The express companies Of the United
States were buster and more prosperous
last month than in any previous month Of
their history. Why should they not get
together and favor the public with some
concessions in their charges, which are now
unpleasantly high? Every one of the great
railroads of the country has cut down it's
freight rates extensively in recent years,
and most of them have lowered the prices
for passenger tickets. What reductions
have the express companies made? The
tendency of the times is to give the pub
lie much more for it's money than was
given in the seventies and even in the
eighties, and the express companies can
probably well afford to be in the fashion.

Origin Of the visiting Card.

As is the case in many other in-
stances, we owe the invention ofyisit-
ing cards to the Chinese. Solongago
as the period Of the Tong dynasty
(61S-90O visiting cards were in COM
mon use in China, and that is also the
date Of the Introduction Of the red
silken cords which figure so conspic-
uously on the engagement cards Of
that country From very ancient
times to the present day the Chinese
have observed the strictest ceremony
with regard to the paying Of visits.
The cards which they use for this pur-
pose are very large, and usually of a
bright red color When Chiraman
desires to marry, his parents intimate
that fact to a professional "match-
maker who thereupon runs through
list OF her visiting acquainances
and selects one whom she considers
a fitting bride for the Young man;and
then she calls upon the young wom-
ans parents, armed with the BRIDE
groom's card, on which are inscribed
his ancestral name and the eight SYM
bols which denote the day Of his birth.
If the answer is'an acceptance Of his
suit, the brides card is sent in return;
and should the oracles prophecy good
concerning the union, the particu-
lars Of the engagement are writtenon
two large cards, tied together with the
red cords. ,rfn

THE COLOSSEUM AT ROME.
Made Ridiculous by Addition of Incon-
gruous Modern Paraphernalia.

The Romans have the hideous
habit of periodically lighting the
Colosseum, during the tourist season,
with Bengal lights, and, what is
more amazing still, says the Pail Mall
Gazette, usually succeed in making a
financial success of it, although no
one was ever known to 90 twice
There is the additional abomina-
tion in these days of big brass band
and a chorus of a hundred voices sin
an invocation to the Flayian amphi-
theater. The effect is tremendous,
but somewhat stunning to those who
are accustomed to their Colosseum
empty and flooded with peaceful
moonlight, where pictures from the
past rise with the clearness Of see
ond sight, and no sound is heard bat
ones own breathing or the song of
the nightingale. Contrast with such
a scene the red, blue and yellow Ben
gal lights, the smoke, the confusion,
the hundred shriekmg throats, and
the clang Of the brazen Instruments!
Imagination shrinks, and curses the
Roman of to-day with whom such
thing is possible. But it his FAULTY

REPAIRING WATCHES.
Broken Parts More Easily Replaced Tha
Formerly.

"Repairing watches is an easy task
now compared to what it was when
] learned the trade" volunteered a
matchmaker to Washington Star
reporter. Gas far as American-made
watches are concerned, there is prac-
tically no necessity in making any
thing any more, for all the parts art
sold by the factories and can be re-
placed instantly without any labor,
excepting, Of course, that required in
taking the watch apart, replacing the
injured or broken part and putting it
together again This is an advan-
tage in favor of the American watch,
and is what is slowly, but surely, driy-
ing the Swiss watch out of our mar
ket. The Swiss watch manufacturers
will not sell parts by the quantity to
the trade. The result is that when
new parts are needed to repaira Swiss
watch it has to be made outright, and
the matchmaker necessarily has to
charge considerable for the work.

GLASS I'm CANDY.
English Chemist Discovers Disbolical
Practice Of a French Confectioner


Practice Of French confectioner
The production Of meden sweets
is undoubtedly fine art judging from
the innumerable varieties made and
the countless way in vogue Of making
them attractive. At one time the
most deplorable practice prevailed
Of employing such poisonous substi-
tutes as chromium. lead, copper, or
even murcury and arsonic,as coloring
agents in sweets. The use Of such
Objectionable coloring agents became
happily obsolete. and, speaking gen
orally. modern confectionery is now
pure. True. the colorng agent is
often an aniline die, but SO great is
the tinctorial power Of such dyes that
it is probable several pounds OF the
sweets would contain at most a few
grains Of the dye, and then the dye
may be perfectly harmless.
A somewhat unexpected and most
Objectionable method Of manipulat-
ing sweets has just been brought to
our notice. SAYS the london Lancet.
Sweets are made to glitter by means
Of splinters OF glass, so that the sweet

THE JOURNAL PETTIFOGGING
AGAIN

The following, from the Journal, is In
teresting as a piece of pettifogging Of
the kind often resorted to by small law
yers before jury, which consists In
true depending on the ignorance of the
jurors to shield themselves;
"The o b undertakes to convict the
Journal of inconsistency because this pa
per insists that the tariff was not in-
tended to provide protection for ono
Anne: lean industry against another while
1t at the same time supports the Grout
Dill. If the Grout bill were what the
q b e represents it to be the charge of
Inconsistency might stand, but the Grout
bill is not measure intended to attack
one industry in the interest of and for
the benefit Of another. The Grout bill
is simply an effort to enforce honesty
where 1t seems impossible to get it in any
other way. When hog butter ceases to be
palmed off on the unsuspecting and I'M
protected public for cows butter, but Is
offered and sold for just what it is, there
will be no demand for discrimination
against it. The G b says that the
Grout bill was intended to cut off COM
petition that trust might flourish
The Journal knows that the opponents
Of the Grout bill were willing to favor
oily SlS4oItlOu Indl WOuIu COuDel the
producers Of oleomargarine to stamp it
in such way that no one could be de-
ceived. That industry was willing to go
into the field and compete with the but
termakers honestly, and place their goods
on the market for what they are. But
this did not satisfy the butter trust. It
was not honesty that they desired, but
a monopoly The dairy compissioner of
Ohio testified before the senate commit
tee that the people would buy cleo, in
preference to butter If they could get it
cheaper. The tax was demanded, not for
the purpose Of protecting the people from
fraud, but to protect the buttermakers
in their prices. All this the Journal
knows, or should know, before it enters
into discussion of the ethics Of the
question.
The Gil b reiterates the statement
that the Grout bill was intended to cut
off competition that a trust might -four
ish, and that, too. in a line of necessary
food stuff. In all the fuss made over that
Grout bill. there was no evidence adduced
to show that oleomargarine was an I'M
wholesome food, or that any persons were
deceived to their detriment A gIarinR
misrepresentation of fact like the above
Is unworthy of the Journal We cannot
presume it is ignorance. Such a defense
is more than a confession.

British nation. 1t at present occupies
a hopelessly false position before the
country; and it is not surprising that
disunion should exist in it's ranks or that
its prestige before the country should be
reduced to minimum.
Every friend of liberal institutions and
of the progress of the masses will hope
that the fortunes of the British Liberal
party may soon be mended The great
est achievements of the race during the
century are due to its statesmen, and
Its policies have, in operation, liberalized
British opinion and broadened the
horizon OF the nation. Gladstone is not
long enough in his grave for even the
most inconstant public to forget the
achievements of the great political Or
ganization whose forces he marshaled
to victory for SO many years. Let us
hope that when this wretched war is
ended, and the English people have been
restored to their complete senses, they
will soon return to their devotion to the
aims and purposes of the great party of
British liberalism
