PAIN AND GAIN.A NYw Story With an Old Emlhur.

HY M. K W.

[The Quiver.]

"Vi'lets line vi'li-ts! "Ave a bunch ofvi'lets, sit! On'y a penny a bunch."

The little flower vender, who Imd beenstNiuliiiL' patiently at the corner of thedull rVt London street, ran eagerly for-ward as he spoke, and lielii up his brokenbasket with an expectant twinkle in bigtbrewd black eye*. He bad !on<r ajrosettled in his small mind that " the Piirsonwas a K"1"' • f t , " and with the keenbusiness instinct that the poor so soondevelop, he knew that the biting eastvirlnd would tell in bis favor.

" Vio'ets? All riirht, my Ud, IM1 takeB bunch. H"w has business been get-ling on lately ? "

"On'y middlin' well," said the boy,sh'ikinj: !»i* head. " Yer see, the otherfellers tiny swell out their bunches withstalks as 'as no ends, an' it tells ajjin yerwhen ye'r tryin' to sell fair "

His listener nodded. He wa« a tall,iraunt young man, with a thin, earnestface which some people were apt to c*llrather hard, anil bis nod was emphatic,as thuiijjli his own experience endorsedthe lad's word*.

" It is Ininl lilies sunn times, Tom,1' he•greed,

" Preclnrjf" 'aril ! ' HM the boy heartily." Hut ye'r allus icililMrM '«»' we oujrlitter be iiuiu'-t, an'as'ow honesty pay inthe IODJ{ run If we pejj away Mng enoughan' I'm jroin' to give it a fair cliatio;.A'ternooD, sir!" nnd shouldering hisba-kel, he trudged sturdily away.

Left to himself, Wiliinm Jjetghto.nlturned into one of the gloomy, poverty-stricken houses, and entering his ownlittle .-itlinif room, flung himself downinto the depths of an <.M arm-chair, whichwas sianilinj; llj the lire. His tet stoodready oil the table, and the kettle WHS•InglHK merily, but he felt tired andmoo ly to night, and wis in no hurry tobegin bis solitary meal.

" •Ilnnesly pays in the lottg run if weonly peg away long enouffb,'" be re-peated. ' 'That little chap makef a bet-ter preacher than I. for upon my word Iam bejflnillnjr to doubt it."

He trlaneed round tbe cheerless room,with It! bare, drab-colored walls as scantyfurniture, and then thrtut his banilfdeeper into his pocket and shivered.He was usually courageous enoujrh, andtar too busy for sell-analysis, but thedeath of a lellow-worker whom be hadloved and honored had depressed him to-day; and if lie chose to waste bis tea-hour, why, it was no one's business butIns own. So he went to thinking.

"Let us see what honesty has done forme. On the one hand, there is a anujfcountry living amidst the blessed ileUUand laiies with my lather's approbation,eight hundred a year, and the sweetest<!irl in Christendom for my wife. And

all to be bad by dropping the eternaquestion of risjht and wrong, by ' packiiifa few stalks into the bunch,' us Tonwould say. On the other hand, there ielavinjf my lift) out in tills detestabliEast-End, with eighty pounds a year .. Kitty, is that you ?"The sudden question dispelled the

moody silence like a cheery burst omusic, and the young curate Sat up ampulled himself together.

" Yes, it is Kitty," said an agrieved lit-tle voice, coming from the other side olthe door, and sounding somewhere on alevel with the keyhole. An1 I've knocke<three times, an' you din't bear me."

" I am sure I am very sorry," saidLeighton, laughing. He opened thedoor, and picking up the child who stoudupon the threshold, he carried her backIn the room. "So you have come to havetea with me, have you little one? Howhas the cough been to-day?"

"Pretty well, thank you," she answered gravely, and then,'still held In hisarms, she looked eagerly arouuil theroom and back into his face. " Mr.Leighton, I didn't open the windowonce." she added impressively; and slid-ing down upon the ground, she lookedup at him with happy glistening eyes.

" Bless me, yes!1' cried the curaf, witha sudden recollection; " and you were tohave some violets If you kept it shut."'

" Violets all for mv very own self,"cried the child delightedly; and then,when be had tuken Tom's little bunchfrom the vase over her head, and hadglvfen it into her eager up9tretched hands,she clambered into the big arm-chair,and curled herself up contentedly in iisseat. She was a pretty little thing, butlooked terribly delicate,Leighton thoughtwith her eyes preternaturally bright, amitoo vividly red spots on her thin whilecheeks.

" What makes you like to have thewindow open? " he asked abruptly.

" If you lean rijfht far out aud look up,"'explained the little girl, " you can-ecthe top window the other side of thestreet, and they've got, oh! such a prettypot of inin—IUIH—miuette there!"

" A pot of mignonette, have they f"said Leighton k'ndly; but there was alittle trorvu ou his face as he busied him-self with cu'ting the bread. " Whatdoes aunt say to you when you put yoursilly little head out of the window, justto look at a flower pot?"

" She doesn't mind," said the little one,she gets as tired of the streets as I do,

and we both love a bit of country.""You poor little thing!" Leighton

ame back to the fireside, and taking heron hl» knee, began coixing her to eat." You have never seen the real country,liave you, Kitty ? "

"Only sciaps of il in pntx," said tl •child qua'ntly.

" Aud how old are you ? ''" Nearly r*ven."It sounded a sad little answer enough

11 the ears of this country-bred, stalwartyounjr fellow, whose own passionateove for his native lanes amounted almost

to worship. He quite lost the cramped,confined feeling which London had first{iven him, and beiny: in a broken, im-jres«ioiiable mood to-night, this sickchild's eager longing to look up fromler own home In the basemerjl to thejot of mignonette in the opposite windowstruck him as curiously pathetic. Howanguid she was to-night, and what amere feather-weight to hold as she layback in his arms, witli her hot little headallowed against his shoulder! And cer-tainly the cough was more frequent thant use to be.

" Kitty, how would you like to jro tothe country for a month?" he asked sud-denly.

The baby-face crimsoned with delight.Into—the— cuintry?" she stammered."Now, don't jump up like that," re-

monstrated the curate; "you'll only makeyourself COUJ:!I. Yes, I think I know adear little ol I woman in a dear little oldvillage who'd be very gl-id to have youfor a time, and then you would have tojet fat aud strong aud rosy, and comejack and tell me all about it."

" Won't you come too?1' asked Kittywistfully.

" No,"dear, I c»n't."He did not tell her that to c(.,]d her

away would necessitate loving his ownlarii-earned holiday; but he went on in-

stead to talk of the sunshine, which wasso golden and so hot that it did not seem

the least to belong to the pale, faintsunbeams which came straggling downnto the dark, narrow streets. And [hen|e talked U> her of the fields which were-.1 wide that no man jostled against his;'ellow, and where the violets and other>oor dusty tl iwers that little Tom hawk-;d about the streets grew fresh aud pureand beautiful; a place, In fact, whereone had breathing time, and where therewas room for everybody.

" Tunt sounds like heaven," said theiltle child dreamily j and that was the

main idea she curried away with herwhen, a week later, she went down intoHampshire under tlie care of a kindly^uard. One other thought she took withlier to her new home. One of the cural'sfew possessions was an ivory miniatureof a brown-haired, sweet-faced girl, am!like Kitty—who, like all solitary chililren, was full of untaught fancies—hadfallen into the habit of imprinting amorning and evening kiss upon the smil-ing, upturned face. "Mr. LPlffhton'spretty lady,'1 she called her, and one dayshe asked her friend " why the prettylady didn't come to live there?"— "Iwanted her to, but she wouldn't come,"L'-igbton answered grimly; and it waswith the half-defined notion of meetingthe original of the picture, and ot askingher point blnnk to come and cheer upher aunt's lodger, that the child startedon that wonderful journey which, aiLeigbton prophesied, was to make her" rosy and strong."

• # • • * * *" So this is the child, Mrs. Dobbs!'1"Yes, Miss Olive, that's the child.

Deary me! whatever have 1 done withMr tWill's letter? lie tells me her nameis Kitty Selwyn, and that she never quitegot the better of a fever she hid in thewinter, and that the doctor had orderedfresh air to set her up again."

" Is she quite a common child—a streetchild, I mean ? "

" Oh no, Miss Olive : she speaks quitepretty, and Mr. Will says—that lettermust have got tumbled behind the press—that her father was a gentleman whoquarreled with his friends. He ran awnyand 'listed, and then he married a workKirl."

" Well, I'm glad Mr. Leighton has themoney to spend In such matters."

This conversation was the lirst tilingot which the new arrival was consciouson the morning following tbe day whenshe had bidden jrood-bye to her Londonhome. Opening her eyes, she found thatthe speakers were a rosy-cheeked oldwoman and an energetic looking younglady, who wai frowning portentously as

she uttered the last words. For one hnzmoment it almost seemed to the chthat tier face was familiar, but the impression vanished as the lady turned ancame toward the bed.

" Well, you small child, so you arawake at last!" she was beginninbriskly, when old Mrs. Dobbs Intelposed.

" And as hungry as a hunter, I'll bhound," cried the pood dame. " Yoijust lie still, there's a dear lamb, and I'lget your breakfast. You were too tirecand sleepy to do aught but go to bed lasfight. You will wait here, Miss Oliveuntil I come back.1'

" Make haste then," responded " MlsiOlive" carelessly. " I never have thefaintest idea what to sav to children."

She glanced again at Kitty as she spokeaud that glance probably influenced thefuture of several lives, for from an artistic point of view it suddenly oocurrecto her that the little grlrl might be worthcultivating.

•'I wl*h you would sit to me," she be-gan impulsively; and as Kitty openedher eyes in blank amasement, she addedhastily " I mean I want you to let mepaint your face and put you in a picture.'

" That will make two Kitties," said thechild, with a laugh. She sat up In bedand clapped her hands, pleased with theidea.

"No , not two Kitties," said Miss Olive,with a smile. " I shall paint you as aBoy Cupid."

" Hut I'm not a boy ; I'm a girl," ob-jected Kitty; and her visitor laughed out-right.

" You precious little mortal! " she ex-laltned. "Well, then, ' The En Toy of

Love.' How does that suit you? Envoyneans something sent."

•'Sent to you by Love ?" echoed the•hid. " Why, I was sent to you by Mr.Leighton," and the next moment she waswondering why tbe face of this youngady should have turned a deep burning"ed.

But these few words quite settled the[Uestion as to whether Miss Olive Fenroywould choose to interest herself in thetiling little Londoner. That very firstlay she took her out with her for a long.iap]>y morning in the beautiful spring-ighted lields; and this first ramble washe forerunner of many another theyook together, Olive on foot, aud her lit-Ie charge on the broad back of a sedate>ld pony.

The delight and wonderment withwhich the little child welcomed the com-monest every-dav thing in country life

woke a keener perception of their;eauty in the more jided eyes of hercompanion.

When Kitty, slipping from the oldlOny'i back, would point to dickering>alls of light which, slanting through therees. fell softly upon the moss below,md whispering that these were the kissesf the angels, would run to press ber>aby lips upon their brightness, Olive''enroy thought it only a pretty conceithe child would outgrow in time; but

when, after listening to the carolling ofhe birds, Kitty knelt reverently In the•>ng waving grass, and thanked the Christ

who made their music so lovely, Olivegrasped dimly something of the deeperneauing of these sights and sounds tovhich she had been accustomed sincehililhood."Mr. Leightou says this," and "Mr.

jeighton thinks that," formed the staplef Kitty's talk, and her innocent con-Uences served to bring Miss Fenroy'*over very vividly before ber. For hevas her lover, she was sure of that, al-liough it was six long months since shelad beard of him; tor Will was tootaunch to change. Had anyone tried toecall in so many words the suspense andbe worry, and finally tlie decision ofa*t autumn, Olive would have fiercelyesenteil it; but this little child was too'oung to understand, and the girl let herhatter as she would. Kitty had told herif " the pretty lady" in the massive giltrune whom Mr. Lelgttton had tried toiring Into his solitary rooms, but who' wouldn't come," and Instead of coinbat-ng the sdorn with which the little nar-ator filled her story, Olive bad onlytissed the Hushed, indignant face.

So lie still kept that ivory minature!low well she remembered the birthday

—why, it was three years ago by now—vhen she had given it to him. The oldSquire, who had long set his heart on thenarrlage of his only boy with the adoptd daughter who was about the only per-ou who had any influence over tlie im-icrious old man, had met them at the.oor as they carat in together from theiramble in the lanes, and then and theretad definitely promised the lad the fam-ly living as soon as he should be qualifiedo hold it. Will's answer was the foreminer of the storm which was afterwardso descend upon his devoted head.

I shall be delighted if it can only benade, possible," be had answered; " hiltam sorelv afraid there is a greater calltr workers in town.'1

Aud I ist autumn he hud stuck to hislerision. The autocratic old Squire hadhreateucd and raved to no purpose, andMive {in those dnys she was his promisedvitej had pleaded and couxed in vain.

I bate going away, but it seems to me•igbt, and I mean to do it,1' lie had ans-werw.1, and he bad kept to bis point.Then the Squire played his trump card.

" Your poor mother expected me tolaud you over her own little propertywhen you entered the Church," he toldlisson with omniousquietness, "but I willa >t, sir! not a penny of It will you seein til I die 1 If you choose to go andjnnd vourself into a shadow, of courserod can do It, but you don't have tliemoney, and you don't have Olive."

How often during these last fewmonths the girl had regretted her ownshare in the matter no one would everknow. She had been piqued by bra ap-parent Indifference* to her wisher, audliad been overruled by the Squire's im-petuosity, but in the quiet, lonely winterthat followed she had grown to realizenot only ber own love, but also some ofthe motives which had placed a I tranterin (he pleasant country rectory, and the

The noblemrpose of this book is to awaken iu tlieiiinds of young people a deep veuerationf the patriots aud heroes ot the Ameri-au Revolution, who grandly achievedlie independence of our great Republic,ud to cultivate that spirit of patriotismo needliil to ensure the permanence ofhe form of government under which weow live. The signs of the times illus-rate the great need of the present gener-tion in our country fully appreciatinghe immeasurable cost in blood and treas-

ure of the freedom and the institutionswith Which our Nation is now blessed,

i the pages of this book,—which areveil Unutrated,— will be found storiesf the chief men of Ihe Revolution, soOBM0ted by tlio manner in which they

are narrated, as to give a general interestoall; the '•OldBell of Independence"jeing the nallying point of tlie veterantory-tellers. Kvery phase of the strug-rle is presented, and the moral and rc-igious character of our forefathers, even

when engaged in deadly conflict, ia de->icted with great clearness. The youngeader,—indeed, older readers will likehe stories,—will be deeply interested iuhe story of Latayette's return to this

country, of reminiscences of Washington,of the night before the Battle of Brandy-vine, ot the lirst prayer iu Congress, ofthe patriotic women of that day, storiesof adventure regarding Gen. Wayne, theraitor Arnold, the Massacre of Wyom-

ing, the capture of Gen. Prescott, and inother narratives equally interesting andimportaut. Such a book at this timeought to, and will receive a cordial recep-tion, because of its worth and the princi-ples which It seeks to inculcate.

" Do you know," she said, as they leftthe lields and clambered down into thedell, " when I first «aw you I thought youwas somebody eU< ,"

" Did you Kitty? Who? Mind thatstone, dear."

" I thought you was somebody else,and then you was yourself," answeredthe child in her curious old-fashionedway, and then «he broke Into a littlecry of rapture. "Oh! Miss Olive, isn'tit beautifulI! "

As the girl hastily stopped, the black-bird, upon whose uest they had come un-awares, broke into song.

They made a pretty picture just at thatmoment—so pretty, indeed, that othersthan Leighton might have cared to gaze.The little child was standing on higherground than Olive, with one chubbyliand clutching the big wicker basket,and the other holding up one small lin-ger to enforce a reverent silence. Somesteps below her stood Olive, with a hum-Died, wistful expression on her face.. The3aby thanks which had been rendered byler little companion when first she hailIstened to those songs of tlie birds seem-

ed to find an echo Iu some words thatWill had spoken years ago, when aschildren they had played together in thisnine Fairy's Dell."I should like all the other poor people

n big towns to come and listen to the•irds and what Hair song mean*," he hadaid in his boyish w:i>>; "and if they;an't come, I'd like to go and tell them."

Olive's eyes filled with tears. Yes,Will's dream had come true, ;md she whoid been his fellow-dreamer, had beenhe one to try and hold him back.She turned to the child, who was watch-

ng her intently. "We must be going" she began, when she \v:is Inter-

" You are crying," she announced tri-mphantly. " I see you. You waut toome home with me."

J don't think——Perhaps Mr. Leigh-on does not want me now."

But he does. Oh, do come. Pleaseo come." She waited a moment, andhen she added alowly, with a touch ofery like pathos iu the baby voice, " Hes so lonely. It feels bad to be lonel}',on know. It hurts. It was being lonelyhat made me go out into the cold to lookp at Che (lowers, because they seemedearer my daddy.

FOOD TESTS IN NEW YORK.

Official Analysis of Baking- Powders-Adulterations iu Cream of Tartar.

Under the direction of the New Y'orkState Board of Health, eiehty-four differ-ent kinds of baking powders, embracingall the brands that could be found forsale in the State, were submitted to ex-amination and analysis by Prof. C. F.CHANDLER, a member of the State Boardand President of the New Y'ork CityBoard of Health, assisted by Prof ED-WARD G. LOVE, the well-known UnitedStates Government chemist.

The official report shows that a largenumber of the powders examined werefound to contain alum or lime; many ofthem to such an extent as to render themseriously objectionable for use in Hi •preparation of human food.

Alum was found In twenty-nine sam-ples. This drug is employed In bakingpowders to cheapen their cost. Thepresence of lime is attributed to the impure cream of tartar of commerce usedin their manufacture. Such cream oftartar was also analyzed and found tocontain lime and other Imparities; Insome samples to the extent of 98 percent, of their entire weight.

All the baking powders of the marker,with the single exception of " Hoyal"(not including the alum and phosphatepowders, which have not the virtue ofeven on impure cream of tartar), aremade from the adulterated cream of tar-tar), are made from the adulterated creamol tartar of commerce, and consequentlycontain lime to a corresponding exicnt.

Tlie only baking powder yet lnnml bychemical analysis to be entirely freefrom lime aud absolutely ptiro is the"lloyal.'' This perfect purity resultsfrom tbe exclusive use of cream of tartarspecially refined and prepared by patentprocesses which totally remove the tar-trate of lime and other impurities. Thecost of this chemically pure cream of tu -tar Is much greater than any other, andon account of this greater cost is used iuno baking powder but the "Royal."

Prof. LOVK who made the analysis ofbaking powders for the New State Boardof Health, as well as for the Government,says of the purity and wholesomcnc— Olthe "Royal":

"I find the Royal B iking Powder com-posed of pure and wholesale ingredients.It is a cream of tartar powih-rof a high de-groe of merit, and does not contain eitheralum or phosphates or any injurious sub-stance. B. <;. Lorn, PH. D."

It is highly satisfactory to tlie house-keepers of this vicinity, where the RoyalBaking Powder is in general use, tliatthe investigations by the analysis inMassachusetts, New York, snd Ohio, theonly States that have thus far taken ac-tion upon the important subject, agreeIn classing it as the purest and most effl -cieut baking powder in the market.

In Georgia at the election of 188G therwere but 27,549 votes polled in the who!state, to elect ten congressmen.

Let the Detroit Journal take notice olthe following in the Inter Ocean: "Themock conventions held by college studentsare expressions of feeling over the Presi-dential nominations. At this season olthe year they may act as rather disorgan-izing excitements to the student ap-proaching an examination, hut in themain the boy will be the gainer. AnAmerican citizen can't be any too quicklearning the governing principles ot ourprosperity, and acquainting himself witlithe men who are candidates to executethem."

The wages of laboring men, beyondall dispute, are far greater in the UnitedStates than in any other country in theworld, and the cost of subsistence here isonly increased by its higher grade andmore generous amount. Undoubtedly itis more difficult for our sixty-two millionsof people to rind profitable employmentin 1S88 than it was for thirty-live or thir-ty-six millions In 1861, and the difficultywould be greatly augmented should freetrade or the policy of non-protection everbecome dominant in tariff legislation.

Gen Cabell, U. S. Marshal for thenorthern district of Texas, throws asidethe hypocritical mask of civil servicereform and goes for President Clevelandin this way: "I am satisfied that we aregoing to have a great deal of oppositionthis fall, and that it will come from nsource we little expect. I have made upmy mind that I will go into this organi-zation whether I violate civil service Ofnot. I am a free man, and thank God Ihave not been made to 'eat the leek.'The fact of me lidding an official positiondoes not deprive me of the right to assistthe democratic party In carrying thebanner wherever I please. To deprive meof such a liberty is not the intention ofthe civil service order. A number ofgentlemen think It is about time Hr.Cleveland put his gulliotine to work.

Senator Morrill wisely says: " Noother people seek our markets to conferlavors upon Americans, but altogetherfor their own pecuniary benefit. Thesemarkets, in their wide extent and in thesuperior ability of the consumers, dwarfand surpass all other markets on theglobe, and should be guarded by the ut-most vigilance of the nation. In theworld's history our diplomatic arrange-ments have not always contributed to themaintenance of tlie.se markets, and itwould be an infinitely greater mistake, amore far-reiiching mischief, if Congressshould voluntarily, and as a free-gift,surrender those golden home markets tothose who do not care for us, or to thatempire which after their unconditionalsurrender, might well afford no longerto regret the loss of any American col-onies."

President Cleveland has vetoed ~0 pen-sion bills within the past week, all forsmall amounts to poor people who wouldhave been greatly benefited by the pit-tance granted. But let some great gen-eral's wife be granted a large pensionand Mr. Cleveland sigm the bill withalacrity. He believes, evidently, in kick-ing the poor and assisting the rich. Hudlie been sincere In his professions hewould have vetoed Mrs. Gen. Logan'spension. He didn't have the inorxl cour-age to do it. But he can trample overpoor widow's and orphans of whose casesthe country in general know nothing,and pose as a reformer and economist mso doing.

KepreseiitatiYC Allen Silences a FreeTrader.

Representative Allen of the secondrlichigan district got in some good workn the house Thursday afternoon duringhe delivery of fhe tariff speech by Mr.Vilson of West Virginia, a democraticncmber of the ways and means comtnit-ee. Mr. Wilson was proceeding to showhat under the existing tariff laws farmuoperty and farm interests generallyad very materially depreciated in valuend that the farmers of Michigan wereavornble to the Mills bill, when Mr.

lien arose and said:"I would like to ask the gentleman if

liere is on file in the room of the waysnd means committee, or if there hasver been received a request from a singlearmer ot Michigan for the passage oflie Mills bill, or whether he knows thatsingle fanner In Michigan is in favor of

his bill.Mr. Wilson was obliged to acknowl-

dge that he did not know of any farmern Michigan having expressed a desire toee the bill become a law."Then I will inform the gentleman from

Vest Virginia," continued Mr. Allen,that if he will look through the files ofetitions in the room of the committee ofays and means he will find remon-

trances and petitions signed by thou-imis aud thousands of farmers in Mich-;an agtinst the passage of this bill, andwill further inform him that the far-

mers of the state are solidly opposed to theill."This announcement was received with

•emendous applause on the Republicande, and had the effect of embarraslnjj[r. Wilson to a considerable extent.

FROM THE PKOl'LE.

Mrs. Stannard S»js 'Taint So.

DKXTKK. Mich., May lGth, 1888.EDITOR OK COURIER:—Your editorial

of May !Hu has just come to my notice.I am sorry our friends of the "GouBlEBhave been so misinformed in regard totlie action taken by tbe W. C. T. U. oflheJd district in convention aitembled inAnn Arbor. May 25-27. I read anhonest, manly let'.er written by Capt.Allen, in response to :i request to him tovote for the Blair Educational bill. Theconvention was so gratified by the frankavowal of Capt. Allen's position in favorof the bill, that a resolution of thanks waspassed In/ a vising rote—the whole con-vention rising. Allow me to correct an-other mistake—some of our most impor-tant departments, as Is always the case-were left in the hands of the executivecommittee of tlie district to appoint super-intendents. The department oi " Workof Railroad Men " is sin essential one andwill be continued—we did not know"that this branch of work has been socrippled ''—we thought it very successful.The W. C. T. U. was long ago, fullycommitted to prohibition, because we be-lieve it the right way to remove tlie evilof Intemperance. If we are in politic*,our temperance work lias brought ushere, and as we have enlisted for lite, wehave plenty of lime, and shall help ourbrothers clean house, sweep down thecobwebs, scrub the floors, and purify theplace generally of the saloon influence, orperhaps remove to better quarters, andby aud by, shall help them by voting forgood men to make better laws, and honestoflicers to enforce these laws. The timeis rapidly advancing when the saloon willbe a crime of the past, and tlie two hund-red thousand women of the W. C. T. U.will do their part to hasten that glad day.

Please do us the justice to print in yournext issue my communication and oblige

J I I . I A D E X T E R STANNAKD.

The article in a recent paper concerningthe W. C. T. U. and its harmful (to it-self) meddling in politics was writtenafter reading the report of the Secretaryof the Union, as published in the Ypsi-lantian, and after a personal interviewwith her. Mrs.Shier Informed us that theaction of the committee concerning theresolution was to smother it in the com-mittee without reporting it back to themeeting. An active worker in the I'nioiwrites us concerning it as follows:

"The little W. C. T. U. article expressed my sentiments exactly, and 1v/onder why some of the leading workersin the organization will persist in dubbllngin politics until the quiet worker! arcthoroughly disgusted." And it is a not-able fact that in Ann Arbor some of thebest Christian ladies have become so <lis-gusted at seeing this noble Union used bythe ' politicians to further their sellisliends that they have almost entirely with-drawn from the work, until tlionschemers shall be relegated to back seatsIf indeed they happily can be before the)kill it as the Bed Ribbon clul^ werkilled.

We also Hnd that said street has not beenlowered as agreed to.

What a West Virginian Found to Drinkin Maine.

The agitation in West Virginia over ajroposed prohibitory amendment in tl.attate induced C. 15. Hart, editor of the

Wheeling Intelligencer, to go to Maineon a tour of investigation for himself.

Then Mr. and Mrs. Hart went to Augusta,where the editor la a length of about 400yards on Waterford St., found nine barsvhere pqnor was sold, and purchasediquor himself or saw it bought at everyme of them. He visited 20 shops whereiquor was sold openly during the. two

Peculiarities of the Figure !•.

The most romantic of all the numbersU the figure !), because it can't be multi-plied any way, orgotrid of anyhow.Whatever vou do it is sure to turn upagain as was the body of Eugene Arman'svictim. One remarkable property of thefigure (said to have been discovered byW. Green who died In 1840) is, that nilthrough the multiplication table the pro-duct of 8 comes to 9. Multiply by whatyou like and it gives the same result Be-gin with twice 9, 18; add the digits to-gether, and 1 and 8 make 9. Three times0 are 27; and 2 and 7 makes 9. So It goesup 11 times!) which gives 99. Very good,add the digits, 9 and 9 are 18 and 1 and8 makes 9. Go on to any extent, it isimpossible to get rid of the figure 9. Takeii couple of instances at random. Threehundred and thirty-nine times!' are 3,051;add tip the figures and they are 9. Fivethousand and seventy-one times 9 are45,639; the sum of these digits Is 27. and:.' and 7 arc 9. The first two digits intke9; the second two make 9; and the lastfigure ;- D.

Owing to the law passed by the lastegislature dividing the liquor tax money

with the county, and for other causes, thecity of Ann Arbor rinds its treasury de-pleted by »'>me $0,000. This fact renderst necessary for the present council to

come before the people and ask for thealsloff of $5,000 by tax to meet the city's

obligations, and a special election hasbeen called for Monday, June 4th, atFireman's Hall, to vote upon a propos-lon to spread upon the tax rolls this fallhe sum of $5,000 for general purpose?.

The raising of this amount is absolutelynecessary to an honorable and promptmeeting of expenditures on the part ofthe city. The general fund and thegeneral street fund are both largely over-drawn, and the people who work uponthe streets or who work for the city inother capacities, must either wait fortheir pay until the 1st of February nextor submit to having their warrants shavedby money lenders. The city is in tooexcellent a financial condition to allowsuch a state of affairs to exist, and thetax should be voted without hesitation.

Last Thursday night at about 11 o'clock,(limes were discovered Issuing from theresidence of the late Samuel P Jevvett,Etq., on W. Huron St., and they hadgained such headway that the structurewas burned to the giound, the firemenbeing unable to stay their progress. Thehouse was a fine one and estimated to beworlh $4,000. and the contents, alsoburned, including the library, was valuedat $2,000, on all of which there was but$2,000 insurance. The property of thelate Mr. Jewett was in process of settle-ment in the probate court, and the lossfalls equally upon the children. Thepremises were being cared for by a gen-tleman attending the University, andsmoke had been detected in the afternoonof that day, we understand, but a thor-ough search failed to find anything burn-ing. The (ire resulted from a defectivechimney we arc told. It was by themerest streak of good fortune that therehappened to be any insurance at all uponthe place, Judge Kinne finding that therewas iinne upon the property, had uponhis own responsibility placed $2,000 uponthe house only one week previous to thefire.

ENTERTAINMENTS.

"She" is n taking play.When She comes go and see She by al!

means.Scanlan's Inst composition, "fathering

the myrtle with Mary," bids fair to rivalhis famous "Peek-a-Boo" in popularity.

It is surprising how Scanlan's famousgong of Peek-aBoo still retains its holdupon the public. He is compelled to singit at every performance, and it is alwaysredemanded.

Remember the strawberry and icecream festival at the M. E. church,Thursday evening, May 24th. Amongthe attractions at this festival will be a'candy kitchen," candies made to order.

Recipes in the Jubilee Cook Rook.The Webster-Brady compauy open at

he Alcazar theatre this week, producingW. A. Brady's dramatization of Ste. Ithas been the piece de resistance of theirrepertoire during their tour, and hasdrawn packed houses wherever produced.Mr. Brady is indefatigable in his bus!ness and has begun to reap the harvest,both iu honors and the dollars ot ourdaddies. Close attention has been given',o details, and Mr. Brady certainly hashe best dramatization of the book.

After witnessing the play we can under-stand the great success of the piece wher-ever presented. If Mr. Brady keeps on*n the road he lias mapped out for nim-;elf he will soon " win his spurs."

One of the great newspapers of thePacific slope is the San Franeleco Alta,and of the great performance known asWm. A. Brady's adaptation of "She,'1he Alta says: ''She lias taken a strongmid on the play-going public, and whenhe eiirtaiu rose on the prologue last

night there was not a vacant seat to behad. Now that the play is in good run-ning order, there are no long waits tomar the effect of the performance. Tue;ext follows Haggard's story closelyenough for those, even, who have neveread the book, »nd yet is not encumbered>y details to the extent that would have\ tendency to bore those who are alreadyfamiliar with it. Considering the limitedcapacity for scenic effects, the weirdscenes In the cave, the African seashoret sunrise, the ruins of Kor, the crossingf the plank to the fire of life, are all

vivid and well done."

There is a curious custom in Canadawell worth imitating. It would be a goodblng for the actor, public and managerf it existed in every town and city in the*>uhtry. The first time that Mr. Scanlanppeared as a star in Canada was In Ham-Iton. The house was fairly well filled,he comedian's reputation having pre-ceded him. His songs were repeatedlyncored during the evening, and he was.illed before the curtain at the end ofvery act. He was naturally delighted

with such a reception from a Canadianndiencc, who seldom receive with favordelineator of the Irish character. The

iappy comedian was not prepared, how-ver, for what awaited him. At the endif the performance as the curtain wasbout to descend, the audience arose eniinsse fhoutlug, "Come again, Scanlan;ome tigain." He answered pleasantly,'Thank you, I will." As he left thetage he remarked to his manager, "That'si queer custom, but, a good one." Theleople you have been trying to please allhe evening let you know whether youlave succeeded" or not. I wish theywould do the same thing everywhere.Since then Mr Scanlan has frequentlyappeared in Hamilton, and on no occa-ion has the theatre been large enough,o hold the people.

M«'8«rs. Cugsoll ii Compnny will publish at once a twenty-five cent edition ofn "A Tragic Mystery," limited to onehundred thousand copies. That this edi-tion, notwithstanding Its size, will soonbe exhausted, is a natural supposition,when one bookseller alonu has sent in anorder for tod thousand epics " ATragic Mysfeiy" was the first issue ofthe now famous Byrnes Hawthorne wr-ies of deteciive stories and one of themost popul-ir, and its appearance in newami cheaper foim will inline the sale ofevery copy.

Harper's Magazine for June is au ex-ample of what a iiiiigazine for early summer ought to be. It contains it judiciousmixture of the best things in literature,and is thus suited to all the moods of aJune iTay. Fiction is provided for lazyhours by W. 1). Hcnvells, Henry J.imesand William Black, and there is muchcharming poetry. Neither are solid ar-ticles for serious reading larking, and theartistic features of the number are mostdelightful. Reintiart, Abbey, CharlesOraliam, E. P. Sangulnetti, Alfred Pars-ons, W. H. Hyde and F. Barnard, allcontribute specimens of their best work.The frontispiece Is an excellent portraitof the late Mrs. Craik, and belongs to I hearticle on " London as a Literary Centre,"which abounds in good likenesses of Eng-lish novelists.

"The Popular Bclence Monthly" againoffers in June number a list of subjectsand articles which will command, i s theydeseive, the attention of intelligent andthoughtful readers. The opening ar-ticle, on "The Surplus KeveniiP," is bythe em n-lit economist, Eiward Atkin-son, and suggests n waj—a very simpleway, too—apparently iivei looked by otii reconomists, of solving the great problemot dealing with the surplus, which doesn >t. involve any conflict of economic pol-icy between the dominant parties An-other economical article, on "The Phil-osophy of Commercial Depression," byH. Q. S. Noble, indicates, as the ultimatesource of all financial disturbance andmi.-chiel, •' militant tendencies," whichstill predominate in H part of the worldand embarrass the rest of it.

The opening article in the Woman'sWorld for June is on " T h e Uses of aDrafting Koom," whicli uses are inter-preti d not to be for the entertainment ofthe rich and great, but for the occasionalentertainment of the working people,who ure unfamiliar with tasteful homes,and to whom a compliment of this sort isa never to be forgotten pleasuie. The"Records of a Fallen Dynasty," by VioletFane follows this and gives some Inter-esting anecdotes in connection withPrince Charles Edwin Stuart. An ar-ticle called "Something About Needle,Women," not the needle women who lollback in easy chairs and work convention-alized flow eis in Ken>injit»u sketch, butwomen who m.ikc sliiiK and other aili-cltfs of il'ifhing.
