cireassian Story OF a Kiss.

NhAilinrA' Journal
A man was walking along one road.
and woman along anOther. The roads
finally united into one. and reaching
point Of the junction at the same time
they walked ON together. The man
was carrying large iron kettle on his
back; In one hand he held the legs of n
live chicken; in the other cane, and
he was leading a goat. They neared a
dark ravine Said the wOman: ell

you, II Is n lonely place. and you might

The Utter Gait.

The fashionable gait of the utter
young girl at this season, says the New
York Sun, is an importation, like most
of her articles of clothing. 1t is sup
posed to be an offspring of the utterly
utter manners of the London aesthetics,
who have set the fashion for languid,
willowy, weary wabbles, now the rage
of many fashionable gatherings among
young women, who, in spirit of in
tense unutterableness, gaze into the
depths of a new-blOwn lily or rose or
silently study the heart of field daisy.
Upon the avenues, however, the great
public sees the aesthetic walk undim-
med by the mellow light of a drawing
room and unameliorated 10y the rich
cOlOrs of Persian portieres and DagheS-
tan rugs. When the aesthetic appears
upon the front doorstep with her Lang
try hat, she shakes out the bangles on
her bracelets, pushes into better posi-
ton the Jacqueminot roses at her belt
or the field DAISIES in her fourth button
hole, then shakes out the puflings of
her polOnaise, raises balloon parasol
with its ivory handle carved like Gala
lily, and prepares to get into shape
for the fashionable gait. For the space
of minute her body seems to work
upon eccentrics. Her insteps go in
with jerk, her hips fly back, her spi-
nal column shoots forward at an angle
of about forty eight degrees and re.
mains rigid, her neck lifts, her chin
goes about an inch and five-eighths
above its normal line, her nose natural.
ly follows and perhaps improves upor
the incline, her arms to the elbow
points hug her sides, like willow
branches, while the hand that doe:
not engage itself with the paraso
hangs limp and languid. 1t require:
two teeters to give the shape inertia
and off the aesthetic goes. Her progress
defies accurate description. 1t ha;
been compared to the amble of tn,
kangaroo, but the naturalists insis
that the kangaroo's movements hav
some grace. Others say it is very lik
duck which flaps its wings, but tn,
duck does not have French heels.
man of science says that there is moth
ing like it in the animal kingdom, al
though the sea gulls on the Pacill
islands have something similar in thei
walk.

The Cost of Funerals.


a young English physician, Dr.
Charles w. Purdy. recently delivered
an address before the Chicago Medical
society in advocacy of cremation, in
which he made some striking state
ments rs TO the cost of funerals. This
argument, il not the strongest which
can be urged i'm favor of cremation,
may well be used to strengthen a pro-
test against the wicked and ridiculous
extravaganza which almost universally
characterizes the. funerals of the pres
ent day. Following are some of the
comparisons by which DIR. Purdy
sought 10 show what a buYden is laid
upon society by the burial of the dead {:
Zone and One-fOurth times more mon
ey Is expended annually in funerals i'm
the United States than the government
expends for public school purposes.
Funerals cost two and one-half times
more money annually than would buy
the grounds and buildings of all the
universities and colleges in America.
The amount of money expended on
funerals in the United States, if saved
for a fraction over four years, would
equal ths total sum disbursed by our
government for pensions during the
last twenty years. Funerals cost this
country in 1880 enough money to pay
the liabilities of all the commercial
failures in the United States during
the same year, and give each bankrupt
q capital of $500 width which to re-
sumo business. Funerals cost annually
more money than the value of the
combined gold and silver yield of the
United States in the year 1880. The
population Of the Christian world, in
round numbers, is about 400,000,000
people, a little less than one-third of
the population of the entire earth. AT
the average cost of burying the dead
in the United States, the Christian
world would expend annually for flu
nerals $500, 000,0 900, at safe estimate
Let this annual expenditure of money
be saved, with its accrued interest at
per cent, for triAe of twenty years
and it would pay off the combined
national debt of the world" These
figures do not include the enormous
sum invested in burial grounds and
Expended in tombs and monuments mol

perty in the vicinity OF cemeteries.

Timely Law Sermon.

New York Herald,
Some time ago young woman who
had been abandoned by the man who
should have been her husband found
herself homeless, friendless and about
to become a mother, and the fact that
she was in the City of Brotherly Love
did not lessen her troubles in the least.
After wandering about for days rebuff
ed by those who were fully able to
help her, she got nights lodging and
few cents from a girl as friendless
and almost as poor as herself. The
next day another woman who in one
important essential of character was
no better than she should be, displayed
for the girl that human interest that
more reputable people had failed to
show. She took her wretched compan-
ion to one institution after another, all
of them protesting to exist to befriend
the friendless and help the helpless,
but in every case the application was
unsuccessful. AS poor as the being
she was befriending the woman of the
town plodded and starved with her
wretched charge, but all to no avail,
Finally the stranger pawned 2 ring for
twenty-five cents, hired room and on
bare floor her child was bOrn-dead,
as she claims. The commonwealth
sought to prove that the child was
killed ly its mother, but all the evil
dence given on the stand convicted the
community instead of the mother. For
tunately, the judge had a heart as well
hooA onI IN, IioohorOinn tho rlY-ic
oner he arranged mock philanthropy
in terms that should compel all Phila-
delphia to hide in sack-cloth and ashes,
and should also show to many another
community the hypocrisy of claiming
to help the needy while those most in
need are allowed TO starve and die.
Placing i'm full view of the audience
the two women who had done what
they could for the wanderer-the poor
working woman and the woman of the
street.-the put the shame on the Chris
tians and the rich men and women
who allowed the prisoner to go starv-
ing and alone to an experience that
even to women with happy homes and
numberless friends is like going down
into the gates of death. No wonder
every one in the court. uncOn-
sciously stood up with barred head as
the judge arranged the community
for its inhumanity. Would that
preachers everywhere would make the
incident On opportunity to lay bare the
hearts of their hearers, that there may
be beginning of the end of that form
of beneyOlence that denies helm IN
those who are most in need of it.

The Great Agent of Progress.
Arizona Star.

Arizona Star.
The mining fever is not abated in
the least. While Arizona still keeps
the lead in big finds and rapidly in
creasing bullion output, New Mexico
is stepping well to the front; the min
ing sales which are daily recorded in
our sister territory shows with what
wonderful rapidity she is advancing
forward. This is probably owing more
TO the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
railroad than any other influence.
That company is the greatest advertis-
er of the country through which it
passes Of any corporation in the United
States. 1t spares no expense in bring
ing the resources to the notice Of CAPT
tai and the hardy emigrant. Since it
has commenced bodybuilding in
Sonora, that country has been bound
ing forward so that to-day hundreds of
Americans are rushing into the new
field Of venture. The travel to Sonora
from this point alone is veIy marked
and is daily increasing. The mines
and other sources of investment are
being eagerly sought after by Ameri-
can capital, and as soon as the road
from Guaymas is completed to this
point, there will be an industrious
American population settled along its
entire line which win change the
whole face of the country and be a
marvel as a wealth-producer. Eastern
cities are over-crowded; they are seek
ing an outlet. This will be supplied
by the railroads, and Mexico is the new
field for capital and venture. The
railroads are doing the work.

a hot and Stormy Month Predicted

s'oddarfs Review.
With July L commence a revision of
my weather forecasts for the last six
months Of the year 1881. To hold to
a prediction made for twelve months
m advance would at the present stage
OK weather representation only tend
to make the whole attempt ridiculous.
The test these predictions undergo for
the first six months is alone a severe
one, although it is my firm conviction
that this space Of time can be covered,
and that with considerable accuracy,
by an intelligent observance of the
leading principles connected with the
meteoIology Of our country.
believe that the present summer is
one In triad of similar summers,
probably the middle one 1t is likely
TO resemble in its chief features that of
1850 and TO differ in some of its minor
details.
The approaching month of July will
enter cool and wet and give a great
deal of rain generally over large por-
ton Of the United States and Canada,
while in Great Britain the weather
will in all probability be likewise
stormy and wet. The storms of wind,
thunder and lightning are likely to
prove severe and frequent. The heavi-
est rain for New York and vicinity
would locate shortly after the 10th,
probably the 2lst or 22d. Between
the 18th and Goth days an excessively
hot term is probable throughout both
Canada and the United States, with
additional severe storms in western
sections.
Within a few days of the close OF
July. likely in the neighborhood of the
9th and 18th days, a cool to cold wave
may occur, carrying frosts in Canada
and cold weather generally with storms
of wind, hail and rain over the United
States. Where storms have been Sc
verely felt in Western and Southwest
ern states during June there again will
tile severest storms of July be ex-
perienced; Notwithstanding, however,
these frequent and severe storms dur.
ing July, frequent alterations of fine
hot weather will probably counteracl
to great extent the damage done tC
grain and other crops in general in the
West.
The entry of July, as above sketched
is likely to be cool and showery in both
Canada and the United States, and
stormy weather with a return of sui
triness, is probably in proximity tC
the 4th in most sections.

Illustrating How the Gar was Blown

Three Russians recently made their
appearance in various localities in Luz
zerne county, Pennsylvania. They say
they are just from Moscow. They en-
tered n saloon kept by Russian named
Maj Mojeski, in Hazelton, where they
remained some time. While there
they wanted to show the proprietor of
the place how the car was blown up.
I'm order 10 illustrate this they brought
forth n couple of black valises and took
from them three glass balls filed with
dynamite. One of these they threw
into the stove, and Mrs. Mojeski order
ell them to take il out. Not being sat
isiied they hauled forth another and
threw IL at wheelbarrow. The ball
exploded, the wheelbarrow was blown
10 pieces, and then they were convinced
that the illustration of the assasina-
ton of the car was perfect. Maj. Mo-
jeski had the three new arrivals arrest.

were brought before a justice of the
peace for hearing, who set them al
liberty after they had paid Mr.. Mojeski
$3.50 for his wheelbarrow and costs
amounting 10 $3.50. The nihilists left

Applications of Electricity.

The electric railroad which Siemens
has constructed in Berlin between the
suburb of Lichtenfeld and the Cadetten-
haus is now regularly opened for pas
sengers, and is giving great satisfaction.
The rails are of the ordinary railway
pattern, but the gauge is only three
feet three inches. A single car is pro-
PEELED by the current at an average
speed of nine miles an hour though
this rate can be doubled if necessary.
A similar line has been erected at the
crystal palace, Sydenham, England, as
an attraction for visitors, but it is prob
able that electric roads will be practi-
cally introduced into that country be
fore many years are past. VelOcipedes
are now so common that it is not sur
prising to find that electricity has been
applied to their propulsion. M. Trouve,
