GOOD BOOKS FOR THE PEOPLE.

People who delight in good books are
rejoicing in the good work being done BY
the American Book Exchange, IS Beck.
man street, New York. By Introducing
the plan of publishing and selling books
direct to purchasers, instead of giving
the large discount usually allowed to
dealers and agents to sell for them i: by
working on the basis of the present cost
of making books, which is about one
half what it was few years ago, and by
printing very large editions, which also
greatly reduces the cost as compared
with small editions, they are able to fur
nish books at prices which, to most peo-
pie, seem truly astonishing, but which
they say are only reasonable. They
publish as follows:
Chambers's Cyclopedia of English Lit
erature, 8 vols, l6 mo. Price, complete,
paper, 600; cloth, $500; half morocco,
$4.75; half morocco, bound in 4 vols,

THE LATEST INVENTION IN
USEFUL HOUSEHOLD ARTICLES.

THE LATEST INVENTION IN
USEFUL HOUSEHOLD ARTICLES
Within the last few years there ha,
been expended great deal Of inventive
thought and genius upon what may
properally be classed as household arti.
cles, the most noted results efwhich are
the production of sewing machine. the
wringer, the washing machine, the car
pet sweeper, &c. Almost every week
we chronicle the advent of some new in
venti0n by which the cares and labors of
housekeeping are lessened, and woman's
work made easier.
The newest thing 70 challenge our At
tention and gladden. the heart Of the
housekeeper, is, what is called the Nov
city Brush Holder, Carpet Stretcher and
Sweeper, q very simple continuance de
signed to firmly hold in position any kind
of a brush or duster; having an extension
handle that enables one to wash or dust
windows, walls or ceilings without the
aid of step ladder. That is one of its
conveniences, and it is also one of the
best carpet sweepers in the market, hold
ing the brush firmly at any angle. 1t
cleans the carpet thoroughly, raises no
dust, and does not wear the carpet like
the ordinary broom or brush, and will
outwear half dozen brooms. As han.
die for the scrubbing brush it is the best
device ever made. no more kneeling on
the floor, no more back aches or sore fin
gers.
As carpet stretcher alone it il worth
its cost, as carpet of any size can be
laid evenly without any of thelabor and
vexation usually attending such work.
1t is strong, simple, thoroughly made,
cannot get out of order, has no screws,
lever or hinges, is compact, cheap and
durable.
1t is manufactured by Brown & Co.,

T. DeWITT TALMAGE.

The Church trial of the Rev. T. De-
Witt Talmage of Brooklyn, the brilliant
Pulpit Orator and graphic writer, has
terminated in his acquittal, and his vim
dicatien Is triumphant. The popular
feeling and belief is that the arraignment
resulting in the long trial was the DELHI
crate attempt on the part. Of, intensely
jealous pastors to wreck man who was
acting as q loadstone to deplete their
churches, while there was q great rush
for seats in the tabernacle where he
preached. The affair only lends addi-
tional interest to what he says and does.
During the last eight months he has de-
livered series Of remarkable Sermons
and Lectures against the vicious customs
of society, of the evils of local and gener-
al government, and of the practices of
both high and low life in New York.
That he. might have personal knowledge
of the facts on which to base these dis
courses, it will be remembered he made
many personal visits to the haunts of
vice aud wickedness in New York at
night in company with policemen and
elders of his church. The discourses
thus founded were of such interest that
they were published in the leading news
papers in Europe and America, and it
has been justly said that he has two con.

The Cabbage.

Just speak to fine lady about cab
bages and she will think you have men
toned one of the lowest things on earth.
Madame, you are wrong; it is one of the
most useful articles of food. Those an
cient nations did not know food science,
but they knew the value of good and
nourishing things and they gave them
the place of honor which they deserved.
Cabbages were thought of highly by
ancient nations, and the Egyptians gave
the cabbage the honor of letting it pre-
cede all other dishes; they called it a
divine dish, The Greeks and Romans
had great affection for cabbage and
conceived the idea, which | have N.Y.
self, that the use of cabbage keeps peo-
pie from drunkenness. l am persuaded
the constant eating of certain vegetables
kills the desire for alcoholic beverages.
The Greek doctors ascribed all kinds of
virtues to the cabbage. 1t was thought
to cure even paralysis. The Romans
thought even more of the cabbage than
did the Greeks. They ascribed to it the
fact that they could for 600 years do
without doctors, and Cato actually
maintained that cabbage cured all dis
eases. The ancients knew several kinds
of cabbage-the long-leafed green cab
bage, the hard white, so much used in
Germany tor "sauer kraut," or ferment-
ed cabbage, the curly and the red. This
last seems to have held the place of
honor,,an was at first introduced by
the Romans into Gaul or France and
then brought to Great Britain. Later
the green leafed cabbage was introduced.
The Greeks were fond of aromatic sea-
sonings-of oil, raisin wine and almonds,
They boiled or stewed the cabbage and
cnaCnnad II with alIrop,i, 4 or,
seeds, with oil, wine or gravy, making
rich dishes of vegetable which we now
boil in water and reckon among the
plainest food. Something like aremem-
brance of cooking cabbage among the
old Greeks has come down to the mod
ern Greeks, for they stuff cabbage leaves
with dainty mince-meats and then stew
them with gravy.-FO0d and Health

tween his kisses, you wanted to test
my heart, and so / thought it only fair to
let you test your own also. Do you think
| you would remember me, if you never
saw or heard from me for twenty-five
years, as Aunt Ethel did that lover of
hersP"
Harry l should remember you for
ever. / never, never would have mar
ried any one else, if you had staid away
altogether. But indeed it was cruel to
| try me so bitterly"
And how about you sending me
awayp"
81 won't ever do it again, Harry and
L never really wanted you to go. You
ought to have known that"
! A few nights afterward, as they all sat
together on the moonlit veranda, Aunt
Ethel said, very tenderly, "Children,
James and will be married next Thurs
day, and we shall sail for Calcutta imme-
diately. Could not the two marriages
be made at onceP Then Harry, Eloise
could live on at the old place, and keep
it from going to destruction. 1t is
Eloise's now; made it over to her to-
day, and Mr.. Green says you are going
into partnership with their firm, so |
hope you will have enough to keep love
from flying out of your windows"
Little more was said at the time, for
Aunt Ethel persistently turned the sub
ject, but when she came into Eloise's
room to bid the new bride elect good
night" the happy girl whispered: "Oh,
aunt, how generous you have been to
us! Surely Mr.. Early must be very
rich, to let you give us such magnif-
cent wedding present"
mo, dear, he is not. In fact, he is
yet what he calls struggling man. He
has great ventures on hand he may he
come rich, or he may lose nearly all he
has made. 1t is something about indigo,
dear, l know not what, andH don't care.
l am going now wherever he goes, and l
am a very, very happy woman"
Then Eloise whispered, slyly,
"Auntie, do you remember saying year
ago that a girl was little fool who mar
ried for loveP"
81 remember, dear. am wiser now.
and l say if the girl is little fool who
marries for love, she who marries with
out it is the most foolish and wretched of
women. On the whole, Eloise, l am
rather proud of our good sense-eh, my
darlingP"
Others, however, seemed to think
differently; for Lizzie Bruce. meeting
her friend Selma James one morning,
said: "Selina, what do you think?
Harry Torrens has come back, and
Cousin Eloise has actually forgiven him
everything and is going to marry him
l never would have done it. Would
youP"
Certainly l would not; but then
Eloise Bruce was always -on that sub
ject-a little fool. ."-HGrper'S Weekly.

Newspaper Borrowers.

An exchange recently published let
ter from lady subscriber in which she
complained bitterly of the annoyance
she experienced from the habit her fe-
male neighbors had of constantly bor-
rowing her paper. The exchange failed
to advise her on the subject, and as the
matter is a serious one we have ourselves
looked about for some method OF relief,
and now think we can offer the suffering
lady and all others similarly situated an
adequate means of succor. Here is our
plan: Let the lady Immediately upon re-
ceiVing the paper carefully cut from it
some item-it makes no particular differ
ence what it is-mOst any item will do,
only let it be neatly and carefully re-
moved from the paper. Then the fol-
lowing proceeding will be sure to ensue:
In few moments the neighbours boy
will;come after the paper-helwill take
it home-within three minutes he will
emerge from the house-he will scoot
down street and very shortly return with
folded newspaper of the same date as
the one just borrowed. By the time the
clipped paper has circled round among
all the female borrowers, the street will
be lively with hurrying boys, and the
revenue of the newspaper will be mater
tally increased. Not one woman among
them all would be able to sleep a wink
without knowing just exactly what that
cut out item was. The next day the
lady will pursue the same course, and
similar results will surely follow In
an extremely obstinate neighborhood
these proceedings have to be repeated
three or four days, but not longer. BY
that time the lady will be able TO read
her paper in peace, and the newspaper
finances will be the gamer through seYeal
new subscribers. The rule is infallible
where the borrowers are females, but it
can't be vouched for in the case of men.
There isn't that inherent curiosity to
work upon, you know, and-and-but
perhaps we are getting little too deep.

An Indians Fight with Bears.

An Indian known as " "PeaVine Tom "
has had a hand-to-hand encounter with
some bears on the mountain above
Bucks rancho which must have been a
terrible battle. He was hunting in the
locality spoken of and found "bear
wallow" in a little valley and suddenly
came upon five bears. He says hat he
shot one, killing it, when another at
tackled him. His only dependence was
in his butchers knife, and with this he
managed TO kill the second one. About
this time another attacked him, and the
conflict must have been fearful. Part
of the Indians scalp was torn from his
head, his face was badly lacerated and
his arm, side and one thigh were fairly
'eaten up" No bones were broken,
however, and he managed TO stagger and
crawl to the road, where he was found
and taken to Bucks rancho. Mr.. Wag-
ner dressed his wounds and at last ac-
counts he was improving and in a fair
way to recover. He says that he would
have been killed but that he kept his
face down most of the time and let the
bears bite his back. A party went out
to the scene OF the fight and found the
three bears dead and the Indians knife
sticking in one of them. He must have
been "game to the backbone" and de-
serves the title of the " boss bear
hunter. "-PalnlGS (Cal.) National

The Tunnel Under the Hudson.

Work on the proposed tunnel under
the North river between Jersey City
and New York is now in progress.
About forty men are at work building
the perpendicular shaft, which descends
by gravitation as fast as the soil beneath
is removed. When this mass of brick
masonry has been sunk about sixty
feet, the archway built into one side and
temporily bricked up will be opened, so
that the horizontal shaft, or tunnel
proper, can be pushed forward beneath
the rivers bed. On this latter part OF
the work an "aiT lock will be intro
duced, consisting of an iron cylinder
l6X6 feet, so arranged by means of a
hinged door that laborers can pass
through it into the compressed air
chamber and go on with the excavation.
The outward pressure of the air is ex-
pected to assist in excluding water and
upholding the roof of earth. Colonel
Haskin expressed himself to our re-
porter with enthusiasm, confident that
in the end he will succeed in one of the
most remarkable engineering feats of
modern times. The expectation is that
the Erie and Pennsylvania railroads,
the New Jersey Central, Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western, and other
important lines which are now depen.
dence on river transportation, will send
their trains through sthe tunnel, which
will have capacity for 400 trains every
twenty -four hours.
The tunnel will be about one mile
under the river, with approaches
at either end-l2,OOO feet altogether.
1t will be circular in form, 26x24 feet,
fitted with a double track railway.
Total estimated cost, $4,000, ,OOO.-

Why Some Birds Never Forage in
FIOcks,

Mr.. Wilson Flagg explains in the At
lGrstic Monthly why certnin birds. like
chickadees and robins, never forage in
compact flocks, as do the sparrows and
other grain eating birds. Their food
consists of insects, and hence they are
compelled 10 scatter. Their natural
gregariousness, however, causes them to
sound a note every now and then, in
order to keep within hearing. Wood
peckers do not call to each other while
feeding, because their hammering is
sufficient. Mr.. Flagg notices a singular
fact in the association together, vet not
in the same troop, of the downy wood
peckers and the chickadee. There
seems to be a sort of affinity, he says,
between the small woodpeckers, the
creepeTs and the chickadee. They do
not join company, but keep within hear
ing of one another from sociable feel
ing. When birds are grain-eaters, they
go in large, close flocks, like the red
winged blackbirds, because theiI food is
abundant.
