In most countries on the other side it
is the general rule for the family to put
by something every year, perhaps half
the income, for the future establish
ment of the children, and particularly
of the girls, who as such are less capa-
bic Of making their way than their
brothers. Here we know, as a rule, the
parents improvidently live up to their
income, bring up their children to lux
urious habits, and thus unfit them for
that life of trial to which they are des-
tined. They are, in word, softened
instead of hardened. A common reply
of the head of the family to the sugges-
ton that the future of the children
should be looked after is that they will
begin life under the same circumstances
as he did-that is, with nothing-for-
getting that the conditions of life are
changed, and that it is now impossible
for them to live as he once did. If a

CITY CouNcfL.-Thise evening the re-
gular weekly meeting of City Council
will be held, and tho session pro-
misses to be one of unsual interest. The
report of the committee to investi-
gate certain charges against the Water
Department will again come up for
consideration, and the committee to
investigate certain abuses alleged to
have existed during the progress of
the work on the new reservoir will pro-
badly report. These reports will doubt
less provoke considerable discussion,
which will be edifying and interesting,

A CORRESPONDENT of the London
Pharmaceutical Journal states that, hav-
ing had reason to suspect the purity Of
most of the commercial lard offered for
sale, he instituted series of experiments
which led to the detection of large guam
titles of some farinaceous substance in
it. In quantity weighing 1864 pounds
he found as much as 22i pounds of this
foreign matter, and in another lot,
weighing 43s pounds, he found 12a
pounds of a similar substance. The
pernicious effects which such adultera-
ton would be likely TO produce in the
employment of these lards for certain
pharmaceutical purposes, and the dam
ger which might ensne from their apph-
cation to machinery, are obvious. Io
another case the analysis of some Amer
lean lard showed that it contained from
10 to ID per cent. of water, to per
cent. of alum, and about l per cent of
quicklime-the alum it is presumed,
being for the purpose of communicating
to the lard the property of facilitating
the rising and increasing the whiteness
of the pastry in which it is 50 largely
employed.

IMMENSE WATER SPoUTs Aus
trian steamship Jennie, which recently
arrived at the port of New York from
Mantanzas, narrowly escaped being
swamped by several immense water
spouts, while off Cape Hatteras. The
officers of the vessel say these water
spouts were the largest they had ever
seen. The largest covered an area of
half mile and were at least 1000 feet
in height. ''They reached far up into
the air, said an old salt, ''and were there
met by an inverted cone, just like the
others, which seemed to come down from
the heavens to meet them" They were
described as tall columns, apparently of
mist or spray, but in reality dense bodies
of water, reaching from the sea to the
clouds, and moving along with great
rapidity before the wind. Sometimes
they were straight, and at other times
inclined, but always whirling around
with great rapidity. The crew broke
several by firing guns into them, the
concussion of the air causing them to
burst, when they tumbled back into the
sea with fearful splash. The water
was fairly white with foam.

In nature more admirably constructed
than the wing of the bird, and perhaps
none where design can be more readily
traced. Its great strength and extreme
ightness, the manner In which it closes
up or folds during fexion and opens out
or expands during extension, as well as
the manner in which the feathers are
strung together and overlap each other
in divers directions, to produce at one
time sshd resisting surface, and at
another an interrupted and comparatively
non-rssisting one, present degree of
fitness to which the mind must necessa-

IMPROVING FURNITURE.-A writer ia
The Germantown Telegraph thinks peo-
pie would derive material benefit from
adapting bedsteads to the following
plan:


The Stats are so arranged as to pro-
duce partially curved surface, suited
to the form of the body. The depres-
sion is made by deepening the mortices
for three or four of the Stats, about
equally distant between the head and the
foot of the bedstead, SO that regular
curve is formed, two feet in length and
three inches greatest depth more or less.
In bedsteads having sufficient depth of
rail or sidepiece further modification
may be made by raising above the level
slat or two at the head so as to require
smaller pillow. This device, while it
greatly promotes the comfort of all per-
sons, is especially calculated to contrib
ute to the ease and rest of invalids !:
moreover, comfortable bed may be had
with thin mattress.


Common chairs may be considerably
improved by shortening the hind legs
by one and half to two inches. For
average sized male adults the front of
the chair had better be sixteen to seven
teen inches high for grown, full-sized
women, but fourteen to fifteen inches,
and less in proportion for children; but
boys may sit higher In front than girls.

JONES LESSON.-Senator Jones has
been tanght lesson in New York, and
that IS, that while he may be a great
man, he can't do everything. His rest
less temperament is not one that will
allow him to be satisfied with the mac
tlvlty of wealth already gained and
since the first of January last he has had
in hand no end of schemes to crafty
his money making love of speculation.
He has set up a hotel in New York,
gone into the ice making business, sew
eral other interesting ventures, but none
Of them fully satisfied him. He longed
to become a stock speeulator in Wall
street, and he went over to New York
some weeks ago in order to show Jay
Gould and the boys what a bonanza
mino4 could do. He went into Panama
stock when he was 35; got himself made
director, and went through the usual in
genious mode of initiating the stock up
to fancy price. All of this is very
easy to be done under the circumstances
that surrounded Jones. He had plenty
of money, and the Jay Gould combina-
ton, in order to more fully bleed him,
aided him indirectly in his plans. Jones
succeeded in working the stock up from
80 to somewhere in the neighborhood of
20. If he had they sold the stock that
he had, he would have cleared. some
100000. Senator Jones vas not
small speculator, however. Jay Gould
had not mistaken the man. Jones was
ambitious and desirous of striking ter
rors IN the hearts of Wall street by his
gigantic method of handling stock af-
fairs. He began buying Panama right
and left, until the stock touched 70.
He was still buying. Jay Gould and
his friends loaded him up until they
thought he had all he could bear, and
then they climbed on top of him and his
stock. Panama trlmbled to SO before
Jones had time to turn around. The
result was that Jones was about 800, 900
out. Thus Jones learned to speculate.

 Nearly every family have been sick with hard colds and sore throats. These, with the intense cold weather and slip pery locomotion, have made home-keep- ing necessity.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE motion
made by Senator West, and adopted last
night. to postpone the resolution admitting
Pinchback until the second Monday of next
December. took the Republican senators


by surprise, and was acted on without af


fording them sufficient time to realize the
effect politically on both parties in Louisi-
ana. The senate had been closely can


vassed. and a decided majority against
Pinchbac was known to exist. Pinchback
himself had given up the fight and was
prepared for his defeat Senator West.
who has developed qualities that go to
make up shrewd politician, saw in Pinch
back s defeat possibility that the Louisi-
ana legislature might succeed in electing
a Democrat, or man not satisfactory to
himself and the Republican party in that
state, and so he determined to prevent
such result by postponing action on
Pinchback's case until December. The
legislature would be powerless to elect
any man as senator. and the Democrats
would be compelled to remain quiet, or
agree to vote for some man as a compro-
mise candidate, satisfactory to the Kellogg
government. In fact, Pinchback and his
seconds believe they are now masters oi
the situation, and that they will be able to
name the next senator. Few persons be-
lieve that Pinchback will make another
fight for seat in the senate, but that be-
fore December next he will make q bar


gain to retire from the contest, and allow
some person to be agreed on, to be elected
to the senate. and to take the seat for
which he has tried and has failed to get.

senators to day, the postponement would
not have been carried had the secret Of

Neither do we know very much about Spain, yet, we are heartily glad that its slow fighting citizens have at last grown tired of trying to scare each other, and set tied down, like whipped Spaniels; no Span iayds under Bourbon dynasty; which ought to be nasty enough for any country. It was Spanish affair that brought on the late war between Germany and France, and Spain has been pretty we'll punished for it. It looks as if the new King will be friendly to France. The United States ought to make him show his friendship by paying our claims and giving us Cuba as a present, since he expresses himself friendly to all countries and parties.

The recent escape of the prisoners from the jail at Tucson is serious matter. While jails are breakable they fail to deter the march Of crime. When felons, convicted of crimes alike revolting to humanity and inim- ical to the reputation of the country, can, by an easy effort, obtain their release, thus laughing to scorn the verdict of a jury, and making a farce of the solemnly pronounced sentence of court; we have fallen upon a lamentable state of affairs. The ends of jus tice "to punish crime and reform the off, fender" are, neither of them, attained, and the only result is the entailment of expense on the county.
