The;Health Lift.

Read what DIR. Ludwig says of the Health
Lift exercise: so person engaged in seden-
tary pursuits, the constant use of the Health
Lift will prove a great blessing. Unlike all
other physical exercises, it does not exagger-
ate the strength of one part of the body at the
expense OF the other parts, but it brings every
muscle into prompt service at the same me-
ment, causing healthy action and renewed
and lively circulation of the blood. OF its
merits can speak from personal experience,
having practiced on the Health Lift about
eight months. Commencing with lifting 100
pounds, which was full lift for me at that
time, at the end of the eight months could
lift $40 pounds with as much ease as could
the 100 lbs. at the commencement. I cheer
fully recommend the use of the Health Lift.
Mann's Reactionary LITTER is the only reliable
machine for exercise.

The Americans

Herbert Spencer in the Contemporary Review.l
The world has never before seen social
phenomena at all comparable with those
presented in the United States. A So
clety spreading over enormous tracts,
while still preserving it's political CONT
nuity, is new thing. This progress
i've incorporation of vast bodies has new
er occurred on such scale before.
Large empires, composed of different
peoples, have, in previous cases, been
formed by conquest and annexation.
Tben,yOur immense pleXus of railways
and telegraphs tends to consolidate this
vast aggregate of states In way that
no such aggregate has ever before been
consolidated. And there are many mi
nor cooperating causes, unlike those
hitherto known. No one can say how it
is all going to work out. That there
will come hereafter troubles of various
kinds, and very grave ones, seems high
ly probable; but all nations have had,
and will have their troubles. Already
you have triumphed over one great trou-
bic, and may reasonably hope to tri-
umph over others. It may. [ think, be
concluded that, both because of it's size
and heterogeneity of its components, the
American nation will be long time in
evolving its ultimate form, but that its
ultimate form will be high. One great
result is, [ think, tolerably clear. From
biological truths it is to be varieties OF
the Aryan race forming; the population
will produce finer type of man than has
hitherto existed; and type of man
more plastic, more adaptable, more ca
pable of undergoing the notifications
needful for complete social life. l think
that whatever difficulties they may have
to surmount, and whatever fluctuations
they may have to pass through, the
Americans may reasonably look to a time
when they will have produced a civ
ilization grander than any the world has
known

When bedtime arrived I sought my

en- deadly scorpions clinging to the outside
OF the light canopy. Several silver-hued
and decidedly pretty lizards lay upon
the walls, their glittering eyes sparkling
like diamonds as they longingly watched
the swarms of flies buzzing around.
Somewhat ashamed to call for assistance.
and not caring to emerge from under the
netting while lot of scorpions seemed
10 be holding their sharp pointed and
venomous tails curled up in readiness to

q chair he unlocked the canopy from it's
fastening over head, and gathering it in
his arms, scorpions and all, shook it out
the door. Thus passed my first night in

The Price of Burglars Kit.
(From the Cleveland Herald.I


Bank burglars tools are generally of
very superior order, gathered with care
and piecemeal until the kit Is made up.
A full kit of the best order is worth
$4,000. This may all go in the event of
failure of job by disturbance, and
generally does go when successful piece
of work Is accomplished, as the booty is
heavy enough to carry away in itself, so
that tools are left behind. Mechanics of
a superior class exist in larger cities
who make a speciality in fashioning
burglars tools. In the absence Of such
mechanic the tools are collected in parts,
but as this is risky way Of obtaining
them, it is avoided If possible. Kits of
the tobynan's tools are kept on hand for
hire, and a good collection can be OBJ
tanned III the centers of the business for
from $100 to 5000. These tool-renters
are generally tool-makers also, but often
the fence has them on hand, and it is a
part of the business of the old cracksmen
to keep them. Fifty per- cent. of the
noted burglars are practical smiths, and
thoroughly understand the temper and
capacity of their own tools. Sometimes
a gang, each owning nipple nents of var
ious kinds, pool their possessions and
thus make up full exit" The tool
makers have their specialties. Some are
famous with chisels. others with punch
es and j1mmies, and one maker made a
national reputation for sledge of lead
and copper that entirely superseded
that formerly used of steel, because of
the dull, almost noiseless blows, it

MONoLoGUE FROM LONGFELLOW'S
"MICHAEL ANGELO"

Better than thou cannot, Brunelleschi,
And Tess than thou will notl If the thought
Could, like windlass, lift the ponderous stones,
Aud swing them to their places; if a breath
CsQutd blow this rounded dome into the air,
As If If were bubble. and these statues
Spring at a signal to their sacred stations,
as seutinels mount guard upon wall,
Then were my task completed. Now, alasl
Saught am but Saint SebalduF, holding
Upon his hand the model of church,
AS German artists paint him; and what years,
What weary years, must drag themselves along,
Ere this be turned to stone What hndrances
Must block the way; what idle interferences
Of Cardinals and Canon's of st. Peters,
Who nothing know of art beyond the color
OF cloaks and stockings. nor of any building
Save that of their fortunesi And what then?
I must then the short-ceming of my means
Piece out by stepping forward, as the Spartan
Was told to add step to his short sword.
And is Fra Bastian dead? Is all that light
Gone cut that sunshine darkeped; all that music
And merriment that used to make our lives
Less melancholy swallowed up in silence,
Like madrigals sung in the street at night
BY passing jewellers? 1t is strange indeed
That he should die before me- IT is against
Tie law Of natu e that the young should die,
And the old live; unless it be that some
have long been dead who think themselves alive,
Because not buried. Well, what matters it,
Since now that greater light that was my sun,
Is set and ali is darkness, all is darkness!
Deaths lightnings strike to right and left of me,
And, like ruined wall, the world around me
C1Tzu1b, es away, and am left alone.
Rave no friends, and want none. My own thoughts
Are now my sole Ompanions-thoughts of her,
That like beneliction fJom the skies
Come TO in my solitude and soothe me.
When men are old. the incessant thought of Death
Follows them like their shadow; sits with them
At every neal; sleeps with them when they sleep;
And when they wake already is awake,
Aud standing by their bedside. Then, what folly
Tt rs in us to make enemy
Of this importunate follower, not friend!
To me friend, and not an enemy,
Has ne become since all my friends dead.

The Beauty of Naples.


''See Naples and die, was the cpl
tome of ancient admiration for the city,
situated on the most glorious range of
water washed hills in the whole world.
Let any one who has even entered New
York harbor of sunny day, when it's
emerald amphitheater was bathed In
shimmering haze that comes of the
transparent atmosphere of sea and sky
commingled, imagine a more compressed
mise en- scene, where, by single coup
dOeil, as it were, the the transcendant
beauty of the combination comes at a
glance. Some idea of the terrestrial
glory of Naples will sthen be realized
but not all, by any means. For, to i'm
agine all, you must have the purpGng
sea with its mirage-like creatures sus-
pended over the Isles of Ischia and Ca
pri; you must see with the eye of the
flesh the symmetrical parterres that
sweep in curves for twenty miles on
either hand of Naples. Nor is this the
least. Glistening in the soft sunshine
the eye catches glimpses of sequestered
hamlets, of palaces grouped among the
tropical foliage, orange groves, cedars
OF Lebanon, olives, rose plantations
and all manner of gorgeous growing
things that lure the eye and lull the
senses to repose. The trans
lucent air, laden with the odors of
millions OF fragrant blossoms, sleeps
the sense In dreamy languor. The pic
turesque scarlets of the Contadine (fe-
male peasants) and the not less striking
red, blue and gold of the fishermen and
Iaborers fill IN a picture that
makes mere description poverty-stricken
and burlesque.

LIQUOR Licenses in Russia.

The decree regulating the liquor traf-
fc IN Russia, recently signed by the en-
pcror, is one of the most stringent char
acter. There is to be only one liquor
shop in village, and where two or three
villages are almost contiguous one shop
must suffice for their combined inhabi-
tants. The publican must be native
to the place, appointed.and paid by the
common council, and must sell food as
well as liquor. If he allows any person
to get drunk, he is liable not only to dis
missal, but to fine and Imprisonment. IF
any Russian village is reported to the
authorities as addicted to drunkenness.
the sale of liquor may be interdicted
for as long period as may seem neces-
sary,
