Woman's Ingenuity.

Some day poems will be written and
peans will be sung on the ingenuity Of
woman. The male world has for ages
voiced its rapture over voman's beauty.
her grace her hair, her eyes. her brows.
her lashcs. her lips. her ddmples and her
smiles. but It has never done justice to
her ingenuity.
There is no secret about woman's IN
genuity. An the world knows that she
can make 80 cents buy 1853 worth of
bargains, that she can make over last
years dress in a way that will deceive
anybody except another woman, and
that she can make a multiplicity Of pins
hold things together nearly as safely
as a furIong of sewing thread
She can supply Monday breakfast from
Sunday dinner and make the neighbors
think that her husband draws twice as
much salary as he gets. She can make
a few strands look like a full head Of
hair, and she can assume q cordial way
toward her meanest enemy, II she wants
to.
Woman has long manifested a magnf
icent talent for packing things away
really she has shown more ingenuity In
packing them away than In finding them

master hand in trunk packing. According

Harriet Atkinson of Brooklyn put the
following articles in a trunk thirty inches

Seventeen dresses, fifteen skirts, ten
pairs of boots, six bathing suits two
coats, ten lace collars. three sets of un-

UNCLE JOE AND The BOYS.

From the st Louis Republic.
When Speaker Cannon finds that the
boys in Chicago have conferred and
decided to run him for President
whether he consents or not" he wastes
no time in simpering and blushing Being
no spring chicken. he tells them to go
ahead" by which he means that they
may have to draw on their reserves OF
second wind to keep up with him.
From the Atlanta Journal.
MI Cannon should never have set the
example of strenuous kicking to the un-
ruly insurgents OF the House.
From the Chicago News.
Illinois representatives have induc d
Uncle Joe Cannon to give his blushing
consent to their suggestion that he b. u
candidate for President. Il would not b.,

tives because of their conspicuous merit,
were to receive good places on the com
nlittees soon to be named by Mr.. Speaker
From the Baltimore News.
If there is anything in a name, the
Cannon boom" ought to make a good
deal of noise when ii gets TO going.
From the Chicago Tribune
How can you expect Uncle Joe Cannon
to decline presidency that has not been
formally offered to him?

Making a Joke of It.

In days gone by the king would choose
Some strange misshapen creature, who
BY his misfortune might amuse
The courtiers for an hour or two.
They looked upon him undismayed,
And round the board the laughter went
To see being who had strayed
So far from Natures fair intent.
Enthron-ed Reason now takes heed
Not of the mold, but of the mind
That suave or snarling thing called Greed
Makes mirth for those to sport inclined
We deck some policy of shame
With cap and bells, and bravely keep
Our sneers, and play the cynic's game
And laugh when we might better weep.

Gen. II. Langlois contributes an article
to the Revue de Deux Mondes for the
18th of October entitled
Another our Military Situation,
which accentuates the criti-
orltlclsnl' cisms initiated by Capt.
Humbert The article. needless to add,
has attracted widespread attention inI
France.
The general begins with the treaty OF
Frankfort, the result of the war OF 1870
Il, which created in all Europe a state Of
instability which may suddenly develop
the gravest conflicts A struggle between
France and Germany is inevitable. He
briefly sketches the situation on the from
ter and their prospective concentration.
German and French strategy are com
pared, German numerical superiority Is
compensated by Napoleon's method of
an advance guard, the fianks being pro-
tected against development. y superior
moral value. cohesion and discipline. The
French army of 1870 lacked chiefs ia
mjliar with lessons taught by Napoleon.
R-orgauized. the French army attained
its -ummum of excellence In 1891. Since
then the army has been the target Of the
utoFians who believe in universal peace
and the suppression of the permanent
army. Then follow q the system Of de-
lation or secret denunciatiOn and scan
means to reward an officer for his devo-
ton. The abolition Of precedence Is a
veritable humiliation for the army ana
he cites the case of an officer who was
retired without the knowledge of his 81
periors and without notification or
knowledge OF the motive OF his retire
.nent. Politics have pro rured promotions
and the prefecture in its interference with
the sodiery is more powerful than the
commandery Of troops. Never was
regime more autocratic." eXclaims the
general ''aud we owe il to the country To
declare that the army is being disorgan
ized, while Germany is making every ef-
fort to develop and fortify the moral
value of her army"
And Gen Langlois concludes: Down
with the disorganizers and France vii.

The bold example Of Capt. Humbert,
deputy, and Gen. LangloiS of the army
indicates method in tie interests of the
government, to free its"lf from the ten
tacIes of the octopus. Is there a deputy
and general Of the army in America SO

that year. printed the following:
THE rumor that It is the Intention OF
the COVE rnment to bring various pun
lie works, for the construction or
which Congress has appropriated, to
a standstin has already greatly alarmed
persons In all sections of the Union I'M
mediately interested In their prosecution.
We stated a few days since, that we
placed no confidence In these runors.
Further inquiries have satisfied us that
they were written. like many other sim
liar stories from Washington city to the
distant press, simply to the end OF writing
something likely to be extensively talked
over In these dull times. We are very
sure that neither the President nor any
member of his government dreams Of
voluntarily doing aught not absolutely
necessary under the strict letter of the
law and the most stringent requirements
of the public interests likely in times Ike
the present to increase the number of
unemployed mechanics and labOrers In

In another paragraph The Star said the

real value OF disclosures of much Of the

ing the weekly aggregate Of work done.

suggestive of the pros
Retren chment pect that the hard times
1,,:,, would cause unu
sually eager rush for
prime bits from the public pork barrel"
when Congress assembled In December:
Our impression Is that this so magical
ly effective word (retrenchmenD before
the dear people. is, after all that has
happened, quite as likely as ever to be
impotent next winter before Congress.
The fact that the ordinary sources of the
expenditure of money are fast drying up
under the influence Of the altered condi-
ton Of the general business of the people
will serve to induce those interested in
expenditures under direction of Congress
to redouble their efforts TO make them,
each in some particular case, as large as
possible. and also greatly to increase
the number of persons so interested. Gov
ernment expenditures bid fair to be the
question Of bread for a year or two with
all who follow the business of tickling
popular fancy will go in with redoubled
zeal to increase them. The latter can
hardly fail. under such circumstances 10
exert even more influence than ever be
fore. It strikes us, upon the national
legislature. The policy of the protection
lists is national debt; so they will neces-
sar.ly advocate almost any and every
proposition to spend public money likely
to generate one. The strides of the coun-
try's wants Of facilities that may be legiti-
mateIy provided for by the general gov
ernment are quite as large now as before
the panic set in. But we might mention
fifty reasons and circumstances leading
US to believe that the aggregate of the ap-
propriations OF Congress made in the
course of the next session will not fall a
dime less than the aggregate Of the last
session.

printed a story of an episode In a New

Hickman was a witness In pending case
and having testified in the course of his
examination in chief that the client Of
the attorney on the other side was with
out funds, was being sharply cross-eXam-
med by that barrster. Hickman averred
that the client had himself told him Of
his uenn,less state The lawyer insisted
that the exact language be repeated
Hickman hesitated, but when pressed,
under threat of contempt proceedings,
he finally said

me this morning that he had no money.

had robbed him of every cent Of his
