there is no reason on that score why

Weights and Measures.

Inspectors who inspect nothing, but
are looking for graft, are numerous
in the large cities and frequently are
visitors in the small ones. One class
OF them gives attention to weights
and measures. and there is a plenty
of room for them. il Jney are COM
petent and honest; but often they
are neither. Full weight or measure
is seldom found in package stuff, and
the shortness quite commonly ex-
tends beyond this. The average
housewife these days Goes not buy
her groceries by weight. but by the
dollars worth. half dollars worth,
quarters worth dimes WORT. or
nickle's worth. and she watches to
see where she gets the most for her
money Dealers understand this and
weights and measures hardly come
into consideration between them and
their customers. Not so, however
between retail dealers and wholesale
merchants or manufacturers.

these evils are trifling, or exist only

in the opinion of the evening contem-

The contemporary explains that its
interrogatory declaration that the

kind of law enforcement that they
want" was based on the defeat Of
Lawrence Y, Sherman as a candidate
for mayor of Springfield, H., upon

More than likely there were several
reasons, among which the promise to

people OF Springfield are probably
just like the people of Cairo and of
other cities, in this; that they do not
favor extreme restrictions which will
hamper them in their harmless liber-

Sunday or on any other day. And 1t

in declaring that because the peo-

CHAPTER Xxx

The scene that presented itself to
Lord Wartlebury and DR.. Mansell on
entering the ladies saloon was very
inexplicable. They could see at a
glance that something had gone
wrong there, but there was no sign
of violence, nothing to account for
the scream.
Miss Somers stood in the doorway
of her cabin, her plain, benevolent
face full of CONSERVATION; Gertrude,
in evening dress--as they all we're
stood in the middle of the saloon, her
hands pressed convulsively to her
breast, her eyes staring, her cheeks
pale, her lips still parted as when she
uttered that one cry, gazing like one
horror-stricken at Mr.. Lawrence
Soames, who had apparently stag
gered up against the woodwork of
the ship, and was leaning there as

pale than Gertrude's, and bewilder-

Somers exclaimed coming forward as
she spoke.

and lounging away from the wood

make out, that I've got among set

Very many gowns worn by dressy
Parisiennes show that the best
dressed women, while they have re-
stricted the number of their garments
to next to nothing, and while draping
the bust, but leaving the entire arm
and shoulder absolutely nude and one
ankle in coquettish evidence, do not,
however, drape their gowns with the
tightness that some of the sensational
dressmaker's models would lead one
to suppose. Though the draperies
are close and everything is weighted
to hang fat and straight, nothing is
stretched into a tight wrinkle Flesh

shall we extravaganza from
that wealthy predecessor who two or
three years ago paid $3.50 for mere
half dozen crackers, specially made
for him by firm of London sill
versmiths. These costly cosaques,
which were enshrined in an exquis-
lite silver box, had wrappers of rare
old lace and figured satin, and each
contained in silver casket, which
formed its centre, a valuable ring or
brooch. But, so far as we know.
the costliest cracker on record was
one constructed of gold in such faith
full imitation of sheaf of wheat
that its modelling kept an industri-

months Tucked away in this golden

length, was 2400.--Dundee Adver-
