The Clean Newspaper.

There is growing feeling, in healthy
communities, against journals which
make it their special object to minister
to perverted taste by seeking out and
serving up III seductive form d .sgust-
ing and licentious revelations. There
is good reason to believe that the clean
newspaper is more highly priezd to-day
than it was four or five years ago. 1t
is also safe to predict that, as people in
all ranks of life who protect their own,
at least, from contamination, become
more conscious of the pernicious influ-
ence of certain class of journals, call
ed enterprising because they are ambi-
tious to serve up dirty scandals, they
will be careful to see that the journals
they permit to be read in the family
circle are the class that never forget
the properties of life. Already men
and women of refinement and healthy
morals have had their attention called
to the pernicious influence of bad liter.
aturc, and have made commendable ef-
forts to counteract the same by causing
sound literature to be published and
sold at popular prices. These efforts
are working silent but sure revolution
The best authors are more generally
read to day than at any previous date.
The sickly sentimental story paper,
and the wild ranger and pirate story
books, are slowly but surely yielding
the field TO wolthier claimants. To the
praise of the decent newspaper, it may
be said that where it has place in the
family, and has been read for years by
young as well as old, it has developed
such healthy tone and such discri
minating taste, that the life-nature
OF the slums has no admirers. Fortu
nately, the number of such families il
increasing in the land, and us they in
crease the journal that devotes itself to
sickening revelations of immortalit,
will be compelled to find its support
ers solely ameng those Classes whc
practice vice and crime, or are ambi
tlous to learn to follow such ways

j notice that women drink great
deal more wine, and drink it more pub
licly, than they used to. At belmont
cos, at Warmleys, in Washington, and
even at Youngs, in proper Boston,
lady lunching alone does not hesitate
to order bottle of good wine, and, in
consequence, | have been told, the
MONDAY snack of woman of fashion
never costs less than SlO and as it
has become quite the thing lately for
married women to take young men to
lunch or supper and pay the bills, the
caterers regard them with profound con-
sideration, for they order more extrava-
gantly than men.
1t is said that when women do drink
they can outdrink men and show the
effects less. An instance in favor of
this theory occurred few days ago.
Mrs. M, young married lady of New
York, whose name is known in connec-
tion with the grand charity balls and
the flower parties at Delmonico's, made
wager with young bachelor of the
Union League, who was staying at
the same hotel, one not far from
Ocean Pier, that she could ''drink him
down"
Mrs. M. is tine-looking blonde, and
attired in an evening dress of white
brocade, appeared on the scene of the
refined contest, where Mr.. w. awaited
her. also in evening costume. The
champagne was ordered, and, accord
ing to the walters, "the fun began 1t
ended by the gentleman being assisted
from the room before his third bottle
could be uncorked, while, the lady,
with sparkling eyes and flushed cheeks
drank his health in the first glass, from
her third bottle, and swept from the
table with a firm tread. Cincinnati

A Stand OFF,

A couple of practical joSers, living
at big up town hotel, bought terra
pin while walking through the market
the other day, and slipped it into the
bed of fresh arrival who had just re-
gistered.
They watched that night until they
saw the newcomer retire to bed In
about ten minutes white-robcd figure
began shouting down the elevator
shaft for the landlord.
When the crowd got upstairs the
victim conducted the landlord to the
bed and and turned down the clothes.

er, solemnly, pointing to the terrapin,

The ARTIcHoKE'-This vegetable is
more highly esteemed in England than
with us. The edible portions are the
thick scales of the flower heads, which
are eaten both raw aud boiled. AS
soon as the heads are cut in the SUN
mer, the plants should be cut down. A
deep, rich, sandy loan suits the plant
the best. BY starting with seed in
April or May, setting the plants when
large enough into rows three to four
feet apart and two feet in the row,
they will reach maturity by the second
year. After the second year offsets
may be used for planting new beds
Cover the beds with litter every fall
aud spade in good coat of manure in

There are only about 100 Japanese
in New York city. This is explained
by the fact that the japanese are, per,
haps, more 10th to leave their homes.
even for profit to be gained in foreign
countries, than any other people in the
world. This ardent love of country
has checked emigration from japan,
but this year something has occurred
which will influence great many ia
panese to come 10 this country. Hither-
to the Japanese who have come here
have been nearly all of the student
class. Last January the mikado pro.
mulgated law, similar to the German
military code, by which every young
man in Japan, on coming of age, is
Obliged to serve three years in the army.
This law makes no distinction as To
social standing, and puts a stop to the
purchase OF substitutes. The lower
classes will be benefited by this law.
but the young men of standing and
education regard those three years as
the best part of their lives wasted.
Hence, it is anticipated that before long
stream of the best young blood in
Japan will be pouring steadily in this
direction. In the event of Chinese
war, which probably caused the enact.
ment OF this law, these young men
would be the first TO volunteer, but
they rebel against three years of use,
less service IN time OF peace.

The bearing peach tree cannot be
cultivated too often. The soil must at
all times be kept loose and friable, and
cultivation should be kept up until the
fruit is ripe. The new growth of the

ger OF stimulating late growth. Stir

LONGFELLOW IN WESTMINSTER.

From over the wild Atlantic,
And wash OF the Western seas,
A voice came like the murmur
OF summer among the trees
As sweet as the innocent laughter
From children at their play
Yet fraught with the deepest wisdom
OF men OF an older day.
And never an English household
But felt It's tender thrill,
Like the weird AeolIan music
OF a harp on the window-sill.
II came TO man and maiden,
Like the swelling OF midnight chimes,
And they knew that the heart OF the singer
Was beating in the rhymes
II came TO the careworn toller,
As he stood mid the somky throng,
And his tears would start in rapture
AT the marvellous gifts Of song.
For II told a beautiful story
That memory still keeps green
AT the murmuring pines and the hemlocks,
The tale OF Eyangeline.
1t told OF Hlawatha
And the Laughing Waters grace,
In tne lay tnat for future ages
Embalms vanished race.
And the flower OF German legend
Was culled In the masters Skill
nd offered fragrant posy,
That all may keep who will.
The New World and the Old World
Joined hands In each liquid line,
Where the myrtle OF classic culture
Was wreathed with Western pine
And never word he uttered
But straight to the heart 1t flew
AS soft as the summer cleaning,
As pure as the morning dew.
o dear, dead voice Of the singer
Whose magical notes are DER,
our hearts are true TO the music
That echoes forever more.
Opoet, thy tunes are symboled
BY the grave-plot's sacred flowers
death, where is thy conquest
His immortal songs are ours.
