The persistence with which humanity at
taebes itself to fertile land without regard to
danger Is illustrated elsewhere than here.
The peasants ON the slopes of Vpsuylus push
their cultivation and plant their homes In the
very track OF u possible lava stream, and. all
the world over, facility for obtaining n liveli-
hood blinds the cultlvater to all risks. Groh-
man says I'm the WildSehonau, North
Tyro. not few OF the houses are built on
such steep slopes that heavy chain has to be
laid round the houses and fastened to some
firm objeet-a large tree or bowlder Of rock
higher up. In one village of the Puster
Thal and In two others off the Oberiun
Thai, many Of the villagers come to church
with crampoons ON their feet. the terrible
steep slopes on which their huts are built,
somewhere like q swallows nest on the wall
requiring this precautionary measure. 3
In Moos-a village not very far from the
Bremen, having population Of 800 lnhabi-
tants-fuore than 800 men and women have
been killed since 1853 by falls from the inored-
IDLY steep slopes upon which the pasturages
of the village are situated. SO steep are they,
In fact, that only goats, and even they not

spike-shod mower. The haymakers gather
their little crops here and there on the steep
grass-patehes, almost at the limit of vegeta-
ton, pack 1t in nets or sheets. and bring it on
their shoulders down the steep and dangerous

OF n level plateau Mt the top Of the lower
mountains. Alps which are even nearly level
are very rare, especially among the higher
elevations. Generally they are so steep. so
broken and inaccessible that one wonders how
cattle get to them. and how they can be
trusted to Craze over them. These Alps are
bounded by no fences. and it must be an anx-
iOus task for those who have the herds In
charge to get them safely together by milking

hollow-soundng, dull cow-bell with which We
are familiar, but musical In tone and heard

The habit OF lunching in the very presence
OF dinner, or going to a side table and eating
your fill OF anchovies, raw behring's, smoked
beef and cold eel pie while dinner is on the
very table, still prevails and Is hardly con-
duclve To health. 1t is said that the habit OF
taking "a sup" as the Swedes call 1t, arose
from the scarcity Of delicaces. 1t was hard to
get enough Of any one nice thing to make a
meal of, SC you were first deicately innuen-
doed off to the brandy table,shs it is called,
and then allowed to sit down to dinner. The
practice is universal In Sweden. Private
houses, hotels and boarding-h houses all feed
you Oh preliminary scraps, and woe be to you
II you innocentlv turn away from the prefer
ed luneheonl You fare like an ascetic and
feed yourself on odors. The ordinary routine
OF dining seems in Sweden to be in wild con-
fusion. Soup sometimes ends instead OF
beginning the dinner. Iced souDs and
cold fish are dainties to the Scandinavian
palate. Much Of the soup Is nauseously
sweet, Favored with cherries, raspberries and
gooseberries, often with macaroon cakes and
spikes OF cinnamon floating wildly about in
it.. This is eaten as sort OF dessert, and is
cold and often beautifully clear. II helms

The Era OF Pretty women la London.
IN. Y. World.l

A good friend Of mine declared tho other
night that he did not believe the state OF
morals in fashionable life was ever so low ar
1t is to-day. We have now entered upon the
pretty woman" era, money itself being lesp
sought after than beauty. IF man chances
TO have pretty wife, all doors are open IL
him-he can go anywhere, although to be
sure, he does not count for much when he does
go.
There are about half dozen beauties now
In London already to begin the season-mar-
ried beauties, mind you, for bread-and- butter
misses are no longer in fashion. The pretty
married women are ever 80 much more
piquant. The knowing people who want to
form sex OF acquaintance In the exclusive
circle get these pretty ladies to their houses
and all the men soon follow. OF course stories
get about-how can one help that2 People
will talk, and page Of your paper would not
contain all the scandalous tittle-tattle that
goes from one house to another. pretty
woman mania In community is sure to be
attended with disadvantages Of that kind.
But who cares2 Not the pretty women ap-
parently. Not their husbands. The keynote
OF the season has been struck and it Is O. pop
ular one.
Ask all the good looking young married
women whom you can Scrape acquaintance
with to your house. Get six OF them to dinner
on one evening. Let them be dressed In the
height Of the mode, which Is rather low. Ask
few Of your male friends (all OF the best ton.
be 1t well understood) to drop in after dinner.
They will drop In fast enough. The word will
reach far and wide that your parties are the
best In London and half the aristocracy will
be begging for your invitations.

How the Thing stands.
LBaltImore Gazette. ]


IT may interest the public to know that
while the Democrats have majority Of ton in
the United States Senate to-day. no less than
fourteen Democrats will retire In 1881 Among
those who go out are Thurman, Wallace,
Eaton. Mcdonald. Herman, Randolph and
Bayard With the exception of Mr.. Bayard,
these gentlemen represent close and doubtful
States. Nothing but careful legislation aud
sensible policy from this time forward will
enable the Democrats to carry the Legsa-
lures OF New York, New Jersey. Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana. Seven Senators whose
terms will expire In 1881 will undoubtedly be
returned. or gentlemen Of like political faith
i'll replace them. They are Withers, of Vir-
ginia: Hereford. Of West Virginia. Bailey of
Tennessee; Jones. Of Florida. Maxey. of
Texas; Whyte Of Maryland, and Cockrell Of
Missouri. change In five States would loss
the Democrats the control of the next Senate,
and 1t is toward this end that the energies of
the Republicans are henceforward to be
directed, In view Of all this It Is quite likely
that unless Measrs. Kellogg and Ingalls, can
show very clear titles to the seats which they
occupy they will be invited to step down and
