Cheapest Place in the World.

"Coming down to the question
of cheapncss and comfort" said
Mr.. Bridge, 81 believe that the
Island of St. Michael, the pearl
of the Azores, is about the best
place in the world. The climate
is soft and agreeable, the scenery
lovely, and the people noted for
their simplicity and kindness.
Labor is very cheap, and conse-
quently the roads leading from
the town of St. Michael are of
the finest character. The streets
are kept marvelously clean. The
island is about thirty miles square
and picturesque. One can buy
five eggs for two cents, chick
en- for twelve and a half cents,
beef for three cents a pound, and
rent a good house at seven dol
lars a month. You can live well
for six hundred dollars a year,
handsomely for seven hundred
dollars, and live in superb style,
keeping carriage and horses for
one thousand dollars.
The gardens are beautiful fea-
tnres of the island. In one gar
den there are four thousand plants
of different varieties. The land
is owned by few rich people,
and rents very high. A quarter
of an acre brings fifteen dollars
a year. The peasants or labor
ing people go barefooted and
live very economically. Proba-
bly, one hundred dollars a year
supports small family. The
fashions in dress have not chang
ed in a hundred years, and this
applies to the best society. The
women wear copakes, a garment
reaching from the neck to the
feet and bearing. some resem-
blance to the "ulster" which the
American ladies wear. The head
covering is called a ''capilla," "
and is like one Of the old-fash-
ioned New England bonnets, but
it is attached some way to the
copake. A girl, seeing a stran-
ger approaching, conceals her
face with the capilla. The ma
tive people recognize their friends
by their feet.

A Roland for an Oliver.

An old dyed-in-the-wool Re-
publican hailed one of the edi-
tors of the Ohio Democrat
few days ago:
"Well, sir, how are the Dem
ocrats getting along, anyway?
How is Ben Hill and his baby?D
swell, sir, first-rate," said the
d. e. "Old Simon Cameron and
the widow Oliver have been to
see the baby; Senator ConkIing
and Mrs. Kate Sprague have
given it some attention. John
Sherman and Eliza Pinkston
have been giving it Bulls syrup
and now talk of adopting the
waif and getting Henry Ward
Beecher to baptize it and Bob
Ingersoll TO stand as godfather
to the child" Whereupon
the old Republican made a b
line and got out of hearin. a.
quickly as possible. He now
takes the other side Of the street
when he sees the Democratic
leditor coming.

Conversational Proprieties.

The term ''genteel people
this, that, or tho other is "yery
genteel' are terms not to be
used, or very seldom. Substi-
tute for them such words as
"highly accomplished" ''good
taste" ""gen,lemanly, Pete. tits
not we'll for lady to say eyes,
sir" and "no, sir, ITO a gentleman
acquaintance, or frequently to
introduce the word "slr" at the
end of her sentences, unless she
desires to be exceedingly re-
served towards the person with
whom she is conversing. Such
words as 81 guess" Il calcu-
late" and II reckon" are to be
avoided as much as possible;
and, when relating a converse
ton, it is scarcely refined to use
the expression "says he," OF
"says she," or "you know"
Interrupting one who is speak
ling, even though it be an inti-
mate friend, is graceless and
unbecoming. Laughing at ones
own story, is a short way of
spelling tiff it have any wit il
will be appreciated. Speaking
of any person who is at a dis.
tance within sight, it is rude
manners to point at him. For
getting names, or mistaking one
for another, often indicates i'll.
hammered heedlessness-thus,t ,tt
say, Mr.. What-d'y d'ye-call-him, OF
You know-who, What's-her'
name, or. How-d'ye-call-her
Another most offensive practice
lis that of taking a person aside
to whisper, in a room wher'
there is company. Looking on
another in the face in converse
Ition is essential to secure lif
and interest. In speaking of
Yourself and another person
whether he is absent or present
Ipropriety requires us to mention
ourselves last, IN all cases am
under all circumstances; thu
we should say, 'sIie and /, "yo

Domestic Bliss.

"Dalling," said the wife of o
Bohemian the other morning as
he started off with the market
basket in his hand, "there is just
one thing that I never have
enough of. l do wish you'd
bring me some to-day"
"What is it, dear?"
"Can't you guess?"
ooh, yes, | know. You shall
have it, sweetness.
And off he trndged, and when
he came back and handed the
basket to his wife he looked as
happy as if his rich aunt in
England had just gone to heay-
en- and left him sole heir to all
her earthly property.
The wife was a little surpfis-
ed when she looked into the
basket to discover that her hus-
band had brought back nothing
but a remarkably long tongue.
She was too shrewd a dIplo-
matist to manifest any surprise.
On the contrary she looked graf
flied, and said to her spouse:
"How very kind you are" But
she quietly resolved to get even.
As soon as breakfast was over
that Bohemian's wife took the
basket and tripped lightly away
and did some marketing on her
own account. And when Mr..
Bohemia went home to dinner
that day, his wife met him with
a smile of triumphant delight
and told him that she had some-
thing for him that she thought
be would like and that she was
sure he needed. And she led
him gently to the table and
said, "take this, darling," as she
offered him some brains.

A Sacred Number.

To begin with, the number
seven was by the Jews of old
looked upon as being in a meas
ure sacred number. The sew
enth was the Sabbath, and that
of course was venerated as the
day of rest; but besides that
there was the week or period of
seven years, during the last of
which the earth was unworked,
and left in a state of repose.
Then, too, there was the time of
seven weeks or seven years, or
forty-nine years, at the expira-
ton of which came the great
Jubilee. When visited by those
wonderful visions which are in
corporated in the. Apocalypse,
the exile of Patmos could not
fail to have noticed, as we do
now, the singular repetition of
the number seven in the various
phases of the Revelation. There
were the seven churches to which
messages were sent, the seven
golden candlesticks with their
seven branches, the seven ever
burning lamps, while in the fig
uratiye description of the last
day, St. John is reported to have
heard seven trumpets sounded,
to have seen the seven vials of
wrath poured out, the seven stars
falling from heaven, to have seen
the breaking of the seven seals,
and to have flown in spirit with
the seven executing angels. In
the days when holocausts were
looked upon as pertinent form
of religion, the number seven
was not overlooked. Thus Jobs
friends offered a sacrifice of sew
en- calves and seven heifers. Da-
vid, at the time of the translation
of the ark of the covenant, i'm
molated the same number Of VIC
tins; and Abraham offered a
sacrifice of seven sheep when
making an alliance with Abime-
lech. BY the by, the chief Isra-
elitish feasts of similar instances
might be multiplied without end.
Passover and Pentecost are sep
arated by an interval of several
weeks, ff n

Hard on the Company -

A good ''driye" was. perpetra-
ted upon q Connecticut Western
conductor a few days ago. A
man boarded the train at a way
station and paid his fare to a
point a few miles distant. On
reaching his destination he con-
cluded to proceed a further sta
ton and finally continued on um-
til he reached Winsted. Each
time he paid his fare in cash to
the conductor, instead of buying
a ticket at the station, although
by this means the passage cost
him considerably more. AT last
the conductor spoke to him of
this and suggested that it would
be economy for him to buy a
ticket, and asked him why he
didn't. llam
"Well," said the passenger, Il
l.
will tell you. Some time last
summer got into a little trouble
with this company and they used
me mighty meanly, so | just said
to. myself, THAT Connecticut
Western Company won't never
get another cent of my money
If / live a hundred years. and
they won't and that's why | pay
my fare to the conductors"
The conductor dropped tbs
conversation at that point,

A RUMsELLER's WIFE.

Il - - ---t|-~ - - = - -
What must be the feelings Of
the rumseller's wife as she pa
rades in gaudy fineries bought
with the money squandered ON
rum by selfish men who feed their
Town base appetites, forgetfuI of
the wants Of poorly clad wives
and famishing children? Mrs.
/ Martha Bunting, the unfortuhate
wife of an inebriate, is compelled
Ito earn bread for herself and chill
dren by doing odd jobs Of, sew
ling. The wife of a New York
|rnmseIler, in whose store Mrs.
Bunting's dissipated husband
spent most of his earnings, was
recently applied to for work, and
gave the poor woman a child's
sacque to make, promising to re-
munerate her with the sum Of
$3.50. After a weeks toll, for
the sewing woman is an invalid
and cannot work rapidly, the
sacque was finished and brought
home. The pale-faced woman
meekly awaited her promised re-
ward, but was astounded When
the. rumseller's wife refused pay
ment. On what ground? the rea-
der asks. The rumseller's wife
coolly said in explanation: "Your
husband owes mine two dollars
and fifty cents, for liquor sup
piled him, and the making Of this
saeque cancels the debt"
All this is literally true. Such
a woman is a true helpmeet for
.rumseller. 1t really seems that
those who prosper by the sale of
rum, and the consequent degra-
dation of their customers, are not
only unprincipled, but heartless.
( Ihaye a aloathing, have tho
rough disgust, for the gew-gaws
of rum-bought wealth. When
| get into the horse-cars and smell
the foul stencil Of liquor; when I
go into the streets and find the
same, see behind me that brown
stone mansion built Of rum, and
behind that again see the paliid
faces, shivering forms and hut-
tering rags of a numberless host.
And | would have had one of the
daughters of the owner of that
mansion stand by at the door,
and watch their fathers victims
as they march into the docks of
the police court every day. Il
would take another child, and
thepolice should lead her through
all the dark alleys and passages
where broken-hearted mothers,
and children without parents or
food, attest the manner in which
her parent made his money. Ih-
temperance cannot be cured N
legislation or by sermons. The
is the root of the evil,
and until it is made a crime to
sell intoxicating beverages, in
temperance will continue to ex-
