The Lock Haven Democrat is author
ity for the statement that grasshoppers
are becoming very numerous in counties
adjoining Clinton county. In some
localities they are destroying vegeta

potatoes and beans have been destroyed

to save them, and cattle are Buffering

A meeting of garment-makers was
held in Pittsburg recently to consider
what could be done to better their cod.'
dition. Some of the statements made
go to show that this class of workers
have just reasons to oonsider the mat
ter of wages. In one case reported six
men work in a room 8x10 feet in size,
In this room they work not less than
fourteen hours and eat and sleep. The
wages earned are from 00 cents to $1.25
a day. It is Bald that sack suits of
clothing for men are made from 80 cents
to 11.00, the latter being paid for the
better class of suits. In some cases 8
cents are paid for making a pair of
trousers. These are samples and not
extravagant ones. Who will deny it
that such wages as are paid in these
shops, such accommodations as are fur
nished the poor victims, and such hours
as they must work are a burning shame
to our country and our civilization?
The people that are always looking for
cheap clothing do not stop to oonsider
how the garments were made so cheap
ly, nor do they care, just so they gat a
uit at the lowest possible price. Cheap
clothing to in great demand in every
town.

Wake Up, Cirlsl
If tho girls would only wake up and
study the world for themselves, a great
deal of the wretchedness which seems to
belong to this mundano sphere might be
avoided. There is entirely too much of
an Inclination shown by parents and
their daughters to take a man on trust.
A nice looking fellow appears on the
scono. Ho wears good clothes; and
seems to have money enough to go
a-wooing In regulation fashion, and forth
with his pathway becomes a bed of
roses. If there are any family thorns
they are carefully kept from pricking
his lordship. PcrhBps some member
more sensible than the rest insists that
it would be wise to look into the dally
methods of this would-be lover. The
practical suggestion Is hushed In a
twinkling. hat: attempt such a
move? Why, it might quench the tiny
flame, a mere flicker as yet which
should be fanned into a blaze, else how
Is the daughter of the household to fol

don't want a man who Is afraid of good,
honest work, and there are lots of them
who are; you dont want to have to
spend the very best of your youth in
living to reform a man or shield him, so
that you will not become a claimant for
the pity of your frionds; you don't want
a man who is stingy, and what girl with
two grains of sense is not sharp enough
to discover this trait in the lovers,
neither do you want a spendthrift: you
don't want a jealous husband, for he is
about as dangerous to live with as a
lunatic. Ex.

"Wall, I'll be dinged ef you hain't got
one on 'em, too!" remarked an old
gontleman from the western part of tho
county, as he stepped into a Lock Hav
en man's office Saturday and caught
sight of the proprietor's bicycle. "Say,"
continued the old gentleman, as he
curiously eyed the 'cycle, "Is that one
o' them wind mashoens that run them
selves, er d'you have to pump 'er along
yourself?"
"Have to pump 'er myself," replied
the owner, whereupon the caller con
tinued: "Wall, ef I was glttin' one o' them
things I reckon I'd want one o' the kind
that you pump full o' wind an' it runs
itself. I met a young feller out east of
town rldln' on one, an' he showed me
how it worked. His was a wind mash-
een, an' it had about run down, so he
showed me all about it. It had big rub
ber pipes around the whoels, an' when
them pipes was pumped full of wind all
he had to do was to jest put his feet In
the stirrups to stlddy her, an' away she
went, good for 20 miles. Fifteen dollars
he said his masheen cost, an' I tell you
it was a nloe one!" Lock Haven Ex

"An Intra-Mural View," a very artis
tic brochure, has been received from
The Curtis Publishing Company, Phila
delphia, publishers of The lulim' 1 limit
Journal, As the titlo indicates, the
booklst gives us glimpses of the interi
ors of the JmirnaVn offices, and some
idea of tho work carried on there. The
main building, entirely occupied by the
editorial and business offices, was de
signed by Mr. Hardenbergh, the archi
tect of the Hotel Waldorf, New York,
and was completed in January, 1803.
The exterior is attractive and the in
terior elegantly appointed and admir
ably planned. The numerous illustra
tions, showing tho commodious and well
fitted offices, and the accompanying
text, giving us some insight into the
work In the different bureaus, requiring
a force approximating four hundred em
ployees, indicate the wonderful success
which The Lnilim limit Journal has
achieved in an almost incredibly short
time. The first number was issued in
December, 1883, so that less than eleven
years have elapsed since Mr. Curtis
conceived the idea which has developed
into so vast an enterprise. In this
short time Its merit and steady improve
ment In all departments have received
such recognition that its circulation
has reached the enormous average of
about 700,000, tho largest magazine out
put in the world. The brochure also
describes at some length the work of
printing and binding the Journal, which
is carried on in a separate building.
"An Intra-Mural View" will be sent to
any one who will address The Curtis
Publishing Company, and inclose four
cunts In stamps for postage.

It has always been a mystery why a
jury gives a verdict of "not guilty but
pay half the costs." The following Is
an explanation given by a lawyer:
"This form of verdict is peculiarly a
Pennsylvania institution, and It has ex
cited a deal of wonderment among poo-
ple generally, who do not understand
its signficance. The law requires tho
judges to charge juries in quarter ses
sions cases to make a disposition of the
costs whenever the verdict is 'not
guilty.' They may put the costs upon
the dofendant, or on the prosecutor, or
they may divide them between the
prosecutor and defendant in such por
tions as they see fit; or they may put
the costs on the county. It would be
hard to tell what the astute member of
the legislature who originated the idea
had in mind, but the probable explana
tion is this: Under our system of Bond
ing petty cases of assault, malicious
mischief, etc., for trial in the quarter
sessions, a large number of frivolous
cases make their appearance at every
term, and, of course, a bill of costs Is
attached to each one of them. Quite
often the parties are both more or less
blame-worthy, and one or the other is
muloted in the costs. If the verdict
was put In this form, "just guilty enough
to pay the costs,' it would be more in
telligible and express exactly the idea
intended to be conveyed. A good many
of those petty cases are throttled by the
grand jury (at times more than half of
all they invesigate) but still justices
send them in believing that they are
required to do so."
