It is now proposed to build the Main street sewer from Water to Fifth street, the statement being made that there is enough money in the sewer fund to do this but of course the necessary expenditure of 8200 or 8300 a month for other sewers is overlooked in the eagerness to rush the Main street scheme.

Philadelphia Inquirer: There would be no objection to doubling congressional salaries if we could double the value of congressmen.
New York-Sun (Dem.): Most of the appointments made thus far by President Harrison have done credit to his judgment and to his sense of political fitness.
Pittsburg Dispatch: The report that Jay Gould is to take a hand in Wall street would not be ground for excitement If It were certain that he would take nothing else. Incidentally, however. It is intimated that he may take the Atchison, Topeka A Santa Ke railroad.
Philadelphia Inquirer: Why should we go on from year to year confining the family of the president as well as the president himself In a tumble-down old house which has outlived Its day? The nation has money enough to build an executive mansion that would be a credit to the capital in point of equipment and style. It owes it to Itself to perform this duty.
St. Louis cilobe-Democrat: Under the last administration the English and Austrian missions were held reepecUvely by a New England copperhead and a confederate brigadier, whereas under the present administraUon these places will be filled by the sins of the two men who did most to preserve the Union. The contrast is a plain and significant one.
Indianapolis Journal: General Harrison's rule In the matter of removing Democratic office-hold-ers Is the right one. Each must stand upon his individual merits or demerits, and is not measured by the rule of the late administration, which saw an offensive partisan In eterv member of the opposite party. The preseat administraUon believes In and will carry out civil service reform ot the genuine sort.
AN ECCENTRIC UNIFORM.
[From the French ol Atphonse Allaire.!1
After a scrape more desperate than any of the proceeding ones, and the Lord knows if some of them had not been extravagant enough, the young Viscount de la Hurlotte was requested by bis father to make a five years' contract with the French army.
As Guy's motto was that there is fun everywhere, he merely asked that he should not be sent too far away from Paris. "Why not to some poet a step from the Boulevard," answered the terrible count. "No, my son, you shall go to Senegal."
The countess burst into tears. '"Senegal—does any one ever come back from Senegal?" "To Algeria then."
At last, after more maternal tears, they agreed upon an insignificant poet in Normandy, very mournful and possessing not a single night resort.
Guy's entrance into military life was exactly what one would have expected from his remarkable career as a civilian.
With the charming ease and aristocratic grace which were the envy of his comrades, Guy, provided with his papers, arrived in the presence of the officer who acted as clerk of the regiment and who had been dubbed the Big Major. "Good morning^ ladies! Good ing, gentlemen! Ah! beg your pardon —there are no ladies—and I regret it. Kindly direct me to the big major." "Here he is," said a eros^ dried-up old man who wore a smoking jacket. "What, you the big major," exclaimed the amazed viscount. "Well, I'm glad it's you that told me, or I wouldn't have believed it. Why, you're not big at all, and you don't look like a major. When I used to hear of the big major, I pictured to myself a sort of uniformed cask, and here I find a civilian bean pole."
Not altogether pleased at these impertinent remarks, the officer became furious when he discovered that they were made by a simple recruit.
Guy's conduct received its immediate reward, in the shape of a week in the guard-room "besides," [added the officer, "I'll undertake to recommend you to your captain." "Thank you beforehand, my dear major. I rely upon you. One can't be too well recommended to one' superiors."
Guy immediately became the cook of the regiment for he brought to the fulfillment of his duties so much imagination and such a fund of surprise that the discipline of the regiment suffered somewhat. But how could any one be angry at the mad, charming viscount, whose heart and whose cigars were always at your service?
With the meager allowance he received from his family and the extended credit be had managed to procure himself in town Guy led the life of a grand seigneur, for whom count neither edicts or laws. Nevertheless within a few days after his enlistment he managed to scoop, as they say in the army, a couple of days in solitary confinement.
As he was passing with his company through the main street of Guy had mimicked a furious declaration of love and sent innumerable kisses to a young woman who from her balcony was
IlfT
aptain Lemballeur was shocked at such conduct, and had no sooner returned to the post than he wrote in the order of the day tbe following as the reason for Guy's punishment: "Conducted himself while in the ranks in a manner both tumultuous and gesticulatory, not at all consonant with the role of a recruit of the second class."
You can imagine the fate of this piece of rhetoric in the hands of Guy. The words "tumultuous and gesticulatory" became classic, in town as well as in the regiment, and the poor captain no longer dared to punish Guy.
Even the colonel of the regiment was disarmed by the continuous overflow of animal spirits, and when he heard of some new prank of the viscount, he would merely shrug his shoulders and mutter, "That confounded La Hur lotte."
It would take volumes to relate all the military exploits of our joyous friend but I will, with your permission, tell you the episode which, in my opinion marks the culminating point of his fan tastic career.
It was on a Monday night, and Guy was on duty. At 10 o'clock he went on guard at the magazine, situated some three hundred yards from the post.
That night there was considerable stir and bustle about the spot, for some people in the neighborhood were giving a fancy dresss ball, to which had been invited all the swells of
Some of the guests—for Guy was as well known in town as he was popular in his regiment—recognized in the humble sentinel the brillianti vscount.'
There was but one cry: "What, La Hurlotte, aren't you one of us to-night?" "I regret, extremely but it is somewhat difficult for me to get away just now. The protection of this building has been confided to me, and if any one should carry it away in my absence, I should have to pay the government for it—a thing that wouldn't please my papa at all, and he has already borne so much." "Can't you get Bome one to take your nlnr«?" "That's an idea."
It was in fact an idea a bad one, it is true, but to Guy a bad idea was better than none at all.
Just then a soldier, or rather a timid, little, blonde fellow passed. "Halloa, Baudru! do you want to earn ten francs?" "I don't refuse. What do you want me to do?" "Take my place until a quarter to twelve."
Baudru at first was shocked by this very incorrect proposition—but, then, ten francs! "All right give me your gun and your belt and don't be too late."
Guy's entrance made a sensation. He had found in the hall a superb suit of armor, into which he had inserted himself, and he arrived lasaue on head, lace in hand, caracoling as'in the old tourneys.
The enemy was represented by several plates of patties and cups of tea with which the floor was soon strewn.
The hostess was beginning to be seriously alarmed for the safety of the rest of her china, when Baudru, pale as death, rushed into the ball-room. "Make baste^La Hurlotte here comes the officer on duty making his rounds take your gun and your belt."
A whirlwind of terror swept through Guy's brain—the military code—absent from his post—death!
All this in a few seconds, then he suddenly recovered his presence of mind. To take off the armor was out of the

question the officer would have time to make a dozen rounds. "The devil take it. so much the worse. I'll go as I am and find some excuse."
He was just in time. The officer and his lantern bearer were not more than fifty yards from the sentry box. Guy put himself boldly in position, set his lance, and in aloud voice somewhat smothered by his vizier, which was down, be cried: "Halt, who goes there!"
At the sudden apparition, the soldier let his lantern fall, and even the brave Captain Lemballeur, for it was he, was for an instant disconcerted.
If La Hurlotte's ancestors could at that moment have come back upon the earth they would have been proud of their descendant, for Guy, glistening with steel, casqued, his lance set rest, really presented a noble appearance.
The moon shone full on the scene. Nevertheless the captain's surprise
came to an end. "I will wager that it's you again Hurlotte."

AMUSEMENTS.
The appearance of Mr. James O'Neill as "Count of Monte Cristo," at Naylor's to-night, will be the dramatic event of the season. As Edmond Dantes, who afterwards appears as the "Count of Monte Cristo," Mr. O'Neill is one of the most polished and finished actors on the American stage. His portrayal of the character is well nigh perfect, and so true to nature that the strange but powerful story appears as a realization. His magnificent physique, his striking demeanor, in fact his whole conduct through the vicissitudes of the romantic life of the sailor, the prisoner and the count, makes the character one of the grandest on the stage. Indeed, the play which Fechter made is rendered standard by O'Neill. The company in which Mr. O'Neill plays is well and thoroughly equipped for che presentation of the story of the mysterious millionaire. The scenery is fine and the mounting of the play is in every respect superior to that of a great many plays which come to the opera house on a more pretentious scale. The realistic effect of the surroundings and the powerful portrayal of Edmond Dantes as himself and as the count of Monte Cristo make the play what it really is—one of the finest that the theatergoers will witness this season,

Onr Own Chester Fanlkner.
Chester R. Faulkner, the Indiana Democrat who was removed, for mani fest inefficiency, from his position as chief of tbe record division of the pension office about a year ago by General Black, and was afterward reinstated by Secretary Vilas upon demand of Senator Voorhees, has again been requested to resign, says a Washington special. This time a Republican commissioner and secretary join in making the request, and Mr. Faulkner will have to go. His resignation will go into effect to-morrow. One of Mr. Faulkner's most noticeable peculiarities was a mal aproprian extravagance of language which manifested itself upon all occasions, and when he ordered his clerks not to "lemonade in the cuspidors" no one suspected that he meant they should not promenade in the corridors. After to-morrow the place in the pension of fice that has known the eccentric Hoosier Democrat for nearly four years will know him no more.
Kxtraordinary Weather in March.
In various ways March was a remarkable month. The lowest temperature noted by the signal service observer was 22 deg above zero on the 30th and two days (the 15th and 16th) the temperature rose to 71 deg. The greatest rangs of temperature in any one day was on the 30th, when the mercury, starting at 22 deg crept up the tube past the deg. mark. The mean, temperature for the month was 42.6 deg, which showed it the warmest month since 1882. Snow fell on two days. There were six clear days, fourteen fair days, and eleven cloudy days during the month. Nearly every March has much more rainfall than the last one, which had 2 25 inches. In March 1885, however, only .82 inches fell.—[Indianapolis News. f/
Winter and Spring Wheat.
"Are you aware," remarks a flour dealer to a News representative, "that bakers will pay more for spring wheat flour than for winter wheat?" "And why?" "Because Bpring wheat will absorb from nine to ten gallons more water per barrel than winter wheat flour, and as all loaves are weighed in the dough before baking, this makes quite a difference. They get paid for the extra weight of water."—[Indianapolis News.
His Bead Was Level.
A bright youth, undergoing examina tion a few days since for admission to one of the government departments, found himself confronted with the question, "What is the distance from the earth to the sun?" Not having the exact number of miles with him, he wrote in reply: "I am unable to state accurately, but don't believe the sun is near enough to interfere with the proper performance of my duties if I get this clerkship."—[Washington Critic.*

After several efforts Guy finally succeeded in raising the vizier of his helmet. "Let me explain, captain—as it was somewhat cold "Yee, my friend, go en. I am well aware that it isn't cheek that you lack, but this is a little too much. Oblige me by taking back that costume to the tin shop from which you got it. You'll hear from me again."
Guy finished his sentry duty, devoured by apprehension, a feeling he had not yet known.
Captain Lemballeur, on his side, was no lees puzzled as to this manner ir which he should define on the order ol the day the reason for Guy's punishment for his brother officers still teased him with the famous "manner both tumultuous and gesticulatory."

HOLLAND'S PBOFU8ATC KINO DY1N6.
His Little 8-Year-Old Daughter Will Be Proclaimed Queen Keffnaat.
The life of King William III. of Polland, which is now drawing to pitiable close, must be divided into two distinct and separate parts, says the New York World. His pnblic life, as the constitutional sovereign of the Netherlands mod as the benefactor of his country, has been above reproach. On the other hand his private life has been beneath all oontempt. His immoralities and debaucheries have rendered his name a by-word among European monsrchs. Certainly no monarch of the present century, with the possible exception ot King Geerge IV. of England and Victor Emmanuel of Italy, have given rise to so much scandal, and although he is-go-ing down to his grave mourned by his subjects as a kindly and patriotic king, yet his memory abroad will live as that of one of the great profligates of the present age.
Probably this somewhat peculiar anomaly is due to the fact that most of his intrigues and love affairs took place abroad, chiefly in Paris and on the shores of the lake of Geneva, in Switzerland, while, when at home, either in his palace at The Hague or in his .beautiful country seat at Loo, his conduct was exceedingly decorous and praiseworthy.
For several weeks past his existence has been prolonged mainly by artificial means. Hid sufferings have been ot such a nature as to render his life but a living death, and so horrible is his condition that no one is $ole to (ptnain in the sick room for more than a few- minutes at a time. Meanwhile he refuses to receive any medicine or any care excepting from the hands of his wife, Queen Emma, a young princess, just forty-two years .his junior and the touching devotion and attention with which she has performed her painful task for the last few months goes far to disarm the criticism to which she subjected herself when in 1879 she sold her twenty-one years and her beauty to 64-year-old William for the sake of becoming queen of the Netherlands.
However, her task is almost at an end The cabinet, realizing the fact that William can scarcely be regarded any longer as a living creature, has declared him incapacitated from reigning, and the coming week wili- see the regency vested in the hands pf the young queen, as the guardian of her little 8 year-old daughter Wilhelmine, who, on the demise of the old king, will be proclaimed 83 queen regnant of Holland.
King William was born in February, 1817, his mother being a Russian grand duchess, the daughter of the crazy Czar Paul of Russia. He ascended the throne of the Netherlands on the death of his father, King William II., in 1849, having married ten years previously Princess Sophie, of Wurtemberg, who was one of the most remarkable and talented women of her time. She died in 1877, after after giving birth to two sons. The elder of the two, well known at Paris by the nickname of "Citron," almost excelled his father in reputation as a profligate, and died at Paris some fifteen years ago. The second son. Prince Alexandre, a, cripple and physically deformed, died a few years afterwards of consumption.
In 1879 King William married the 21-year-old daughter of the reigning prince of Waldeck-Pyrmont, one of the most impoverished of the petty reigning sovereigne of Germany. By this marriage he has one little daughter, born in 1880, and on whose head are centered all Hoi land's hopes,
SEASONING.
Few cookB season food well, and yet no one thing goes further to render it palatable. Soup, vegetables and meat are insipid and distasteful when served without seasoning. Of course, tastes differ as to the amount of pepper, salt and other flavoring necessary in each dish, but a general knowledge of the art will enable every cook to come very near the degree. If a little more is needed, it may be added at the table, and will blend in with that given,"while if not seasoned at all food can not be made to receive the proper flavor after being cooked.
Housekeepers who do their own cook? ing, or keep a cook, will find it equally convenient to always keep prepared seasoning on hands. Every French kitchen is thus supplied, and even the humblest household serves well-season ed, palatable food.
Parsley, thyme, sweet marjoram and sage should be kept dried in buncher. The roots and leaves of celery may be dried in the oven, grated and bottled for use. A jar of mixed seasoning may be made as follows: Take one ounce each of nutmeg and mare two ounces each of white pepper and cloves one ounce each of sweet basil, marjoram and thyme half an ounce of bay leaves. First roughly pound the spices and dried herbs, then place between two sheets of paper, fold tightly, and put in a warm place to dry. Then pound quickly, put through a sieve, put in bottles, cork, and set away for use.
One teaspoonful of the mixture will season a gallon of soup. A pinch added to gravy or hash will give a delightful flavor.
Luck Struck Them.
The natives Tf the Gilbert group of islands -have just enjoyed a veritable win Ifall. A large ship with a full cargo and nobody on board sailed into their harbor. The vessel was the British ship Rock Terrace, and the strange part about the matter is that the ship was abandoned by her crew about twelve months ago and instead of foundering soon, she drifted on and on until she reached the Gilbert islands. She left Philadelphia for Japan in September, 1887, with a cargo of oil and phosphates valued at $125,000. When near the Philippine island the crew abandoned their vessel, landing on an island close by, all of them being saved. Nothing further was heard of her and the underwriters paid the sum for which she was insured. She bad but a few inches of water in her hold and was in fair condition. She wa9 owned in St. John, N.

THS 8PCKD OF THOUGHT.
How Lone it Takes an Idea to Rea^h the Brain.
Some of the readers have no doubt frequently made use of the expression "quick as thought," but have any of t\em ever stopped to consider how quick thought is? A writer in the Nineteenth Century has made some interesting calculations regarding the comparative length of time it takes to call to mind various every day facts.
It takes about two-fifths of a second to call to mind the country in which a well-known town is situated, or the lanlage in which a familiar author wrote, can think of the name of next month in half the time we need to think of the name of last month. It takes on the average one-third of a second to add numbers consisting of one digit, and half a second to multiply them. Such experiments give us considerable insight into the mind.
Those used to reckoning can add two to three in lees time than the others those familiar with literature can remember more quickly than others that Shakespeare wrote "Hainlet" It takes longer to mention a month when a season has been given than to say to what month a neaoon belongs.
The time taken up in choosing a motion, the "will time," can be measured as well
pb
the time taken up in perceiving.
If I do not know which ot two colored lights is to be presented, and must lift my right hand if it be red and my left if it be blue, I need about one-thirteenth of a second to initiate the correct motion. I have also been able to register tbe sound waves made in the air by speaking, and thuB have determined that in order to call up the name belonging to a printed word I need about one-ninth of a second, to a letter one-sixth of a second, to a picture one-quarter of a second, and to a color one-third of a second.
A letter can be seen more quickly than a word, but we are
BO
used to reading
aloud that the process haa become quite automatic, and a word can be read with greater ease and in less time' than a letter can be named. The Bame experiments made on other persons give times differing but little from my own. Mental processes, however, take place more slowly in children, in the aged, and in the uneducated.
H1PP0PHA6ISTS.
Tlie Growing Use of Horseflesh in Great Britain.
Horseflesh, it would seem, is much more extensively sold in England than the general public is aware of, says the American Analyst. A bill has been introduced into parliament providing.for absolute protection of the people from all fraudulent traders in the article. In every shop or stall where the meat is found for sale, the fact must be indicated by a painted Bign, some four inches in length. It is fur ther provided that every purchaser, who has bought, without asking for horseflesh, shall be supplied with a label, on which shall be printed in legible letters not less than an inch in length, the word "horseflesh." Any infraction of the
lavr
ie to be punished with a fine
which may amount to one hundred dollars. Power is given to justices to grant search warrants for suspected places and health officers are authorized to make suitable inspections of meat when occasion calls for it. The flesh of asses and mules comes under the heading of "horseflesh." How is it in America? How is it in these United States? How is it in New York and Brooklyn? Possibly inquiry is pertinent. Thaaks, howevor, to this being an agricultural coun try where beef is plentiful and cheap, and to our laboring classes, earning larger wages than thos9 in Europe, we have no need of using horseflesh. But, another pertinent inquiry is suggested, the horse being a clean animal, much more so than the hog or chicken, what possible harm can there be in horseflesh?
THE CASE OP KEMPINSKI.
A Request That it be Fnlly Investigated by the Russian Government,
WASHINGTON, April 2.—The department of state has been informed by the United States secretary of legation, at St. Petersburg, that he has already requested the Russian government to investigate the case of Kempinski, said to be a naturalized American citizen, who was exiled to Siberia by the Russian authorities upon his return to Russia. It has been reported to the department that Kempinski was 18 or 19 years of age when he left Russia for the United States. While the department will investigate the case thoroughly, there is said to be no need for caution, for with this statement of the case it may appear that Kempinski was eligible for military service, and that his emigration to the United States was nothing less than a military desertion.
The need for deliberate action in such cases is exemplified in the case of Count Cypriani, about which the press was much disturbed a year ago. It was asserted that the count, an American citizen, had returned to Italy, only to be seized and thrown into a dungeon. Careful inquiry by the department of state revealed that Count Cypriani was not an American citiz9n that he was not in an Italian dungeon, and that he did not return to Italy, but stopped at Corsica on hearing that he was liable to arrest if be did return. Last week the count took out his naturalization papers, and is now an American citizen.
Tlie Bee Cure for Rheumatism."
The following treatment of rheumatism is so
Bingularlv
original that, even
if it should be altogether inefficacious, it still merits to be described. It comes to us directly from Vienna, and it belongs to Dr. Terc.
It is necessary at-first to suppose that you have at your disposition a hive with many bees. Now, the discoverer wishes to observe that the sting of a bee generally leaves after it a tumefaction more or less considerable but after a number of considerable stings this tumefaction is no longer produced, because the body has acquired a certain immunity. With rheumatic per-, sons this tumefaction comes with "difficulty, and only after a number of stings. By continuing the stinging process the swelling ceases completely. Then the patient is cured of his rheumatism, and remains for some time out of danger of relapses. To produce a complete cure it is necessary to saturate the entire body With bee venom, and keep on multiplying the stings. Dr. Terc has applied this method in 173 cases.
Onr Coal Production. US
The report of the production of coal in the United States in 1888, shows that V—-v.-
•mtMN-sr-
the output of the country has been heavily increased. In the calendar year ended a few weeka ago there were, in round figures, 145,400,000 short tons ot coal mined in the United States, as compered with 130.000,000 tons in the previous year. The gain in value was from $182,000,000 in 1887, to 6-208,000.000 in 1888. For years past the United States has stood second on the list of coal-pro-ducing countries, Great Britain being first. No figures have yet been made public giving the output of the British islands for 1888, but there can be no doubt that the gap between the two countries is rapidly lessening. The production ot Great Britain in 1887 was 162,000,000 tons, and that ot the United States in the same year 116,000,000. the tons here being long tons of 2,240 pounds. England was then in the lead 46,000,000 tons, but it is probable that this margin of excess was largely reduced in 1888. Germany, which ranks next to the United* States in coal output, produces but little more than half as much as this country.—[Bradatreeta.
