The Claimant Again.

Mr.. Guildford Onslow and Mr.. An
thony Biddulph visited Arthur Orton,
the Tichborne claimant, in Dartmoor
prison, the other day, and in the even
ing they addressed small public meet
ing. Lord Rivers was absent, from in
disposition. Mr.. Biddulph said he was
more convinced than ever that the claim
ant was hi cousin, and in France,
Germany, and America there was con-
firmed belief that frightful miscarriage
of justice had taken place in the Itch
borne case. Mr.. Guildford Onslow said
the claimant, in his degradation, still
retained the manner of true-born gen.
tleman and the pride Of the Tichbornes.
The home secretary had refused Mr..
Biddulph an extension of time in his
visit, and he (M. Onslow) promised that
he should bring this crl1el treatment be.
fore the constituents of Mr.. Cross in
Lancashire, in the hope that they would
remember it against him at the next
election. The claimant was in far better
health than .Shey expected to find him
for on the last visit it looked as if all
hope had left him. . A great change
for the better had come over him, and
he was in good health and tranquil in
mind, not only in his knowledge Of his
innocence, but that his friends would
work till he was released. There was
no doubt that at the next general elec-
ton the Tichborne question would be
made q hustings cry, and he believedthe
result would be the release of the
claimant.

will sympathize with you"

Habits.

The most universal cause Of dyspepsia
is eating too often, too fast, and too
much. The general rules should be:
/. Eat thrice day.
2. Not al atom between meals.
8. Nothing after two o'clock but q
slice of cold bread and butter and one
cup of hot drink.
4. Spend half an hour at least in
taking each meal.
5. Out up all meats and hard food In
pea sized pieces.
6. Never eat enough to cause the
slightest uncomfortable sensation after
ward.
7. Never work or study hard within
half an hour Of eating.
The most universal and infalible in
dication that a person is becoming
dyspeptic is some uncomfortable sensa-
ton coming on uniformly after each
meal, whether that be in the stomach,
throat, or anywhere else. The forma-
tion of wind in the stomach, indicated
by eructation, belching, or other
wise, demonstrates that dyspepsia
is fixing itself in the system. Then
there is only one course to pursue, and
that is infallible eat less and less at
each meal until no wind is generated and
no uncomfortable sensation experienced
in any part of the body. No medicine
ever cured confirmed dyspepsia eating
plain food regularly and living out OF
doors industriously will cure most cases.

A Remarkable Egg Story.

Mr.. A. D. Warren, Of Worcester:
Mass, has remarkable production in
the egg line, which is attracting much
attention and causing considerable dis
cussion. Mr.. Warren is well known
poultry fancier, and his game bantams
have attracted q great deal of attention.
A day or two since he noticed that one
of his hens was in trouble, she having
the appearance of having had an egg
broken in her. She was accordingly
killed and opened, when a perfectly
formed egg, as large as goose egg,
was discovered. This upon being put
in the scales was found to weigh four
and three-fourths ounces. The egg was
then blown, and after the white and
yolk had been forced out it was found
that inside was second perfectly form
ed egg, which was also blown, and found
to contain a yolk and white in their
proper proportions. The only differ
ence between the outer shell and the
she'll of an ordinary egg is that it is ex-
ceeaingy brittle, and has to be handled
with the utmost care to prevent its
breaking. The hen was but two years
old, and weighed, before the egg Was
removed, two and one.half pounds.

Ivory.

To furnish the ivory which is i'm
ported into England alone, $4,000 ele-
plants have to be killed every year. The
best ivory comes from Zanzibar, the pro-
duct Of the African elephant; it is
opaque, soft, easy to work, and free
from cracks and other defects. That
from Ambriz, the Gaboon river, and
south of the equator, is called "silyer
gray :" it remains white, and never be-
comes yellow, as is the case with the
Asiatic ivory it is, therefore, the most
valuable OF any ivory in the market. The
tusks from Siam are translucent, and be-
ing soft grained, are preferred for orna-
mental work. The fossil tusks Of the
mammoths found in the Arctic regions
and Siberia, form a not inconsiderable
amount of the ivory trade; some OF
these tusks are in as fine a condition fol
working as the very best of modern
ivory, which is very remarkable, as some
of these elephants or mammoths have
been preserved in an ice crust, and have
remained inbedded for unknown ages.
probably since the glacial period-some
10000 years ago. If this is so, it goes
to show that the change of temperature
took place rapidly in then tropical eli
mate, where these animals previously
fourished, and overtaking them sud
denly, and covering them with an ict
crust, were the causes of their .perfec
preservation.

Pet Birds in the Woods.

A writer from Florida says: We wit
messed novel and beautiful sight few
days ago at the farm of Mrs. Hildreth on
the North river, about two miles above
the city. Mrs. Hildreth, in the course
of few months, has succeeded in tanning
the wild birds that fly about the place.
While we were in the house Mrs.
Hildreth went out to the door and called
to the birds, which were then, IN the
middle of the day, in the adjoining
forest. In a few moments dozen OF
more bluebirds and mocking birds came
Aying around her. She then came into
the house and handed each of our party
q raisin, which We were requested to
hold ont in our fingers. We remained
still for a few minutes, when the birds
hoped in at the door, flew upon oul
hands and picked the raisins from oul
fingers. We were astonished, and could
not help wondering the more when We
were informed that none Of these birds
had been Gagged, but were thus tanned
BY the gentleness and art of this lady.

! Education Of To-day.

The New York Times, editoriaIy
commenting on education, says the old
theory that students could not study too
much, even if their health suffered, has
been proved fallacious, as no amount of
culture will compensate for ruined con-
stitutions. It advocates the substitu-
ton of French and German for Latin
and Greek; denying the assumption
that the dead classics strengthen and
invigorate the mind more than the
standard literature of the day. 1t as
serts that the chief defects of educa-
ton, Just now, are in method and in
discrimination. Teaching is q rare gift.
Not one in hundred well instructed
persons can master it. They may have
abundance OF knowledge, without any
clear notion of how to impart it; the
talent for taking in and the talent for
giving out being in no wise kindred.
Teachers, for the most part, become
such from circumstances rather than
from fitness; more by accident than re-
Election. They adopt some old system
without examination, and for no other
reason than that it has been used before.
They Judge all their pupils alike, max
ing little or no allowancefor indiyiduali-
ty, difference of capacity or tempera-
mental bent. Consequently, mere
routine is established, and instruction
goes on from day to day, from week to
week, from month to month, after the
manner of asteadily ground organ which
plays half a dozen fixed tunes. The
aptitude or inaptitude of the pupils for
certain branches is not taken into &C
count. They are all Taught the same
thing, at the same time, in the same
way and each must do the best he can.
undor conditions generally unfavorable.
Education becomes mere formula,
which is mechanically gone through
with. What they should reason out
they learn by rote; what is designed
to develop their thinking faculty gets to
be 9 matter of memory; and 80 the sole
object in view is continually and abso-
lutely defeated.

Losing a Customer.

The following very Partisan story il
told by an exchange A wealthy bach
elor, who breakfasts every morning IL
one OF the most fashionable restaurants
of the Boulevard des Italiens, is, OF
rather was, very attentively served by q
waiter whose palm he generally crossed.
Of course the wealthy bachelor al~ays
had the same seat, seat by the window
looking on the ever animated boulevard,
hot plates, dishes served promptly, but
not too fast; in fine, Benedict had an
excellent servant. But, during the last
week, Benedict had been unable to get
the excellent servant; another servant
hangs around him, and tries his best to
supply all his wants, still the new face is
not the old face, and what ann9ys Bene-
dict most is, that he occasionally catches
glimpses of the old servant, who gives
him most sorrowful glances. Benedict
has examined the matter, and has dis.
covered that his old servant is addicted
to gambling. Ono evening, having lost
all his money, he staked his best Gus
tomer-Benedict-and lost him.

Going to the Bad.

About eight years ago Emmett, before
then negro minstrel, started out as a
"Dutch" comedian, and won popularity
and a fortune in q play called "Fritz.
He is said to have made $3.50, ,000in five
years, as his ability to draw large audi
ences enabled him to dictate terms with
managers. Drunkenness was one OF the
results of his success. During his last
engagement in New York city he was
often perceptibly intoxicated when on
the stage. A letter in the San Francisco
Post says that on the stage of the opera
house in Melbourne, Australia, he was
recently so drunk that he fell while try;
ing to dance, and soon afterward fell
asleep in the midst of scene. The
stage manager reused him and led him
behind tho scenes, and the audience de-
parted in disgust.

The Moon. a Dead World.

Among the illusions swept away by
modern science was the pleasant fancy
that the moon was habitable globe,
like the earth, its surface diversified
with seas, lakes, continents and islands,
and varied forms of vegetation. Theo:
logians and savants gravely discussed
the probabilities of its being inhabited
by race of sentient beings, with forms
and faculties like our own, and even
propounded schemes for opening COM
munication with them, in case they ex-
listed. One of these was to construct
on the broad highlands of Asia series
of geonetrical figures on a scale so gi-
gantic as to be visible from our planetary
neishbor, on the supposition that the
moon people would recognize the OBJ
ject, and Immediately construct similar
figures in reply, extravagant and absurd
as it may appear, but the discussion was
kept up at intervals, urtil it was dis
covered that if there were people in the
moon they must be able to live without
breathing or eating or drinking. Then it
ceased.
There, can be no Life without air.
Beautiful to the eye OF adistant Observer
the moon is sepulchral orb-a world of
death and silence. No vegetation
clothes its vast plains of stony desola-
ton, traversed by monstrous crevices,
broken by enormous peaks that rise like
gigantic tombstonesint space; no lovely
forms of cloud float in the blackness of
its sky. The daytime is only night
lighted by rayless sun. There is no
rosy dawn in the morning, no twilight in
the evening. The nights are pitch dark.
In daytime the solar beams are lost
against the jagged ridges, the sharp
points of the rocks, of the steep sides of
profound abysses; and the eye sees only
grotesque shapes relieved against fantas.
tic shadows black as ink, with none of
that pleasant gradation and diffusion Of
light, none Of the subtle blending of
light and shadow, which makes the
charm of terrestrial landscape. There
is no color, nothing but dead white and
black. The rocks reflect passively the
light of the sun; the eraters and abysses
remain wrapped in shade; fantastic
peaks rise like phantoms in their glacial
cemetery; the stars appear like spots in
the blackness of space. The moon is a
dead world; she has no atmosphere.

Maximls Of the Chinese.

It is the rich who want most things.
Great souls have wills; others only
feeble wishes.
When song gives much fame virtue
gives very little.
All is lost when the people fear death
less than poverty. -.
He who lets things be given to him is
not good at taking. o..
Who is the greatest liar. He who
speaks most of himself. " i.'- '."''
The court is like the sea ea-everything
depends upon the wind. .... -: 49,.
One forgives everything to him who
forgives himself nothing. .. ...
The tree overthrown by the wind has
more branches than roots. = ..l. -
Receive your thoughts as guests and
treat your desires like children.
J. One never needs ones wits so much
as when one has to do with fool. u,.
For him who does everything in it's
proper time one day is. worth three.
He who wishes to secure the good Of
others has already secured his own.
A fool never admires himself so much
as when he has committed some folly.
The less indulgence one has for ones
self the more one may have for others.
Towers are measured by their shadow,
and great men by those who are envious
of them.
At court people sing that they may
drink; in village people drink that they
may sing.
The dog in the kennel barks t his
heas, but the dog who is hunting does
not feel them.
We must do quickly what there is no
hurry for, to be able to do slowly what
demands haste.
The truths that we least wish to hear
are those which it is most to our advan-
tage to know.
What pleasure it is to give There
would be no rich people if they were
capable OF feeling this.
The way to glory is through the pal
ace, to fortune through the market, to
virtue through the desert. .....
Who is the man most insupportableto to
us? He whom we have offended and
whom we can approach with nothing.
The prison is shut night and day, yet
it is always full; the temples are always
open, and yet you find no one In them.
The rich find relations in the most
remote foreign countries; the POOR not
even in the bosom of their own families.
Whoever makes a great fuss about
doing good does very little; he who
wishes to be seen and noticed when he
is doing good will not do it long; hewho
mingles humor and caprice with it will
do it badly; he who only thinks of avoid
ing faults and reproaches will never &C.
uuire virtues.

How to Treat Children.

To gain obedience, you must first set
vourself to deserve it. Whatever you
promise your little one, however small
the thing seems to you, and whatever
trouble It costs you, perform it. Never
let the doubt once enter that innocent
mind that you say what you do not
mean, or will not act up to what you
say. Make as few prohibitory laws as
YOU possibly Can, but, once made, keep
them. In what is granted as in what
is denied, compel yourself, however
weary or worried or impatient, to ad'
minister always even-handed justice.
This is a system much more likely te
secure your child's resi- affection than al
the petting and humoring so generally
indulged in, to give pleasure or save
trouble, not to your little ones, but tt
