Evening Damps.

One more fruitful cause of disease re-
mains to be noted, and that is, excess
i've diurnal changes of temperature.
The range of the thermometer from
MONDAY TO morning is not only great
er in the country, but the heavy dews
consequent upon this render the chang
es more perceptible and less easily re-
sisted by the human system. During
the day the heat is felt more severely
than in the city, where shelter during
exercise is obtainable for most of the
day, and when evening comes on with
its cool breezes, incautious persons ex-
pose themselves with little or no addi-
tional clothing. They came into the
country to be comfortable they say,
and they ride or sit in the open air till
thoroughly cooled if not slightly chill
ed. At the same hour on the next day
they are again chilled, and so on until
intermittent fever or some one of its
kindred diseases so cordially invited,
steps in and takes full possession. We
by no means repudiate the malarial
origin of these diseases, but we do say
that such a course of conduct strongly
predisposes the system to the influence
of that dread unknown destroyer.
Such checks of preparation are also
frequent causes of intestinal diseases,
more frequent than any other; as is no
toriously seen in the great prevalence
of dysentery and kindred disorders
when the contrast between the tempera-
ture of night and day is most marked.

Goldoni.

After Oliver Goldsmith, do not know
any figure i'm the history of literature
that should take the gentle readers lik-
ing more than the Italian comic drama
fist, Carlo Goldoni. These two charm
ing writer's are not unlike i'm certain
particulars of their lives. They were
both children of that easy-going eigh-
teenth century, of the period before its
griefs began with the French revolu-
ton, and as Irishman and Venetian
they might very naturally have been
allied in temperament; the American
traveller is nowhere more vividly re-
minded of a certain class of adaptive
fellow -citizens than in Venice. More
over, they had both the vagabondizing
instinct, and were aesthetic wanderers,
Goldsmith all over Europe, and Goldo-
mi up and down Italy, to die after many
years self-exile in France. They were
alike in their half-education for the
medical profession, and alike in aban-
doning that respectable science for the
groves of Academe, not to say Bohemia
Goldoni, indeed, left the law and sew
eral other useful and grave employ
ments for these shades which are not
haunts of flowery ease, after all. But
these authors are even more alike i'm
certain engaging qualities Ofmind than
in their external circumstances. Ii the
English essayist was vastly higher i'm
the theory than in the conduct of life,
and tried to teach in his comedies puri-
ty, good faith and other virtues which
were fOolishness to most of the world
by whose favor he must live. He re-
sembled Goldsmith in the amiability of
his satire, the exquisite naturalness of
his characterization, the simplicity of
his literary motives; but he was no
poet, though a genius, and he falls fur
ther below Goldsmith in this rather
than in respect of the morality he
taught. Perhaps DIR. GOldsmi<h would
have been but little pleased to be COM
pared with the Venetian dramatist, if
the comparison had been made in his
lifetime, for if he ever heard of Goldoni
at all, it must have been in scornful
terms from that Joseph BARRETT who
dwelt i'm London and consorted with DR.
johnson, and had welded upon his
Italian brethren FrustG Litterdrid, or
Literary Lash (as he called his ferocious
critical papers, that drew blood; Bar
retti despised Goldoni for a Jarcem OF
low degree, not being able to see the
truth and power of his comedies, and
used to speak of him as ''one Charles

GoldOni." Nevertheless, if the Vene-
tian could have brought himself to leave
the delights of Paris long enough to pay
that visit to London which the Italian
operatic company once desired of him,
he might have met Goldsmith and
then l am sure that the founder and
master of the natural school of English
fiction would have liked the inventor of
realistic Italian comedy. At any rate
GOldOni would have liked Goldsmith.
The Spectator was the fashion at Venice
as well as at London i'm Goldoni's day
it had formed the taste for the kind of
writing in which Goldsmith excelled,
and the Citizen of the World would
have found an intelligent admirer in a
man who haplessly knew as much of
the world as himself.-The atlantic

Aha.

In Algeria, the tall, reedy grass,
lending the otherwise airy plains the
glow of mellow corn-fields, is the !Stipd
tendcissimd familiar to bOtanists and the
alta of commerce. A handful of it,
shown to me by the head of a large
newspaper firm in London, looks like
nothing else know of in the vegetable
world. The blades, between two and
three feet high. are brown and wiry,
and exceedingly tenacious i'm texture.
A more unpromising-looking natural
specimen it would be difficult to name !;
yet this ill-favored plant has already
made the fortune of spectators, and is
tending in no small degree to aid the
progress of Algerian colonization. 1t
may, indeed, be regarded as an exhaust
ible source of wealth, seeing that mill
ions of acres are covered with it, that it
requires no cultivation, and as soon as
one crop is cut another begins TO grow.
a few years since, this desert grass was
regarded as an obstacle to progress, but
ventiye mind that paper might be made
of il, and so well did the experiment
answer, and so rapidly did the inven-
ton spread, that enormous quantities
are now exported to England and other
countries. Many of our leading news
papers are printed on paper thus man
ufactured, the proprietOrs Lioyd's Week
iy Ne,cs, believe, taking the initiative.
In 1868 95 900 tons of alfa grass was ex-
ported TO England alone, the quantity
now exported having risen to l25, 900
tons. The .Stipd tendcissimd grows in
Spain, and has become an object ofcom-
merce in that country, but the prepara-
ton of it in Algeria seems TO be better
understood, and it is chiefly from the
French colony that we draw our sup
plies. Within the last two or three
years an enterprising firm have under
taken TO construct railways between the
plateauX aid the seaports, receiving as
sole indemnity from the Government
the right of farming some hundred
thousand hectars of the great alfa re-
gion. These new lines of railways are
in progression, and by diminishing the
cost of transport will greatly facilitate
the commerce. In his speech before
the Conseil Superieur of November,
1879, Gen, Chanzy, the GOvernOr-Gen-
eral of Algeria, alluded to the exporta-
ton of alfa as one ofthe most promising
sources of wealth in the country, and
great prominence was given to it in the
Exposition. Not only paper of first
rate quality is manufactured from the
Stipd tendcissi,Ha, but hair-brushes and
other brushes, mats, artificial flowers
and basket-work. Ii has also a medical
use. A few grains of the ashes of the
plant mixed with oil makes an excel
lent remedy for burns, and it also sup
plies capital tOoth-powder. The net
result of this commerce last year reach
ed S,S14 ,230 francs.-Frdser's -NdgdzjRe.

Mysterious Lights.

From time to time the west coast of
Wales seems to have been the scene of
mysterious lights. In the fifteenth GEN.
tury, and again on larger scale in the
considerable alarm was Great
ed by fires that 'srose out of the sea" !"
Writing in January, 1894, the rector of
Dolgelly stated that sixteen ricks of
hay and two barns had been burnt by
"a kindled exhalation which was often
seen to come from the sea-" Passing
over other alleged appearances in March
1879, letter by the late Mr.. Picton,
Jones appeared in "Bygones," p. l9s,
giving an account of curious lights
which he had witnessed at Pwllheli,
and now we have statement from To-
wyn that within the last few weeks
''lights of various colors have frequent
lv been seen moving over the estuary
of the Dysynni river and out at sea.
They are generally ina northern di-
rection, but sometimes they hug the
shore, and move at high velocity for
miles toward Aberdyfi, and suddenly

Out of Doors.

Who can describe the pleasure and
delight, the peace of mind soft tran
guilty which we feel i'm the balmy air,
and among the green hills and rich
woods of an inland village. Who can
can tell how scenes of peace and quie-
tude sink into the minds of pain-worn
dwellers in close and noisy places, and
carry their own freshness deep in their
jaded hearts. Men who have lived in
crowded pent-up streets, through whole
lives of toll and never wished for
change; men TO whom custom has been
second nature, and who have come al
most to love each brick and stone that
formed the narrow boundaries of their
daily walks-even they, with the hand
of death upon them, have been known
to yearn at least for one short glimpse
of natures face; and, carried far from
the scenes of their pains and pleasures,
have seemed to pass at once into a new
state of being. and, crawling forth from
day to day, TO some green, sunny spot,
have had such memories wakened up
within them by the mere sight of sky,
and hill, and plain, and glistening
water, that a fOretaste of heaven itself
has soothed their quick decline, and
they have sunk into their tombs as
peacefully as the sun whose setting,
they watched from their lonely cham
Der window but few hours before
faded from their dim and feeble sight
The memories which peaceful country
scenes call up are not of the world, or
of its thoughts or hopes; their gentle
influence may teach us to weave fresh
garlands for the graves of those we
loved, may purify our thoughts, and
bear down before it old enmity and
hatred. But beneath all this there
fingers in the least reflective mind
vague and half-formed consciousness of
having held such feelings long before
in some remote and distant time, which
calls up solemn thoughts of distant
times to come, and bends down pride
and worldliness beneath 1t.

Two Russian CathedraIs.

Among the greatest glOries of 81
Petersburg are the two magnificent
cathedrals-St. Isaac's and Our Lady of
kazan. In their construction and fin
ish both display an enormous outlay of
money, imposing architecture, costly
materials and exquisite interior decora-
ton. 1t will suffice to give some idea
of the former, which is the most stu
pendous of the two. In the first place.
the cost of sinking the piles on which
the foundations rest was 81 .OOO, 900.
The building, which is in the form of
Greek cross, is of Finland granite, and
supported by over one hundred pol
ished pillars, sixty feet high and seven
feet in diameter. The cupOla is sur
rounded by thirty more of these pillars
Of large size, which support the gilded
dome, sixty-six feet in diameter, with
a miniature cupOla above. Then the
whole is suTmOunted by a gilt cross,
the top of which is $50 feet from the
ground. The exterior decorations are
huge bronze figures and doors, as well
as COrinthian capitals and biblical
groups in the facade. Inside the effect
is most impressive. Here again are
great pillars of polished granite, As well
as ten of iron covered with malachite
and two with lapis lazuli. The walls
and floors are of glistening granite and
marble of different cOlOrs. Pictures of
sacred subjects adOrn the walls; images
loaded with jewels and gifts are met at
every turn; the altar is resplendent
with bronze, gold, silver, jewels, light
and trappings; gold and silver ehande-
liers for hundreds of candles are hung
from the lofty ceiling, and everywhere
shrine lights and burning tapers meet
the sight to complete the impressive
grandeur. During service the effect Is
heightened. The Greek Church en-
ploys vocal, but not instrumental music.
The responses are chanted at st. Isaac's
by a large body of ehOristers without
accompaniment. The candles in the
chandeliers are all lighted; several
priests and altar boys appear in gold
and silver vestments, and the people
all standing-are constantly crossing
themselves or bowing their heads TO the
marble fioOr-the whole constituting
scene of profound devotion to the Su-
preme Being that can never be forgot
ten. On account of irrecOncilable dif-
ferences between the Catholic and Rus
so-Greek churches, Russia still uses the
old style Greek or Julian calendar,
which is twelve days behind the new
style Latin or Gregorian calendar.

The First Champagne.

Ii happened that about the year 1865
the office of cellarer was conferred upon
a worthy monk named Perignon. Po-
cts and roasters, We know, are born.
and not made; and this precursor of
Meets and Cliquots. the Heidsieeks and
the Mumms of our days, seems to have
been a heaven-born cellarman, with a
strong head and discriminating palate.
The wine exacted from the neighboring
eultivatOr was of all qualities-gOOd,
bad, and Indifferent, and with the spirit
of a true Benedictine, Dom PerignOn
hit upon the idea of marrying" the
produce of one vineyard with that of
another. He had noticed that one kind
of soil impaired fragrance and another
generosity, and discovered that white
wine could be made from the blackest
grapes, which would keep good, instead
of turning yellow and degenerating
like the wine obtained from white ones,
Moreover, the happy thought occurred
to him that piece of cork was much
more suitable stopper for bottle than
the flax dipped in oil, which had here
tOfore served that purpose, The white,
or as il was sometimes styled, the gray
wine of Champagne grew famous, and
the manufacture spread throughout the
province, but that of Hautvillers held
the predominance. The cellarer. ever
busy among his watts presses, barrels
and bottles. alighted upon a discovery
destined to be far more important in
its results. He found out the way of
making an effervescent wine-a wine
flowed the glass, that was twice as
dainty to the taste, and twice as exhil-
arating in its effects. Ii was at the
close of the seventeenth century that
this discovery was made-when the
glory of the Roy Soleil was on the
wane, and with it the splendor of the
court of Versailles. The king, for
whose especial benefit iqueurs had
been invented, found a CLEAN of his
youthful energy as he slipped the
creamy foaming vintage that enlivened
his dreary tete-a-tete with the widow of
ScarrOn. 1t found its chief patrons,
however among the bands of gay young
roysterers, the future roues of the Re-
gency. whom the Due d Orleans and
the Due De Vendeme had gathered
round them at the Palais Royal and at
Anet. 1t was at one of the famous
soHpers d'Anet that the Marquis De Sill
lery-whO had turned his sword into a
pruning-knife, and applied himself to
the cultivation ofhis paternal vineyards
on the principles inculcated by the
cellarer of St. Peter's-first introduced
the wine bearing his name. The flow
er-wreathed bottles, which, at given
signal, dozen of blooming young dam
sells scantily draped in the guise of Bac-
chanals placed upon the table, were
hailed with rapture, and henceforth
sparkling wine was an indispensable
adjunct at all the petitS SoUpers of the
period. In the highest circles the pop
ping of champagne-corks seemed to
ring the knell of sadness, and the vic
tories of Marlborough were in measure
compensated for by this grand discoy-

with which they have completely en-
veloped him. The net is represented
by Gordon of open work marble about
him. A master hand was wrought out
this wonderful piece of statuary. A
strong man in the prime of life finds
himself completely encircled, bound
hand and foot by bad habits. The net
work is complete. There seems to be
no possible escape from its meshes. But
under the inspiration of new purpose,
that seems to have come to the man
from the face of a beautiful angel, with
a mighty effort he has succeeded in
breaking asunder the coils that are
about him. Every muscle is at tenison,
every part OF the entire form seems con-
vulsed in the fearful struggle. But he
has been successful, and a radiant
smile of joy and relief light up his face.
Never before had | so fully realized the
power and tyranny of habit, how ut
terly impossible it is to break loose from
: bad one. Every day / meet, on these
streets men, who, though rich, would
give all their treasures i'm moment
could they rise above the power of an
evil habit. Only the other day a citi-
zen fled away from our city to distant
part of the country, hoping, as he said,
to get rid of the temptations that were
about him.
The formation of correct habits in
early life is comparatively easy. in a
word: if you would become model
characters you must discard all bad
habits, all odd habits. all that is ungra-
cious or ungrateful in word or deed, or
manner. In order to do this you must
study constantly yourselves, and, if
possible, be under the influence and
shadow ofgood men and women. Read,
in hours of recreation, good books.
Shun, as you would deadly poison, the
impure literature that is more or less
abroad. Pass by on the other side, al
ways, when invited to take a social
glass with friend. Bear about with
you the conscious dignity of manhood,
not in vain but a modest, yet positive
way. Never sacrifice principle for
place. Embark in no business scheme
that has not fair promise of moderate
returns. Never spend that which you
have not got. Don't discount the fu-
ture, it may not be yours.

Broken Bottles.

The question as to what becomes OF
the oyster and cookie shells has long
ago been solved. They are pulverized
and used up for several useful purposes.
The crushed cookie shell is invaluable
as bed on which to rest flower pots in
the conservatory or forcing-house, and
the oyster shell makes capital gravel
for garden walks and "rubble" for
builders purposes. What becomes of
all the pins is a question more difficult
to answer. Millions of these useful OBJ
jects are daily manufactured, and yet
the demand increases. Export orders
cannot possibly keep pace with the sup
ply, and consequently the number abb
sorbed for home consumption must be
som ething fabulous. But what becomes
of the broken bottles, may well be asked.
Thousands of tons OF bottles must be
broken every year in London alone,
and the difference between tie value of
the sound and the broken bottles must
amount to something very considerable.
Broken "wines" and broken sodas" are
converted TO many useful purposes,
the latter especially. The best soda
water bottles come from Yorkshire, and
the ''gingers" from Derbyshire. The
"sodas" are no longer sent to the metro
polls packed in crates, as formerly. In
the crate they were pilfered to great
extent EN- route to their destination, and
the cost of carriage was higher. They
are now transmitted in bags made Of
coarse canvas packed in layers Of straw.
Each bag holds eight dozen. The broken
bottles are subsequently, utilized for the
manufacture of cheap jewellery, chim-
new ornaments, and inferior household
glass for the. manufacturing districts.
They are also used for the manufacture
of emery power, glass paper, etc. Some
idea of the number of ''sodas' broken
In the process of filling, corking, clean
ing, and distributing may be gathered
from the circumstance that one great
mineraI-water manufacturer (Mr. H..
ID. Rawlings) sold last year 100 tons.
The value of the s'metal," as it is styled,
is somewhere about los. per ton, but it
varies according to demand. When the
market for fancy goods is active. broken
bottles command better price. A re-
yiyal of trade sets this particular in
dustry in motion along with others, and
broken bottles are enhanced In value.
In fact broken glass and broken pottery
serve many purposes, though it is only
lately that economical science has
learned how to turn them to account.
