M. RUMIANKEFF, the editor of the

LORD HARRINGTON, the Ministerial
leader of the House of Commons, is heir
to one of the greatest and wealthiest
peerages in England, and statesman
almost by inheritance. But he has other
interests than those of politics. He is
fond of sport, fond of travel, and has
generally large capacity for enjoy

Minister, and has developed unexpected
power as debater and as practical
administrator OF his department-the
affairs of India.

dred years the heirs of the Duke of
Schomberg have drawn a nice income
from that grateful country. The Dukes
of Marlborough enjoy a perpetual pen
sion of $4,000 a year. The Duke OF
Wellington was given S3,500,000 by
Parliament to support the dignity of hi
dukedom, and a pension of $4,000 a
year for two generations. These are
among some of the larger grants. The
smaller ones are numberless, and many
of them the rewards of mere favoritism.

THE painful regularity of the brown
stone fronts in the side streets of New
York has frequently been commented
on. Of late better style of architecture
has become fashionable, and, although
several new atrocities are being perpe-
trated in the upper part OF the city, still
there is an evident desire for architec-
tural and decorative improvement. West
Fifty-seventh Street is a remarkable in
stance of this tendency, and the archi-
tectural style of the houses in that street
can not fail to attract the attention of the
passer-by. In the front of one house
which has been recently finished, carved
bricks have been introduced. The style
of the house, which is Lombardic, some
what freely treated, is fashionable in the
north Of Italy. The basement story,

The Supreme Hour.


There comes an hour when all lite's Joys and
pains
To our raised vision seem
But as the Pickering phantom that remains
OF some dead midnight dream
There comes an hour when earth recedes SC
tar,
It's wasted, wavering ray
Wanes to the ghostly pallor of star
Merged in the milky-way.
Set on the sharp, sheer summit that divides
Immortal truth.tr mortal fantisie;
We hear the moaning Of times muff1ed tides
In measureless distance die
Past passions-loves, ambitions and despairs,
Across the expiring swell
Send thro' void space, like watts OF Lethean
airs,
Vague voices of farewell.
All, then from LIES long-haunted dream we
part
Reused as a child newborn,
We feel the pulses OF the eternal heart
Throb thro' the eternal morn.

They Plagued Him.

A story is told of an English voter
who possessed influence, and who asked
the candidate to give his son letter of
recommendation to an officer at the ad-
miralty. The request was granted, but
when the youth called to deliver his Gre
dentis y he found that he had mislaid
the .cious epistle. However, he sue
ceef in obtaining nomination, and
son weeks after his return home dis
covered the lost letter Of ofrecommenda-
tion" among some papers. Having
done without it he had the curiosity to
open it, and was startled to find that it
contained an earnest injunction to
"throw every obstacle in his way" for,
as the writer added, / cannot disoblige
his youths father, and if he once enters
he navy he will be plaguing my life out
get him ship" The young man
was furious, but the father, practical
minded man. cooily remarked: SIT is
not worth making a disturbances; we
will take him at his word and plague
him for ship" which was done accord
in2ly. with success.

Keen Ahead.

One of the grand secrets of success in
life is to keep ahead in all ways possible.
If you once fall behind, it may be very
difficult to make up the headway which
is lost. One who begins with putting
aside some part of his earnings, how
ever small, and keeps it up for num-
ber of years, is likely to become rich be-
fore he dies. One who inherits prop
erty, and goes on year by year spending
a little more than his income, will be-
come poor if he lives long enough.
Living beyond their means has brought
multitudes of persons 10 ruin in our
generation. 1t is the cause of nine
tenths Of all the defalcations which
have disgraced the age. Bankers and
business men in general do not often
help themselves to other peoples money
until their own funds begin to fall off,
and their expenditures exceed their re-
ceipts. A man who is in debt walks in
the midst of perils. It cannot but i'm
pair a mans self-respect to know that
he is living at the expense of others. 1t
is also very desirable that we should
keep somewhat ahead in our work
This may not be possible in all cases !;
as, for instance, when a mans work is
assigned to certain fixed hours, ike that
of the operatives in mill. But there
are certain classes of people who can
hoose their time for the work which
they are called to do, and amongst them
there are some who invariably put off
the task assigned them as long as posi-.

The Skin,

The skin is wonderful beyond concep-
tion in the multiplicity of its parts, and
its diverse offices and relations Mil
lions of nerves connect it with the brain.
Thousands of arteries bring to il nOur-
ishment, and almost as many veins bear
away the waste. Millions of ducts
empty out the perspiration upon it. In
Vulnerable glands anoint it with lub-
ricating oil, and countless little scales
are constantly thrown from its surface.
So intimate and powerful is its con-
nection with the nervous centers, that
one kind of emotions instantly blanches
it, and another kind mantles il with q
burning blush-the first contracting its
vessels, the other dilating them.
The skin has its peculiar diseases, but
many of its ailments come from its readi-
ness to help other organs which are dis
eased or torpid, for it exceeds all others
in this vicarious power.
The skin is double. The outer-epi-
dermis-protects the nerves and vessels
of the inner from rude contact with, and
from the absorption of, poisonous or
harmful substances. To vaccinate we
have to break through the epidermis.
So, too, when this is sound, it is safer to
handle morbid matter; bat to do so with
the slightest scratch, or chate, Is some
times to incur death in its most frightful
form.
Warmth applied to the surface dilates
the blood vessels of the skin, and cold
contracts them. Hence, a warm bath
soothes and refreshes, by drawing the
blood to the surface; local lamentations
over an infamed spot within relieve the
pain by drawing away the blood. A
counter-irritant acts on essentially the
same principle.
Cold applied to the surface for briei
time contracts the vessels, and crowds
the blood back, which then returns with
accumulated force, producing health
full glow. If the vitality is low, this re-
action does not take place, and the cold
only harms.
Generally only the purestsoap (castile)
should be used in washing the hands, as
the alkali of most soaps tends to destroy
the epidermis.
No bathing of the whole body should
be protracted beyond a few minutes, else
the good effect of it is lost, even if seri-
Gus harm is not done. Sea bathing is
additionally beneficial from the stimula-
ting effect of its salts Youths C0npG's-

Commissioner Williamson, of the

annual report devotes considerable
space to tie subject of reorganization
and increasing the present force Of the
general land office. From the statistical
portion OF the report it is learned that
there were surveyed during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1880, 1888, ,253
acres ofpu6lic lands, and 1852, Isl acres of
private land claims. This is an increase
in the amount OF public lands surveyed
Of 725,347 acres over that Of the last
year. This great increase Is attributed
to the operation of the act Of March 8,
1879. which led to great increase in the
number of applications by private indi-
viduals for public surveys. Disposals
of public lands during the year were
made as follows:
