has been received from St. Petersburg:
Those having the direction Of affairs

the holding Of the congress without Eng

that the congress will not meet a. all,

EASEERN AFFAIRS.
The situation Critical.

LONDON, March 26.-The final answer
from st. Petersburg to EngIsnd's ques-
ton as 10 whether the entire treaty Of
San Stefano will be submitted to the
Congress is snIiously awaited.
The Times expressed the opinion that
the more prudent Russian statesmen,
oven the Gear himself, ought to be ready
TO smooth the way for the sssemblsge OF
the Congress. The contention OF our
government is justified, in substance, by
Europe, and though the remaining OBJ
lection is not one which ought to be fatal,
it is by Russia rather than US, that the
objection ought, in strict confidence, to be
removed. The preponderatlng opinion
at the capitals OF the great powers seems
to DO that Russia will refuse, aud that
this will render the situation very criti-
cal, IN consequence of the presence Of the
British feet IN the sea of Mariners and
the position Of the Russians about Con-
stantinople, but thst il no unforeseen In
cident or complication arises from these
circu instances, war may be avoided, and,
after period OF suspense damaging to
sll the powers, fresh proposal for con-
ference or congress, will be put forward
under different forms with the hope of
success. The position of Austria is the
source OF much an1iou. curiosity.
Ssmi-oficial organs have declared the
treaty OF San Stefano utterly unaccepta.
Bile, but the fact is equally certain that
Austria does not support England's de-
mand, concerning the form of its sub.
mission to the Congress. Various eI-
planatlons of the latter feature of Aus
trias policy are given.

FOHTUNE.TELLERS IN CHINA.

There are numerous classes OF for
tune-tei in China. The most common
branch has reference to the eight horary
characters, which, taken in pairs, de-
note the year, month, day, and hour OF
persons birth. The fortune-teiler
makes his predictions on these data, by
the use of certain mystical books per-
tanning to his art, and his services are
an indispensable preliminary to the ar
rangement of marriage, for he it is who
decides whether the horoscopes of the
man and woman are sufficiently in har-
mony to justify their becoming husband
and wife. Another professor of the art,
like the gypsy in our own country, bases
his Vaccinations on the physiognon,y of
his client; he does not, however, contine
his examination to the lines ON the
palm of the hand, but extends them even
to the whiskers, if his customer chances
to have them, a somewhat rare occur
ence in China. A third-class of fortune-
tellers processes to pry into the future
by the aid of bird and small sheets of
papers. Another style of fortune-teller
is of literary turn, of mind, and ap-
plies himself to the dissection of those
strengthening bieroglyphics in which
the Chinese language is written. In
addition to these, there are two other
classes of fortune-tellers-the one is the
professor learned in the mysteries of
fenqshui, who is consulted in regard to
lucky spots for graves and times for
burial, and often receives large fees; and
the other operates by means OF tor
toise-shell and some ancient copper
cash. On the whole, we suspect that
fortuae-tellers do a better business in
China than in most other countries,
even where superstition is still rife, for
the Chinese always like to have a lucky
day chosen for everything, be it for
opening shop, marrying a wife, bury
ing parent, starting on journey, OF
any other matter of the least import
ance.

TWO OF TGzE EDWARDS.

IN a painted glass window, in one of the
canon's houses in Windsor Castle (the
window is over the cloisters adjoining the
chapeD there is horoscope or astrologi-
cal scheme of nativity. 1t was cast to
show the aspect of the heavens at the mo-
ment of the birth of the first child of Ed
ward II. and the youthful Isabelle Of
France. That child, subsequently the. re-
nowned Edward ILL.,, was born at Wind
sor, at twenty minutes to six on the morn
ing of the 18th Of November, 1919. The
horoscope informs us that the sixth de-
gree of Scorpio was then ascending, and
the eighteenth of Leo was at that auspi-
cious moment, eliminating, Great joy
prevailed, and men, aldermen especially,
made glad their hearts with wine. This
Edward was virtually the originator of the
menagerie'in the Tower, which was only
abolished in 1884; and there are those who
remember how any person was allowed to
enter without payment provided he
brought with him little dog to be thrown
to the lions A great man was that Ed
ward! English history would be a differ
ent thing without him. But England
loves, even more, to remember his success
sor the Black Prince, the ornament of
chivalry, and to think what he might have
been had not death unhorsed him so early
He began brightly, being created Prince Of
Wales in the thirteenth year of his age,
on Monday morning, in the month of May,
on the twelfth day of the month, and in the
Palace of Westminster. In full parlia-
ment there, the boy was invested with
coronet, gold ring and, silver rod, and to
these emblems Of his princely power were
added grants of money and of lands, of
profits prospective, and of privileges i'm
mediately to be enjoyed, which, added to
what he already possessed, rendered him
rich and powerful prince, albeit SO
young The origin of the ostrich feathers,
as badge of the Princes of Wales, has
been matter of perplexity to the anti
quaries. Old Randa Holmes solved the
difficulty in his summary way, by assert
ing that they were the blazon on the war
banner of the ancient Britons.

LANGUAGE OF EARS.

Large ears, hear things in general, and
denote broad, comprehensive views and
modes of thought; while small ears hear
things in particular, showing a disposi
ton to individualize, often accompanied
by the love of the minute. Large ears are
usually satisfied with learning the leading
facts of case, with the general principle
involved--too strict an attention to the
enumeration of details, especially all repe-
tition of the more unimportant, is weari-
some to them. People with such ears
like generally, and are usually fitted to
conduct large enterprises, to receive and
pay out money in large sums; they prefer
to give with free hand, without refer
ence to the amount. Small ears, on the
contrary, desire to know the particulars
of story as well as the main facts; take
delight often in examining, handling or
constructing tiny specimens Of workman
ship; are disposed to be exact with re-

DIBLIOGRAPHICA ERRORS AND
BLUNDERS.

Some eighty years ago a newspaper
reader wrote private letter to Mr.. Wood
fall, at that time publisher Of the Morning
Chronicle, London daily paper. This
letter complained of Woodfall's want of
respect for the crowned heads of Europe,
whom he called not 'potentates," but "po-
tatos," and protested against Frederic the
Great being denominated "The Nero of
Prussia" instead of the hero. The edition
Of the Holy Bible (the Vulgate text) exc
cuted by order Of Pope Sixtus ", was in
tended to be free from literal errors, and
every sheet was narrowly examined as it
was printed. Nevertheless it abounds
with errata, and most Of the copies that
had passed into the hands of the public
were called in. Some few remain in the
collections OF the curious, and single
copy would be cheap at $l,500. In Ger
many, printers wife stole into the office
where new bible edition was in hand,
and, to alter the sentence of subsection to
her husband, pronounced upon Eve in the
third chapter of Genesis, took out the
first two letters of the word herr, and put
"na' in their place, by which the text was
altered from "and he shalt be thy lord"
cherry to "and he shalt be thy fool' (narr)
Her life is said to have paid for this.
The few copies of the Bible which got out
before this Intentional errdtum was dis
covered have been purchased at enormous
prices. The Vinegar Bible derives its
title from an edition of Holy Writ which
contains an errdtum in title TO the twentieth
chapter of St. Luke, in which Parable of
the Vineyard" is printed parable of the
Vinegar" This edition was printed in the
year l7l7 by the University of Oxford, at
their Clarendon Press.
In another edition, printed in London,
s'Thou shalt commit adultry" was printed
as the seventh commandment, emitting the
negative. This was also said to have been
woman's miscellaneous work. The
Archbishop of Cante, bury, when the alter
alton came under his notice, laid on
the Worshirful Company Of Stationers in
London the heaviest fine that ever WAS re-
corded in the annals Of literary history.
The amount, l believe, was $l00, 600.

ITEAETEFFULNESS OF LEMONS.

When people feel the need Of an acid,
if they would let vinegar alone and use
lemons or sour apples, they would feel
Just as we'll satisfied and receive no in
jury. And suggestion may not come
amiss as good plan when lemons are
cheap in the market. A person should
at these times, purchase several dozen
at once and prepare them for use in the
warm days of spring and summer, when
acids, especially critic or malic, or the
acids of lemon and ripe fruits ale SO
grateful and useful. Press your hand
on the lemons and roll it back and forth
briskly on he table to make it squeeze
the Juice into a umbler-never into tin;
strain out all the seed, as they give
bad taste. Remove all the pulp from
the peels and boil in water-a pint to q
dozen pulps-to extract the acids. A
few moments boiling is enough, then
strain the water with the juice of the
lemons; put pound of white sugar to
pint of the juice; boil ten minutes;
bottle it, and your lemonade is ready.
Put teaspoonful or two Of this syrup
in a glass of water, and you have cool
ing, healthful drink.

TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN COT.
TON AND Wool IN FABRICS.

Ravel out the suspected cotton fiber from
the wool and apply flame. The cotton will
burn with fash, the wool will curl up,
carbonize and emit burnt, disagreeable
smell. Even to the naked eye the cotton
is noticeably different from the flaments
of wool, and under the magnifer this diff
ference comes out strongly. The cotton is
fattened, more Or less twisted band, hay
ing very striking resemblance to hair,
which in reality, it is; since in the condi-
ti,n of elongated cells, it lines the inner
surface of the pod. The wool may be re-
cegnized at once, by the zigzag, transverse
makings on its fbers The surface of
wool is covered with these furrowed and
twisted fine cross lines, of which there are
1900 to 1000 in an inch. On this struc-
ture depends its felting property. Finally,
SIMPLE and very striking chemical test
may be applied. The mixed goods are un-
raveled, little of The cotton fiber put into
one dish and the wooden in another, and q
drop of strong nitric acid added. The cot
ton will be little or not at all affected, the
wool, on the contrary, will be changed to a
bright yellow. The color is due to the de-
yelopment of a picrate.
