CLOSING WARNER AssEMBL

The closing dance of the Warner as
sembly was held in Warner hall last
night. The attendance was not as large
as usual, but the dance was decidedly
enjoyable one. 1t was the intention to
hold another dance if the attendance
warranted the same, but it was so small
last night that it was decided not to
have another. These dances have been
held at intervals of about two weeks
throughout the winter and have proved
extremely delightful diversions.

riage that had made Washington hold its
breath, when Mrs. Douglas went into the
retirement of recluse. The great shadow
that had fallen upon the country had
shrouded her home and her heart, and she
was no longer the leader of gayety and
fashion. -.~ 2ee~-r-- ,-.---F<s
In fey years she became the wife OF
Gen. Roger Williams, U. S. A. 1t was
the common usage in Washington to point
him out as the husband of Mrs. Stephen A.
Douglas, and yet dame rumor in some OF
her garrulous moods, it is said, hints that
this was the gay cavalier who waited for
the tide to come his way.
A political and military life widely
differ; while one placed Mrs. Douglas on
the top wave of popular society, the other
carried her often into frontier life. A
greater change could not be imagined
than from queen of society in Washington
to my lady of the Post out on the Great
American Desert.
Not so many years ago / was traveller
on one of the great transcontinental rail-
wavs. At station west of the Missouri
River woman, plainly clad in black
throughout, entered our car. She was
moiestly retiring in appearance; there
was nothing to mark her above other

Whispered in my ear THAT woman was
once Mrs. Stephen A. Douglas"
There was not touch or a suggestion
remaining of the brilliant, beautiful leader
of society.

SQUAD, ONE DAY OLD.

After this milky change in the food takes
place, it is necessary for the health of the
old birds that it should be "fed off, and this
is why no change Of young is advised at
once. Pigeons losing their young from
any cause before this soft-food period is
past are frequently made sick; so much
so as TO Interfere with their immediate
laying. Consequently the breeder needs
to pay attention to this time, and if he
finds the young of a pair dead, he should
then borrow one from another pair, about
the same age, which they can feed, until
the danger is passed, when it can be re-
turned to the original nest Experience
will teach any one how to make these
changes so that they shall keep the stock
increasing.
Frequently a pair will build, and although
they go to nest, and perform all the duties
of mated pair, there will be no eggs.
This proves that the hen is either not well
matured or barren. Such pair if given
| pair of fertile eggs will likely sit on them.
| hatch them, and care well for the young,
| and often the natural functions of the hen
are aroused and she will commence laying,
as she is expected to do. If after raising a
pair of young, the hen still neglects to lay.
you can count her as barren, and of no
use, and she should be cast aside and the
male provided with a new mate.
| Often where there are two squads in a
nest. one will seem to get the greater part
Of the food, and be plump and thrifty,
while the other is puny and starved Why
| it is that the old birds seem to favor one
more than the other no one can explain,
but the fact remains. The way to do in
such cases is either to transfer the weaker
bird TO pair with single bird about its
size, or TO feed it by hand. To feed by
hand soak the grain you feed in water,
until soft: and then feed a grain at time
until the little crop is filled; or, take pellets
OF moist bread and feed in the same way.

mouth, chew it fine, and then by inserting
the squads bill between the lips, by the aid
of the tongue force the food into the squads
mouth. A little practice will enable one
to feed very quickly, and the young bird
learns to take it as readily, and manifests

may not at first strike any favorably,
but on learning how many squads can be
saved and raised by this process, and
putting it in practice, ones sQueamishness
is overcome and the practice found to be
not such disagreeable one as at first
supposed. After feeding in this way few
days, and getting the neglected bird in
good condition, the old birds will be likely
to pay it more attention and feed it as they
are expected to do

and it is said that one only was successful,
and he was put on the waiting list. About
this time the Little Giant Of the West was
making his forensic accomplishments a
factor in the great political questions Of the
day. He was indeed a giant in his party.
He was a leader in the Kansas-Nebraska

KATE CHASE.
All sojourners in Washington in the
early sixties must have been pleasantly
familiar with the form and features of beau
tiful Kate Chase. All Washington knew
the bond that bound so closely together
father and daughter; every ambition that
was his was hers also; she lived, breathed
and worked for his advancement.
Salmon p. Chase had been United States
Senator from Ohio in 1S49. He was Gov
ernor of Ohio in 1855, and reelected in 1857
| He was President Lincoln's first Secretary
of the Treasury. The financial policy thai

CHINESE FACTORY GIRLS.
They Appear Happy In Spite Of Long Hours and Small
Wages.
Los Angeles Times.

LoS AHgettS LpeS.
A lady who has resided several wears
IN CHINA draws an attractive picture of
the girls in the Chinese silk factories
She says they are the gayest and brightest
OF the native workers. The factories
are large, clean, carefully ventilated,
and well regulated. The girls are charm
ingly dressed in blue, with little deco
rated slippers. and smooth hair, decked
with flowers, and Slyer-gllt or enameled
pins, and each has two mirrors, her hair
brush and her tooth brush. How much
these are priced is shown by the fact that
their forfeiture is the punishment for mis-
conduct. Some of the workers powder
their faces, though many of the country
women have cheeks of rosy pink. One
factory at Sing Chang employs 800 native
girls, with European foreman and Euro
pean general manager. The work begins
at $50 a. III. There is 1O-minute rest
for light breakfast, which is taken by
the hands at their working places, the
| machinery being stopped meanwhile. At
II O'Clock the work is laid aside an hour
| for dinner, which is eaten in large room.
| The girls make common stock of their
provisions. Each girl has at her side,
While at work, a little teapot in a padded
basket, and tiny teacup. She drinks
| tea frequently, without milk or sugar
and in small quantities. The working
day is a trifle under nine hours. In one
| department, where the cocOons are stripped
of their outer covering. and dropped into
separate baskets, according to their quality,
the work is by the piece and many women
work only few hours per day. Wages
| average about IL cents a day. In the
| next department the sorting is more pre-
else, and here the wages average IL cents
| a day throughout the year. The spin
ming room is a pretty sight with its row of
blue-robed girls. In preparing the cocoons
for the spinner, each cocoon is brushed
until the end Of the thread appears. Six
cocoon threads go to make the final fila
ment, and each spinner works with SO
cocoons in a pan before her. The children
here earn five cents day, working from
8 a. m. to 5 p. m, while the women earn
| about cents day. In the finishing
department there is the same attention to
neatness of appearance as in the rest of the
factory, the girls being scrupulously clean
and tastefully dressed. Neatness is taken
as an evidence of intelligence, and no
sovenly girl could find place in the fla
ture. The last department of the factory is
the packing room. Here the skeins are
packed close, formed into square bundles
marked as to quality, and wrapped in
white cotton for shipment to the mills of
Europe to be made into fabric.

one egg will be fertile, and the other
clear. If you have kept the date that the
eggs. were laid, and have two pairs that
have had eggs close together, and both
with one fertile egg and one clear, one pair
can be broken up, and their egg given to
| the other pair, and in a week or so the hen
that has been left without eggs will be
ready to lay again. Never give one pair
| of birds three eggs, because two young
birds are all, really, that an old pair can
feed properly, and to divide the care between
| three that should be given only to two will
| result in all three being under size.
If a hen sits her full time, and at the end
of the 18th day there are no young,
the eggs might as well be taken from the
pair, as it is only waste of time to allow
them to sit longer. The young often die
in the shell from chill, or other unknown
causes, week before the time for Matching
comes around. Careful observation and
experience will teach the breeder to tell
about this time whether there is still life
in the egg, by hplding it between the eye
and a strong light, and if all life seems to
be extinct. take such eggs away. If one
mitted to hatch the fertile egg, and then
after the young bird is a week old, and the
old birds have fed Off their soft food, this
young bird can be transferred to some
other pair that has only one young. Make
the transfer to the pair that are known to
be the best feeders.

To Change a Current for Climates Sake.

A Toxic journal is responsible for the
following: "Vladiyostock being the ter
minus OF the Siberian railway, is most
important port in Russia. Notwithstand
ing this fact, for over four months during
the cold season the port is blocked with ice
and Spring traffic is entirely impossible,
and therefore the railway loses much of its
advantages. The Russian authorities
have endeavored for many years to conquer
nature, and some years ago breaking
ships were introduced TO break open the ice,
but it has been found that the operation
is useless.
"A certain engineer has hit upon the
rather wonderful idea of recaiming the
narrowest part of the Tartar Strait, between
SaghaIien and the Russian mainland.
He is Of opinion that if this is done the cold
current enteringthe japanese Sea from the
Arctic, via Behring Straits, will be checked,
and the passage of the warmer tide, coming
from the south, through the Suyshima
Strait, will make the water on the coasts
OF Japan as well as at Vladivostock, warm
er, and the latter will be warmer all the
year around. This scheme was presented
TO the Russian Government for approval,
and it is now engaged in its investigation
