PLEASE OMIT GIFTS"

The young lady in New York who has sent out invitations to her wedding with these words conspicuously dis played, Tt is the brides wish that no gifts be sent" has more courage than her grandmother, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, ever displayed in her contest for the suffrage for her sex. It is practical step in the direction of liber- ty and independence, and will make many feel like attending the wedding,
 The difficulty in the way Of making the reform general, it is opined, IS the feeling among brides, not to say grooms-who, however, have nothing to do with the case-that they wish to get even with their married friends whom they have so often taxed them selves to start off on the happy hymen- cal way. They should, however, forego this desire for revenge, never nople one in any circumstances, and refect how much more of it will need to De done in the future. This outrageous levy upon you by your friends, or those whom you, had before accounted your friends, will continue to the end of life, and there is no escape from It except this, Please omit flowers, which is to say gifts, on the wedding notices.
 It is a timely change, and we may hope that the young woman will reel herself amply rewarded in the knowl- edge of a duty done. This will console her for the absence of much silver, iewelry, napery and bric-a-brac, which is never just to the brides taste. any how. How much better it will be for her to buy them for herself in this new and reformed 9th century!-Phil- adelphia Public Ledger

CHINA THE LAND OF PARADOX.

China is the land of paradox. If it is an absolute. despotic monarchy, it is also a very democratic country, with it's self-made men. its powerful public opinion, and a states rights question of it's own. It is one of the most cor rupt of nations: on the other hand, the standard of personal and commercial honesty is probably higher in China than in any other country in the world. Woman in China Is made to serve: her status is so low that it would be a discourtesy even to ask a man if he has a daughter; yet the

IT you had been near the corner of Church and Chapel streets yesterday morning at 2 o'clock and saw the mer- " crowd of newsboys and their friends who clambered aboard The Journal Courler's special car which was to take them to Mansfeld's Grove for a days outing, the happy smiling faces of the little newsboys, many of whom have Lot been away from the street corners this summer, the sight would have done your heart good. The Journal Courier announced some time ago that they would provide a special car for the newsboys and their friends, and would give them days outing at Mansfleld's Grove, an outing which they would long remember The boys were prepared for the trip yesterday
 and about 100 of them got on the spe- clal They certainly showed from the very start of the trip that they were out for good time, and, Gee but dis Ia the real tlng," was heard every once in a while from the happy youngsters on the ride to the grove. Ons young fellow said to another, Say Rfddy, that Journal Courers all tc de good and so is the gents down in de office v Then Reddy with a vim born of de- light let out three whoops for The Journal Courier with Lets give them another fellers," and again The Journal Courier was cheered by tho lit- tie fellows. The party arrived at Manshelds Grove at 10 o'clock, and the first thing on the program was q baseball game between the route boys and the stree boys. MT. Betts and Jake" Simons were in charge of the picnic, and Jake was in the box for the route boys. "Bil'' as MT. Betts ls known did the twlrling honors for the street boys. After the fastest game ever played at Mansheld's Grove the route boys were the victors 5 to 3 At 9 o'clock tre "neWeies" and their friends prepared to do justice to A shore dinner and they did 1t. The Jour nal-C Courier quartet rendered several songs, among them "The Good Old Courier" written especially for the occasion by Jake" Simons. The song made hit with the boys and was the popular tune for the rest of the day
 lAfter the dinner had been finished MT
 Betta gave the boys short talk tell ing them that there were fewer com plaints received at the Courier office regarding the late delivery of papers
 etc, than there ever were before, and congratulated the boys for their efforts. He told them to keep up the good work. The afternoon was occupied in bathing, fishing, rowing, etc. A run ming match was the principal event of the afternoon and the prize of S1 was won by Clifford Whalen who made the half mile in fast time. At o'clock the boys under the care of Mir Betts made trip into the woods and return ed to the Grove at o'clock to start on the return trip to the city. On the way home the boys voted the outing the best they had ever enjoyed.
