An Affection for Statues.

The statue Of Roger Williams, in
statuary hall Of the capitol at Wash
ington, writes a national capital cor
respondent, has lost the finger of its
right hand. 1t has been recently broken
off. Very few persons have noticed
the fracture Supervising Architect
Clark is aware of the fact, but he pre-
serves a discreet silence. A sculptor
in town has standing agreement to
mend everything that happens to the
statues. He makes a good thing when
ever accidents occur. He was inspect
ing the counterfeit presentment of Will
liams, recently, and made a mental
note Of the missing finger. Shortly af-
terward a curious story was ahoat. II
related to the aflectionate regard which
an elderly lady, Of odd habits, who
keeps curiosity stand in the corridor,
has for the marble fingers of prominent
men. 1t is said that she goes into
statuary hall after Congress adjOurns
for the night, and bows and scrapes TO
them like a pagan TO his idols. Abra-
ham Lincoln has a strong attraction
for her. She gets stepladder, and
kisses his marble face with all the
ardor of a Juliet. AS a result of this
OSCILLATION, "Old Abe's" marble nose
and lips have grown black, and require
a dose Of soda and sandpaper to re-
store them to their natural purity of
expression. OF late she has displayed
an exalted affection for Roger viii
liams. She has busted him in and out
of season. In one of her busting
moods she struck the little finger re-
ferred TO with the handle of the duster,
and knocked it off. This is said to be
the true explanation Of the fact that
Williams now has only four fingers on
his right hand.

WISE WORDS.

He is richly endowed who is cheaply
diverted.
A contented spirit is the sweetness
of existence.
The most dangerous fattery is the
inferiority of those who surround us.
A great noise is often made by
small stone; loudest talk is not always
the deepest.
Slumbsr not in the tent in your col
umns. The world is advancing, ad-
vance with it.
If we had no faults ourselves, we
should not take pleasure in observing
those of others.
Ignorance is one Of those inhrmities
that are insensible; and though it be
ever so desperately sick, feels no pain
Or want of health.
1t is against human nature to believe
any people will persist in wrong and
cruelty if they are permitted to enjoy
their natural rights.
We ought not to look back, unless it
is to derive useful lessons from past
errors and for the purpose of pro6ting
by dear-bought experience.
Would you punish the spiteful-
show him you are above his malice.
The dart he throws at you will re-
bound and pierce his own heart.
Let the young girlsee to adorn her
beauty, if she be taught also to adorn
ner mind and heart, that she may have
wisdom to direct her love of ornament
in due moderation.
The pleasures Of this world are de-
ceitful; they promise more than they
give. They trouble us in seeking
them, they do not satisfy us when pos
sessing them, and they make us despair
in losing them.
A good conscience is better than
two witnesses. 1t will consume your
grief as the sun dissolves ice. 1t is a
spring, when you are thirsty; staff,
when you are weary; screen, when
the sun burns you, and pillow in
death.
So certain is the crime of listening
to carry it's own punishment that
there is no pointed prohibition against
it; we are commanded not to commit
other sins, but this one draws down
its own correction, and woe be to hin
who infringes it :

When to Eat Meat.

1t is well known that the digestion
of different kinds of meat is the more
easily effected the longer the time that
transpires after the death of the ami
NAL The explanation given is, that
by keeping, the muscular tibers become
gradually dissociated; they soften, b.,
come less compact and consequently
are more soluble in the gastric juice.
According to psychologists, however, it
is not considered advisable to wait un-
til decomposition sets in, because, in
addition to its losing a great part of
itsnutritive qualities, the meat becomes
SO nauseous that no amount of cooking
OF the addition of condiments will
much improve it. NM, Pasteur and
Lemaire, in an interesting paper sub
mitted bythem to the French Academy
of Sciences, stated that meat too far
advanced, or what is termed "faisan-
dee, is most unwholesome, and it is a
mistake committed daily by sportsmen
TO wait until the game gets into this
condition, for it is then simply unfit TO
be eaten. The above-named biologists
have shown that tainted meat contains
animalcules, which do the work Of
transformation and destruction; and
as it is difficult to ascertain exactly the
extent of putrefaction that the meat
has undergone, one is liable to consume
it Just at the moment when ii should
be rejected. Nj. Pasteur aud other
photographers are Of the opinion that
these animalcules, of which there are
no less than thirty species, are of the
same nature as those that are found IN
living animals suffering from virulent

How Children Grow.

A table prepared by French sayant
gives the following data on the growth
of children: During the first year
after birth the growth in stature is
about seven and a half inches; from
two to three it is four to five; from
three to four an inch and half; from
four to six, two and a quarter inches
annually; from seven to eight, two
and half; from eight to twelve, two
inches; from twelve to thirteen, one
and eight-tenths; from thirteen to
fourteen, two and aquarter; fifteen to
sixteen, two; sixteen to seventeen,
nearly two. After this, though growth
continues until twenty-one, and some
times for years after, its rate dimin-
ishes. Increase in strides shows weak
tess of constitution or imperfect
nealth.

HEALTH HINTS.

A little powdered resin sprinkled on
to cut will prevent Inflammation;
put soft cloth around the finger and
wet it with water frequently.
Dr. Foote's Health Monthly advises
people not to "act upon the sup
position that exhausting physical ex-
ercise is strengthening; it is debili-
tating."
In case of accidental wounds, if
an artery is cut, compress above the
wound; if a vein is cut, compress
below; for burn, instantly apply a
solution of>the bicarbonate Of soda and
there will be no after soreness.
The council of public health, Paris,
after studying into the question Of di-
gestive powers of children, report that
col liver oil and other such fatty
preparations are of disadvantage to
young children; that they impair the
digestive functions and, being Of no
use, are in the way.
One of the English country towns
which appears to have a death-rate
that is rather high is consoled by the
medical officer, who asserts that it
would be still higher were it not for the
smokiness of the town. The evils Of
a bad system of drainage. he thinks,
are offset largely by the smoke from
the factories, which acts as a deodor-

THE TRUTH.


Speak thou the truth, let others fence
And trim their work for play;
In pleasant sunshine of pretense
Let others bask their day.
Show thou the light II conscience CLEAN
Set not thy bushel down
The smallest spark may send n beam
Ger hamlet, tower and town.
Woe unto him on safety bent,
Who creeps from age to youth,
Failing to grasp his life's intent
Because he fears the truth.
Betrue TO every inmost thought,
And as thy thought thy speech.
What thou have not by striving bought
Presume not thou to teach.
Then each wild gust the mist shall clear
We now see darkly through,
And justified at last appear
The truth in all things true.

FASHION NOTES.

The new linen lawns are printed in
the sateen designs Of the season.
The hustle or crinolet is not adopted
by the masses Of English women.
Yellow corsage bows give the re-
quisite dash of warm color to sober
suit.
The chamois underskirt remains the
favorite Of English women for full
dress.
Orange, flame, daffodil, wallhower
and all yellow shades are in high
favor.
The shapes of new bonne;s are not
materially different from those of last
season.
Gloves of silk and Lisle thread cone
in all lengths and colors to mat h the
new goods.
The new black grenadines show
Spanish lace el1e, in the designs on
guipure grounds.
New raglans are given a bouffant
polonaise effect in the back by the loop
ing Of the drapery.
The costliest embroidered yelling
robes are maryels of open needlework.
They cost $50 a pattern,
Among the designs in the new sa.-
eens are red and green pepper (capsi-
cum pods, with foliage and stems.
Embroidered costumes of black
cashmere will be still more dressy with
trimmings of the new soutache lac3s.
Silk skirts that cling like Jersey
webbing will replace the chamois
skirt of the aesthetic woman as spring
advances.
Large pal1l-leaf patterns appear in
involved designs, covering the entire
surface OF new cashmere brooches of
the finest quality.
Corn flower and royal French blue,
orange, flame and gold yellow, OK
blood and cardinal red crop out in
most Of the new fabrics.
The pepper-pod designs on the new
sateens come in all stages of coloring
assumed by the fruit of this plant,
from the green pepper to the full red.
New parasols of black satin, having
one or two black Spanish lace flounces,
are varied with single or double fringes
of gold bullion between the lace falls.
The new silks and satins that come
in broche patterns show prevalence
of oriental harmonies of color, bright
ened with flame, orange and mandarin
yellow, in vanishing effects.
Silver braiding and chinchilla fur are
the trimmings for electric blue cloth
suits. Silver buckles clasp the drapery
of the polonaise; there is a neck-band
and half girdle of silver, and there
are silver clasps for fastening the
front.
Plastrons or vests laid in folds or
gathered in puffs, OF made plain, are
on most winter dresses. They are
narrow at the top, widen out on the
bust, and taper to a point below the
waist, where they are trimmed with a
large fiat bunch of loops and ends of
ribbon.
Young ladies with low, well-shaped
foreheads turn the hair back all around
in loose waves, with here and there a
curl; they may also wear side parting.
If the hair grows prettily on the nape
of the neck it is carried up high and
wound around in Psyche form and fast
ened by small ornamental comb of
Rhine stones or of shell.

Curious Superstition.

Captain Andrew j. Hess died recently
in San Francisco. Mr.. Hess, while
deputy sheriff, had been assigned
to the duty of death watcher" Of
Sing Lum, a Chinaman condemned to
death and who committed suicide in
prison. Just before hanging himself
Sing Lum wrote a letter in Chinese to
one of the Chinese priests, in which he
said that he had been treated so kindly
by Captain Hess, his watcher, that he
intended to report him favorably tt
"Poo Sot," the Great Savior, VINO, he
believed, would send to earth for Cap
tain Hess also. The fact that Captain
Hess died suddenly of heart diseas'
soon after the suicide of Sing Lum
caused quite a sensation in San Fran
cisco, and the followers of Contuciu
there fully believe that Sing Lum kept
his word, and that, as a result of his
intercession, the Great Savior actually
sent the Angel of Death TO call Sing
Lum's American friend from this
world.
