The overthrow of the lawful state

During those years | have been com
PEELED to so rapidly skim over, Mrs.
Siddons was still advancing in fame
and fortune. She had commenced at
five pounds a week. by 1904 she had adj
vanced to twenty pounds a night, and
in 1911 to fifty guineas. She had pur-
chased a house in Cover street, the
back of which she describes as being
''most effectnally in the country and
most delightfully."- pleasant" What a
change in that neighborhood since
those days? The limit of her ambition
had once been ten thousand pounds ;
she had long since realized that sum
more than twice over, but doubtless she
would still have gone on accommodating
more, had there not come warnings
that her days Of greatness were waning.
She had grown very stout and UNI
wieldy, and though her age did not
warrant it, so intirm, that after kneel-
ing in a part she had to be assisted to
rise. Her acting was becoming heavy,
mo@notonous, and STACEY; the tender
ness, the passion of her younger days
had passed away with her youth and
beauty, and the Isabella and Belvidera
that once wrung every heart, owe
which l~Iazlitt confesses he had wept
outright during a whole performance,
had no affinity with that fat, sombre
woman, of those awful demeanor, even
in private life, Sc many stories have
been told. Another luminary, young,
beautiful and sympathetic, Miss O'Neill,
was rising to thrust her from her throne
as she had thrust others. And so it be-
came necessary to abdicate and lay
down the laurel crown she had worn so
long, ere it was rudely plucked from
her head. 81 feel as if | were mount
ing the first step of a ladder conducting
me to the other world" she said sadly.
Her farewell benefit took place on the
Goth of June, 1912. Lady Macbeth was
fifty chosen for her exit, and at the end
of the sleep-walking scene a nobly ar
tistic audience insisted that the curtain
should there fall, so that the last grand
impression should not be disturbed.
Yet her retirement did not make the
sensation that might have been expected
As it has been before said, her powers
were failing, and privately, the public
disliked her.-Temple Bar.

Men, Women and Furniture.

We maintain, too, that in reality,
mar has no need of furniture, and that
everything he does worth doing could
be done without these adjuncts. In the
highest stage of civilization, man will
not need either a bed, a table, a stool,
or a notwithstanding which, just
now, he considers to be of absolute me-
cessity, but which n people, the most
refined, the most intelligent, and the
most highly civilized that has lived on
this planet in historic times-the Japan
ese, to wit, have shown can be perfectly
well dispensed with. Indeed, in every
age, the more refined the race, the less
has it thought furniture necessary, and
1t might even be asserted, without fear
of contradiction, that a people that need
a great deal of furniture to be comfort
able and happy, is in a state, so long as
that need is felt, that can only be termed
%barbarous. Man proper, man in his
highest condition of spiritual and
physical development, Is absolutely in
dependent of furniture;-sits on his
his heels, sleeps on the floor, eats with
his fingers from dishes made of gourds
and leaves (or, if he prefers it, of wood
exquisitely lacquered) placed on the
ground; avoids the necessity of candle
sticks by using lanterns, or by going to
bed early and sleeping late and writes
on his wristbands. All the noblest arts,
the most exquisite decorative designs,
all the immortal books, have come from
people or from individuals to whom
"things" have been unnecessary or un-
known. And, therefore to insist that
man Is distinguished from the lower
animals by having furniture is not to
say a handsome thing about him, but
to derogate from his dignity. When
we come to clothes, however, we find
the case a different one. Clothes seem
to 60 hand In hand with mans develop
ment as a social being, and every high
tide In civilization has been marked by
great inventiveness, splendor and even
in dress. -Scrtbner.

The Shrine of Gambrinus.

The New York Herald gives the fol-
lowing account of the reign of King
Gambrinus in that city "a custom,
old in Europe, but new in this country,
is that of deciding the respective merits
of the various brewings of beer by
means of the ballot-box, and more than
a score of American brewers are sub
hitting their manufactures to such a
test at Concordia Hall. Some time
since the Gambrinus Verein--a society
comprising $50 to 200 brewers of this
city-conceived the idea of holding a
beer testing festival, and to that end
sent invitations to the more prominent
brewers throughout the country to send
six kegs each as specimens of their best
brewing. The invitation was generally
accepted, and it is supposed that at
least forty brewers from New York,
Newark, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, and
other cities, distinguished for their
enormous production of beer, will sub
NIT to the proposed test.
Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock the
festival began. At the appointed hour
the doors were thrown open and King
Gambrinus, aUtired in a gorgeous cos
tune, and bearing an immense goblet
in his right hand, and in his left a
cleaning sword, marched into the hall
attended by two brightly dressed pages
and followed by the members of the
Gambrinus Verein, walking two and
two. After proceeding three times
about the room the procession halted,
and the King, mounting a convenient
stand, delivered an address upon the
object of the festival and the nature of
its operations. The object, he said, was
to decrease the importation of lager
beer by showing the superiority of that
of American make, The result of the
festival will be to determine which of
the American brewers produces the
best beer, and the modus operandi Is as
follows Every brewer sends six kegs,
two of which are put on tap each day
so carefully wrapped up in canvas as to
conceal the name of the maker. The
secret is known only to a committee of
three, who are sworn not to divulge 1t.
The kegs are distinguished by numbers
and ranged in a double row down the
center of the room. The admission fee
is twenty-five cents, which entities the
purchaser to six glasses Of lager and a

Who among our eXtravagant young
ladies in these boastful time ever gave
her lover, as Cleopatra did, a pearl dis
solved in vinegar (or undissolved) worth
$4,000, 900? Then there was a Paulina,
one of the ton in Rome who used to
wear jewels, when she returned her
visits, worth 100000. Cicero, who
was comparatively a poor man in those
times, gave 81, 800, 900 for his establish

gave 81, 200, 900 for the house of Antony.
Seneca, who was just a plain philoso-
pher, was worth 1920, 0O0, 900. Tiberius
left a property of nearly 100000, 900.
Caesar and Marc Antony both owned
wonderful fortunes. Why, they talk
about a mans failing in New York for
81 ,000, 900 as if it were a big thing.
Caesar, before he entered any office,
when he was n young gentleman in
private life, owed 81 ,000, 600, and he
purchased the friendship of Qu&sor for
81, 500, 900. Mare Antony owed 3d.

before the Kalends Of March. This was
nothing; he squandered $1,000 900 of
public money. And these fellows lived
well. Esopus, who was a play actor,
paid $400, 900 for a supper. Their wines
were often kept for two ages, and some
of them were sold for $40 an ounce
Dishes were made of gold and silver,

SCIENTIFIC

A NeU Gold Salt for TOniHg. Until
now there have been used only the
single and dolble chlOrlc salts Of gold
for toning. During the past winter
Mr.. Neumayer, student Of chemistry
from Munich, visited my establishment
and undertook under my directions the
preparation ola gold bromide and n gold
bromide Of calcium, for the purposes Of
experimenting with these salts and their
uses In photography.
Thin leaves of gold are readily dis.
solved In brOmine water and In bromine
gas. But a more rational and less disa-
greeable mode Of preparation Is by the
action Of hydrobromic acid, nitric acid,
and aqua-regia.
During evaporation Of the gold
bromide, which has a dark appearance
and smells strongly Of brOmine, great
care is necessary, owing 10 the fact that
the gold bromide vaporiZes more easily
than the chloride. Bromide of gold Is
difficult of crystalline. Blythe addition
Of an exact equivalent of bromide of
calcium dissolved In water, and evapo-
rated, small granite-red crystals of
double salts are obtained. KBrxAu

solved in water; but a thin solution is
of a deep red color, and eiloresces in
dry air.
have tried these double salts, also
the gold bromide, with several addi-
tons as a tOning bath. In its general
effect on silver copies it Is analogous to
gold chloride combinations, except that
in the same proportions it acts more
theoretically.
Tine addition of soda bicarbonate gives
a blue-black tone, melted acetate of
sodium a purple colored tone.
For a lasting gold bath, in a form of
a sci encduSse, these salts are recon-
mended.-ArchiU.

Electricity ofthe Hedrt.-Muscular con-
traction, it is known, is always accom-
panied with electric phenomena; the
difference of electric potential between
two points of a muscle, undergoes a d.
minution, which, according to Bern.
stein, precedes, by about one one-hun-
dreth of a second, the contraction of the
muscle. The electric variation has been
observed on various muscles, and in
particular on the heart (by Du Bots Rey.
mOnd and Kuhne), and recently NJ.
Marcy has represented it graphically by
photographing the indications ola Lipp-
ann capillary electrometer. The Jour
nal dc Physique states that NJ. De la
Roche has tried the experiment on the
heart of a living man. Two points of
the epidermis of the chest were con-
nected with the poles Of a capillary cleo
trOmeter, by means of electrodes,
formed each of a bar of analgamated
zinc, with a plug of muslin at its lower
end saturated with sulphate of zinc.
Held with insulating handles, the bars
were applied, one with its plug opposite
the point of the heart, under the left
nipple, and the other to another point
of the chest. The mercurial column
was then seen to execute a series of very
distinct periodical pulsations %synchron-
u with the pulse; each pulsation even
marked the double movement of the
heart (of the auricles and ventricles).
The amplitude corresponded to about
II one-thousandth Daniel.

SpermdCeH candles contain about three

break the grain, or to prevent crystal
lization. A sperm candle of six to the
pound burns with great regularity if it
be properly made; but those in COM
merce at the present time are but poor
examples of what such candles should
be, for they range in combustion be-
tween l20 and l46 grains per hour. A
spermaceti candle of six to the pound,
burning at the rate of l20 grains per
hour is generally taken as the standard
of comparison for all other Illuminating
