A Happy Now Year may it be to one and all. Psratoloid the new dictionary word for Prof. Koch'* consumption cure.

The State auditor estimates that the Indl na expenditure* will exceed tbe Indiana receipts, for the year 1801, by $757,080 88. X* It not high time to Institute a little economy in the manipulation of State finances?

In Ontario last week the sborlff in charge of a hanging dropped dead half an hour beforn the execution, his death being canned by excitement attending the affair. Thla must have been a great satisfaction to the murderer.

The Czar of Russia's advice to hi* son hefoio starting on his ur, would not fall unwelcomly on the ears of moat young men in similar circumstances. It WHO fur the young man to display the greatest profusion in bis expenditures.

The North American Review will pubHuh, in it* January number, a paper by General Miles on "The buture of tbo Indian Question." Genera! Mile# ser talnly should lie well informed ou the subject, and his opinions will be worthy of deep consideration.

n«rp«t!a W^JUjr Cfeefttas tW«,ff tfolble truth on the Irish skuatiou: -It was possible for no' man to Injure me Irlfch cause no deeply a* I'arnell, and he baa done it thoroughly." It In difficult to understand bow an individual so profeaaedly loyal to hi» countrymen could have the courage to undo the work of a decade, and still lay claim to having the welfare of bin nation at heart.

France Isapocullarcountry, filled with peculiar poo pin who, from an American standpoint of view, do most eccentric things and transact business on most |HK?ullar principles. The following advertisement In a French newspaper Illustrates this "The owner of a lot of 8,000 doxeu collars and cults of line linen, valued at i:i,ooo franc*, would exchange them for a country house in tbe neighborhood of 1'iiri*.

Petitions are being circulated «vei Oklahoma asking Congress to declare their present legislature an illegally organised body.

The following despondent view of political life 1s taken by the Philadelphia Prejis: "The rewards of politics in the Cnlted States grow less and less as the years go on. The average Congressman of to-day Is nothing but the errand boy of bis constituents, and begets paid for bis services a salary which will not enable him to live as well here as he *ives at houie, It takes him about four years to learn hoW to do the business of bis new position, and when be finds things easy foi him, ho wakes up to Icr.rn that his snww)!" has been rlrctetl."

One versatile editor thus soliloquise* on the death of Sitting Hull, and in a very unconscious way gives expression to that double sentiment of pity and hatred with which the Indian is regarded: "Poor old Hitting Bull! He has g«mc to the happy homing ground, 'unwept, unhononxl and unsung.' In tbe land of tbe great spirit I hojw» he will not have todfal with Indian agents and blue ooats.

The last Legislature adopted nine joint resolutions proposing amendments to the constitution. The Legislature this winter will probably endorse them and then tbey will be submitted to tbe people, mo»-t likely at the spring election of 1894. The drat amendment lengthens the term of the county officers to fonr years and makes the office ineligible for tbe second consecutive term, except county surveyors. Tbe third provides for the election of a clerk of the supreme court and limits his term to four years The fourth provides for tbe election of state officers for four yearn' terms and no longer. The fifth provides for the election of state superintendent of pub He instructions for four years and no longer. The sixth provides for Increase of supreme judges and extends their terms to eight years. It also provides for their election at different times so there will never be a complete change in the court. The seventh provides for the organization of tbe militia of the state. Theeigbth provides for indefinite sessions of the legislature and an increase in tbe legislative salaries. Tbe ninth grants permission for all men of good moral character to practice law. Changes in the line of reason are always acceptable.

Geraldines Letter.

MY DEAR RUTH: There are only few people In Terre Haute who appreciate tbe work done by tbe Oratorio society. I care not where one goes, or what chorus he hears, except perhaps in volume of sound, it will bo no better than our own oboriw. Give this society tbe support of a good orchestra, and they will hold their own with the best. In many reapects the rendition of the

Messiah'' o\% Tuesday night was tbe beat tbe society has yet given. Tbe overture was not as well done as the overture tb the "Creation," I do not know what arrangement the piano and organ used, bat I did hot like it. It seemed so incomplete in many places The cborua made'up for every other de•teiaai^y. Tbytooor»4 The soprauoes were *perfeet in every thing except volume of aound. Mrs. Gould was In tbe chorus so there was nothing to be feared for the hi toes, and the bass always does well. Tbe gem of the whole oratorio to me is the little solo, "Behold, and see If there beany sorrow, like unto bis sorrow." Perhups It is because Dan Iavls invests it with the indescribable tenderness which is in his voice. What did it matter if the soprano soloists failed? He was there to take their parts. With no practioe whatever, he stood up and sang tho recitative# "And there were Shepherds, etc.," and the solo "How beautiful are the feel," to tbe perfect satisfaction of the audience. We were disappointed that he did not attempt "1 know that my Redeemer llveth." "Ho was Despised," Is forever associated in my mind with Mrs. Gould. I shall never boar it anywhere, but I shall think of her. Miss Bell sang "Ho shall feed his tlock" very sweetly. Mr. Alder sang "And the trumpet shall sound." as very few can sing It. It was the opinion of his friends that he never sang a* we!!. The Hallelujah chorus was grand, indeed .ill rSie choruses were grandly sung, '.ml the Omtorio soietv is something Term? Haute should be proud of.

The recepti 'ii given by Mrs. Dr. Young on Wednesday arternoon was a very elegant aifair. The hou«-e was brilliantly illuminated and the Ringgold orchestra stationed in tbe hall played delightfully throughout the afternoon and made an attractive feature. The rooms were all handsomely decorated. In the back parlor over the piano, hung a scarlet satin quilt, covered with exquisite .fapnne«se embroidery in white and pale gray shades. This made a most charming effect of color, and also made an effective back ground for the palms, the large handsome puneh bowl of old India china, on standard of carved teak wood, and the incense jar of Royal ftatsuma, which stood upon the piano. These are rare specimens of their kind, and area part of the fine collection made ty Or. Young's brother, the late Commodore Young. Between the hall and the dining room bung the superb curtain brought from Rgypt by Mr. and Mrs. Francis Hord, and which once hung in a Turkish mosqne. The back ground of the curtain is red, and it is covered in arahe^ne designs, with solid gold embroidery. All work don* by the Turks la in this design, for Mohamet forbade ht* foUowers to imitate any animal or insert

Mrs. Young wore a handsome black lace, and Mrs. Hord a blue and white striped silk trimmed In white crepe de chine. Mi I

About a week ago a large nrtuiber of boys and girls received a dainty little envelope, containing a dainty sheet of paper, in which was written, "Sophie Wheeler requests the pleasure of yonr company Wednesday, December 24lb, from four to eighi." Promptly at 4 o'clock tbey were there, all of tbem, and the party began. Tbey played games until about six, when supper was served. After supper they were taken to the drawing room, where a new pleasure was in store for them In the shape of a brilliantly lighted and beautifully decorated Christmas tree. The presents were distributed by Master Deming and Miss Sophie Wheeler, and each child received several pretty things which delighted them greatly.

The Christmas time was saddened by the death of Mr. James C. McGregor. Those who knew him well feel that they have sustained a personal loss. I do not know any one,to whom could be applied more fitly "tbe grand old name of gen* tleman." It was not the veneer of 60ciety, not a manner assumed for the occasion, bat a courtesy springing from a bea-t whose every instinct was kindliness and courteousness. He was loyal to his friends, appreciative of airthey did, he had a kind and encouraging word for eyery one, tastes as refined as a woman's, a lover of books, of nature, of poetry, of everything beautiful, and a character which was spotless. When I heard of tbe sad accident which ended his life, there came into my mind a verse I have so often heard him repeat:

"Turn, turn my wheel 1 All life Is brief What now ts Bud will soon be leaf. What now is leaf wills on decay:

The wind blows must, the wind blows west The blue eggs In the robin's nest, Will soon have wings and beak and breast, And duller and fly away."

DO CHILDREN PA Y&

Does a two-year old baby pay for itself up to the time it reaches tbe in terestlng age? Sometimes I think not. I thought so yesterd when my own baby slipped Into my study and scrubbed the carpet and his best white dress with my bottle of ink. He was playing in the coal-hod ten minutes after a clean dress was put on him, and later in the day he pasted fifty cents worth of postage stamps on the parlor wall, and poured a dollar's worth of tho choicest white rose perfume oat of the window, "to see It wain."

Then he dug the centre of a nicely baked loaf of cake, and was found in the middle of the dinning room table, with tbe sugar bowl between his legpr, and most of tbe contents In bis stomach.

He has cost more than flOO In doctor's bills, and I feel that I am right in attributing my few gray hairs to: the misery I endured while walking the floor with him at night during the first year of his life.

Wbat has he ever done to pay me for that? Ah! I bear bis little feet pattering along out in the hall. I bear bis little ripple of laughter because he has es ceped from his mother, and has found his way up to my study at a forbidden hour. But tbe door is closed. The worthless little vagabond can't get in, nd I won't open It for him. No, won't. I can't be disturbed when I'm writing.

Light Housekeeping.

jSOW SOME NEW YORKERS LIVE—SUCH A LIFE NOT BAD FOR YOUNG MARRIED FOLKS.

Light housekeeping has become al albst a scandalous term, because of its fcbuse here and elsewhere, but, nevertheless, there is a great deal of suoh ^housekeeping in New York that is emi ^ntly respectable. Sometl mes the part Ifftti are man aud wife sometimes they ||e bachelors, and sometimes, though lore rarely perhaps, young women en ged, as the ceoaus says, in "gainful upations '—dressmaking, shop-tend-literary work, or what not. Most ilies of this sort breakfast at hotne dine at restuarants. Nobody be eves, of course, tbat dining at restua

Is any cheaper thau dining al tne. In fact, It is vastly dearer, untbe restaurants be of tbe 15 cents 1 variety. But light housekeopiug ipenses with maid servant, hospitality a good deal of rent. It is peculiarly ill suited to those families of two in luh both husband and wifo help to a living. As the wife is oat all day* qannot attend to household duties 1 very exacting character, and as ptoomy is the object, the family can, $ employ a maid servant. twpjrooms, or at farthest three, are »gae stove is used only for an hour in the morning the "house" is heated by steam, shared In common with other tenants, and thus what is lost in the cost of restaurant dinners is saved in rent, fuel aud wages. Unfurnisbedapartments of two or three rooms in re»pecta ble parts of the city may be rented at from |S to 925 a month. If a young couple chooses to occupy apartments in one of tbe great sanitary tenements put ap for the respectable poor, the rent will fail considerably below tbe smaller Of these figures. The cost of breaK fasts is a mere trifle, and really poor folk, that are willing to put up with such an apology for a home, may live almost as cheaply in tbe "heart of New York as in the country. A clever woman can make even such quarters as these cosy and at tractive, and the possibility of such mode of life has hastened many a marriage.

Bachelors living in this fashion manage very comfortably, though, of course, at greater expense, becanse few men are content to get their own breakfasts and attend to their own apartments. Tbe homeless habit prevents most bachelor housekeeping from going beyond the "light" stage, though when once a maid servant becomes a necessity. It is cheaper to have all meals prepared at home. Few young men, however, are content to forgo the glitter and hum of thecbearful restaurant, with its motley company and varied bills of fare. Better and more wholesome dinners could be prepared at home for less than half the money, but tbo charm of contact with the world is lost and there Is always tbe danger that tho absense of one partner may leave the other to dine alone.

Women seem to find it difficult to keep house together. Perhaps they are less adaptable than men, or perhaps the strain of constant contact, from which men may escape by going out into the world, makes friction Inevitable. At any rate, there are thousands of women living lonely lives ia boarding house®, when "all the comforts of a home" are within their reach if only they choose to form a housekeeping partnership. The dreariness of boarding-house life for women Is a thing that men would not endure. In some of tbe poorer, bat stilt respectable, boarding booses the parlor is rented to a physician, so tbat there is no common room whsre longer* may receive visitors. All the ugliness of human life shows itself at soeb places, ye* women of delkmie seusiblMttas endure ft, because they f*ncy that tbey ooald not undertake the task of housekeeping with other women.

M2

don't

know any girl with whom I'd dare try such an experiment," said an art student, when this Idea was suggested to her Another woman, who had established a litUehomeof her own, confessed that she was very well pleased that a friend living In tike manner as mot' taken spsrt£s$ats In the vt,1, "V & \v •. -N

same house. For the $5, $6 or $S a week tbat each of four women pays for the discomforts of a boarding house, all could have a cosy little home in common. But in this whole city there are probably only a few scores such homes.

Some charitable women in Brooklyn discovered that nearly a dozen shopgirls were lodging in one moderate-sised room, where they prepared their breakfasts In the morning and sat at night unless the streets proved more attractive. Such women earn from $3 to 97 a week. They mast present a decent appearance but it .has beea discovered that in the case of tbe poorest the one visible garment is almost the only scrap of clothing they possess. For the most part, these girls havealmost noskiil as needlewomen and little knowledge of the housekeeping art. They simply mapnge to exist, and that by constant hard work and rigid, if not always intelligent, economy. It is a cherished plan of UK Young Women's Christian Association of Brooklyn to build a large lodging bouse, where these women may live and carry on a species of light housekeeping The price of lodging will be placed within the reach of the poorest girls, but each will pay something for the comforts she receives. At the same tinte the association's classes in needlework and general domestic economy will give the girls an opportunity to learn the arts necessary to the maintaining of a home. It is said that already the instruction imparted in tbe classes of this association has promoted many marriages Light housekeeping for single women ought also to be promotive of malri mony.

Light housekeepicg in New York as eumes manv curious forms. The city is so large that there is room for an indul geuce of all sorts of tastes. There are families that never meet except at din ner. There are others that are together only at breakfast. Thero are probably very few, rich or poor, that take three meals per day together. One anxious woman ts the entbusiasMo advocate of cooking in common, or, more broadly cooperative housekeeping. Ail sorts of iugenlous devices have been invented for promoting this idea, and then when nothing else is possible there is Edward Atkinson's economical cooker, tho contrivance with which the statistician expects to help solve the prottem of povS^tufa. 6'A UCK FROM OTHbR SANCTUMS
