AN ORDER OF CRIMINALs.-Gon. Cham
berlin, warden OF the Massachusetts, State
prison, in his evidence before the legisla-
tive prison committee, week ago, said:-
"I know from my own knowledge that
there exists in the city of Boston regular
ly organized society OF criminals, with a
president, vice president, secretary and
treasurer. This society has a regular form
of admitting members. The prison he has
graduated from, his ofense, with lnforma-
tion in regard to the prison, are all duly
recorded. The society discusses the most
approved plans for burglary, tools, equip
msnts, etc. they also keep regular regis
ter of the best criminal lawyers in the
country, and of the judges OF the courts,
aud they know at once what the prospects
are for a brother criminal. II his case
comes before what they call "a hard judge
they raise money TO secure pOstponement
of the case. They also have fund for mu-
tual support and protection, and through
this source they are often able to send deli
caoieS TO their brethren when sick In the
prison hospital"

MEssRs. d. APPLETON & Co. have issued
very handsome steel engraving in line
and stipple, of "Charles Dickens in his
study at Gadshill." The engraving is by
s, Hollyer, and the possessor of copy is
to be congratulated. The work is finely
done. The figure of the author whose
works have SO delighted thousands, is
placed beside his desk in an easy attitude;
the face pictures him in deep thought, and
there is somewhat of sad look about the
countenance. The accessories aud incident
ais TO the picture are all nicely drawn, and
from the open window waving trees can be
seen, and, 1t seems, the mild June air can
almost be felt. The engraving is Que which
should be in every household where Dick
ems and his memory is loved-that Is, in
every home in the land. This engraving
is issued as handsome gin to every new
subscriber OF Appleton's Journal for one
year, for $500 or $3.50 when the magazine
is subscribed for in monthly parts. To
none but subscribers will the engraving bo
issued. The magazine itself will be made
more attractive than ever this year, the
corps OF contributors being much extend
ed and including long list of many OF the
best known writers in America and Eu-
rope.

The faithful days work, in the field, the
workshop, at the forge, in the kitchen or
the factory, is far more honorable, useful
aud elevating than that of the schemiug
politician or tho flushed and eager specu-
lator, who counts his votes or his gains by
the thousands, but whose labors add moth
ing TO the prosperity, happiness or virtue
OF the community.
1t Is certainly important for each one 10
find his own sppolnted work in the world,
that which he loves best, as far as practical
BILE; but it is folly TO sit down supnely
and give way to despair and lethargy
because he imagines he ought TO occupy a
more prominent or important post. Nine
tenths of the changes made under this de-
lusion prove 10 be for the worse instead of
the better. Tho character and capacity that
fail of success In the one case fail yet more
signally in the other. Froude well says
"You cannot dream yourself into charac-
ter-you must hammer and forge yourself
one;" and it is only by laying hold ear
nestly and vigorously of the work that lies
nearest to us, and raising its value by put
ting into 1t all the yigor and energy, all the
patien CO and fidelity, all the thought and
ability we eau command, that we have any
right to expect success in any of its mean
ings.

Hon. ZACH CHANDLER, the U. S. Secre-
tary Of The Interior, man six feet high
and sixty years old, has fearfully red aud
Scared face. Seventeen years ago Mr..
Chandler finished and moved into an ele-
CANT house in Detroit, Mich, and on the
first evening gas leak was dlscov cred, and
as his daughter was going into a closet,
from which the smell came, having light
in her hand, he saw the danger aud placed
himself in front of her. The next moment
an explosion occurred. Portions OF his lips
had 10 be cut away, and the loss of his eye
sight was feared, and year passed before
Zacharlah Chandler was seen on the streets
OF Detroit again. No one could recognize
him except by his voice and immense
frame. His face, once full, round aud mus
cular, was shrvcled and musclelCss. His
heavy jaw, indicative of his tirmness of
purpose, was almost without shred OF
flesh.

WINTER WIATHER.-In view of the ex-
traordlnarily mild weather Of the present
winter, some one has been investlga Eating
the records OF the past, with the following
result. In 175l, January 18th, the frost
was entirely out of the ground, February
was like spring, and winter ends Won
der through the whole" In 1756, in jan
uary, the fish, as they are reported to have
done this year, "struck in," from the sea,
the weather being SO warm. February
was delightful, and March clustering, but
soft as May. In the year 1865, Feb. 9th,
the New York Gazette and Post Boy re-
ports that "last Thursday the weather was
so uncommonly warm that young lads
went into the river to swim" In l772 the
temperature was so high in England that
leaves came out on the trees in January,
aud birds Matched their broods in Februa-
ry. In 1889 The weather was equally mild,
and the maidens of Cologne wore wreaths
OF violets and corn flowers on Christmas
and on Twelflh Day. Going still further
back, in l421, the trees lowered in the
month of March, and the vines in April.
Cherries ripened in the latter month and
grapes appeared in May. In 1872, the trees
were covered with leaves in January, and
the birds hatched their young in February,
as in l772; in l775 this same thing was re.
peated and it is added that the corn was in
the ear at Easter. There was in France
neither snow nor frost throughout the
Winters of 1888, 1907, 1909, 1917, 1859. FL
nally, in 1872, even in the north of Germa-
ny, the stoves were not lighted, and the
trees Powered in February. The Winter
of 1887 3S was one of lamb-like gentleness,
so much so that vessels navigated Lake
Erie every week of the season. Seven
years previously the weather WAS extreme
ly mild. Farmers could plough almost
any day. Maple sugar was made in Feb
ruary.

No REsT.-Science teaches US that the
crust of our earth is perpelually moving,
and that the sea level is constantly chang
ing. Our globe has its daily rotation ON its
axis and lis yearly revolution around the
sun. The sun, with all its satellites,
sweeps on toward \ moving point in the
constellation Hercules. Every so-called
fixed star is in motion. Fifty thousand
years ago the constellation of the Great
Bear or Dipper was starry cross hun
dred thousand years hence the imaginary
Dpper will be upside down, and the stars
which form the bowl and handle will have
changed places. The misty nebule are
moving, and besides are whirling around
in great spirals, some one way, some aroth-
er. Every molecule of matter in the whole
Universe is swinging to and fro; every
particle of ether which fills space is in
jelly-like vibration. Light is one kind Of
motion, heat another, electricity another,
magnetism another, sound another. Every
human sense is the result OF motion; every
perception, every thought is but motion of
the molecules Of the brain translated by
that incomprehonsible thing we call
"mind." The processes Of growth, OF ex-
istOnce, of decay, whether in worlds or in
minutest organisms, are but motion.

John is extravagantly fond OF corn pop
ped in lard, a dish his mother used to &C
up, ho says, but II smokes aud scents uI
the house, and smlrches up the range Sc
that 1t Is seldom he is allowed TO indulge
his liking but Monday night popped 8
big china bowl full, scattered the almost
inperceptlbe particles OF morphine over
the creamy-white puffs OF corn, and then
sprnkled on the salt. This, with dish oI
cold tea placed on Johns bureau. The
trap caught. John stayed in his study
writing until o'clock a. m, then he came
up, undressed, and went to bathc his face
in cold water, for lie Is as careful of his
complexion as fashionable belle. As he
stepped along in front of the mirror, towel
in hand, he spied the corn and uttered an
ejaculation Of pleasure.
at is just what l was wanting, little
sleeping wife,"
My conscience did smte me as he pleas
antly came along with the lamp in one
hand, tue tray with the lunch in the other,
and the last Scribner under his arm, pre-
pairing TO read and eat himself to sleep as
usual. It's what lie always does, so don't
mind ii much. 1t dou't seem to hurt him
either. l actually knew him TO cure collie
once by eating a hearty lunch, let medical
or lay pessimists say what they may. But
when began TO hear the corn crisping be-
tween his teeth 1t so grated ON my nerves
that l said TO myself, "If the morphine
proves too strong, I'll make sure my sec
Ind husband is not such a night-prowler,
and doesn't take his last meal betwe cen the
sheets"
This conceit so amused me that soon
fell asleep to awake with the dawn, to find
my liege lord lying in a dreamloss slum-
Der. arose softly, darken the room as
much as possible, and repaired down stairs.
1t was the longest day | don't know how
many people called for John, and had to
say he was engaged" At night, after the
polls were closed, l ran up to our room,
opened the windows, and awoke him.
AS breakfa ready7" he cried, spring
ing up, II don't feel as IL had been asleep
at all, but have lots to do to-day"
Coffee will set you up" l said kissing
him, "comc, hurry down." and away
ran to the dining-room, where the table
was set as il for break fast. But instea of
steak, potatoes, toast and eggs in the COW
cred dishes, l had rice cooked in a variety
of wsys-balls, fritters, omelettes, pudding
and pie; nothing but rice served in every
form my ingenuity could devise. John is
very fond of the farinaceous vegetable, SO
he laughed, said II was a pretty conceit, but
"no go" ale and made merry, interspers-
ing his clat with CALCULATIONS about the
storm that was "certaiuly brewing, tho
morning was so dark"
The denouement came sooner than | ex-
pected or had intended, for papa, getting
anxious and coming in just then, somehow
itall came out. John was angry just a min
ute, but forgave me quickly when he saw
looked grieVed. He had no business en-
gage ments Of Importance for that day, so
no harm came from the whole affair. Tom
acknowledged himself fairly beaten, and
the next day l went down to Jordan &
Marsh's TO be fitted. Long live Rice!

The CUCUMBER IN RUssIA.-Wbat the
onion is to the Spaniard, or the potato to
the Irishman, that the cucumber is 10 the
native Russian. 1t is the indispensable
part of every Russian peasants every
meal. In the account of his trip up the
Volea TO the great far of Mini Novgorod,
Mr.. Munro Butler Johnstone remarks the
profusion of watermelons and cucumbers
everywhere offered for sale, At the fair
aud on the road thither, pyramids of mel
ons, like cannon balls in an arsenal, were
heaped up in every direction and as for
cucumbers, one couldn't help thinking that
a plague of cucumbers, like locusts, had
descended upon the earth. All along the
Volga, from Astrakhan TO Mini, the whole
population seemed engaged in eating wa
termelons, which were sold for three CO.
PEGS, equivalent TO two cents. At every
station the trade in melons was rivallcd
only by the traffic in sunflowers. But If
the watermelon and sunhower are luxuries
and pastimes, the cucumber is a law and
necessity. One never sees Russian peas
ant at dinner without a lump of black bread
and a cucumber. "a moujick's dinner
may be said to consist of plus cucumber"
The will consist of his fsvoritc cabbage
soup, with or without meat in it, and some
times, in addition to it, the famous grit
porridge; sometimes the soup is without
the potridge, sometimes the porridge with
out the soup, but in either case the cucum-
ber is always there; and should equal
zero, then the ever-faithful cucumber does
duty for all the rest. In the hot and arid
regions OF Southern and Southwestern Asia
these succulent vegetables are highly ap-
and cool, they cannot but be always re-
freshing where water is a rarity but in a
climate like that OF Russia the cucumber is
the last thing one would expect Tor ma
tional dish.

THE HOME OF WASHINGTON, at Mt. Ver-

the arrival of visitors to the Centennial Ex-
position, aner plans drawn by Newark
architect, who is now engaged iu drawing
plans of the entire building, SO that in case
OF the destruction of the building 10y fire, II
may be rebuilt exactly as 1t now stands.
The building is about eighty-five years old,
and the wear and tear of that long term
has proved too much for the pine. The
main building and wings are in excellent
condition, and the grounds are kept in good
order. Several Of the rooms in the house
are furnished. The place is cared for by Col.
Holllngsworth of Washington, the greater
portion Of whose time is passed on the
homestead. The place is owned by the La
