' 'In denying a citizen the right to work for a living," says Mayor Jones of Toledo, Ohio, "we are conspiring to destroy him.

It the last session of the New Zea land parliament an act was passed giving to certain municipalities the power to adopt w hat lias come to be called by single taxers in this country local option in taxation, under which a majority of electors of the munici pality may by popular vote determine whether or not they will exempt per sonal property and improvements from taxation. The gunners of the French navy are certainly not to bj congratulated on their marksmanship, if the results of the target practice of three of the larger war vessels at Toulon a few weeks ago are to be taken as a crite rion. The guns of the threo vessels blazed away at the old wooden dis patch boat Petrel, utilized as the target, which was sent about 4000 yards (two miles) away, until three hundred charges were expended, enough to have sunk a whole squadron of such vessels. The Petrel is still float, thanks to the gunners. Fanatical eeal often overreaches itself, muses the New York Observer.

A coali tion of Moslems and Hindus, which a short time ago seemed not improba ble, would have made the Indian situation extremely difficult for the British, Butjthat single act of intol erant seal at Hhabkadr may serve to confirm the loyalty of the whole Hindu population of India, on the principle not that they love England so much as that they hate the Moslem more. Should this country ever get into war again, all its warships aud cruis ers will be atonee painted olive green. It has been found that this color is the least easily seen in a greater propor tion of conditions than is any other. In daytime it harmonizes so well with the grayish color of the atmosphere near the ocean's surface that the ves sel is much loss liable to be soen than blaok. - Drab is also hard to distin guish by day, but with a searchlight it can easily be seen at a great distance at night. White is easily seen with a searchlight at night. The experiments which have resulted iu deciding what is to be Uncle Barn's fighting oolors for the navjr were made on the torpedo boat Cushing and the Ammen ram Ka tahdin. It is of some importance that this country has made these investi gations first, and is therefore entitled to first choice of colors for war vessels. It makes much difference to the safety both of vessels and seamen that they be able to get as close as possible to their enemy before being fired upon. A complaint of too mauy foxes in seotions within a few miles of Boston is rather surprising to the New York Post. ' It is, nevertheless, true that in the Middlesex Fells and the Blue Hills reservation the number of foxes is plaguing the park commissioners. A few foxes are not objectionable, but their rapid increase is fatal to the de sired increase in the uumber of ruffled grouse, quail, and other ground birds. The foxes have no natural enemies, and it is a puzzling question how to lesseu their number. Hunting them with firearms cannot be permitted, as that would open the way for poaching on the bird.- With the strict en forcement of the rule against carrying gun into the reservation, it is com paratively easy to prevent all shoot ing, but if shooting ot foxes were al lowed the game birds would suffer. One plan that has been discussed it that of runuiug the foxes with dogs by the employes, of tie park commis sioners, or under their supervision, and it is probable that this oould be done with as little disturbance to the other wild inhabitants of the Fells' as would result from following any other THE LAND OF "MAKE BELIEVE."

Thore is neither town nor hamlet nor so much even as a fisherman's hut upon t lie whole extent of the shores. For the bay is too shallow and too thickly besot with shoals and lodges to render safe tho visit of the smallest trawler or smack. As you stand upon the hill overlooking the narrow, ill-kept road which leads from St. Giles to Windsor, along the shores of the bay, you may watch the white-winged sloops and schooners going freeor tacking against a head wind, but you will never see one of them making a reach into Ba inortin bav. It is indeed an ill-omened placo, and more than one mnckcrclcr, loaded to the hatches, has grounded upon these evil shoals, and gono to pieces iu the next northeast gale. But what was chiefly given Bamntin bay its ugly reputation is n apace of beach covered only at extreme high tide and bare nt all other times, known as the Hundown Hnnds. It is a wide grayish-hued surface, running out ward some forty yirt'ds to the fringe of tumbling turf, which, during most seasons of the year, approaches no nearer the road, a mero wagon track skirting the shore at this point upon an ancient stone, wall. A perilous spot it is, too, for the highway, abuts sharply upon the sands, without rail ing or parapet, scarce rive foet above the grim expanse, which quakes and trembles from moment to moment, with mysterious hissings and groan ings, which seem to proceed from un seen coverns below. Thore are grew some stories of foot pnsscngers who have fallen off the wall and been swal lowod up, thoir piteous cries mingled with the eerie shrieks of the night boron, or the far-hoard, melancholy whoopings of the owl among the brauches of the blasted cypress upon the adjacent hillside. It is said, too, that an honest farmer, driving home ward from Kt. Giles' market by this road, lost his way in the darkness, and was never more heard of neither man nor horse nor vehicle Standing upon the ancient wall you might throw upon the smooth surface of the Hundown Hands a pebble, a J button, a twig, and as you gazed it would sink from sight in a moment, leaving all as blank and seoret as be fore. A sad and desolate spot it in. even npon the brightest midsummer noon day. The storm-writhon cypress on the hillside is tho only thing resembl ing tree or ahrnb in sight. Sparse mottlings of whithored grass find wretched sustenance among the rocks. Dank clumps of blubber weed and clots of sprawling algae cling upon the surf-worn rocks beyond the rim of the Suudown r-'uiids. Naught else has nature all beuutitlor as she is boon able to work upon this mournful place. Half a mile over the hill there is an ancient many gabled dwelling, sur rounded by evergreens, facing upon the main road. From the upper win dows a glimpse of the Suudown Sands and the old road skirting thorn may.be obtained. The young girl that stood at one of these windows, marine glass iu hand, scanned the section of the road, visible from her position, with pale face and breathless anxiety. She was tall sud sleuder of figure, with something com manding in the attitude she had un consciously assumed, which matched the firm yet gentlo aspect of her beautiful features. What first struck the observer was her magnificent hair. Bed brown, shot with glints of gold, like the hair Titian was so fond of painting, but with a glory and a bril liancy never represented by pigment on canvas, it was gathered in a superb knot at the back of her shapely head. Duriug the brief winter visits to the metropolis Berenice Tolland's hair had become famous iu the small circles she frequented. And indeed it was glorious, wpudorful hair, worthy of a gouuess oi me Arcadian days. Suddenly she dropped theglass with a cry of dismay. 'They are quarrelling!" she ejacu lated, in a smothered voice. "I must part them, or something terrible may happen." As. she turned hastily about, th fastenings or ner hair gave way and Wis glittering coil unrolled aid fell, sweeping the floor in a thick, gold- necked mass. Hwiftly she twisted it up, and, throwing a shawl of lace over her head and shoulders she harried out of the house, taking the rough, ,! descending slope of the hill as more direct than the roundabout curve of the rond.' "Let ns pause here a moment, Cousin Geoffrey. I have something serious to sav to you.". "What is U.Consin Boger? I must say yon have chosen an unpleasant spot for a talk. I never take this road if I can help It; for those ugly looking sands give me the horrors." "As good a grave a4 any other," muttered Boger, gazing over the edge of the wall with a gloomy brow. "A man might lie as comfortable under those sands as in a churchyard. " "Look you, Boger, my boy," said Geoffrey, with an attempt at gayety. "If you dragged me out of my com fortable bed this morning to listen to disquisitions npon the grave and the future state, I wish yon had let me speep an hour longer." "Geoffrey," returned Boger, raising a face whoso expression startled his companion. It was deadly pale, and a lurid gleain shot from his eyes, in dicative of such hatred and despair as appalled Ujs cousin. "Geoffrey, yon have taken from me all that makes life valuable. You have destroyed all my hopes of the future. You have con demned mo to hell, when, but for yon, I might have had heaven." "Cousin Boger," replied Geoffrey, his natural spirit beginning to over come his amazement, "I hope you are talking mere nonsense. But if you mean anything by this rigmarole I ex pect you to explain it at once. Speak out, maul" "Yon have robbed nie of Berenice Tolland's love," said Boger, with a lowering eye. "Had you not come here she would have accepted me. Now she has put me aside for you." "Boger," returned Geoffrey, seri ously, tell me, on your word of honor, were you sure that Berenice loved you before I came?" Boger paced to and fro along the edge of the sea wall, looking gloomily down upon the quaking sands, answer ing nothing for some moments. "No," he muttered, finally, ns if preforce. "No; she refused ine more than once. But, nevertheless, i should have conquered her opposition in time but for you; you who have won her awav from ine. " " Geoffrey confronted him with an angry frown. "And you, whom she has never liked; whom she lias refused again and agnin, even according to your own story.wish to drive me away make me relinquish my hopes of happiness, thnt you, who have not been able to win her, with all your opportunities, may continue to perse cute her I No, Boger, understand me plainly. If I were to crawl away niennly nt your request, and, as I take it. your threats, I should be a low a coward as you nre." The cousins, were standing facing each other upon the very edge of the sea wall, against which throbbed and bubbled the fatal Sundown Hands, "Yon refuse to go away and leave Berenice Tolland to me?" Boger's voice was scarcely audible, but the ex pression of his face was terrific in its malignity. "I do refuso, Roger," was the firm reply, "and you ought to understand that ! should be less a man to do otherwise." "Then die and find your grave in the Sundown Sands," cried Boger, flinging himself upon Geoffrey and en deavoring to hurl him over the wall. ButGooffrey.had been, in a measure, prepared for tho onslaught, and the cousins, locked in a desperate embrace swayed to aud fro upon the very brink of the fatal quicksand. The struggle was as silent as it was deadly. No word, no sound, excopt the hoarse gasps of the combatants interrupted the fatal contest. Finally, Geoffrey's foot slipped over apelible and he stag gered backward. With a bitter curl of the lip, and a savage heave of the shoulders, Boger cast liis opponent toward the edge of the wall. Geoffrey fell backward, and, with wild clutch, found himself hanging half over the wall, with his feet within an inch of the deadly sands. Dragging himself desperately up, be fell pant ing upon the edge of the parapet. Kitting to his knees and looking about him he was amazed to find his enemy nowhore in sight. Getting upon his feet, ho rubbed his crumped limbs and cried out: "Cousin Boger! Whore are you!" "Here, Cousin Geoffrey," was the sad reply, "where I deserve to be." Looking over the sea wall he beheld Boger standing aukle deep in the Sun down Hands. "Oh, Boger!" cried Geoffrey, "I must rescue yon, or you w.il be swallowed up." ' "What! whon I tried to throw you itito the sands," said Boger. "That is too much. Let me die, constat I tried to put yon where I am now. For give mo, and let me go." "Oh, there must be some means," cried Geogrey, looking , wildly about. "Home branch, some" "None, dear Geoffrey," replied Boger, who had now sunk half way to his knees. At that moment a girl came racing ltfie a deer down the stony side of tl hill. "Oh! thank God you are Bafe!'" she cried, as she fell upon Geoffrey's breast.' "I was so afraid that awful lau might injure you." "Here is that awful inun, Berenice," said a mournful voice below the sea wall. "His power to do harm is nearly over." "Cousin Boger!" exclaimed the girl, bending over the wall. "Oh, save him, Geoffrey; save himl" "Ho I would," replied Geoffrey, "if I had a stick, or a rope, even of five j feet length, But what can I do? Long before I can rnn to the house, li Will be swallowed np. ' "Five feet, yon say!" cried the girl. "Here, here!" and with a gesture she unbound her magnificent hair and cast , the glistening rope over the wall. "Catch hold I Catch . hold, Cousin Boger!" The sunny coil fell within the reach of the imperilled man, who clutched it with the grasp of desperation. Slowly he was drawn out of the fright ful sands, nntil his feet were free, and ho could meet the clasp of the hands extended to him with the friendly grip which hail forgotten the touch of anger in the joy of rescue. As Boger stood upright and shook the sand from his feet, he extended both hands toward Geoffrey, who took them heartily. "Geoffrey," said Boger, "I have been very near death in a most terrible form, and it has taught me a lesson. iorgive.me and be happy." ' And yon, cousin, "replied Oeonrey "if yon are ever disposed to envy our happiness remember that you were saved by Berenice's hair." New York Journal. CURES FOR INSOMNIA. "Don't Keep Yourself Awnke In Tryl ns to Oo Asleep' I One. One of the 'gastronomio magazines has an article giving some comprehen sive directions regarding the cure of sleeplessness. It is sensible in admit ting tho complexity of a case of in somnia and of the doubts often con nected with its origin. A man may apply all hia own knowledge nnd that of his medical adviser and yet be un able for a time to overcome the tendency of the mind to drift along in helpless consciousness . through the long hours of the night. But there must be a cause for this perverseness nnd a remedy for it, though the cure may not be found without a persever ing quest. The American needs a full share of sleep. He works hnrd with brain and nerves, and is apt to play as hard as he works. To lie in bed with the wheels of thought running on waste material is a sort of torture as well as a danger to health. Napo leon's faculty of going to sleep on tlie instant was one of the greatest ad vantages he had over the commanders on the other side. According to the magazine authority the worst enemies of sleep are worry ing, overwork, overeating, indigestible suppers, and the habitual use of stunii hints and drugs. The cure includes strict ntteution to diet, a well ventilated sleeping room, some light exercise, liko n walk, an hour after the evening meal, and freedom, of course, from worry. Napoleon had as many cures, and perplexities as the next man. but arbitrarily stmt them off. It is not well to go to bed hungry. A cup of hot milk or a light sandwich is advised when that sensation is felt. Yet it is necessary to remember that insomnia and an overloaded stomach nre closely acquainted. Stimulants nnd narcotics in the end are sleep des troyers. The condition they induce is not refreshing sleep. Sleepiness is an indication of the need of sleep and mnst not be combatod too far. People who aleep but little should not be permitted to disturb those who are differently constituted. When the whole subject is weighed the main remedy is seen to be good habits and a tranquil mind. Some who resolve to discard worry contiune the habit over insomnia. They must be philosophical over that as well as all elso. "-Don't keep yourself awake in trying to get to sleep" is the in junction. It would be far better to revert to some mild abstraction, such, for instance, as the many fine things that have been said of sleep. Think of Leigh Hunt's definition of it as the time whon the mysterious spirit goes to take its airy round; of Words worth calling it a captive never wish ing to be free; of Scott's advice to sleep inpeace and wake in joy, which necessarily involves good health and a good conscience; of Bulwer's tribute to "the happiest of earthly boons;" of Milton nodding under the timely dew of sleep,-and of Emerson's thought that "Sleep lingers all our lifetime about our eyes, as night hovers all day in the boughs of the fir tree." The right frame of mind' and body is the cure for insomnia. St. Louis Globe-Cemocrat. Colors or Plants. Miss Esther Thompson in the Asa Gray Bulletin, disputes ,the dogma that color in flowers is solely the prod uct of light; and also the dogma that color is given to flowers for the pur pose of attracting insects, and thus aid ing in cross-fertilization. In defense of her view, she points out that there is as much variation in color in roots in the darkness of un derground life, as in the flowers ex posed to the full light above. She refers to white and yellow car rots, purple beets, red onions, the golden fibres of the Coptis, commonly called gold-thread; and she gives numorous other instances. In the black, upturned mud of a swamp, she collected among the network of roots, ivory white, brown, black and yellow tinted fibres, belonging to various species of plnuts. .She further oonteuds mat so great is the difference iu the color ot roots that species and even varieties can often be readily distinguished by the shades of oolor aloue. She sums up by objecting to the general theory that color iu flowers and foliuge ia a devel opment to serve some special purpose in the individual's ."struggle for life." HI Treaiture.

Woman s Home Companion. The Pnpnlnr .lurlcet for Next Winter. "The tendency of the winter jacket is toward the blouse effect, which is obtained by darts." writes Isabel A. Mull on in the Ladies' Home Journal. "Yokes, collars, cuffs, pipings in fur, whether it be mink, Persian lnmb, ermine, sable, silver and black fox, or monkey, will be popular. Velvet and silk braid of all widths are much used. Satin cloth is really the novelty of the day, and obtains in holiotrope, green, mode, golden-brown, silver-gray, royal blue, dove and Lincoln green. On this are seen, not only the fur decora tions mentioned, bnt also a very thick, coarse, black woolen braid, and tiny straps of leather matching or contrast ing with tho ' cloth in color. Collars contiune high, are gored and undulat ing, and may bo lined with fur, vel vet or lace. . Wattean effects are seen. Capes will continue to be worn. The novelty in their trimming is a flounce of the same material about the edges, described by the French modiste as 'cut in round." Whnt Women liny II air Dye. "Who are the people who chiefly buy hnir dyes?" asks the Hospital. "Most people will answer, 'Fading beauties, who ace in their gray hairs the threatening termination of their empire; women of fashion who insist on their gowns being of the tint thnt is in the latest vogue, and must, there fore, color their hair nnd complexion to harmonize with it if they are to present a apleasing appearance; ac tresses whose counterfeit presentment of the part they play must be complete in every detail.' So far as the widely advertised 'restorers' go thisi surmise would be correct but the clremists in the poorer quarters of London could tell another tale. There the chief pur chasers of hair dye are not womon.bnt men, and it is not vanity that prompts them to hide the signs of age. In the incessant competition that goes on among the unskilled, the younger claimants, who are presumably the stronger, are preferred, and gray hairs may mean starvation. It is pitiful that such a dread of old age should bang over many. But, as the body ages soiiiier than the mind, it is inevi table that this should be so wherever man contributes more of brute strength than of intelligence to the performance of his task. The clever man has become an overseer by the age his fellow is dismissed, and looks forward to years of usefulness. There fore, let us pray that men may more and more come to contribute the in telligent and not the mechanical force to our industries." Chang's Female Pltysirlan. The first Chinese lady to practice medicine in her own land is Dr. Bacbel Q. Benn, of Tien-Tain, who was appointed physician to the women in the household of Li Hung Chang after his recent trip around the world, says the Independent. There are two other Chinese women who stand pre eminent aa leaders in this new revolt against the subjection of women, Miss Wang and Dr. Eng, who have just been appointed delegates to the women's congress to be held in Lion don in 18'JH. The latter was born of an aristocratic family in Fuchau, her father being a mandarin. He became converted to Christianity, aud with him his two sons, who for the past thirty years have been Methodist preachers and presiding elders. When a child Miss Eng was placed in a girl's boarding school, where she evinced such marked ability that in her fit teenth year she was sent across the seas and entered Ohio Wesleyan uni versity, being graduated four years later. Three years more of study and the degree of doctor ot medicine was conferred on her by the Woman's Medical college of Philadelphia, and also, after a brief post-graduate course, by the Philadelphia Polyclinic. When she returned home the mandarins and coolies, high and low, met the ship, eager to pay their respects, for her fame had traveled before her. One instance is related ot a coolie wheel ing her blind old mother iu a wheel barrow 100 miles to consult her. She performed such remarkable cures in the eyes of her countrymen that she is now known as the "Miracle Lady." Armenians Doing Housework During the last eight months be tween 100 and 200 Armeniau refuges, unable to find work at their own trades or professions, have gone into situations to do housework, and Miss Blackwell of Boston, who found them positions, has yet to receive the first eomplalut from any employer of dis honesty or any serious misconduct, even iu the case ot those who proved onsuited to the work aud had to be sent back, A year's experience with due of these men, who arrived entire ly ignorant of our language and custom s.enables one to subscribe most heartily to Miss Blackwell' recom mendation.

IT nnmugtuu Star. Rome Poetlo Queen. A clever Englishwoman, Mary E. Garton, has called attention to the large number of women of royal blood who have been hymn writers of some sort. Hhe awards the palm to Carmen Sylvia, the famous poet queen of Bou mauia. This distinguished singer in herits much of her talent from her mother, the princess of Wied, who, in her time, wrote some very touching and impressive hymns and chants. Elizabeth, queen of Bohemia, who was grandmother of George I and a direct ancestress of Queen Victoria, wrote excellent religious poetry when , at home in Scotland before her ninr : 1 a.i :.. i. i inff?, huh ni ioi buttv voivuiuujr m iici adopted country. Another one of the Stuart family, Mary Queen of Scots, is also said to . have composed several verses upon church topics of consider able beauty. A royal singer of more that average ability was Marie, queen of Hungary. Her life waa one of great trouble, and what little joy she found was in religious activity, or contem plation. Her stanzas express the emotions which would be born of so sad a career. A poet whose name is found in many German anthologies is the Princess Louisa Henrietta, elec tress of Brandenburg, who was one of the forebears of the present emperor of that land. She was a woman of strong character, who frequently con ducted religious exercises, aud then writing her own prayers, sermons and hymns. The mother of Emperor Wil liam I, the Princess Louisa of Meck-lenburg-Strelitz, in credited witn two or three beautiful hymns. That bril liant writer, Queen Margaret of Na varre, wrote several religious poetical compositions of great beauty and force. The Empress Catherine of Bus sin is said to have composed many lines marked' by grim humor and satire, rather than sweetness or senti ment, while the virgin Queen Eliza beth wrote and destroyed many re ligious verses, of which a few have come down to the modern age.
