THE PILGRIM OF LOVE.
I new love sleeping where the wild bees feed.
Close, close 1 drew to grasp—cue empty air;
His shadow fiitted o’er' the dewy mead,
I looked, and only saw a swallow there.
Love whispered to me once, beside the sea,
So tender sweet his accents to mine car
My heart stood still to listen—then, ah moi
Only the waves‘ low plashing could I hear.
One passed me, singing, in the woodland green—
Such wild, glad notes ne‘er chanted mortal bird;
Long, long I tracked the minstrelsy unseen
In vain—then knew I it was love I heard.
Love wrapped me to his heart, one balmy night—
Thnt soft caress awoke such joy supreme,
My soul brimmed over with her new delight;
But morning broke, it was but a dream.
50 Love I follow—all the wide world through—
His pilgrim, though but these of him I hold— '
A dream, a song, a whisper—yet, ‘tis two
Who follows on shall yet his face behold.
—Augusta Clinton Winthrop.
GRANDPA’S Snorer.
“So it seems Fred Hayes has finally jilted
Fanny Howe,” said Grandpa West, one
rainy morning, ashe stood shaking OR the
drops from his great coat on our kitchen
stow” ‘
“Yes," replied I, as I filled a pan with up.
plan and prepared to cut them, “and more
shame to him, too. Brought her clear up to
an engagement, and then left town with
another girl, and without one word to Fun."
“Shame!” repeated good Grandpa West,
with an indignant flash from eyes blue and
clear as at 21; “it’s a disgrace to any Chris-
tian church to let one of its members go on
so. Time was when he wouldn’t have gone
scott free as he has now." .
“But what could have been donei"I in-
quired.
“Done? He’d have had the full broadside
of church discipline on his shoulders fifty
years ago. He ought to be dealt with as
Harmon Page was,” concluded grandpa,
m'oditatively.
“How was that?” inquired I, interested at
once.
“I wonder if you never heard that story!”
said he, with a curious glance I understood
better afterward. “See here; it's a rainy
day, and mother won’t be expecting me homo.__
Hand over a knife, and I’ll help you with
your apples and tell that yarn at the same
time.”
Well pleased with the plan, I took another
pan, and our fingers flow as grandpa went on
with the true and authentic history of Har-
mon Page. .
“You see,” he began, “all this happened
fifty years ago, and Amityville wasn’t then
the slow going, dull little place it is now. It
was comparatively new, and was as lively
and enterprising as the new places of the
west are to-day. There were a good many
old aristocratic families, though, and I tell
ye they held their heads high. The very
moetin’ house slips had to be gauged accord-
in’ to the rank of the buyer, and I tell you old
Deacon Avery would never have got the
scowl out of his forrard if ’Squire Page had
happened to had a seat in front of his.
“Deacon Avery had a daughter—a quiet,
gentle girl, with a slight, graceful figure and
n face—well, you don’t see such faces now"~
days; a clear, fine complexion, with a deli-
cate pink trembling up into her lips, when
she was spoken to. Her eyes were great lim-
pid wells, changing with every thought, and
her hair was a soft chestnut brown, waving
about her face in its own wayward style.
“She was a lovely girl, became a professor
young, and was always to be seen in the end
of the deacon’s pow every Sunday, rain or
shine. She’d never . had much company, for
there was a kind of dignified reserve about
her that kept the fellows at a distance. But
when she was long 'bout 18 or 20 Harmon
Page began to go with her.
“He was a handsome, high spirited chap,
lively and full of talk, and as different from
Mercy Avery as two persons could well be.
But they loved each other; there’s no doubt
about that. Many’s the time I’ve seen her
grand eyes sparkle and pretty cheeks flush
at Harmon’s witty speeches, till she was really
brilliant. And he, with all his proud spirit,
always grew strangely gentle with Mercy.
“So, in spite of the rivalry that had always
existed between the two families, no one
would have disturbed the two, had it not
been for Virginia Wake. She was a cousin
of Col. Ford’s first wife, mud came there
visitin’ from the south.
“Virginia was called a handsome girl, with
her brunetto face, flashing black eyes, and
heavy black curls she was never tired of
jingling around her neck. She had a good
deal, too, of what you call ‘style,’ and Amity-
villo folks who didn’t know as much of the
ways of the world as they do now were com-
pletely fascinated with her taking ways.
The young fellows in particular hovered
around her like moths around a candle.
"All except Harmon Page. He had on-
gnged himself to Mercy, and at first gave the
new comer to go-by The Pages and Fords
had a family feud of a good many years’
standing, which kept them apart for one
thing, and Virginia had plenty of company
besides Harmon.
"But I suppose Harmon’s indifierenco
piqued the girl, and she nubbed the other
boys and exerted all her charms on Harmon.
“She came in the fall, and along about
Christmas "time, the neighbors began to
notice that Virginia was mighty thick at the
Pages.
“The two houses were pretty near to-
gether, and she used to run over to Mother
Page’s On some excuse or other twenty times
a day. Perhaps ’twa’nt strange that Har‘
mon began to be flattered by it. He had as
good a turn out as any chap in the place, and
he got in the habit of taking Virginia con-
siderable.
“You see position’s everything in more.
cases than one, and Virginia was right there
handy, while Mercy lived at the top of one
of our old fashioned Connecticut hills, with
a dreadful hard road leading to it.
“Whether she knew how much Harmon
was taking the other girl wasn’t known;
some thought not. She didn’t get out much,
except to meetin’ that winter, and she had
enough of her father’s spunk about her not to
let on that she saw Harmon foolin’ with Vir-
ginia Wake at the noonin’s.
“There was splendid sleighing that season
-—the kind we don’t have these day's—and
some of the young folks wanted to have:
general sleigh ride. It was put off fromtimo
to time, till ’twas finally set forjo'ne Thurs-
day night.
“It was the night of the regular weekly
pnyer meeting, and after the time of the
ride was all settled Harmon, who was the
only professor in the party, tried a little to
have it changed. But Virginia Wake de-
clared, with a wicked shake of those jingling
curls, that she could say her prayers just as
well in a sleigh as she could scoped up in that
stupid met a meeting house.
“Everybody thought afterward she fixed
the ride for that night to show Mercy Avery
the wer she had over Harmon Page.
“ ell, the party started from Amityvillc
long about 5 o’clock. They were all in a big
two horse load, except Virginia and Harmon.
“She had arranged for them to go ahead
in his cutter alone, and I’ll admit they
were a splendid looking couple—he, with his
fine eyes and teeth. and she, in a rich crin'e
son hood that set at her dark beauty to perk
fection. _
, “Our route—for I was one of the party-
lay straight up the . hill toward Deacon
Avery's. J net as we turned into it, who.
should we meet but the deacon and Mercy.
“They werolato, for the meeting was alus
appointed for early candle lighting; but
Mercy had probably waited awhile for Hur-
mon, who, for a year back, had taken her to
Thursday meetin’ as regular as the day came
round.
“She sat up straight and queenly, beside
her father as they passed, and seemed not to
hear the malicious sally Virginia called out
to her.
"We, in the back team, were near enough
to catch the scornful glance she throw from
those deep eyes, gray as steel that night.
S‘As for Harmon, he turned white to the

'wsc careless that he drove on a stone wall;
and we, following, were all upset in a heap
together, and had hard work to get tied up
so as to make our way home toward morn-
ing, more dead than alive.
"It was a. sorry day for Harmon Page. He
was waited upon by a church committee,
headed by Deacon Avery, who denounced
his whole conduct toward Mercy as unchriso
tian and highly inconsistent in a church
member.
“He didn’t have much to say for himself,
and they churched him on the spot. He was
pretty down in the month, but kept up some
hope, till he saw Mercy Avery.
“He had refused to see Virginia Wake, and
that night he went up the familiar hill to
Deacon Avery’s stone house.
“Mercy herself came to the door, calm and
self- as if nothing had happened,
and showed him into the sitting room. There
was a steady light in her gray eyes, though,
that made Harmon tremble, and, without
heating about the bush a bit. he came right
tothe point, and asked if all might be for-
given and forgotten, and.’ they become as
good friends as before. He worked himself
into a passion, cried, and took on like a child,
they said.
"But law, it didn’t move her an atom.
She had the genuine old Avery grit, if she
was mild mannered, and she told him that,
as long as the church had put him out, she,
of course, couldn’t in conscience take him
back.
“He pleaded and entrusted until 10 o’clock
at night, a into hour in them days, but it
didn’t make a mite of diaerence. She wouldn’t
overlook what the church had considered a.
gram breach of faith. He went out a crushed
man, and from that time his spirit seemed to
lenvo him utterly.”
“And what about Virginia Wake?” I in-
terrupted, unconsciously cutting my finger
in my eager interest.
“Oh, after the girl had done all the mis-
chief pomible, public opinion toward her
changed ’mnzin’ quick, and she left town in
a few days, and was never heard from in
these parts again.”
'.‘And Harmon Page; what became of
him?”
“He never got over the shock. He became
silent and melancholy, and finally had to be
taken to tho Retreat. He grew worse, and
the sight of a handsome woman with red
cheeks and black curls would always throw
him into his most violent tantrums. He died
in the asylum at last.”
“Now, I think that was real mean,” said I,
wrathfully winding. cotton around my bleed-
ing thumb. “If Mercy Avery hadn't turned
him off, his life might not have ended so
sadly. I think she ought to have taken him
back.”
“Ah, ha ” said Grandpa West, quizzically;
“do you mean that?”
“Certainly,” said I, with dignity, “why
shouldn't 1?”
"Oh, nothing,” he mplied, “only if she
had, Harmon P would have been your
grandfather instead of me.”
“My grandfather—why then,” said I, in
some confusion, “Mercy Avery must be”—
“Mercy West. your grandmother," said
grandpa, chuckling me under my chin.
“Confess now that ‘all’s well that ends well.’ ”
“I suppose so," said I reluctantly—Lizzie

Why the. Letters Newer Came.
If there is any man in the city who is par-
ticularly proud of the Flood building it is
Admiral Cornelius O’Connor. A source of
great satisfaction to this gentleman were the
mailing facilities of the building. It is only
necessary to drop a letter in at the fifth story
when, “in New York style,” as O’Connor
says, “it is taken out at the ground floor by
the carrier." A gentleman in one of the
upper stories is in the habit of mailing checks
to New York every week. Some time ago he
received a telegram from New York asking
why a certain check which ought to have
been mailed four weeks had not arrived.
The local man telegraphed that the check
had been sent as usual, and, fearing that
something was wrong, stopmd payment.
Not long afterward ho was again informed
that the usual chock had not appeared. In
the meantime complaints were getting com-
mon in tho Flood building that letters sent
from there were not delivered.
One day recently the gentlemanly sender
of checks, whose faith in the eighty foot
high mail box had never wavered, dropped
his letters in the mail box, and had the curi-
osity to look into it. To his surprise the box
seemed to be full to the top. Thinking it
strange that so much mail matter should
leave the building in one day, he mentioned
the fact to some of his neighbors, and. an ex-
amination was made of the attenuated pillar
post at each story, and it was found that for
the lower two stories only the box was clear
of letters. The upper three were full. Then
the truth dawned on the check sender. An
expert was sent for, and he dropped an iron
weight into the top of the long box. There
was a. frou frou sort of sound, and in a few
seconds about 500 letters were shot into the
mail box at the foot of the elevator and all
over the floor. An examination of the “New
York style" of mail box showed theta por-
tion of the inside lining of the. box had be-
comc loose, and, projecting across the box,
had arrested one letter after another until
they had piled up three stories high—San
Francisco Chronicle.
The nmggist's Colored Jars.
While a reporter was talking with an
uptown druggist the other evening a little
fellow, clad in a blue suit, entered and
bougiita. postage stamp. After getting
the stamp he said:
“Say, mister, what do yen put in them
big jars in the window?"
“Colored water,” replied the druggist,
smiling, and when the little fellow had
gone he added: “Every now and then
some» little child asks us about those
globes.”
“Well, I am curious myself. What is
the full recipe?” said the reporter.
“Those used by the better classof drug-
gists,” replied the druggist, “are, in re-
ality, composed of mixtures of chemicals.
Some use bottles of colored glass filled
with water, but these do not reflect the
light from the gas jets us the chemicals
do. For red, the most common of all, we
mix iodine and iodide of potassium with
water. Some add alcohol to prevent
freezing. Blue islformed by a mixture of
sulphate of copper, commonly called blue
vitriol, and water of ammonia. Plain bi-
chromnte of potash in water forms the
yellow coloring, and green is made by a
mixture of the blue and yellow, or else
from nickel dissolved in nitric acid. A
pretty crimson color may be made
by combining ulkanet root and oil
of turpentine, and lilac is the re-
sult of a-mixtnre of crude oxide of cobalt
and nitric acid. Royal purple, one of the
prettiest of the windbw colors, is made by
dissolving logwood or cocbineal in am-
monia or sulphate of indigo. Pink is
nitrate of cobalt and- ,sesquicarbonato of
ammonia, and amber is formed of one
part of dragon’s blood and four of oil of
vitriol, filtered and mixed with water.
Of course, all sorts of combinations of
these colors may be made, and other
shades produced, but those which I have
named are the principal ones in use. The
first thing a druggist does on starting in
business is to buy the chemicals needed
forhis bottles. They are an important
item in the equipment of' his store.”—

Art as.“ Antidote.
Dr. Ricard, the celebratedParislau phy-
sician whose specialty—brought- him in
contact with the results of airmanuer of
social vice, was a professed materialist,
and rather delighted in asserting his
views. The Hon. Charles Gayarre, of
New Orleans, one of his most intimate
friends, on one occasion was taken by the
valet through the doctor’s bedroom to his
omcc. To the visitor’s astonishment the
walls of the chamber were caves-ed .with
magnificent paintings, representing none
but sacred subjects; on a sculptured prio
(lieu lay open a superbly illustrated copy
of the gospels, and over it hung an ex-
quisitely carved Christ on a gilded cross.
“Guessing,” says Guyarre, on meeting
VRicord, “at what had passed in my mind,
he said with a laugh, not unmixed, I
thought, with some embarrassment of
manner, ‘You are surprised, are you not?’
‘Certainly,’ I replied; ‘Who would not be?
Faith, my first impression was that I had
been introduced by mistake into the bed
chamber of the archbishop of Paris.’
‘Well, my friend,’ he said, in ahalf jocoso
and half serious tone, ‘I hear aud'see so
many unclean things during the day that,
on retiring at night, I like, before going
tosleep, to refresh my eyes by looking
round my room on holy objects.’ ”—Chi-

Exhibition of Human Pain.
You need not go very far into the phi-
losopy of thisgthiug to understand that it
is not the purpose of art in any of its
forms to show us how dreadful is physical
agony—rather to show us how superior is
‘heroism to it. , It is not the writhing mus-
cles that the artist matter, but the indom-
itable soul that-is under them. .
.And mark you this: The contemplation
of physical aeonrfia interdicvsd. by good'
taste and by civil statute alike, because it
has been found that it demerits-the sensi-
bilities. The whole pressure 01 : chimed
instinct is against the exhibition of human
pain, Society throws its mantle over it
everywhere, whether it be a necessity of
justice or a misfortune of life. It is only
when the dauntless heroism of the suf-
ferer defies and triumphs over it that art
takes any interest in it.—Nym Crinklerin

THE YOUNG TERROR.
M. OUAD’S ADVICE TO THE DIME
NOVEL READER;
The Proper Outfit for 3 Would Be Slayer
of Indians and Grizzlies—Arms and
Ammunition—Tho Best Method of Tuck-
ling a Grizzly.
Come, my son, it is time you were get-
ting ready for a campaign against the Iu~
dians and grizzlies. You have been read-
ing “Daring Don,” “Ike, the Indian
Slayer,” “Gus, the Grizzly Killer,” and
other exciting and truthful stories in-
tended to make a boy dissatisfied with
humdrum life, and your mind is made up
‘to go west.
You must have hn outfit. One reason
why so many boy hunters make a failure
is because they economize too much in
the outfit. Don’t be stingy in buying guns.
It will be all the better if you have n
Spencer carbine and a double burreled
shotgun to go with your Winchester.
Suppose you came suddenly upon a band
of eighteen Apache warriors. You could
only kill sixteen of them with your Win-
chester, and two would be left to ride of!
and alarm the tribe. By having some
extra guns along you are sure of the
whole crowd, and the tribe won't get on
to you.
And don’t scrimp on bowie knives. It
would be an almost fatal «nistake to start
out with only two. Buy four, at least.
They are for use at close quarters with
grizzlies. Of course one bowie is enough
to kill one bear with, but .you may be nt-
tackod by four bears at once, and four
knives would then be in demand. If you
don’t get but three bowies make up the
deficiency with a Spanish stiletto or n
Moorish dagger. It will come handy, not
only in a close fight, but. to pick your
teeth with at the camp fire.
AND REGULAR MOCCASINB.
As for dress, get the fringed buckskin,
a. coonskin cap and regular moccasins.
Such things as shirts, collars, cuffs or
handkerchiefs would be only waste lug-
gage. If you should appear in Miles City
with a collar on it . would give you away
at once. Nobody would suspect that you
were the young terror from the east who
, was aching for a chance to tie a knot in a
grizzly bear’s tail.
You should take at least 200 pounds of
ammunition. You may be corraled some-
where in the Rocky mountains by 400
fierce and determined Indians, and you
don’t want to lose your scalp for the want
of a. few extra cartridges. All the pro-
visions needed is a sack of ' jerked buffalo
meat. It doesn’t make the least bit of
difference whether the bufialo was jerked
off his feet, over a preci ice, or bend over
heels. If the meat is a ttlo fiy blown it
will add to your dignity as a hunter. You
can chew plug tobacco or not, just as you
feel about it, but it would be wisest to do
so. All the champion terrors chow large
quantities, and the juice comes handy to
spit into a rattlesnake’s eyes.
I wouldn’t take a horse if I were you.
He would be a great deal of trouble to
take care of, and most of ydur hunting
will be in a rough country. The true
terror has always gone afoot and always
will. Anybody on horseback can. make
up faces at a grizzly and gallop off out of
reach.
One great mistake which the average
boy makes is planning to accomplish too
much the first season. Most of them fig-
ure on wiping out about 1,000 Indians and
twice that number of bears. Keep your
estimates down to a reasonable figure.
You feel ambitious and enthusiastic, of
course, but there is a limit to what a boy
can do. Set your figures at about 400 In-
dians and 800 grizzlies. This will be a1.
most two per day the year around, and
will keep you from spoiling.
80m sun! 08!.
1 should scalp every Indian I shot. It
not only looks more business like to do so,
but that’s what you've got a scalping
knife for, and if you can get about 200
scalp locks you can make the nicest door
mat you ever saw. .It doesn’t hurt a dead
Indian 8. bit to scalp him, and if you don’t
take it, it will go to waste. It would be
well to have a six mule team follow you
at the distance of a mile or so to pick up
and care for the rifles, knives, bows and
arrows and war clubs of the slain Indians.
These can be run east by car lots and sold
at auction, and the profits will buy all
your ammunition. Don’t exterminate
any particular tribe of red men, but kill
oi! about one-fourth of seven or eight dif-
ferent tribes. This will extend your
reputation as a terror.
As to the best way of killing an Indian,
I shallnot pretend to advise. Some boys
prefer to shoot him, and others believe in
sticking him with a. knife. If you can
catch him in a deep gorge you might drop
a big bowlder down on his head. Another
way is to catch him by the foot with a
lasso, and drag him over the earth until
his spinal column is worn down too. tooth-
pick. In any event the fun thI be all on
your side.
It’s a little diflerent with the grizzly.
bear. He won’t be quite so terror stricken
,over your sudden appearance, being built
on, a different plan. You expect some
show of resistance, however, that you may
have opportunity to show your pluck.
Some of these pale faced, weak kneed
boys hold a grizzly of! at long range and
fill him up with bullets, but you will
never see their Wood cuts in a dime novel.
The true Terror will wind his Mexican
scrape around his left arm, hold it out
for the bear to chew on, and, while the
bear is busy getting a meal, put the
bowie knife into him to the heart. You
'willbca trifle nervous with your first
bear, but after that it will be as easy as

Feeling In Amputntea union.
Several years ago a man was run over
by the cars here and had to have one of
his legs amputated just below the thigh.
The amputated leg was buried in the
back yard, and, after he had recovared
from the antesthetic given him, be “com-
plained that his leg pained him, as it felt
as though lying on Its side, toeing in. He
kept complaining for several hours, till
some of the family, without the knowl-
edge of the injured man, disinterred the
limb and found itas he had, said. They
then turned it up so that it lay a little in-
clined in the other direction, or slightly
toeing out. Immediately-he exclaimed:
“That feels so much better.” His wife
was in his room at the time, and, not
knowing what had been done, asked him
what it was that felt better, and he re-
plied: “Some one has changed my leg to
a comfortable position.” .
Another instance was where a boy
about 18 years old had shot himself
through the right am so badly that it
was taken OR at the shoulder. When he
recovered his senses after the operation
he complained that three of his fingers
were bent over us if clasping a small egg
tightly, and that they had gone to sleep
in that position and were annoying him.
An examination revealed the fact that
when the arm was buried the three fingers
referred to had become bent under the
hand, and, upon their being straightened
out, the boy immediately noticed it and‘
remarked upon it. In both instances the
patients were unaware of the fact that
their requests were being compiled with.

The German Piano Trade.
Some interesting particulars respecting
the German. piano industry are given in
Kuhlcw’s German Trade Review. Ger-
man instruments ”to the value of 18,000,~
000 marks are yearly exported, the total
production being valued‘at from 32,000,-
000‘to 86,000,000 marks, asum which rep-
resents thc price of about 30,000 to 72,000
pianos, etc. Thus,‘only one-half of Car
many’s manufacture remains in the
country. Even that, however, is a large
amount, and does credit to the musical
taste and education of the German people.
Although cemplaints are being generally
made that the piano trade has ncwrenched
its climax, and that even'ardecline'is visi-
ble, yet, according to ‘the insurances of
various Berlin manufacturers',_ the in-
dustry in Berlin has hardly suffered at
all from the unfavorable influences, and.
the work peOple are all busily employed.
The construction of grand pianos (Salon-
fingel) has lately increased, the demand
for this kind being greater than formerly.
In'Berlin there are about 200pisno manu~
factories. Of these some turn out more
than 1,500 instruments (grand and cottage
pianos) yearly, and employ, from 800 to
400 operatives regularly. The work in
itself is very difilcult. A number of fac-
tors must combine in order tin-produce any-
thing perfect. Great accuracy and care
are indispensable qualities. The insertion
of the sounding boards, the relation of
the piano to the strings, the-final touches,
require vast technical knowledge.—NeW‘

BOARD OF HEALTH.
Important Facts Boarding tho Prev-
alence of n Dreaded Scourge—Sums.
tions of Vital Interest" to Everybody.
New. salty of [soluble—Disinfection.
The annual report of the state board of
health presents some important facts re-
garding the prevalence of diphtheria—the
most important of the Zymotic diseases.
Probably few persons are aural-c of the ex-
tent of the havoc worked by this scourge.
For three years past almost exactly one.
third of all the mortality from contagious
diseases has been due to it, and during the
past your the percentage showed a. slight
increase. During the winter months it
Sometimes reaches nearly, one-half the
mortality under this head. The total
number of deaths from diphtheria has
been increasing during the in three
years, being 4,500 out of 80, .in 1885.
6,000 out of 86,800 in 1880, and during the
twelve months ending Dec. 1, 11887, 0,271
out of 90,500. -
trs nss'rnvc‘rmm
It is more destructive than diarrhaaal
diseases, which, in summer, cause .two-
thirds of the‘deaths from zym'otio dis-
eases. It was especially prevalent during
last autumn, causing ”Spar-emu o'fvtho »
deaths from zymotic diseaseié, but'dl'd’nfot'
reach the grim average of, the mending,
winter,‘when it caused no‘ less _ than 4'1.
per cent. of such deaths. {Practically the
same state of things exists in‘ncrthern‘
states generally, and in the northern
countries of Europe. - * ,
“Investigations are steadily in progress
in all countries so afflicted, its to the
causes of the disease and the possibility
of restricting it. Thessall pointto the
general fact that thep‘ersistcnce of the
disease is due to the presence of
filth in some form. Epidemics in
villages and small towns, where the
sanitary conditions are more easily deter-
mined than ‘in the large cities, have
demonstrated this so often'that it hardly
needs to be proved. Anything which
poisons air or water may be set downs:
a cause of diphtheria, and recent cases
have even brought milk within ' the cate-
gory of the agents Of contagion. ' Lack of
drainage, and the contamination of wells
and cellars by leaking cesspools, are
among the most obvious muses of can»
tagion. But there are others quite as
dangerous, which are commonly supposed
to be harmless. The heard reports; that
there is too great an indiflorence to the
danger from kitchen wastes, which is
quite as great as from‘more; ofiensivo ae-
cumukttious. The New Jersey boardbf
health has also directed attention strongly
to neglected cellars ,as'a cause of diph-
theriu. This is apoint of "great‘import-
mice, for the air in the cellu- will surely
find its way up into the house. A vigi-
lant cleanliness is the best preventive of
diphtheria.
Nncssstrx or rsou'riox.
The board reports that the experience
of the past year has ads the necessity of
isolation in the'treatment of the disease
more apparent than over. All the evi-
dence tends increasingly to show. that the
germs of the disease may be carried by
persons in good health Who have been in
contact with the sick, that they find place
in clothing, bedclothes and all other fab—
rics, adhere to the walls,-’nnd wherever
they settle retain their power for mischief
for a considerable time. If the patient is
properly isolated. these germs will die in
time, or can be' destroyed by fumigation
after the patient's recovery and removal.
The board recommends that the isolation
should be for a long time, at least until
entire recovery from sore throat.
A special evil is the too earl'y'return of
children to school after an attack. In
these two measures—cleanliness and iso-
lation—the sole hope seems to lie against
the spread of diphtheria. A notable _in-
stance of the effective use of isolation and
disinfection on a large scale has been of-
forded in Michigan. The state board of
health enforced this policy‘ in 110 out-
breaks in 1880, in which there were 832
cases and 75 deaths, but in 102 outbreaks,
where no restrictive measures were taken, ,
there were 1,650 cases-and 329 deaths. ‘
This is sufficient to ‘show that whep diph-
theria has actually broken out, its ravages
can be much” diminished by a stern qnnr- ,
antine.—New York Tribune.

from which I secured my knowledge of
,the domestic troubles in Russia, for
reasons I have explained, but, my con-
clusiOns are my own‘and lead‘irr'es'lstibly
to this one ' fact, that nihilism is'the
protest of enlightened reason against the
despotic .tyranny of the police. Every
man in Russia who-dares talk at all ‘will
Will admit it. The Gear is generally"-
spected and beloved by the people. The
police are hated by every one. The con-
dition is that of abject submission to
tyranny. No man or woman is safe;

sons is crime. A word from a. spy will-
send the best man in Petersburgjoprison.
'There is not even freedom of thought. A
man may not even have opinions'thatnro
contrary to the “administrative system,”
as the despotism is called. As long as he
keeps ‘his Opinion to himself. he is safe,
but if he utters them, not only in Russia,-
but in Paris, or London, or 'anywhere
else, they are liable to be reported by one
of the thousands of spies, and from that
day he is a marked man. Nihilism is a

dition of affairs. It'is simply'a refusal to

MAKING A TEA SET.
POTTERY NOT MADE SO RAPIDLY
AS REPORTED.
Exphn'ntion of a Big Story That Hus
neon Circulating In the English News-
plpors—A Good Many Flulsliiug Touches
Needed—Tho cm. ‘
A paragraph has been going the rounds
of the English press, purporting to be "a
voracious statement of the remarkable
feat of a “young English potter astonish-
ing the United States by an exhibition of
his prowess" in making an entire set of
forty-four pieces in the short time of eight
minutes. The astonishment does not seem
to, have spread to any perceptible extent
among American potter-s. Indeed, they
do net appear to be aware of any, for the
excellent reason that the alleged feat is
simply an impossibility. No matter how
young that potter may be, he might be
even younger, and, although English, still
he couldn’t do it.
Mr. Theodore Havilnnd, whose author-
ity as an expert nobody will question,
'upon reading the paragraph said: “It is
impossible. What the man made was
simply the camiso, or shirt, of the several
articles in the ten set. That is nothing
more than a sheet of the dough like clay,
more or less accurate in thickness and
form, that -must be put on a mold, and
when it dries to-a certain point must have
Hamhd to it the other parts mined ' to
complete the ;artii:lc‘ for which it is in-
tended. That‘ forty-four thin pieces of
clay may be spun upon a wheel in eight
minutes, or even less, is not at all surpris-
ing, but when that is done see how far
they are from being finished.
10 BE DONE ansnwaun..
“Turn up your plate or cup or saucer, '
and you will see that it has a. ‘foot,’ as it
is technically termed, which is a circlet of
clay attached to the camiso when it is
sufficiently dry and is molded. In like
manner, notice that other articles, the
teapot and sugar bowl, have ‘collnrs’ at
their tops, which are also put on in the
same way. Then the lids have knobs and
what is termed the ‘bridlc’—the part that
sets down in the collar—added to them.
Then the teapot at least must have a
spout. and both it and the cream jug at
least handles. And all those things have
to be molded and stuck on the camise. It
is preposterous to suppose even that a
man could do all this in the time speci-
fied. Even if he possest the manual
dexterity to work with lightning like
rapidity, the clay would not dry suffi-
ciently in so few minutes to enable him to
complete the pieces.”
Similar expressions of disbelief were
'uttered by two other experts. They both
said that while it is true that a great ma-
jority of the pottery workers in the United
States are English, the employers are
Americans and have introduced in their
establishments such expediting and labor
saving processes as are ahead of every-
thing of the kind in England. A factory
in Trenton was spoken of asone of the
most progressive. It. is often visited by
English pottery manufacturers when they
coins to this country, and they seldom fail
to find new points for their own advantage
at home. At the same time not even
American ingenuity has ever yet found a
way to turn out a complete set of forty-
four pieces in eight minutes, and the
young Englishman who could do it would
indeed astonish them very much and open
up such a prospect of reduction in cost of
production as would make even a protec-
tive tariff seem of minor importance.
THE QUESTION OF cosr.
Touching upon that question of cost,
Mr. Havilnnd said: “There ' is very little
difference in the cost of production of the
actual white material, whether it is for
the very. finest class of goods that are sub-
sequentlyto receive the highest artistic
decoration, or for the common articles
that pass without decoration to the con-
sumer’s hands. That is, of course, with
the understanding that a wide difference
exists between the cost of the white ma-
terial of porcelain, which is composed of
kaolin and that of china. that is made
from clay. The cost of workmanship on
the white material is about the same, and
there is little difference in. the time re-
quired for production, as the processes
are, to a great extent, identical, though it
isworthy‘of remark that'wo do do not
find. as a. rule, that the workman who is
skilled in handling one substance, the
clay, for instance, can with equal ability
work the other. There is a difl'erence in
aha manipulation that is difficult tode-
no.
“No man, as the making. of pottery is
now carried on, makes all of an article.
One makes the camisc by rolling it out, as
a. cook would his pie crust, or by spinning
it on a wheel, according to the use for
which it 'is intended. Another fits the
‘clay to the mold and trims it. Others
attach to it the several parts required for
‘its completion, others decorate it, and so
it passes from hand to hand until it
[reaches the “kiln. It is in the decoration
‘ that the great cost is added. Awhite por-
‘celain' set of forty-four pieces, that may
‘ not be ‘vvorth more than from $10 to 615,
can be decorated‘so that each piece may
be made an almost priceless treasure of
art. Inprnctice We do not make, for ordi-
' nary commercial demand, sets of that size
costing more than 875, but we have made
and can make them worth ' 6200 very
easily. Decoration that would increase
that value would have to be by some
great artist, ranking in the world of art
for above the professional porcelain decor-
ators, the best of whom in France do not
get over 5,000 francs a year, say $1,000.
The man who is paid at that rate will
spend a day, or perhaps‘two days some-
times, in painting _a single plate. That
being taken into consideration, together
with the high duties, it is wonderful that
the exquisite porcelain imported is sold
here so cheaply.”-—New York Sun.

Leap year is a great fraud. No girl he-
