SATURDAY MORNING. JUNE ..
Mr.. Thomas and the Swedish Mis-
csnv,

S1OA
If other of President Arthur's appoint
ments are like those he has made in and
from Portland he must be credited with ad-
mirable Judgment Those from this Sec
ton command respect and approval. By
placing Mr. Nathan Webb on the bench he
added strength and dignity to the Federal
Judiciary. By appointing Mr.. Stanley Pullen
to the Surveyorship of the port lie en-
gagged for the government the services of an
accomplished gentleman and most able
officer. And, in appointing Mr.. w. w.
Thomas Jr., 10 the Swedish mission he has
evinced admirable judgment.
No man born in this country is better
equipped for the Stockholm mission than
Mr.. Thomas. He is thoroughly familiar
with the language, the literature, the man
ners aud the customs of the people of the
Scandinavian Peninsula. For three years,
from 1868 to 1866 ne was Consul at Gothep-
burg. He speaks and writes the Northern
Tongue with almost the facility of native.
His services as Consul were frequently
commended by the Secretary of State, aud the

prides hersef--of his efficiency and iutell-
gent appreciation of his duties. Returning
to this country he gave proof his proficien-
cy in Scandinavian literature by translating
'.I'he Last Athenian, the most notable
work OF Sweden's most notable author-a
translation for which Mr. Thomas's friend,
F-edericka Bremen, wrote an Introduction to
the American public
Mr.. Thomas's connection with the found

He sailed to Sweden in 1870; gathered coll
ony of fifty Swedes, led them across the At
lantic and into the forests of ARGOS .ook.
The colony has now grown to number over
a thousand souls, and is one of the most
successful settlements ever made in Ameri-
ca. The new minister to Stockholm will
carry with him the admiration of the sturdy
men and woman for whom he has found a
home.
In making this appointment President
Arthur has shown his sympathy with
civil service reform and given another
proof of his sincerity in signing that bill,

pathy toward him that one scarcely cares to
point out his defects, his occasional careless
omissions, and occasional ill-considered ut
terances, and lapses from dignity Of style.
There is no other volume in the English Ian
guage which gives so fair and just compar-
ison of heather religions with Christianity
as that given In these two books. The author
assumes, and endeavors to set visibly forth,
the superiority, in moral and phiosophi-
cal sense. of the religion of the New Tesla
ment above all other religions; but be does
not, in this endeavor, depreciate or under
value the great teachers of the farther East.

This neither is, nor pretends 10 be, criti-
cal work; it takes the ordinary current views
of the great Protestant sects, and its sole
merit consists in its numerous selections of
so many fine passages of prose and poetry,
referring to Biblical themes, each being pre-
ceded by brief account of the Bible pas
sages referred to. AS collection of ex-
tracts it makes an interesting little library
in itself, and deserves a wide circulation
among religious people who have not leisure
nor opportunity for extended studies In that
direction of sacred literature 1t would fur
nish pleasant occupation for leisure half

Mr.. David A. Wells is not in the habit of
appearing before the public in the role of an
alarmist, and therefore a warning from him
as to the state of business is worthy of more
Than passing thought. In public speech
u Detroit the other day, referring to labor
agitations and social disturbances, he said:
500 you think, gentlemen, that these
are mere temporary events that are going
to pass away as the season comes? Gen
tlemen, these things have come to
stay. Mark my words. We are to-day
on the eve of a prolonged depression of bus
mess, a stagnation, and social disturbance,
which, although | do not think it will cul-
inmate in anything like a panic, is going to
be paralleled only by the long depression
which commenced in 1873" This predic-
tIon was endorsed by other members of the
Conference, some of them men engaged in
business themselves and claiming to speak
from unpleasant experience.

Something About the Artist Who Has Done
So Much for the Home.

Wide Awake.
in London, big and smoky, with its dun
colored fog-wreaths, lives and works Kate
Ggeenawav the artist whose pictures have
made the whole world that lies akin to the
heart of a child acknowledge the power of
her genius.
Her magic pencil has transformed even the
American home midgets into the quaintest
and loveliest of little antiques, with their
Mother Hubbard" and "Greenaway"
gowns, and their sailor and grandfather cos
tunes. Her name is a household word; her
dlctum as powerful as that of a court de-
signer; her modes as closely followed in the
world of fashion and the larger world lying
without that would be fashionable as are
those of a Worth.
A glimpse of her studio, hint of her
methods of work, just enough to make you
wish for more, | will give here a. vas told
me by my husband, who saw her there in
the summer of 1880, J do not need to de-
scribe her face, as yot: have it in the picture
pei%Te ycu-au tie kind cordiality, the sweet
forgetfuness of self, the earnest devotion to
her work; face that inspires confidence at
once.
In speaking of her daily work, which is
from until 2 she said that each of her i'm
aginative designs is wrought out by hard,
laborious process. She plans out all the lit
tie robes, and quaint bonnets and funny old
cloaks to the minutest detail of each bow
pointed to them hanging there around the
studio wall, so motionless then, but soon to
he alive again with charming curves and airy
grace when obedent to the little creatures
within.
The little models have to be tied and but
toned and pinned into the quaint garments
to pose with many rests between, but the
artist, with tireless pencil, must go over and
over, in dry drudgery, each line and curve,
altering here, improvising there. spending
hours upon one little detail that the whole
may be perfect. Is it any wonder that the
Illuminate figures seem to walk, to speak, to
pirouette and masquerade?

tender, eauiste figure and face of little

worshipper to homage-my Little Brown
Maiden" She is my ideal Of certain de-
mure grace, a sweet reserve. childish ques-
tioning into the coming years, gay abandon
as regards all sorrow, present and to come.
There she sits in little dull brown gown,
her hands in a big muff that, despite the
weary body, shall be held with the air of a
grown-up lady; the big bonnet with its large
bow to one side, the tired little shoes, creased
and evidently dusty; so tired they are ney-

dear Little Brown Maiden" not all the
money that might be offered me in handsful,

Household Hints.

The yolk of an egg mixed with little mo-
lasses makes a rich brown glaze for the top
of rusks and buns.
This is said to be very good remedy for
hoarseness: Beat the white of an egg to a
stiff froth, add two tablespoonfuls of sugar,
the juice of one lemon and glass of warm
water
To remove freckels take tablespoonful of
lemon Juice, quarter of drachm of pow
dered borax, and half drachm of fine
sugar. Mix together, and let them stand a
week in a glass bottle; then rub little on the
face and hands at night,
A handsome cover for a feather buster is
quite elegant and ornamental. 1t is made
in the shape of long, narrow bag of pale
colored satin, which is embroidered with
design of a Vatican housemad with buster
OF peacock feathers in her hand. A large
bow of ribbon of the color of the satin ties at
the top
Lovely little wraps for the baby-carriage
are made of two pieces of fannel-one, for
instance of blue, and one of white; pink the
edges OF both. If the blue is to serve for
lining, put pretty design in outline stitch
on it, and then catch the blue and white to-
gether with row OF feather stitching about
two inches from the edge. If you wish to
make it still more ornamental, a handsome
bow of blue satin ribbon just above the en-
broidery is handsome How long it will re-
main so depends on how well behaved the
baby is.
To make a convenient little bag for fancy
work, take piece of pink, blue, white or
yellow sateen about yard square; line it
with white silk China or surah finish the
edge where the sides join with neat ruffle
of lace. With large plate or a string tied
to a pencil and fastened at the center mark
very lightly a circle nearly as large as the
square will permit; stitch the sides together,
following the delicate mark, and then run
another row of stitching three -fourths of an
inch inside of the first circle. With a bob
bin run two pieces of satin ribbon through
the shirr, allowing them to come out at dag
onally opposite corners; the bag may be
more easily drawn up with two than with
one ribbon.

The fight, if it comes off here (Which is at
present more than prohable) will be the
biggest advertisement Ell Paso ever had. It
will bring large number of live, go-ahead,
well-to-do people here, and there is not
business house in town that won't be largely

Ninety-three thousand acres of trees have
been planted in Kansas during the last three
years.
1t is bad policy to put the hogs in young
orchards, especially one where there is but
little, if any, sod, and where the trees are
young and tender.
Some writer says that the foot and mouth
disease that so troubles our British cousins,
will with much more certainty be found
among the people who have the govt and
talk too much than among American cattle.
1t is now held by scientific men that a
dead branch exhausts the vitality OF the tree
as much as though alive. The dead canes on
raspberry bushes would appear to affect them
in like manner. Bushes not cleared of old
canes produce small, defective, crumbling
specimens.
A prominent Californian who has fifty

Savannah (Ga.l Times.
Probably the most remarkable infant ever
born anywhere was ushered into life in this
city last Monday. Its popularity consists
altogether in its size, or rather in want of
size. The child now five days old and in
good health weighs exactly one and one
quarter pounds, and is little over nine
inches tall. The clothes which were made
for it were entirely too large to be utilized
The child has been kept wrapped in soft cot
