CHARLES LAMB.

A hundred years ago, next Wednesday,
Charles Lamb was born in the heart of that
city he loved so well, and in whose quaint
corners he loved to wander and to muse. A
Charles Lamb Centenary Festival at the
Crystal Palace, with odes, and dinners,
and speeches, and songs, is not to be
thought of, even if sufficient enthusiasm
for the genial essayist could be evoked.
Such a proceeding would be entirely out
Of harmony with the gentle spirit Of
his nature, and would be utterly devoid Of
sympathy with the finest parts of his char
acter. In some old, behind-the-age tavern,
quaint, and sand-foored, round rare old
punch-bowl, containing rare old punch,
one could imagine a few enthusiastic ad-
mirers of the genial humorist drinking to
his memory. And such would be the kind
Of centenary festival that he would have
desired, could the kindly essayist ever
have imagined the position he would have
held among the literature of England.
Charles Lamb lives in our hearts, and re-
quires no flourish of trumpets, nor waving
Of banners, nor fierce disputation to prove
that he was great and good man. ri
often shed tears" he said Gin the motley
Strand, for the fullness of JOY at so much
life" How he would wonder at the
changes, the life, the hustle, the turmoil
of the Strand, could he see it in the pres
ent day, and how curious 1t is that the
part that he loved best in London, namely,
the Temple, is less changed than any other
part of the metropolis. and could he return
to life he would find the chambers he once
occupied scarcely changed, and the houses
surrounding them hardly altered

A SPIDERS INGENUITY.

A spider constructed its web in an angle
of my garden, the sides of which were at
tached by long threds to shrubs at the
height of nearly three feet from the gravel
path beneath. Being much exposed to the
wind. the equinoctial gales of autumn last
destroyed the web several times. The in
genious spider now adopted the contri-
vance here represented. It secured conf
cal fragment of gravel, with it's larger end
upward, by two cords, one attached to each
OF its opposite sides, to the apex of its
wedge-shaped web, and left it suspended
as movable weight to be opposed to the
affects of such gusts of air as had destroyed
the webs previously occupying the same
situation. The spider must have de-
scended to the gravel path for this special
object, and having attached threads to a
stone suited to its purpose, must have
raised this by fixing itself upon the web,
and pulling the weight up to a height of
more than two feet from the ground, where
it hung suspended by elastic cords. The
excellence of the continuance is too evident
to require further comment.

A MODEL LAWYER.

esquire Johnson was model lawyer, as
the following anecdote will evince:
Mr.. Jones once rushed into the Squirrels
Office in great passion. 'HThat Internal
scoundrel of cobbler, Smith, has sued me,
Mr.. Johnson-sued me for five dollars I
owe him for pair of boots %
''Then you owe him the five dollars %
'"To be sure do; but he has gone and
sued me-sued me !"
''Then why don't you pay him, if you owe
him ?"
because he's sued me; and when a
man does that, I'll never pay him till it
costs him more than he gets. 1 want you
to make it cost him all you can"
"But it will cost you something, too"

charge to begin with p
"Ten dollars ard more if there is much
extra trouble
"An right! There's the X Now go
ahead !''
No sooner was the client gone, than
Squire Johnson stepped across to his neigh
Dor Smith, and offered to pay the bill, on
condition that the suit be withdrawn The
shoemaker gladly acceded-all he wanted
was his pay. The lawyer retained the
other five for his fee, and as the case was
not troublesome" made no further de-
mands upon his client.
Ten days after Jones comes in to see how
his case is getting along.
Cali right," said the lawyer. "You won't
have any trouble about that. I put it to
Smith so strongly that he was glad to
withdraw the suit altogether"
"Capital!" cried the exulting Jones.

BREAKFAsT IN GERMANY.

There is no family breakfast table as with
us, where sons and daughters gather round
the board, letters are received and read
newspapers scanned, and the great affairs
of the world as made known by the tele-
gram impaired and commented upon. we
look in vain for the damask table-cloth,
the steaming urn, the symmetrical ar
rangements Of plate and china, that wei
come US in the middle-class English house,
hold. No trim girls in bright cotton or
well-cut homespun gowns; no young men,
whose fresh faces tell of tubs and Turkish
towels, are here to greet US. There may be
linen cloth upon the table (though even
this detail is far from general). and there
will be coffee-pot, and milking, and
sugar-basin, set down anyhow anywhere;
basket, either of wicker Of Japan, piled
up with fresh Semnslsn, perhaps a stray
plate or two; disorderly group OF cups
of differe at colors and designs; no butter;
no knives and forks; possibly plate with
few milk-rolls, of somewhat finer -four
than the ordinary; and the breakfast
-equipage is complete. The first conner (if
lady, in dressing-gown and cap; if man,
in Schlafrock and Pantofeln) will help her or
himself to coffee and rolls, probably eating
and drinking like peripatetic philosophers,
for there is no inducement to sit down and
make yourself comfortable If it be win
ter-time, the coffee-pot and milking will
be placed on the stove instead of on the
table; and the next conner will go through
the same formula of solitary feeding, de-
parting, as the case may be, for the en-
joyment of the post-prandial cigar, or to
supplement the somewhat scantily repre-
sented mysteries Of the toilet The last
conner will enjoy the dregs Of the coffee
pot and the drains of the milk-jug on an
oilcloth cover or crumpled table-cloth, slop-
ped with the surplusage of successive cof-
fee-cups. and besprinkled with the crumbs

THE ApoPLErrc STROKE.

s A middle aged physician said one day to
the writer: Gas was walking down the
street after dinner I felt shock in the
back of my head, as if some one had struck
me; have not felt well since. I fear I
shall die, just as all my ancestors have, of
paralysis, What shall 1 do?" The answer
was, Diminish the tension on the blood
vessels, and there need be no fear of tearing
them in weak place." Now, this ex-
presses in plain terms the exact cause of
apoplexy in the great majority of instances /;
and it is one, too, which every one has it in
his power to prevent. A blood-vessel of
the brain, from causes which will presently
be mentioned, has lost some of its elastic
strength; food is abundant, digestion is
good; blood is made in abundance, but lit
tie is worked off in exercise the tension on
every artery and vein is at maximum rate,
the even, circuitous flow is temporarily i'm
peded at some point, throwing dangerous
pressure on another; the vessel which has
lost it's elastic strength gives way, blood is
poured out, clot is formed, which, by its
pressure on the brain, produces complete
Inconsistencies. This is the apoplectic
stroke. It will be perceived that there are
two leading conditions upon which the pro-
duction of the stroke depends; lessened
strength in the vessel, and an increased
tension on it.

BABIES RIGHTS. =

Bless the babies! must I come to their
rescue once more? Did not once rise to
explain how they were wronged by having
their hands thrust into mittens, and pre-
sented with sticky candy while thus invest
ed? Haven't I spoken piece about the
limp sun-bonnets hanging over one eye, to
the manifest injury and distress of the 9TH

feathers tackled on at various angles to the

For this ornament there always seems to
have been something sacrificed at the back
of the cap or hood; thereverse of foreshort-
ening is evident, and the baby assumes a
reckless, hardened air, which does not be-
long to it of right. Then, woollen feathers
seem to have a very brief hold on their
foundations, and swing around over one
eye, or back like the tail Of trapper's cap,

is just as good as an ostrich plume, and so

EyERYBoDY,s TROUBLES.

The earth is often spoken and written OF
as place of trouble, and human existence
is proverbially one of sorrow. But where
fore the trouble and sorrow? An instant's
reflection viii teach US that they cannot as
a rule result from the tremendous Attic
tions, the vast misfortunes, the agonizing
bereayements that sometimes visit us.
These are in fact rare events in any ones
life; some lives, indeed, may be said to be
entirely free from them. Wherefore, then,
all our pain, our care and heaviness? 1t is
a strange reflection, but no more strange
than true, that the great sum of human
misery is made up of petty miseries, which,
considered singly, seem contemplate, but
which present fearful aggregate of suf-
fering. 5S

CURE FOR HYDRoPHoBIA.

The recipe is that of III. Caesar, Fench
physician: Take two tablespoonfuls of
fresh chloride of lime, mix it with half
pint of water, and with this wash keep the
wound constantly bathed, and frequently
renewed. The clorine gas possesses the
power of decomposing this tremendous poi
son, and renders mild and harmless that
venom against whose resistless attack the
artillery of medical science has been so
long directed in vain. 1t is necessary to
add that this wash should be applied as
soon as possible after the infection of the
bite. The following are the results of this
treatment: From 1910 to 1924, the num-
