THE FEAST OF BARMECIDE.
__‘__-————
I saw a. ban net, many guests were there
Who sat bes do the board and made as though
They ate rich cares and drank red wine—And 101
\thn I came near and looked, the board was
bare.
But still they reveled, lifting high in air
Their empty glasses, seeming not to know
The truth. With flashing eyes and cheeks aglow
They sang of Love, the conqueror of care.
Is not the feast Lord Love himself hath spread
For thee and me as immaterifd?
Who knows if it be really wine and bread
We drink and eat at this our festival?
Ah, Lovel What matters it, so we are fed ?—
If we believe so, faith atones for all.
—Sydney Herbert Pierson in The Journalist.
A NEAT SCHEME.
Business was rather dull in Wall street one
September a few years back. There had
been a dearth of Speculative movement, most
of the large operators were still enjoying
their vacations, and the ticker moved in‘ a
fltful way, betokening to the initiated that
about all the activity there was depended on
a couple of hundred perspiring and shouting
mortals who pass by the nanio of “room
traders.” As these gentlemen, however,
under such circumstances usually engage in
transactions which may aptly be compared
to swapping jackets, it can be understood
that there was little in the condition of the
market to gratify those brokers who depend
upon public patronage for their commissions
and profits.
Mr. Frank Safrou accordingly sat in his
front office, and though outwardly philosoph-
ical in appearance and conversation, chafed
inwardly over the fact that he had noth-
ing to do. Not an order had reached him in
several days. He had wandered disconso—
lately over to the board only to find the
“traders” aforesaid “soalping” one another
for eights, and coming back to his office,
found no better employment than reading the
newspaper. It might be remarked that un-
der ordinary circumstances Mr. Safron‘s
yearly profits averaged upward of $50,000,
but he nevertheless found himself meditating
as to whether he should reduce expenses by
giving up his yacht or his horses.
This melancholy train of thought was how-
ever averted by the opening of the office door,
and the entrance of a stranger. He was a
man of tall stature and powerful frame, and
a pair of keen blue eyes, and hair and side
whiskers which, originally brown, seemed to
have become prematurely gray. He was at-
tired, though the weather was quite warm,
in an ill fitting, double breasted frock coat of
dark material, and wore .on his head a. felt
hat with a high crown and broad brim, his
general appearance corresponding, qs Mr.
Safron noted, to that of a prosperous west-
crii business man. '
“Is this Mr. Safron?" said the stranger, in
a loud, hearty voice. ’
“That is my name,” replied Sufi-on, rising.
“An old friend of yours," resumed the
stranger, “a Mr. Halstead, who lives but
our way, recommended me 0 you. My name
is Coit—Homer N. Coit, 0 Omaha."
“Glad to know you, Mr. Coit,” said Sa—
fron, taking the stranger’s outstretched hand
and remembering the farmer client whose
name was mentioned, and who, having come
to grief in the market, had followed the sage
advice about going west. “What can I do
for you?”
“Well," was the reply, “I am here in New
York partly for business and partly for
pleasure. I’m in the lumber trade out my
way, and there are some big contracts to be
let here, so I am looking after them. Now
I’ve always wanted to try my hand at stocks,
and as Halstead spoke so well of you, I
thought I‘d come down and put. up a little
money, and see if I couldn’t knock my ex-
penses out. of this game of yours. \Vhat’s the
ante, anyway?"
Under ordinary circumstances Safron
would have required a more formal identifi-
cation of a prospective customer. He was,
hOWever, somewhat taken by the westerner’s
frank, hearty manner, and remarked, as the
latter drew a pocketbook from the breast of
his coat, that the custom of the street was for
the deposit of margin equal to 10 per cent. on
the par value of the stocks, carried for a ens--
tomer’s account.
“That’s all right,” said Mr. Coit, unfold-
ing a roll of bills, which S'afron could see
were of' large denominations. “Here‘s $4,-
060 in currency. You see I expected to be
moving around between here and Boston,
and Philadelphia, and not caring to be both-
'ered with bank drafts, brought the stuff with
me. By the way,” added he, “perhaps it is
dangerous for me to carry a lot of loose
money around with me. Can’t I put it all
up with you, and have you check it to me as
I want any 2”
Safron saw no objection to this, and Mr.
Coit accordingly transferred about a thou—
sand dollars mor! into the hands of his
banker, and, re lacing his pocketbook in its
place with a sig of relief, proceeded to ask
What could be done in the market. ,
Now, although dullness reigned through
\Vall street, there were some stocks which
Safron thought might in a little while yield
a fair return to a patient speculator, and
Mr. Coit accepted his arh ice; he strolled over
to the exchange, and bought a few hundred
of the shares in question for the former, after
which the westerner, who had given a. quiet
uptown hotel as his address, took his depart-
ure. '
A
the market became more active, and
prices underwent a decided advance, the
stock in which Mr. omer N. Coit’s
margin was invested sharing in the
rise to the extent of four or five points,
thus justifying Safron’s opinion of it. Coit
had neither been seen nor heard from, but
one morning he made his appearance, ex-
plaining that he had taken a run over to Bos—
ton on business connected with his lumber
contracts. He was pleased with the success
of his speculation, and at once agreed with
Safron’s advice to take his profits, which
amounted to nearly $1,500, and to sell a few
hundred shares of another stock in which
Mr. Safron anticipated there would be a de-
cline.
“I think,” said the westerncr, when this
was done, “I had better have a little money,
as my cash is running low. Suppose you
give me a hundred and fifty.”
“Why, certainly,” said Safron; “give Mr.
Coit a check, IVilson."
A few moments later Safron’s chief clerk,
Mr. Wilson, handed Coit a check for the
amount in question drawn to his own order
on the National. Bank of the New Ne her-
lands, with the remark that if he woui iii-
dorse it they would send to the bank and get
him tho amount in currency.
“Suppose you let me go with the messen-
gcr and have him identify me at your bank,”
said Coit, artlcssly. “I shall keep you draw-
ing checks for me all the time, and if I can
get'thcin cashed it will save you trouble.”
\Vilson saw no harm in this arrangement,
and so Coit accompanied a clerk to the Bank
of the New Netherlands, and was introduced
to the pa'ying teller of that institution as Mr.
Homer 1'. Coit, in whose favor the check
was drawn, and accordingly obtained his
money.
For some timc Coit was a frequent visitor
at Safron’s ofiice, spending sufficient time on
each occasion to make himself familiar witlr
the office and all its occupants, to whom his
hea 'ty western ways anorucn more or less
amusement Ilc made frequent use of the
telephone in the oilice to communicate with
parties with whom he said he was negotia-
ting in regard to his lumber contracts. At
the same time his speculations progressed
favorably on the whole. He showed himself
to be conservative, yet willing to follow
Safron’s advice; and though once or twice he
met with slight losses, he took them good
naturedly. His docility was rewarded with
further profits to a considerable amount, so
that Mr. Safron, who prided himself on his
judgment concerning the market, and his
success in steering his customers through its
numerous quicksands, \vus genuinelypleased.
“I tell you," he remarked, in a moment of
confidence, “the people who lose money iii
“'11“ street are those who think they know
something, when they are unmitigated green-
horns. Now, Coit, you do know the west-
ern country and the railroads. lint. you are .
willing to take advice 011 the iniincdiato con-
dition of the market, and are brave enough
to follow it; so you see you have made money
where others generally drop it. I gucss you
are about $3,000 ahead of this ‘gamc,’ as you
called it when you first came here. At the
same time I am satisfied, for I have made
more in the way of commissions out of you
than if you had been losing your money the
way ordinary lambs do.”
Coit took the compliment with his usual
modesty, and a few moments later told the
chief clerk that he wanted some more money.
He had been drawing such sums as he needed
from time to time, receiving checks for them,
which he usually took and had cashed at the
Bank of the New Netherlands himself. On
this occasion the amount he desired' was
larger than usual, being something over
$1,000; but, of course, in the condition of
Coit’s account, his request was complied
with, and a. check promptly handed to him.
Soon after this, Coit announced in his
usual frank way that he had completed the
business which brought him to New York,
and was about to return to his western home.
He found the money he had placed in Saf-
ron’s bands was needed in his business, but in
a short time he hoped to be able to start a
little account; again, and conduct it by tele-
graph. His account was accordingly closed
‘nnd a check given for the balance, which, in
spite of all the drafts info upon it, was
larger than the amount he had originally
placed in his broker’s hands.
A few days passed, and Coit made his ap-
pearance one morning with a valise in his 1
hand. His train, he said, left in an hour,
but having some final business to attend to
week or so passed, during which '
, bon.
' ache and neuralgia above, followed by dis- _
down towo. he had called in to say good-by
to his Wall street friends. . .
“By the way ,” he remarked, looking at his
‘ watch, “there is one man I wanted. to see, .
and now I am too late to go to his place.
Can I talk to him over your telephone?"

'ms'ét‘iifwliiéh the telephone inni’g. Ail tTna‘t
was heard was therefore the usual amount of
signaling, and considerable talking by Coit,
who, however, came out in a little while (lo-
clared that the instrument did not work, and
that he would therefore have to see his man
after all. He therefore shook hands with the
broker, and receiving his wishes for a. pious-
art journey hastened away, not without some
regret on Safron’s part, who was naturally
sorry to lose so successful and profitable a
customer.
A few moments later a clerk from the
Bank of the New Netherlands hurriedly en-
tered Safron’s office, with an inquiry as to
whether he had that morning drawn a check
in favor of Homer N. Coit for forty thousand
and odd dollars, numbered about one hundred
figures higher than his checks of the preced-
ing day, producing at the same time the slip
of paper which in all respects was a perfect
duplicate of the checks Safron used, and
with his own signature so pqrfectly imitated
that only the fact that he had signed no such
document convinced him it was a forgery.
“It is a forgery,” he finally gasped. “Did
you pay it?” .
“Luckily not. t was presented by a
young man, whom this Mr. Coit introduced
as his son, and who lately came several times
with large checks, which were all right.
The paying teller, however, had some doubts
about paying as large an amount as this, and
the young man suggested telephoning you to
see if it was_all right. The teller called you
up, but just as he commenced to ask about it
the telephone broke down, and he couldn’t
talk to you. When he said to the young man
that he had better get some one here to come
around with him, he, made a sudden break
for the door, leaving the check behind him,
and _I’ve been sent to see about it.”
“It. is mighty lucky ofor the bank,” said
Safron, “as the loss on a. forged check would
have been theirs. Perhaps, however, I would
have been chargeable for my negligence in
letting an outsider use my telephone, for
evidently Coit timed himself to be at the in-
strument when the bank called me up, and
say it was all right.” '
The chief clerk here remembered that Coit
had inquired who their stationcr w. ‘, and on
inquiry it was ascertained that on pretense
of having some similar work executed, he
had obtained a sample of Safron’s engraved
checks. The attempted forgery was there-
fore laid bare, and subsequent development
in criminal history showed that the Omaha
lumber merchant, Mr. Coit, was none other
than “Coyote Jiiii,”'a daring western forgoi-
and bank thief, who had lately served out a
long term in a. western penitentiary, and
who, after victimizing some western bank,
had escaped with a share of his plunder.
“IVell,” said Safron, “I’ve learned not to
accept a customer without a personal intro-
duction; and as for the telephone, the best
service it ever did me was when it broke
down.”-—-Gavin Pendergast in Once a chek.
Conquering a Lasting l‘cacc.
Skobolefl' met, during one of his travels in
the Danubian region, with an English Quaker
lady, who had a daughter married in some
town where he was quartered, and who used
to lecture him on the sinfulness of war.
Her remonstrances, indeed, made a consider-
‘ able impression upon him, and he felt much
admiration for her fidelity to Christian prin-
ciple. Hence be derived a high esteem for
Quakeresses, whom he DI'OIIOIIIIL'CL
worshipful.” He liked old American ladies
better than young ones, but his special aver-
sion was “the staring, stuck up British peer-
ess. who clipped her words and was half .
choked by her r’s.” _,
He was not a stranger to the existence and
aims of a Peace society. Once, in a conversa-
tion with an English journalist, he said:
"‘You must not publish this or I shall be
called a barbarian by the Peace souicty; but
I hold it is a principle in Asia that the dura-
tion of peace is in direct proportion to the
slaughter you inflict upon the enemy. The
harder you hit them, the longer they will
be quiet afterwards. We killed nearly 20,000
Turkomans at Gcok Tepe. During the pur—
suit, after the assault, we killed 8,000 of both -
sexes. I had them counted. The survivors
will not soon ferget the lesson.”
Such words and such deeds show, afresh, ;
the horrible influences of war, and its tend-
ency to brutalize all men, even those in .

Foraging for Her Cats.
The spectacle of a handsome woman in an
unmistakable IVorth gown plucking grass
out of a Fifth avenue dooryard would, I am
certain, have attracted the attention of an
even less curious person than myself. The
fact that I was well acquainted with the
charming wearer of the gown and had never
known her to be adictcd to excesses of
lunacy added to the interest her not inspired
in inc. Her explanation was simple enough,
however. She was foraging for her cats.
Pussy, it seems, has a gastronomic fondness
for grass second only to that which she cl cr-
ishes for catnip. She devours grass, my air
friend avers, as a tonic, and a eat well dosed
with grass will, she states, preserve its good
condition against all the ills that f'elinity is
heir to. Having two cats in her family, my
gentle informant should certainly be an
authority.
She goes to the trouble of carrying a hand-
ful of grass home every day to her pets to
nibble on, and they do it justice, she says, as
a properly constituted Frenchman would
render its due to the inostsucculent salad.
' They get the grass as a regular diet, and cat-
nip as an occasional reviver at this season, but
in winter time have to worry along on catnip
alone. An additional and curious item, ac—
cording to my enlightener, is that a fairly
well bred cat infinitely prefers the dried cat-
nip onc buys at the druggist’s to the leaves
fresh from the field. Pussy will roll herself
on the fresh leaves, and perhaps nibble them
just 1. little. She “‘1 roll on the dried cat-
nip. too, and then devour it to the last crumb
and then stagger away to sleep off her de-
bauch in a quiet corner, like any experienced
rounder that travels on two legs. --Alfred
Trnmble in New York News.
Press Censorship in Russia.
The drastic censorship of the press in Rus-
:siais a curious study for Americans. We
have most of as seen Russian newspapers
with whole columns blurred out by the cen-
sor. Carlisle’s histories of “Frederick the
Great" and the “French Revolution” have
only just been admitted to circulation. The
queercst thing is to take the French and
Russian editions of Rambaud’s “History of
Russia” (London, 1879), and compare them.
No one would recognize them as the same
work. But, then, as the celebrated Olga
Novikoff once said to the present writer:
“You know our peasants are not allowed to
know that Peter III was murdered by the
Empress Catharine,” The whole thing has
contained in that sentenca—Belford’s Maga-

Italy’s ~New Criminal Code.
The new criminal code of Italy, just pro-
mulgated, abolishes the death penalty for
murder or any seriOus crime. It substitutes
therefor imprisonment for life. The ilist
ten years is to be in, solitary confinement at
hard labor. At the end of that period, if the
convict has conducted himself Well, he can
thereafter work among his associate rou-
victs, but is still condemned to remain silent.
For continued good behavior he is to be re-
warded by permission to speak occasionally.
In case of dueling the court has first to deter-
mine whethcr all laws of honor have been
complied with, and then the penalty is six
months’ imprisonment for mere fighting. For
death, five years’ imprisonment; seconds in
the first case to have three months, in the
second case two months and u. half—New

MEMORIES OF ENGLAND.
LETTER FROM THE REV. T. DE
WITT TALMAGE, D. D.
Seeing Sonic of the Evening and Midnight
Charities of London in Company With
llio Earl of Kiinure—Richard “'cnvcr,
the English Evangelist.
We publish instead of a weekly talk a
letter from the Rev. '1‘. De \Vitt 'l'alinagc,
D. D., of Brooklyn, who is now absent
from his church. Its subject is “Two or
Three Memories of England," and its date
Aug. 10.
In 1879 I saw much of Great Britain and
Ireland, as you may imagine when I tell
you that I preached and lectured ninety-
six times in ninety-four days;
I shall not soon forget a week night at
the door of a church in London. I was
not to preach, but to lecture. After a
long ride through regions strange to me,
the carriage stopped at the door of the
church. On my stepping out there
pressed through the crowd a terrible
looking man—whether a madman or one
infuriated with strong drink, I cannot
say—and crying out: "He that believetli
and is baptized shall be saved, and lie
that bclicvetli not shall be damned,” he
struck at my head with full force of fist.
A11 aged gentleman, who, as I saw him
afterward, seemed all too weak for such
an undertaking, caught the uplifted fist
and divcrtcd the blow. The crowd then
came in between me and the fury, and 'I
passed into the church without further
disturbance; but you may imagine I ar-
rived in the ante-room in anything but a
comfortable frame of mind.
Under these circumstances I was intro-
duced to the Earl of Kiutore, the cclc-
bratcd Scotch philanthropist. There was
so much paeification in his demeanor that
I soon recovered from the perturbation of ‘
the scene through which I had just passed.
Then and there an affectionate acquaint-
ance was formed, which, though brief,
will be something to rejoice over while I.
live. If I were asked who was the best
man I met that summer abroad, I would
say without hesitation, “The Earl of Kin-
torc.” He was just as much at home on
platform "and in pulpit as in the house
of lords, or as in his own castle. I said to
my wife. over and over again, “That man
is too ripe in goodness and geniality to
live long in this world!" Alas, my prophecy
proved too true.
Seated at. his table with all the mem-
bers of his family, and some of his illus-
trious friends whom he had invited to
dine. he said to me, “Do not forget your
journey next Sabbath night.” It was use-
less to tell me not. to forget that which I
had so ardently anticipated. At 6 o'clock
his lordship called at the Westminster
hotel. not with a carriage, for we were
going where it was best for us to go
afoot. \Vitli his servant to carry his coat
and Bible and )salin book, we sauntered
forth. We were out to see some of the
evening and midnight charities of London.
First of all we went into the charity lodg—
ing houses of London—tho places where
outcast men who would otherwise have to
lodge on the banks of the Thames, or un-
der the arch bridges, may come in and
find gratuitous shelter. These men, as
we went in, sat alumni in all stages of
poverty and \vrctclicdncss. _
As seen as the curl entered they all
knew him. \Vith some he shook bands,
which, in some cases. was a big- undertak-
ing. 1t is pleasant to shake hands with
the cleanly, but :1 trial to shake hands
with the untidy. Earl Kintore did not
stop to so: whether these men had at-
tended to proper :iblutiou. They were in
sin and trouble, and needed help, and that
was enough to evoke. all his sympathies.
He addressed them as “gcntlcmcu” in a
short religious. addrc and promised
them “a front at Chr He said:
“Gentlemen. i uni {5-1111 - iiuicdiutely at
the adjournment. 01' IldlllCllI, to Scot-
land, and Sllzlll not :x you again till next
year, but 1 have left 1_-oucy with my rcp-
rcsciitativv, who will c to it that you

good llliletm 11c syiupzuliizcd practically
with their pliy ‘cal necessity. Ills ad—
dresses were cui'ncst. helpful, and looked
toward two. worlds-this and the next.
In midsummer a largo fire was burning in
the grate. for I suppose the poor creatures
were very thin blooded. Turning to those
forlorn vrctclies, Lord liintore said,
“That is a splendid fire. I do not believe
they have a better fire than that in Buck-
ingham 1.:ilacc."
From this charity lodging house, which
the inmates call the “House of Lords,” we
went to one of inferior quality. which the
inmates call the “House of Commons."
' Thci-c vcrc different grades of squalor,
(liilcrcnt degrees of rags, different styles
of liileOLIOl‘. From there we went to mis-
sions and outdoor meetings and benevo-
lcnt rooms, where coifce and chocolate are
crowding: out intoxicanfs. Ready with
prayer and cxhortation himself, his lord-
ship expected everybody with him to be
do the talking. he had a sudden and irre-
sistible \v
.y of utilizing others for relig-
ious address, so that at the close of this
Sunday, which I had set apart. for entire
quiet, I found I had made five addresses.
But it was one of the most refreshingr and.
instructive days of my life.
I saw him again under very different
circuii fences. It was on Aug. 12, Satur-
day afternoon, 2 o'clock. Saturday after-
noon is always a holiday in London. and it
meats. I was to speak in Exctcr hall on
“Bright and Happy Homes." The earl
was in the chair. The families of many
of the English aristocracy were on the
platform. The prince imperial of France
was that afternoon being carried to Chisel-
hurst. As the great Exetcr hall organ
ceased to roll, Earl Kintorc arose, and as
he confronted the audience the minute
gun of- the funeral procession sounded.
At the sound of that gun the whole audi-
ence were in tears, for the prince imperial
had died in the English cause, and the
nation was in deep grief. Earl Kintore
said: “\Vo are asscmblcd to hear a lecture
on ‘Bright and liuppy IIonics,’ but. the
sound of that gun reminds us of a home
no more bright and happy, but forever
desolate. (101-1 pity the cmprcss’ broken
heart!” The audience were wliclmcd with
the thought that. she had lost her palace
and lost her companion and lost her child.
“The only son of his mother, and she a
Widow!"
As the Earl of Kintorc and I parted in
London he said: "When you get back' to
America send 1:10 a stick (by which the
Englishman and Scotchmaii mean ‘a cane)
and I will send you a stick.”
After getting home, and in due course
of time, there came by International ex-
press 31 shepherd's crook, made out of
witch' 11:1' l. and, I think, out from the
grounds around his castle in Scotland,
the wood beautifully polished and. ap' ro-
priatcly inscribed. I sought from“; ace
to place to find a cane worthy of m .3 “bot.
tisli friend. After considerable elfiy 1'
found what I wanted, and sent it by ex-
press to Inverary, Aberdeeiishirc, Scot-
and, but before it arrived at its place of
destination the Earl of Kintorc had
linishcdliis earthly journey, and had no
more need of rod or staff to comfort him.
A sharp pang strikes through me, only
solaced by the thought that in the Chris-
tian partings of earth there must be a
heavenly reunion.
Besides this reminiscence, I present one
of goodness and usefulness in 'a different
sphere. The contrast is vivid. I had
great desire to see the much talked about,
often condemned, but divinely honored
Richard Weaver, the English evangelist.
He has for many years been stirring the
hearts of vast multitudes. It has been no
unusual thing for 111111 to address ten
thousand people in the open air, and to
have hundreds under one sermon con-
verted. “Is it not strange, ’ I often said,
“that I see nothing of Richard VVeaver‘l"
He had for years paused in his itinerant
work, and been preaching in a chapel to
the poor of Oldham, near Manchester.
At last I'found him coming out of the
barn of my host, where he had been look-
ing at the horses. I heard him singing
before I saw him. \Ve greeted each other
like old friends. “You must go to Old-
ha.m,"lio said. “I cannot go,” was the
reply; “I have but one day, and that next
Saturday, to rest in before I leave Eng-
land, and I must rest or die.”
By this time we had reached the house.
He got down on his knees and said: “O
Lord, show this man his dut to go to
Oldham!" Rising, he said, "' his is m
excuse for demanding you to go. It wi I
be the iiccdicst audience you have seen in
England. All poor, and the Lord's or,
and you have not seen England til you
have seen my humble chapel." After
further consideration I accepted the in-
vitation.
Arrived at Oldham we had a delightful
time. _ Iichard IVeaver is one of the most
magnetic men I ever met. He recited re-
miniscences, and sun for me, and did
everything except telI the story of the
lost slice ). I said to him: “I have heard
and res. much about the way you tell
that story;” but he declined, saying that
he needed the inspi ion of a large audi-
ence before him to ’ it well. True to his
statement, the people in his chapel are
the Lord’s poor. I never enjoyed preach-
ing more than that afternoon to that un-
prctcnding audience. A gentleman played
the melodeon in the chapel.“ As I was leav-
ing for the train, he handed me an cnvel~
ope. Isaid: “Excuse me, I cannot take
t iat. I suppose it is to meet my ex.-
cnSss. I came downhere to serve
ichard \Veavcr, and I will pay m -own
expenses.” He replied,. “You 0 not
know what the letter contains. Putdt in
your pocket.” Arriving at the railztrqin:

“What did you do with that?” Spent it.
Travel with your family in England, and
have two secretaries and their families,
and look at pictures and curiosities and
books, which are too much for your re-
sistance, and cross both ways in a 011-
narder, and have but little faculty for se-
vere economy yourself, and it will be no
mystery where the money went.
And so we place side by side the two
men. The one descendant for six genera-
tions from the greatest height of social
and political position. The other come
up from a. colliery. The one reared in all
the advantages of the university, and the
other not able to read until late in life.
But both God’s iioblcmen. both the cham-
pions of religion, both eminent for 1111-.
mility, for faith, for courage and for‘de-
votion. Both turned many to righteous-
ness. “And they shall shine as the stars
forever and ever. ”

OIII Methods of Advertising.
The first general departure in the 11d-
vertising line was what was known as
hotel advertising, and the competition
often led to many practical jokes. The
railroad traveling agent went for the best
space in 11. hotel bar, rending room or of-
iicc, and the one who could offer the high—
cst premium for choice was the best fol-
low. 'l‘he first framed 'ailroad cards were
not perhaps models of art in themselves,
but they were mighty attractive. A keen
traveling railroad agent would study for
hours merely to find out what would be
the final effect upon 11. crowd gathering in
the hotel of a large manufacturing town.
'l‘licsc traveling agents were supposed to
have free passes over all roads, whether
competing or not (interstate commerce was
an unknown factor then). and there was
no station, however insignificant, on any
railroad, but. where this peripatetic would
step around with hammer, nails and cord
to hang upon the inner walls the banner
of his corporation.
Then came the custom of going through
the cars on tlic several railroads and dis-
tributing little descriptive handbooks,
now and then illustrated with cheap e11-
gravings describing certain scenery along
the route. If there could be a collection
of those made it would form an interest-
ing history in itself of railroad progress
in this country. As an improvement on
this method, one corporation, possibly
the Old Colony, discovered that along its
several main lines and branches there was
a vast deal of material which, if properly
used, would induce strangers and tour-
ists to go over the ground made sacred by
the lives and deeds of “The Pilgrim.
Fathers,” and a. well written book, un-
commonly well illustrated, was published
under the auspices of the Old Colony cor-
poration. This provoked a following by
other corporations, and literary talent and
artistic skill of the first order were en-
gaged, and for a time these illustrated
books were much sought after, and many
an old collector would willingly pay today
a handsome price for a full set. These
books have been improved upon up to the
present time—Boston Traveller.
RESULTS OF IGNORANCE.
Perils to Infants—How Dcformitics Arise.
\Vliolcsalo Abuses.
Who does not know that the sufferings,
peril and short life of our infants is largely
duo to ignorance on the part of mothers of
the common laws which govern development,
and secure healthful activity in life—and yet
the rules are few, simple and easy of applica-
tion—aspropcr clothing, loosely worn and
moderate in length; proper food, taken at
regular intervals (which for months should
be mother’s milk only, where the supply is
suflicient and quality good); abundant sleep;
freedom from nervous excitement, too often
brought about by senseless endeavors to show
off the brightness or cunning ways of the
child; proper care taking at the periods of
teething, learning to walk, etc.
How few realize that deformities arise
from encouraging a child to walk before the
bony structures are sufficiently hardened, and
from allowing it to sit too continuously
while the bones are more cartilaginous than
osscous. Especially may this habit prove
disastrous to female children, from the fact
that the diameter of the pelvis maybeso
much changed by continued pressure of the
superincumbent weight of the trunk of the
body and head upon it that in after lifo ma-
ternity may prove not only extra hazardous,
but, perchance, impossible—to say nothing
of the risk of producing spinal curvatures
and chest deformities in eitherscx. Fresh
air and opportunity for voluntar exercise
of the limbs are in the provin of every
mother to give, but are they regularly ac-
corded by a majority?
Use of drugs shouldbo scdulously avoided,
and yet there are mothers, countless in num—
ber, who, through ignorance, ply the
stomachs of their babes continuously, not
with the old time catnip and. mint teas only,
but with vile nostrunis, which, under the
seductive titles of soothing syrups and car-
, ininativcs, carry blunted sensibilities, dull-
ness, and ofttiines the germs of iinbccility,
and even death itself, in theirfirain. Poor
babes! must. they ever fill the role of vic-
tims? I fear, yes, till such time as women
rouse from their - lethargic mental condition
and shake off the shackles of ignorance,
through which these wholesale abuses rc-
inaiii possible. Experience and observation
alike point to the facts that most of the suf-
fcring incident to the period of early woman-
hood and its fixation (all too frequently for
life) is due to the neglect of mothers, who
allow their daughters to enter upon the most
important period of their lives, wholly unac-
is a good iiiiic for meetings and entertain 2 9““th With the nature 0f the changes
which are taking place in the economy, and

English mid American Manners.
No time can ever reconcile a cis-Atlantic
car to the lieartincss with which an otherwise
well bred English lady will talk frankly of
“tubbing” and of “cleaning herself.” It sug-
gests the complaint made by Lord Mel-
bourne of certain London beauties that they
gave him too much of their natural history.
I do not know any well educated Americans,
except one or two southern lady novelists,
who habitually use the word “nigger,” but
in llnglisfli literature and speech it seems uni-
versal. Froude employs it through all his
books of travel, and evpn so graceful a
writer asthc late Mrs. Ewing uses it in her
pretty stories. She also has the very offenv
sivc \‘v‘Ol't “stinking,” and one finds and hears
it everywhere; “As a rule,” writes James
Pnyn from London, in The New York Inde-
pendent, “I liato people that stink of
money.” So, in. ocicty, Americans are
constantly placed in the absurd position of
being lectured for .want of refined perception
by writers whose language and manners
ofl’ 11d us at every step.
‘ho highcstytho most gifted, are not free
from this offensiveness of language. When
Iheard the most eminent of English poets
say of some bad verse that it was “rot,” at a
time when that odious Angliclsm had not
yet crossed the Atlantic, it seemed to my
startled imagination as if the Venus of Milo
had opened her marble lips and had begun
to curse and swear. The trouble is that such
phrases reach us also very rapidly, and take
root among us like other weeds. No doubt
America furnishes some slang to England
also, and we often go to London to hear it
for the first time from cultivated lips. But
it must be remembered that pugilists and
circus riders are not here to be'found so fre—
quently in fastidious circles, and thus our
opportunities of picking up their flowers of
speech are more limited than in London,-—.-
The Forum.
One of France's Genet-:11...
Gen, Carrey de Bellemarc, one of the
officers who in the event of a war between
Germany and France are to command the
main divisions ofthe French army, is said to
have been the only commander who, on the
eve of the capitulation of Sedan, declared in
the council of war in favor of an attempt to
break through the German lines. It is related
that one of the generals who called upon him
after the council found him clad in pcasant’s
curb and busily engaged in removing his
WhISkers. “Well. what are you riding?"
askedhis visitor. “I don’t intend to go to
Germany,” replied Belhmare; “I am going to
Paris. Our time has come now ; we are going
to have the. republic." Bellemare repaired to
Paris and obtained it command in the army
- defending the capital—New York Post.
Marking the Choice l‘assages.
My father, a. learned educator and the
possessor of a library of some 3,000 vol-
umes, most of them original editions,
made it a practice to mark by underlining
such passages as appealed to him or con-
veyed a new idea. followed in his steps.
The contrast in our choice of passages
was amusing. Some thathc distinguished
often held no meaning for me. 80 through
many volumes are marks, side by side, '
but seldom the same. Further. on the’tl
leaf of every work I wrote out my crlt- .
cism or estimate of it. This practice I
found of great help ‘0 me in after years.
when I became litera‘r editor of a west-
ern 'ournal. I have a so made it a rule
to illustrate by pen drawings characters
and scenes in novels that ranked as prime
favorites. Where one is an artist, this
ractice enhances wonderfully the value
of his books. Whenever I see a. fair crit-
icism of a work by a reputable writer I
cli it out and paste it in. By following
on these several ideas I have trebled-tlio
value of my lar library—iii my own
eyes, at least—”III. W.” in The VVi-itcr.

1 AS WE AT TENNIS PLAYED.
She tossed her ball this way and that,
And shrieked whene‘er it strayed;
She wore a most coquettish hat.—
As we at tennis played.
No creature was to me so dear
As that 'same little maid;
I trembled now 'twixt hope and fear,
As we at tennis played.
My foolish heart went pita-pat,
And all its chances weighed;
1 whispered something ‘nenth that hat,
As we at tennis played.
The sweet reply came low and clear
Beneath that hnt’s broad shade;
We’ve fixed the day for just a year
Since we at tennis played.
~Edith Sessions Tupper in Outing.
A Traveler at Nassau.
Nearly a week was passed in reaching Nas-
sau; a week of dreamful idleness, of weird
experiences among my swarthy companions
and their strange acquaintances on key and
an island cove, of starry nights and balmy
winds lulling the senses tenderly. After such
an experience one grows to resent the touch
of land beneath the feet, even though all that
greets the eye Is quaint, interesting and lux-
uriant. All this is at Nassau and everywhere
behind, along the flower f girdled island
drives. It is simply Cuba, diminutivcly,
under better rule. There are a great hotel,
a touch of English aristocracy, a. horde
of invalids, an ancient flavor of architecture
and all forms and customs growing out of
human activities, or rather inactivitics:
white men and women who, under the influ-
ence of the narcotic tropical surroundings
live and inovo as in a dream; and 30,000
simple, guileless, half naked black folk so
sodden in inertia that mental activity implied
in dreams seems impossible. But that is all,
save the endless contemplation of God’s
unused, unappreciated prodigality of un~
sought provision of human necesities.——Ed-
gar L. \Vakeman in St. Louis Republic.
' , Cooling of! a. Tramp.
“I saw the first rehearsal of another new
‘tank dramn’ the other day," said the theat-
rical agent. “It was up on State street, at
the corner of Twenty-ninth, and I was pass-
ing on a car at the time. On one corner is
a saloon, and outside, on the sidewalk, there
was a trainpish looking individual who had
evidently been annoying the proprietor of
tno place. This proprietor, in shirt sleeves,
stood in the doorway, surrounded by a quar-
tet of friends, and was warning the tramp
off, He refused to move on, and suddenly,
as if at a preconcerted signal, the proprietor
and his four friends made a mad rush for the
interlopcr. Before he was fully aware of it
he was picked up bodily by his assailants,
there was asplash, a. volley of oaths, a wild
yell of derision, and the half drowned tramp
spluttered and blubbered as he climbed out
of the horse trough at the curbstonc. His
order and his clothes had both been seriously
dampened, and he plodded wearily down the
street, leaving a watery trail behind him.
He was not ambitions for an encore.”—Chi-
cago Herald.
Birds' Skin for Grafting.
Dr. Redard has communicated to the Paris
Academy of Medicine some observations re-
garding the advantages of the skin of birds
for grafts on wounds of human beings. He
takes the skin from beneath the wing of a
chicken, carefully securing the subjacent cel-
lular tissue, but avoiding the adipose tissue.
The transplanted tissues varied from a sixth
to a. third of an inch in size, and they' were
maintained in position by means of a little
cotton wool and 'iodoform gauze. The skin
of birds and. fowls has the advantage of be-
ing supple, delicate and vascular, and is
readily adapted to the surface of a wound,
where it adheres without undergoing absorp-
tion. In a case of severe hum of the scalp of
eight months' standing in a child two years
old he obtained rapid cicatrization by means
of grafts from n. fowl. The wound measured
1?. inches by 2%,, and completely healed
in two months—Boston Budget.
A Way to Keep Flowers.
Ata recent horticultural meeting flowers
were exhibited inaglass filled with water
and fitted with a wide and flat stopper. To
the stopper the flowers were attached and
then carefully introdflced into the water in
the globe, the stopper completely filling the
mouth of the globe and being wide enough
to stand safely. By turning the whole ar-
rangementsothat it stood on the stopper,
the flowers were left completely surrounded
by water. The water magnified the flowers
and a pleasing optical illusion is the result.
Flowers thus immersed will keep twice as
long as those in the aim—Detroit Free Press.
Strychnino vs. Alcohol.
According to recent experiments strychnine
undoubtedly neutralizes the intoxicating
and narcotic effects of alcohol. It enables
large quantities of alcohol to be taken for a
considerable stretch of time without causing
the usual organic lesions which follow the use
of alcohol alone. Therapeutically, strych-
nine should be used in all forms of alcohol-
ism; it may be regarded as a. powerful pro-
pihylactic against alcoholism—Frank Les-
es.
Talking to n Severed Head.
The experiment of talking to the ’severed
head of a victim of the guillotine immedi-
ately after the knife has fallen has been tried
over. again at Bone, France. The doctor
seized the head as it fell from the guillotine
and spoke a few words to it. He alleges that
from the movements of the man’s eyes and
month he is certain that the head understood
and tried to reply.—Chicago Herald.
Quick Fencing for Railways.
Railway companies in Australia, after ex—
perimenting with various kinds of “quick
fencing for railways, especially with a view
to keeping out snow drifts,” have settled
upon hedges of the “rose of Providence.” It
is said that a fence 6% feet high and 3%
thick will check snow drifts. The blossoms
are salable, and so the fence is profitable——
