THE New METHOD OF PLAsrERINa.-
Mr.. Hitching, Of Stoke Newington, Eng
land; has introduced . new method of
forming ceilings and other plaster work
which, for durability, saving Of time, and
cleanliness, is unrivaled. BY means Of
this system the plaster is prepared before
hand in slabs, which are fixed expedi-
tiously to the joints, forming the ceiling
at once as ID would he when lsthed and
plastered with the two coats of lime and
hair in the old process. When the plas-
ter is set the slabs are nailed to the joists,
as before mentioned, and the joints are
made good with plaster of paris. The
third or finishing layer Of line and plas-
ter il then applied to the ceiling in the
ordinary way. Besides the advantages
derived from rapid fixing, with the mini.
mum Of dirt and inconvenience, the new
ceiling il practically cninfAmmable, and
very economical to put up. Moreover,
unlike the old plsster ceilings. IL can

fact besides being self-supparting. IL

The Feeling About Fraud.

The cases of voluntary bankruptcy
have of late become so numerous that
certain merchants in the vicinity of
the market in this city have formed
league for mutual protection and
defence. The problem of giving credits
has become one of the most difficult
of any connected with business. No
one can tell who intends to stand the
strain of stagnant times in the spirit of
honesty and honor. and who will run for
refuge to the bankrupt act as soon as he
sees he is to be harassed in his turn, or
that he may do better by relinquishing
business than by continuing. On this
and other grounds the present bankrupt
law has been severely criticised, and its
modification is to-day demanded with an
increased emphasis. When no one can
trust another in business matters. which
is alleged to be the condition to which we
are fast coming, it may az weif<b6 admit
ted that the bottom is falling out.
Every day, people are obliged to con-
TESS their surprise at what they witness
among business men. 1t is freely assert
ed that the bankrupt law is temptation
to them. They are offered almost every
facility they could ask for getting rid Of
their obligations. and hence it is to be
expected that there would be more fail
ures than there need to be. The object
of the association of business men in this
cityis to resist this tendency by creating
barrier for their own protection. In
stead of giving credits for the purpose of
having so much of their own stock go
into bankruptcy court, they propose to
give them only where they may feel as
sure as possible that they will return to
them again in a legitimate business man.
ner. 1t is time something was done to
stay tide that threatens to sweep away
the only remaining landmarks Of mercan-
tile stability and honor.-Aass. Plough

Birds and Human Nature.

What is that legend of Mrs. Plstt's
poem about the bird in the brain! Birds
are perhaps the most human of creatures,
and should not be surprised If told we
all carry more or less of them in our
hearts and brains. have seen the hawk
looking out of the human face many
time, and l think have seen the eagle;
credit those who say they have seen the
owl. Are not tho buzzarfs and unclean
birds terribly suggestive2 The song-birds
were surely al brooded and Matched in
the human heart. They are typical of its
highest aspirations, and nearly the whole
gamut of human passion and emotion is
expressed more or less fully in their varied
songs. Among our own birds, there is
the song of the hermit thrush for de-
voutness and religious serenity, that of
the wood-thrush for the musing, melodi-
Gus thoughts of twilight, the song-spar-
rows for simple faith and trust, the bobo-
links for hilarty and glee, the mourning
doves for hopeless sorrow, the viero's for
all-day and every day contentment, and
the nocturne of the mocking-hird for love.
Then there arc the plaintive singers, the
soaring, .ecstatic singers, the confident
singers, the gushing and voluble singers,
and the half-voiced, inarticulate singers.
The note of the pcwee is human sigh,
the piping Of the chickadee unspeakable
tenderness and fidelity. There is pride
in the song of the tanager, and vanity in
that of the cat bird. There is something
distinctly human about the robin; his is
the note of boyhood. l have thoughts
that follow the migrating fowl northward
and southwark, and that go with the sea-
birds into the desert of the ocean, lonely
and tireless as they. 'sympathize with
the watchful crow perched yonder on that
tree, or walking about the fields. I hurry
outdoors when hear the clarion of the
wild gander; his comrade in my heart
sends back the call.
THE PARTISAN HOTELS AND THE EXPO
sIT1oN.-There was meeting of the prin-
cipal hotel keepers in Paris on the cd
inst, with the view of agreeing upon
line of policy in regard to prices to be
charged during the exposition.
The meeting was presided over by NJ.
Havier, who called attention to the fact
that the Vienna Exposition had lost much
of its success on account Of the exagger-
ated prices charged by the'hotel keepers;
that these charges had driven away an
enormous number of people. He there
fore advocated the establishment of a
reasonable scale of hotel rates as being
not only best for the public, but their
own personal interest, and rs an induce.
ment to bring . crowd of visitors to
Paris.
1t vas resolved that the tariff of hotel
charges should only lie slightly advanced,
and that this advance should bear prin-
eipally upou tkose visitors who do not
take their meals In the hotels at which
they stop.

Durability Of Stone Monuments.

The arrival in the Th.mcs % Cleopat-
ra's Needle suggests TO German doctor
some interesting remarks ON the subject
of the durability of stone monuments in
northern climates. The Luxor obclisk,
erected in the Place dc la C"ncordc in
Paris in 1885, is, it is gathered from the
hierOglyphics upon it, some 3,400 years
old, having stood with another sill larger
one before the great Temple of Thebes.
The stone is syenite granite, of brown
ish red color. During the last twenty
eight years, the German doctor states, he
has carefully examined the obelisk four
times, the intervals between each of the
visits being about equal, and ON each oc-
casion he has been struck by the extent to
which the surface Of the stone has deteri-
GRATED during comparatively short time.
In 1874 the red color of felspar in the
granite was distinctly visible, showing
that the stone had not suffered 10y its ex-
posure for 8, 400 years to an Egyptian eli
mate. On each subsequent visit the doc
tor found the surface duller and lighter,
and in 1872 it was covered with q thin,
white film of kaoline, the last product of
the decay of granite. Thirty-six years,
therefore, of exposure to the atmosphere
of Paris has affected the stone more than
the purer air of Egypt. In the same way
the unhewn mass Of granite upon which
the statue of Peter the Great stands in st.
Petersburg has already been injured to an
extraordinary extent by the unfavorable
climate of Russia, and the writer is of opin-
ion that the atmosphere of London, damp
and charged with smoke, will very soon
damage in a still more marked manner the
surface of Cleopatra's Needle unless some
measures are taken to preserve it.
TIE DIVER AND THE SHARKs.-"I dove
once in Mobile Bay, where l put over
three hundred chains under an iron-clad.
The greatest annoyance that we bad there
was sharks. They DIDN'T hardly dare
tackle u.s.. because with our armor we
looked more like scarecrows than any
thing else. They would come sailing
along, and gradually swim mp towards us
with their great big mouths wide open,
but when within few feet Of us they
would stop and lay there fappin' their
fins and looking, it seemed to me, like
the very devil himself. Finally we de-
failed to brighten them so that they would
stay away an hour or longer before they
dare to come back. The armor that we
wear is alright, you know. Our jacket
sleeves were fastened around our wrists
with an elastic, so that the air could not
escape. BY running my finger under the
sleeve Of my jacket could let the air out,
and a. it rushed into the water it would
make sort Of Kissing noise and q vol
anne Of bubbles shoot up. So whenever
those Internal sharks would come prowl-
ing around me would hold out my arm
toward them and. putting my finger I'M
der the elastic Of my jsckes sleeve, would
let q lot Of air out and send . stream Of
bubbles into the sharks face With . hiss
lag noise like steam from . gage cnck.
Tse var that the sharks woGld 20 scooi-

NEED UP.

Our borough authorities have been debating for
some time the passage Of an Ordinance, prohibit
ing the sale and use Of Chinese fre-cracken on
the Fourth Of July, or on any other day. True
wisdom and common sense would have dictated
this much long ago, and Ito seems very strange
that individuals take upon themselves public du-
ties and then dodge most Of the responsibilities
and want somebody else to assume what they
have undertaken.
However, somebody has been looking up some
Of tho old borough laws, and among them he finds
the following Ordinance, passed on the Sd day Of
May. 1855, which reads as follows =
sscrios 8. That no per,on shall bs permitted
to hre or yet OF any 1re-bali, squib, rocket, or
other fireworks within the limits aforesaid aud
ell and every person or persons offending or yio-
lAting any Of the provisions Aforesaid shall be
fined 10 . sum not exceeding $50, nor lees than
VI, 10 be collected 40 other fines are now By law
recoverable.
Here We have an Irish 0rdinanes-one which
puts the "esrt before tbs horse" Now, n the
Borough Dads bad prohibited ne ,ais, instead Of
the use. they would have hit the nail on the head
aud thus 'uceesdsd 10 doing something proa,a-
bic. To make this Ordinances effective, II should
be amended 20 a, to prohibi, the sale Of the for.
hidden material, and then see that there 10 some.
body around to enforce the Law. Then No viii
have peace.
