NEW BUILDING REGULATIONS
Alderman Barr Prssides and
Rushes Through His Pet Ordi-
nance-Inspector Kelly's
Report.

The Aldermen met last night. In ths
absence Of Chairmen Simpson the honol
to preside was conferred upon Alderman
Barr. the jolly member from GreenyDle
He performed his duties with the air Of
an old timer. That all the Aldermen are
growing more or less popular was dem
onstrated by the unusual number of in
vitations which were sent them to at
tend balls. The Hartman Association,
named in honor of the Alderman, desired
their presence, the Lincoln Social Club is
anxious to go to Woods Hall Thursday
evening and hear Congressman McEwan
talk about The Martyred President
the Young Mems Republican Club insist
that they shall attend its fourth annual
ball to be held in Music Hall February Is,
n finally the Hudson County Bottlers'
Association want them to attend ITS ball
in Pohlmann's tonight. The several in
vitations were accepted.
Applications were filed for one liquor
license. nineteen transfers and six ped
dlers. All were subsequently granted.
William ]. Connolly, a constable of the
First ward, sent in his resignation. He
has been appointed on the police force.
Several applications to erect frame
buildings in the fire limits were referred
to the Building Inspector with power.
The following ordinance which was in
roduc in January by Alderman Barr,
was passed by a unanimous vote:-
No person shall erect or cause TO be
erected, or aid in the erection of any
frame or wooden building in Jersey City,
the height of which exceeds thirty-seyen
cd feet from the level of the curbstone
regulation to top of roof, excepting frame
cottages or private dwellings with peak
roofs situate beyond the fire limits, which
shall be permitted Ito attain a height of
mot exceeding forty-ive (5 feet.
h ordinance was passed for the re-
lief of persons desiring to erect fancy
houses on the Heights. The old ordi-
nance restricted the height to SO feet.
as a consequence some builders were
prevented from adding cupolas to their
houses and cottages.
Building Inspector Kelly reported that
curing January he issued SIS permits for
tne erectlon OF buildings, seven for al
leratlons, 4 for extensions and for the
raising of a house. The sum invested
curing the month was $1o7. 566, divided In

A DISGRACE TO OUR sp1NNERs.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 1ss7.-consul
Grinnell, at Manchester, Eng, has sent
the State Department a statement Of the
large amount Of cotton yarn exported from
his consular district the past year 1886 to
the United States. aggregating nearly
10000 pounds. Much of this which in
cludes a great variety of Counts" is of
the finer qualities used by manufacturers
of fancy small wares and electrical or
other wire covers, and shows just where
the American spinrers are losing a market
which they might find very profitable. The
table shows 1856 pounds of rovings, 49,
429 of t-wo-seventies, 120, SIT pounds Of two
sixties, 97,730 of tw~o-hundreds, y and less
amounts Of sixty specified varieties.

BERMUDA's CYLINDER BURST.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10, 1S97.-While
the machinery Of the British
Bermuda of filibuster fame, now at this
city, was being tested yesterday, the low
er head Of the lower pressure cylinder
burst, damaging the machinery to the
extent of several thousand dollars. The
accident is believed to have been due to
the accumulation of water in the cylin-
der unknown to those in charge of the
engines at the time and when the ma
chinery was started it blew off the head
at least a week. The vessel had Just
been overhauled and the machinery re-
paired and everything was thought to be
IN good shape when the accident hap
naned.

A MARKET FOR OUR LUMBER,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 1S97.-Northern
France, which is now supplied with oak
lumber from Hungary, presents a good
field for American trade in that line, ac-
cording to report from Consul Angel, at
Roubaix, to the State Department. The
Hungarian product is said to b slightly
superior to American, but the difference in
price is thought to promise a fine market.
The Consul says that a single firm has
come to him, wanting $500, 600 worth of oak
a year. Small lots have been shipped from
this country to France. The French, how
ever, are particular about the method of
saving lumber, and insist upon proper
qnartering and heart cuts.

TONERS, they have never risen above the
ordinary standard" I'm science" he says,
lit is mediocrity. Until now a woman has
never set herself to solve a great scientific
problem; she has never found an original
solution to even an easy problem.
Prof. Adolph Gusscrow, at present at the
charity hospital in Berlin, taught for five
years in Zurich, where there are many fe-
male students among his pupils. His ex-
perience was that with a few exceptions
all the women manifested much earnestnes,
and application and displayed a sort of en-
thusiasm for their work. His astonishment
turned out that with one or two eXcep-
tions, the standard of their examinations
scarcely attained the average of ordinary
students"
DR.. Birch-Hirshfeld, director of the Patho-
logical institute at the University of Leipzig
confirms the impression. Even among our
most capable woman students we find a dim
Guilty to apprehend the relations of scien-
tific experiments one with the other and to
bring them under general ideas, although
they have a surprising faculty in accumulat-
ing a store Of notions of details" In other
terms, ''woman lacks the faculty of syn
thesis" and nearly all authorities consulted
agree on this point They admit that
women may become druggists or dentists
assistant doctors and nurses; they will never
become great physicians, and as for surgery
that Is not to be thought of-they have not
the necessary physical strength for that

matics express themselves much more favor

for these higher studies. They are said TO

finding 1t out. She has discovered that one
strap holds uD the stocking exactly as well
as two, and this she wears fastened 10 the
front of her corset, just back of the steel,
the effect of which Is to press the abdomen
back. Broad bands of elastic with strong
fsstenings at either end come ready to be
worn in this way; but there Is a scheme even
better than that, witch any woman can
make for herself Take a rather wide piece
of silk elastic, and encaseIit in two pieces
of ribbon stitched together and of the length
of the elastic when stretched to it's utmost
limit. Stitch one end gof this 20 the corset
just back of the steel. In the other end
work two strong eyelets. or better still, have
two corset eyelets clamped in, through
which to pass a yard of ribbon. Then sew
a loop of wash ribbon attached to the elastic
and tie in dainty bow.
This is exceedingly pretty in effect, holds
the stocking absolutely secure and keeps
an obtrusive abdomen in place. II 1t needs
anything more to recommend it, let it be
said that such an arrangement has just
been put upon q corset the exact counter
part of the 5000 one worn by the duchess
of Marlborough at her wedding. OF course
the eyelets in this case were of gold, as
were the eyelets and hooks of the corset !;
but this is fortunately not absolutely nee
essary to the perfect security of the stock

If the round garter is tight enough to
hold up the stocking without fold or wrin-
kle 1t is too tight to allow the blood to cir
culate unimpeded, and this structure is apt
to bring VaricOse veins and kindred ills.
Where one is afraid to trust herself entirely
to the security of the suspender, it is a
very good plan to wear also a round garter
