It has suc- coeded this time, and there is no reason why the operation cannot be repeated again and again unless the policy of the Government changes. Bo long as the purchase of gold to @intain the reserve was apparently @ue solely to needs arising from the ‘natural demands of commerce and trade public sentiment, jealous of tho slightest Slur upon the National credit, justified » the action of the Treasury Department, costly as it was. But it was now evident that the men for whose benefit these gold purchases were made, the bankers and financiers, who would have been the first sufferers from a money panic, have deliberately Fewarted the Government's solicitude by combining to rob it. A new departure is therefore neces- f@ary.

Mr. Hoffman, of New York, has tn troduced in the Assembly a bill amend- ing ection 265 of the Penal Code so as to allow Sunday billiard playing In the metropolis, It is couched in these words: We shall be lawful In cities having a population of $00,000 or more for any person or permona (ex- cept minora unter wie age o vow! tenping, play a Kame or &: ball pool, of bililanda, on the first day of the week. It 1s to be curnestly desired that no Such measure shall be placed upon the statute booky of the State, It would form a@ piece of special legislation of a pecullarly iMoxical nature. Bither the New York Sunday observance laws as they stand are right or they are wrong in their application to the whole State. ‘They cannot be made right for one com- munity, of for two communities, and wrong for the reat. To attempt to make them s0 would be to bring about confu- sion of the worst sort, by means of patchwork legislation. ‘The popular feeling that the present Sunday statutes are too much of the old blue-law stamp is undoubtedly stronger in New York and Brooklyn than in the smaller and less cosmopoll- tan cities of the State, but it is by no means confined to those places, nor 1s it without exister:e In the strict coun- try districta. It 14 a feeling that hae grown and will grow, and must some ay be recognized and met by the law- makers, But the way to meet it is not by patching up the statutes, but by repealing and simplifying the laws so that they shall apply to and regulate matters only within their natural, loxi- cal and democratio provinces, When the laws of the Btate are so simplified, they will no longer undertake to prescribe for free citizens how Sunday, or Mon- day, or any other day of the woek shall be spent. ing? A JUST MEASURE. Genator Ahearn has introduced a bill requiring the Trustees of the Fireman's Relief Fund to pay a pension of $1,000 to the widow of any fireman killed in the discharge of his duty, and #00 a year to any orphan child or children he may leave, ‘The bill ought to go through. An ob- Jection 1s made on account of the heavy charge It would be on the fund, Such an objection only proves the necessity for the law. If, an allegod, the expense would be heavy, then such deaths must be numerous, and It Is the more desira- ble to provide some relivf for the fam- {Iles of the killed.

I do not eat a hearty dinner before speaking in public; on the contrary, I eat very lightly. After my lecture I do not accept invitations to swell suppers. I go straight to my rooms, take a bath and drink a cup of hot milk and eat a cracker. 1 think if I lived down in New Orleans I would merely eat an orange and a cracker before re- tiring, after a heavy evening’s work. ——=— Another thing, human nature demands Women need at least nine hours’ sleep out of the twenty-four, If you go to bed and wake up in the morning without feel- ing refreshed, then the, human mae chinery is out of gear, and the equille brium must be restored or nervous prow , tration and a general breakdown is the result,” Brolied Rabbit.

It is as perplexing a query as what becomes of all the pins. To Light the Dinner Table. Candelabra are very pretty things if there be any in the family, but they are expensive to buy, and four silver can- dle sticks are on the whole more useful and ornamental. Nowadays there are candles in the market warranted not to drip, and made not wholly of wax, but of some composition which burns bril- Nantly and slowly, They average eight tf the pound, and cost something like 25 or 80 cents @ pound. No light is so satisfactory or 80 becoming as candle- light. Fried Cakes, With One Egs.
