WEALTH OF BRITIsH ARIsTocRACY.-
Large farm rs eat up small ones. The
Duke of Bcdford's estate includes, or in
cludod, a mile square in the heart of Lon
don, where the British Museum. once
Montague House, now stands, and the
land occupied 10y Woburn Square, Bed
ford Square, Russell Square. The Mar
quls OF Westminster built, within a few
years, the series of squares called Bel
gravia. Stafford House is the noblest
palace in London. Northumberland
House holds lis place by Charing Cross.
Chesterfield House remains in AudIey-
street. Sion House and Holland House
are IN the suburbs. But most of the his
torIcal houses are masked or lost in the
modern uses to which trade or charity
has converted them. \ multitude oflown
palaces contain InestImable galleries Of
art. In the country, the size of private
estates Is more impressive. From Bar
nard Castle | rode on the highway TWEEN
ty-three miles from High Force, towards
Darlington, past Raby Castle, through
the estate Of the Duke of Cleveland.
The Marquis of Breadalbpne rides out of
his house hundred miles, In a STRAIGHT
line, to the sea, on his own property
The Duke of Sutherland owns the coun-
ty of Sutherland stretching across Scot
land from sea 10 sea.
The Duke of Devonsbire, besides his
other estates, OWNS ninetv-six thousand
acres IN the county of Derby. The Duke
OF Richmond has forty thousand acres at
Goodwood, and three hundred thousand al
Gordon Castle. The Duke of NorfoIk's
park IN Sussex is fifteen miles In Circuit
An agrlcuiturlst bought lately the Island
OF Lewes, IN Hebrides, containing five
hundred thousand acres. The possessions
OF the Earl OF LonsdaIe gave him eight
seats IN Parliament. This is the Hen.
tarchy again; and before the reform of
1882, one hundred and fiftv-four persons
sent three hundred and seven members 10
Parliament. The borough mongers gov
erned England. These large dominions
are growing larger. The great estates
are absorbing the small freeholds. In
1855, the soil of England was owned by
two hundred thousand corporations and
proprletors; and in 1922, by thirty-two
thousand. These broad estates find room
on this narrow island. All over England
scattered at short intervals among ship
yards: mines and FORCES, are the paradi-
Ses OF the noble, where are lifelong re-
pose ana refinement, heightened bv the

Checked Presentation.

! There are two kinds of persplrator,
sensible and insensible. When we see
drops of water on the surface OF the body
as the result of exercise, or sabsidence OF
fever, that is sensible persplratlon, perspl-
ration recognized by the sense Of sight.
But when perspiration is SO gentle t!:at 1t
cannot be detected in the shape of water
drops. when no moisture can be felt, when
it is known to US only by certain soft
ness of the skin, that is insenslble perspi-
ration. and is so gentle that 1t may be
checked TO a very considerable extent
without special injury. But 10 use popu-
lar language which cannot be mistaken,
when man is sweating freely, and it is
suddenly checked, and the sweat Is not
brought out again IN very few moments,
sudden and painful sickness Is very GER
tain result.
What, then, checks perspiration! A
draft of air while we are at rest, after
exercise, or getting the clothing wet and
remaining at rest while 1t is so. Getting
out Of a warm bed and going to an open
window or door, has been the death OF
multitutes.
a lady heard the cry of fire at mid
night; II was bitter cold 1t was so near,
/ the flames Illuminated her chamber
She left the bed, hoisted the window, the
cold chilled her IN moment. From that
/ hour until her death, a quarter of u CEN
fury later. she never saw a well day.
/ A young lady went TO her window In
her night clothes to look at something in
( the street, leaning her unprotected arms
on the stone wInaoW-sill, which was damp
and cold. She became an invalid, and
will remain so for life.
/ Sir Thomas Colby being in a profuae
sweat one night, happened to remember
that he had left the key of his wine eel
lar on the parlor table, and, fearing his
servants might improve the inadvertance
and drink some OF his wine, he left his
I bod, wax ID down stairs, the sweating
I process was checked, from which he died
In few days, leaving six millions Of dol
I lars In English funds. His illness was so
I brief and violent that he had no opportu-
nlty to make his will, and his immense
property was divided among five or six
! day-laborers who were his nearest rela-
tives.
The great practical lesson which we
wish tJImpress upon the mind of the read
er Is this: When you are perspiring free
/ ly, keep in motion until you get to a good
fire, or to some place where You are per-
fectly sheltered from any draft of air
/ whatever.
The above is from Halls Journal of
Health, and We cannot but commend il TO
general attention. There are but few
persons, we believe, who cannot recall
some case within their own observations
OF violent colds. consumption and prema-
ture death, caused by perspiraton being
suddenly checked. We have known many
such cases ourselves. No one requires
to be Informed that checked perspiraton,
IS oftenumes the cause of disease; but
there are 50 many who are liable to for
get or overlook this fact, that it is good
and necessary to give frequent warming
/ like the above.-Scientific American.

ADVICE FOR THE SEASON.

Take good incoming" these hot days
for yourself, your hands, and your teams.
Let it be good hour, besides the dinner
time. This rule, observed during the
hottest days-always excepting the
times when a threatening rain endan-
gers the hay or grain-wiIl give heart
and courage to you all. 1t will save
some of you from sickness, and enable
you all TO do more work, and come out of
1t with less wear and tear of vital power.
Now is a fine time During the hot
weather we mean,) to study some points
IN architecture and home comfort. The
parlor is on the southwest corner of the
house. Three windows, without curtain,
or blinds, let in whole volcano of sum.
mer beams. No shade trees shield the
walls, no verandah spreads cooling sba
dow over the door steps. All these ar,
matters of thought. Tell your hired MAJ
or your son to plan his house differently
Bet good example, by remedying thes
evils as fully, as fast as you can. Tbes
are only hints. Think as far and as wide
ly as on please in the same direction

Martin Van Buren,, free soiler of
1S4S, is going for Mr.. Buchanan because,
as he says, if he honestly redeems his
pledges he must make Kansas a free
state, and carry out the Buffalo doctrines.
Thus he is pig, or puppy, just according
to which side of the line he happens TO
be.
This has become altogether too fimsey
a dodge to gull the American people in
this contest. Hence the uncomfortable
mob" are going for Fremont as an entire
relief from all this dishonest quibling.-
We repeat, this is not blind, headlong
rabble that is carrying Fremont triumph
antly to the White House. Never had a
people greater reason on their side.
But is there safety in John C. Ere
mont? Safety the whole history of his
life shows him to be an honest and pat
riotic man. There is no faint or blot upon
his fair fame, This his opponents virtu-
ally acknowledge when they fail to bring
a single accusation against him worthy of
one moments notice. The only charge
they have yet laid their hands or is, that
he ran off with Jessie Benton, and was
married by Catholic priest! And is
this a crime to be handled about hu sub
lime politicians A crime! Why, we
congratulate him for his success, and the
nation will love Jessie for her love OF
him, and her heroism is giving herself to
the man of her choice in spite Of pater-
nal frowns. And as it is now given in
that this is his only weakness, or unfit
ness, it is enough. He must be qualified
for any post in the gift of a free people
who believe in the blissful rite Of mar
riage. We trust him, and the people
will trust him. If elected he viii re
