A Startling Side.

Mr.. Bright's appalling statement as
to the number of families in Glasgow
living in only one room apiece is cap
ped by the statistics of overcrowding in
French cities given by Nj. Nadaud in
support of his bill dealing with I'M
healthy tenements. According to NJ. Ma
daud there were 2l9,27 houses in
France without any window whatever,
and to which light and air are admitted,
when admitted at all, only through the
door or hole in the door, which has to
be stopped in cold weather. Allowing
five people to a family, more than 1,000,-
600 people altogether must be housed in
this eXecrable fashion. In Paris, al
though 60, 600 tenamentS have been dealt
with in the last thirty years under the
act of 1850, there are still between
three and four thousand families living
in single rooms without means of warm
ing. and between two and three thous-
and in single rooms with no aperture
for light and air-cupboards, in fact.
Between twenty-five and thirty thousand
habitations consist of single room
only. This side of the social question"
says the report from which these statis-
tics are drawn, ''has to be faced before
all others"-a conclusion which is grad
ually forcing itself on the minds of men
in other countries besides France. Pail

Stephens and Johnson.

In 1874 Alexander Ell. Stephens met
Herschel V. johnson on the stump in
Georgia, and Mr.. johnson frequently
addressed Mr.. Stephens as Sir Ora
cle," which remark the latter consid-
cred an epithet of reproach, if not a di-
rect insult. The result was that in the
course of few days he sent Mr.. john
son challenge. His friend who bore
it, Col. A. II. KEENAN,, found Mr.. John
son attending divine service. Never
theless, his mission being peremptory,
at the first opportunity he delivered his
charge. After reading the challenge,
Mr.. johnson Immediately re-entered
the church and asked the congregation
"to unite with him In prayer for the
speedy conversion and salvation of
Alexander I'll. Stephens, who had in
vited him to mortal combat" After
listening to the prayer, Col. KEENAN,
returned to Liberty Hall, the home of
Mr.. Stephens, and informed him OF
what had occurred, saying Il have
heard Bishop Pierce pray: and other
eminent divines, but for earnestness,
pathos and eloquence it surpassed all
the appeals to the Most High that
have ever heard from the lips Of man r
This statement greatly affected Mr..
Stephens, and he Immediately withdrew
the challenge, the result being most
cordial reconciliation and unbroken
friendship to the end.

The Sleep That Men, Women and Child

The wear of the previous day is being
repaired. Nature is doing that herself.
She knows what the tired frame needs
just as she knows how to make the heart
throb and send the blood coursing
through the veins. Then she takes
chat tired frame, lays it down on bed,
surrounds it with the refreshing air of
night, covers it with the soft darkness
and lets the man rest. Tired natures

and as the hours wear by his energies
are renewed, his strength comes back,
and finally, when morning breaks and
the sunlight steals through the lattice,
he opens his eyes and is himself again.
Or if he is early to bed he awakes with
the cocks growing. Now who shall go
to that mans side an hour before he
opens his eyes and say to nature, stand
aside and let him get up. He has had
enough of rest? Well nature will say,
you can take him if you will, but will
charge him with an hours loss of sleep
and I'll collect it out of his bones and
nerves and his hairs and eyesight. You

: 4 Good Word for Oatmeal.

The oat crop, which is 80 prominent
In our farming, is rarely utilized for
farmers tables. In somewhat long
acquaintance in the rural districts, we
do not remember to have met with oat-
meal cooked in any form. This diet is
a favorite at the breakfast table in our
large cities, in the form of mush, and,
eaten with sugar and milk, is an APP
petising and wholesome article of diet.
But upon the farm the oat crop is very
largely money crop, sold in the nearest
market or at the railway station. IF
used upon the farm it goes to the horse
without grinding, or, if ground, as prov
ender for the pigs. Almost everywhere
We meet with corn products upon the
table, Indian bread, the convenient
johnny-cake, hasty pudding, samp,
hominy, corn bread, and that finest of
all summer dishes, succotash-thes sweet
corn mingled with the savory juices of
the bean The wheat plant is well
represented in bread and other forms of
cooking, though it has ceased to be a
product of many Northern farms. In
all the region where rye has taken the
place of wheat, rye bread is a staple
article of diet. Baked beans are about
as popular as ever, in therural districts,
and are likely to hold their own with
the coming generations. But oatmeal
is ignored as food fit for men. Among
the people who use it, and in the
analysis of the chemist. it stands con-
fessed as one of the most nutritious and
economical foods that can be used. The
Scotch people are living examples of
what oatmeal will do to make an
athletic race with plenty of brain, bone
and muscle. The Scotchman's average
daily rations is two and one-half pounds
of oatmeal and pint of milk. On this
he thrives and performs the labor of the
farm. Analysis shows that oatmeal is
very rich in heterogeneous matter, and
comes much nearer wheat flour in nu-
tritive value than is generally supposed.
The following table shows their COM
paratfye value:

Philosophy by n Doctor.


The celebrated DIR. Barthez was
taken sick while travelling, and, accord
ing to the manner of all physicians, he
called in practitioner to attend
him.
When the strange doctor put in an
appearance DIR. Barthez discovered to
his stupefaction that his colleague was
none other than an old servant of his.
How is this! you doctor? Since
when? and what can you do?"
"Sir, l picked up little medicine in
your service, and l have great success
here"
"Is that possible?"
eyes, and more so than you could
have yourself"
And, seeing the astonishment of his
old master, he continued:
"How many inhabitants do you think
this town number?"
II do not know; 10000, perhaps"
"Yes, about that many. And how
many do you think are really intelli.
gent and capable of approaching your
merits p
Il do not know"
"Let us say thousand, and that is
ample. Well, the thousand are yours
and the rest belong to me-"
Barthez became thoughtful for mo-
ment, and then answered: at is true
and you are right. And this is the way
of the world, notwithstanding its con
slant improvements; in spite of the
recriminations of all honest and mod
est doctors, the multitude will always
belong, be they great or small, humble
or exalted, politicians and doctors, ig
to charlatans, who are invariably gifted
with that imperturble assurance which
under the name of brass fascinates
and conquers the public, who accep,
their theories and cover before theil
assumed superiority.

A Peculiar Profession.

The occupation most peculiar to
Washington of all is, perhaps, the
dealer in Government documents. Ev-
erybody remembers, probably, Edward
Everett Hale's amusing story, written
when paper was bringing its highest
war prices, about the young man who
collected handbills and circulars and
prospectuses and documents and other
gratuitous literature, and had soon
placed himself beyond the reach of
want by the accumulation of fortune
In waste paper. This extravaganza is
sober fact in Washington. There are
men who NO only live comfortably, but
have acquired handsome competency
in the business of collecting and selling
Government documents. 1t is busi-
ness with all the advantages on the side
OF the dealer. The dealer need paw no
rent, he can store his stock at home.
and the United States Government fur
nishes him with his capital These
men make it business to get as many
copies as possible of every available
document issued by the Government.
and there are very few that are not
available. They store their collection
away. After few years the docu ments
become scarce, under the careless and
lavish system of distribution that pre-
walls here, and they begin to command
a price. As.the years go on and the
stock of the junk-shops is swept away
into the nav of the paper-mill, they
become still scarcer, and their price
rises. Cases have been known where
bureaus and commissions have been
compelled to turn to these private deal
ers in order to complete their own sets
of their own reports only few years
back. One of these dealers died last win
ter at an advanced age, after having been
many years in the business, and leaving
q comfortable estate. 1t is not an I'M
usual thing for Government officers to
make similar collections with the idea
that they will be valuable some day.
One man who has been in the service
only a few years has already about
10000 documents in his possession, and
makes it point to secure almost every
issue from the Government presses

BaltimOre's Bird.

Baltimore evidently takes to mystic
pageantry and its attendant splendors
with vim equal to that manifested in
Madri Gras jollities in New Orleans,
and an enterprise never before equal
ed anywhere in such sort of thing.
The preparations, for this years festiyi-
ties, which will embrace the three days
from September 18th to 18th inclusive,
have already been actively under way
for two months or more. In the way
of pageant, it would be difficult to
imagine more extensive or brilliant
programme than that laid out The
number of tableau cars will be double
that ever before attempted in any single
parade elsewhere, and in dimensions,
gorgeous construction and superb finish
will certainly bear off the palm of the
world.
The wonderful strides which have of
late been made with electric light will
be turned to striking advantage, as
this character of illumination win be
introduced in many novel forms. The
first nights display, made in honor of
the arrival of Lord Baltimore, will be
as unique as it will be magnificent. 1t
IS proposed to arm the military with
electric lights in at least ten different
colors; to place the powerful electric
focus light at many points; to fairly
turn night into day, and in many more
ways make the night a memorable
one.
The feature of this years Oriole will
be the night displays, and it has we'll
been termed Summer Nights Car
nival. As usual, the b. & o. is fore
most in making every possible arrange
ment for the transportation of its pat
rons, and in nothing will there be a
facility lacking to insure the utmost
comfort and complete satisfaction.
The rates by the Baltimore & Ohio will
be down, way down, and the limit of
time on round trip tickets all the most
exacting can demand. 1t will be well
to jot down the date in some conyen-
lent place-September 18th, 18th and
18th.

"They merely obey law in every

that they know everything about every
thing else. Those men have become

Wool.

1t appears that about 25 per cent. of
the entire production oil domestic wool
during the census year of 1880 came
from two States, Ohio and California.
The former State produced $4,000, 900
pounds and the latter 1900, 900
pounds. In the year 1870 the product
of Ohio was 10000, 900 pounds and that
of California 100000 pounds. TAX
ing the returns for 1880 of few other
important States in regard to wool
growing, Michigan had a product of
$4,000, 900 pounds, New York 5000, 900
pounds, Pennsylvania s, 600, 900 pounds,
Missouri 1000, 900 pounds and Wiscon-
sin 100000 pounds. Texas, by far
the largest State in the Union, had only
production equal to that of Missouri
or Wisconsin. But thiI quantity was
six times the amount il produced in
1870. The whole wool produce Of the
Union in 1880 was 155, 900, 900 pounds,
clipped from IS, 200, 900 sheep
