ELECTRIC CANDLEs-A NEW Thine
Among other battles at which one assists,
this moment, in France, is that between
electric candles and gas-light Yesterday
evening | visited this peculiar candle man
ulactory in the Avenue dies Villicrs, the
director of which is II Russian engineer,
and also the inventor, NJ. Joblockoif. Now,
as Vollaire observes, light comes from the
North. The laboratory is hung with pic
lures and colored stuffs, which can as ca
silly be distinguished in their shades as if in
full noon-day. The candles have the
same ratio TO gas and oil lamps as sun to
moonlight. The inventor poured some
glasses of water on the flame of his dips,
but they burned away all the same. They
emit no smoke and consequently cannot
blacken objects, nor any heat-three hun
dred and fifty times less than an ordinary
candle-hGnce books will not fall out of
their bindings, nor tapestry turn into black
snuff There can be no fire, DO explosions,
and the light can be laid Oh some three to
fifteen times cheaper than gas or oil light.
The light does not tremble or twinkle
much, and none at all fit passes through
IL globe slightly Opaque. The candle is
composed of two cylindrical sticks of char
coal, separated by Il preparation of sand,
ground glass and kaoin; Il magneto-elec-
tro machine furnishes the current, which
flows from one point to the other of the
charcoal rods. Each candle burns three
hours and the extinction of one lights up
another. We are more than on the eve Of
II great discovery; but as the proof of the
pudding is in the eating of il, the inven'
tion will soon be tested, rs the circus,
the opera, the Eouvre drapery shoE
and the railway tcrmini are soon to be il
Illuminated by the new process. 1t will
never be accepted by ladies in a ballroom
as, unlike charity, il will not cover u mul
titude of sins, ,-SdD Francisco CdU

If | were in danger of becoming skepti-
cal, l believe that fresh and vivid appre-
citation of the scientific revelations con-
cerning our globe would appal me into
faith. To think of this ball whirling and
spinning about the sun. and TO be IN
atheist its covering less in comparative
thickness than Il peach-skin, and its pulp
a seCthing fire, and TO feel that we are at
the mercy of the forces that lash it like a
top around the ecliptic, and of the raving
flames that heave and beat for vent; not
more than an eighth Of its surface inhabit-
able by man, seas roaring around him,
tropics heat shifting his brain, polar frosts
threatening his blood, inland laden with
fevcrs, sea winds charged with consump-
ton; hurricanes lowering in the sky,
earthquakes Slumbering under our feet
the conditions Of life dependent on the
most delicate oscillations Of savage pow
ers. over which the wise>t man is us pow
erlcss us II worm-to think of these and
not to have any confidence or belief in a
power superior to these pitiless forces
not to have an inspiring faith that the
land was made for human habitalions and
experience, and is sheltered by II ceaseless
love from the hunger Of the elements
Why, | could as easily conceive of Il per-
son making his home unconcerned in an
uncaged menagerie us of man ut rest in
nature, seeing what it is. and not feeling
that it is cmbosomed in God! Go to ma
ture. my brother; 90 to the unroofed uni
verse 90 to the awful pages of science,

AMERICAN WOMEN GROWING PLUMP
1t is frequently observed that American
ladies are losing that thnness of pbySique
which was a national characteristic some
twenty-five years ago, and one reason sug-
gested is that they neither work nor worry
us they used to do, anxiety in any form of
mental disturbance insures meagreness rs
nothing else does. The republic is more
developed, things are settled, somewhat
of the European feeling is creeping into
the national mind, and less thinness is the
result. American women take vastly bet
ter care of themselves than formerly.
They have more acquaintance with hy-
gienic laws, and hold them in far higher
esteem. The days when they exposed
themselves to dampness and wintry cold
in thin slippers and silk stockings; when
they abstained from fannels next to the
skin; when they pnched their waists to
standardization; when they sacrificed
comfort and health to what the conceived
to be appearanccs-tho foolish and un-
happy days have gone forever, have bare
ly been known TO the rising generation.
Our women now have few mawkish and
morbid notions us to themselves; they no
longer think that to he unhealthy is to be
attractive, that invalidism and Interesting
ness are synonymous; that pale faces and
contracted lungs are tokens of beauty.
They dress seasonably: they wear thick
boots and warm clothes in bad and cold
weather; the allow themselves to breath
freely, and they find their looks improved,
not injured, by the wholesome change.
There are exceptions, many of them,
doubtless, but the rule is us we have de-
scribed, and the exceptions are constantly
diminishing. 1t may be safely said that
all sensible women are becoming, if they
have not become, converts to nature, and
that they heed her behests. recognizing
the great principle that what is not natural
can not be beautiful Golden Rule.

SWIFT AND HIS SERVANT. Dean Swift,
while on journey, and stopping at a
tavern, desired his servant John-who, by
the way, was as eccentric As his MASTER
to bring him his boots. John brought up
his boots in the same state they were in
the evening previous. Why didn't you
polish my boots?" said the Dean. There S
no use in polishing them,' said the man,
for they would soon be dirty again.
Very true,' said the Dean, and he put on
the boots. Immediately after he went
down to tie landlady, and told her on no
account to give his servant any breakfast
The Dean breakEasted, and then ordered
his horse out. As he was ready to start,
John ran to him and said: Mr.. Dean, |
haven't got my breakfast YETI "O," re-
piled the witty divine, there's no use in
your breakfasting, for you would soon be
hungry again. John finding his theory
thrown back on himself, submitted to the
privaton with the same stoicism us did his
master with the boots. On they rode, the
Dean in front, reading his prayer-book, and
the man behind at II respectful distance
when they were met by gentleman, who
after cycling the Dean very closely, accost-
ed the servant with; 81 say, my man,
you and your master seem to be sober
pair; may ask who you are, and where
you are going?" 1--WE are going to
heaven, said John. "my master is pray.
ing and l am fasting" The gentleman
looked again in wonderment at the master
and man, and rode off.-Lfe Of SwW.

JOKING GEN. STARK OF the famous
Gen. Stark whose victory over the Ilessians
al Bennington, VT, during the revolution,
was celebrated with such pomp last Aug
ust in that town, the Manchester IN. H.)
Union says that his business habits ut home
illustrated his energy and severe vigilance
and ability to hold his own in any cmer-
gcncy us forcibly as did his conduct in the
war. Many incidents are related of the
Generals shrewdncss and quick wit 1t
is said that he very rarely y came off second
best ut reparlcc>, so ready was he with n
sharp reply for any occasion. While on bis
farm in lis latter days, it is related that
one day he walked ont in IL field where his
men were hay ing. The work was badly
done, and the General was not slow to no.
lice the fact and comment upon it. Among
the men was one named Whitaker, who
was frequently made the butt for the jokes
of his fellow workmen. The general passed
over the field, and finding spot particu-
lnrly bad, asked sharply:
"Who moved that swath?'
"Whiltaker,' said the man nearest the
General, with II wink ut the others. Pas
sing on, the question came again and
again:
"Who moved that swath? and that
one?'
"Whittaker," was the invariable reply.
Gen. Stark made no comment, but went
away. When evening came the men col
lecled for their pay, and the General made
slight mental calculation, paid Whitta
kcr II sum equal to the amount due to the
whole number.
Amt you going to pay US, General?'
"Well, said Stark, in his high,keyeC
voice. las near as could find, Whitaker
did all the work, and so gave him all tn,
pay
The men found the laugh had beer
TUNED against themselves, and it is pre-
sumed that Whitaker divided the funds
equally.

Captain Ben Marcy was retired ship
master never saw but one other man
looking at all like him, and that was his
brother, boalswain's mate in the United
States navy named Bill Marcy. Captain
Bill was simply piece of jerked, dried
and picked humanity. lie was MS though
he had been hung up in the hot sun until
all the juices of his system had been evap-
GRATED; the skin hardened, toughenpd and
tanned, and nothing left to burden the
frame of bones but muscle and tendon, and
the absolute requisites of animal life. The
parchment,like skin hung in great folds
under his little deep-set eyes, and about
his jaws; his crisp, coarse hair of mot
tied gray, stood out from his head like the
quillS upon hedgehog, and the gait and
entire motion of the embrined veteran was
like unto the waddle of an antiquated duck
upon dry lan(I
Well, Captain Ben had retired from the
sea with competence, determined 10
spend the evening of his days in quiet
enjoyment of entire independence. He
had no wife no family of any kind be-
side the servants-and the only companion
that he took to share his meditations was
a large Mozambique monkey, which he
had himself captured in its native forest,
and raised from infancy. lie called the
monkey Admiral, and kept him clad in
a respectable garb-a sort of undress uni
form, such as naval officer might wear,
and the Admiral liked the dress. He had
become proud, and seemed to fully realize
that next to his master he was the most i'm
portant being on the place, and assumed
airs accordingly.
One day n neighbor sent to the Captain
a basket of choice fruit, accompanied by
note, the bearer being brother of the
cOlored persuasion, about us black and
glossy as they make them. The darkey
had turned his face homeward when he
met the Captain, whom he had before
looked for III vain.
Iii! you black rascal what ye doin'
here?' demanded the Captain.
'Ah yah! Masr Cap'n, Is been gone an
foched ye ober lot OBJ peaches an plums
an pears an SIGH
We'll, where are they?'
why, yer see, Mas'r, couldn't see ye,

'Oh, golly! Mss'r Capn, l didn't

was yer son. lie looked nutf like yer.
Bress de Lord, didn't know yo had boy
so old
The darkey did not finish the sentence.
Seeing the old sailor preparing for ac-
tion," he cleared the coop, while Captain
Ben, grinnng in spite of his wrath, went
on to find the Admiral curled up beneath
a sheltering arbor enjoying feast fit for
king.

JAPANESE CHEAP LABOR.-The nge
nuily and perseverance of japanese work.
men have caused alarm in some of the
manufacturing houses of Birmingham,
where articles for the Japan trade are
made. A sufficient quantity of these
articles is already made in Japan to cause
European houses in that country to diScon,
tnue the importation of them. The
impossibiity Of competing with japanese
workmcn is explained by II gentleman
in Yokohama, writing to the Birmingham
POST:
Frugal as badgers, Industrious rs bees,
the Japs undersell every labor market
they enter, and Guido every civilized
artisan ut his own trade. Any one who
has seen Il japanese carpenter at work,
with his toes for wise and his thighs and
stomach for bench, has seen tools well
used and goods equal to European make
turned out. They will, in fact, become
formidable on all kinds of manufactures
The japanese are always ready to learn,
and to outvie everything that the west
does, and this they do with less food, less
air, less clothing and less comfort than any
civilized workman"
