Queen Marguerite.

Queen Marguerite, of Italy, seems
to be greatly beloved by the Neapoli-
tans. They call her "the Marguerite
of Marguerites." Recently, when she
entered Naples, every window and
doorway was adorned with her favor
ite hower-indeed, the whole city
looked like a great bouquet of daisies.
From Naples she went by water to
one of the Mediterranean ports.
On going on board the ship she found
that every one, from the Admiral com
manding down to the common sailors,
wore a boutonniere of marguerites,
delicate attention which greatly
pleased the Queen. Her son, the
heir apparent of Italy, bears as one
ofhis titles that O" Prince of Naples"
When he was born that city presented
the Queen with an exquisite cradle
made of pale pink coral filled with
the snowy petals Of her own delicate
flower. Queen Marguerite has lost
much of the bright blonde beauty
which once rivaled the charms of
the Empress Eugene. She has
grown little stout, and her sad ex-
preston and frequently noticed red
ness of the eyelids gives emphasis to
the rumor that she often weeps. All the
royal beauties of Europe have had
trouble. Eugene, the Princess of
Wales, and her pale, frightened sis
ter, the white dove" of the Russians,
all know what sorrow is, and Queen
Isabella, one of the ugliest women in
Europe, has not had a very happy
life. 1t is said that she left Madrid
in tears last month, when State rea-
sons forbade Alphonso to ask her to
extend the visit of ceremony she is
allowed to make to her native land
once q year.

A New Mode Of Obtaining Warmth.

A new form of stove Of most novel
construction has been invented by
Herr Nieske, of Dresden. For some
time past there have been in use in
Paris and also on the North
Western Railway in England, foot
warmers charged with chemical salt
which has the property of retaining
heat for far longer period than or
dinary water. This salt is known as
acetate of soda, and NJ Ancelin was
the first to apply it to the purpose
named. Herr Nieske has found that
another salt of soda-the hyposul-
phite-when mixed in certain pro-
portions with the acetate gives far
better results, and the stove contrived
by him is charged with copper vessels
filled with this compound. These
receptacles when filed with the mix
ture are heated in boiling water until
the crystals melt this is readily ascer-
tained by shaking the vessels), after
which they will retain their heat for
ten or twelve hours. 1t remains to
be seen by actual experience whether
the heat given out by such means is
sufficient for ordinary household uses,
but it is certain that the system can
find many useful applications in sit
uations where a small amount of
warmth only is required, and where
fire is inadmissible. .-Sydney NelcS.

The last thieving swindle exposed
by the press is quite ingenious, as
usual. Two of these sharks watch
for the advertisements of stray horses
or COWS, and one of the fellows goes
to the advertiser and asks to see the
animal His request being granted,
the scoundrel informs the advertiser
that this is not the animal for which
he is looking. The fellow goes back
to his "pal," gives him a description
of the animal, and the "pal" then
goes to the advertiser, describes the
horse or COW accurately, and gets
possession. Then the swindler tells
the advertiser that he lives long
way off, and doesn't want to be
troubled taking the animal home,
and offers to sell it for about half
what it's worth. The advertiser gen
orally makes the purchase; and nine
cases out Of ten has to give the ami
NAL into the possession of the right
full owner, losing the money he paid
to the imposter.

Jerusalem and its Inhabitants.

According to letter from Jerusa-
lem, printed recently in the London
Record, there are many persons in
the city who hold extreme or fan
ciful views on religious topics.
Eighteen Americans, it is said, ar
rived there recently to await the
second coming of the Lord. They
are respectable, educated and appar-
emily wealthy persons, and are to be
followed by others. For many years
a half-crazy Englishman, dressed in
clothes, and carrying wooden
cross on his shoulders, was wont to
address crowds of people in the mar
ket-places of the city. He recently
died of fever. A German woman,
who regarded herself as ''the bride Of
Christ" and who had prepared costly
dresses in which to receive her Lord,
went away to the Jordan, recently,
and never returned. She died, and
was buried by the natives. A young
man is now in Jerusalem to whom it
has been revealed that the Ark of the
Covenant is buried in what is known
as the Potter's Field. He is search
ing for it assiduously. Another, who
is described as " q rather gentleman
like young Jew," has arrived at Jeru-
salem, and claims to be the Messiah,
These instances are sad indeed; and
it is pleasant to turn to what is com.
paratively brighter side of religious
life at Jerusalem. Of the Jews, the
correspondent writes as follows:
Many Jews have arrived here from
Bulgaria and Russia, and many more
are expected-it is said about eight
hundred-an important and embar-
RAISING addition to our already over
crowded Jewish quarter. On the
whole, the Jews have good time in
Jerusalem, and were it not for their
poverty, would be perfectly happy.
They live according to their own
laws, have their own house of judg-
ment,' marry and divorce in their own
fashion, and the Chief Rabbi has even
the right of requesting the civil au-
thorities to arrest and imprison any
of his people"

The Gain of Sunday Rest.

OF course 1 do not mean that q
man will not produce more in a week
by working seven days than by work
ing six days. But / very much doubt
whether, at the end of the year, he
will generally produce more by work
ing seven days in a week than by
working six days in a week. The
natural difference between Campania
and Spitzbergen is trihing when com
pared with the difference between a
country inhabited by men full OF
bodily and mental vigor and coun-
try inhabited by men sunk in bodily
and mental decrepitude. Therefore
it is that we are not poorer, but richer,
because we have through many ages
rested from our labors one day in
seven. The day is not lost. While
industry is suspended, while the plow
lies in the furrow, while the exchange
is silent, while no smoke ascends from
the factory, process is going on
quite as important to the wealth of
the nation as is the work which is
performed on more busy days. Man
the machine Of machines-the ma
chine compared with which all the
contrivances Of the Watts and Ark
wrights are worthless-is repairing
and winding up, so that he returns to
his labors on Monday with clearer in,
tellect and livelier spirits, with re-
newed corporal vigor.-Lord Macau-
lag.

A Singular Scheme.

1t has been said that "there is
nothing new under the sum-" but a
chalte was applied for yesterday for
an institution which has in it some
elements of originality. Its name is
the natal League of America" and
its incorporators are tho following
we'll known citizens: Baxter Smith,
DR., j. d. Plunket, A. g, Overall,
VIM. Il. Eastman and John Treanor
Its objects are ito promote morality,
provide funds for aiding in caring
for all children born in lawful we'd
lock, and to give practical encourage
ment in the fultillment of the divine
injunction to multiply and replenish
the earth ,"
1t seems likely that the above ends
will be attained, as a considerable
sum is to be paid to members for
each offspring which they may beget,
This will be rather tantalizing, how
ever, to those married people who
are already the parents of many
children, who, instead of adding to
their funds, have been source OF
continual expense. This new enter
prise is to be conducted very much
upon the same plan as the nuptial
unions which have become SO popular
in the last year. With o premium
upon married life and q premium up
on large families, the prospects are
that old bachelors and old maids will
be few and children many.-Fash-

Remedies and Antidotes.

A strong solution of bicarbonate of
soda baking soda) taken frequently
is a reliable remedy for diarrheal
troubles, particularly those arising
from acidity of the stomach.
A teaspoonful OF ground mustard
in o cup of warm water is a prompt
and reliable emetic, and should be
resorted to in cases of poisoning or
cramps in the stomach from over. eat
ing
Powdered rosin is the best to stop
bleeding from cuts. After the wound
is sprinkled on, wrap the wound with
soft cotton cloth. As soon as the
wound begins to feel feverish, keep
the cloth wet with cold water.
For burns, sweet oil and cotton are
the standard remedies. If they are
not at hand, sprinkle the burned
parts with flour, and wrap loosely
with soft cloth. Don't remove the
dressing until the inflammation sub
sides, as it will break the new skin
that is forming.
A standing antidote for poisoning
by dew, poison oak, ivy, etc, is to
take a handful of quicklime, dissolve
in water, let it stand half an hour,
then paint the poisoned parts with it.
Three or four applications will never
fail to cure the most aggravated cases,
Avoid purgatives and strong ply
sizes, as they not only do no good, but
are positively hurtful Pills may re-
lieve for a time, but they seldom
cure. Stomach bitters are a snare
and only create a desire for stimu-
lants.
Indigestion is the prolific cause of
colics, diarrh9a, headaches, constipa-
ton and many diseases of the blad-
der. Food that is not digested fer
ments and becomes powerfully acid,
causing irritation and inflammation
wherever it touches. Many fevers
are caused by it. Pepsin is the best
remedy, if taken Immediately after
eating. If pepsin is not taken, the
acidity should be controlled by bi-
carbonate of soda or potash.

In New Hampshire is a well-known
eccentric individual, self constituted
curer of all ills-a sort of panacea,
body and soul, head, heart and con-

eccentricities, has a fund of actual

Not long ago the doctor was called

ventured, in cross examining him, tc
show him up bit.
"What is your business ?" pom
pously inquired the counsel
MY business is to do what little
good l can do to my fellow men, "
modestly replied the doctor.
But that doesn't answer my

counsel. "How do you spend youl

-" Why, squire, it takes about all my
time to do what l said," remarked
the doctor.

Governor Hoyt, of Wyoming, in
his message, makes a vigorous argu
ment for woman suffrage, which will
be of interest to the opponents Of the
proposition as well as those who
favor it, as showing the result of the
experiment in his territory. He says:
elsewhere, objectors persist in call
ing this honorable statute of ours an
experiment" We know that it is
not-that under it we have better
laws, better officers, better morals,
and a higher social condition in
general, than could otherwise exist
that not one of the predicted evils,
such as loss of native delicacy and
disturbance of home relations, has
followed in its train-that the great
body Of our women, and the best of
them have accepted the elective fran
chise as a precious boon, and exercise
it as a patriotic duty--in a word,
that, after twelve years of happy ex-
perience, woman suffrage is so thor
oughly rooted and established in the
minds and hearts of this people that,
among them all, no voice is ever up
lifted in protest against it or in ques-
ton of it"
