CHICAGO, Nov 27.-The News has special
from Washington as follows; The president
has finally pardoned Sergt. Mason, and he

This was brought about by the liberal use
Of glsh and sentimentality. Army officers
here in commenting on the pardon, say that
the pardoning of Mason simply establishes
the principle that soldier on guard has q
right to constitute himself Judge, jury, and
executioner, and put to death a person in his
charge whenever he thinks fit Only abso-

Domestic Economy.

There is much more room for choice
in the administration of even small in
come than one is apt to believe at first
thought. 1t is not the luxuriousness of
wealth that is enviable, but the broader
and more various outlets and inlets which
it offers for life. Every income may be
studied with reference to these possibili-
ties, and the result will often be surpris-
ing. An hours serious consideration Of
so serious subject as the uses of money.

and pencil and note book in hand, would,
perhaps, suggest to almost every house
mother some portion of her economy in
which she might wisely turn over a new
leaf. If she has not well-kept account
book to refer to that is the first leaf to
turn. Comfort and elegance in dress,
table service, furniture, equipages- s-all
the surroundings Of our i7es-these are
good and desirable when they do not
involve the sacrifice of anything more i'm
portant; but is well to remember that
they are not to be the chief objects Of
life, nor the ends for the attainment of
which homes are ordained. If we do
not desire for our children better things
than these, if we do not assume for them
higher responsibilities, we are promoting
that dangerous tendency toward an ex-
aggerated respect for wealth, and a cor
responding depreciation of character,
which is the growing peril Of our nation
and our time. As American mothers, let
us, while considering the division Of time
and the apportionment of income, not
forget in the maintenance Of health and
comfort in our households, the equally
important claims of intellectual life, re-
hgion, social development, human help
fulness, and the high ideals of a pure
pursuit Of truth and beauty.-The Coati-

Oddities Of Dutch Cities.

Amsterdam and Rotterdam look like
no other cities in the world. They have
hydrocephalus, like Venus-oceans of
water everywhere. Amsterdam is built
on some eighty islands, connected by
some 300 bridges across the muddy
bitches they call canals The buildings
are all of unpainted brick, with their
gable ends to the street, and they are
erected, like those of Venice, on millions
of piles driven into the mud. But this
alluvial deposit is not so firm as the
sandy sediment in the Adriatic lagunes,
and so it happens that almost all of the
houses here and in Rotterdam are out of
plumb. You cross bridge and in
stinctively hesitate to advance, for it
seems as if the buildings ahead were
about to tumble down and crush you.
On both sides Of the street they bend out
ward toward each other, so that their
cornices are two or three feet nearer than
their bases. You gather courage and
proceed: and further on you see other
houses bowling. Here is a tall toppling
chimney, and s'und it in circle are
various houses saluting it. None Of the
buildings seem to fall down-at least l
did not detect any in the act-but they
rise and engage in their bricky salaams
at almost every angle from the perpen-
dicular, and in utter disregard of the
feelings Of wayfarers. Crazy little steam
boats traverse the dirty little canals;
great brick warehouses boldly bend over
and look down into their turbid mirrors;
merchantmen from Java stick their yards
up through the branches Of sycamore
trees upon the banks; here and there
ships climb up the ladder-locks; here
and there windmills churn the air and
pour the water out into the sea. This is
a queer old town. But I should think
the Hollanders would wash their canals.

An Instant Remedy ior POISONING.

If person swallows any poison what
ever, or has fallen into convulsions from
having overloaded his stomach, an in
stantaneous remedy is heaping tea
spoonful Of common salt and as much
ground mustard stirred rapidly in tea
cup Of water, warm or cold, and swal-
lowed instantly. 1t is scarcely down be-
fore it begins to come up, bringing with
it the remaining contents Of the stomach
and lest there be any remnant Of poison,
however, let the white of an egg or .
teacup Of strong coffee be swallowed as
soon as the stomach il quiet; because
these very common articles nullifg largs

Hay.Msklua in France.

Frequently along the road the hay is
being cut and cured-a tremendous yield,
of four tons to the acre on an average, l
think, says an American correspondent
travelling in France. The moving is ap-
parently done by men who stand under
the shade of trees resting their weary
bush-scythes, wiping their ditto brows,
and glancing at our carriage as if they
would like a ride. The snath of this i'm
plement is large and straight, and the
handles look like oxen's horns. The
swath is turned by bareheaded women
with a crotched stick They are all
about the same age-all French women
are-about sixty-five. Near at hand is a
clumsy cart with pair Of cows hitched
to it, the yoke being q straight stick tied
across the base of the horns. A little

chanaes On land and Sea.

That the falling drop will wear away
the stone, is saying which few adult
persons have not been able to verify BY
observation; but it is not SO generally un-
derstood that falling drops of rain will
wear away mountain or wash away
continent. Rain, frost and ice have
ground down the submits Of the loftiest
mountains; and there are few high peaks
now in existence which have not been
much higher, and which are not being
steadily leveled by atmospheric agencies.
In colder climates solid glacier rivers are
also found, which moving imperceptibly,
but with irresistible force, hollow out
valleys and grind down the superincum-
bent rocks. The sea also devours the
land rapidly. Furthermore, innumerable
rivers, streams and springs are perpetual
ly Ioosening the soil, rasping down the
rocks with sand, and bearing off bill
lions of tons Of solid matter to the sea-
bottom, where the whole mass is squeezed
by the terrific hydraulic pressure into
stone, marble or solid strata Of some
kind. The Mississippi alone carries an
nually to the sea s12, 500, 900, 900 pounds
of mud. All the habitable land of the
globe is being continually ground and
wasted away-planed down to the
ocean-leyel; while the sea-bottom is.
being as steadily filed up. The deposit
of foraminiferal shells alone-not includ-
ing other remains-is sufficient, as
Huxley has calculated, to create bed of
limestone in the bottom Of the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans 800 feet thick suppos-i
ing these oceans to have existed for only
100, 900 years.
Were it not for internal forces the time
would come when all existing land would
be leveled with the ocean, and there
after planed down still further by the
action of the waters, SO that the entire
globe would be one shoreless ocean. The
coral islands would form no exception <.
for the coral-builders cannot live above
water, nor could their islands ever have
reached the surface but for subterranean
upheavals. Thus the tendency of the
worlds crust is to become uniformly
smooth and level, and to surround itself
with an envelope Of water But within
the earth enormous forces are constantly
at work to counteract this tendency
forces which manifest themselves In
volcanic action, in seismic action and in
other and even more mysterious actions

Southern Cotton Mills.

According to the Commercial and II
nanciaz Chronicles figures, the amount of
cotton used by Southern mills during the
year ending September was three hun
dred and thirty-one thousand bales. This
shows that the consumption of cotton in
the South has considerably more than
doubled within the past four years, and
that it is more than ninety thousand bales
larger this year than it was last. The
figures furthermore show that in recent
years the consumption has increased at
far greater rate in Southern than in
Northern mills.
These facts are proof that the South is
making rapid strides in the manufacture
of its great staple. The prosperity al
ready attained has given lively impetus
to the construction Of new mills in vari-
GUS quarters and the enlargement Of the
capacity Of the old ones. In doing this
the Southern States are simply develop
ing an industry for which they have pc
culiar natural advantages. They have it
in their power to make the South great
cotton manufacturing center, and it is
matter for national congratulation that
they are moving with encouraging prog
ress in that direction.--.NsD York Herald.
