The loss of the immense steamship, the ViIIe
du Havre, With two hundred souls, by collision
with another vessel in mid-ocPan, shows the
urgent necessity that some definite. highways
across the Atlantic should be mapped, to be
Travelled by vessels going in either direction, on
the plan of dOuble-track railroads. The Gu
nard steamers have been in the practice of fol-
lowing such distinct tracks with admirable re-
suits in the way Of security to life and property;
but in order TO prevent any chance for collision,
1t is necessary that all ocean-going steamers
should be required to follow the resul ated
course. The establishment of such oceanic
highways should be an international affair, and
should be undertaken without delay.

The appearance of Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe In Washington in readings from her
story of "Uncle Toms Cabin" recalls the re-
markable furore created by that work on its
first appearance. IL was written originally in
weekly chapters for a paper in this city, the
National Era, published by Gamaliel Bailey,
and ran through the numbers Of the Era from
June 5, 1851, TO April l, 1882. On its appear
ance IN book form the sale in the United States
reached 100 600 in eight weeks, 100 900 within a
year, and 313, 600 by April %, 1886. Thirty edi-
tons were published in London in six months,
and more copies of 1t have been sold in Eng
land than any other book except the Bible and
Prayer Book. Transitions have appeared in
French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Swedish,
Danish, Portuguese, Italian, Welsh, Russian,
Polsh, Magyar, WeDdish. Wallchian, Armen-
ian, Arabic, Romantic, and il is said there are
versions in Chinese and japanese. The num-
bers OF il printed throughout the world can only
he estimated by millions. IL has also been
drsmatizsd in some thirty different versions,
and in half as many languages.
Mrs. Stowe as born IN Litchfeld, Connecti-
cut, in 1872, and is consequently about 81 years
of age, though on the lecture platform she
looks not much more than half that age. As a
reader her voice is hardly strong enough TO be
effective throughout large hall, but to those
within her range her delineation of New Eng
land character, more especially, is deliciously
true and enjoyable; all the more so from its
avoidance Of the exaggerated stage burlesque
of Yankee parts, with its twang and drawl.
She is little woman, OF erect but rather pleas
ing figure, and a face not exactly handsome, but
attractive from its mobility and from the arch
ness and humOr that lights it up when she
smiles, which she il quite apt TO do in sympathy
with the audience, at drOll points.

The designation by the President of Attorney
General Williams TO the Supreme bench will,
from all indications, be well received by the
country. Judge Williams stands well with the
lawyers, and while in the Senate he took high
rank as a statesman. He was bOrnin Columbia
county, y. V, in the year 1923, and was admit
ted to the bar in 1Sii. In the same year he emf
grated to Iowa, where he prospered well in
the practice of his profession that in 1871 he was
elected judge of the first judicial district Of that
state He went into politics, and in 1852 was a
Presidential electOr on the democratic ticket
President Pierce subsequently appointed him
chief Justice of Oregon territory. He resigned
that Office in 1867, and devoted himself to the
practice OF law. occasionally taking a hand in
territorial politics. He was a member of the
convention that formed the state constitution
OF Oregon, and was elected as a Senator from
that state for the term commencing March 3,
1850. He took position with the republicans as
early as 1s60. In the Senate he stood in the
front rank OF the advanced republicans, and
favored al the great measures for the enfran-
chisement of the colored people which have
since been Incorporated into the Consultation
and laws. There need be 10 fear that as Chief
Justice he will assist IL unsettling the wsrk of
reconstruction.

1t strikes US that the republicans, in voting in
caucus last night to repeal the salary grab,
while the democrats in their caucus refused to
do so, have made point against their oppo-
nents. The republican party seems, after all,
to retain the common sense faculty that enables
1t to retreat from blundering positions and hold
the confidence of the country.

Flowers and Health.

NATURE, the mother of all, is kind.
Her children are her darlings, and she
lavishes upon them whatever is best for
their bodies and souls. The air that vital
ICES and inspires, and the water that re
treshes and teammates, she pours out IN
vast oceans around us. In cities, man too
much departs from her ways, and escapes
from her kindness. He impoverishes him
self, often, by shutting out the free gift of
nature with his artificial wealth.
If there were more flowers in the city
the city would be healthier. Beautiful
sentinels of life and health are the sweet
scented and blooming flowers. Their
odors often ncutralize the poisons that in
feet the atmosphere, and are natures own
medicinal prcventives and prophylactics.
There is popular belief that sun-f flow
ers growing around dwellings have ten
dency to prevent fever and ague. State
ments in affirmation of this belief have
been published in the newspapers from
time to time. Recent scientific investiga-
tions have shown that this popular idea
has a valid foundation. Ozone lisa highly
important element in healthy atmos-
phere, and 1t was proven years ago that
an unusually Slight amount of ozone in
the atmosphere is associated with the
prevalence OF certain levers, Oh cnOlera,
and Of similar epidemic diseases
Professor Mantegazza has discovered
that ozone is developed by certain odor-
Gus flowers. A recent writer makes the
statement that strongly fragrant vegetable
essences, such as those of mint, cloves,
| lavender, lemon and cherry laurel develop
very large quantity of ozone when in
contact with atmospheric oxygen, in the
| light Flowers destitute Of perfume do
not develop it, and generally the amount
of ozone seems to be in proportion to the
strength of the perfume exhaled. Pro
tessor Mantegazza recommends that, in
marshy districts, and in places infected
with noXiOus exhalations, strongly scented
flowers should be planted around the
house, in order that the ozone emitted by
them may exert its powerful oxidizing in
f1uence.
This plan for increasing the salubrity of
the atmosphere is certainly very pleas
ant and practicable one. The large size
and strong odor of the suntiower render it
one of the best for such a salutary influ-
ence. 1t is an easy and delightful task to
surround our dwellings with flowers
They contribute wonderfully to the max
ing of home loveable and happy. They

dren, and inspire them with love of the
pure, the beautiful and the good. tr11e
lover OF flowers is never bad person
Your voiceless lips, O. Flowers, are living preach
ers. 9
Each cup pulpit, every leaf book
These considerations alone should
prompt every one to grow flowers, but
When we consider thai they may, and
doubtless generally do, contribute in an
important degree to the healthtulness of
our dwellings,, even the most sordid should
ma an lnducement to their cultivation.
Another popular belief, not as well
founded, is that plants in dwellings, are
injurious to health, especially in sleeping
rooms. We frequently find statements in
inc newspapers cautioning people in re
caro- 10 me danger OF having plants in
sleeplng-apartments. Some physicians
nave encouraged this bugbear by telling
people that at night plants give out car
bonlc acid which is poisonous TO animal
life, and that, if we sleep in rooms where
plants are kept, we are liable to inlaIe
this gas and get sick This seems like
very plausible plant-chomistry, but is I'M
doubleday talacious. There is no reason
for believing that carbonic acid is poison
Gus. 1t will not support animal life-that
IS, Il person would drown in it, or in water,
Tor want OF the necessary oxygen, but
that does not prove that either is poison

Ter class OF men can be found than green

to make them believe that plants are in
any way injurious to their health. In fact.
they entertain quite the contrary opinion.
They spend much Of their time in the
greenhouse, and, during the winter cs
pcclally, the night time. It is then, when
the fires need looking to, that the green
house is their sitting-rOom, and very fire.
quently their sleepingroom The floor is
just the place to inhale the gas, as it is

4 Noble Art.

ONCE | remembered among my friends
a lady who had known many Affections
cares and heart-griefs, and vet, whose,
brightness of demeanor and cheerfulness
were unf1agging, whose very presence was
a sunbeam. This lady talked often of her
art. When praised for any striking course
Of action, she would reply with touching
simplicity: Yes, | learned that from my
art' -
AS child / often wondered what this
| art could be; growing older | set myself
TO work to lind out. 1t was not the art of
music, passionately fond as she was Of that
divine art, and on SO lofty a pedestal as
she placed it; for, being somewhat at
home within its magic realms myself, (
knew that she was not sufficiently skilled
therein to designate it as her own; nor
| was it the art Of painting, nor yet Of sculp-
ture.
Miss Margaret" | inquired one day,
what is your art:' -
A sweet smile fitted across her face,
as she touchingly asked for reply, And
| have | so poorly eXemplitied it all these
| years that you need ask?''
Il am sure, now" cried |, that it is, af-
| ter all, what has often suggested itself to
my mind, The art of making the most of
life.
| you are right she answered, we'll
| pleased land this I consider the greatest
Of arts-all others are sent to earth to aid
US in perfecting it."
This made deep impression upon me,
one that [ have never forgotten Since
then | have become an observer in life,
and have frequently had occasion to mar
vel how few comprehend or endeavor to
live by this art Many fields of science
and art are open to those whose talents
guide them into such directions; but this
one field is open to all, and they who best
make use Of their own individual talents
are best fitted to enter nobly upon it. To
make the most of life, we must court the
sunshine There is sorry enough given
| into every human life without our needing
to cling to each separate grief, and gloat
over its memory. By holding fast to the
sunbeams that stray across our paths, we
can accomplish marvels in the way of
| lighting up the dark places of life There
is much to enjoy, much to make one hap
Ply in this beautiful world, despite its cares
and bitternesses, and our highest duty to
ourselves, as well as to those who sur
round US, is to make the most and the
best of life, and to be as happy as we
| can.
| The next stage of existence lies stretched
| before Us as an unknown sea; that it will
| be fuller grander, more complete than this
| every instinct of our nature teaches us to
| believe-otherwise we know nothing of
its requirements. The present, however,
is ours; we know its duties and needs;
| we know that the more We struggle to full
fiji those the stronger we grow, the more
good we can accomplish. We know, too
that the good God never gave us intellect
without purposing that we should use it
and make the best of it, as of all else with
which He has endowed us. Undoubtedly,
therefore, they who best grasp 1.-The art
of making the most of Life" will be best
fitted for the requirements of another state
of being when called to enter upon it
