The Death Penalty,

The Swiss cantons of Glarus and Zu-
rich save just voted for the re-establish-
ment of the death penalty. These are
the first two of the Protestant cantons
to take this step, III which all of the
Catholic cantons have preceded them.
The abolition of the death penalty in
Switzerland was tried under as hopeful
conditions as exist anywhere and it
proved a failure. 1t was found that
murders grew more %frequenta and nearly
all of the cantons have now voted to re-
turn to the older law. This experience
is worthy the attention of sentimentalists
everywhere, though in fact we do not
need to go abroad for instruction onthis
subject. The practical abolition of the
death penalty in many of the United
States, through technical complications
and the loose administration Of justice,
has had an evident effect in the IN
creased frequency of murder. A few
prompt trials, convictions and execu-
tions, without any avoidable delay,
would have the best possible Influence
in making life more secure.

nhubarD Pie and Old Time Pancakes.

"Rhubarb?n said the artist as he laid
aside his apron; 'you are a little early
for that. But if you want my recipe
here it is: Peel and cut into imch-lenghs
two small punches of rlubarb; put on
,he fire in a porcelain stew-pan with
half a cup of water; cook until tender
and then stir in a large tablespoonful of
butter, a dessartspoonful of cornstarch;
wet with a little cold water and n scant
cnpful of sugar. Remove from the fire
after it has boiled up once and add very
slowly, beating the while, two we'll
whipped eggs. Line a deep dish with
good paste, fill with this mixture, cover
with paste and bake. There should be
two cups of the rhubarb afterit is
stcwed. The above quantity is sufli-
ciAlt for one large II two small pies"
You have probably tasted pancakes
that grandmother malc?'"
Yes
"Well, what was her way?"
Whipping out a book OF memoranda,
the artist read slowly:
"Melt butter the size of an egg in a
pint of hot sweet milk: add n pint Of
cold milk, the yolks of four eggs thor
oughly beaten, a ~teaspoonful of salt,
half a cake of compressed yeast dis
solved in n little warm water, and flour
sufficient to make a stiff batter; set this
to rise in a warm place for three hours
if they are wanted for dinner, over night
in a cool place if they are wanted for
breakfast. and then add the beaten
whites which have been kept cool mean
time. No, four must be added again
before baking. Try these with honey
or maple syrup"

Bierstadt at tho White Ho ,se.

From a Washington Letter.
President Arthur has a cultivated
taste in all little nrt matters. Rich
screens and portieres continue the fine
combinations of color in this corridor
apartment, and the broad fan window
at tho end receives the afternoon sun
through II of Titiany's large designs
of ieweled glass. Deep chairs and
sofas, low tables and shaded lamps add
to the air of repose and comfort that
the place wears. A few ebony cabinets
are filed with rare china and bric-a-brac,
and fine paintings by Bierstadt
ment the wills. Mr.. Bierstadt isaper-
sonal friend of the presidents, and on
one of his visits here he was forced to
notice the bare walls of the upper part
Of the house, nothing more cheering OF
beautiful than the portraits of his pre-
decessors being furnished for this resi-
2encc of the Chief Magistrate. In con-
sequence, Mr.. Bierstadt sent these pic
lures down from his studio, lending
them to the president for as long a
time as he chooses to keep them. They
were hung in their present places inst
two years ago, and after a twelvemonth's
contemplation of the painted semblance
of the yellowstone Falls" the sYel-
lowstone Canyon" and the "Giant
Geyser" President Arthur made uphis
mind to go out and see the originals.
The three Yellowstone paintingsare fine
samples of Bierstadt's work, and said to
be most faithful reproductions of the
great TEXTURES of that wonderland now
open to the world. The other two
Bierstadts are scenes on Canadian lakes
where tho angler is throwing his fly and
watching the reflections in the still,
clear waters.

How Great Players Travel,

Mr.. Joseph Jefferson Trip ya1i
Winkle) will travel only 30 weeks next
season. He is conducting his affairs at
present upon a basis which is avoided by
all other theatrical stars. It is his in
tention to play from September until
the last of December, which is general
ly considered the worst part of the
dramatic season, particularly in an
election year. Seventeen weeks out Of
the 90 which are laid out for his ,onr
are said to be arranged exclusively
among one-night stands. Its Mr.. JEFF
ferson's impression that he is strongest
in the smaller towns along that some
what yague and ~far-reaching region
known as ''the road" He will travel in
a private a arranged upon the hotel
principle, thus avoiding the necessity
of routing his company out at all hours
of the night to take unseemly trains.
The hotel car, SO far as its em-
ployment in theatrical affairs is con-
cernea, has worked a great change in
the system of travel. The comfort of
the actors is greatly enhanced, both in
the matter of eating and sleeping. The
ordinary hotel which is met with in one
night towns is Of extremely poor quail
ty, both in regard to its fare and its
rooms. 1t is also expensive. Under
the car system actors can go directly
from the theatre to the station and take
to their beds, not TO be awakened again
until such an hour as breakfast may be
served. Breakfasts on private cars are
gotten up for TIE convenience of tie
passengers and not to snit the railway
officials. If the train by wllch the car
is drawn should be delayed, there IS III
sitting up to SILVER and wait in cold rail
way stations; and in fact nearly all the
nuisances of ordinary road travel are
obviated. The hotel car costs from $50
to $75 a day, in addition to a guarantee
to the railway companies of a certain
number Of fares at theatrical rates.
The system is cheaper than the old one
of living at hotels, and makes a theatre
cal organization OYER into family party
in very short and pleasant order.

Origin of Camille.

The younger Dumas is sixty Years OF
age, but he does not look over forty-tive.
When he was twenty-five, it is said, he
found himself face to face with Il mass
of debts aud without a sou whcrewith to
pay them. Though his father made
and coined money with his writings he
flung it out of the window as fast as he
earned it, and was unable to help the
young mar out of his difficulties. The
son contemplated his liabilities, per-
ceived the hopelessness of his position,
and made up his mind, with the cool
resoluteness which forms the back,
ground OF his character, to commit sui
eide. He wrote some letters, set his
papers in order, and locked himself up
in room NTH a case of loaded pistols.
But at the verymomant OF taking up his
weapon an idea crossed his brain :"Sup.
pose L try my hand at literature once
more!-suppose | write n noyel?" The
"Deme Aux Camellias" was the fruit
of this idea. The novel and its still
more famous adaptation for the stage
brought Dumas both fame and for
tune, and there was no more idet
of committing suicide. Years after he
showed a friend the still loaded pisto.
which he kept as relic in alocked draw

no man need even despair" was his re
mark. The heroine Of the dame aus
Cauellias," known to the French stage
as Marguerite Gautier, and to tht
American boards at Camille, was a rea,
parsonage named Madeleine Duplessis
One touchingt trait in her career deserves
recording. When she died, she be.
queaihed all her possessions to hel
niece. a young peasant girl, on condi-
ton that she should never come to Par

her innocent young relative. Madeleine
Duplessis was originally a washerwo

EesettiIg Plants.

Farm and Garden says: Plants that
have been kept in the cellar, and are
intended to bloom in pots, may be
shaken out and %replanted in fresh soil,
If they are too large or do not require
reporting, some of the top soil may be
taken off and be replaced by ~well-rotted
manure. Trim out NIL the weak
branches, and all superf1uous ones. It
is almost impossible to say how much
to trim, as it depends much onthe plant
as a rule it is better not to cut back
enough. than too much. After repot-
ting the plants water them well and let
them remain in the cellar until the
weather is warm enough to set them
out"

The orchid %epidendum Glare smells
precicely like roasted apples.
Camellias should have their foliage
sprinkled or moistened daily.
Every flower looks the best when
graced by u setting of its WI foliage.
In reporting plants, take care that
they stand no deeper in the new pot than
before.
Sow m%ignonette where the plants are
wanted, for transplanting them seldom
succeeds well.
The begonia welteminsis is one of the
easiest grown and rarest towering yarie-
ties of these excellent pot-plants for
summer decornm.
Sweet peas and morning-glories may
be sown very early in the garden; the
flowers are the tinerforh having the roots
form in cool weather.
Water heated to one hundred and
thirty degrees is one of the best reme-
dies for plant insects of all kinds. Sub
merge the plants completely several
times, a few seconds at a time.
A beautiful custom prevails III some
places of giving each child belonging to
a Sunday school a Towering plant in
the spring.
The sooner dahlias, %richardia, Gala
dunn and cannaroots, that have been
kept over winter, are startedi into growth,
the longer will be the summer show OF
these flowers.
Cinerarias, although they will not
bear the slightest degree of frost with.
out harm, are impatient of heat. About
fifty degrees is the best for them.
Good taste is against the mixture Of
many different flowers in the arrange
ment of bouquets. A few kinds, and
then different colors Of these, produces
the most pleasing results.
Wild violets of the different %colors,
blue, yellow and white, and the trilliums
or w~ake-robins. taken from open woods
thrive in cultivation if planted in partly
shaded places.

William Astor's New Steel Yacht

The Nourmahal, William Astor's new
S35O,O00 yacht, is to be launched in a
few weeks. The hull andthe frame are
OF steel, the deck beams are of steel,
and even the deck itself is to be made
OF the same material. Steel will be
used for the deck houses as high as the
windows.
The Nourmahal promises n beautiful
model. The deck length is 227 feet and
a few inches. The breadth of beam il
80 feet, and the depth of hold 1874.

Antonio Dyspepsia

Antonio means without, or diminished
tone or vigor. AS appliedto dyspepsia,
it denotes a form of it resulting from an
enfeebled condition ofthe system. The
tendency to it is quite often inherited.
1t Is frequently one of the character
istics of old age, the entire digestive
tract sharing in the general decrease Of
physical power. 1t may also have its
origin in whatever lets down the nor
NAL vitality-sedentary occupations;
bad hygienic surroundings; %protracted
loss of sleep, especially if the hours due
to it are spent in study or pleasure;
over-brain-work habitual lack of men
tai employments.
The following are some of the promi-
nent symptoms; q feeling of u~neasiness
in the stomach after eating, and gener-
ally lasting four hours: the "gulping"
up of l. .ncid and offensive acids, and
flatulence in the stomach and bowls lit
tie or nc appetite, and often a positive
disrelish for food; an almost entire alb.
se.,ce Of thirst; an infiamed condition of
the throat aad back Of the mouth from
the extension upward of the irritated
membrane of the stomach rendering
the throat dry and the voice HUSKY;
constipation, from the cnfeebled action
of the intestines, the fluid portion Of
their contents being unduly absorbed;
III some cases palpitation Of the heart
aud difficulty Of breathing, causing the
patient to fear that he has some danger
Gus heart trouble; languor, and some
times uncomfortable drowsiness after
meals.
When the dyspepsia has continued
long, the digestive tubules are liable to
undergo fatty degeneration and wasting,
with loss of power to secrete the gastric
juice.
Prior to this change of structure the
ailmelt is durable. 1t is due to specific
causes, these causes must be removed.
Ii it is part Of an enfeeIled physical
state, this must be remedied.
The family physician alone can treat
the case with any success. The medl-
cines which the patient, Of himself, or
from the advice of unwise friends, might
be likely to take would, in many cases,
| only aggrayate the disease. Indeed, the
physician himself will depend very lit
tie on medicine, and mainly on a care
| full regulation Of the diet, personal hab.
its domestic influences. Especially will
he urge, where it is possible, travel and
frequent changes from ones ordinary

arts and sciences and civilization took
a long while in coming, and the indus

At least there is very little indication of
it. This is probably owing to the fact
that life is carried on under much cas-
