AIBoy'e Essay on Girls Curious Callings A Naat Little Nut Trtok She Had Heard So The Play Cor ner. Curious Callings. Paris, like all capitals, has its pecul iar types of character unknown to the ordinary visitor who, having "done" the Boulevards and the Champs Ely sees, thinks he has seen everything. That this is a mistake need hardly be said. Paris is full of human curios ities. One is the raraasseur des bouts de cigars, who may be seen at work at all hours of the day and night. He begins at two o'clock in the morning, after the closing of the fashionable cafes and brasseries and before the street sweepers arrive. At noon after luncheon he makes another tour round the drinking and smoking es tablishments. He now reposes him self, and sifts his cigarette and cigar ends. His third and last tour is made at nine o'clock round the doors of the restaurants and theatres, where he reaps his best harvest. On an average he picks un half a pound of ends per day, which, after sifting, drying, and cutting up, he sells to the rag pickers and other smokers who cannot afford to have their tobacco first hand. His earnings range from a franc to two francs -a day, according to the weather. When it is wet he does not gain more than half a franc. Attentive observers must have seen him darting in and out under the cafe tables on the pavements picking up the remnants thrown away by the smokers. Legally speaking, his little commerce is prohibited, but the po licemen kindly shut their eyes, and in terfere with him only when he shows too much zeal and annoys the custom ers. He is generally a youth or an old man, too lazy or too feeble to do other work. It is estimated that 600,000 cigars and cigarettes are smoked daily in Paris, one-third of which finds its way into the little sack of the ramasseur. Next there is the reveilleur. This is invariably an old man who has work ' ed long, but who, like too many toilers, lms reached the last days of his life without having saved a penny. He corresponds to the "knocker up" in Lancaster towns. His occupation is simplicity itself. The reveilleur rises at two in the mori ing, whatever be the season or weather, and pro ceeds to patrol the working quarters. His duty is to wako up the workmen, lest they should ovei sleep themselves and thereby arrive at the shops too lateto be admitted without afine. He has a book in which all the names and addresses of his clients are written down. He follows his itineary with the punctuality of a postman, raises a cry before each house and does not move on until he sees the window open and ' has re ceived an answer. , For every every workman thus woke up he gets a halfpenny per day; most of the workmen, however, pay him by the week or month. His best season is, of course, the winter, when the nights are long and his services most re quired. Taking the year round, he manages to earn a franc daily, which keeps him from starving or the work house. Our next type is also a ramasseur, but of a moro agreeable nature. His task consists in collecting all the broken bread ho can iind. It must not be thought that he gathers the crusts and crumbs for his own con sumption. His principle is that noth ing should be lost; and moreover, he knows that a piece of stale bread, hoivever dirty, added to another piece, helps to fill a sack which, when replen ished, lie can sell to the rearer of rabbits for a franc. A Boy's Essay On Girl's. The following may be some "liter ary fellow's" invent ion; if so, it certain ly hits oil the average boy's notion of his gill associates: Girls is great on leaking bleeve. She will make bleeve a doll is a live baby. She will make , bleeve she is orful sweet on another girl or a feller if they come to see her, and when they are gone she will say: "Horrid old thing!" Girls is always fooling a feller. She can't lick yer, so she gets the best of yer that way. If yer don't do what a girls says yer horrid. I drather be horrid than soft. If yer do what a girl tells you you will do all sorts of foolish things. Girls can be good in school every day if vhey feel like it. I shud think they would get tired and have to do sum thing wonce in a while; I know a fellow does. Girls say fellers act orfull; but when a girl gets a-going it she acts S Drfler than any feller darst. , jThey don't care for nuthing. If a girl wants a feller to carry her books home she ain't satisfied un less she gets the same feller the other girls want, whether she likes him or not. Girls is grate on having secrets I mean telling secrets. They make secret out of nuthing at all, and then tell it round to all the other girls, orful quiet, just as if it was swathing dred full. I bleeve a girl likes to make bleeve they are doing sumthing dredfull. Girls olways gets their joguerfry lesson better than a feller; but if they are go ing anywhere they don't know their way a bit, and they are sure to get lost. If two fellers has a fight the girls all go for the feller what lic ks, no mat ter whether he is good for anything else or not. If a girl don't feel like do ing nnythina you can't make her, no matter whether she had orter or not. If she won't she won't, and she will get out of it somehow. That is all I kno about girls this time. Exchange. The Ghost. There was once a man who was deathly afraid of ghosts. A neighbor resolved to play ghost and haunt him until he was cured of his foolish idea. One night, Mr. Wilton (the name of the man who believed in ghosts) came home later than usual, and going up to his room was met by an object all in white with a hideous grin, whom he naturally took for a ghost, who said not a word, but followed him where ever he went. Mr. Wilton was so frightened that his teeth chattered, and he shook violently, and when the ghost gave hiin a tap on the back and another grin, he fell down onthetloor. Tresently he got up and tried to bribe the ghost to leave him and not plague him any longer, but theghost answered him, saying, "You believed in immor tal things, to I came from my haunts to visit you until you are willing to lead a sensible life and cease believing in or fearing ghosts, then I will return to my former abode and never come back more, but if you say that you do not fear ghosts when you really do I will haunt you to the grave." The man suddenly threw himself across his bed overcome with fright, but he resolved to not fear ghosts, and every night for a whole week the ghost visited the wretched man, but as soon as the clock struck twelve, the ghost with a parting grin left the room. The second week things were no better than the first, and finally the man re solved to cure and to rid himself of the pesterous fellow. So at the next call Mr. Wilton .welcomed him and talked to him ascordially as if he had been his best friend. The ghost could not stand this, so the next night when the same cordiality con tinued, he took off his ghost clothes and showed Mr. Wilton thas he was no ghost, but his friend Mr. Treke. Mr. Wilton and Mr. Treke both had a good laugh over Mr. Wilton's foolish fears, and he was cured of it too, Ever after that they always told that story as the beat one they knew. The Baby's Letter. Dear Aunt Belle Did you know I had lots of toes right on the end of my feet? They are little, soft, round things, and they are not on very tight, but I can't pull them off, for I've tried and tried. And there's a new tooth come in my mouth. There isn't anybody else in this house who has had a tooth come, -and I haven't but one, There are not many teeth to spare, I suppose, and you can't have but one. Mamma found it and put her fing er on; and then she told papa, and he laughed and put his finger on it. He told Uncle Jack and Uncle Jack said: "Whew!" and rubbed it with his finger, and I tasted all their lingers, and they didn't taste good a bit. It's queer babies have to taste of lingers because they have a tooth. And, Aunt Beile, my papa wants me to drop on the floor and break. I know he does, because he took me up in his arms the other day and I was afraid I should fall, and so I put both hands in his whiskers. Then he jumped and I held on tighter, and he halloed and took my hands out. So I know he wants me to drop on the floor and break. That is the way things do when you drop them. ' The Play Corner. Into a basin of water throw a piece of money, a ring, or any object, and propose to take it out without web ting your hands. All that you have to do is to sprinkle the surface of the liquid with a powder that has no cohension with the water, and consequently that the water does not wet. Lycopodium powder, which may be found in any drug store, have this property. After having thrown a little of this powder on the waterplungeyourhand bravely to the bottom and take out the ring, and show it to the audience that you hand is perfectly dry. The reason of this is that the lycopodium has formed a perfect glove on your hand, thus preventing any contact with the liquid, the same as, for in stance, ducks plunge their bodies into the water, and come out perfectly dry, on account of the oil which is secreted in their feathers. A Neat Little Nut Trick. Take an English walnut and hold it between the thumb and. middle finger with tho index finger resting on the point of the nut. By pressing hard against the ridge of the nut with the thumb and middle finger the nut will open slightly at the top, because the pressure has decreas ed the diameter of the nut, increasing it where there is no pressure.. Alter that much has been accom plished conies a little jugglery. Let us tell the spectators, for example, that by rubbing the nut against the woolen surface, the con t sleeve for instance, enough electricity can be generated for the nut to adhere to the index linger and hang suspended in the air. In re ality, however, as soon as tho pres sure lias been removed from the body of the nut it clones at the top, impris oning a bit of the skin of the index finger. Crystal Fireworks. I have a bottle here full of black ma terial, which is to fall upon the flame of this candle. When I tell you that this bottle contains a quantity of steel -filings, you will at once prophesy that ' he light will be put out. Let us see what will happen! Why, well instead of putting the candles out, I am making it disport itself as candle never did before! Hens we have fireworks, which if they do not quite riyal those of the Crystal Palacu have a splendor of their own. She Had Heard So. What numbers of facts are still uiv recorded in any book! A teacher was hearing her class in natural history recite, and asked bright little girl: "What is a ruminating animal?" "One that chews her cubs," was the innocent reply. New Moon. Going Around the World. There are 1,100 steamers travers ing the four great ocean routes. The first is that across the Atlantic, an other by Suez to, India, China and Australia. To go around the world that way takes 80 to 00 days, and covers 20,000 miles. The passage money is $1,000, and the traveler who wishes to go in comfort and ease should have another 1,000 with him. An other sea route described i that by which you start from San Francisco and sail around the American contin ent to New York. The journey is 16, 500 miles long, it takes 100 days to rover it, and the fare is about the same as that around the world. To go around the Cape of Good Hope to Australia nnd back around Cape Horn is about 23,000 miles, nnd can be covered in 81 days. The cost is only $750. From London Tid-Bits. PATERNALISM. Tfcere Arm Ka tfletntes That Are Not 1'ateratl r Cleu. The very word defines Itself. Pater, fiat, parent-like, directing and caring for as would a parent. Therefore when legislation is of a paternal na ture It is that species' of legislation which causes the government to as sume the oversight as would a father. There is but two species of legisla tion, says the Toiler. One is where the government grants its service, and the other is where it forces obedience. It may force obedience where it grants its service, or may grant its service where it forces obedience. These two elements enter into all legislation. The government grants its service and compels obedience in our postal sys tem. It grants its service in the life saving system along our coast. What can be more paternal than the systems named? Take our protective tariff sys tem, in it the policy ot our govern ment is to force obedience; this species is class and yet paternul; it is class because tho paternal powor is not extended to all the people. It is paternal, because the government's service is extended to certain bene ficiaries. At this moment we do not think of any legislation that is not paternal in its relation to the people, except the laying and collecting of revenues. Even our penal system is paternal in its nature to the public which it seeks to protect. There are no statutes but what are paternal or class in their application, and some are both. We challenge a contradiction of this assertion which has been de ducted from the reasoning just given. Of the two classes, which is prefer able? Paternalism, when unadulter ated with class preferment, ha always dealtout justice and never monopolies. Class legislation has never failed to father combines. : It is paternal for our government to issue money. It is class to make preferred receivers ot this government's service, but it is not always possible to receive the benefits of the government's service without a system which in its nature would seem class. For instance, suppose the bogus protective tariff argument was true, that it was best) for the whole country that a bounty be paid manu facturer. then the system would be paternal in its nature but class in its application. Class legislation is never safe unless it is to carry out a paternal policy which applies alike to all The tariff Bystem does not do this. The national banking plan does not do it, and they were both intended to extend a paternal hand to the whole country. The trouble lies in the fact that class preferment was given too much prom inence in the two policies cited above. If the reader has carefully caught the deductions above, he is ready for this affirmation. There has never been a law repealed since our's has been a government, because of its paternal nature. Sometimes laws of a paternal nature have been repealed because of the special privilege granted in the application as in the case of the old United States bank. It is entirely too late in the day to begin insisting that the monetary re form asked for by the Alliance is paternal It has always been a paternal duty of the government to issue money, . The paternal feature cannot be complained at; if so, where do you propose to have our money come from? It is paternal and our constitution protides for paternalism because it gives our government abso lute control of our money. The Alliance idea . is to secure this paternal service by a method as void of class preferment as possible. We insist that one great argument in favor of our plan as against the banking system is that ours will bring so many thousands yes millions in close touch with the government, while the present system brings only hundreds. The difference is, that hundreds can combine for selfish purposes while millions cannot, A combine always distracts tho parental effort of our leg islation. We object to the present banking system on the same grounds that Andrew Jackson vetoed tho ro chartering bill for the old United States bank, viz. : that it puts the cir culating medium in tho hands of a sellish combine, or in other words, the paternal feature is defacadby the class application. President Polk's Tribute. At the meeting of the Maryland State Alliance, President Polk gave the following beautiful tributo to the farmers: "For twenty-five years 1 have been in public life. I never found myself fighting in the front rank of (iod's noblemen ' until I struck the Farmers' Alliance. Let us stand by our principles until the last man falls in the light, and then volunteers will come up and take our places. Men, citizens, farmers, stand together for every principle ot our organization, and a glorious triumph awaits us. They told us there would bo a division in tho ranks at tho polls. They who proclaim divisions did not know us. There is no i division. Wo do not know what they are, thank God, and in that spirit wo will proclaim and tight for the triumph of our princi ples." "How Long, Catalinr?" Cataline was the arch conspirator of Cicero's time against tho peace, pros perity and welfare of Rome; and Cicero faced him with some of his most famous orations, one beginning as above, .'icarudiu, Cutalina?" "How long. O Cataiino, wilt thou abuse our patience?'' So may tho People's party address that chief evil genius of the American people that man who has caused more won than any living American. Now hear him squeak out his exul tation from his "bad eminence." "I believo that wo have won a great victory. In many respects it is but an indorsement or echo of the light in 1875 upon tho financial question. President Ilayo.s and myself then made an issue for tho honest dollar, and this election in our common wealth only shows ttiat tho people of this state are true to tho best elements of all life. For the second time in our political history tho state of Omo has spoken and decided that quest.on so far as it can." How do you like that. Old Guard of tho ' Grcenhaclcers? You could not have won a victory with so short a time ti organize; but you should have dono bettor. Try still in every way to block the old Apollyon of the treasury from getting again into the senate. If Ixuien at that rally around the flag next year in the presidential election. Worse and more of it: "The West ern Reserve solid for John Sherman." sshame on the cowardly slaves! Fifty years ago the lifo center of the United States was gradually moving from the New England states to that same Western Reserve' then of larger dimensions. There grew up then the very flower of our people. But long ago that lifo center began moving west ot the Mississippi especially into Kansas. Thither went people who hated all manner of slavery. But let Ohio awake and stir herself as of old. Otherwise Bhail all lovers of truth and right vent upon her the curse, the bitter curse of Meroz, who would not arise to the help of the Lord against the mighty "'-Chicago Express. The Plow and Hammer: The tal low candle furnished the light for our granddads. Electricity is now re quired to light the nights. A single gold standard of values and our pres ent banking system is as far behind the times as the old tallow candles would be to our present electric-lighting system of to-day. The ancient goldites that suppose their money the ories will meet the requirements of the changed conditions that exist to day will wake up some fino morning and find they are back-number relics without a following. The People Will Be Free. It will be time enough ten years hence to determine whether the re forms demanded by the people at the present time are impracticable or not. Many of our own people who have en listed in the cause do not seem to re alize the power and strength of the enemies of the people. Many of our own peoplo are expecting immediate results, and whoa victory is not at once attained they becomo discour aged and socle of them give up. We are facing to-day the imperialism of capital more formidable and power ful than all the monarchies of the world. No reform in the world's his tory was ever freighted with so many responsibilities, ever encountered so great an undertaking, the accomplish ment of which would be so far reach ing in results a) the present financial and political reforms now demanded by the producing classes of the United States, and no great reform ever made more rapid progress. All great re forms, to bo lasting and permanent, should move slowly. The groat Amer ican people move slowly but surely.' They have always been equal to every emergency and the great common peo ple can be trusted. The hope of the country is in the intelligence of tho masses. The people are awaken ing to a realizing sense of their pow er. This is an age of newspapers and the rapid dissemination of thought, and this accounts for the rapid progress we are making in this age over other eras. Think of the great armies of men and womon who are thinking and studying the great problems of self government, and then dare to say they will fail!" Think of the more than fifteen hundred pa pers devoted to the caus?, the books, the pamphlets, folders and leaflets that are being scattered by the mil lions and and then talk about failure! Look at the great labor and industrial organizations traveling on parallel lines but gradually converging towards a general amalgamation, and then say their demands will go unheeded! For midable as the money power may bo intrenched, and difficult as the task may seem, it will nevertheless be ac complished and the people will be free. We must patiently endure to the end, allowing no obstacles what ever to obstruct our onward progress. "Irrldeeent Dreams." It was very kind in ex-Senator In fills to nominate presidential tickets for the two parlies, but he neglected to provide, tho platforms. Washing ton l'di-t Senator Ingalls announced his plat form in his eclcbratod interview in the New York World, April 13, 181)0. wherein he declared that "the purifi cation of politics is an irridescont dream," and that "tho decalogue nnd the goldea rnio have no placo in a po liiical campaign." That would seem 10 bo plain enough for any ono, even t!i2 editor of tho I'ost. to understand, o.' "srely Tho wayfaring man though ;i fool, i:oi il not err therein." To pi!;:! Advocate. uuiiilinenla For Mandnrd Oil. Tho Standard Oil trust is a char tered brigand that has grown so strong and rich that it now tramples on all tho laws of God and man with im punity. It hires incendiaries to burn down tho refineries of its rivals! It hires thugs to ruin oil wells that aro discovered by farmers. It bribes oil inspectors who pass cheap low grade oils that explode and burn up women and children. It bribes legislators who lower tho 011 test to the danger line. It elects mcmbors of congress and United States senators. It buys judges and prostitutes courts of law. It is a smug swindler who goes to church and passes the contribution box. It is a thief who filches from the meagre store of the poor. It is a uni versal dospoilerand dosolater. Indus trial Record. No u Nfw Thins. The Alliance land-loan scheme is not of recent origin. It has been practiced beforo aud is now being npi tated in England. What England is doing to enable Irish tenant farmers to purchase their holdings by lending them the necessary funds from tho na tional treasury, at a low rate of inter est, on the security of the land, was done by Prus.da as long ago as 1850, with excellent results. The State es tablished numerous land banks, which advanced to the peasants the sum nec essary for tho purchase of the old landlord rights which were in each case commuted for a definite sum. The advance thus made constituted a first charge on tho land, and was repre sented by debenture bonds for small amounts. Tho owner of the land had tho right to pay to their credit at whatever time in whatever sums he was able, installments towards their redemption, but was bound to redeem them all fully inside of fifty years. Withii. a generation similar re forms have been carried out in other German states, and by their means large estates In eiUnire sec tions of the country have been trans ferred from reckieu nobles who wrung from them the means of profligate ex travagance by oppressing the wretched tenantry, to thrifty peasant proprie tors who draw from their small hold ings the means of virtuous comfort by the cheerful labor of their own hands. Between national loans of this kind and those sought by Senator Stanford's land-loan scheme is the radical differ ence that in the former case the total loan was moderate in amount and made for the purchase of land which remained as security for the advance; while in the latter the money to be lent would bo almost illimitable in amount and could be used for any pur pose for which the borrowers might choose to employ It ,Mm The Alliance Advocate: Every busi ness man must acknowledge that bus iness is at a low ebb at this time, All the smaller firms are struggling for a bare living, while the volume of busi ness is constantly drifting to larger firms. This is simply because the vol ume of currency is not sufficient to transact the business of the country. The Farmers and Laborers Light: Prior to the election of 1890 Kansas ranked fourth in the number of pen sioners, but since the election it has advanced vory rapidly in pensioners until now it stands at the head of tho list with pensioners. It is easily to be seen that the soldiers so long as they slick to the G. a P., will be like the colored peoplo Ignored in their claims. So long as the soldlors are counted solid, or nearly so, for the 6. O. P.. so long will they fall to get their demands, let them be ever so just. in tlis Middle of the Eoid." People's Party Medal !
