The London Lancet says that ague is
now such rare disease in England that
researches into its pathology and etiology
have been little prosecuted of late. The
majority of Medical writer's hold that the
sole cause of fever and ague is the pre-
valence of marshes, but there is strong
evidence to prove that water has much to
do with it. The Lancet points to the
prevalence of the malady at Cyprus as Of
fering an excellant opportunity for a
careful inquiry at the instance of the
Government. The sick list there has not
decreased.

Mrs. Hayes recently received at the
White House the seventy-three female
delegates to the Women's National
Christian Temperance Union. Two of
the ladies made speeches and the Presi-
dent cordially responded, saying that
Mrs. Hayes would show the company the
house, that they might see what kind of
a housekeeper she was. Accordingly
Mrs. Hayes escorted them through the
mansion, presenting flowers to the two
speakers. One of the glass globes of the
chandeliers happening to fall during the
reception, each lady carried off piece as
a souvenir.

Miss Clara Louise kellogg, when show
ing her jewels to Chicago reporter the
other day, is quoted as relating this story
concerning one of her bracelets: "Years
ago when I was in England with my
father and mother, the Duchess of Somer-
set showed US great deal of attention,
and among other guests we were invited
to meet were the Duke and Duchess of
Newcastle. They, of course, entertained
great deal, and during the races at
Brighton filled their house with guests.
The first day or two of the races the Duke,
who had bet heavily and lost immense
sums, and being a little superstitious,
telegraphed an invitation to my parents
and self to come down, believing, he add
ed, that i would bring him luck We
went. and funny enough, the day after
arrived he won $4,000. and on the eve
of my departure for America, sent me this
souvenir, with graceful note.'

The latest allusion to the domestic life
of Charles Dickins is furnished by Lon
don letter to the Auburn Aduertiser, which
says: sit will be gratifying to thousands
of Dickins' admirers in America to know
that the wife of Dickens and Miss Ho-
CART, her sister, are reconciIed, and both
united in compiling memoir of the nov
elist. In an interview one evening with
George Cruikshank, last December, at
his residence in Hampstead, he told me
that the difference which arose between
Dickins and his wife grew out of her
frequent criticisms, and what he thought
intermeddling with his own exclusive
creations, until he insisted upon their
living apart in the same house at Gads-
hill. This che declined to do and al
once took up her residence with Mr.. and
Mrs. Cruikshank. His eldest son, siding
with his mother, left also at the same
time. Mr.. Cruikshank added There
was no scandal otherwise connected with
the matter"

The world owes, in the form of bonded
debts, about $4,000 millions of dollars.
The best estimates of the amount of gold
in the world gives it at 10000 million of
dollars. Yet the world is asked to do
all its business and to pay all its debts in
gold. A few banking houses in Europe
own most of this gold and own most of
the mines that produce gold. The figures
and the fact tell the story-these few
owners have the business of the world at
their mercy, and can make panic like
that of 1878 whenever ey want to do it.
About the only hope there is for the pay
ment of this enormous debt Is through
the Millerites.

BEAUTY REST.
Hint to Ladies' on the BanishiDg of
Wrinkles.

Wrinkles.
The London Pail Mall Gazette says:
"What should the lady do who perceives
the first trace of a crows foot in the face
reflected by her mirrorY She should lend
an ear to the Comtesse de Bassanville, edit
ress of the Almanach du Savoir-Vivre. In
the number for the year 1879, lust issued,
sound advice Is offered as to the best means
Of opposing the ravages of time. Crows
feet, indeed, can not be altogether removed,
but there Is no reason why they should as
sume too prominent an appearance If ma.
lures own most agreeable remedy be resort
ed to. When you are past twenty five,' says
Nine. de Bassanville (and her counsels are
rendered to gentleman as well as ladies), 'nev-
er let more than five or six hours pass without
closing your eyes for short time-ssy ten
minutes; not necessarily to sleep, but to re-
pose the muscles of the eye.' OF courle every
movement and play Of the face necessarily
tends to fatigue these muscles, whether it be
q smile or the expression of surprise or fixed
attention. The closing of the eyelids at in
tervals is therefore recommended as beauty
rest The muscles reposed, lose their ten
dency to that nervous contraction which
translates itself into wrinkles. 1t might,
however, be objected to this prescription
that In our busy age few persons can ind
leisure to close their eyes at odd times dur
ing the day; that to many enforced inaction
q condition OF absolute repose without
sleeps intolerable; and, finally, that if a
man or woman happens to be tired a 10
minutes nap may develop into 40 winks, or
a long doze, which is refreshing enough at
the time, but loses q precious slice of the
day and insures sleepless night Few, in
deed, share that enviable popularity of the
late Baron Bunsen, who could go to sleep
for three minutes and then wake with
powers restored and single hearted appe-
tIte for Egyptian chronology or any other
light work"

Captain Salvi, says the London Sportsman,
has successfully accomplished the feat of
riding from Bergamo. in Lombardy. to Ma
Piles, a distance of 800 kilometres, or about $50
English miles, in ten days, on Leda, Sar-
dinisn mare, the property of an Italian cav
airy officer. The mare Is Ssrdinian born and
bred, but her grandsire was pure Arab. She
stands little over IA II hands, and is said to
be about years old, gray, with an Arab
forehand and very plain hind quarters. The
last stage from Csserts to Naples was ridden
not without the greatest difficulty, the gal
liant little mare being distressed beyond
measure. On arriving within the precincts
of the city, with half an hour to spare,
she was unable to move an inch farther
and could not proceed to the cavalry
barracks, as had been arranged. She had
to bs put up at the nearest stable,
where she lay down dead beat, trembling all
over and refusing food and water. Thanks,
however, to the care bestowed upon her, she
was comparatively all right again the follow.

large sum in addition for a oontroilisg in.
terest in his reserved European territory,
and that the ex secretary OF the treasury will
sail in an early steamship to place the inyen-
tion before the European public. Many of
those interested in the new enterprise were
holders of the city gas stocks and have been
quietly unloading, and it is asserted that an
offer has been made to the company by en-
tirely responsible persons of 100000, over
and above the royalty, foT the right of oper-
ating and selling the invention in one of the
largest states of the Union.
The jet or lamp, as Mr.. Sawyer calls it, be
says costs less than 81 to manufacture. 1t is
hermetically closed, and as no oxygen can be
admitted, there can be no combustion. and
consequently no burning out of the carbon
points. The lamp consists of two sets of con.
ductors, supporting diaphragm, or plate. An
upright bar on this diaphragm supports an
other bar running transversely from its top.
From this transverse bar depends carbon
pencil, about one-slxth of an inch in thick
ness, which is the light giving substance.
Underneath the pencil, but not touching it,
is piece of metal called the anvil which
also rests on the diaphragm. The whole ap-
paratus is iDclosed in glass secured to
a stand. The entire lamp is seven and a
half inches high and two and a half inches
in diameter.
At an exhibition of the invention on Sat
urday, after the engine that produces the
electricity was started, small key turned
on the light The carbon points within the
lamp became first of red heat, and then
became perfectly whi e, resembling the in
tensity of the sun at atnoonday, and producing
the same affect as it upon the eyes. The in
tensity, however, was easily modified to any
required degree, and the light was uniform,
steady, and under as perfect control as gas
light.
1t is claimed that the new light, when in
practical use, will be wholly free from many
objections attending the use of coal gas, like
smoke, SCOT, deterioration of the atmos
pheTe in houses, and danger from asphy xia.
As it is impossible to ignite anything by
means OF this electric light, it is claimed
that the Sawyer system, when in use, will
materially reduce insurance rates.
Mr.. Sawyer, and those interested with
him, feel confident that he has completely
solved the problem of electric light in all it's
details There remain merely q few me-
chanical obstacles to be overcome, that he
says are of easy solution, in order to adapt
the light to the every day uses of life. They
are in rapid process of accomplishment, and
the inventor and his friends assert that,
within the next two weeks, lights will be
arranged in q large building, where the
whole system can be shown and explained
to the public.
