tis- sue when slightly nussed and soiled will cleanse by being carefully brushed with soft hair brush constantly dipped in flour. It is quite a job, but the gown comes out as good as new af- ter a pressing unless stained The cost is slight and the dress need not be spared as long as would be necessary for regular cleansing.

 Now that she is graduated she bursts into ruflles, frills and all sorts of dainty frivolities. but if she is a wise young belle one of her prettiest gowns is that in which she stood up to read the class poem just little while ago. This gown has grown gayer, too, because for graduating it followed the strictest taste and was perfectly plain, it's skirt just touching all around and spreading prettily towards the hem, with never a trace of ornament only the silk of the fond (that means foundation, but it's more swagger) gleaming through. The neck was cut out square, showing no more than the rise of the graceful throat front and back, a fold of the tis- sue of which the gown was made and a tiny frill finished the neck line and an unelaborated satin belt clasped the waist.

4 TORNADO I'll

An interesting theory concerning the acton or tornadoes receives support from John c. Barrows, who has been Investigating the St. Louis tornado. MT. Barrows suggests that a. large part of the damage to buildings in St. Louis may have been due, not to the direct force of the wind but to the fact that the great vortex of the tornado, by it's immense suction power, suddenly re- duced the atmospheric pressure over the region through which it was pass ing, causing the air inside of buildings to expand and wreck them as if by an explosion of gunpowder. In going over the devastated district he noticed that the walls of many demolished struc- lures had fallen outward, and that most of the broken glass and even the window frames for blocks around were blown out and lying on the sidewalk or in the side yards. A five story mas sive brick building, used as trunk factory, had almost it's entire south wall piled on the ground beside it, ex- posing the floors and roof untouched. And, stranger than all, piles of light empty trunks stood on several floors near the missing wall. Only seven had fallen out, the proprietor said, and they fell just outside and did not blow | away. Pressure from within had evil dently forced out this enormous wall, but once that pressure was relieved, the lightest objects were left undis- turbed. Is it not possible, he asks, l that the atmospheric pressure over an area about half mile in circumfer- ence and rapidly moving eastward was | reduced so largely and so suddenly as 1 to account for it? A reduction of one l and one half pounds of atmospheric pressure out of the fifteen pounds to
 the square inch, if effected instantly,
 would afford bursting pressure of | two hundred and sixteen pounds to the 1 square foot of internal surface of a roof | or wall provided the inclosed air could not escape. Barometers have recorded l such changes in the immediate vicinity of great storms within very short
 space of time. May the change not
 have been instantaneous in this case?
 If there is anything in this theory,
 and there seems to be something, it will
 be we'll for those who live on the line of
 a tornado and have time and presence 1 of mind enough to think of it to open
 their doors and windows so as to give
 the air inside of their houses a chance
 to expand without expanding the houses.

Nothing New Under the Sun.

Thanks to the exertions of the Egyp- tian exploration fund, the beginning of the servantgirl difficulty has been traced somewhat farther back than the advent of board-schools, a date to which certain minimizing persons usu- ally assign it. A very interesting col
 lection of papyri found last winter in Egypt is now on view at the Society Of Antiquaries' premises in Burlington House, and many of these deal with the everyday life of the people who lived along the Nile two thousand years ago. Even at that remote period the domes- tic servant question had reached an acute stage. One of the time-worn documents unearthed by Messrs. Hunt and Grenfell at Kom-el-Qatl states that. David has taken Thacsia back on condition that she returns to her work and busies herself with it's duties. otherwise I shall put her in prison"

The avalanche was caused primarily by the splitting away of the lower parts of the Altels glacier.

Genuine egret feathers are sold as artificial in London in order to salve the conscience of women who think it wrong to wear bird feathers in their headgear. The Society for the Protec- tion of Birds had shown that the egret or white heron would soon be exter- minated, as the feathers must be ob- tained during the nesting season. Its agents have now proved that the only artificial thing about the feathers sold is that they are split in two, thus mak- ing two plumes instead of one.

An interesting illustration of the de- moralizing effects of great war has come to light in Germany. It appears that the number of prisoners in State prisons there rose steadily from 1870 to 1882, and that it has fallen as steadily since that time. To-day the number of incarcerated criminals in Germany is 25,232 In 1882, with 100000 fewer of population, the number was 30,531. In 1886 it was S,577. Of the 25,232 in State prisons now the large majority is made Ip of men and women who were de-
 moralized by the effects of the war of 1870-71. as shown by their personal sta
 tistics; S5.62 per cent. of the men and 76.44 per cent. of the women are hard ened criminals, who have passed one or more terms in State prisons This shows that comparatively small per- centage of confirmed criminals of to- day recruits itself from the ranks of tho younger generation-a hopeful sign.
