What Will the Young Men Do About It?

Thirty-one young ladies of Warsaw, Ky., have resolved to conduct themselves as thoughtful young ladies with some knowledge of political and domestic economy should, and to this end have mutually signed a pledge to abstain for a year at least from all extravagance in dress. They propose to purchase no dress goods which shall cost more than twenty-five cents per yard and to beequally thrifty in the administration of household affairs. Very frequently young lady clubs have resolved upon doing what these young ladies of Warsaw propose, and the only novelty in the ease is a code of action put in writing to which all the young ladies formally subscribe. They are in earnest and are now in the market for sensible young men, though of course they do not say so. What are the young men going to do about it?

It is well enough to admit occasionally that the sins of the weaker sex are too frequently upon the heads of the sterner, and here is a good opportunity for the admission. The Warsaw young men, if they select these thirty-one wise virgins, will do an excellent thing, but probably the Warsaw young men will bolt, not' reflecting that in a few years they will think more pf good dinners and an economical household than of their wives’ looks. Should the boys do the wise thing they will deserve well of the country. To encourage economical girls is the acme of true patriotism. — St. Louis Republican. The fight over the will of Capt. E. B. Ward, of Detroit, waxes strong in the court. His elder children now claim that the Captain never signed the will and codicils, and that the old gentleman was crazy. Here is comfort for the money-getter, and knowledge that what he may make #hen alive will be scattered in the courts when he is dead. Moral —When you die will your property directly to the lawyers. It is suggested that for purposes of identification of criminals it is only necessary to get a distinct photograph of the palm' of one hand, taken in a strong oblique light, so as to bring out the markings strongly. This will be found a map, it is said, never alike in two persons; no disguise short of actual disfig. urement will do away with the difference. •
