Tub great fair is to be known officially as the Worlds Columbian Exposition. An English syndicate is now reaching out for tho ice cream factories and largo retail drugstores of Now York City. Our Presidents have all been lawyers and soldiers, and among them no millionaire or man of excessive wealth can bo found. The bits of carbon removed from aro lights are believed by some credulous persons to have rheumatism-curing qualities. Because tho wife of a Chester, man smiled when he chipped off his fingers in decapitating a chicken, he brings an action for divorce.

It is said that tho Georgia railroad is the only road of its size in the world that has never killed a passenger and never had a mortgage on it. In Utica, N. tradesmen of all sorts not only sell their delinquent accounts at a public sale, but advertise them at full length in the papers. The town of Bethel, with nearly three thousand inhabitants, has no use for a lock-up, and proposes to rent out the building formerly used for that purpose. Fishermen say that Rush lake, in Montmorency County, has been overstocked with white fish by the fish commission, and that they are starving to death.

A New York dentist employs a lady assistant at a salary of fifty dollars a week and a commission for every customer, who goes from house to house and cleans teeth. A Chicago saloon-keeper says he can bribe from five to ten of his customers to swear him clear of any charge made by the police, and it wont cost him over two beers per man. The highest salary paid to any man, official or semi-official, in the United States is $100,000, which amount is paid to the President of the Equitable Life Insurance Company. Flowers are rented instead of purchased at Washington, and a clever florist recontly used the same flowers at an early afternoon lunch, at a five-oclock tea and at a card reception in tho evening. The body of Lucy Zarate, the Mexican dwarf, who died recently ou a railroad train in tho West, was shipped by rail to Mexico, but was held at El Paso, until the Mexican custom-house was paid an import tax of $650.

At low tide the clam diggers aro busy on the flats in front of llwaco, where the clams are numerous and fat. A few years ago no such thing as a clam was to be found in Bakers bay, while now the supply seems to be inexhaustible. A jeweler, of Rockford, recently presented the public school with a clock. This was followed by a more expensive one by a rival jeweler, and by the time the enthusiasm had subsided, every room in tho school had a clock. T.

Beware of the man who says that shorter hours will lead to the profliganc and demoralization of the laboring classes. He is the enemy of justice, and in co-partnership with the saloons to create that poverty which leads to intemperance and all kinds of vice. The present profligacy and demoralization now so painfully prevalent are the logical consequences of long hours and low wages on one sideband vast syndicates of wealth on the other, freely contributing to the political corruption fund. Give labor better conditions and the saloon will lose its attractions and the bribe its temptations to the poverty-stricken victims of our present sy stem of discriminating against labor and in favor of wealthy contractors and corporations.

A Philadelphia, chemist says of the rise in camphor: Not long ago it could be bought at forty-five cents per pound by the banel; now it is selling at sixty-five cents. Tho cause of the increased price is owing to the fact that camphor is being used for making smokeless powder. The great monsters of mechanical skill and genius call for the sacrifice of a great deal of life and limb in their construction. Tho greater the engineering feat the more extensive is the loss of life.

In the construction of the Eiffel tower, for instance, twenty-six lives were lost, according to the official returns of the French Government, while on the great Forth bridge in Scotland a list of forty lives lost has been pub- Ladies E.
