When two Chinamen were brought up in a New York court on a charge of keeping an opium joint, the other day, they put in the unique plea that Chinamen looked upon opium smoking as no more hurtful to them than many Americans deemed the tobacco chewing habit. Both hadits,it wile admitted were unhealthy and dis- s tasteful to refined people,and"the •,ne should not be allowed if the other were not. The magistrate refused to discuss the relative merits of the habits, but put the law as to opium dens in force, fining the two Mongolians $25 each. IN PLAIN ENGLISH-.

Children Cry for Pitcher's Caetorl*. WAYS OF WOMEN FAIR, FADS, FANCIES AND FASHIONS OF THE GENTLER SEX. The Progress Women Are xlakiug In Vari- ous Fields of Useful and Artistic Labor —What the Human Butterflies are Busy About. A good wife must have mental attractive- ness. I do not say that she must be well versedin classic lore and polite literature, but she must have that common intelligence, at for every day use, which is absolutely essen- tial to make her intercourse with society pleas- ing to herself and agreeable to others. And © the girl who is ige.orant in these days generally has but two excuses for her ignorance: she was either lazy or crazy after the boys. A good wife must at least know enough of physiology to appreciate the impor- tance of cleanliness of person and in the house. A carelessly dressed, slatternly and untidy woman cannot long keep her place on the throne of her husband's life. From a lazy, slovenly woman inay heaven deliver youl The devil tempts everybody, but a slovenly woman tempts the devil. Young man, look out where you are going! 4 lazy girl will make a lazy wife, just as sure as a crooked sapling will make a crooked tree. A good wife should know enough of arithmetic to check the accounts of merchants and market - men, and reckon the amount saved by pay- ing cash. The reason why so many people get along so miserably in life is because they have no knowledge of arithmetic. Walking skirts are growing longer and tighter, and by the time the hawthorn buds are beginning to ope we shall have bolster effects ou the promenade. All the ladies of elegance and wealth have silk for the foun- dation of their dresses, and after that comes linen or Silesia lining. Print and talk t� the contrary, skirts are not faced' with leather, rubber or even canvas. A soft stuff instead is used as a finish to cover the cotton facing, and when this or the braid gets shabby the skirt is sent to the maid or to the shop for re- pairs. Elastic is still used to hold the fulness in the back. Darts are put in the lining only, and the goods proper is cut on the bias, and then pressed in shape tailor fashion. There is good in everything, even the tight trailing dress which in its present form re- lieves woman of the weight of cloth under which she hitherto bent and struggled. Susan Helen Holman, a New York woman of vim and enterprise, is learning to be a locksmith. She amuses herself picking the locks of her neighbors' front doors, trunks and chests, and one of these days expects to hire an uptown basement and make a for- tune at the business. She wears a suit of brown homespun copiously pocketed for the reception of her tools, and from an old Dutch girdle of wrought iron studded with green stones hangs a ohatelain and keys of all sizes. Mme. Von Teuffel, nee Blanche Willis Howard, is still living in Stuttgart, writing busily, in;the hope of producing some work that will second the famous little " Que Summer." Dr. Von Teuffel recently said to a friend that "it would be a blot on his 'seutcheon if her marriage should paralyze her literary faculties." But for all that. Blanche Howard wrote for money, and wo- men the world over have been happy to have the yoke removed by a husband's love. Miss Virginia Reid was the mother of Am- erican newspaper women. In 1772 she pur- chased and edited a weekly called the Vir- ginia Gazette, a paper devoted to the Coloni- al cause. In 1774 Mrs. 11. Boyle established a rival journal, which she called the Royal News, and the two ladies pulled hair, threw stones and called each other names in the most approved style of Continental journal- ism. Although the severity of the tailor shop is impressed upon the cloth dress, the light- weight silks and all soft and airy materials for tea gowns dancing dresses and reception toilets are as bouffant as Dolly Varden her- self could have desired. Sleeves are gather- ed, puffed and caught up with ribbons, Sowers and ornaments; there are butterflies on one pair of shorflders, humming birds on another and rosettes on a third. EQG$ BY MACHINERY. A Plan to Make Them Better and Clea p- er Than liens Can. As already stated in the Enquirer patents have been granted to James Sterrey of Kan- sas City for the manufacture of eggs. All the necessary machinery, which is not worth more than $500 at the outside, is in readiness to begin this overwhelming com- petition with the American hen. 1f as much success attends the new venture as is antici- pated by Mr. Storrey, the contest between the machine and the hen for supremacy in the ,egg -producing bfisiness will be short, with the victory to the credit of the former. Mr. Storrey's process is very simple, and yet he is prepared to manufacture an arti- ficial egg that a connoisseur will find it diffi- cult to distinguish either in appearance or taste from the prime product of a Plymouth Rock or Leghorn. Lime, water, blood, milk, tallow, peas and one or two other vegetables are the ingredi- ents of his compound. The shell and the yolk will not be difficult to manufacture. To make a good imitation of the "white" of the egg Is the part that has required the most in- genuity to conquer, but Mr. Storrey has suc- ceeded in solving the problem successfully. The yolk of ati egg is composed of 30 per cent. of yellow fat, 14 per cent. of casein, about 3 per cent. albumen and water. The fat is common animal fat, and beef fat, which is very cheap, will be the chief in- gredient. To this a liberal amount of cas- ein, which is that portion of the milk which produces butter and cheese, will be added, and albumen mainly from beef blood, togeth- er with water, will be mixed in small quan- tities. The color, already a yellow, will be treated with a chemical which will serve a double purpose of deepening the valor and preserving the mixture in a semi-liquid state until it Is cooked. The "white" of the egg is about one- eighth pure albumen, aid is a difficult sub- stance to produce chemically. A substance that appears to the eye exactly similar, and which hardens and whitens when cooked, has been produced by a mixture of legumin, or vegetable albumen, extracted from com- mon peas, and which forms one-fourth of the peas, a little albumen from beef blood, a trifle of sulphur, considerable gelatin and a chemical solution to prevent rapid decompo- sition, and which also whitens the whole bulk when subjected to heat, just as the egg be- coines white when boiled. As beef blood will be utilized in very large quantities in the big egg mill, a. few special cars will be fitted up with tanks to bring the blood from the Chicago slaughter houses. The shell will be perfectly imitated by a simple solution of lime, water and glue. The machinery that is required is needed mainly in putting the egg together. Every yolk will be first run into a mold to be properly shaped, and then dumped into a second mold, where the right quantity of the white is placed previously. This latter substance, be- ing a gelatine -like matter, will incase the yolk very readily. By a unique machine the meat is there enveloped in the shell. The shell is only partially hardened when the egg is put into it, and as there is a liberal amount of glue added to the lime, the' edges of the, shell soon adhere to each other very tightly, leaving no traceable mark where they were joined. In order to make the imi- tation'tnore completely successful, molds of several sizes will be introit wet I. making the eggs vary in bulk as do the products of any respectable tioc•k of hens. The color of the shell will also be of two or three shades, ren- dering the likeness to the original still more strlkiug. Tests have been made which show that the artificial egg eau he preserved for a )south under proper conditions, and still taste as fresh a. one laid by an ordinary hen. As all the ingredients of this reform egg are exceedingly cheap, it tau be manufactured •, at the rate of dbout three rents a dozen. There will be no limit to the capacity of the novel mill, and families and boarding- house keepers can be supplied in any quanti- ties at prices so dazzlingly small as to war- rant immediate popularity.—Cincinnati En- quirer.

Poets and novelists go into ecstasies over what they romantically call "beautiful spring," and "gentle aping," and while, no bonbt, every one is glad to see winter release its icy grasp, "heedful spring" is, after all, one of the most deadly seasons of the year. Sadden transitions from -warmth to extreme cold, with piercing chilling winds; from dry to sloppy, "muggy" weather, all combine to make the sea. son a most trying one, even to the hardest constitution, while to those with weak constitutions the season is one of positive danger. Undoubtedly the greatest danger at this season of the year is from cold in the head,whioh very few escape, and which if not promptly and thoroughly treated, de- i velopes into catarrh, with all its dis- agreeable and lothsome effects. Ca- tarrh, r.eglected, almost as certainly developes into consumption, annually destroying thousands of lives. At this trying season no household should be without a bottle of Nasal Balm. In cases of cold in the head it gives almost instant relief and effects a speedy cure thus preventing the development of catarrh. Where the latter disease has already secured a hold it is equally efficacious, and with presietent use will cure the worst case. From the outset it sweetens the breath, stops the nause- ous droppings into the throat and lungs, dispels those dull headaches that afflict the sufferer from catarrh. Nasal Balm is not advertised as a cure-all—it is an honest remedy which never fails to cure cold in the head or catarrh when the directions are faithfully followed, and thousands throughout the country have reason to bless its discovery. Nasal Balm may be had from all dealers (50 cents, small, or $1 large size bottle) by addressing Fulford & Co., Brockville, Ont. lm 11095 66 637 90 607 12 1245 02 1500 00 815 25 1369 90 $7270 85 $4095 28 79 61 90 59 1623 39 1381 98 117270 85 AUSTRACT STATEMENT Of Financial Account of the Treasurer of the Public School Board for the year 1890 , Jan 1, balance on hand School rates, non-resident Legislative grant Town Grant Government grant—Model School Fees from Model School Students PAYMENTS Teacher's Salaries Other officers Repairs Maps and Apparatus Other expenses, $81.3.4; Fuel $109.30 Balance $ 170 62 2200 346 00 3100 00 150 00 145 00 113933 62 113059 45 315 00 207 61 15 05 190 64 145 87 113933 62 LIABILITIES London, Iluron .t Bruce Railway Debentures..' • Fire and Water Debentures $16500 00 6000 00 High School Debentures 9500 00 1000 00 Public School Debentures Cash on hand Public School Debentures High School Debentures Sinking Fund in Bank Taxes uncollected ASSETS 1133000 00 $1307 91 1000 00 2500 00 1827 95 4049 73 $10685 62 We, the undersigned auditors for the Town of Clinton, having exam- ined the books of accounts and vouchers of the corporation for the year ending Dec, 31, 1890, found the same correct and in accordance with the foregoing Statement and Abstract.
