So far California takes the lead. It is recorded that a mer chant in Los Angelos observed a news boy peering down into the grating in the sidewalk in front of his store one afternoon recently, and upon inquiry leatned that the little chap had dropped a quarter into the place and was study ing upon the best means of recovering his wealth. The merchant one of his clerks sent downintothe cellarrecovered the coin and very coolly put it into his till. A police-officer investigated the matter, and gave the boy twenty-five cents to replace the coin of which lie had been pluadered. A Distinguishoe Old Lady. Mrs. Polk, the widow of James K.

A wooden bridge has been built in place of the iron death-trap which re cently went down in the suburbs of Boston. Who is there to prove that after all wooden railroad bridges [are not better 'than those built of iron ? No one has ever beard of a wooden structure eoing down because of its sudden contraction by cold or expansion by heat. Wood goes to decay, but it does not crystalize or rust out. A blow delivered by a broken shaft or locomo tive driver which will crack and possi bly destroy a bridge constructed of iron will not in any way cripple a good bridge made up of wood and bolts. Iron bridges have not been used long enough to be anything more than an experi ment. The experiment, has not yet proved entirely satisfactory. A Sumptuous Smoking-Room. A Russian' millionaire has recently bad built for him at St. Petersburg a most flumptuou3 smosing room, which is the astonishment of all the northern capital. Its richness consists not so much io its furniture, which is a mod el of simplicity, but in its walls. These are literally lined with European bank notes. Instead of the mass of white ceiling which forms the despera tion of disciples of William Morris, is seen a profusion of Austrian notes most artistically grouped round a 10 florin bank note. Charming designs composed of Freneh, English, Italian and Russian bank notes adorn the walls. The curious room has received many famous visitors from all points of the compass. Among others a celebra ted Hungarian painter was introduced. He glanced up at the million aire and said with a smile : "Sir, it is a pity you have already thus disposed of your money, for the same amount I would willingly have decorated your walls, perhaps more artistically,indeed than is now the case—by covering them with paintings, even as Michael Angelo did for his Holiness, Pope Ju lius II." IF I wanted to get good, square j udgement on something I had done, I had rather go to a newspaper olfice for it than any other court of j rstice. I know the justice of journals, their in tegrity and their purity of motives. I know that they probe into men's char acters. No man whose character is pure need fear all the press in America. The way to be safe from so-called news paper attacks is to be a Christian. The reporters are the best detectiye force in this country. They have brought more criminals to justice and punctured more shams than all agencies combined. Rev. Sam Jones. Bleeding at the Noes. To prevent it keep erect. Apply cold water to the neck.

Sour Grapes. A Geld hand cue day found in his trap a.nioe plump rabbit. He took liim out alive, held hiin under his arm, pat ted him, and began to speculate on his qualities. "Oh, how fat ! berry fat ! tho fattest I eber did see ! Let me see how I'll cook him; I broil him ! No, lie so fat he lose all de giease. 1 fry him. Ah, yes !he so berry fat he fry himself. How fat he be ! No, I won't fry him, I stew him !" The thought of the savory stew made the negro forget himself; and in spread - ing out the feast in his imagination, his arms relaxed, when suddenly off hopped the rabbit, and, squattering at a goodly distance away, be eyed his late owner with cool composure. The negro knew, of course, that there was an end of the stew; and, therefore, summoning up all his philosophy, he thus addressed the ranbit, as he shook his fist at him: "You long eaied, white-whiskered rascal you not so ber ryfat, after all!" Youth's Companion. Chickens Artificially Raised. 'For my part I don't see why Dr. Ed son seizes all the bob veal and loaves all the spring chickens," said a veal dealer who had just lost a morning's profit through the visit of a lynx-eyed inspec tor. "Why do you class the two togeth er ?" inquired the reporter. "Because one is just as immature as the other, and if young veal is unfit for food so are young chickens. Take for instance the eggs hatched by incuba tors. Any poultry expert will tell you that the flesh of the artificially hatched chicken is as insipid as a snowball, and yet people arc willing to pay $3 a pair for them. The incubator folly is, how ever, less prevalent than it was a few years ago, and fewer people are ruined. It is fair to say that eacli year, for the past ten years,sl 000,000 have been lost by persons who believed that there was a fortune in hatching eggs with the aid of kerosene oil. "Ten years ago a gentleman of this city bought a farm up the Hudson and spared no expense in attempting to make it a success of artificial chicken raising. He sunk $-30,000 in the enter prise and gave it up as a failure. Last year a prominent type foundry-man of this city became infatuated with the in cubator craze, sold his snug home in Ilarltm, bought a place out near Pater son, N. J., and witli his family started to hatch chickens with the aid of an in cubator. The incubator cost S2OO. lie spent $2-3 in kerosene oil, $22 in eggs, and hatched out two dozen chickens. Seventeen of tliera died with the pip. Ilis family became disgusted and left him on the farm with the incubator,the pig and a cow. He couldn't milk the cow nor cook a meal, and when he wrote to the incubator people asking them to take the machine back they of fered him sls for it. An old hen,aided by nature and warm weather, will knock out the incuoator in short order and besides the chickens will live and have some flavor to them." —First-class job work done at the JOURNAL office. TIIK. LVTK l) 0( I'Olt .1. G. inn.- LAND'S OPINION. A IMI.VMICIMII ('limiting I IK* Editorial Slulrs. Tlio columns of the newspapers ap pear 10 be flooded with proprietary med icine ndvertisemonts. As we e::st our eye over them, it brings to mind an ar ticle that was published by the late l>r. Holland in Scr tier's Monthly. He says: "Nevertheless, it is a fact that many of the best proprietary medicines of the day were more successful than many physicians, and most of them, it should bo remembered,were at first dis covered or used in actual medical prac tice. When, however, any shrewd per son, knowing their virtue, and foresee ing their popularity, secures ami advis es them, then, in the opinion of the bi goted, all virtue went out of them." Is not this absurd V This great man appreciated the real merits of popular remedies, and the absurdity of those that derided them because public atten tion was called to the article and the evidence of their cur-s. If the most noted physician should 'announce that he had made a study of any certain or gan or disease of tlre body, or make his sign larger than the code size, though he may have practiced medicine and been a leader in all medical counsels, notwithstanding all this, if he should presume to advertise and decline to give his discovery to the public, he would be pronounced a quack and a humbucr, although he may have spent his entire life and all his available funds in perfecting his investigation. Again we sav, "absurd." If an ulcer is found upon one's arm. and is cured bv some dear soul of a grandmother, outside of the code, it will be pronounced by the medical pro fession an ulcer of little importance. Hut if treated under the code, causing sleepless nights for a month, with the scientific treat meet, viz., plasters, wash es, dosing with morphine, arsenic and other vile substances, given to prevent blood poisoning or deaden pain, and yet the ulcer becomes malignant, and am putation is made necessary at last, to save life, yet all dour according to the "isms" of the medical code, this is much more gratifying to the medical profession, and adds more dignity to that distinguished order than to l>e cur ed by the dear old grandmother's rem edy. This appears like a severe arraign ment, yet we believe that it expresses the true standing of the medical pro fession in regard to remedies discovered outside of their special "isms." One of the must perplexing things of the day is the populatity of certain reme dies, especially Warner's safe cure, which we find for sale everywhere. The physician of the highest standing is ready to concede its merits and sustain the theories the proprietors have made —that is, (hat it Wait tits in most of the ailments of the human system, because it assists in puttingtho kidneys in prop er condition, thereby aiding in throw ing off the impurities of the blood,while others with less honesty and experience deride, and are willing to see their pa tient die scientifically,and according to the code, rather than have him cured by this great remedy. Yet we notice thai the popularity of the medicine continues to grow vear by year. The discoverer conies boldly before the peo ple with its merits, and proclaims them from door to door in our opinion much more honorably than the physician who, perchance, may secure a patient from some catastrophe, and is permitted to set a bone of an arm or a linger, which he does with great dignity, yet v ry soon after takes the liberty to climb tin editor's back stairs at - o'clock in the morning to have it announced in the j morning paper that "Dr. So-and-so was in attendance," and thus secures for his benefit a beautiful and free adver tisement. We shall leave it to our j readers to say which is the wisest and most honorable. lit- Could Slug. Several years ago on one of our north-' ern bays, when, as yet, steamers were j infrequent visitors, a certain small boat j used to ply, touching at various points, according as its freight or the weather demanded. The crew was somewhat limited, con sisting of the captain, the first mate, j whose name was Barnabas, and cook, ! John, who, when stress of work requir ed, also acted as second mate. John was an excellent cook and a fairly good sailor,but was aftlicted with an impediment in his speech which j made liiin somewhat backward in ex pressing himself,'and was especially an noying, if, for any reason, ho becomes excited. At such times the more lie : wanted to say something the less lie was able to say it. Fortunately, bow ever, he could sing as straight as any one. One day the Captain was below tak ing a nap, while Barnabas and John were running the boat. A sudden squall happened to come up, and a puff of wind brought the boom around with such unexpected violence as to knock the unwary Barnabas overboard. Thereupon John rushed into the cabin in the wildest excitement to inform the Captain of what had occurred, but, as usual, lie was unable to get out a co herent sentence. "B— b—b—b—" he stuttered, until the Captain, in a rage, shouted : "Thunderation ! man, sing it if you can't say it," and John,catching at the happy suggestion, sang : ' Overboard is Barnabas, Half a'mile astern of us." The boat was immediately put about and the luckless Barnabas recovered. — Detroit Free Press. A Bet Kasily Won.

Men coming from prison would soon learn to have eonti denee in the society, and would lie con* vincetl that thev coukl trust it, and j that people merely for t lie sake of curi osity could not ascertain anything in ■ regard to tlieoi. Of course there would b 1 ci iminals w ho would endeavor to im- I pose on tlie society and try to use it f< r the purpose of [iiompting some ef their ! schemes, but 1 venture to say that the number would be very few. The s< ci ety should also make it a rule that where an effort had been made to re form a man, and lie had intentionally ! and willfully deceived the society and Mill pursued a life of crime,the society's course would be to give information to the police which would enable tin in to follow the man and uause liiin to again be stopped in his criminal career. There are already "prison aid societies." No doubt they are ot coi siderahle benefit, but their means are not sullicient to < li able them to be of a great deal of ser vice, and men wh > have been criminals and to whom 1 iia\e talked in regard to reforming, have expressed to me their lack of coiili lencc in them. The invar iable conclusion reached has been that the principal thing that is given by them is advice and veiy little a>M>t ance. It is juM possible that this arise from lack of funds. If a society of this ki..d were organized of course it would be necessary to ket pa complete record of all those who had 1 e< n assist ed, and the employment they tj.nl been put at. It would also be nec 'ssary for the agents of the society to keep a look out for tin* welfare of these men, and to see how they wa re getting along. The books and records of the society should of course be considered secret, and no information should be given from the same unless the society's agent were thoroughly convinced that it was for the purpose of aiding the ends of jus tice. Whenever a complaint was made about any one who had been a criminal that lie was being persecuted by pul.ee officials or others, the society should at once take steps to put a slop to such persecution. A man who has b -en known as a pro fessional'criminal, starting out to re form, has an almost impossible t isk to accomplish, and although a number have succeeded, very many have be-n forced back from their good resoluth n by persecution on the part of police of ficials and those who have know them in their criminal career.— l!ohcrt A.

The Pennsylvania Prison .Society (late the Philadelphia Society for Alleviating tho Miseries of Public Prisons) cele brates its Centennial Anniversary in Philadelphia, this week, May 3, 1 and 5. Meetings are to be held each day, front 3to 5 and S to 10 o'clock, p.m. Ad dresses will be delivered by distinguish ed penologists of tins and ot her coun tries. The mornings will be devoted lo visiting the Eastern Penitential y, County Prison, House of Kefuge,House of Correction, Station Houses, o!e. The Governor of the State is ex peel d to welcome the delegates and guests. The Mayor of the city will make an address of welcome. The officers of the State, the Legislature, Judges of the Courts, and ot tiers are invited. This is perhaps tho oldest society of the kind, having been organized May s, stitution, minute book, and roll. There were present at the first meeting thirty one gentlemen, and these with many others are recorded as the original sign ers of the constitution. Their names are recognized as those of the men "who gave character and prosperity to the city," such as Benjamin Rush, lit. Rev. William White, Benjamin Frank lin, and others honored in the history of the city and the State. It stated that in its earliest days tho founders of this Society would take discharged prisoners into their own homes, and shelter and provide for them. To this davit continues to care for the same class in methods similar to those of our own New Yoik Prison Association. These associations, in the rescue of a single criminal, often save the State thousands of dollars, which would have been expended for his re-trial and re-in carceration.— New York: Observer.

That tolerat" i adulterations'of goods, admix tures of poor materials and good and runs its risks, it' needs be, of being found out. If anyone in business wants to get llriuly rooted in the esteem of those lie deals with, lie must be ready to go a step farther —be sponsor for what he 'sells out-and-out, or ready to make it good. Confidence is sure to follow sueli a course.
