AdulteratiOn.

There seem to be very good reasons
why the pessimists should call a halt
upon the genius of invention until some
force can be made available to regulate
his movements. It is very generally
acknowledged that the world is growing
better as it grows older, and no doubt 1t
is, but the progress of invention and dis
coyery, although in the main beneficial
to mankind, Is bringing forth things that
must of necessity exert an injurious in
huence. Charles Reade, IN one of his
novels, speaks of some old solid silver
plate, made in the ancient days when
things were made honestly. "Not," he
says, "because the workmen were more
honest than they are to-day, but because
they didn't know how to cheat. As the
world grows older, people learn more and
more how TO cheat, and the people who
don't want to be cheated have to study
closer and closer to learn how to circum-
vent it. 1t is a good deal like the
inventions of armorers. Every few years
a gun is produced, the proiectile from
which will pierce any known obstruction,
and then other armOrers exert themselves
to get up an armor that 1t cannot pierce.
And so 1t goes on, and the wonder IS
where it is all to end. 1t is so with in
vention and discovery in other directions.
Chemists are finding out more and more
how to adulterate food and its ingredients
until it is almost dangerous to eat any
thing but primary substances. Ever and
anon accounts appear in the papers of
family poisoned by eating or drinking
this, that or the other, until one hardly
knows what indulgence of appetite may
be considered safe There Is n standing
appeal to legislation to correct these
evils, but legislation, although it may
have mitigated the danger, has not, as
yet, entirely removed it. 1t would seem
to be an easy matter to treat this subject
in a way to assure the people that what
they eat and drink need not prove in
furious on account of impurity or
adulteration. If there is an offence in
the calendar calling for the most condign
punishment, it is that of adulteration
Let us have laws, and an enforcement of
them, that will make it safe to eat and
drink what purports to be healthful and
nutritious. .-BOston Budget.

MonotonY Of City Life.

The monotOny of life in the central
streets of any great modern city, where
every emotion intended to be derived 10y
men from the sight of nature, or the
sense of art, is forbidden forever. leaves
the craving Of the heart for a sincere,
yet thankful, interest, to be fed from
one source only. Under natural condi-
tions the degree Of mental excitement
necessary to bodily health is provided by
the course Of the seasons, and the vari-
ous skill and fortune of agriculture.
In the country every morning of the
year brings with ii a new aspect OF
springing or fading nature a new duty
TO be fulfilled upon earth, and new
promise or warning in heaven. No day
is without its innocent hope, its special
prudence, its kindly gift, and its sublime
danger; and IN every process OF wise
husbandry, and every effort OF contend
ing or remedial courage, the wholesome
passions, pride, and bodily power of the
laborer are excited and exerted in happi-
est unison. The companlonshlp OF do
mestic, the care of seTyiceable, animals,
soften and enlarge his life, with lowly
charities, and discipline him in familiar
wisdoms and uuboastful fOrtltudes; while
the divine laws of seed-tIme which can
not be recalled, harvest WnlCH cannot De
fastened, and winter in which no man
can work, compel the impatiencies and
coveting of his heart into labor too sub
missive to be anxious, and rest too sweet
to be wauton.
What thought can enough comprehend
the contrast between such life, and that
in streets where summer and winter are
only alterations of heat and cold
where snow never fell white, nor sun
shine clear where the ground is only
pavement, and the sky no more than the
glass roof of an arcade where the ut
most power of a storm IS to choke the
cutters, and the finest magic of spring
to change mud into dust where-chief
and most fatal difference in state-there
is no interest of occupation for any Of
the inhabitants but the routine of
counter or desk within doors, and the
effort to pass each other without COLI
sion outside; so that from morning to
evening the only possible variation Of
the monotony of the hours, and tighten
ing of the penalty of existence, must be
some kind of mischief, limited, unless
by more than ordinary godsend of fatal
ity, to the fall of a horse, or the sitting
of a pocket t-RWSEiu

Finger Nails.

Our finger nails grow out about three
times a year; they should be trimmed
with scissors once n week, not so close as
to leave no room for the dirt to gather,
for then you do not protect the ends OF
the fingers, as was designed by nature
besides. If trimmed too close at the
corners, there Is danger of their growing
into the flesh, causing Inconvenience,
and sometimes great pain. The collec-
tions under the ends of the nails should
not be removed by anything harder than
a brush or n soft piece Of wool nor
should the nails be scraped with pen
knife CT other metallic substance, as It
destroys the delicacy of their structure
and Will at length give them an unnatural
thickness. We are not fayorably i'm
pressed as to the cleanliness of a person
who keeps his nails trimmed to the quick,
as it is often done to prevent dirt gath
erinr there whereas, if margin were
allowed. it would be an index to the
cleanliness of the hands, from which the
collections under the finger nails are
made. Leave a margin, then, and the
moment you observe that these cOllec-
tions need removal, you may know that
the hands need washing, whom they and
thenails are both cleaned together. Most
persons are familiar with those trouble
some bits of skin which loosen at the
root of the finger nails; 1t Is caused by
the skin adhering to the nail, which,
growing outward, drags the skin along
with it, stretching it until one end gives
way. To prevent this, the skin should
be loosened from the nail once a week,
not with a knife or scissors, but with
something blunt such as the end of an
ivory paper cutter this is best done
after soaking the fingers in warm water,
then pushing the skin back gently and
slowly the white specks on the nails are
made by scraping the nails with knife
at point where it energies from the
skin. Biting off the finger nails is 81
uncleanly practice, for thus the unsightly
collections at the ends are kept eaten
clean Children may be broken of such
a filthy habit by causing them to dip the
ends of their fingers several times day
in NORWOOD bitters, without letting
them know the object, if this is not suf-
fcient, cause them wear caps on each
finger until the practice is discontinued.

Debris Of Old Buildings.

New York Industrial World-l
The varied materials collected from
old buildings in course of demolition
form enormous accumulations In some
of the upper wards IN New York City,
where one can purchase anything IN the
building line from piece OF lead pipe
to a magnificent French plate glass.
Timber of all sort, from giant cross
beams to little joist 1 osts, can be had
III these yards, where there are also win
dow sashes, window weights, doors,
shutters, iron and wooden staIrcases,
window frames, doorposts, flooring lath-
ing. tiling, wainscoting, bricks, brown
stone fronts. granite steps, granite col
umns. iron girders and iron fronts, iron
stair-frames, and. in fact, anything and
everything that has ever been used IN
a house. Door knobs, bell handles,
iron ratings and balconies, not to men,
ton the cornices, are there III profuslon
and confusion. The profits OF this busl-
ness are said to be great, and while 1t
frequently happens that large figures
are paid for some houses, the profits are
correspondingly great. Recently some
houses on Twenty-third street We're
taken down, and as they were finished
in hard wood. ornamented with mirrors
aad great spacious fire-places, the pr1ce
demanded was very large, but the old
brass work and glass alone paid the pur-
chaser for what he had invested, and
the wood. stone and brick of the house
was all clear profit. The two firms who
do the largest traffic of the kind carry
to their yards about fifty truck-loads of
material day. Their there are dozens
of others in the trade who do much
more modest business.

4 Valuable Hint.

Here is a good item for American heir
essses and beauties who would like to
marry European rank. Prince Ludwig
Wittgensteiu, a member of the
Highest nobility IN Germany, had mar
red the daughter of n Berlin banker
named I4ilionthal, commoner. Then
he died. and the widow continued to call
herself Princess Sayn- Wittgensteln.
Prince Frederick, of the same name,
brought a suit against her, demanding
.hat she give up the princely title, as
;,sll as the use Of the armorial symbols.
=. Su,, rene Court of the German
'.b1 <-S I-eia,1.is found against the de
o'sses mt, and laid down the following
les:

birth and the daughter of a commoner

''mesalliance, consequently the woman
realms her rank as conmoner.
?. A civil suit can be brought against
her in case she should use the title or
csest Of noble family.
3. ANY member of the noble family

Home Life for the Blind.

In an address before the College for
the Blind, at Upper Norwood, Henry
Fawcett, the blind Postmaster General
of England, said that, speaking of his
own experience, the greatest service that
could be rendered to the blind was to
enable them to live as far as possible the
same life as if they had not lost their
sight. They should not be imprisoned
In institutions or separated from their
friends. Few who had not experienced
it could imagine the indescribable Joy to
them of home life. Some persons hesi-
tated to speak to the blind about out
ward objects. There could be no great
er error. The pleasantest and happiest
hours of his life were those when he was
with his friends, who talked about every
thing they saw just as if he was not
present who in room talked about
the pictures, when walking described
the scenery they were passing through,
and who described the people they met.
When with the blind, people should
talk with them about and describe every
thing they saw. The speaker concluded
by remarking that there was plenty of
good will to assist the blind, but what
was required was better organization.

Sbeen.Raising in Montana.

Judge Davenport, of Montana Terri
tory. SAYS an exchange, purchased 1,000
ewes which cost him about 50, 900. He
put these in charge of young man who
was to take them on to a range, take all
the care of them, pay all the expenses of
the band and to receive as his share one
half of the wool produced and one-half
the increase of the flock. At the end of
four wears a settlement was to be made
and Judge Davenport was to receive back
| 0OO of the best ewes which the band
contained. When the settlement was
made Judge Davenport had received for
his share of the proceeds of the wool
sc. 500. and for his share of the increase
$1,000 The profits on the investment
of S3. 900 for four years were $l4, 500, or
100 2-3 per cent. per annum.

The King of Beasts.

A recent traveller in Central Africa
says: "Lions are one of the dangers
between Zanzibar and the great lakes.
They sometimes hunt game IN packs OF
six to eight. Some animals show fight
against them successfully. Lions never
venture to attack the adult elephant,
and even avoid the buffalo, unless they
are more than two to one. In general
they do not attack caravans, and never IN
daytime. At most hungry hon may
spring upon and carry off straggler
while passing through the brakes and
jungles. But it is otherwise at night.
When lions scent the caravan from afar,
particularly If it contains goats or beasts
Of burden they approach and announce
their vicinity by terrific roars. Never
theless, in a well-inclosed camp there Is
no danger; the lions never attempt to
clear the obstacles, and marksmen from
behind the palisades can pick them off
with almost unfailing aim. There is
danger only when the camp is not COM
pletely inclosed, or when those inside go
ont to attack them"

-5S@fhe Omnibus.

The lag coach called an omnibus,
with theentrance behind and the seats
along the side, facing each other, origi.
mated in Paris in 1927, and In 1881 If
began ts come into use In London. In
large cites it is found the most econom.
ical form of carriage, except those run
ming onrails, for conveying the largest
number of passengers through the
streets. In Paris the public omnibuses
are numerous and commodious, though
their progress is slow as compared with
those of London. One company hrs a
municipal monopoly and owns all the
lines. The omnibuses on the sey' mi
lines are of different colors, and the
lines ara lettered from A to q and from
A B toAZ z. In 1875 there were IN Lon
don about 1,500 omnibuses, employing
nearly 5000 persons. The number was
formerly much larger in proportion, for,
In 1874, one company employed i, 400
omnibuses. But large part of the city
and suburban travel is now carried on
tramways and underground railways.
In New York city one was made IN 1880
and run upon Broadway. In 1858 the
number of these coaches employed upon
various lines was 429. This was con-
siderable reduction from the number OF
former years, owing to the construction
of horse railroads, and by 1873 the num-
Der was reduced to about 200.

Importance Of the question requires. -
The young man who thinks he WIZ
be a lawyer, a doctor, or minister, ana
hopes to attain success, must declass
on his choice of any profession by some
thing beside his own ambition and cci-
ceit IL the matter as 10 ms htness ann nm
ability for the same. The desire 10 IA
a high and influential position Is laud'
able only when il is not disgT2gqEss'll-
One OF the strongest incentives thaF
influences many TO rush into the pro-
fessions without that careful deiibera-
tion which the subject demands, Is the
idea that those avocatiOns Will relied
more honor and credit upon them than
a trade, but instead OF such honoung
the profession, the reverse Is glaringly
apparent, that large proportion OF them
are sadly ont of place.
1t does not require much sagacIty TO
see that one had better be a good lun-
herman than third-rate lawyer, a first
class mechanic than quack doctor.
There are those who have spent a
great deal of time and money in study
ing Latin and Greek, and many other
things, which never did them any good,
practically speaking, and have learned
too late that their time might have been
employed 10 far better advantage.
Many young men, after years spent in
misdirected effort, have had to resort to
anything that offered. OF this there are
instances too numerous to mention.
The world Is full of so-called educated
men who don't know anything Of any
importance, considering the kind of
knOwlege which the needs OF the country
demand There is a need Of skilled me-
chanics, capable, active men, instead of
doctors, lawyers, ministers and clerks.
1t Is q question Of great importance
not only to the young, but to the parents,
this of preparing their children for a
business wherein they can not only earn
their daily bread, but secure to them
selves some of the comforts and cOnven-
fences of life, and an honorable position
IN the world.
When people get out of the prevailing
but foolish notion of thinking that it is
LlOLG LtllN1t ttAAt- 10 lAttft q AiLOAG@otJH
than a good trade, and when the reverse
of this rather is taught to the young, it
cannot fail TO have a Judicious tendency
toward correcting an error which has
been fostered long, and lies close to the
interests of all.
If every man had an occupation that
was chosen because he was better fitted
for it than for any other, he would be in
a condition to enjoy much in life, and
his sphere of usefulness and influence
would be greatly enlarged. Practical
education, with a careful consideration
of ones abilities and deficiencies, with,
an adaptedncss to the wants and nee9T'
OF our io.rr,l, eanuoC Ian make oTtr-e'i. =
