Aestheticism Declining.

Aestheticism has run its race in Eng
land. A London letter in The liverpool
Mercury thus records its downfall:
Every body is remarking. and few peo-
pie fail to he astonished at the sudden
disappearance Of the aesthetics from good
society. The movement seems to have
worn itself out completely, 50 far as
dress Is concerned. The erstwhile fash
ionable colors, the whilom remarkable
shapes, the strange and affected alti-
now 70 wear sage green. It is no longer
elegant to be limp; and those peculiar
garments, designed. like the robe Of
Vivian, rather to express the figure than
conceal, have been rendered obsolete
by the hideous and graceless crinolette.

airy to be either Japanese or early Eng

A Japanese Legend.

There is romantic love story told of
monk named An-Chin, who lived in
the neighborhood of Osaka, and was
celebrated as leech as we'll as noted
for his piety. 1t happened that the
wife of the principal man of one of the
many villages near Osaka fell sick and
An-Chin was asked to visit her as priest
and physician. The life of the wife was
saved, though it was long time before
she regained her health. The monk
made constant visits to the house until
her restoration to health was complete,
when he announced his intention of
leaving that part of the country and TAX
ing up his abode in distant monastery.
To his dismay, as holy man and q
priest, he was told by the recovered wo-
man that where he went she would 20
too, as she was so much in love with
him she could not live except in bis
presence. He reasoned with her upon
the wickedness of such "a procedure,
urging her duty as q wife and his posi-
ton as priest, to all Of which she
would not listen. An-Chin departed
secretly, and thought to hide himselffor
. while there in the Do-jo-ii Temple,
devoted to the worship Of the thousand
handed Kwannon. When he neared the
temple he discovered that large bell
belonging to the monastery was lying
on the ground, having been taken from
the belfry then undergoing repairs. He
thought it would be good place to hide
In, SO he asked the brethren at the mon
astery to place the bell over him, which
they did.
The infatuated woman, as soon as his
fight become known to her, set out to
overtake him and pursued him with
rapidity. When she came to the River
Hidaka-gawa she found it had become
raging torrent, that no boatman would
attempt to cross. Her jealous rage was
SO strong that she wished she might be
changed into dragon, that she might
swim the swollen river. She became
dragon, and passed under the raging
flood. When she came to the temple Of
Do-jo-jii she searched every where with
out finding thel monk and thought it
might be possiblelthat he had taken ref
uge under the bell. As it was 50 heavy
she could not overturn it she coiled her
self about it and dashed it so furiously with
her tail that it became red hot and when
the monks from the monastery came to
bring the prisoner food the next day,
they found nothing but mass of char
red bones to tell that their brother had
ever been there. This story has been
dramatized, and is told in song and
prose-. There are q number of renditions
Of the incidents, and the locality and
names are often changed. The popular
and more widely accepted version is
known as the story of An-chin- Kiyo-
Hime, Kiyo-Hime being the name Of the
love-strioken woman. There is no tenn
pie or shrine throughout the length or
breadth Of Japan that has not attached

without need. In the Treasury es.
pecially, Secretary Fclger, has es.
tablished a side show civil service
reform OF his own, and made regu.
lations to govern to official conduct
of the employees. The bureau
chiefs are now required to keep a
roll showing the time Of arrival and
departure Teach employee. These
rolls are forwarded to the disburs-
ing officer who deducts from the
salary the time lost over the regular
allowance of two and one half days
per month. Some other rules are
considered onerous and severe, but
they were no doubt promulgated
with an honest endeavor TO reform
that Department. The other De-
partments generally have allowed
the employees to do just as they
pleased, but it is thought they will
now turn over new leaf and ke ep

Ventilatine Corn Cribs,

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial relates his experience in
ventilating corn cribs in the following {:
We have cribbed great quantities Of
corn before many of our neighbors
would begin husking, and yet we have
no moldy corn. We make ventilators
to reach from the floor to the roof. Our
floors are eighteen inches from the
ground, 40 as to secure perfect ventila-
ton underneath. We set ventilatOrs
where the corn falls from the scoop as
it is thrown in at the windows, since at
that point in the crib the corn packs
closely and the shattered corn and silks
and husks and pieces of leaves and tas-
sells that more or less will be found in
every load will accumulate, be one ever so
careful. and prevent free circulation of
air through the mass. Where the far
mer helps to husk his own corn, and is
untiring and persistent, he can keep
out husks, and silk, and trash; but when
several teams are at work, and each
gang of men is expected to crib given
amount for days work, we may say
it is impossible to keep out the trash,
which keeps corn from drying out free
ly, as well as brings in with it much
moisture.
In such cases, then, we must have
more ventilators, that is, they must be
placed nearer together. In our crib, that
10 six feet wide, and long enough to
hold 5000 bushels, we have windows
every twelve feet for throwing corn.
Three feet back from, and directly in
front of them, we place the ventilators.
They are not in the way in scooping in
the corn, and there the pile of corn is
always the highest and most packed,
and from that point each way the corn
rolls down and is clean and loosely
packed farthest from the ventilators.
The heating that always starts up in .
crib causes an upward draft through the
ventilators which carries off moisture
and reduces temperature to the saving
point.
How do you make the ventilators?
The distance from floor to roof is four
teen feet. We rip out four strips three.
inches wide and fourteen feet long. We
then make four frames of inch boards
four inches square. To these four frames
we nail the four long strips, through
which the corn will not pass. We bore
holes in the floor where the ventilator is
to sit, and put up the ventilator, fast
ening to the floor and roof so it will
keep its place.
The cost is trifing, but the device is
satisfactory in its results. We have seen
men throw rails in cribs of wet corn to
let the air in. If the rails are set in
perpendicular they do some good, as the
heated air passes upward beside them,
bnt if placed in horizontally they areAof
little value, as they do not work with
the ascending gases struggling to pass
upward.
There is no excuse for great crib of
moldy corn. BY such a device one can
begin to crib corn week earlier than
without it. That weeks gain, too, on
some Of the bottom lands when over
dows come may save the crop.
These ventilators cost little. occupy
little space in the crib, and yet let of
vast quantities of heat and moisture
from the pile Of new corn.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, January 9Th, 1883.

Dakota is doomed to remain a
territory for some time to come, and
the usually happy Republican fami.
" in the Senate is somewhat split
over this matter. Although the
disagreement does not involve more
than one senator, yet this is sutfi
cient in the Senate to compel
postponement of the legislation.
MIR Hale, Of Maine, is the re-
calcitrant brother, and in reply to
his Republican colleagues says that
he will not vote to grant a state
government to territory a portion
Of which has stained itself with
rank Reputation. Mr.. ingalls,, Of
Kansas, characterized the saemarks
of Mr. Hale as partisan and mali
gnant. This provoked heated dis
cussion between the two gentlemen
and the end was that Mr.. Hale be.
c. me deeper set in opposition to
the bill. Now this would seem to
be no matter of present Importance
yet those three electoral votes
which would be cast by Dakota
might prove to be in 1884 the
salvation Of the Republican party.
The Republicans understand this,
and have been trying to win over
Mr. Hale, but with no success.
Dakota will be without State gov.
eminent until the Republicans are
numerically strong enough to pass
the bill without Mr.. Hale vote:
Several days have elapsed since
the passage Of the civil service re.
form bill. It has gone further than
the tariff Commission ii its com.
mendations, and proposes consider
able reductions ON bituminous coal,
pig iron. sheet, boiler and plate
iron, steel rails and tin plate. Of
course these recommendations met
with opposition from those whose
interests will be affected, but it
would be impossible to frame ia.
riff bill which would not endanger
opposition, and the best way to deal
with this problem would be to re.
d4ee the tariff according to estab-
.lished rules Of justice and equality
and let the opposing forces have
the quarrel out amongst themselves.
The Senate Finance Committee
seems to have endeavored to follow
these rules.
