PRESIDENT ARTHUR enters upon

PRESIDENT ARTHUR enters upon
the discharge of the duties of his
Office under very favorable au-
spices. While it was, in every
personal respect unfortunate that
Gen. Garfield was fated to linger go
long and endure such agony after
the dastardly onslaught Of Guiteau,
his sufferings were perhaps provi-
dentially decreed to assuage the
bitterness of the factions within
his own party. Had Chester A.
Arthur become President on the
2nd or 3rd of July there would
have been a great deal of bad blood
In the United States, especially in
the Republican party. The inter.
regnum, characterized by such un.
precedented pain and resignation
on the part of the dead President,
has enabled all partizans to chasten
and subdue their ferocious i'm
pulses. Nevertheless, it is sought
to place the President under a sort
of duresse, and to impose upon him
the cabinet of his predecessor.
There is neither good feeling nor
wisdom ia such programme. For
three years and a half to come Mr..
Arthur will be responsible to the
people Of the United States for his
administration OF their highest
trust. He will stand on q dizzy
height, and he should be accorded
all the ordinary balance poles and
other appliances which will enable
him to walk the Presidential slack
wire successfully. To drop the
smile of the saw-dust arena, Presi-
dent Arthur is entitled, on every
ground, to surround himself with
his personal friends-men who will
hold up his hands. In some of the
casts OF the new Cabinet the name
of Senator John p. Jones figures as
Secretary Of the Treasury. Ger
tainly no man of the age has shown
q more enlightened appreciation of
the fiscal needs of the country than
the Nevada Senator. His great
battles for hard money, and next
for due recognition of silver, have
been exceptional episodes in the
history of the United States. We
heartily believe that Jones would
make a great Secretary of the
Treasury-one in unison with the
real productive development of the
country; and, therefore, independ-
emily of party, we should like to
see confided to him that high trust.

How to Live.

The author of "Farm homes, in doors
and out doors" closes an interesting
chapter on right living with the follow
ing excellent advice: s'Have something
fer the mind to feed on; something to
look forward to and live for, beside the
round of daily labor or the counting of
profit and loss. If we have not any tai
emit for writing splendid works on politi-
cal economy or social science, or the gen.
ius for creating good story or fine
poem, the next best thing-and in fact
almost as good things to possess an
appreciation Of these things. So have
good books and newspapers and read
them--if only in snatches, and talk
about them at dinner-time or by the
evening fire. Cultivate choice fruits
and flowers and help some poor neigh
Dor TO seeds and cuttings, or take an in
terest in bees or fine poultry or trout
culture. Study always farm and
household science and take advantage
of the new and helpful things that are
every little while coming to light. Live
in peace! Fretting, worrying, fault
finding, borrowing trouble, giving way
to temper and holding long and bitter
grudges; all these things affect the liver,
poison the blood, carve ugly lines on the
face and shorten life. Try to be half as
wise as that little creature, the bee, who
takes all the honey she can find and
leaves the poisons to themselves"

Belshazzar and his Brother Bill.

Belshazzar Smith had very bad and
very dangerous habit Of walking in his
sleep. His family feared that during
one of his somnambulistic saunterings
he would charge out of the window and
kill himself, SO they persuaded him
to sleep with his little brother William,
and to tie one end of rope around his
body and the other end around little
William.
The very first night after this arrange
ment was made, Belshazzar dreamed
that a burglar was pursuing him with a
dagger. So he crept over Williams
slumbering form, jumped out on the
floor and slid under the bed He stayed
there while, and then, his nightmare
changing, he emerged upon the other
side of the bed, and he got under the
cover in his old place.
The rope, it Will be observed, was be-
meath the bed, it was pulled taut, too.
Early in the morning Belshazzer, about
half-awake, scourged over against VIII
liam; to his surprise the movement
ierked William clear out of bed. Bel
shazzer leaped out of bed to ascertain
the cause Of the phenomenon, and at the
same time his brother disappeared under
the bed. Belshazzar, hardly awake,
was scared, and he dived beneath the
bedstead; as he did SO he heard William
skirmishing across the bed-clothes over
his head. Once more he sushed out,
just in time to see William glide over
the other side. Belshazzar just then be-
came sufficiently conscious to feel the
rope pulling on him. He comprehended
the situation at once and disengaged
himself.
Perhaps little William was not mad.
He was in the hospital, undergoing re-
pairs, for about three weeks, and when
he came out he had a strange desire to
sleep alone.
Belshazzar now anchors himself to an
anvil.

Skilful Lock.Picking.

In the window of Messrs. Bramah
shop in Piccadilly, London, had been
hanging for nearly half century pad
lock of their ordinary make, to which
was appended painted board, offering
reward of two hundred guineas to any
one who would succeed in making ali in
strument that would pick or open it.
The exact size of this memorable lock
was as follows: Width, four inches;
thickness, one and quarter inch; over
the boss, two and three quarter inches.
The cylinder was two and quarter in
ches in length by one and half inch in
diameter. Negotiations were opened in
proper form, and an agreement was
drawn up, binding both parties to the
following conditions: The lock was to
be enclosed between two pieces of wood,
and secured to wall In such a position
that only the keyhole and the hasp we're
accessible. The true key was to be
sealed up, and not used until Mr.. Hobbs
had either picked the lock or abandoned
his enterprise. An iron band, sealed by
himself, was to cover the keyhole when
he was not at work. Thirty days were
allotted him for the performance of his
task, and three gentlemen of eminsnce
in the scientific world-viz., Mr.. George
Rennie, Professor Cowper, and DR..
Black-were appointed to act as arbi-
TRAITORS between the parties. ALI these
preliminaries being adjusted, the lock
was removed from the window to an
upper room of the establishment, and
Mr.. Hobbs commenced his operations

standing as to the terms Of the agree
ment. which rendered necessary an APP

Bananas.

Of late years the banana traCa Las in
creased wonderfully. Formerly they
were only shipped during what was
termed the regular season, arriving here
between May and August. But as ba-
nanas could be planted in the tropics
during any month in the year, and thus
grown and ripened every month, plant,
ers wers induced to try the experiment.,
and now, as is well-known, bananas are
seen on sale in our city markets, every
week in the year. Unlike other tropical
fruits we get it in its perfection. It is
not whit better eaten fresh picked from
the tree, than it is when brought here
after having been picked green and then
allowed weeks to ripen at sea and on
shore. 1t rather improves while other
tropical fruits are spelling, aud is never
better than, when half blackened and
looking too soft and far gone to be fit to
eat, it ''peeIs' at touch, and leaves a
delicious fruity pulp to be enjoyed de-
iberately. A true child of the sun, il
grows on the most tropical looking of all
trees. The great, green, herbaceous
trunk, looking like an exaggerated, and
ver-succulent corn stalk, grown into
the dimensions of q moderate-sized pear
tree, is crowned by its wealth of droop-
ing and enormously long broad leaves
the whole having an expression more
Enthusiastically and self-evidently
tropical than all that an ice bear ex
presses of polar life. The fruit grows
upon the top of trunk, which latter
ranges from eight to fifteen feet IN
height; each fruitful stalk bearing one
bunch of bananas, resembling, in posi-
ton and hanging, O sunfower IN the
height of its summer glory. The trees
have the property of keeping the soil
moist around them, and have, therefore,
been planted in proximity to coffee trees
in Venezuela, where long droughts oc-
cur. As that country cannot consume
all the fruit, it has begun to export ex-
tensively. With so many new sources,
OF supply, we may be quite certain that
our markets will be we'll stocked with ba-
nanas, and at low prices during their
season. They are perishable fruit, and
must be disposed of quickly; hence the
ACCESSIBILITY of low prices and ready
sales.

Kissed for LAFAYETTE.

A humorous variation to the song
sLet me kiss him for bis mother" is
here suggested by historic incident,
which, however, seems to have been left
somewhat in dispute. "About the year
1885," writes Josiah Quincy in the In
dependent, Sin going from Boston to
New York, I fell in with bridal party.
The gentleman introduced himself and
then presented me to his wife and to her
very pretty sister, who was travelling
in their company. After some chat upon
different subjects, the bride turned to
me, with an air Of well-assumed serious
ness, and said:
81 may as well tell you, Mr.. Quincy,
that I have long desired to make your
acquaintance, and determined to do so
when I found you were upon this boat.
There is an event with which you were
connected that has caused much un-
happiness in our family. 1t is in your
power to remove this unhappiness by
answering single question. Did you
ever kiss my sister?'
sAmazed at this singular inquiry,
could only say that, without betraying
the past, I should be glad, with the
young lady's permission, to qualify my
self to answer the question in the affir-
native from that time forward.
""That would not improve things,
said the bride, roguishly; for the fact
is, that this pert young thing has always
given herself airs because, when she was
four months old, and you were driving
through our town with Lafayette, she
was lifted up into the carriage, and, she
says, kissed by the general. Now the
old people who remember the time, tell
us that this notion Of hers is great mis-
take, for they are certain that, while
Lafayette was shaking hands with the
men on one side of the barouche, he
detailed you to kiss the babies on the
other"

Sponge Undertaking.

Sponge underclothing is recent nov
city, invented and patented in Berlin.
It is chancellor it that it can be cleansed
more easily than wooden goods, and,
being more flexible, does not chafe the
skin so much. It is bad conductor
and tends to keep the surface tempera-
ture uniform. One who wears this un-
derclothing is not likelyto take cold, for
it absorbs the perspiration without
checking it. After the mineral and
vegetable impurities in the sponges
have been sufficiently beaten by heavy
hammer to admit Of being readily
washed out, the sponges are dried and
pared with sharp knife. These par
ings are then sewed together. The fab
rio is prepared without any use Of pois-
onous dyes, which, as incorporated in
cloth underclothing, sometimes proves
very deieterious to the system.

HaIIucfnations Of Great Men.

Francis Gallon, in August Popular Science.1
The number of great men who have
been once, twice OF more frequently sub
ject to Authorizations, is considerable.
A list, to which it would be easy to make
large additions, is given by Brierre de
Boismont (Hallucinations, ETC.. 1852,
from which translate the following ac-
count of the star of the First Napoleon,
which he heard, second-handed from
General Rapp:
':In 1906 General Rapp, on his return
from the siege of Dantzic, having occa-
sion to speak to the Emperor, entered
his study without being announced. He
found him SO absorbed that his entry
was unperceived. The General, seeing
the Emperor continue motionless,
thought he might be i'll, and purposely
made noise. Napoleon Immediately
aroused himself, and without any pre-
amble, Selling Rapp by the arm, said to
him, pointing to the sky, "Look there,
up therer. The General remained sill
emit, but, on being asked second time,
he answered that he perceived nothing.
what! replied the Emperor, ''you do
not see it? It is my star; it is before
you, Brilliant then, animating by de-
grees, he cried out, cit has never aban-
doned me; I see it on all great occasions;
it commands me to go forward, and it is
constant sign of good fortune to me. >"
It appears that stars of this kind, SO
we'll known as metaphor In language,
are common hallucination OF the insane.
Brierre de Boismont has chapter on
the stars of great men. I cannot doubt
that fantasies Of this description were in
some cases the basis of that firm belief
in astrology which not a few persons
of eminence formerly entertained. The
Authorizations of great men may be &C.
counted for in part by their sharing o
tendency which we have seen to be not
uncommon in the human race, and
which, if it happens to be natural to
them, is liable to be developed in their
over-wrought brains by the isolation of
their lives. Aman in the position OF the
first Napoleon could have no intimate
associates; great philosopher who ex-
plores ways of thought far ahead of his
contemporaries must have an inner
world in which he passes long and soli-
tary hours. Great men are also apt to
have touches Of madness; the ideas by
which they rise to eminence, have much
in common with the monomania of in
sanity. Striking instances of great Wis
ionaries may be mentioned who had al
most beyond doubt those very nervous
seizures with which the tendency to hal
Inclination is intimately connected. To
take single instance, Socrates, whose
damon was an audible not visual ap-
pearance, was subject to what admits Of
hardly any other Interpretation than
cataleptic seizure, standing all night
through in rigid attitude.
